Can the Right MUSIC help you win at Texas Holdem Poker?
How many times have you seen a poker pro experience a bad beat and immediately place the earphones of their MP3 or IPod Player on?
Dozens, hundreds, maybe even more?
If you think they are listening to AC DC, Big & Rich, Lynard Skynard, or the Steve Miller Band, you would be wrong. They are listening to psychologically congruent music that has been proven at a leading University to improve their concentration & poker game.
This is probably the one secret that the pros hope amateurs players don’t discover. They would much rather you listen to the popular music of today, that has been proven to have and adverse effect on your concentration and your poker game.
Listen, I understand that this sounds to good to be true, put I accidentally got my hands on a track of this music when I stumble on a website called OnlinePokerU.com. I assume the U. stands for University.
I can not begin to express the difference listening to this music has made on my game, both offline and online. What kind of music is it? It is indescribable. It is like a combination of house & chamber music; you may still be able to hear a sample at http://www.OnlinePokerU.com.
Anyway, pay attention to this. I predict that in the future you will see more and more research and information on this subject, even though the pros are trying to keep this secret for their self.
Whatever you do, don’t play the popular music of today when playing Texas Holdem or any Poker game online or off line. Avoid this temptation. No matter what you feel, this music is not helping your game.

Phil Ivey comments on the No Limit Holdem 6 Handed event. Please tune in to www.tv.pokernews.com for all the latest updates in the highest video quality.
Event #52 of the 2010 World Series of Poker was the ,000 No Limit Hold’em Six Handed Event. The high buy in meant that numbers would not be too high and only 191 players registered with 122 of them eliminated during the first day of play. The 69 remaining players was further whittled down to just 18 for the start of day three and those 18 had to be reduced to six for the final table. Day three finished when the final table of six was reached and play began again on a fourth day where the winner would be found. The final table of six looked as follows:
Dan Kelly – Event #52 Winner
Dan Kelly 5,895,000
Frank Kassela 2,610,000
Shawn Buchanan 2,110,000
Jason Somerville 1,665,000
Mikael Thuritz 1,535,000
Eugene Katchalov 475,000
Not surprisingly, Eugene Katchalov was the first player to leave the final table. His small stack meant that it was inevitable that it would not be long before he was all in. This happened in a hand against Dan Kelly pre-flop. Katchalov had a pair of sixes (6d-6c) while Kelly had Qd-Js. The flop came Qs-4c-3s allowing Kelly to take the lead with a pair of ladies. The Jh on the turn further strengthened Kelly’s position and the 4s on the river sent Katchalov to the rail in 6th place with prize money of 4,559.
A pre-flop raise of 125,000 from Dan Kelly saw calls from Mikael Thuritz on the button and Jason Somerville from the big blind. The flop came 9c-4h-Jh and both Somerville and Kelly checked. However Thuritz decided to place a bet for 220,000 to which Somerville folded. Kelly decided to raise to 600,000 to which Thuritz’s answer was to go all-in. Kelly called with 5h-6h in his hand. Thuritz had As-Js. The 7c on the turn gave Kelly more outs but when the river produced another heart (8h), Kelly had the flush and Thuritz was out with a 5th place finish taking 2,084 with him.
Jason Somerville moved all in after an opening bet of 140,000 from Frank Kassela. Shawn Buchanan re-raised all in and Kassela folded his hand. Somerville had As-Jh while Buchanan was holding Ad-Ac. The board ran out Kc-5c-4d-5h-Kh and Buchanan held strong. Somerville took the 4th place spot and a whopping paycheck of 6,125 to go along with it.
With a completion from Shawn Buchanan from the small blind, Frank Kassela checked from the big blind and the flop came Qd-4c-3h. Buchanan checked, Kassela bet 80,000 and then Buchanan raised to 260,000. Kassela re-raised to 710,000 to which Buchanan called. The turn saw 10d and this was checked by Buchanan but Kassela bet 1,000,000 and this was followed by an all-in from Buchanan. Kassela called and revealed Qc-3d. Buchanan had 5h-6c. Although Kassela had two pair, Buchanan had an open ended straight draw. The river was made for Buchanan when 2s appeared and it sent Kassela out of the game in 3rd place with prize money of 6,053.
