Title: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 04, 2005, 11:58:24 AM This event, which sold-out at 2,400 runners, began yesterday (Friday) & incredibly, only 111 players survived the day. Dave is trying to get us the full list, but he tells me that......
Average chips right now is about 29k. Overnight Chip Leader is Dan Monroe, with 130,000. Mike Matusow has 104k, & Scott Fischmann 82k. Greg Raymer is hanging in there with 19k, & Hellmuth with 12k. Devilfish is lying handily with 62k, after busting out 2 players near the end of play, he was holding AJ. It appears that today's table draw & full list of chip counts will be available later, & if we can get Dave off the golf course/away from the bar, we will bring them to you.

Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 04, 2005, 03:18:07 PM Text in from The Blonde One, with a bit more info......
".....Of the 111 players still in, these seem to be the sole surviving Brits....... Dave Ulliott 54k. Matthew Fletcher, 26k Paul Westley, 8k......". Not the UK's best day at the WSOP, but we still have chances. 9th place gets around $50k, & the winner a mouth watering $700,000+. Very nice too...... The total Prize pool was an amazing $3,000,000. There are clearly going to be some whopping numbers this year at the WSOP! I don't know either Matthew Fletcher or Dave Westley - anyone out there got any info on them? Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 12:24:02 AM Paul Westley went early, 108th for $3k, & Devilfish is struggling with a short stack. No news on Matt Fletcher.
There are about 65 left. This will be a 3 day jobbie, & they play down to the Final table of 9 today. Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 03:11:34 AM Down to about 40 now. Average stack is around 84k. Devilfish has staged a remarkable comeback, he's on 130k. Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 03:13:32 AM Blinds are 4k-8k, running ante 1k. Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: ifm on June 05, 2005, 03:21:33 AM lets hope we have another British victory after Ricky Hatton just won the world title.
Come on the fish Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 10:38:50 AM Devilfish Finals!
The Final Table for Event # 2, the $1,500 NLH, is, in seat order,..... Richard Bootwell $206,000 Scott Fischman $707,000 Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott $277,000 Allen Cunningham $728,000 C Huff $509,000 Randy Edmunson $89,000 Can Cim Hua $440,000 Liz Lieu $177,000 An Tran $337,000 Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 10:43:38 AM Phil Hellmuth exited 24th, his 6-6 overtaken by Liz Lieu's K-Q. The Great Man was not best pleased that Liz called with KQ. Could be something to do with the fact Liz is, err, female.......
Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: redsimon on June 05, 2005, 12:59:08 PM Interesting that in such a large field (second biggest in WSOP history) that so many class players are in the final. Several bracelet winners. Goes to show class will out I guess :)
Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 01:09:43 PM Good point Simon.
But, on balance, that has not been the case ("class will show") in Europe this year in the bigger events. Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: Ironside on June 05, 2005, 01:48:54 PM Good point Simon. But, on balance, that has not been the case ("class will show") in Europe this year in the bigger events. what you talking about the 2 class players in europe are doing well this season elblondie is top of the billy hills player of the year rankings and ironside WON the internationals irish tourny i say the cream is floating on the top Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 02:27:32 PM That's only ONE class player. Surely you are not going to accept that a Welshman is as good as a wee Scottish person?
Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: Jamier-Host on June 05, 2005, 02:56:50 PM Got some odds up now if anyone is interested Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 03:15:15 PM Which we can find where..........?
Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: ariston on June 05, 2005, 03:25:12 PM We having a blondites last longer type bet? Or maybe odds on which one of us will get furthest available on bluesquare?
Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: Jamier-Host on June 05, 2005, 03:53:05 PM The odds are in the specials section of the site. Currently got odds on making the final of the main event and also final table betting on Event #2. Let me know which blondites will be playing the main event and I'll add another group to our list. THe others will be up shortly. Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: ariston on June 05, 2005, 04:29:50 PM Maybe you can start another thread and people can add there names. I know william hill have their 3 players- julian,bad girl and vladar. betfair have mr tann, karibner,me, ben grundy and bengt sonnert (all forumites here). Im sure a few of the prominent posters on here have qualified on other sites so why not get a group bet running?
Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 06:15:42 PM I will try & list all the blondeites (who are in the Main Event) tomorrow. But can you ask Burnley John to register - I don't think he has, but he IS one of us...... Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: ariston on June 05, 2005, 06:17:46 PM He must be already registered, theres no way he isnt going in with the other blondites. So far this year hes been our king lol
Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 05, 2005, 06:22:55 PM I don't think he is Russ - get him sorted! Title: Re: Vegas - Event # 2, $1,500 NLH Post by: tikay on June 06, 2005, 01:51:37 PM Meanwhile, getting back to the original subject of this thread.......
The comp was eventually won by Alan Cunningham, for $752,000, with long time leader Scott Fischmann netting a cool $352,000 for 2nd. And Devilfish - who was very low stacked early to mid comp, got an excellent third place, $232,000. The Brits are warming up.....!
