Bracelet Winners Thriving at WSOP Main Event
For the third straight day, a former bracelet winner has finished atop the chip counts at the World Series of Poker Main Event. California-based poker pro Kevin Song joined Fred Berger and Ben Lamb in that regard by amassing a stack of 163,325 chips on Day 1c Saturday. Song, who won a $2,000 Limit Hold ‘em Event in 1997, was among the 1,360 survivors that advanced to Monday’s Day 2a, which will combine the players who made it through Days 1a and 1c.
An impressive total of 2,181 players took to the felts on Saturday, a larger turnout than Days 1a and 1b combined. That brings the total number of Main Event entrants to 4,056, with Day 1d still set to get underway on Sunday. The tournament staff is preparing for at least another 2,000 players to play on Day 1, with the possibility that the total entrants could hit 7,000 for the second straight year. Saturday brought seven former WSOP Main Event champions to the Rio, including last year’s champion Jonathan Duhamel, who took his seat at the ESPN Featured Table. The other former world champs in attendance were Joe Cada, Phil Hellmuth, Dan Harrington, Bobby Baldwin, Scotty Nguyen, and Chris Moneymaker, who was the only member of the esteemed club to hit the rail on Saturday. The 2003 champ ran a bluff into an opponent’s set of tens, leaving him empty handed for the eighth straight year at the Main Event. Hellmuth currently leads the WSOP Player of the Year race but had a rough time of it on Saturday, ending the day with just 11,800. He had dropped as low as 4,000 but was able to double when his A-K held up against an opponent’s K-J to stay alive. He’ll need to bounce back on Day 2 in order to fend off Ben Lamb, who is second in the standings and second overall in chips in this event heading into Monday. A few celebrities and an NBA All-Star were also in attendance Saturday. The always entertaining Ray Romano and Brad Garrett got the day off to a humorous start with the traditional announcement of “Shuffle Up and Deal,” accompanied by Garrett jokingly proclaiming, “we’re both here to meet lots of men!” Garrett’s sprits remained high throughout the day as he finished with 59,775, nearly double the starting stack of 30,000. Romano, though, was eliminated in the second level of the day. Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce was among the early chip leaders on Saturday. The man known as “The Truth” increased his stack to nearly 100,000 before dropping off to 62,750 to finish the night. Pierce was donning his 2007-08 NBA championship ring at the table and appears poised to make a run at another piece of jewelry in the coming weeks. Other notables that survived Day 1c with healthy stacks were Adam Junglen (127,025), Ted Forrest (100,100), Shannon Shorr (91,250), Mike Sowers (87,800), Christian Harder (81,850), Yevgeniy Timoshenko (80,600), JP Kelly (80,525), Humberto Brenes (80,175), and Dan Shak (79,925). Among the ill-fated pros that met their demise Saturday were David Singer, Allen Bari, James Akenhead, Chad Brown, David Benyamine, Nenad Medic, Karina Jett, Erik Seidel, and Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh. Here’s a look at the top 10 stacks from Day 1c of the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event: 1. Kevin Song — 163,325 2. Chris McClung — 162,375 3. Giuseppe Zarbo — 159,400 4. Daniel Skolovy — 151,475 5. Henry Pena — 140,800 6. Nathan Amar — 140,000 7. Mozhnyakov Alrsandr — 136,225 8. Don Nguyen — 136,000 9. Thomas Pohnke — 135,900 10. Adam Junglen — 127,025 More... |

Christopher Russell
http://www.aadstatic.com/uploads/chr..._234234234.jpg
About Christopher: My landscapes are based on both on my physical experiences in the outdoors, and a fantasy narrative. My working practice really teeters on a line between my reality and fantasy. Backpacking in the mountains, traveling, swimming in lakes with friends and even just riding my bike up in the East Bay hills; these experiences outside really fuel my painting and are a part of my life that is essential to my mental well-being. The fantasy comes into my work as a sort of exaggeration of my real experience- while I may have hiked to the top of a 14000ft peak, I have never climbed something like K2. So my art stays open to the influence of other peoples’ documentation of epic experiences in nature. There is such a long tradition of people venturing into the natural world to capture it in a painting; this tradition is a part of my work, but I don’t feel directly in line with this tradition. I don’t have the authenticity of people like the “True-View†Painters of the Joseon Dynasty or painters of the American wilderness like Thomas Moran, who literally ventured into the wilderness to paint sublime images in order to show people what is out there. The contemporary equivalent to a Thomas Moran painting would be an episode of Planet Earth, not my paintings. So I am partially following a tradition of landscape painting, while playing with this role of a landscape painter who hikes off into uncharted territory to paint the sublime. However, my relationship to the landscapes I paint are not always as direct; I am not painting outside, capturing specific places. I try to keep this apparent in my work, I am not going for realistic landscapes. My paintings deal with things I love, human experience in the outdoors, the gear involved, undisturbed wilderness, and natural science, but they also address a disconnect from the natural world. http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...ZXsrgd0Y4/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...ZXsrgd0Y4/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...EQ:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...EQ:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...EQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Artis...~4/l8cneZFvqRU More... |
