Matt O'Donnell Leads Advancing 169 Players; NBA's Paul Pierce Bags Plenty of Chips

Nível 8 : 400/800, 0 ante
Paul Pierce

On the eve of the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event, the penultimate tournmanet—Event #61: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha—kicked off with 386 players, which represented a 30% increase over last year’s field of 297 players. After eight one-hour levels of play, Matt O'Donnell is best positioned to make a run at the $852,692 first-place prize as he leads the 169 advancing players with 269,200. Quite a few of O'Donnell's chip came in the last hand of the night, which you can read about by clicking here.

Others who bagged big stacks are Jonathan Duhamel (253,000), Jared Bleznick (246,500), Alexey Rybin (245,600), Joseph Cheong (244,800), Scott Palmer (190,300), Mike Watson (158,500) and the NBA's Paul Pierce (143,100).

Pierce was extremely active throughout the day and it seemed to pay off, especially in Level 8 when he made a full house against John Kabbaj. Pierce, formerly of the Boston Celtics and now playing for the Brooklyn Nets, will enter Day 2 with a decent stack and looks to add a gold bracelet to go with his NBA Championship ring.

Obviously not everyone was as fortunate as the aforementioned players. Among those to hit the rail on Day 1 were Ben “Sauce123” Sulsky, A.P. Phahurat, John Juanda, Matt Marafioti, David Williams, Daniel Weinman, Josh Arieh, John Beauprez, Erick Lindgren, Ashly Butler, Justin Bonomo, Michael Mizrachi, David “Doc” Sands, Scott Clements, Phil Ivey, Barry Greenstein and high-stake online regular Hac Dang.

Dang’s elimination came on the last hand of Level 3. There was approximately 2,000 in the pot and a flop reading {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} when Dang checked from middle position and Justin "Boosted J" Smith bet 2,000 from the cutoff. Dang took his time before dropping in a call and then checked after the dealer burned and turned the {a-Clubs}. Smith waited about 45 seconds before betting 6,300 and Dang responded with a check-raise all in. "I call," Smith whispered.

Dang: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Smith: {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Dang had flopped top set but was behind the straight of Smith. The {9-Diamonds} failed to pair the board on the river and Dang rapped the table, stood and then exited the tournament.

Likewise, the defending champion, Jan-Peter Jachtmann, was unable to survive the day. He fell in the last level of the night after first being crippled by Tom Marchese and then eliminated. In the final hand, Jachtmann got his stack all in preflop holding the {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and was up against Marchese's {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The {8-Hearts}{5-}{5-Hearts} flop gave Jachtmann the lead with a pair of eights and a flush draw, but Marchese took it back when the {K-Clubs} turn paired his king. The {A-Diamonds} river gave Marchese two pair and would be the last card Jachtmann would see in the very event he won one year ago.

While many fell there are still quite a few big-name players left in the field including Christian Harder (153,400), Nacho Barbero (138,800), Matt Stout (121,600), Daniel Alaei (111,800), Ben "Bttech86" Tollerene (89,300), Jason Mercier (83,400), Eric Baldwin (77,100), Brian Hastings (72,800), Marcel Luske (68,000), Tom Marchese (63,100), Darryll Fish (59,400), Jan Collado (36,700), Phil Hellmuth (33,200) and Daniel Negreanu (29,900).

Day 2 action will begin at 2 p.m. PDT on Saturday. Join us then as we bring you another full day of action, which will include Day 1a of the $10,000 Main Event. Until then good night from the Rio All-Suite Casino in Las Vegas!

The Defending Champ Jachtmann is Out

Nível 8 : 400/800, 0 ante
Jan-Peter Jachtmann
Jan-Peter Jachtmann

There will be no repeat for defending champion Jan-Peter Jachtmann as he has been eliminated. We didn't catch the hand but Jason Mercier, who was seated at the same table, was kind enough to fill us in on some details.

According to him, Tom Marchese crippled Jachtmann and then finished the job. In the final hand, Jachtmann got his stack all in preflop holding the {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and was up against Marchese's {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The {8-Hearts}{5-}{5-Hearts} flop gave Jachtmann the lead with a pair of eights and a flush draw, but Marchese took it back when the {K-Clubs} turn paired his king. The {A-Diamonds} river gave Marchese two pair and would be the last card Jachtmann would see in the very event he won one year ago.

Ivey & Green Done and Dusted

Nível 7 : 300/600, 0 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

It's the tenth anniversary of the iconic and game-changing 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event, and it's only fitting that two players who made the top ten in that event squared off. We're talking about Phil Ivey and Sammy Farha, who bubbled the final table and finished runner-up that year respectively.

We didn't see the hand develop, but awhile back a big one went down between the two poker powerhouses. According to Tony Cousineau, Ivey flopped middle set while Farha had top and bottom pair. The chips went in and Ivey, who had Farha covered, was primed to win a big one. The turn was of no consequence, but the {K-} on the river was as it paired Farha and gave him the winning full house.

