It looked like
the French were the only Europeans to show up. Not true. This is the WSOP. With
a $5,000 buy-in, the stars of poker from around the world are sure to attend.
Here are some of the 'names' who played but didn't get paid: Jim Bechtel, Lyle
Berman, Chris Bjorin, Barny and Ross Boatman, Humberto Brenes, John Cernuto,
Eskimo Clark, TJ Cloutier, Claude Cohen, Allen Cunningham, Paul Darden, Ian
Dobson, Chris Ferguson, Layne Flack, Ted Forrest, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey,
John Juanda, John Kabbaj, Robin Keston, Jim Lester, Kathy Liebert, O'Neal
Longson, Marcel Luske, Elie Marciano, Tom McEvoy, John McIntosh, Men Nguyen,
Scotty Nguyen, Amarillo Slim, Ben Roberts, Erik Seidel, Mike Sexton, Johan
Storaakers, Surinder Sunar, Dewey Tomko, Simon Trumper, David Ulliott, Ram
Vaswani, Steve Zolotow
There were 18 bracelets at this table to
commence. Six of them belonged to the 'Chinese Wall' Johnny Chan. Today "the
Orient Express" was derailed by lack of cards. In one hand where he said he had
K K, Johnny couldn't call a 'pot' raise after the flop by John Williamson when
it came Q 10 9. Chau Giang, who'd survived a couple of all-in hands early to
accumulate a healthy stack with his aggressive play, reraised Johnny all-in
with Q J 9 8. Chan had A 10 10 8. The wall crumbled in 8th as Giang made Jacks
full of 9's.
In Pot-Limit Omaha, the hand that gets whacked the most it
seems is pocket Kings. Issam's good buddy, Patrick Bruel, did the honors with
(of course) pocket Aces. Berry also had the dreaded pocket Kings. They don't
need to find Aces to lose. These Kings lost to 7's and 6's to give Berry the
berries in 5th. Pocket Kings found a new way to lose for Ken Flaton. He was
all-in with the unlucky pair and lost to Bob Williamson's Q's and 10's.
"Remember The Alamo!" Bob Williamson was the only player of the last
five without a bracelet. He'd said he was "the achor" when it was 6-1 against
Texas. Now it was 1-1. Paris had Patrick Bruel and he was on a mission to save
his countries future. "When I won in 1998," Patrick said, "France won the World
Cup two months later. So it is very important that I win today for France."
Bruel was afraid if he lost, France would lose the 2002 World Cup that's being
played this summer. Stay tuned 'cause Patrick lost. He should have known better
than play pocket Kings. The next new way they lost was to the nut straight by
Bob Williamson with a 7 5.
Thanks to Mike Paulle and Tex
