WSOP Day 6: 57 Players Remain, Ryan Lenaghan in Control
We’re at the point in the 2011 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event where everyone left in the field can smell the finish line. The coveted championship bracelet is now a realistic possibility, even for those at the bottom of the leader board. With just 57 of the original 6,865 players still holding on to chips, the tension will be ratcheted up a notch as Day 7 begins on Monday.
Leading the way is professional poker player Ryan Lenaghan, with a stack of 12,865,000 chips, almost 3,000,000 more than his nearest competitor. The Mobile, Alabama native now living in New Orleans made his biggest move late in the day. He opened the betting pre-flop with a raise to 110,000 and was then re-raised to 355,000 by Bryan Follain. Undeterred, Lenaghan took it up to 865,000 only to see Follain five-bet all the way up to 1,200,000. Lenaghan quickly moved all-in, covering his opponent, who, after some thought decided to put all his chips at risk. Interestingly, the hands weren’t all that strong considering the action: Lenaghan had J-J, while Follain held A-Q. None of the five community cards helped Follain and with the 4,200,000 chip pot, Lenaghan soared into the lead. Despite his chip advantage, Lenaghan will start at a tough table today. Joining him is John Esposito, who has now cashed in seven Main Events, David Bach, who was the chip leader going into Day 6, top online (and now live) poker pro David “Doc” Sands, and one of the other top stacks, Hilton Laborda, who has 7,160,000 chips. Currently sitting in second place is this summer’s star, Ben Lamb, who has been at or near the top of the field for most of the Main Event. With his deep run in this tournament, Lamb will take over the lead in the 2011 WSOP Player of the Year (POY) standings from Phil Hellmuth. Not counting the Main Event, he has four cashes at this year’s WSOP, including a bracelet, a runner-up finish and a third final table. His worst finish of the four cashes is 12th. Hellmuth will still have a chance to re-take the lead at the WSOP Europe later this year. Other notables remaining the in the competition include Bryan Devonshire (10th), J.P. Kelly (21st), Lars Bonding (26th), Sam Barnhart (27th), Tony Hachem (36th), Erick Lindgren (38th), Steve Brecher (45th), and Sebastian Ruthenberg (57th). Everyone remaining is guaranteed at least $130,997. Here is what the remaining payout structure looks like: 1. $8,711,956 2. $5,430,928 3. $4,019,635 4. $3,011,665 5. $2,268,909 6. $1,720,396 7. $1,313,851 8. $1,009,910 9. $782,115 10 – 12. $607,882 13 – 15. $478,174 16 – 18. $378,796 19 – 27. $302,005 28 – 36. $242,636 37 – 45. $196,174 46 – 54. $160,036 55 – 63. $130,997 And the current top ten chip counts: 1. Ryan Lenaghan – 12,865,000 2. Ben Lamb – 9,980,000 3. Matt Giannetti – 7,940,000 4. Andrey Pateychuk – 7,255,000 5. Phil Collins – 7,240,000 6. Hilton Laborda – 7,160,000 7. Nelson Robinson – 6,420,000 8. Tri Huynh – 6,295,000 9. Aleksandr Mozhnyakov – 6,070,000 10. Bryan Devonshire – 5,970,000 Play will resume at noon Pacific time on Monday. The original schedule indicated that Day 7 would end when just 27 players are remaining, but a tournament update released by WSOP officials has stated that, like in previous days, there will be four blind levels played, at which point the tournament will be paused until Tuesday.

