2009 World Series of Poker Day 29 – Day of the Blogger?

Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail

It’s been a crazy few days with so many chances for Team Full Tilt to add to their riches. Last night was Jon “Pearljammer” Turner’s chance in the $2,500 Mixed Event but fell short in 5th place. Combined with Vitaly Lunkin finishing second in the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha final table and several Tilters just missing the $5,000 Shootout finals, Team Full Tilt is pushing to add some more prizes before the Main Event rolls around in a few weeks.

Fellow blogger Michael Craig is the latest chance for the red letter FTP players. He enters Day 3 of the $2,500 Razz tournament. He sits 8th out of the remaining 13 and plenty of tough players to deal with. Two of the top Player of the Year candidates sit in the field, Jeff Lisandro and Ville Wahlbeck. I’ll be sweating his action the entire day as he tries to win one for Full Tilt and for bloggers everywhere.

The Senior’s Event will play down to their winner today…..

Toto Leonidas and David “The Dragon” Pham lead the Full Tilt players into Day 2 of the Pot Limit Hold’em World Championship. 85 of the original 275 remain with 27 players getting paid. The winner received 2/3rds of a million dollars. Play resumes in the orange section of the Amazon Room.

Only one new tournament is kicking off today, the $2,500 Mixed Hold’em (alternate between No Limit and Limit Hold’em). We’re slowing making our way towards the big $50,000 HORSE event on Friday which is just a gateway to the Main Event and a new World Champion.
