Vegas Main Event - off we go!

[TightEnd]

Joseph Cheong's elimination in 116th was his WORST finish over the past three years in the main event. (3rd, 114th, 116th)

[MereNovice]

With 117 left, is Sam Holden the last Brit again with 1.2m?

Marcel Luske in with over 1m. I know the DTD guys are funking him, he's across regularly to play at the club and a close friend of Simon's GL tol him too

"Marcel Luske is about to join the TV table. 1 of 117 players remaining in the WSOP main event. Guaranteed $52,000 + http://pic.twitter.com/CURQbgwJ2"

Sam is the last Brit left.
Great effort.

At least 3 Irish in there that might take exception to being labelled "brits"

Hope Sam goes really deep again. Good guy with a level head and really seems to love the game.

[Crotale]

Not saying he isn't decent but a lot of the hands reported were where he was 3 betting with shit and flipping world. Spose that's how u win

 

Cheong looks a bit like Jar Jar Binks with his hoodie up

Great player without a doubt, you can't flook three straight day fives.

Got a feeling Pete may actually be classed a Brit but John & Fergal are Irish

I know Tomas Samol from Phuket - gl him! He's a character!

Sam Holden ‏@Sam_Holden888

Wow! Upto 2.3m after tripling up on a coinflip 44>AQ after guy calls and then folds to larger shove. #runbetter

[Crotale]

Sam Holden .... big triple up
 
The hand began with Holden shoving all in for 775,000 from the hijack seat, then Andrew Flaherty called from the button. Jean Malherbe then reraised all in from the big blind, and after thinking for a while Flaherty let his hand go.
 
Holden turned over and Malherbe , and at the sight of those hands Flaherty buried his head in his hands as though he'd wished he'd stayed in the hand.
 
The community cards came to give Holden a straight, so perhaps Flaherty was better off not to have called, although he now sits on a short stack.

[GreekStein]

seems like he called off over half his stack and then folded getting silly-to-one
