Ugly one so deep David but a tremendous effort nonetheless.

Thanks all.

I am determined not to get too down on this.  It is important to not look at these things in isolation.  I won a flip on day 1 for most of my chips when I was probably slightly behind, and there was a triple up late on day 2, where I got it in with AT84 ds when holding 4 big blinds in limit (2 big bets) and hit the flush.  Suits are important in O8, but I dare say I wasn't in great shape right there.  And there have been several times when I have left Vegas when down to shrapnel.

I can't stress how much fun this tournament was at times.  Most of the people playing were good company, and it is probably my favourite format currently.  I don't ever smile as much in hold em tournaments these days.   I hope the other Blondes who come out for the series enjoy it as much as I did.

Funking for Ramos today, he plays the game with a smile on his face, a glass of wine by his side, and isn't shy on getting creative.  Not anti-funking the other two, as Carol Fuchs seems pleasant too, but I didn't spend much time with her and I never sat at a table with Zhu so have no view on him.  Got to love those who find themselves asking for a 9 on the river, and Ramos is that man.

I might play something today after all.  There is a 550 daily hold em at the Wynn, and there is a 250 PLO8 at the Golden Nugget.  I walked past the Wynn room last night and the contrast between that and the parking garage at the Venetian is pretty stark.

Finally, I had to sit next to Ben Dobson at the payout desks.  FML....

Just joking, I recognised him and had a brief chat, he seems a really nice bloke too.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Event 32 - $1K Seniors NLH, Day 4 of 3, 5919 entries

After over 100 hands of heads-up play, Matthew Davis, a statistics teacher from California has got his hands on the bracelet and well over $660, dwarfing his two previous WSOP cashes.

Bill Stabler made the FT of this very event six years ago, and did so again today, taking over $400K for the runner-up spot, and the only non-US player at the FT, Scott Hamilton-Hill from New Zealand, was the third placed finisher.


Event 33 - $50K Poker Players Championship 6 Max, Day 4 of 5, 87 entrants


We've reached the FT and it is two-time winner Michael Mizrachi who is gunning for a third PPC with the biggest stack overnight.

The only non-bracelet winner among the last 11 players, Dan Smith, is 2nd with about half the Grinder's stack, and Aaron Katz is third.

Benny Glaser was comfortably in the middle of the pack at the end of Day 3, and while he's now 5th out of 6, he still has over 50BB. John Hennigan and Mike Leah complete the final 6.


Event 34 - $1K NLH Double Stack, Day 2 of 5, total of 5700 entries


Fast and furious action has reduced the field to just 162 after Day 2, 5 of whom appear to be British - Phillip Mighall, Steven Morris, Pablo Campo, Robert Bain and Daniel Corbett.

They're not in the top 20 in chips though as the chip lead is held by Daniel Colpoys who's had a few cashes already this month. David Kaiura is second and Japanese player Yosuke Sekiya is third.

Our old friend from Hicksville, Vinny Pahuja is still involved, as is Jeremy Ausmus, 2012 November Niner.



Event 35 - $1500 Mixed PLO 8, Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better & Big O, Day 3 of 3, 773 entries

Another tournament that needs an extra day to come to a conclusion, three players remain, but they're far from equal in stacks. Chinese Yueqi Zhu has 78% of all the chips in play, with Gabriel Ramos having about three quarters of the remainder and Carol Fuchs the last few. Fuchs though is the only bracelet holder among the three.

David Barraclough was top Brit, falling to a 3-outer on the river to finish 10th for $13114. Daniel Kent had gone out some time earlier (22nd for $6414).


Event 36 - $1K Super Seniors NLH, Day 2 of 3, 2191 entries

43 go forward to the 3rd and hopefully final day, with Jerry Weber, Paul W Lee and John Borzio the top 3 stacks.

Right behind them is Linda Iwaniak, part of a two-pronged British assault on the event with Bradley Viner the other contender.

Two-time bracelet holder Steve Zolotow brings a decent stack with him, and a player who has WSOP cashes dating back to 1990 and has had run ins with Phil Hellmuth among others over the years, Sam Grizzle also is quite comfortable.


Event 37 - $1500 NLH, Day 1 of 3, 1330 entrants

These $1500 NLH events used to be the backbone of the series, one running at least every weekend, but with the increased number of gimmicky or themed tournaments, they're almost an endangered species now.

With 200 to be paid and 236 players bagging at the end of Day 1, it won't be long before the bubble bursts.

Kirk Banks has the end of Day 1 lead, ahead of Michael Rocco and Duy Ho, with JC Tran the first of the well known names in 11th spot.

Two more former November Niners Eoghan O'Dea and Jay Farber, Andy Frankenberger, Eric Baldwin, Chris Ferguson and Barry Greenstein are among the qualfiiers, while the British contingent consists of Jack Sinclair, Damien Le Goff, Daniel Tang, Steven Warburton, Matas Cimbolas, Edwin Biber, Conor Beresford, Andrew Teng and Thomas Hall

I always like to pick out Anna Antimony, as a) I like players with alliterative names, and b) she joins the likes of Max Silver and Jamie Gold as players with surnames the same as chemical elements.


Event 38 - $10K 7 Card Stud Championship, Day 1 of 3, 76 entries so far

In common with the other $10K events, late reg is open until the start of Day 2.

27 of those 76 remain, headed by Ben Yu with Daniel Negreanu and Scott Siever among those hard on his heels.

I can't see any British names in the chip listings, Stu Rutter and Adam Owen both busted some time before the end of Day 1.


To Start Today
Event 39 - $1500 Shootout NLH, 3 Day Event
Event 40 - $2500 Mixed Big Bet Event, 7 game mix, 3 Day Event
