Day 1B Survivors are HERE

However, many of the openng tables (mainly in "Pavilion", White) have now broken. They are breaking from the higher numbers in "Pavilion" downwards.

is there any way to filter on these things?

Looking for Jordan obv

Jordan is playing Main Event??

Lok. Not THAT Jordan! Mr Cos refers to "Kaplan Jordan", who, he tells me, is a "Phuketeer".

Sorry, wasn't online.

From day 1c:

Jordan Kaplan   Staten Island, NY, US   46,300   Brasilia / 87 / 9

He returns tomorrow.

Well done Vince, thanks. Tomorrow, the deed will be done, if Cossy reminds me.

What is the average atm?

No idea Keith, not sure how to check, either. We are 3 levels into Day 2a, (which comes from 1a & 1b) & 2b (comes from 1c) is tomorrow.

Starting stack is 30,000, & in Days 1a, b & c, approx 65% of the field fell.

No idea how many players have fallen by the wayside today, either. Guess 60% (of 2a) or so will perish today?

At start of play today, I would estimate average as somewhere around 50,000.

Short version. I have no idea.

Following the Main Event from home is terrible.

It's like listening to the Grand National on the radio.. you have no idea whether the horse you've backed has fallen and the commentator has missed it or it's cruising in behind the leaders with a double handful!

Relying on tweets, and if the players you are following don't tweet for 90 minutes you automatically assume the worst!

will do, ty.

This has made railing the main better but as Keefy Orkins says, it's tilting.

I can imagine.

It gets worse in the last 2 levels of the day, as players i-phone batteries die. I had about 10 people ask me to charge their phones towards the end of play last night. Obv, Channing got priority, as he talks most.

Not seen him on my random wanders.

Last Tweet 3 hours ago was not optimistic, either.


So card dead & depressed. Dropped to 22k from 44k in four hours. Seems long time since I had 100k. Just shoved 24k over 1300 open ‪#desperate‬

Someone please C&P my hand from twitter on here it's golden

I'm not one for HH but this is golden. Tight guy opens EP 1800 I flat QQ mp HU flop, Q83r he 2200 I call, turn 2 him 5300 me 13k he calls

river J he check tank calls 24k, then gets a penalty for not raising....not sure if I'm ecstatic or tilted

[tikay]

Camel - looks like Neil is still in, or was @ Dinner-Break, which ended 30 minutes ago.

Neil Channing ‏@SenseiChanning
Made the dinner break with 20,600 at 500/1000. Fairly frustrating day wouldn't really cover it.

Lol last year beginning day 3 a woman check called my pot bet with the nut straight vs my 2nd nut straight no flush possible. Love the main event

[TightEnd]

The lack of info in the main is a real shame

Just a function of the sheer scale of it I suppose, and we have to rely on tikay on here, twitter and the like to get anything meaningful

I am sure things could be done by PN/team to make the whole provision of info easier next year for those railing friends/family at home

Victoria Coren ‏@VictoriaCoren

Last break (before last level of the day); I have about 60k. Got up to 90k but suffered a couple of very unfortunate plot twists.

Open shove, wait 1hr, 3-bet shove, wait 40 mins, open shove. Guy snap-calls my 19bb early pos shove from button with A10. My AK holds.

"In the last hand at their table, action folded around to Terry Grimes on the button. He looked down at his cards and said, "Let's get this over with," before moving all in for well over 200,000. The small blind got out of the way, but Kevin Davis called off for nearly 200,000 from the big blind."
