2010 World Series of Poker Update after 10 Days
June 7, 2010
The 2010 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas is now well underway and we’d like to update everyone on how the event has been going thus far at the Rio. We have seen some really nice turnouts for the tournaments and we only expect them to get bigger as the event progresses. Many of the early tournaments historically have smaller playing fields then the tournaments that take place near the end of June.
We haven’t been able to update you as much as we’d like to have so far during the 2010 WSOP, but we’re going to work on providing more consistent updates as the action picks up at the Rio in Vegas. There have currently been 12 tournaments out of 57 that are now finished, with another four tournaments being played at the moment. Since we haven’t updated you on any of the finished tournaments yet at the World Series of Poker we’d like to tell you the winners of each event.
Event #1 - $500 NL Holden Casino Employee’s Tournament – Hoai Pham $71,424
Event #2 - $50K Mixed Game Poker Player’s Championship – Michael Mizrachi $1,559,046
Event #3 - $1K NL Holdem – Aadam Dava $625,872
Event #4 - $1.5K Omaha Hi-Lo Split Eights or Better – Michael Chow $237,140
Event #5 - $1.5K NL Holdem – Praz Bansi $515,501
Event #6 - $5K NL Holdem Shootout – Joshua Tieman $441,692

Event #11 - $1.5K NL Holdem – Simon Watt $614,248
Event #12 - $1.5K Limit Holdem – Matthew Matros $189,870
With things heating up in Vegas we’re going to work on providing more consistent updates for all of you that are looking for 2010 WSOP news. As you can see a lot of the winners thus far are unknown players that now have marked their own spot in poker history. With a few big updates on the verge of getting started I can’t wait to see the turnout for some of the tournaments.
