Jason Senti November Nine Interview
Jul 22nd
Jason Senti was one of the chip leaders when play ended on Day 7 with only 27 players remaining. His chip stack for the better part of Day 8 remained in the 13-15 million neighborhood until play was down to just 10 players. Things weren’t going so well for Senti but he was able to use a proper shortstack strategy to finally make it into poker’s elite. When play resumes at the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event in November, Senti will hold the smallest stack at 7.63 million. Success, however, is nothing new for Senti as he’s already been making a good living playing online poker for the last few years.

A popular instructor at Bluefire Poker, Senti has a stack of just 7.63 million, one-ninth of Jonathan Duhamel ’s November Nine-leading 65.98 million.

Jul 13th
Those who were sweating their shorts stacks on the bubble had to wait an extra 90 minutes as tournament officials made the controversial decision to break for dinner only four slots shy of the money.
