1. Then in the fourth quarter of Game 2, Jordan rose for a right-handed layup, encountered the long-armed Sam Perkins, switched to his left hand and kissed the ball in off the glass on the other side of the rim. A spectacular move by Michael Jordan!” NBC play-by-play man Marv Albert said.
2. Unfortunately, in 1911 Chester Thorne lost the boat in a poker game with newspaper publisher Sam Perkins. Like a canoe it has a very shallow draught for its size, needing only four feet of water at the bow and less than five feet at the stern.

One of the more memorable days of poker we’ve covered ended with the final table decided for the third running of the MAIN EVENT at Crown Melbourne.

Midway through day two, David Chilcott had committed the last of his chips with his tournament life at stake, but he steadily climbed up the chip count to finish with the chip lead with 10 players remaining.

Play kicked-off at 10am this morning with 178 of the 445 starters returning in pursuit of one of the 54 spots in the money. The tone of the day was quickly established with the first 80 players eliminated at the rate of one every minute!

It took less than four hours of play to reach the bubble, with the pain of Guy Jones’ elimination tempered by the news that he would win a seat to the next MAIN EVENT later this year.

The final table was decided when Gerhard Niess shoved with A-Q and Andrew Dales called in the big blind, showing pocket 10s. Dales’ hand stayed in front as the board ran out J-J-6-4-4 to send Neiss to the rail in 11th place.

Day one chip leader Matt Nienhuys fell short of the money while players such as Andrew Dales, Daniel Keast, Luke Simpson and Amjed Slewa stayed near the head of the count for much of the day.

Connie Diakovasilis nursed a short stack for much of the day with semi-regular double-ups ensuring her a shot at becoming the first female MAIN EVENT champion.

However, the popular support will be with Mornington Peninsula player Jonathan ‘Jono’ Bredin (pictured) – with the help of a couple of friends handling the hole card and betting duties, the 22-year-old wheelchair-bound poker fanatic is fourth in chips and already assured a nice payday.

Join PMA tomorrow from 2pm for the final table action at MAIN EVENT III as the final 10 players set sail for the first prize package of $100,000, including Aussie Millions Main Event and MAIN EVENT IV seats and a stunning $5000 championship bracelet.

The WSOP organisers have inserted a rule into the regulations concerning the 2020 Main Event stipulating that all final players must pass a COVID-19 test.

This might sound obvious given the current climate but the reliability of such tests has been thrown into doubt of late. Elon Musk took four tests on the same day last week only to pass two and fail two, with no clear answer on his true state of health.

There is also concern about multiple players possibly being missing from either final table. What about the heads-up finale? It would be embarrassing to call that off on the eve of play having dragged a player from across the ocean to play only to disqualify them.

Up in the Air

When the WSOP 2020 Main Event was announced with an online-live hybrid format there were many skeptical voices. The current state of international travel is a complete mess, with no firm timetable for any improvement.

WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart said:

“There must be a world champion in 2020. Poker’s history is too important. It’s a unique format for the Main Event, but this is a unique year. We want to keep players’ health and safety top of mind and still deliver a great televised showcase for the game we love.”

Health being a particular noteworthy point. It’s all very well saying that any player testing positive will be disqualified, but unless a vaccine program starts soon we might find ourselves short of players.
