2009 World Series of Poker – Day 7
The 2009 WSOP Main Event concluded Day 7 as they played all the way down to three tables. The 64 players who started play on Day 7 were already guaranteed $90,344 in prize money and after 12 days and 60 total hours of tournament play, all 27 finishers are guaranteed at least $352,832 in prize money.
This was the 47th day of the 2009 WSOP and only one more days play remains before we know the November Nine. This will see the end of the WSOP until it resumes in London this September where four gold bracelet events played at WSOPE.
Following 2009 WSOP champion Peter Eastgate’s elimination in Day 6, no former world champions remain alive in the Main Event. At the start of play on Day 7, six former WSOP gold bracelet winners were still alive in the Main Event. They included: Phil Ivey (7 wins), Tom Schneider (2 wins), Antonio Esfandiari (1 win), Blair Rodman (1 win), Jordan Smith (1 win), and Prahlad Friedman (1 win).
Next, at Level 30, blinds will be 50,000-100,000 with a 10,000 ante. The average stack size is currently 7,215,556.
Only one female started the day still in contention. Leo Margets (Barcelona, Spain) began play ranked in 18th place. She survived and is currently in 26th place. Margets will need to make a big move on Day 8 to make the November Nine. Only one female in history has made it to a Main Event final table – Barbara Enright in 1995.
Darvin Moon remains as the chip leader after seven days of play. He lives in the small eastern Maryland town of Oakland. Moon owns and operates a small logging company with other family members. Most of his days are spent in pine forests scattered throughout the Maryland panhandle. He is married and was cheered on by his wife, who was sitting in the crowd. This is Moon’s first time to play in the WSOP. It was also his first time to visit Las Vegas.
