LA Poker Classic
The L.A. Poker Classic is currently taking place at the Commerce Casino. 1st prize up for graps is $2million. Every player reaching the final table wil get at least $257,00
Some big name pros are left like Chau Giang, JC Tran, Nick Shulman and Nam Le. Also some big internet stars are left in, such as Bodog Ari, and Strassa2.
At the end of Day 3 they have reached the money so they can all relax a little
During Day 3, as the bubble approaced (54 players get paid) the action slowed down considerably and it took almost two hours for ten players to bust out. Chau Giang entertained his table by telling gambling stories involving high stakes betting on a round of golf. He flew to Mexico with Bobby Baldwin, Phil Ivey, and Doyle Brunson. They played golf with NBA legend Michael Jordan for 50K per hole.
As we got right to the bubble the mood in the room was apprehensive with all eyes on Jimmy Sachindis tiny stack. He eventually pushed all in against Markus Stranzinger as a sea of media, floor staff, players, and railbirds hovered over their table. Although Sachindis held the dominant hand, Stranzinger flopped a five to seal Sachindis' fate as the Bubble Boy. The Aussie headed to the rail in 55th place as the remainder of the field advanced into the money. All 54 remaining players are guaranteed to win $22,780.
Some of the big eliminations on Day 3 included: Barry Greenstein, Erik Seidel, Minh Ly, Ted Forrest, and Steve Dannenmann
