Day 3 at the World Series of Poker is always one of my favorite. It’s the first day when the entire field is together, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel with the breaking of each table. Unlike the rest of the summer, when they break a table here it stays broke. Crews quickly pile the chairs on the hand carts and take apart the table. Never to be used again.
Everyone knows the front runners and the short stacks. The pros are trying to position themselves for bubble time tomorrow by building their stacks to punish the fearful. Scared money players are looking at their stacks while trying to figure if they can make it, crawling and scraping, to a WSOP min-cash.
ESPN is back in full force (coincidentally destroying wifi access for the media) with camera bullying their way between the tables looking for money shot. Players will “Hollywood” as soon as the crews find the table, not realizing sitting for 10 minutes and then folding will not get them on the broadcast.
Plenty of big names remain in the field at the start of play. 2011 WSOP bracelet winner Ben “benba” Lamb is pacing the field with over 550,000 in chips followed by Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul and Ryan “g0lfa” D’Angelo also in the Top 5. The top lady standing is Stephanie Albertini with a very healthy 400,100 in chips. Patrik Antonius, Jeff Madsen, and 2010 November Niner Joseph Cheong will be in contention tomorrow unless they run into some horrid luck.
In all we will see just shy of 1,900 player start today with them busting out at a fairly decent pace. They’ll break every table out of the Pavilion Room until we are just left with an Amazon Room containing the next poker world champion.
Check back for regular updates.
Top chipstack to start Day 3:
1 – Ben “benba” Lamb – 551,600
2 – Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul – 542,200
3 – Aleksandr Mozhnyakov – 478,600
4 – Ryan “g0lfa” D’Angelo – 462,300
5 – Tuan Vo – 434,500
6 – Guillaume Darcourt – 410,500
7 – Nicolas Fierro – 405,000
8 – Narenda Banwari – 404,800
9 – Stephanie Albertini – 400,100
10 – Dong Yang Yan – 383,400
Other notables: Patrik Antonius (361,000), Mike “SowerUNCC” Sowers (347,700), Sam Simon (317,900), Shaun “tedsfishfry” Deeb (294,700), Mark “dipthrong” Herm (273,000), Sam Stein (262,200), Justin “BoostedJ” Bonomo (252,400), Jeff Madsen (231,500), Joseph “subiime” Cheong (229,100), David Oppenheim (226,000), Paul “paulgees81″ Volpe (221,5000)
Level 12:
Shaun Deeb is an interesting character. For the longest time he was considered one of the best online tournament players around, then he “retired” for a year, before returning with full force. He once played the Ladies Event in drag complete with pink tank top and makeup. He’s unpredictable at the poker table which can cause players to call him very light when they have no idea what he is playing. Usually this helps him pull in big stacks but sometimes Mother Variance bites back.
Deeb was pulled to the ESPN feature table for taping and a 30-minute delayed live feed. As is normal, he was making moves and building a stack until another player 5-bet shoved on him with A6. Generally there might be a chance his Ace is good but in this instant he was snap called by Deeb with pocket Aces.
But sometimes bad things happen and unless you have your opponent drawing completely dead, there is always a chance. His opponent saw a light in the window with a flopped 6 and then it blew up the Mothership with the rivered 6-ball. That knocked Deeb all the way down to 20,000 and sure fire bad beat hand on the TV.
Level 13:
The most interesting hand of this level happened before my very eyes as I walked the room. I happened upon a table where player in seat 7 was already in the tank for several minutes. I didn’t detect excessive acting, he certainly looked like a man having to make a hard decision. The ESPN cameras appeared and the opponent who had put him all-in sat stone faced.
The 7-seat eventually folded saying “I’ll never fold this hand again but I think you have AA” as his pocket kings were flipped over. Players were shocked and stunned. The winner began sliding his hand into the muck when Freddy Deeb talked him into showing for the camera. He nodded towards the dealer who turned over his pocket Aces for all the world to see at some point during the broadcast.
Some notable stacks around the room:
Chris “boNeZee” Bonita – 465,000
Peter Jetten – 405,000
Sam Simon – 390,000
Joseph Cheong – 335,000
Mark “dipthrong” Herm – 300,000
Thomas Keller – 270,000
Jason Alexander – 245,000
Phil “USCPhildo” Collins – 240,000
Jean-Robert Bellande – 233,000
Miami John Cernuto – 230,000
Level 14:
Today brought one of the oddities of the Main Event when the two hour dinner break came in the middle of Level 13, extending into the evening. Staff locked down the Amazon Room and it was odd moment of quiet. Just 15 tables remained in the Pavilion Room during the break and only four remain at the end of Level 13. Although it’s a long shot, they might actually make the money this evening with some vibrant action.
Huck Seed was one of the big elimination over the last level when his Queens could not dodge a flush draw. Annette Obrestad was eliminated almost immediately after the dinner break but she was short stacked. Shuan Deeb’s mini-stack didn’t last long after his bad beat earlier in the day becoming another big name on the rail. 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe Cada has also been shown the door along with Carlos Mortensen, Tom McEvoy, and Lee Watkinson.
New Yorker Patrick Poirier became the first player in the Main Event to eclipse the million chip mark giving him only 333 big blinds. Chris “boNeZee” Bonita continues to contend as the field shrinks picking up a new of big pots along the way. Also sitting near the top of the table are Kevin Saul, Blair Hinkle, Ben Lamb, Shannon Shorr, and Joseph Cheong.
Just one more level before play concludes for the day. Doubtful we’ll knock out enough to hit the money bubble but we’ll get to see the joys of that moment early on Day 4.

