WSOP 2010 Day 19 – no bracelet winners today

Day 19 of the
2010 WSOP was one that saw no bracelets awarded and final tables played. Despite that fact, the action was plentiful as several events kept rolling towards a conclusion.
Event #24, the $1,000 NL Holdem Special, saw the final table set on day 19. Day 3 of the said event was an extremely short one. The final table was set after a painful mistake by Alexis-Belanger Lebel who thought that no one was all-in in front of him and pushed all his chips into the middle on a K,2o when the action was folded around to him. In fact, Blake Kelso had gone all-in already holding pocket Js, and he found no difficulty in sending Lebel to the rail in the unenviable position of final table bubble-boy.
J.D. McNamara finished the day with the largest stack of chips.
The $2,500 short-handed
NL Holdem event (#26) had its day 2. 10 blind levels were logged by the surviving field, at the end of which only 15 players remained. Steve Cowley is the player who will begin Day 3 behind the largest stack of chips. He had an excellent Day 2 run and chipped up quite constantly through the day. Erik Cajelais and Justin Smith will also return to action on Day 3.
Sorel Mizzi and Annette Obrestad both hit the rail on day 2.
Event #27, the $1,500 7-Card Stud Hi/Low Split 8 or better one, continued along at a snail’s pace on day 2. 23 players remained in contention after 12 hours of play.
Event #28, the 2,500 PLO one, was a much more alert affair. 105 players survived day 1, but with the money bubble set for 54th place, many of these guys will still leave the poker tournament with the proverbial wooden spoon. JC Tran was eliminated on Day 1, together with Tom Dwan, whose increasingly desperate quest for a WSOP bracelet suffered yet another small setback. Erik Seidel was sent to the rail as well.
Event #29, the $10,000 Limit Holdem World Championship event, saw the emergence of a more than familiar face. Jeffrey Lisandro finished day 1 with the chip lead, ahead of Brett Richey and Hoyt Corkins. He will lead a field of 107 players into day 2. Vladimir Schmelev and Shaun Deeb are among the survivors as well.
Daniel Negreanu continued his less than stellar WSOP run, adding yet another early elimination to his 2010 tally. Terrence Chan, considered the best Limit Holdem player in the world by many, was also eliminated towards the end of the day.
