2009 WSOP Update: Negreanu, Duke Make $10k Omaha 8B Final Table

The Intense Stare of Scott Clements is intensely staring down a potential third bracelet.

The Intense Stare of Scott Clements is intensely staring down a potential third bracelet.

Daniel Negreanu is crushing the 2009 WSOP.

In an impressive response to Jeffrey Lisandro‘s Event #16 victory (and to his own crushing runner-up finish in Event #14), Negreanu has stepped up and final tabled yet another event. He is currently fourth in chips going into final table play in Event #18 ($10,000 Omaha 8B). A win here would put him and Erick Lindgren way out in front in their POY prop bets with Barry Greenstein and company. Negreanu trails the intense stare of Scott Clements (staring intensely above), who is chip leader with 1,445,000. Also alive are John Monnette (940,000), Daniel Alaei (540,000), and Annie Duke (225,000). We’ll have a Negreanu vlog from the break up soon.

Elsewhere, the Ladies Event is playing down its final table now. How do we know this? Because any time one of the ladies wins a hand, her cheering section screams like a sorority girl who hears the first few bars of “Come on Eileen” in a cheesy dance club.

Elsewhere elsewhere, less than 80 remain in Event #19 ($2,500 NLH Six-Handed). Among those remaining is aforementioned Erick Lindgren, racking up more POY points for the aforementioned prop bets. Layne Flack, Brock Parker, Men the Master (he’s still alive?), and Howard Lederer also remain.

Not alive in the Omaha 8B championship or any other event right now is Jean-Robert Bellande, who below discusses his now not-so-secret secret weapon which didn’t turn out to be much of a weapon at all.

Jeffrey Lisandro Wins Event #16 ($1,500 Seven Card Stud)

Jeffrey Lisandro (not pictured) came up big yesterday by winning Event #16 ($1,500 7CS). Jeffrey Lisandro (not pictured) came up big yesterday by winning Event #16 ($1,500 7CS).

Jeffrey Lisandro (not pictured) came up big yesterday by winning Event #16 ($1,500 7CS).

We’ll post a more “robust” round-up  later, but one “name” pro pulled out a victory yesterday as Jeffrey Lisandro won Event #16 ($1,500 7CS).

Much like Phil Ivey‘s 2-7 NL Lowball win, the financial implications are much greater for Lisandro than the $124,959 he banks for first. Lisandro and Barry Greenstein have one of the big money POY wagers against Daniel Negreanu and Erick Lindgren. With Negreanu in the money again in the $10,000 Omaha 8B event, this win was huge for the Lisandro and Greenstein team.

Lisandro, who really just crushed the final table, defeated Rodney Pardey heads-up for the title. Get full results here.

2009 WSOP Round-Up: Lisandro, Juanda Lead 7CS Final Table

2009 WSOP Girls on the Rail

Ok, we may have a new winner for hottest Girl on the Rail ever. Let's hope she sweats tables as much as THO Girl.

With Daniel Negreanu’s second place finish in Event #14, a lot is riding on the Event #16 final table today. Both Jeffrey Lisandro and John Juanda are playing for a bracelet, and both have POY side bets (with Barry Greenstein) against the Negreanu and Erick Lindgren team.

Here’s the latest round-up.

:: Event #13 ($2,500 NLH): Keven Stammen of Ohio took down this friends and family final tableTM to bank $506,786 and his first bracelet. Garrett “GBecks” Beckman finished 10th. Roland de Wolfe bowed out in 15th and Phil Ivey in 18th. Get full payouts here.

:: Event #15 ($5,000 NLH): Day 2 wrapped with 17 players remaining. Isaac Baron has the overnight chip lead, stacked at 1,001,000. He’s trailed by David “The Dragon” Pham* with 880,000. Also in contention are Liya Gerasimova of Moscow (530,000), Mike Sowers (480,000), David Benefield (236,000) and Thomas Keller (195,000). Get full chip counts here.

:: Event #16 ($1,500 7CS): As noted in the lead paragraph, much like Phil Ivey’s 2-7 NL Lowball final table, this one has way bigger implications then just a bracelet and first place money. Jeffrey Lisandro is chip leader, stacked at 334,000. John Juanda is third with 287,000. An uncle-nephew team also made the final table, with Rod Pardey (whose son once went deep in the Main Event) and Eric Pardey as fourth and fifth in chips. Get full counts here.

:: Event #17 ($1,000 Ladies NLH): We already covered the important stuff in pictures here, but if you’re into things like chip counts, Tamara Tibbles, a woman, is the overnight big stack with 129,700. Other notables include last year’s winner Svetlana “Glum Girl” Gromenkova, a woman (62,800), J.J. Liu, a woman, (38,300), and Maria Hoooooooooo!, a woman (24,800). Get more stacks here.

:: Event #18 ($10,000 Omaha 8B): The final tourney of the day had 179 entrants, with about 130 or so making it to Day 2. The overnight chip leader is Chris Bjorin with 134,400. The intense stare of Scott Clements is second with 130,800. Plenty of big names still alive. Get full chip counts here.

* Not a real dragon.