It’s one of the standard conversations which always come up during the World Series of Poker. Who’s the best player to not have captured their first bracelet? Mr. McCarthy and myself were just sitting on media row yesterday bouncing names back and forth with the usual suspect always in the mix, Team Full Tilt member Andy Bloch. He is one of the most successful tournament players in the world but has yet to find himself as the last player standing at the end of a WSOP event. His efforts include two high profile second place finishes where he was the favorite going into heads up play.
Regular guest blogger “Tuscaloosa” Johnny sent along his thoughts on ten high-profile players coming into the summer still aiming for their first title. Interesting that he lists Michael Mizrachi in his post as “The Grinder” will sit at the $50,000 Player’s Championshp final table later today.
Best players without a WSOP bracelet
By “Tuscaloosa” Johnny Kampis
Erick Lindgren, Kenny Tran, Nenad Medic, Dario Minieri, John Phan. Know what all of these players have in common? They all won their first World Series of Poker bracelets in recent years. These players were lucky enough to achieve their first victories in the Rio, but there are plenty of deserving pros who haven’t tasted WSOP glory yet. Here are ten pros that are due:

Before I started blogging here at Poker from the Rail, Full Tilt gave me some data about their web traffic so that I’d have a better idea of what everyone likes to read. This included a list of all the google searches that led people to Poker from the Rail or Michael Craig’s blog. Here’s what I learned from some of the weirder search terms:
Team Full Tilt’s youngest pro is not only smart, handsome and charming – he might be immortal:
tom dwan girlfriend, pics of durrrr’s girlfriend, tom dwan roommate, tom dwan boyfrnd, tom dwan lamborghini, is tom dwan a vampire?
*
Durrrr isn’t the only Team Full Tilt pro fans are personally interested in:
gus hansen ladies man, patrik antonius girlfriend, what does jennifer harman look for in a guy, erick lindgren on women, how tall is mike matusow, phil ivey naked fish
*
Maybe Full Tilt should create some new avatars:
cartoon cleavage, ftp and porn, women with whips, full tilt sex, images of women with whips, my first girlfriend movie
*
Poker is not an easy game (for most people):
i suck at poker, you suck at poker, is phil ivey a donk, i am the lord of poker
*
Full Tilt’s blogs: a great source of information if you cross paths with a Mediterranean gypsy, fall ill, wind up in Hell, return to earth for an apocalyptic showdown with Good, and then have to reclaim your possessions in probate court:

