PLEASE KEEP THIS THREAD FOR PICKS ONLY UNTIL THE WSOP HAS STARTED!!!

Any questions, comments etc should be in the other thread  (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=33612.0)

Rules:

One pick from each section plus 2 free choices. Please nominate a captain - this player will score you DOUBLE POINTS

All bracelet events count. Second chance and non bracelet events don't count.

Players score: 5 points for a bracelet, 3 points for a final table, 1 point for making the money. (in the heads up braclet, final table points will be awarded to those finishing 2nd thru 7th)

$20 entry fee to be sent to myself on Full Tilt or Pokerstars (both dino1980) by 7pm on May 30th. No exceptions! I don't want to be chasing around for missing entry fees. If you don’t have a Stars or Tilt account PM me and we’ll sort something out.

Distribution of prize money announced after we see how many entries we get. But likely to be <10 = winner takes all, 10-20 = top two, any more entries than that and it’ll be as close to 10% of the field as possible. If two players are tied on points we'll do countback on the number of bracelets won, then final tables, then cashes. If still tied then total money cashed for by the team members will be the next criteria.

When you score any points.. Edit your post by adding the points earned next to each player, alternatively if someone who doesn't fail at excel wants to keep a spreadsheet that'll work too.

Just a reminder that entries for this close at 7pm tonight and that anyone who hasn't paid me please do so before the end of event one. To anyone who edits their initial post after 7pm tonight please put a reason as to why you have. With the help of Linux we should have a spreadsheet in place for when the results start rolling in. With a total of 28 entries making a prize pool of $560. Paying top three me thinks, $300, $160, $100 sounds about right to me.

Looks like JR is well in the lead, two of his ponies at the FT of the 10k PLHE

Not a a bad start!!

I'm not far behind though bagging the first winner....

;)

OK - the spreadsheet has been done to show how the WSOP Fantasy Picks are progressing.

Thanks to AndrewT for use of last year's spreadsheet that he created, and I've bastardised for this year.  The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that the spreadsheet hasn't been updated yet with any results - but that will be changing very shortly.  Then it'll be a simple matter of keeping it up-to-date from then on.

;goodluck; all.


http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pgqJ1bVya92KqEtedEczEFQ&gid=1

n1 kin.  looks pretty ballin'.

I fuckin love spreadsheets me, good work

Poiints sent to Kinboshi so spreadsheet to be updated soon. The spreadsheet will only be updated once an event has finished so there will be some movement after the $5k mixed event for sure

I believe these are the scorers from the first two events if you spot anyone who i've left out please post.

Event 1:
Nenad Medic - 5 points
Kathy Leibert - 3 points
Patrik Antonius - 3 points
Eli Elezra - 1 point

Event 2:

Chris Ferguson - 3 points (double for AlunB and LittleMissC)
Kenny Tran - 1 point
Gavin Griffin -- 1 point (double for tighty)
Michael Binger - 1 point

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pgqJ1bVya92KqEtedEczEFQ&gid=1


(please PM me if there are any errors in the spreadsheet)

Good work guys.

Just noticed that in the spreadsheet you have my captain down as ZeeJustin, when it is in fact Allen Cunningham (see above).

Cheers,

Gazza

No idea what you are talking about... ;whistle;

Self bok IMO

When will the spreadsheet be updated?

I'll be sending Kin the results for events two through ten this lunchtime, so expect an update sometime this afternoon. Apologies for slackness.

My star man Micheal Binger is hitting some form and ready to crush it.

lets gogogogogogo.

Updaterised.

If anyone spots any errors, omissions, bugs or anything else - give me a yell.

E-Dog has catapulted Horneris into the lead, where he remains after Event 12.

Not the worst final table for my team in the 5kr 2-7 Lowball.

E-Dog (gtd 6 pts) has twice as many chips as 2nd, and The Bear is 4th. 7 left, final time.

Sorry but what language is this post in?

I will translate sir.

"My team did rather well in the $5,000 rebuy 2-7 lowball event.

Erik Lindgren (who has already secured 3 points for reaching the final table, and therefore 6 points for me as he's my captain - and their scores are doubled) is chip leader with twice as many chips as anyone else.  There are 7 players remaining and another pick of mine, Barry (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=478) Greenstein (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=478) is currently in 4th place.  I'm looking forward to this final table."

God bless you sir.....haven't felt that inadequate since sitting next to Chris Bjorin at a festival event

hahahahaahaha. lol Snatty.

I pleased my Captain Thor Hansen has decided to turn up at the Rio

Top man is Thor

Regards

M

I was wondering in the head ups tournament what counts as the final table? would this be the last two people left??

event 24 was a good one for my picks with jp and allen cunningham both in the final

I'm not sure what was done last year, but Kin raised this point in a PM and IIRC I said the final 8 would count as final table as in the other events 6/8/9 players make the FT so 8 seemed fairest.

I think I have seen it in other tournament league thingies that the last 8 count as the final.

My team of Negreanu, Lindgren, Matusow, Selbst, Pescatori and De Wolfe are doing well.

Ship it to BarryG!!! Update spreadsheet when you get back from Ireland plz Kin.

Will be sending Kin the scores at lunchtime and spreadsheet shall be duly updated.

Thanks Nick.

Updated.

If anyone spots any mistakes or omissions, drop me a PM :)up

Kin, according to the spreadsheet i've got 45 points, not 23.

What was the final prizes decided on ? Any chance of an update in next couple of days, how many events left to play ? Cheers

54 events in total AFAIK

Was starting to worry now ive been passed that id just fade off, but then E-Dog makes yet another Final Table :)

None other than the $50k Horse going in as chip leader.

BarryG is on the final too.

Lets gogogogo back to the MF Top.

FYI Mondatoo

Altho it says 28 entries at this point, and there is now 29. So $20 more on top.

Miss counted amount in thought it was 31 so wondered if 4th would get paid.

GL may my team win  :)up

Was at the Virgin Festival at the weekend so haven't had a chance to update. Will do so tonight so expect an update.

Is the main event going to count as double points??

No. But, the main event does cause a problem if, when they pause ,with nine left there is still a chance that the money positions in the fantasy table can change. That bridge will be crossed when we reach it as the likelehood of that happening is slim.

Wonder if its a question of any picks being in last 9 that you use chip stacks to do points? I guess its unlikely to be pro heavy but you never know, it is the "Year of the Pro"

That makes the most sense to me.

As long as it's decided before the ME starts, then it's all good.

Well as there are so many players in the main event and how difficult it is just to make the final table what could be done anyone who makes the final table scores 5 points???

Think you came 3rd yeah mate.

Will await confirmation from Kin.

I'm waiting for the scores from Dino1980 and then I'll add them to the spreadsheet.

Ok Cheers

Sorry Kin, I'm on deadline this week and haven't found the time to do ti. I'll get them done tonight at some point and then ship the cash via the same method the winners paid me.

No probs.  I haven't won, so there's no rush.

Spreadsheet is done.  I think there's been a mistake though, as me and Dino1980 didn't win.

Well done to Horneris and 77Dave who tied for first.
Congrats to mondatoo who finished in 3rd.