WSOP by the Digits(TM): Main Event Day 7
http://cdn.wickedchopspoker.com/wp-c...oore-naked.jpg NOBODY can lick WSOP by the Digits...well, Victoria Moore can.
The 2011 WSOP Main Event will play down from 57 to 18 (originally scheduled to be 27) today beginning at 12pm PT. Since nobody in the so-called poker “media” has created or copied a WSOP by the DigitsTM concept, we figured it was a good time to roll-out our second installment of WSOP by the DigitsTMto cover all things Day 7. 10 – On a scale of 1 – 10, with 10 being the hottest, how hot the above picture of Victoria Moore is (see the whole NSFW version of it here). 0 – On a scale of 1-10, how hot this photo is. 1 – How many women remain in the 2011 WSOP Main Event field. In related news, here are Erika Moutinho poker pictures. 2 – By our count, how many gingers remain in the field, including current chip leader, Ryan Lenaghan, a ginger. 35 – Approximate number of “pros” who remain in the field, according to this (scroll down), meaning we should have a pro-heavy final table. 4 – Approximate number that the casual poker audience would actually identify as “pros” (Erick Lindgren, Steve Brecher (recent WPT final table on FSN), “Sugary”Tony Hachem (confusing him for Joe), andMinh Nguyen (confusing him with any number of older Asian pros)). 1 – Number of “name pros” the mass poker audience would be able to identify (Erick Lindgren). 57.8% – Percentage of remaining field that hails from U.S. America. 0% – Percentage of remaining field that hails from Japan. 70 – Place that Matt Salsberg, executive producer of Weeds, finished. 2 – Seasons since Weeds kind of ran off the tracks.

Friendship 7
Today, July 18, 2011, is John Glenn's 90th birthday. On Feb. 20, 1962 at 9:47 am EST, Glenn launched from Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 14 to become the first American to orbit the Earth. In this image, Glenn enters his Friendship 7 capsule with assistance from technicians to begin his historic flight. Before joining NASA, Glenn already had a distinguished career as a pilot, receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross, Navy Unit Commendation for service in Korea, the World War II Victory Medal, the Navy's Astronaut Wings, the NASA Distinguished Service Medal, among others. Glenn rejoined NASA in 1998 as a member of the STS-95 Discovery crew. This 9-day mission, from Oct. 29-Nov. 7, supported a variety of research payloads including deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope Orbital Systems Test Platform and investigations on space flight and the aging process.

The Generuk - Amazing Acrobat
http://thewebsiteofeverything.com/we...es/gerenuk.jpgThe Gerenuk (Litocranius walleri) is nature's little acrobat, able to stand upright on its back legs to graze from higher branches. The name actually means "giraffe-necked" in the Somali language. An herbivore, it is a member of the gazelle family.
This delicate mammal received its name because of its long neck and legs. The head is small and wedge-shaped with eyes and ears that are large. The tail is tufted and the body has a reddish color in a saddle shape on the back with cream colored legs, and white underpants. The tail is tipped with black hair, making it easily distinguished from other gazelles. The forehead is typically brown with a distinctive blaze on it. The generuk weighs in at about 100 pounds 45 kilograms. They stand roughly three feet, or .9 meters, tall at the shoulder. The generuk has the unique ability to stand upright in order to pick the select leaves from higher branches. The lumbar vertebrae are stronger than in other animals. It also has stronger lower limbs and wedge shaped hooves. Its acrobatic balance is so refined that it can actually use its front legs to pull higher branches down within dining range. Generuks prefer the dry habitat of the desert and the bush of the savanna. It also makes its home in the woodland forests in the region. Found in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Somalia it does not require regular supplies of water. It is able to fill its water requirements from the plants it dines on. Generuks are herbivores and enjoy eating tall bushes, leaves and shoots. They don't dine on grass but do enjoy buds, flowers and fruit of climbing plants. They prefer small groups to large herds and are typically found in groups of 2 to 6 females with one male. Predators include large cats and wild dogs as well as most other large carnivores native to the area. Specifically, cheetahs, lions and leopards are predators of the generuk. When these animals feel threatened, they stand completely motionless to watch for the danger. Its movable ears are perfect for turning to hear sounds from all around them. The generuk are not considered endangered, although there is a need to protect the areas in Africa that they are native to. Protecting their habitat can help protect this species as well as countless others.

Hi, my name is Marcel! I'm a Pembroke Welsh Corgi from the countryside who just moved to a big city. My favorite activities are chasing ice cubes around the kitchen floor, attempting to dig holes in concrete sidewalks, trimming low-hanging plants on my morning walks, and trying to tackle the English Bulldog who lives next door. I love meeting new people--come say hi if you ever see me out on a walk. More... |
