Both Doyle and Todd left in the last 15 of the 2-7 Lowball, how great would it be to see them heads up. Has it ever happened in a tournament before?

It's the last chance. Doyle is retiring completely after this event as he is 84 years old and his wife is very ill. Walking away to spend time with her.

Whoa! I go away for a weekend, and come back to several "near misses" for British bracelets, including one by someone we still think of here as "one of our own".

First, those events that have been completed.

Event 7 - $565 Colossus NLH, 13079 entries

The first near miss, Scott Margerson was chip leader with 4 left, bit it all went a bit wrong and he was next out after a four hour long game 4-handed.

He picked up the small matter of $220K, while the million dollars and bracelet went to Brazilian Roberly Felicio, the 5th for the South American country and as is now customary, was played out to a large Brazilian rail.


Event 13 - $1500 NLH (Big Blind Ante), 1306 entries

The Moon shone in Vegas brightly as Benjamin Moon was the winner of the inaugural $1500 Big Blind Ante NLH tournament.

The Californian pro got the better of French player Romain Lewis to win the tournament and over $315K.


Event 15 - $1500 HORSE, Day 1 of 3, 731 entries


28-year old Russian semi-pro Andrey Zhigalov took down Event 15 after over three hours of heads-up play, that forced the tournament into an unplanned fourth day.

Day 4 was short-lived, as it took just twenty minutes for Zhigalov to defeat Timothy Frazin for the win and just over $200K. Zhigalov is a mixed-games specialist, only 2 of his 16 WSOP cashes have come in hold'em, with Razz being his preferred variant.


Event 16 - $10K Heads Up NLH Championship, 114 entrants

In my last update, I mentioned that Justin Bonomo was on a roll knocking out Brits, well he did it again in the final beating Jason McConnon to take his second career bracelet. It took Bonomo 59 hands to win the final, a far cry from his second round match with Jake Schindler which took just three hands.

Bonomo won $185K for his seven wins, a small drop in his total live wininngs this year which already amount to $14.5 million!


Event 17 - $1500 NLH 6-max, 1663 entries

We've had bracelets for Brazil & Russia (as well as the USA of course) already in this update, and you can now add Bulgaria as Event 17 went to Ognyan Dimov, the third bracelet winner from Bulgaria.

It was a European one-two with Antonio Barbato from Italy being the runner-up, with the 4 former bracelet winners among the 6-handed final table finishing 3rd-6th, Nick Schulman lasting the longest of the quartet.


Event 18 - $10K Dealers Choice 6-Max Championship, 111 entrants

So we come to another "near miss", and the one that resonates here with Stuart Rutter being the unlucky bridesmaid.

The Midlander was chip leader entering heads-up but was quickly overtaken by Adam Friedman who was winning his second bracelet.

A couple of odd things happened towards the later stages. When two tables remained, the players thought that the structure was playing far too fast, and requested that the tournament was slowed down, but this was denied by WSOP head guru Jack Effel. Then when Friedman and Rutter got heads-up, instead of each player choosing the game (from the list of 20 available variants) they agreed to choose the game in a random fashion.

This is Stuart's 3rd cash of the Series and the $181K second place prize money is his biggest recorded cash, marginally beating the $179K he picked up for a third place back in 2010.


Event 19 - $565 PLO, 3 Day Event, 2419 entries

Another tournament completed, won by Craig Varnell. He nearly skipped this event after firing eight bullets without success at the Colossus, but now he's glad he persevered. He's also $181K richer.

He knocked out most of the final table single handed, Seth Zimmerman being his final victim and he also disposed of Omar Mehmood in third, Maxime Heroux in 4th, and former WSOP ME winner Jonathan Duhamel in 6th.

The best UK cash went to Mats Rosen in 15th place for $9142.

Confirmed he was a DTD regular, I bumped into one of the old Gala Notts crew from back in the day, (photo to follow) and he confirmed it, also said the guy was a running mate of Pete Linton.

Anyone remember this fine young man who was a Gala Notts stalwart around 10 years ago?

For bonus points, what is his blonde alias?

That's the plan Stu, Omaha Mix on Saturday, and PLO8 on Tuesday week, abw. Preferably not on your table, to be honest. Smiley

Congrats on such a terrific start, and loving those updates even though much of it goes over my head.

Amazing really, we are both staying here, and both playing here, but not set eyes on each other.

Could it be because I look so much younger and more virile these days?

To be fair, I've played a tourney almost every day since I got here, though mostly at Binions, Nugget and Venetian. Only 2 Rio WSOP tourneys so far though, a min cash in the $565 PLO, and in this morning's $1,000 PLO in which I lasted precisely 42 minutes, every one of them painful.....

Am always playing Big O cash at Rio on spare evenings though, and am always in the Media Centre from 6am until it's time to toddle off and play my tourney. ( It opens at 9am officially but i have the door code, lol).