Heads up play was between Dan Kelly and Shawn Buchanan with Buchanan slightly ahead in chips. However Kelly fought back and soon took the lead. The final hand saw an opening bet of 200,000 from Dan Kelly from the button which was met by a raise to 650,000 from Buchanan after which a four bet to 1,425,000 was made by Kelly. Buchanan then moved all-in and this was called by Kelly. Their cards were revealed with Buchanan holding a pair of Jacks (Js-Jd) and Kelly having Ac-10d. The flop came down 6s-4s-3d and kept Buchanan out in front. The 5h on the turn gave Kelly some outs for a draw but when the Ad appeared on the river, the tables had turned and Kelly’s pair bested Buchanan’s. So Buchanan was eliminated from the game in 2nd place. He picked up a staggering 2,941 for his efforts.
But the winner of event #52 was Dan Kelly who not only picked up his first ever WSOP gold bracelet, he also picked up prize money of ,315,518. Not bad for a twenty one year old. So congratulations to the champ of event #52 – Dan Kelly!

Event #53 of the World Series of Poker was the ,500 Limit Hold’em Shootout. The first day began with 548 players but that was down to just 64 by the end of day one. The final table would hold eight players and day two took care of eliminating 56 players from the event. The start of day three saw the eight players named as follows:
Brendan Taylor – Event #53 Winner
Ben Yu
Brendan Taylor
Brian Tate
Jonathan Little
Joseph McGowan
Michael Schneider
Sijbrand Maal
Terrence Chan
It took almost three and a half hours of play on day three before the first player was eliminated from the final table. After an opening raise from Jon Little, Terrence Chan re-raised to which Little four bet and then Chan made the call. The flop came 3c-Jh-8d and Chan found himself all-in with a pair of sevens (7c-7h). Little showed Ad-Ah and had the lead. As soon as Chan saw the Aces in Little’s hand, he left the table before the Qh on the turn and As on the river were revealed. His 8th place finish gave him a payout of ,961.
A four bet from Brian Tate before the flop was called by Sijbrand Maal. The flop came 8d-10d-Ah and Tate bet again. Both players began raising and re-raising and then the turn came Qs. Tate bet again and Maal then went all-in. Tate called with Ac-Qc giving him two pair. Maal on the other hand had Qd-Jd and although he only had one pair of ladies, he was drawing for a flush. It didn’t come on the river and Maal was sent to the rail in 7th place with prize money of ,215.
6th place went to Michael Schneider who with a short stack, went all-in pre-flop after a raise from Ben Yu on the button. Yu called and showed 7c-9h while Schneider had 3d-3h. The flop came Qh-Qs-9s and Yu had the lead. The turn Jc and river 5c were no help to Schneider and he was out taking ,563 with him.
Brian Tate three bet from the small blind after a raise from Brendan Taylor. Taylor called and the flop came Jc-3h-9c. Tate bet again and Taylor called. After the turn 6h, Tate went all-in and Taylor called. Taylor had Jc-Qs and his pair of Jacks put him in front of Tate who had As-Qh. The only thing that could help Tate now was an Ace but the river disappointed with a 10s and Tate became the 5th place finisher with a paycheck for ,276.
Next to go was Joseph McGowan who was up against Brendan Taylor with both men raising and re-raising before the flop 9s-2d-9d. Taylor bet again after the flop with McGowan raising and then Taylor calling. The turn 6h led to McGowan going all in with Ad-4d. Taylor had a pair of fives (5s-5h). McGowan got no help from the river 8c and took to the rail in 4th spot with prize money of ,546.
Jonathan Little was all in before the flop against Brendan Taylor with As-Qc in his hand. Taylor had Qh-5h. The flop was better for Taylor when 5d-2c-Kd appeared. Little needed an Ace but it did not come on the turn Jh or the river 6c and he left the game in 3rd place with a check for ,218.
So Brendan Taylor went head to head with Ben Yu for the top prize. Taylor was leading the chips by more than two to one and heads up play did not go on for longer than fifteen minutes before the final hand was played. Yu had all his chips in the pot before the flop and Taylor called. Taylor tabled Ad-7d while Yu had Ac-9h. The flop came Kc-7s-Jd and gave Taylor a pair of sevens. The turn 4s and river 4c did not help Yu and he was eliminated in 2nd position taking 4,484 in prize money with him.
