Jul 26th
Several Team PokerStars pros tried their hand tonight at breaking thru the 17,281 player field of the $1 Million Turbo Takedown but only a handful would break into the top 5,000 to claim a little money.

Jul 18th
As play approached the Day 8 dinner break in the 2010 World Series of Poker ( WSOP ) Main Event, players were dropping like flies.
Final 27 Set at 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event
Jul 17th
After Day 7 concluded, the World Series of Poker ( WSOP ) Main Event was down to just three tables. What was once a sea of poker tables amid dreams of hitting the third largest prize ever awarded is now down to just a select few. At the beginning of the day, there were 78 players hoping to chip up and make a run at the November Nine. On a day where players came in with massive stacks and looked to chip up, many felt the violent swings of poker variance. People in the chip lead found themselves crippled and ultimately busted out, while others went on runs of a lifetime. Play lasted five levels for nearly 12 hours of poker and concluded last night at 11:00pm PT, well sooner than most of the people in the room expected. Our chip leader heading into the final 27 players is California poker pro Joseph Cheong , who lives in La Mirada, California and goes by the online moniker “ subiime .” He has a psychology degree from the University of California at San Diego and at 24, is looking to leverage his 24.49 million chip stack all the way to the final nine players. The word on the rail is that he took all of his own action in this one, meaning if he takes first place, he won’t have to share the $8.94 million prize with anybody