Looking back on 2009, one of the top stories was the emergence of the extreme limit cash games on Full Tilt Poker. Never has online poker seen games spread at such levels, so high only a tiny percentage could even imagine joining the games but they consumed both players and railbirds throughout the year.
Things really began exploding with the “durrrr Challenge” announcement in which Tom Dwan offered to take on any player in 50,000 hands of Pot Limit Omaha. He put up $1,500,000 of his money versus just $500,000 of his opponent. Patrik Antonius was the first take up the challenge and the year of big stakes online poker was underway. Progress in the heads up battle would slow down as bigger, juicier games began popping up. Games playing bigger than their $200/$400 stakes, neither could pass up the opportunity to shred through stacks of dead money playing larger than realistic.
Soon it was common to see a table of players tossing around stacks on the $500/$1,000 Pot Limit Omaha or the $2,000/$4,000 mix games. Action moved into the upper reaches of sanity where only the deeply rolled would consider taking a seat. The record for biggest pot was broken several times during the year but this was just the opening act to the last few months of 2009. The entrance (and exit?) of online legend Isildur1 into the world’s biggest online poker games.
The unknown Finnish player burst onto the scene and sparked interest in high-limit poker not seen since Andy Beal took on The Corporation. Twitter would go all a-tweet whenever Isildur1 would sit at the biggest tables, the poker media would dedicate several articles per week to the action, the forums did exactly what forums do in general by sending a flock of railbirds to witness the destruction. He went on an incredible heater tearing through the bankroll of the newly minted Team Full Tilt member Tom Dwan. Within no time at all, Isildur1 was involved in ten of the biggest hands in online poker history including the only 2 pots over $1,000,000. (You can watch Phil Gordon and Patrik Antonius discuss hands here)
Isildur1 seems to have only made one mistake, he followed the big bankrolls from the No Limit Hold’em games to Pot Limit Omaha. He was a massive winner at NLHE but PLO would eventually see him get felted and the world awaits his return. There are several rumors floating around about him building up a roll for another run or even getting a stake from crazy man Tony G.
With the start of the new year, several publications have gone over the raw numbers to determine the top winners and losers in the online cash games. My favorite writeup of the bunch comes from “friend of the blog” Nicole Gordon (aka Change100) on PokerNews.com. “The Online Railbird Report: 2009’s High-Stakes Winners and Losers” breaks down the action. It’s nearly impossible for the casual poker player to fathom the staggering swings and numbers these players deal have at stake.
When the history of online poker is written, 2009 will be remembered as the year the action on Full Tilt Poker’s high-stakes cash tables exploded, as $500/$1,000 pot-limit Omaha became the game of choice and pot sizes soared into the millions for the first time.
While the “durrrr” Challenge grabbed headlines during the first half of the year, and Ashton “theASHMAN103” Griffin’s $3.6 million run was a summer highlight, the fourth-quarter emergence of “Isildur1” at the nosebleed stakes was by far online poker’s dominant 2009 story.
She ran the numbers and brings you the top ten winners and losers. Here are your big winners, you can find the breakdown and losers here.
1. Patrik Antonius – $8,973,946
2. Phil Ivey – $6,337,702
3. Brian Hastings – $4,731,848
4. Ashton “theASHMAN103” Griffin – $3,640,000
5. Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies – $3,060,680
6. Hac “trex313″ Dang – $2,641,250
7. Brian Townsend – $2,400,819
8. Rafi “howisitfeellike” Amit – $2,235,756
9. Cole South – $2,128,686
10. Mark Vos – $2,101,161
Here’s hoping things will continue to amaze during 2010.

This weekend was already destined to have more huge action then usual with the $25k Heads-Up PLO World Championship running in addition to the regular slate of Sunday Majors. On top of all the scheduled action, most of the poker world now knows about the spectacle going down on the HIGH limit cash tables on Full Tilt. Isildur1 spent the entire week make news on an almost daily basis but shifting insane amounts of money back and forth across the virtual felt. The Swede has already pushed around some of the top online players, participate in the biggest ever online pot on Wednesday, and gave back quite a few after that. It’s not very often you see something for the first time, Saturday it happened.
It was only a matter of time at these elevated levels that we would finally see a 7-digit online pot, it finally happened Saturday evening setting the poker forums, blogs, and tweeters (?) into a frenzy. With nearly $2,000,000 sitting on the table between Patrik Antonius and Isildur1 all the pieces were in place to witness history. There was $162,000 in the pot before the players saw the 4s 5c 2h flop and then things went nutty. It only took a few re-pots before Isildur1 was all-in for his final $597,000 as a slight underdog. Antonius flopped the wheel but Isildur1 was holding a ton of out. The 5h on the turn did him no favors and he didn’t hit one of his final 9 outs on the river.
The $1,356,946.50 pot was shipped across to Antonius. Online poker’s largest and first million dollar cash game pot.
The action would go well into the evening with pots in the high 6-digits becoming commonplace and the swings mind boggling. By most online calculations it seems that Isildur1 gave back nearly $2.7million to both Patrick Antonius and Phil Ivey. The session came to an abrupt end right after Phil Ivey smacked him on the nose for almost $1.5million within moments. Screen printed below for your enjoyment, click to enlarge.
35 players put down a cool $25,000 earlier in the day for a chance at the Heads-Up PLO World Championship including Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Andy_Bloch and the enigmatic Isildur1. Phil Ivey let the Swedish player know that he put a little side wager down on his victory, getting 10-1 on his money. None of the Full Tilt pros would feature in the final payouts with Cole South and Justin “Boosted J” Smith coming up one victory short. After a HU chop, World Series of Poker bracelet winner Andrew “Browndog19″ Brown would add this tournament to his resume.
All this action around the tables also generated plenty of available prizepool money in the Big Money Sunday tournaments. $1.9 million was on the line between The Sunday Brawl, Double Deuce, $750k Guarantee, and The Sunday Mulligan. “roddiass” was the big winner of the evening collecting $114,743.18 after a 3-way chop followed by “pytcheye1111″ ($108,726.80 in the Sunday Brawl) and “zavor4ik” ($107,757.59 in the $750k Guarantee).
Action continues Monday evening with the obviously named “$1K Monday” tournament, railbirds should also keep one eye on the high limit cash game tables. You never know when the next “biggest pot in history” will occur.
Tournament final table results after the jump, as well as my unfortunate exit from Michael Craig’s “Relay for Life” charity tournament.

