2011 World Series Of Poker Event 10

A short handed game of No Limit Texas Hold 'em is taking the place of event 10, giving players a chance to play the most popular form of poker in a smaller environment. Only six players will sit at each table, which guarantees a level of excitement not generally found in a full table. With only six players, typically weak hands can have more strength in the short handed event. This event even has a smaller buy-in than most tournaments, so most players, even with a limited bankroll, can participate in what is likely to be a solid event. Those who excel at six handed Texas Hold 'em will want to consider entering this event.

Beginning on June 6th, this event will kick off around 12 PM. Players will have to pay the $1,500 buy-in by noon in order to participate in the event. Those who wish to enter into the event will find that a solid prize pool could easily be attained. These six handed Hold 'em events generally attract at least 1,000 players, with this style of tournament generally bringing in more than a handful of participants. This is expected to be a 3 day event, so the tournament will not run too long.

Event 10 Results - The six handed no limit hold 'em tournament that made up event 10 attracted a total of 1,920 entries. Backed by a buy-in of $1,500, a prize pool of $2,592,000 had been established. Three days of play brought the event to its end, but not before some of the biggest names in poker came out to participate. The first day held the eliminations of Lex Veldhuis, John Racener, Shawn Buchanan, Andy black, Lauren Kling, Faraz Jaka, Chino Rheem, Galen Hall, Greg Raymer, Tom Dwan, Antonio Esfandari, and Andrew Lichtenberger, but plenty of pros would remain to continue battling toward victory.

The second day of the event went fairly quickly, with the bubble bursting within 30 minutes of play on the second day. Eric Froehlich and Matt Jarvis both shared the bursting bubble, as they had been eliminated at the same time. Eliminations were handed out quick, and some of the fallen included Mark Flowers, Grant Hinkle, Greg Meuller, and Bill Chen. Only 15 players made it into the final day of play, and these 15 would be going into a tough fight to win the bracelet in event 10.

The final six players remaining in the third day came down to Anthony Spinella in 6th, Bryan Colin in 5th, David Vamplew in 4th, and Jeffrey Papola in third. Both Eddie Blumenthal and Geffrey Klein went into heads up play for their piece of the $544,388 and $334,756 top prizes. The bracelet was also on the line. On the last hand, Blumenthal raised 250,000 from the button and Klein quickly reraised. Blumenthal shoved, and he flipped his 7s-7d quickly. Klein was at risk with his Ad-Ks, and he was in really bad shape when the flop hit 8d-5d-5h. The King of diamonds fell on turn, giving Klein a chance to hit the nut flush. The Queen of diamonds secured the win for Klein, and sent Blumenthal home $334,000 richer, but without a bracelet.
