Tournament Notes:
-- The winner of the “Seven-Card Stud World Championship” at the 2007 World Series of Poker is Chris Reslock. He
is originally from Chicago, IL. Reslock, now 58, lives and plays poker for a living in Atlantic City, NJ.
-- Before turning to poker for most of his income, Reslock was a licensed taxi driver. About ten years ago, Reslock
started playing $10-20 hold’em games in Atlantic City casinos. He started making more money at the poker table than
as a driver. So, with confidence he could make it as a pro, he quit driving and started to play poker full-time.
-- Reslock’s breakthrough tournament win was in 2003 at the “Showdown at the Sands” in Atlantic City. In 2005, he
won the WSOP Circuit championship at the Atlantic City Showboat (good for $335K). That event was televised by
ESPN. With the win, he qualified to play in the 2006 Tournament of Champions in Las Vegas. He took fourth place in
that tournament (netting $150,000), which was filled with former champions. Reslock won his first WSOP gold bracelet
after finishing in the money four times. First place paid $258,453.
-- The runner-up was poker superstar Phil Ivey. He fell just short of capturing his sixth WSOP gold bracelet. This was
Ivey’s 26th lifetime cash at the WSOP. At age 31, he is the youngest player to reach that mark in WSOP history.
-- David Oppenheim finished in third place. He is noted for playing in the highest cash games in the world.
Considering the stiff competition Reslock faced in this event, his victory is all the more impressive.
-- The first female player to make a final table appearance at the 2007 WSOP is Oriane Teysseire. She is from Paris,
France. She finished in 7th place.
-- Marco Traniello is fast becoming one of poker’s elite. He cashed yet again in this event and become the first player
to make it to two final tables at this year’s WSOP. He finished ninth in the pot-limit hold’em championship four days
ago. A surprising fact: Now with 13 cashes since the 2005 WSOP, he has finished in-the-money more times than any
other poker player in that same period.
-- Jerrod Ankenman finished in 10th-place in this brutally tough field. It was Ankenman’s second cash so far this year.
Ankenman is noted for being the co-author of “The Mathematics of Poker” along with two-time gold bracelet winner Bill
Chen.
-- The 13th-place finisher was Thor Hansen, originally from Norway. With this cash, he jumped up into 18th-place on
the all-time lifetime cashes list. Hansen now has 35.
-- Johnny Chan moved up in 16th-place all-time (cashes) with his 18th-place showing. However, a much-anticipated
Chan-Ivey final table did not materialize.
-- The crowds inside the Rio to watch all three days of this star-studded event were most likely the largest crowd
collectively to ever assemble for a seven-card stud tournament. Several thousand poker fans took turns along the rail
to star gaze and watch poker history being made.
-- Maureen Feduniak has certainly paid her dues as a poker tournament player. She has entered countless WSOP
events over the past decade. She came close to winning her first gold bracelet last year. Feduniak put up a noble
fight in this event and ended up as the 17th-place finisher.
-- The final table was played on the ESPN stage, which has been deemed the “poker arena.” However, after five
straight nights of filming, the cameras were turned off. That did not dampen the spirit of the competition as a large
crowd assembled to watch most of the final table competition.
-- This event has become the de facto “Seven-Card Stud World Championship.” It is the highest buy-in stud event in
the world. It attracts the toughest field of any competition, by far. It is a World Series of Poker attraction. Now and
henceforth, it shall be the official world championship of the game.
-- Speaking of the WSOP’s official website, a new feature debuted tonight. WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack writes
“The Commish’s Corner” – a personal blog that will chronicle his views of the biggest and most prestigious sporting
event on the planet. Pollack’s vision has piloted poker into its next sonic boom and his forthcoming comments should
prove insightful and interesting. The Commish’s Corner can be found at: http://www.worldseriesofpoker.

EVENT #11 – CHRIS RESLOCK
The winner of the “Seven-Card Stud World Championship” at the 2007 World Series of Poker is Chris Reslock. He is
originally from Chicago, IL. Reslock, now 58, lives and plays poker for a living in Atlantic City, NJ.

table than as a driver. So, with confidence he could make it as a pro, he quit driving and started to play poker full-time.
The longer story of how Reslock changed careers is near-legendary. Unsure as to whether he could make it as a pro
poker player, Reslock planted his taxi in the parking garage at one of the big casinos – a sort of insurance policy that
in case things did not work out, the cab was always there to pay the bills. The taxi sat in the garage for a week. Then,
a month passed. Then, several months passed. Reslock never even bothered to go back to the casino to see if the
car had been towed. Given that he has won over a million dollars in tournaments, and acquired a fair sum from cash
games as well, don’t expect Reslock to be behind the wheel of anything other than a luxury car from now on.
Reslock’s breakthrough tournament win was in 2003 at the “Showdown at the Sands” in Atlantic City. In 2005, he won
the WSOP Circuit championship at the Atlantic City Showboat (good for $335K). That event was televised by ESPN.
