The Intense Stare of Scott Clements Does Not Win His Third Bracelet

by Wicked Chops Entity on 6.14.2009 in Uncategorized | 4 comments

The third time is becoming a pain in the ass for The Intense Stare of Scott Clements.

Despite coming into final table play in Event #27 ($5,000 PLO 8B) with a sizable chip lead, The Intense Stare of Scott Clements did not capture his third WSOP bracelet.

Instead, Roland de Wolfe overcame one of the more talented final tables of the 2009 WSOP to claim his first [bracelet].

For the win, de Wolfe banks $246,616 and becomes only the second player, along with Gavin Griffin, to claim a WSOP, WPT, and EPT title. Roland defeated Brett Richey (this guy) in heads-up play.

The Intense Stare of Scott Clements bowed out in third. This is the second time in a week that Clements just missed out on his third bracelet. However, Clements and his intense stare clearly pwn Omaha games, so he’ll have another few shots at it over the next couple of weeks.

2009 WSOP Round-Up: Erik Seidel Goes for Gold Bracelet #9

by Wicked Chops Entity on 6.11.2009 in Uncategorized | no comments

Who is this guy fooling? Is he paying Chris Ferguson royalties? Speaking of Ferguson, we've seen more of this impostor than the real one, who remains surprisingly cashless at the 2009 WSOP.

Things were a little calmer yesterday at the 2009 WSOP. All eyes today will be focused on the Event #20 final table. Here’s the rundown:

:: Event #20 ($1,500 PLH): The story of the day will be if Erik Seidel can capture WSOP bracelet #9. He is third in chips going into final table play, stacked at 337,000. Seidel trails John-Paul Kelly (627,000) and Jason DeWitt (476,000). The man responsible for putting a brutal bad beat on Joe Sebok and knocking him out of the tourney, Kyle Carlston, is fourth with 320,000. Get full chip counts here.

:: Event #21 ($3,000 H.O.R.S.E.): The money bubble burst and 21 of the original 452 remain. Zac Fellows is overnight chip leader, stacked at 471,000. He’s followed by James Van Alstyne with 455,000. Ylon Schwartz (186,000), Chau Giang (149,000), and Gavin Smith (121,000) are also still alive. Get full chip counts here.

:: Event #22 ($1,500 NLH Shoot-Out): Pretty much a friends and family final field. See a list of Day 1 winners here.

:: Event #23 ($10,000 NL 2-7 Lowball Championship): A total of 96 entered and 60 made it to Day 2. Roland de Wolfe is the overnight chip leader, stacked at 186,000. Plenty of big names remain. However, not making it to Day 2 are Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, durrrr, Huck Seed, Scotty Nguyen, and the man who pwned this event for years, Billy Baxter. Get full chip counts here.
