All Star Week Day 3: Challengers crank up the pressure
Jul 29th
by Chris Edge Last year the inaugural All Star week went right down to the wire, with both sides deadlocked at 17-17 going into the final match of the series. The Pros ultimately prevailed to come out on top 18-17 victors. Today the prospect of a repeat scenario seems as distant as ever, with the Challengers on Tuesday racking up a further four victories, surging them into an unprecedented 8-2 lead. In short, the Challengers have been running away with it. On Wednesday the Pros pinned their All-Star hopes on WSOP stalwarts Hevad Khan, Ivan Demidov, Joe Cada, Joe Hachem and Johnny Lodden to get their beleaguered campaign back on track. True to form however, it didn’t start at all well for the Pros.

WSOP Blog: Johnny Chan a chip leader after Day 1C of the 2010 WSOP main event
Jul 8th
In a week I’m going to look back and say that Day 1C was the day when the 2010 WSOP main event really began. A field of 2,143 players turned out for their first day of action and despite losing big names like Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan and Huck Seed, it was a day where the notables shined through especially one former main event champion.
WSOP From The Rail: Main Event Day 1c
Jul 8th
Catch up with the World Series of Poker main event on day 1c, where a former main event champ has a big stack. More than 2,300 players registered for day 1c, pushing the total number of players with one more “day one” to go at just under 5,000. If day 1d tops 2,000 players, this will be the second largest main event in history. At worst it appears this year will be ahead of last year’s field size. The big story out of day 1c is Johnny Chan, the two-time main event champion, who was second in chips with 164K.
