WSOP 2010 November Nine – those who didn’t make it
Posted by: James Carter. - Mon, 2010-07-19 16:25
As soon as day 8 of the
2010 WSOP Main Event kicked off, it was clear it would be different from previous days. This one would be all business and the highest level at that. The first victim of the day was none other than Team
PokerStars’ Johnny Lodden. The Norwegian got it all into the middle holding pocket 8s against Matt Affleck’s A,10. Affleck then proceeded to hit a pair of 10s on the board for the win.
Matthew Bucaric followed Lodden to the rail. The 25 year old from Tennessee staked his poker tournament life onto a pair of 9s he’d picked up. He got looked up by Filippo Candio after a flop which gave the Italian a 4-card flush. Candio them proceeded to hit his flush on the turn.
Mads Wissing was the one who fell next, followed by Ronnie Bardah of MA. Bardah took home around $300k for his efforts.
Robert Pisano exited next. He was the player to “blame” for Johnny Chan’s elimination earlier in the tournament.
William Thorson’s elimination in 23rd place was a rather plain one. He picked up a 10d, Jd and shoved all-in, to be called by John Dolan who had picked up pocket Ks. The board didn’t improve either hand involved and Thorson was bounced.
Redmond Lee from London was the next one to exit. He was followed to the payout booth by Patrick Eskandar. Michiel Sijpkens’ elimination meant that the surviving field could be condensed to two tables. The
poker tournament was Sijpkens’ first ever and considering that, he was probably quite delighted to end up in 19th. Still, 9 more players needed to go before the survivors could have their chips bagged for the November final table.
