===========================================================================

And we're underway!!

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=1 (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=1)

The first result is in and it's all a bit of a damp squib. Only Johnny Chan and Cyndy Violette cashed, so some people have a point. The Baron has them both and so surges into the lead with two.

Can it get any more exciting than this????

As ever, if you notice that I've missed anyone out, then do let me know.

And no, the Jimmy Chan who nearly made the final table is not JC Tran.

Roland has cashed in event 3 (although the tournament is still ongoing so not part of the 'official' results yet).

As you can see I spent my lunch hour productively today!

I was waiting for someone to post that.

Events are only entered once they've been completed, otherwise things could get messy.

Easy Easy!

The early pace is frightening.

Is anyone doing league standings at all.

I think I hav the grand total of 1 point.  ;tracet;

After 2 events

The Baron - 3
Micko, Snoopy - 2
Others - 1
Rest - 0

Update after 3 events.

There is no update - none of the selected players cashed.

ferguson      3pts

devilfish chip daddy 5k  omaha   min 3 pts



girly intuition early pacesetter.

At such junctures Snoopy normally posts this picture:

(http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/action_shot.jpg)

After the NL Holdem donkaments were mateyboy heaven, a proper tournament of Omaha High/Low and 7 Card Stud has finally given us some names.

David Benyamine, Annie Duke, Chris Ferguson and Josh Ariah all made the final table for 3 points and Cyndy Violette got her second cash of the WSOP so far for 1 point.

Sheriff Fatman, The Baron, DrDevious, Temp0r and Ripple 11 all have 4 points.

Seven people have 3 points.

Thirteen are still on zero (including The Camel)

andrew has set up the spreadsheet

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=1

i have 1 point thanks to Mr Raymer

On that note thank you Andrew for the spreadsheet, it looks really good and surely took a lot of work.


Thank you vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv much

See Devilfish went out in 3rd pretty sick hand lol.


He had   Js Th 9d 7s

Against  Ad Jd Tc 8h

On a  8c 6s 2s board

Was the stud not an 8 player final?  Ariah came 9th and bubbled the final I think....

Bing Bing Bong

*****STEWARDS ENQUIRY******

*ten minutes pass by*

Bing Bing Bong

'Following the Stewards Enquiry, Josh Ariah has been demoted from final table to a mere cash. The other placings remain unaltered.'

Huummmberttttoooooo - show me the money.

Seeing as there are no names on the final table of Event 8, I've updated for this now.

MPower, Jamier-Host, Flushy, Pffa - 6 points
Twelve people on 4 points

...

Karabiner, Alrightjack, Sharpy and Woodsey - Big Fat Zero

Ahaaa  but I have the big CL in tomorrow's $2K NLH final  ;karabiner;

PS Did Phil Helmuth not cash in an event lately ?

Hellmuth has cashed in Event 10, but we're only up to Event 9 in completed tournaments (and there's no full result for that yet on the Pokernews site).

Ship it.

congrats to pete costa and roland de wolfe for cashing in event 9

Ship!!

Well done to both of them - COME ON THE BRITS!

Looking again at the results for Event 8, I notice that Shaniac (Shane Schleger) made the final table (knew I should have made a note of his real name). This was good for Jen and RichD.

In Event 9, Roland De Wolfe was the only named cash.

Leaderboard.

PyrE, Mpower - 7
Pffa, RichD, Flushy, Djinn, Jamier-Host - 6

Four people are still on zero, but they all have Phil Hellmuth, who cashed in Event 10, and so will get off the mark when that tournament finishes.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=1

decided to drop this in to save clicking back in the thread - JC Tran looking good as a chip leader in one event. ZeeJustin a good pick for those that did. Looking forward to seeing all these players in person - bring on July...

Updated to Event 12

Really hotting up now, with a considerable number of big names making the money in Events 13 & 14, who will come into the results over the next couple of days.

Pffa - 14
The Baron - 12
Djinn, Janna - 10
RioRodent, Kinboshi, Bone 1986, Temp0r - 9

Events 13 & 14 added.

First bracelet for a featured player as Allen Cunningham wins the $5K PL Holdem event. Humberto Brenes, Barry Greenstein and Greg Raymer also final table, with Chris Ferguson, Mimi Tran and Scott Fischman cashing.

Pffa, Temp0r - 15
Crosscourtbh, Kinboshi, Mpower - 14
Noflopshomer - 13

Phil Hellmuth has made the final table in Event 15, so there's at least 3 points coming for him for both Pffa and Temp0r, so they're going to take some catching.

loads of time to be caught yet. Roland, goodwin isa and hachem all to make a rush at it with final tables to come for all of them.

