Main Event eliminates More Players

Almost three hours into the Sunday night session of the Main Event and the field was dramatically thinned down to 104 poker players.� The Main Event started Tuesday with over 8,000 participants, broken into 4 groups.� After a few days, there were 2 groups and now, almost a week into the event and we are down to under a dozen tables.

Jamie Gold has maintained the chip lead with an impressive 3,907,000 chips.� David Simon was the eliminated in 115th place, well into the money but not enough to make the next day’s event.� Other notable outs were Mark Shanta, eliminated with pocket aces beaten by a straight on the turn and Bryan Micon of the Micon System.

Of the online poker rooms that sent players, Bodogpoker seems to be holding the strongest.� Although it is worth mentioning that Fulltilt Poker is hanging in there and a few players from Poker Stars are making it, as well.

All in all, this is turning out just as the past few years have, a very exciting main event at the World Series of Poker.

One room that hasn’t made a huge showing at the WSOP is Partypoker.� Partypoker is, however, the top online poker room for ring games.� Check out our Partypoker Bonus Code and get up to $100 added to your player account.
