WSOP 2007 Coverage

Da ich in diesem Jahr selbst nicht dabei sein kann, ich bin ja auch noch viel zu unerfahren und hab ein zu kleines Bankroll für so einen Event (vielleicht in 2-3 Jahren mal) hab ich mich entschlossen ein bischen Berichterstattung hier im Blog über die WSOP 2007 zu machen.

Event #3 NL $1500

Ciarin O'Leary Wins Event #3 ($727,012)
Hand #59 - Paul Evans has the button, he limps for 120,000, and O'Leary checks his option. The flop comes {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}. O'Leary checks, Evans bets 500,000, O'Leary moves all in, and Evans immediately calls with {6-Spades}{3-Spades} for a pair of sixes. O'Leary shows {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and leads with a pair of kings. Evans needs to catch a six, a three, or something runner-runner to stay alive.
The turn card is the {K-Spades}, and O'Leary hits trip kings while Evans picks up a flush draw. He needs a spade that doesn't pair the board to survive.
The river card is the {9-Diamonds}, and Paul Evans is eliminated in second place, earning $450,150.

Bei diesem Event tauchte auch der erste Deutsche an einem Final Table auf, es handelte sich um Andreas Krause. Er schied als 6th aus.

Andreas Krause Eliminated in 6th Place ($94,122)
Hand #44 - Andreas Krause has the button in seat 4, he moves all in, and Evans calls from the small blind with {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Krause shows {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.
The flop comes {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, and Evans solidifes his lead with a pair of aces. Krause needs something runner-runner to survive.
The turn card is the {8-Clubs}, the river card is the {K-Clubs}, and Evans wins the pot to eliminate Andreas Krause in sixth place, earning $94,122.

Event #1 Mixed $5000
Der Mixed Event der über das Wochenende lief (abwechselnd Limit und NL alle 30 Minuten) wurde von Steve Billirakis gewonnen. Er ist der jüngste Spieler mit 21 Jahren und 10 Tagen der ein Bracelet erringen konnte. Dieser Rekord wurde nun schon das vierte Jahr in folge gebrochen.

Steve Billirakis Wins Event #1 ($536,287)
Hand #157 - (Limit) Greg 'FBT' Mueller has the button. He raises to 200,000, Billirakis reraises to 300,000, Mueller goes all in for 325,000, and Billirakis calls with {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Mueller shows {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.
The flop comes {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Billirakis pairs his deuce to retain the lead. The turn card is the {8-Hearts}, and Mueller needs a five or a four on the river to survive.
The river card is the {Q-Spades}, and Greg 'FBT' Mueller is eliminated in second place, earning $328,554.
