From 27
down to the final Nine.
See Current chips and payout
schedule for final Nine.
No poker playing at the Rio today just
interviews. I heard the tables are being broken down and the final table will
be surrounded by seats on four sides like a boxing ring. I thought they might
just tell spectators to go to their rooms and watch it on pay per view.
A press conference is scheduled for 12:30pm and I think, since it is
the last day and media are being forced to watch from the media room, Jeffrey
Pollack (Commissioner of World Series of Poker) will receive some critical
comments during the conference.
It is also final table day at the
Bellagio. The winner there will receive $960k and no publicity!
Shannon
Shorr (21 year old professional poker player and University of Alabama Civil
Engineering student - apparently), who cashed three times during the WSOP, has
the chip lead. Michael Andersson (8th 2004 WSOP Championship), a Scandanavian,
is second. They tried to play the event six handed to eliminate the short
stacks faster but the players complained and we reverted to a traditional ten
man table.
The general feeling here is that Jaimie
Gold has been lucky in the WSOP Championship and if it turns into a poker
game Allen Cunningham will win.
On a sad
note Paul Hannum ,who was an ESPN photographer then moved to the WPT circuit,
died after his appendix burst.
