Play slows down at World Series of Poker

(via The Associated Press) · July 12, 2008 · 6:30 PM

<!-- JW TODO: Why aren't P tags being kicked out of ellington? -->
<STORY>The Associated Press reports that play slowed considerably at the World Series of Poker today, as the top tier of the field held powerful chip stacks and enough rounders had been eliminated to let players be more picky about their hands.
Tournament professional Gus Hansen was eliminated after calling an all-in bet from 23-year-old Jeremy Joseph holding only a straight draw. Joseph, a poker player from Buffalo, N.Y., held only an ace high, but it was good enough to end Hansen's tournament in 160th place, winning $41,816.
After more than four and a half hours of play Saturday, 70 players had been eliminated, leaving 119 players competing and allowing the average stack to creep over 1 million chips.
Chips have no monetary value, but show players where they stand compared to their opponents. One player will have to win all the chips in play to win the tournament and top prize of $9.12 million.

McManus is best known as the author of the book Positively Fifth Street: Murderers, Cheetahs, and Binion's World Series of Poker (ISBN 0-374-23648-8). The book is based on his trip to Las Vegas to cover the progress of women in the 2000 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the death of Ted Binion.

That's a different James McManus. The one in this year's Series looks to be 20 something. The author was born in 1951.

Tiffany Michelle has to the story after Saturday's play, followed by Hellmuth penalty and him sitting at the feature table with Matusow, although they have quite a bit of work to do.

Really, it's a bunch of non-TV pros over most of the top 20.

I would say the best known names at the top have to be Brandon Cantu and Chino Rheem.

I realize that it's not the same guy, but that book is a good read.