<cough>

Sounds like you're coming down with something Kinboshi. Have some Lemsip.

(http://www.mypharmacy.co.uk/medicines/medicines/l/lemsip/lemsip_max_flu_lemon_pharmacy_2.jpg)

go phil go.

Just about everyone has Hellmuth so it won't actually make much difference.

i dont

but harry , joe and ram havent really started yet

is joe hashem even at the wsop this year?

infact is harry?

is the mob over there?

infact who is there i noticed elblondie was in walsall so he aint scoring just jet?

I've not seen Phil Laak mentioned yet either, he's probably been abducted by aliens....  ::)

Well if so many ppl have Hellmuth.



GO JOHN GALE GO JOHN GALE GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Elevenbraceletsaments.

Phil Hellmuth gets his eleventh WSOP bracelet and, more importantly, becomes the second player to get a big red five next to his name. Cashes for Liz Lieu, Cyndy Violette, Darrell Dicken and John Gale.

Leaderboard after Event 17.

Pffa - 21
Mpower, Temp0r - 20

thanks for setting the spreadsheet up Andrew, great stuff

as for elblondie, he's across the pond from now

Agreed. Big thank you to AndrewT  ;hattip;

'bout bloody time!!

Get some bracelets one oh Blonde one.

Well done Phil,   you can pay me later for the cheer leading section,

Why did i change Bonnomo for Little at the last minute!

Yes, I forgot about the '6 for the price of 1' entries that would come with picking him.  Definite missed value.

nah i went for the "choose the guy who just won $1m a week before the series" trick, he is probably too busy getting hammered every night.

Negreanu for Hellmuth here.  ;grr;

Thanks for doing this Andrew... I just couldn't be arsed to spend all the updating!!

One thing that has struck me... Noone has once argued withmy choices to put in the "annoying players" catergory! And I thought I was being controversial!!

Hi Keith,

I transferred my $20 across to you a week or two ago.

I will send you my "picks" soon.

I feel quite confident.

you can make your picks the day of the FT of the final event and still come last

Gawd.

Didn't realise you hadn't picked!

Think that means someone has picked and not paid... need to put my Sherlock Holmes hat on now...

He could, just could, be having you on......


or not.

Nah. Camel picks off my Bluffs every time. Except my A-4 in Deauville. He just can't seem to forget that one.

or give him the picks  of the unpaid??

i'm 2nd? sweet jeebus! whats the prizes for this shit again?! lol

Hope it was $40

Regards

M

It was, but to have said $40 would have caused more questions! You WERE paid in.

Three more events added.

Humberto Brenes gets his third final table of the WSOP, also final tables for Negreanu, Lindgren and Raymer, and the first cash in the Blondites section for JP Kelly.

Leaderboard after Event 21

Mpower - 25

Stuart Fox's final table was good news for Tightend, Snoopy and, unfortunately, Mpower, who increases his lead at the top.

See the snazzy new leaderboard. See how badly I'm doing.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=2 (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=2)

Good work squire :)up.

Lolaments @ Horneris's 4 points so far!  rotflmfao

Thanks for the updates

Best Regards

 ;kneelsucker;

Anyone know what happened to Praz ?? He made the final table then bust out in quick fashion when he had over $500k chips????

His opponent flopped a set, and Praz went all in on a complete bluff on the turn.

Three points for Phil Ivey, and one each for Praz, David Benyamine and Brandon Shaeffer.

Whilst, technically, Praz made the final table (as there was a table of ten), for the purposes of this competition the 'final table' is counted as the last nine in holdem events (as the tenth player is eliminated the day before the others and gets the same money as 11th and 12th).

My two free picks have let me down badly.

Are Berry Johnston and Men Ngyuen actually still alive and playing poker?  :dontask:

Just had a quick google and didn't find an obituary for either of them... perhaps they'll come good in the second half, when all the youngsters have burnt out!!

;D

That's when El Blondie is going to come into his own as well.  Hopefully. 

Jennifer Harman - when did she retire as well? :dontask:

When she check raised Sammi farha with middle set, on a rainbow board, for twice the pot- she effectively said i dont like winning money.

Id ask Camel if you can substitute.

Men Nguyen is currently doing well in the $1500 Seven Card Razz event.

any news on how JonMW is doing in that razz event?

Real name?

jon

He made it through the first day in good shape... 10700 chips.

His name is Jonathan Woodfield.

