Tuesday was a disappointing day for Full Tilt pros at the final table, but Wednesday promises several more opportunities for bracelets. Still, it was John Juanda’s third final table and Fabrice Soulier’s fifth cash of the 2009 World Series.

Johnny Chan fell short in his bid for bracelet no. 11, in the Heads-Up Championship. In the PLO, John Juanda is still in the hunt for no. 5, but he is the short stack at the final table. Ross Boatman, the chip leader, is closing in on his first bracelet. Fabrice Soulier, likewise, is the chip leader going into the third day of the $1,500 HORSE.

The PLOEOB proved lucrative for Full Tilt pros, with Roland De Wolfe winning his first World Series bracelet, Scott Clements finishing third, and Andy Black taking sixth. Among today’s events, Day 2 of the PLO should be particularly exciting for Tilt fans, as a number of big names are in position on Moving Day.

Last night, Roland De Wolfe won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha Eight or Better, a form of poker he admits having never played before. Based on an evening I spent with Roland last week – an account of which will appear in the Blog in the next few days – I know he has an almost unlimited amount of gamble in him. He now has, in addition to his WPT and EPT championships, a World Series gold bracelet.
Well done Roland. And well deserved.

I started my coverage of last year’s single-table satellite season at the WSOP with the following recommendation:
The point of the story I am going to tell is this: Get the fuck to Las Vegas as soon as you can. Quit Full Tilt. Throw your computer in a dumpster. Cut off your girlfriend’s arm and sell the rings off the fingers. Do whatever you can to get to the World Series of Poker …. The opportunities provided in the satellite room are so lucrative as to justify any sort of mayhem necessary to get your ass there.
I will start this year’s satellite coverage with a shorter, more urgent message: Why aren’t you here yet? Hurry!

Nick Schulman became the third Full Tilt pro to win a bracelet in the 2009 World Series of Poker when he took down the $10,000 No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven World Championship.
My quest for not only my first bracelet but to end my interminable cashless streak at the WSOP ended in ignominy yesterday, just short of the money in the $2,500 OEOB/SEOB. But that gives me more time today to catch up on writing and … play poker online.

Sadly, Erik Seidel did not succeed in his first shot at bracelet no. 9. He finished seventh in the $1,500 PLHE. Today, John Juanda goes for his fifth bracelet in the Deuce-to-Seven Championship and Roland De Wolfe, as the short stack, is trying to hold on and nudge his way back into contention. I’m bringing up the rear of the large contingent of Full Tilt pros on Day 2 of the $2,500 OEOB/SEOB.
