Josh played in Day 1d with Frank Ward from Pocomoke, who went out after a bad beat on the first day. Mike Maloney from Cambridge, Maryland was also eliminated on Day 1. Day 3 begins Monday, July 12th at the Rio in Las Vegas. 7,319 Players started the 2010 WSOP during 4 Day 1's. There were two Day 2's and the remainder will be played out until the final 9, who will return in November for the final table. Day 3 will start with 2,557 Players and has just under the average chip count. He has $65,000+- and the average chip stack is $80,000. During Day 2 Josh had built his stack to over $180,000 but took several big hits towards the end of Day 2. Strarting chips were $30,000. Day three starts at level 9. Blinds are $500/$1,000 with $100 antes. John LeCato from Quinby, Virginia made it to the end of Day 2, but was knocked out just before play ended. He had a pair of 6's and called a bluff from a guy who played 9 10 offsuit and spiked a 10 on the river to eliminate him.

1st Annual Delmarva Poker Championship Now History, Gordo Wins! |
UPDATE: 6/27 @ 6PM - Congratulations to Gordon Makenzie of Delmar for winning the 1st Annual Delmarva Poker Championship. It was finished in 14 hours of play. Day 2 is not needed. The DPC was a $500 Buyin ($450 towards the prize) with $50,000 in starting tournament chips. Only 29 Players started the event, the first player was knocked out after 4 1/2 hours of play. Then at 12 Midnight, the final four, facing blinds of $15,000/$30,000 agreed to a chip proportionate chop after the sponsor agreed to ending the event in one day. At 6PM they were down to 19 players, at 8:30PM they were down to 10 players. All agreed to get as much play in as possible, which they did ending as follows: Gordon Makenzie took 1st Place and $5,400; Rick Niblett was 2nd and took home $2,900 and Scott Palmer and Chad Gravnor each took $2,375. Chip counts as follows: Gordon at $640,000, Rick had $355,000 and Scott and Chad each had $240,000.
Althought this tournament had below average expected attendance, the players seemed to enjoy the format and the starting chip count. Only 12 of the original 26 reserved seats showed up. 13 Players won their seats through low cost satellites, including two of the final four (Rick and Chad). 4 other players bought in the morning of the event. This was only the second $500+ charity poker tournament held on the Eastern Shore in recent years. The state of the Delmarva Charity Poker Scene hangs in limbo as Delaware starts legal casino style games. There is still a place for charity poker on Delmarva as many Maryland and Delaware games are still scheduled throughout the rest of 2010.
Jeff Rantz and Bill King should be applauded for their efforts for Day 1 and the Salisbury VFW should feel proud to host the event. Although a Day 2 was planned for the Girdletree Firehouse, obviously it is not needed. The two sponsors together, the Salisbury VFW and the Girdletree Fire Company, along with the two Jeff's worked hard to bring you this event. Although low attended, the prize pool exceeded $13,000 and first place was posted at $6,525. Originally they offered only 3 places including 2nd of $3,915 and 3rd of $2,610, but to complete the tournament in one day with a chip proportionate chop was a fair deal to the final four players and the sponsors.
Both the Salisbury VFW and the Girdletree Fire Company would like to thank those 29 players in the Main Event and the almost 100 or so others who played the low cost qualifiers. With the change in the poker world, especially the charity poker scene, look for local charities to offer a wide varity of charity poker tournaments in the months ahead