He he... while following JonMW's progress I noticed the Men was annoying everyone, taking inordinate ammount of time to make decisions... apperntly pissed as a fart!! But he's made the final table.  ;yippee;

do i get any points for Jon infact can i change my pick from joe "no show" hashem to jon

Events 27-30 Update

Final tables for Phil Hellmuth and Men Nguyen, with cashes for Juanda, Greenstein, JP Kelly, Jen Harman, Mimi Tran, Laak, Lindgren and El Blondie.

Mpower - 32
Kinboshi - 30
The Baron - 29
NoFlopsHomer, Flushy, Pffa - 28

Andrew/Keith:

In the heads up bracelet who *technically* makes the final table? Just the last two? The last four? The last eight?

It will depend on how far Andrew/Keith's players go in the tournament. :)

Seriously, I certainly hadn't thought about it. They played down to the final 64 yesterday, and that was the money, so that will count as a cash. I'm minded to treat the last 8 as a 'final table', as it's numerically closest to the nine that normally make it.

8 would be my usggestion its the same as for a stud game (ok more than a 6 handed game)

2 could also be a suggestion

(btw any of my players in last 64 if there is i might go for 32 or 16)

For the sake of ease.

whats the cash payout?

Events 31-34

Final tables for Negreanu and Shannon Shorr (last eight of heads-up). Cashes for Devilfish, Cunningham, De Wolfe, Hellmuth, Violette, Tony G, Paul Wasicka, Kevin O'Donnell and Erik Lindgren.

Leaderboard

Kinboshi - 36
Mpower - 35
Flushy - 34
Zzzzzrope - 33

Thanks again Andrew for keeping this whole thing updated  ;hattip;

Can we stop now?

:dontask:

anyone?

 :dontask:

Dunno - Keith was in charge of the money.

I would suggest 100% going to the person that finishes third from bottom with no one else getting anything.

Happy Now

Regards

M

Is Patrik Antonious still alive?!

He, and Berry Johnston have been kidnapped by space aliens... it's all over the news channels here.

My picks are resting building for a big come back.               Good luck Mr Colclough.

Well, I'm sorry to report that 'Mr Colclough' didn't score any points in today's yesterday's $1500 NLHE (Event 38)... how do I know this?? Because he was eliminated about 5 hands after I moved to his table, his AJ didn't improve against a small pocket pair - I forget now if it was 4's or 5's.

Oh, by the way is too late to swap myself for Berry Johnston, in Team Rodent???  ;D ;karabiner;

It's been quiet recently - no pick has made a final table for five events.

Kinboshi leads Mpower by three points.

Whats ya real name Rio?  I'll keep an eye out for you.

I notice blondes Jeff 'Jaffacake' Kimber is up with the chip leaders in that event also.

Good luck you 2

It's Alan Lake... but I should of added that I went out in 212th place (of 2787'ish)... but $3602 to the good!!!  ;D ;D

Congrats on the cash pal.

Bump

Updated to Event 44.

Fairly quiet recently - only Barry Greenstein has made a final table in the past twelve events, so no great movement.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=2 (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=2)

I think the lesson we've learned is to pick players who actually seem to care about winning bracelets (Patrik Antonius I'm looking at you).

Kinboshi - 39
Mpower - 38
Flushy - 37
Temp0r, Milkybarkid - 34

He cares just ist playin any of small events which is a disadvantage i have him too

Updated to Event 49

Final tables for Dutch Boyd and Roland De Wolfe. Cashes for twelve other players (with two for Michael Mizrachi).

Kinboshi - 46
Mpower, Temp0r - 43
Delboy - 40
Dino1980, Zzzzzrope, Neeko, Flushy - 39

Only six more events left. With the big names in it, the current PL Omaha tournament could shake things up if a few selected players make the final table. The next three tournaments are all $1K or $1.5K buy-ins, which are normally mateyboytastic, so points could be scarce. We finish with the $5K 2-7 Lowball (big names should do well) and the main event (anyone's guess) so can Kinboshi be caught?

I can guarantee it.  It'll be a runner, runner.

you seen how similar our teams are?

all i need is Negreanu to start donking his chips off to Madsen from now on and i might catch you. ;)

leaderboard:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9P8Z3P6kvuV9HuIEWvWMeA&gid=2

Very close.  I have Juanda and Negreanu, whilst you have Ferguson and Madsen.  Otherwise the same (great minds think alike or fools seldom differ?). 

Come on Kid Poker!! ;D

Ram wins Event 53.

