WSOP 2010 Day 35 – Terrence Chan looking for #1

Event #51, the $3,000 Triple Chance NL Holdem one was responsible for creating the sole bracelet winner on Day 35 of the
2010 WSOP. Ryan Welch was the one to walk away with the goods in that event, after besting John Eaton heads-up.
Eaton’s last good move in the poker tournament was Guillaume Darcourt’s elimination in 3rd place. From there on, it was all downhill for him. Even though he started the heads-up stage with the larger stack, he slowly saw the initiative shift to Welch. In the final hand of the event, Welch shoved all-in on a board of 9,7,6,10,K with Q,J. Eaton made the call and the tournament was over.
Event #52, the $25k 6-handed NL Holdem one, featured some top class competition. Nothing illustrates the quality of the field better than the fact that Team
PokerStars member Daniel Negreanu, Frank Kassela, Isaac Haxton, Justin Bonomo, Eugene Katchalov, Abe Mosseri, Carlos Mortensen and Bryn Kenney are all among the 18 survivors who made it through day 3.
John Juanda would’ve been there as well, had he not become the bubble boy of the event. Having picked up a K,Jo, Juanda shoved all in against Bryan Hodhod’s A,Jo. The board brought an A and Juanda was out on the money bubble.
Event #53, the $1,500 Limit Holdem Shootout, rolled along at its usually alert pace. Only 8 players remained in contention at the end of the day, making up the final table of the event. Terrence Chan won his second table of the event, and so did Jonathan Little and Joseph McGowan, together with 6 other guys. Chan, who is known to be one of the best Limit Holdem players around, will probably have all eyes on him at the final table.
Event #54, another $1,000 NL Holdem Special, got going on Day 35. A massive starting field showed up again for the first day 1 flight of the event, and eliminations came about at the usually fast pace. James Dempsey managed to put in another stellar performance to finish the day with the chip lead, while
Full Tilt Poker Pro Tom Dwan bowed out during the first level of play to lose yet another chance at a more than coveted WSOP bracelet.
350 players turned up for day 1 of the $10,000 PLO World Championship event. Antonio Paino was the one who managed to top the star-studded field at the end of the day. Tom Dwan did well in this event too, and he will have a healthy stack to return to on Day 2.
