Event #23 of the 2010 World Series of Poker is a six-handed limit holdem affair. As KingBorgo so eloquently stated about the last limit holdem event, these affairs can be a bit slower paced for the action fueled no-limit players. This $2,500 buyin event only attracted 384 patient, contemplative players. The $883,200 prize pool will be split between the top 36 players. Thirty-sixth will get $5,202 for their troubles while the winner will bank (or blow at the craps table) $234,065. No word if T.J. Cloutier is playing or not.
After one day of methodical play there are 122 players remaining in this event. Some notable names near the top of the chip counts include Justin Bonomo currently 5th, no word if he managed to get more than one entry. Full Tilt Poker pro, author, and TiltBoy Phil Gordon in 15th. Erick Lindgren around 30th. And Vitaly Lunkin hovering around 35th. There is much more slow paced action and min raising in store on day two.
