GL all Brits in the Main Event!

[DTD-ACES]

Good luck to the remaining Brits , like everyone i am following.

Would be great to see Ivey make the final and one player i expect to do well is Fabrice Soulier .

I'm somewhat resistant to all the hype surrounding the latest bright new prospect. I tend to have them down as arrogant wannabees without really knowing anything about them (mainly jealousy of course).

But I just saw a quick interview of James Akenhead after he hit the chiplead on day 5 (link below) and he seems like a very level-headed and genuine bloke. Obviously very much on the ball too of course, he sure didn't get to where he is by accident. Really hope he makes the N9.

I can't get that fkin PKR live feed to work either. Signed up n all that, but I click "Watch the WSOP 2009 Live Feed" and aint shit happens. Is it a con to get our email addresses or what?

Yep, played with James recently and he is a decent bloke.

Heads up v Ivey would be fun imo.

Gd luck.

Well that would explain a lot! Thanks.

I wish they would actually SAY THAT SOMEWHERE, rather than have a sign saying "Watch The WSOP 2009 Live video feed" GRRR!!

If it's not up til the FT then it's dead for 4 months. Got some OK interviews on there tho.

James played so good today, wish I could be hand specific but who knows who might read this so don't want to give any of his hands away. Last nite he couldn't win a hand and had done half his stack and sat and grinded, basically folded the day out for the last level, knowing he couldn't win a pot no matter what he tried. Such a mature performance, certainly something he didn't used to be able to do. Told him this morning he would get his reward for that play with a great day and he did.

When me and Karl got to the Rio (after missing our flights home) he was already up to 6million, he had some young american kid talking to himself (until he put him out his misery) and generally controlled his table beautifully, barely losing a significant pot.

Will be back with the boys to cheer him to november tomorrow, will pass on the good wishes from here, mentioned it earlier and he's really grateful....gogogo sickdog.
