The 2010 WSOP November Nine will mark their place in history and become instant poker celebrities, along with enjoying the perks of what promises to be high value endorsement deals.  Play began on July 17th at noon from the Rio at the World Series of Poker Main Event with 27 runners left in the world’s biggest tournament. The first big hand of the day came on the very first hand as Ronnie Bardah shoved on the button for 2.215 million with both the small and big blind folded.  On the first hand for Michael “ The Grinder ” Mizrachi, he 3bet Redmon Lee which elicited a fold and showed off pocket Kings. About 30 minutes into Day 7, Johnny Lodden , a Norwegian pro sponsored by PokerStars , moved in which amounted to 1.47 million.  He was looked up by Matt Affleck who flipped over A-T offsuit against Lodden’s pocket Eights.  The board came K-Q-2-T-7 which paired up Affleck and sent Lodden to the rail in 27th place for $317,161. The next casualty of the day was Matthew Bucaric who finished in 26th place.  On a flop of J-8-7 with two hearts, Bucaric got the money in with pocket Nines with one heart.  He was looked up by 8-6 with two hearts that made a flush on the turn and held up to send Bucaric out of the tournament. Mads Wissing came into the day playing some great poker but in the end, it was one great read and one horrible bad beat that took him out.  Wissing checked the big blind with T-8 with two spades and the flop came 6-3-T.  William Thorson , who had limped in from the small blind, check raised and was looked up by Wissing’s top pair as Thorson revealed J-3 for bottom pair.  The turn, however, proved fateful at Thorson spiked a Jack and improved to two pair which eliminated Wissing in 25th place
