WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Day 2 Live Update - Interactive

[Djinn]

But first - a hallway spot - John Kabbaj and what looks to be the back of Sealey... we're slowly finding more faces we know better than these American icons.

A case in point - running enthusiastically back from our Mexican dinner, we found Barney Boatman and Mad Marty, with a side order of Jesse and Mrs. May.  There'll be quite a few Brits playing the $2,000 NL tomorrow, methinks.

It appears as though Jennifer Harman danced her last dance just after the tea-time return. No sign of the high-roller.

Doyle Brunson is now up with the chip leaders after taking a big chunk out of Andrew Bloch's stack.

 aaaaaaaaaaaaachhhoooooooooooo

 sorry thats not to be sneezed at.

A rare and beautiful thing occurred - I got right up to where I could see a hand being played out - and it was one in this Stud 8/b round.

The ante is now 1,000, with a 1,500 bring-in and 4,000 completion (the limit being 4k/8k) - so not small potatoes now; it's understandable why they're down to six tables fairly rapidly. 

Anyhow, TJ Cloutier, who has probably 170,000 (although his double cokes in front of his chips make it devilishly hard to tell) was showing against his opponent's when I turned up.  It was the latter who was doing the betting, with TJ calling, until they looked like this:

TJ: 
Matey:     There was a river bet from TJ, and a rather wistful look at the hand and muck movement as Mr. Cloutier showed the winning down cards of and another low card (blocked by said coca-cola tower).

It is 23:40 over in LV, hot and dry outside, cold and dry inside.  We've got 48 players remaining here, a quick drop in the latter levels.

is annie duke still in?

The $50,000 HORSE tournament, 2006, will NOT be won by a woman.  Annie Duke is OUT.  Down to five tables, and a new table of doom approaches - Doyle Brunson, Tuan Le, Andy Bloch, Patrik Antonius, Lederer, Gavin Smith, Robert Williamson III.  There you have it. 

Many thanks to blondeite/intrepid reporter Nick Wright who's been watching these last few tables and updating harder than we are!  Here he is:

After a bit of a flurry of exits, play has slowed down somewhat and we seem to have returned to the snail's pace of earlier that was threatening us with a very late finish indeed.