In all the excitement of the November Nine, FTOPS XIV, and the Isildur1 cash game craziness I completely lost track of the upcoming $25k Heads-Up PLO World Championship.
In addition to the standard Big Money Sunday games, today at 15:00ET brings a tournament that will feature most of the top players from the online and live poker world. The buyin alone will narrow the field to the best players in Pot Limit Omaha, the game which has quickly taken over as the HU game for those risking huge swings. Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius are already registered and it’s only a matter of time before newly minted member Tom “durrrr” Dwan is in the field. You’ll find Andy Bloch and Erik Seidel signed up as well as “Annette_15″ Obrestad and crazy man Tony G. It wouldn’t be a high stakes Heads-Up these days if you didn’t see Isildur1 registered for the tournament.
The field will be capped at 64 and we halfway there. Full Tilt continues to run satellites for this incredible event, chances to win yourself on “the cheap”. The tournament ID is 116764959, the satellites are listed in the lobby. I will be surprised if it does not fill before the start leaving a small number of players shooting for part of the $1,600,000 prizepool.
I will be there along the rail to catch and report that action. Look for updates.

Patrik Antonius" width="250" />
I was minding my own business after a casual day of live cash games/drinking when my trusty wifi-enabled communication devices began chirping and chiming away. Everyone who knew of my associate with The Tilt began texting and twittering about the cash games blowing up with huge pots, all the big game grinders were getting their “two cents” involved. Pot Limit Omaha, No Limit Hold’em, and the 7-Game Mix table were packed with obscene amounts of honest-to-god real money cash that are unimaginable to the vast majority of the poker world. There are many huge poker players who won’t go near these levels.
I did what a respectable member of the poker community would do, especially one whose charter involves keeping an eye on the big games and big names. I found a way to fire up the Full Tilt Poker software and witness some of the craziness for myself. I found all the action spread across several different lobbies with the largest games being found in PLO and 7-game involving Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine, Brian Townsend, Cole South and Abe “EazyPeazy” Mosseri. Notably absent was new Tilter Tom “durrrr” Dwan who was in London preparing for, and playing in, his “durrrr Million Dollar Challenge”. The Challenge didn’t stop Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies from taking time from his preparations to get in a little action.
Most notably involved was the mysterious Isildur1, it seems all we can figure out about this player is that he’s from Sweden and he’s got a bit of the gamble in him. Isildur1 was a regular in the higher stakes but came out of the blue to blast away at the very highest levels running against those accustomed to the rarefied air. Before Dwan hopped a plane across the pond it was reported the Isildur1 came in an relieved his bankroll of over $3,000,000. His name has been mentioned by every outlet that covers poker and the race is on to find out his/her real identity. Dwan even went so far as to issue a challenge for him to become part of the Live Heads Up matches in London. Isildur1′s lack of response was his decline.
I have a habit of saying “Mother Variance is a right bitch” to just about anyone who brags about huge gains over a short amount of time, well that seems to have jumped up and bit poor Isildur1 a little over the last few nights. Patrik Antonius is not the player you want to run into when it’s your time to give a little back. Not only did Antonius give him a smack on the nose, he popped Isildur1 for the biggest pot in online poker history.
In all the bouncing around I actually managed to miss everything go down but my good friends over at PokerNews.com caught it all. Without digging into the forensic details of the hand, I’ll just tell you that Antonius and Isildur1 had all the money in on the turn with a chop the most likely outcome. Antonius hit one of his ten outs on the river and dragged the new record pot of $878,958.50. That is not your standard home game pot. For the full details of the hand (until I can finally get the hand replayer pasted into this spot), you can check out the PokerNews.com writeup.
That wasn’t the end of the beatdown for Isildur1 as Brian Townsend and Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies also stepped up over the last few days trying to take a piece out of his bankroll. Dwan must be licking his chops in London, wanting to get back online and reclaim what was once his. It will be interesting to see how long Isildur1 can hang at these levels, he’s been getting chippy in the chat the last few days and it may doing a number on him already. These tables have been running each evening and are definitely worth checking out for pure entertainment value.
~
In Durrrr Million Dollar Challenge news, Dwan is currently 1 for 2 in his battle. He is playing three 12 hours Heads Up matches against Marcello “Luckexpress” Marigliano, Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and Sammy George at $500/$1000 PLO or NLHE. No player can leave the table before 500 hands or going busto. First up was Marigliano who finished with a narrow edge of just over $22,000 and then he defeated Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies by $68,000.
Playing at these stakes you could generally expect a much wider gap at the end of play but the challenge has been very even. Next up is World Class Smack Talker Sammy George, I feel pretty confident that this will not be a close affair no matter who wins in the end.

