2010 July 16 Poker News, Events and Happenings
Jason “PBJaxx” Senti is an instructor at the popular poker training site BlueFire Poker. The former electrical engineer turned poker pro recorded a deep run in the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event and currently plays $5/$10 to $50/$100 No Limit Hold’em online.
One of the “x-factors” in this year’s World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event is Wichita, Kansas native Brandon Steven. Sitting among the 78 players remaining for one of the most prized awards in the poker industry, Steven has been able to keep a level head about his deep run in the WSOP Main Event.
Theo Jorgensen is currently one of the final 27 players in this year’s World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. After Day 6 of the $10,000 buy-in tournament, the Copenhagen, Denmark, poker professional – who has been playing the game since the early 1990s – held nearly a two million chip lead over the field.
While he may not be well known in the United States, Jorpeland, Norway’s Johnny Lodden has been a terror in the online world for several years and, most recently, in the European live poker arena. Lodden is one of the players vying for a cherished seat as a member of the “November Nine” in the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.
Jonathan Duhamel chipped up during the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event and made the most of his arsenal, playing big stack poker to the best of his ability. The Canadian entered Day 7 of the Main Event in 17th on the leaderboard with 4.30 million in chips and, within a few hours, had mushroomed to nearly nine million. Duhamel took 15th in a $2,500 No Limit Hold’em tournament at the 2010 WSOP prior to his deep run in the Main Event and banked $37,000, or 25 times his buy-in.
On Day 7 of the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, Wisconsin native Benjamin Statz rumbled through the competition in the $10,000 buy-in feature tournament. After a 4bet pre-flop shove with Q-10 of spades, Statz was up against the A-K of UB.com qualifier Christopher Bolt. The flop came 7-6-2 with one spade, leaving Statz rooting for a queen, ten, or running spades to draw out on Big Slick.
In 2003, a little-known Tennessee accountant with a crafty last name – Chris Moneymaker – took down the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, igniting the modern poker boom. In 2010, Brentwood, Tennessee’s Matthew Bucaric is looking to recreate history. Bucaric made waves on Day 7 of the 2010 WSOP Main Event, sending Gary Dishongh out the door in 63rd place with pocket aces against pocket kings.