So Brendan Taylor became the winner of event #53 having outlasted 547 other players to claim the top prize of a coveted gold bracelet and prize money of 4,950. So congratulations to Brendan Taylor!

Marcel Vonk – Event #54 Winner
Marcel Vonk 2,253,000
Henrik Tollefsen 1,878,000
Nathan Jessen 990,000
Matthew Lupton 973,000
Dustin Dorrance-Bowman 794,000
Mehul Chaudhari 789,000
Paul Kerr 784,000
Espen Moen 443,000
Paul Kerr went all-in pre-flop after a bet of 66,000 from David Peters which was called by Henrik Tollefsen. Dustin Dorrance-Bowman decided to make the call after a long think while both Tollefsen and Peters folded their hands. So the two players turned over their cards with Dorrance-Bowman having 10h-10c and Kerr with Ah-Qd. When the flop came 5s-4c-As, the lead flipped to Kerr. The turn 9s and river 9s couldn’t put Dorrance-Bowman back in front and Kerr’s hand gave him the pot while Dorrance-Bowman had to settle for a 9th place finish and prize money of ,286.
Next player out was Espen Moen who went all in and was called by David Peters. The cards were tabled and Moen had 3d-3h while Peters had 5c-5h. The board came 9d-As-10d-6c-Ah and Peter’s pair of fives was enough to eliminate Moen with an 8th place finish and a check for ,020.
A double elimination saw two players leaving at once. After a raise to 100,000 from Marcel Vonk, Medhul Chaudhari went all in and was re-raised all in by Matthew Lupton. Vonk made the call and the cards were tabled:
Vonk – Qs-Qd
Lupton – Ad-Kh
Chaudhari – 4d-4s
The board ran out Jc-8s-10d-8c-6s and Vonk’s pair of ladies took the pot. Because Chaudhari had fewer chips than Lupton, he took 7th place with prize money of ,633 and Lupton was 6th picking up a paycheck for 3,061.
The next elimination saw David going all-in pre-flop with Henrik Tollefsen making the call. The cards were tabled and Tollefsen showed As-Qh while Peters had Kh-10s. The flop 2s-10h-Jh gave Peters the lead with a pair of tens and when another ten appeared on the turn (10d), Tollefsen knew his time was up. The 7c on the river just confirmed that and he took 5th place and a paycheck for 8,107.
Nathan Jessen moved all in from the small blind after a raise to 150,000 from Marcel Vonk. Vonk made the call and turned over Ad-Jh. Jessen had Kc-Qh. The flop 10s-4s-9s gave nothing to either player and Vonk was still ahead with his Ace. The Ah on the turn gave Vonk a top pair and there was nothing the river 7h could do for Jessen so he became the 4th place finisher and netted 6,818 for his efforts.
The next elimination saw David Peters and Paul Kerr seeing the flop 5c-Js-9s without a raise. However once the flop was seen, Peters bet 115,000 and Kerr called. The turn Qc led to another bet from Peters of 270,000 to which Kerr went all-in and was called by Peters. Kerr’s hand was Jc-6c while Peters had Qs-9d. The 9c on the river gave Kerr a flush but Peter’s had one better with a full house and Kerr ended this event with a 3rd place finish taking a check for 5,076 with him.
That meant heads up play got underway between David Peters and Marcel Vonk with both players almost even in chips. The final hand came just over two and a half hours later. At one stage during heads up play Peters had taken a huge chip lead over Vonk but a couple of big hands for Vonk saw him take the lead back. The final hand saw Vonk go all-in with a huge chip lead and Peters called. The cards were tabled with Peter’s having Ks-8c and Vonk with Ah-3h. The flop gave both players a pair when 7d-Ac-8h appeared but Vonk was ahead with two Aces. The turn was 4s and the river was 9d and Peter’s was out with a runner up position and 0,803.
So the winner was Marcel Vonk who took home a WSOP gold bracelet and a staggering paycheck of 0,960. Congratulations to the winner of event #54 – Marcel Vonk!
