The WPT which has been taking place in Las Vegas since last week arrived yesterday to its end. The tournament winner was the north American Tommy Vedes, who not only won the famous World Poker Tour bracelet, but also brought home the amazing amount of $1.218.225.Only six players from the 275 that started the poker tournament managed to arrive to the final table. The last day of the competitions started with the players being in possession of a similar amount of chips, being Freddi Deeb slightly ahead.The final Heads Up was played between Vedes and Lavalle and both put all their effort to win the tournament, obviously not only because of the bracelet, but because of the fantastic prize.The list with the players that arrived to the final table and the amount of money obtained is as follows:-Tommy Vedes $1,218,255- Jason Lavallee $795,150- Craig Crivello $477,090- Freddy Deeb $278,300
We had to wait till the sixth World Poker Tour day to find out who will be the lucky players that will form the final table and fight for the big prize on the last tournament day.The fifth day, which by the way was characterized by the slowness of the game, started with eleven players, of which only six could arrive to the final table.Larry Berg was the first one to be eliminated, having to be satisfied with the eleventh position. After him, Chris Bjorin was the next one being eliminated and Richard Sciuto also followed them. The last players on being eliminated in the eight and seventh position respectively were Kido Pham and Aaron Jones.Therefore, the final table which is being played today is formed by the following poker players:-Tommy Vedes 2.990.000-Jason Lavallee 2.045.000-Craig Crivello 2.570.000-Freddi Deeb 3.840.000-Jason Burt 1.375.000-Shawn Cunix 3.670.000We will wait anxiously to know the final result and see which one will be the WPT champion!
The second day of the World Poker Tour was celebrated at the casino Bellagio in Las Vegas and at the end of the day, from the 275 players that had started the day there were only 98 left.As we had mentioned yesterday, among the innovations of this tournament was the possibility of starting at any level up to the ninth one. That gave us the chance to see some players starting in the second tournament day. Among the players who chose this option were Phill Hellmuth and Kenny Tran, but both were eliminated soon after they had started. That proves that there are no a clear advantage on starting in more advance tournament phases.So far, after two days, Jason Somerville is the tournament leader with 557.000 accumulated chips.The list of players in the first five positions is as follows: -Jason Somerville 557.000-Mark Seif 473.200-Dutch Boyd 453.800-Chad Batista 425.000-Corwin Cole 405.600And while we wait for the tournament resolution nothing better than enjoying our favorite cards games playing at the best online poker sites.
The World Poker Tour started yesterday at the Casino Bellagio de Las Vegas (Nevada) and will still taking place till next Monday de 26th of October.In this occasion the buyin price was $15.000+$400 and the number of chips obtained was 60.000. The innovation this year is that players can register and start taking place in the tournament at any time before the level nine, at the same price and for the same amount of chips.This new initiative was taken because many professional players get really bored in the first phases of the tournament because the level is low and therefore they prefer to start once the level of game is a bit higher. Some recognized players have already expressed their opinion regarding this new idea, as for instance Negreanu and Jason Mercier. They both agree on the fact that any of the two options available hasn’t got a clear advantage over the other. Therefore, everything will depend in the wiliness of the player to start earlier or not.So far, after the first day of tournament there are only 195 players left from the 244 that started the competition.The five players better situated in the ranking are:-Mike Matusow 224.200-Mark Seif 222.425-Jason Somerville 213.350-Joseph Elpayaa 195.500-Jason Lavalee 187.325In any case, there are still many days of tournament left, so there is nothing decided yet. And while we wait to know the final results, nothing better than practicing our favourite cards game in the best online poker rooms.
