World Series of Poker 2004 (SPOILERS) (1 Viewer)

[Rob Willey]

After Nightline last night, Jimmy Kimmmel came on and he said they had paid his cousin Sol's way into the tournament and with the field down to 500, he was still in!! He's a complete poker novice who got a few tips from Ross Boatman.

As they went off the air, Sol was all-in for about 35,000 and won with A-Q against a bluffer's 4-2. The tournament was going on a 15 minute break before a final three hour session to end day 3.

[Patrick Sun]

Gotta love busting a bluffer on an "all-in" call.

 

[Rob Willey]

I see Doyle Brunson is still going strong on day 4. As is Gus Hansen.

Rob

 

[Shane Martin]

Actually IIRC he won the entire thing a while back.

 

[Peter Kim]

I like Gus Hansen...wild fun to watch him.

Hellmutt seems to be the guy everyone hates, including me. Perhaps it's good to have him stay in for the tension.

 

[Patrick Sun]

I just remember Eric Seidel losing to Humberto (the Costa Rican dude, I think) 2-3 years ago.

Gus Hansen is out! (He was in a 3-way pot, drawing for a flush, got it on the river, but the pot winner had the bigger Ace-high flush, so Gus was gone!)

"Jesus" Ferguson is still in.

Julian Gardener is still in (he was runnerup to Robert Varkhonyi 2 years ago).

Doyle Brunson is still in.

The field is dwindling, I think we are now in the money (under 200 players left).

 

[Doug R]

noooo not Gus

Cousin Sal is also out. And the last remaining celeb was Laura Prepon from That 70s Show, also busted.

 

[Mike Wladyka]

how about scotty nguyen?

 

[Patrick Sun]

I think Scotty is out. His name hasn't been mentioned as a high profile "survivor" at this point in the tourney.

They are down to under 100 players now.

 

[Brook K]

Rooting for Dan Harrington, he's at the same table as Jesus right now.

 

[NolanJ]

I couldn't resist... I had to read the spoilers.

I hope at least two of the following make it to the final table:

Chris Ferguson
Doyle Brunson
Dan Harrington
David Ulliot

I know it's great to see amateurs make final tables, but I want to see some people that I know make it as well!

 

[Patrick Sun]

Devilfish is out!

We're down to 60 players and the play has slowed down a lot.

 

[Brook K]

Brunson is out!

Down to 32 players. Dan Harrington and Jesus Ferguson are still in. Today they go from 32 to the final 9.

[Patrick Sun]

The final 32 is filled with lesser known players (with the exception of Harrington, Ferguson, and Gardener, and perhaps Raymer). Stack sizes range from $190K to $1.8million

 

[Brook K]

And Gardener was the first to go out today

 

[Patrick Sun]

He was short-stacked (only $300k at the start of the day).

 

[Brook K]

Go Dan, Go!!

[Patrick Sun]

Play had slowed down because no one wanted to be the 16th place finisher because of the $100K difference in prize money for 15th place ($175K vs. $275K).
