$2,500 PLH (D1)/$1,500 NLH (D2) - Live Update - At A Glance

[snoopy1239]

And poor Paul McKinney takes the dreaded bubble position in the $1,500 NLH F/O

I was really willing this fella to make the final, it's awesome to see guys of his age competing with the youngsters in these huge fields.

On a happier note, that means that Irishman Padraig Parkinson has made the final!

Last level (I think) of the $1,500 Pot Limit, everyone's made the money and have Cheshire Cat grins, especially John 'Decision' Hansmeyer, who's playing in his first ever WSOP Event.

54 left I think I heard the announcer say.

Still in:

Carlo Citrone
Richard Redmond
Joe Hachem
Kathy Liebert

And some chip counts:

Daniel Negreanu -- 12.5k
John Shipley -- 54k
John Gale -- 80k
John Hansmeyer -- 12k

[snoopy1239]

Richard 'Squelch' Redmond loses a is down to 30k after losing a pot that would have shot him into a potential chip lead.

Redmond raises preflop with Q-Q, MB calls.

Flop = 2-3-6

Redmond check raises the guy all-in, he calls with 5-5 and spikes a third 5 on the river.

Just witnessed John Shipley's stack being sliced in half.

MB raises from the button, John reraised from the big blind, and MB moves all-in for his last 19k.

About 20k in the pot, John thinks for a lenghty period of time and then calls with

MB flips

Board =

Ten plays...

[snoopy1239]

6 tables (47 players) remaining
Av Stack = 29,893
Blinds = 600/1,200
15 mintues left on the clock

[snoopy1239]

John Hewston is OUT.

Ran his Q-7 on a Queen high board into Negreanu's A-Q

[snoopy1239]

The Brits are suddenly dropping like flies.

Shipley is also OUT.

Big hit came with the A-9 v A-T hand, but it was a classic coinflip that finished him off, A-K v Q-Q (no help arrived).

[snoopy1239]

Well, they about to bag up, and within those 47 players remaining, there are several familiar names...
