Blind Raises Lead To Jannick Wrang-ling Some Chips
"All in and a call..." cried the dealer. Those words are not announced often this early in a tournament but when it does happen, there's a flurry of interest in what is happening. What had occurred was that on table 79 the player UTG had blind min-raised and UTG+1, Danish player Jannick Wrang had blind min-reraised while being lucky enough to pick up A♥A♣. With another player in late position picking up Q-Q, the two got heads-up with the pot sizeable enough that both players got their remaining chips in on a 10♣7♦4♠ board. Wrang's aces held on the 3♣ turn and 5♥ river, which gives him a stack of about 60,000. We are not sure how much more blind raising he will be doing from now on though.
Ja, vores helt egen bajawa har fået en rigtig god start! Lad os håbe dette lover godt for danskerne i dag.
WSOP 2009 dag 1B - Wrang med god start
Nyheden om Wrangs gode start fås i et lidt mere spændende format her: www.pokernyhederne.com/poker-nyheder/125/8423/wsop-2009-jannick-wrang/wrang-nu-griner-de-ikke-laengere-af-mit-straddle.html
Der er allerede 5 personer, der er bustede med A-A vs K-K eller lign. Det kræver en klasse spiller som Joe Sebok at undgå bustout på et sådant setup: twitter.com/joesebok
"Haha. Just ran Kings into Aces on all rag flop, turn, and river. Lost the minimum, I think. 25k from 30k starting. Nowhere to go but up! :)"
Finanskrisen har tydeligvist ikke ramt alle, LOL:

så er jeg igang med main event.. 1 mand ved bordet er ude.. Havde ikke spillet poker før.. Har ca 30 k og sidder ved orange bord 65 amazon room.."
Haha. Jannicks straddling fanger journalisternes opmærksomhed:
"Wrang Proves Us Wrong
Earlier we reported that Jannick Wrang had doubled up having min-reraised blind after the UTG player raised blind. We had wondered if this would continue, but in fact it has! Everytime the big blind is to his right, Tim Pughsley, the UTG player blind raises (currently to 200) and Jannick Wrang makes it 300 blind next to him. They have been doing it since the start of the day and have shown no sign of stopping just yet."
Læste også at Jerry Yang har spillet dag 1A og han havde været ude i kæmpebluf med et par ottere og var røget ned på 5k i chips efter det. Ved ikke om han er røget ud?
@ Filosoffen
Jerry Yang er ude. Han fik etableret et comeback på benene, men det holdt ikke til dags ende. Af danskere mistede vi desværre også Lars Hougaard, Søren Kongsgaard og Gert Andersen i går.
@Thingyman
Der var hvis noget med at Yang havde siddet til bords med Johnny Chan - Ved du om Chan klarede den til dag 2?
@ Filosoffen
Ja, det gjorde han, men han er shortstacked.
@ BewForMe
Desværre ikke. Jeg har ikke selv kunnet finde denne information blandt nyhedssider eller blogs.