Ivey was left with a short stack after that hand, and while he nursed it for a bit, he was recently eliminated in unknown action.

Meanwhile, three-time WSOP bracelet winner Perry Green has been eliminated from the tournament.

Selbst Cruising; Jelassi Uses Last Lammer

Nível 4 : 150/300, 0 ante
Vanessa Selbst

Two-time bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst raised to 700 and received calls from the players in the hijack and cutoff. When action reached Ramzi Jelassi in the small blind, he three-bet all in for 3,400. Selbst thought for a bit before four-betting the pot and the other two players folded.

Jelassi: {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Selbst: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

The {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop wasn't too interesting other than the fact that it gave Jelassia top pair. He'd need another if he hope to overcome Selbst's kings though. The {2-Hearts} turn was no help, and while the {J-Diamonds} river gave him two pair, it also gave Selbst a winning flush.

Jelassi had one lammer behind and used it to get his last 10,000 chips.

In the last hand of Level 3, there was approximately 2,000 in the pot and a flop reading {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} when online high-stakes regular Hac Dang checked from middle position and Justin "Boosted J" Smith bet 2,000 from the cutoff. Dang took his time before dropping in a call and then checked after the dealer burned and turned the {a-Clubs}. Smith waited about 45 seconds before betting 6,300 and Dang responded with a check-raise all in. "I call," Smith whispered.

Dang: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Smith: {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Dang had flopped top set but was behind the straight of Smith. The {9-Diamonds} failed to pair the board on the river and Dang rapped the table, stood and then exited the tournament.

Meanwhile, Don Nguyen, who finished runner-up in the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship last night, has been eliminated from the tournament.

The Defending Champ Bests "Stealthmunk"

Nível 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Jan-Peter Jachtmann
Jan-Peter Jachtmann

Four players each out in 250 preflop and saw a flop of {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Erick Lindgren checked from the small blind and Jason Mercier did the same from middle position. Jan-Peter Jachtmann then bet 1,000 from the hijack, Justin "stealthmunk" Schwartz called from the button and the {5-Diamonds} was put out on the turn after the other two players folded.

Jachtmann bet 2,500, Schwartz called and the {K-Spades} completed the board on the river. Jachtmann fired out 4,100 and Schwartz didn't seem to excited to call. He did so anyway and Jachtmann tabled the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs} for an ace-high flush.

"Nice hand. I knew you had it," Schwartz said as he flashed the {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a king-high flush.

Bluffing in PLO

Nível 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Rules for Omaha
Rules for Omaha

Pot-limit Omaha is one of poker's most popular variants, but a lot of recreational players are a bit intimidated to try it. That's a shame because it's surprisingly simple to learn. For those who don't know how to play, we encourage you to check out the nuances in PokerNews' Rules Section.

Here's a sample on bluffing in PLO, which may come in handy when following today's coverage:

Because Omaha is so focused on the nuts, it seems like an easy game to bluff. A player can represent a wider range of hands in Omaha, and also open up their game a bit more with many more semi-bluffs available. The more you learn about the game, the easy it will become to pick up on these spots and determine how to proceed against various opponents.

It is in this regard that "blockers" also become much more prevalent in Omaha than in Texas hold'em. Blockers are those cards you hold in your hand that prevent an opponent from making a specific hand. For example, if a board reads {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and you hold the {a-Spades} in your hand but no other spades, you may not have a flush, you you know your opponent cannot make the nut flush. This gives you added power in the hand being able to push your opponent off certain hands as he is guaranteed to not contain the nuts.

Tomorrow the 2013 World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event will kick off. The PokerNews Live Reporting Team certainly can't believe the premiere event is upon us, but before we devote our attention to that tournament, we have one more to kick off tonight—Event #61:$10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha.

Last year, this event drew 293 runners and saw Germany's Jan-Peter Jachtmann take down the title and $661,000 first-place prize. He defeated a final table that included Andrew Brown (2nd - $408,393), Steven Silverman (3rd - $299,960), Micah Smith (4th - $222,044), Andy Seth (5th - $165,665), Benjamin Sage (6th - $124,600), Nikolai Yakovenko (7th - $94,442) and Jason Mercier (8th - $72,132).

As you can tell, this event has been a favorite among top professional for years. Back in 2011, Ben Lamb topped a field of 361 players on his way to becoming the 2011 WSOP Player of the Year. The year before that, Daniel Alaei bested 345 other players to win the title and the $780,599 first-place prize. Other past champs include 2009's Matt Graham, who beat Vitaly Lunkin in heads-up play to win $679,379); and 2008's Marty Smyth, who bested 381 competitors to win his first gold bracelet and $859,532 in prize money.
