Martins Adeniya Ninth in Event #26: $2,500 No Limit Hold’em 6-Handed

Martins Adeniya of London fell short of the final table in event #26: $2,500 No Limit Hold’em 6-Handed, eliminated in ninth place for $40,547.

The former city trader started day three in third chip lead. But following a bad start to the day, his luck turned sour. In prime position to double up with just nine remaining, Adeniya found action with his Hiltons (pocket queens). Pre flop, Adeniya raised to 63,000. Javier Etayo made it 177,000 to go. Adeniya reraised all in for 551,000 and Etayo made the call.

Etayo showed pocket 10s to Adeniya’s ladies.

James Dempsey Wins WSOP Event #9 $1,500 PL Hold’em

James ‘Flushy’ Dempsey of Brighton has won the $1,500 Pot Limit Hold’em at the World Series Of Poker in Las Vegas, taking down $197,470 and winning Britain’s second bracelet of the 2010 WSOP.

Dempsey’s win means the $1,500 PLH has been won by a Briton two years in a row, after JP Kelly’s victory last year.

Despite arriving late on Day 1, Dempsey finished the day in chip lead. He held the lead until the end of Day 2 when his eventual heads up opponent Steve Chanthabouasy took control, going into the final table just 5000 in front of Dempsey.

As the final table formed, God Save The Queen was playing for Praz Bansi’s bracelet ceremony, an omen for what was to come.

Andreas Høivold: Første WSOP blogg – Stang ut!

Vi gjengir her Andreas Høivolds egen blogg som vi har hentet fra hans facebook sider.

Siden sist så har WSOP kommet i gang. Jeg var supergira før start og jeg hadde stor tro på resultater! Jeg begynte WSOP med å spille satellitt til “Player’s Championship”, en turnering med 8 forskjellige spill og med innkjøp 50.000 dollar. Innkjøp i satellitten var 2250 dollar, så det var ikke alt for galt. Det var 36 spillere til start i turneringen, noe som ga ett sete pluss ca 30k dollar til andre plassen. Med i satellitten var blant andre Thor Hansen.

WSOP 2010 – resultater fra eventene #6 til #8

Amerikaneren Joshua Tieman gjorde rent bord på finalebordet i Event #6 $5.000 No Limit Holdem Shootout og vant sitt første WSOP Bracelet. Heads up slo han den ikke helt ukjente Neil Channing.

358 spillere stilte til start i den første shootout-turneringen i årets WSOP, noe som genererte en førstepremie på $441.692.

WSOP Update: Mizrachi Again? The Grinder Leads $10k 7-Card-Stud

Hot on the heels of his $50,000 Players Championship victory, Michael Mizrachi is perfectly positioned to pick up his second bracelet of the 2010 WSOP in the $10,000 7 Card Stud event.

Mizrachi, known as “The Grinder”, is chip leading the tournament into Day 2. In his current form you wouldn’t bet against him claiming his second braceket within a week but in close pursuit is Players Championship runner up Vladimir Schmelev. Schmelev, interestingly, is second in the chip counts and should these two heavyweights make the heads up stages again we could be set for a fascinating tussle.

PNH Review: Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club

The first, fully licensed, poker club in the UK has been open for several years now. Dusk Till Dawn, situated on an retail park near Nottingham, offers British poker players a dedicated poker experience which is void of the usual casino table game trappings.

From the outside the club is an impressive sight. As big as, or bigger than, most of the UK’s casinos. Inside, beyond the small reception area, sits an impressive number of poker tables set over three “layers”.

The club has recently introduced some slots machines and electronic roulette machines, due to highly publicised financial difficulties. They don’t detract from the main reason you’re at DTD, though. Poker!
