Play slows down at World Series of Poker, seven Canadians still in the field
July 14, 2008
LAS VEGAS — Play slowed considerably at the World Series of Poker on Saturday, as the top tier of the field held powerful chip stacks and enough rounders had been eliminated to let players be more picky about their hands.
Some players used the breathing room to tighten their play and only play pots with good starting hands. Others used the extra chips to play more hands, driving up action and leading to big pots for players holding less-than-stellar hands.
Thomas (Thunder) Keller, who won a gold bracelet at the world series in 2004, cracked an opponent’s aces and doubled his stack with a king-10 when the fourth and fifth community cards gave him a straight.