Just two events left now. Kinboshi still leads Temp0r by three.

hascehm finally cashes now he has to win the main event for me to have any chance i also need the rest of my picks to make the FT

ps anyone know if harry D played this year i have a funny feeling he is boycotting after last years farce
that will teach me for not picking foxy

He has been playing, he's just boycotting cashing  ::)

tell him to get his finger out then

 :goodpost: ;iagree;

Is the main event double points or am I imagining that that is the case ?  ;booder;

Imagining it..

this comp is essentially all over now it's main event time.

good game boshi. ;)

wait... did anyone cash in the lowball main event? wasn't that today?!

There's still the rivercard to come - the fat lady's warming up, but she's not letting rip yet, not going to count my chickens before they've hatched, and any other clichéd saying that's relevant.


Andy Black cashed in the penultimate event.  I can't imagine m(any) picks getting anywhere near the final table in the main event, but I'm sure one or two will get points. 

Did Barry G

Make the final table in the last event

Regards

M

Think you might be right, but can only see these listed on the WSOP site:

 1.     Erik Seidel      $538,835
 2.    Chad Brown    $324,777
 3.    Shahram (Shawn) Sheikhan    $206,676
 4.    Lamar Wilkinson    $162,389
 5.    Andrew Black    $118,101
 6.    Kassam (Freddy) Deeb    $73,813
 7.    Todd Brunson    $51,669

Don't know why it doesn't show past the top 7 :dontask:

i so nearly picked chad brown instead of madsen aswell. :(

I have found Barry Greenstien made the Final Table as reported on Pokerpages  but did not make money
only 7 places were paid. So does Barry get 3 points for the Final Table?   



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

5 points for a bracelet, 3 points for a final table, 1 point for making the money

Regards

M

Triple Draw had a seven handed final table. Because of the number of runners, only the final table was paid. Therefore Andy Black got three points, and Barry Greenstein got nothing.

For the payout, I would suggest paying top five in a 50/30/20 percentage split. Which I think makes it 440/264/176 in dollars. Which means that probably any of these lot can still win some money.

Chad Brown Wins a 600,000 Pot
Andrew Black raises under the gun to 54,000, Lama Wilkinson calls, and Chad Brown calls from the small blind. Brown draws one card, Black stands pat, and Wilkinson draws one card. After the draw, Brown bets 200,000, Black calls, and Wilkinson folds. Brown shows 7-6-5-4-2, and Black mucks. Chad Brown wins the pot worth over 600,000 in chips.

Shuffle Up & Deal!
The final eight players take their seats and resume play with antes of 4,000 and blinds of 8,000-16,000. Shuffle up and deal!


This has been pulled off the WSOP presented by Milwaulkee's Best light website

So Barry Greenstein made the FINAL table

From the live update at Pokernews.


This is what I used. I'm not giving a player three points for winning nothing.

I would seem reasonable to me that a player has to first win one point before he may win three.  :dontask:

You make it up as you go along then duck.

Barry Greenstein made the final table in Event 54. It is a fact!

Way back in the WSOP there was the incident of the ten-handed Phil Hellmuth final table, when there was a 'final table' and a final table. Same thing applies here.

As in any competition, in cases where unusual circumstances mean the rules are unclear, the judge (which is de facto me) reserves to right to make a ruling he judges to be best in the spirit of the competition. Which is what I've done here.

I haven't had a look at your team Mpower, but it wouldn't happen to have Barry G in it, would it?

Cool, if there's already been a post about that then that's what we'll go with.

I think that no one could remember the details.

I still plan to enter, Keith. I promise not to look at results to date.

The scoundrel should be named and shamed at the very least.  ;nemesis;

I'm sure JC tran cashed. Can I have one more point please?    ;pokergods;

Edit: just checked he finished 493rd for about £25k

This looks like it's all over

Well done to Kinboshi and many thanks to Andrew T
for doing a grand job with the updates.

Cheers M.

Was expecting to be rivered:

It looked like Humberto was going to come good for you in the main event.

what was the prizepool for this fantasy thing? nice little payday i bet kin!

$20 each, 40-odd runners.  Not sure how it's being paid out - but it'll make up for a recent bad run and will be very welcome ;D

20 x 40= 800

1st  - 50%
2nd - 30%
3rd  - 20%

Not bad if the top 3 pays but might be top 5 if 40 runners, still nice anyhow, WD luckbox

Thats Poker. Barry G made the final table in event 54 thats what killed me.

i remember seeing the payout somewhere but i've looked through the thread and it aint here anymore! like i said i'm pretty sure it was top 4/5 because the amount weren't round numbers.

just realised the whole top 3 top 4 dealio doesn't matter really as me and delboy are tied 3rd.