They haven’t played a hand since June. Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Patrik Antonius finally resumed action in their Heads Up durrrr Challenge battle with two sessions this week. Dwan at one point was ahead by over $1,000,000 and started these sessions with around a $700,000 cushion. After just a few thousand hands, Antonius grabbed the initiative and the lead in this epic battle.
For those who are unaware of the challenge or have forgotten during the long gaps in play, here’s the rundown.
With Dwan laying three-to-one odds for the “durrrr” Challenge, it’s no surprise that some of the world’s best poker players have already taken him up on his offer. Team Full Tilt’s Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius, along with high-stakes player David Benyamine, will be the first players to take on the young Internet pro.
The players who have accepted the “durrrr” Challenge must abide by the following conditions:
- The game type must be No-Limit Hold ‘em or Pot-Limit Omaha
- The stakes must be a minimum of $200/$400
- Once the stakes have been decided upon, they must stay the same for the entire challenge
- Players must reload if their stack falls below 75 big blinds at any time
The challenge started off like gang busters at the beginning but slowed down as the summer months arrived in the U.S. and stalled completely during the World Series of Poker. Even with the sudden burst of action, they are still less than 50% through the required 50,000 hands. The lead has changed several time of the 22,000 plus hands with Dwan having the biggest single lead. The last session of ver 1,200 involved 5 hands with pots over $150,000 with Antonius winning 4 of those. Those hands can be replayed, along with the 10 biggest hands throughout the challenge, can be replayed on the durrrr Challenge Stat Tracking page.
In other Tom Dwan news, he’s taking his challenges to a live venue this September in London. Dwan is challenging players to 500 hands Heads Up, $500,000 buyin each, with blinds at $500/$1000. Neither player can leave the table until 500 hands are complete or either have been busted to the felt. So far the only taker is Brit player Sammy George. I’ll keep my eye out to see how one of the top online players deals with this live challenge.

When Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Patrik Antonius began their epic heads up matches several months ago, one of the big questions floating around the internet was how many hands they would have to average so they would be done by the start of the 2009 World Series of Poker. There seemed to be no doubt they would want the challenge to be completed by then to concentrate on picking up WSOP cash and bracelets. Turned out that was needless questioning because neither pushed the action.
There have been few sitings of either player in the halls of the Rio this series. Dwan was seen playing in the $10,000 Heads Up World Championship but I believe it was his only event. Antonius has not been seen at all prompting speculation he has not been feeling well. His girlfriend Maya has played several events (as witnessed by you faithful blogger posting her pics) but he has been a no show.
It seems while I’ve been slaving away in the Amazon Room the two of them picked up steam and they played a monster session late in the week. Dwan came away having erased his deficit and finished with a massive +$720,000 lead over Antonius. They each sported huge stacks at the tables and 9 of the biggest 10 hands of the challenge were played in that stretch.
The Full Tilt durrrr Challenge tracking page has a hand replayer with those 10 hands, you can pull them up and see how the action went down. The biggest pot in the challenge to date went to Dwan for over $477,000, he won with a flopped boat versus a turned smaller boat.
Action these days isn’t retricted solely to the live games and tournaments here at the Rio, the big games are still hot if you wish to follow online. As alway, you can track the stats and hands via the durrrr Challenge page on FullTiltPoker.com.

Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Patrik Antonius continue their epic heads-up battle on Full Tilt Poker in the durrrr Challenge. As of today they have played over 7,200 hands of the required 50,000. That’s just short of 15% down before a winner is declared yet the numbers continue to switch between the two on a regular basis. They have wagered over $41 Million while 4-tabling 200/400 Pot Limit Omaha yet there is only $30,000 seperating those two and neither has led by more than $250,000.
I would say this is a very even battle.
