The Associated Press reports that play slowed considerably at the World Series of Poker today, as the top tier of the field held powerful chip stacks and enough rounders had been eliminated to let players be more picky about their hands. Tournament professional Gus Hansen was eliminated after calling an all-in bet from 23-year-old Jeremy Joseph holding only a straight draw. Joseph, a poker player from Buffalo, N.Y., held only an ace high, but it was good enough to end Hansen's tournament in 160th place, winning $41,816. After more than four and a half hours of play Saturday, 70 players had been eliminated, leaving 119 players competing and allowing the average stack to creep over 1 million chips. Chips have no monetary value, but show players where they stand compared to their opponents. One player will have to win all the chips in play to win the tournament and top prize of $9.12 million.
