Beef Jerky Party Packs Aplenty!
If you haven't heard about it by now, the World Series of Poker is sponsored by Jack Links Beef Jerky. Right when the tournament started the tournament announcer got on the horn to let everybody know about an amazing promotion.
Any player that took down a pot with four jacks would win a $100 Beef Jerky party package! The room buzzed as players discussed the joy and glory that $100 in dried beef would bring if they were lucky enough to pick up four jacks.
Some wondered if it would even happen. Well, it only took about ten minutes to find out the answer to that question.
With four jacks on board, two players at table blue 32 were lucky enough to each earn $100 worth of beef. We're not sure what they plan to do with their newfound beef bankroll, but if they use good beef management, they'll have jerky for quite some time.
[ ] Amazing Promotion
So players ante up $10k to play the tournament and the best they can do is $100 worth of Beef Jerky... thats a joke.

hellmuth, wat a moron
Some controversy has erupted just before the break on Glen Chorny's table. Chorny limped in from middle position before a late position player raised it up to 800 to go. The blinds folded and suddenly the dealer dropped the deck, pushed the pot to the late position player and mucked his cards as Chorny was sitting there with live cards! The floor was called over to make a ruling and the lead supervisor had to be called. At this point Chorny said that he was happy to forfeit the pot but wanted his 300 chips back that he had put into the pot. The table appeared to be satisfied with this arrangement but the lead supervisor ruled that you need live cards in order to receive the pot. It was ruled that the late position player would receive his 500-chip raise back, however the 300-chip call would stay in the pot which was then given to Chorny. Everyone at the table disagreed with this ruling as it was dealer neglect which caused the problem in the first place. However they were reminded that it is a player's responsibility to protect his cards at all times and unfortunately his ruling stood, much to the surprise of an apologetic Chorny.
Boo boo in your post.

World Series of Poker Presented by Jack Link's Beef Jerky - Official Tournament Coverage and Results -
Unfortunately the Amazon Room was not immune to controversy either. Players who drew table 90 in the orange section arrived to find they had drawn the same table as Phil Ivey and would be moved to a feature table. When Ivey arrived he insisted he did not want to be at a feature table and his request was honored. The other eight players were more than a little irritated since playing at a feature table entitled them to about $10,000 in sponsorship money from various companies as well as the chance to be part of the broadcast.
Not wanting to be at a feature table did not stop the cameras from converging on Ivey's table. He was eating when they showed up and he asked that they not film him while he was eating, causing the cameras to leave and not return until after the dinner break.
Durrrr Degeneracy
As most people know Tom 'durrrr' Dwan loves getting involved in any action he can find - whether it be while playing or away from the table.
Currently in the second hour of a massage, Dwan started ordering drinks once returning from the break . . . and hasn't stopped.
Recently he challenged fellow high stakes online player Matthew Marafioti to a drinking prop bet that revolved around Marafioti putting down ten shots of Patron in 15 minutes without throwing up.
If he succeeds then Dwan will pay him $5,000, but if he doesn't then he owes Dwan the same amount.
The shots have been ordered, delivered and are now waiting patiently on an adjacent table.
Stay tuned for the result . . .
Worried Tournament Director?
With Matthew Marafioti accepting the bet he has already began taking the Patron.
One Tournament Director came over and expressed his concern at the potential of Marafioti being sick on the floor and resulting in a table move and a very substantial disturbance to play in the Miranda Room.
Tom Dwan however comforted the Tournament Director a little when he confirmed that he would donate $5,000 to the charity of the Tournament Director's choice, and in his name, if Marafioti happens to be . . . sick.
The score board at the moment . . . 7 shots down, 3 to go, and all done in just 4 minutes so far!
Game . . . Set . . . Match?
It took 11 minutes and 41 seconds for Matthew Marafioti to finish all ten shots, but the real question is whether or not he can keep them down.
With just under an hour remaining in the day, you would expect Marafioti to quiet down and try and keep fairly reserved so as to win the bet.
However Marafioti has sparked up even more, chatting more and more to the table and especially Tom Dwan . . . even calling him a fish at one point.
"Fish, fish, fish, nit, fish, fish" he stated as he pointed from seat one (Dwan) around the table back to him.
Marafioti is handling himself in the poker department fairly well at the moment with 61,500 in chips in comparison to Dwan's 21,600 - hopefully he can hold onto them . . . and the Patron as we wind up play for the night.
Up $5,000 But On The Move!
Matthew Marafioti didn't need to last the remainder of the level, but only 15 minutes after taking the last shot.
With Tom Dwan just confirming that he succeeded in completing the prop bet, and now $5,000 richer, Marafioti, Dwan and the rest of the table were presented with some bad news.
They're table is about to be broken, and consequently Marafioti will have to depart the table of fun and drinking to relocate somewhere in the Miranda Room.
Hopefully now Dwan won't have to pay up the Tournament Director charity freeroll that he gave, as most know that motion and lots of alcohol don't fair too well!
Escort For Marafioti
We are (kind of) unsure why Matthew Marafioti has been escorted out of the Miranda Room and down the halls of the Rio.
It is understandable that Marafioti has been a little loud and rowdy of late, but there was no reason why he was removed from the tournament.
Yes he was slurring his speech (a lot) and being (very) rowdy, but let the kid play some cards!
We'll find out what really happened when we get a chance.
Marafioti Going Home
The story is that Matthew Marafioti was awarded a penalty for using the F-Bomb and after coming to the conclusion that he was not in the best state he decided to go home.
Tom Dwan gave the Tournament Director a couple of $100 bills to make sure that Marafioti was 'delivered' home safely after being on the intoxicated side.
Dwan may be felling bad, but Marafioti will be returnin on Wednesday with over 56,000 in chips.
+1
Don't understand some people. Registration has been open for months and they wait until the very last possible moment? I know a lot want to play the last first day, but the gaming permit became threatened once they reached capacity and they were forced to turn away, first time in the 40yr history apparently.
Pollack should force a day draw upon registration. Whatever day you get, you get.
Or have registration close for all day 1's at the start of Day 1a
There was some guy that apparently misread his day and thought he was playing Day 1D instead of Day 1A... they said fortunately for him his stack made it through, but he will probably be severely shortstacked on day 2.
BOOM!
"All in and a call!" yelled the dealer over at table 240 in the Brasilia room. Mark Landgraf was all in holding :ac:qd against Alexander Yaroshetskiy's :ah:jh . With a dominating position in the hand, Landgraf improved to trip queens on the flop of :kh:qh:qs . Yaroshetskiy did pick up a royal flush draw though. The turn hit the:qc , giving Landgraf quads and leaving Yaroshetskiy drawing to only one out. The poker gods must have been looking down on Yaroshetskiy today because the :10h landed on the river giving him the royal flush! The table erupted and one player even fell back out of his chair as he was leaning back in it. Yaroshetskiy is now up to 240,000 and Landgraf dropped all the way to 14,300.
OMFG that's sick!
Hahaa... thats hilarious!
Barabino Chips Up
In a battle of the blinds, Rick Barabino put his opponent to the test for all his chips holding
His opponent in the big blind, however, was willing to put his tournament life on the line and called off his chips with
The board ran out
CPF 1 TIME"cheers:

You should go rail his FT with this shirt
Not as sick as last year, where a guy had quad Aces busted by a Royal to knock his ass out of the tourney.
