They’re heading into Day 2 of the second event of the 2009 World Series of Poker Europe and a Tilter is leading the way as they head towards the money. Only 158 players put down the £2,500 for the mixed Pot Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha tournament but they only dropped down to 24 players, with 18 of those making the money. Eric Cajelais will bring his intimidation back to play down to a winner. Cajelias is sitting with 145,000, also alive are Team Full Tilt are Howard Lederer and Vitaly Lunkin. Men Nguyen, Allie Prescott, and Hoyt Corkins are also in contention.
Here at The Borgata I am spending my time watching a bunch of grinder fight their way through to make the $925,000 payday along with the televised WPT final table. Getting down close the bubble we had two big Full Tilt pros battling it out against each other and entertaining the rail in the process. Bill Gazes joined the table with Gavin Smith and local poker legend “Joey the B” Brooks right up against the rail and things were entertaining. Until just before the dinner break. Smith and Gazes were both sitting with decent size stack when Smith 3-bet the preflop raise of Gazes. Push, call, and all the chips were in the middle with Smith holding AA and Gazes a lowly little pair of 6’s. No sweating involved as a 6 was waiting in the door.
Day 3 of the WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship where they’ll make the money and play down to 27. Still kicking around in the event we have Bill Gazes, Steve Brecher, Mike “GoLeafsGoEh” Leah, Justin “TooRoothlus” Levy (brother of “Roothlus), Kathy Liebert, Matt Brady, Michael Binger, Chris Reslock, and Lee Childs.

2009 World Series of Poker – Day 2b Pictures
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
I’m not sure if it’s me or the room, but things are dragging a bit in the Amazon Room today. I’m sure it’s me and a bunch of players I saw out and about last evening. I was super sneaking and crashed a competitor’s WSOP party last evening, it was my little contribution to the effort as I attempted to their players to stay up late and enjoy too much liquid entertainment.
This was after destroying their team in the Dream Team Poker Media Charity tournament. I didn’t do so much destroying, it was actually my teammates since I was the first out for our team.
These are the things I bring to the team.
As it stands, we’re down to just above 1300 players as we kick into Level 12 of the Main Event. That means just roughly over half the remaining players will have a disappointing walk home while the rest will cash at the cages. Phil Ivey was moved right along the rail near the door and is getting himself a lot of attention from fans and the ESPN cameras. Causing even more congestion on the rail is legendary Phil Hellmuth at the very next table. Ivey has been chipping up throughout the day and is continuing his hot run with around 430,000 at this time.
Less talking and more pictures. These are some pictures from Day 2b when several FTP pros made a run. The first picture is of the aforementioned Phil Ivey with our favorite Amazon Room masseuse, Sugar Lips. That’s the name she goes by, don’t blame me. The rest of the pictures after the jump.
