Apologies again for the lateness of the post, it's been too nice weather to be indoors typing results! And it's likely to be late again tomorrow, as there's a charity event I'm likely to be headed to straight after work.
Event 48 - $1500 Monster Stack NLH, Day 3 of 4, total of 6260 entries
257 players started day 3, with one table Daniel Wojcik of the USA sitting right next to Daniel Wojcik of Canada. What's the chances of that? Perhaps live poker is rigged in different ways to what people thought!
Anyway, 29 of those 257 move on, headed by Vitor Rangel, James Carroll and Harald Sammer. Steve Billirakis who was the youngest ever Las Vegas WSOP winner and Day 2 chip leader is still involved, as is Raul Manzanares Lozano and Daniel Corbett, showing as from Manchester and Blackburn respectively.
Down at the bottom of the listings is David Cabrera Polop, who has the proverbial "chip and a chair", his 20K chips forming just one ante. He'll need to get super lucky to even ladder up (next pay jump at 27)
If you're fans of players with no vowels in their name, Mstr Lynch is your man. He'll come back with about 20BB and look to spin it up early.
Event 49 - $10K 8-Max PLO Championship, Day 3 of 3, 476 entries so far
2016, winner of Event 45 (Mixed NLH/PLO), 2017 winner of event 41 (PLO), 2018 winner of Event 49 (PLO), that's a very nice resume for Loren Klein as he earned his third bracelet in three years.
This one was was a lot bigger than his first two wins (both $1500 events) and he is now the proud possessor of not just a third bracelet but over a million dollars.
Looking back to 2016, Klein also had a deep run in this very event, falling second to Brandon Shack-Harris. Shack-Harris bowed out in 3rd this time, with Rep Porter being the runner-up
Event 50 - $1500 Razz, Day 2 of 3, 389 entrants
Good luck if you understood yesterday's update of this one, it appears to have had more typos than the average Grauniad article of the 1980s.
Hopefully it will be better today, reporting the win of self-proclaimed Razz specialist Jay Kwon (as far as I know, no relation to early 2000s rapper J-Kwon).
British mixed-games player Adam Owen went out in 3rd for $52K and Polish player Dzmitry Urbanovich was second for $77K. Kwon by contrast earned almost as much as those two together ($125K)
Event 51 - $1500 Bounty NLH, Day 2 of 3, $500 Bounties, 1982 entries
The WSOP were having a bit of a 'mare about the nationalities on the chip listings, showing the first three players as from Eritrea, the US and Iran.
The US, fair enough with Ryan Leng from Illinois in second place. The leader is Ranno Sootla, who is actually from Estonia, and in third place is Jamie O'Conner, showing as from "West Yorkshire, Iran" but is actually Irish.
Lying in 4th is 2013 ME runner-up, Jay Farber while German "Mad" Marvin Rettenmaier has one of the smaller stacks.
No Brits, Alex Whitenstall busted in 41st for $5722.
Event 52 - $10K Limit Hold'em Championship, Day 2 of 3, 114 entries
56 players started Day 2, only 14 were still standing at the end of the day.
Dan Zack is the overnight chip leader, and has a huge stack (more than double his nearest challenger).
That nearest challenger is Nick Schulman, with Anthony Zinno very close behind.
Benny Glaser is the last non-US representative, in the lower middle order.
Event 53 - $1500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low 8 or better, Day 1 of 3, 935 entries
So, first things first, I have to be the bearer of bad news as our very own Tikay has not extended his decent run in WSOP events, losing his stack at some point during Day 1.
Stu Rutter is through though after a very eventful day where he earned a one-level suspension (if that's right that's the biggest penalty I've heard of in years) for "constant mocking" of Phil Hellmuth, and then lost a late big pot to Bryce Yockey, tanking after Yockey shoved until the clock was called, and even then did not act and his hand was declared dead. After that, he will come back with a pretty short stack and will a) need to be on his best behaviour and b) get lucky to double up a few times. Mocking Hellmuth may be as good for the soul as taking the mickey out of present-day Diego Maradona, but I guess there's a time and a place.
That hand put Yockey near the top of the listings, along with the likes of Brad Albrinck, Dustin Pattinson and Eli Elezra.
Daniel Negreanu, Mike Matusow, Bruno Fitoussi, the aforementioned Phil Hellmuth, Chris Ferguson, John Racener, Joseph Cheong, Chris Bjorin and Brandon Cantu make up a quite high quotient of big names for a $1500 event.
Other Brits through include Thomas Cazayous, Warren Colman, Paul Jackson and Peter Charalambous
Event 54 - $3K NLH (Big Blind Ante), Day 1 of 3, 1020 entrants
A nice field size of over 1000 players, meant that 153 will get paid but with almost 100 more than that qualifying for Day 2 the bubble is still intact.
