Friday 16 July 2010

78 players remain in the WSOP Main Event for 2010 - the fabled November Nine is in sight, so it's time to discover more about our porential future world champion.

The average stack is just over 2.8m, which is roughly 70 big blinds when they return to 20k-40k blinds tonight.

I will add more bios when I get time, I'm off to see Inception tonight so Day 7 will be in full swing by the time I get home so some of the counts will have changed and some of the names will be no more, but whatever, it's fun.

Theo Jorgensen 9,259,000

The chip leader is a man with big tournament experience and this gives him a huge chance to make it to November. The Dane has $2.3m worth of tournament cashes and won the WPT Paris event only two months ago. He finished 8th in the Main Event of the first ever WSOPE, and won't crumble under the pressure. One of the biggest names remaining in the field, I give him a better than 50% shot at making the N9.
Michael Mizrachi 7,535,000

What can you say about the Grinder this series? Could it be possible that the same player wins the first and last event, and the two most prestigous at that. He has the biggest career earnings of any player left at $8.8m,including 2 WPT wins. The man's a beast.
John Racener 7,200,000

Racener is a young looking pro whi has over $1m in career tournament earnings, his highlight being a WSOP Circuit win in late '07 in AC for just under $400k. Like the Grinder he hails from Florida.

Jonathan Driscoll 6,570,000

Driscoll is from Quebec and has 4 listed cashes on the Hendon mob, with his most recent being by far the biggest: $45k in a $1500 Venetian Deep Stack event just last month. No doubt that gave him the impetus and bankroll boost to go for the ME title as well.

William Thorson 6,525,000

Thorson is a Pokerstars Pro whi has been here before. He finished 13th for $900k in the only live poker event in history with a bigger field than this one - Jamie Gold's 2006 victory. This makes his presence so deep in this one even more impressive. The Swede has just under $2.5m in career cashes.

Matthew Jarvis 6,125,000

Another Canadian in the top 10, Jarvis has 11 listed cashes dating back to 2007, with the biggest being for $20k in the 2009 BC poker championships.

Edward Ochana 5,950,000

Ochana is from Illnois and has $400k in tournament cashes, $368k of which came in a 3rd place finish in the $5k 6-max at the '08 series.

Alexander Kostritsyn 5,715,000

Kostritsyn is the biggest online cash game beast remaining, he plays the highest limits online as PostFlopAction. He won the '08 Aussie Millions beating Seidel heads-up and has cashed for $2.4m in his live tourney career. He is the Russian Durrr. This series he finished 10th in the 50k Player's Championship and made the Semi Finals of the $10k Heads-Up.
