World Series of Poker

$1,000 No Limit Hold’em w/rebuys Part 1 (2008x7)

:

Prior to the start of the 2008 World Series of Poker, Bluff Magazine named five 21-year-old’s to watch and Jeff “YellowSub86” Williams was one of them. With a European Poker Tour title already under his belt many poker observers were counting on him having a big WSOP. Today will be the first chance for many poker fans to see Williams play as he is one of the nine players at the final table of Event #5 ($1,000 No Limit Hold’em w/rebuys). He’s joined by Alan Jaffray, Peter Gould and 2006 Main Event third place finisher Michael Binger. But the chip leader when the final table begins will be Michael Banducci. Making his run more impressive is the fact that Banducci had only one rebuy plus the double add-on in an event where multiple rebuys are common. In fact the 766 player field was responsible for 2,258 rebuys and add-ons pushing the prize pool to $2,894,094 with first place paying $636,736.
