Phil Ivey was at the same table as El Nasr and Boatman, finishing 8th to move into the lead in the WSOP POY standings if the criteria doesn\’t change.
Thang Doing his Thang in 8-Game
Thang Luu is trying to prove he\’s not an Omaha-8 wonder, as he\’s the current chip leader (150,000) in the $2,500 Mixed Event with 54 players remaining, 40 making the money. Other notables with chips: Michael Binger (115,300), Layne Flack (80,000), Blair Rodman (67,500), Jimmy Fricke (50,000) and Robert Williamson III (30,000). Play will continue until the 3am deadline or when 8 players remain, whichever comes first.
Seniors Sellout
A capacity field of 2,707 members of the over 50 set started the $1,000 Seniors NL Holdem World Championship with about 900 players returning after the dinner break with four levels remaining in the day.
Razz Draws Respectable Field
The $2,500 Razz event drew a field of approximately 300 (including Pokerati\’s own Tom Schneider) to the Amazon room, with those sick enough to play razz playing eight levels before play ends for the evening.