Braclet winners who will be present and correct for Day 2 include Kathy Liebert, Frank Kassela and Scotty Nguyen, but the biggest stack belongs to Fahredin Mustafov. The Bulgarian has only a small lead over Jordan Young with Canada's Rayan Chamas a bit further behind.
Max Silver lies in 20th spot, Oscar Serradell 36th, and former November Niner James Akenhead is 46th. Adrien Delmas, Paul vas Nunes, Ben Farrell, Steven Warburton, Guillermo Sanchez, Paul Fontan, Soner Osman, Mark Teltscher and Robert Heidorn make up the rest of the GB challenge, but I refer the honourable readers to a previous update, where I posit that some of the GB players are actually Spanish but resident in the UK.

Event 48 - $1500 Monster Stack NLH, Day 4 of 4, total of 6260 entries
The newest WSOP millionaire is 28-year old Tommy Nguyen with the Canadian coming out on top after a FT that was a big slick shove fest, nine times there was an all-in hand with AK and it being successfull seven of those nine times.
James Carroll was second and Francis Rusnak third, with Daniel Corbett best Brit in 5th after holding the chip lead on and off through the day.
Event 51 - $1500 Bounty NLH, Day 3 of 3, $500 Bounties, 1982 entries
The Bounty Hunder has gone into a fourth day with the regulation 3 days unable to separate the final four players.
Ryan Leng had a rollercoaster of a day, but ended it on an upswing to hold the chip lead, reversing the top two places from Day 2 with Ranno Sootla. Christian Nolte is third and 2013 ME runner-up Jay Farber brings up the rear.
Event 52 - $10K Limit Hold'em Championship, Day 3 of 3, 114 entries
Hands up who thought Scott Siever had more than one bracelet already? I see quite a lot of hands. Mine would have been up too but it took today for Siever to add his second WSOP gold bracelet.
He took down Event 52 for $296K, a drop in the ocean in his massive tournament and cash winnings, but the bracelet meant a lot to him after not planning to play much WSOP action at the start of the summer. A second place in Event 8 restored the hunger and now three weeks later he has his win. He played the FT wearing a T-shirt bearing the face of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her win was more unlikely than his.
Benny Glaser was the only UK player to cash, finishing 10th for $20K.
Event 53 - $1500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low 8 or better, Day 2 of 3, 935 entries
Twenty players remain, and the defending champion in this event, Nathan Gamble, is the chip leader.
Plenty of well known names line up behind Gamble, including Daniel Negreanu, Mike Matusow, Quinn Do, Eli Elezra (all on the same Day 3 table), Bryce Yockey and Bruno Fitoussi.
What we don't have is any UK names - Warren Colman did best for 52nd spot ($4125) while Paul Jackson earned about a grand less for 64th.
Event 54 - $3K NLH (Big Blind Ante), Day 2 of 3, 1020 entrants
31 players make Day 3 and the chip listings have an unbalanced look about them.
Jonathan Abdellatif has over 2.7m chips, almost three times as many as his nearest challenger Barry Hutter, and 3.5 times that of third placed Mariano Cruz.
Paul Fontan is the only UK representative and he has the second smallest stack, 125K.
Event 55 - $1K Tag Team NLH (2-4 players per team), Day 1 of 3, 1032 teams
A little hard to follow who's who in this, all I can say for sure is that 242 teams bagged up for the night, and that 155 will get paid.
The leading team is made up of Juan Ramirez, Isai Coello & Dustin Pattinson.
The WSOP are only showing the team captains on the chip listings but they do include Alex Zeligman from Surrey in 2nd place. He's playing with Jonathan Roux & Daniel Price.
Hopefully a clearer update will be available tomorrow.
Event 56 - $10K 7 Card Razz Championship, Day 1 of 3, 112 entries so far
John Hennigan has already won one $10K bracelet (Event 27, the HORSE) and he's on the lookout for a second, a late run giving him the chip lead on Day 1 of the Razz.
He's got Ted Forrest and Per Hildebrand on his heels and another 2018 bracelet winner Julien Martini close behind.
There's just one "GB" shown in the Day 1 chip report, attached to the name of Jason Gray in 13th spot, out of the 42 qualifiers

Event 51 - $1500 Bounty NLH, Day 4 of 3, $500 Bounties, 1982 entries
A fourth day of action was needed to decide the bounty hunter, and it was decided in favour of the start-of-day leader Ryan Leng.
The man he's been basically neck and neck with for two days, Ranno Sootla from Estonia was his defeated heads-up and Jay Farber went out in third.
Event 53 - $1500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low 8 or better, Day 3 of 3, 935 entries
Talk about cutting it fine. There were just two minutes and 30 seconds left in Day 3 play when Joey Couden scooped Bruno Fitoussi to win his first bracelet and $244K. He has previously made a couple of FTs but never really challenged for the bracelet, but that's all changed now.
There were plenty of other big names in contention too, four handed play saw Couden facing Fitoussi, Eli Elezra and Mike Matusow, all 4 holding the chip lead at one point, while Daniel Negreanu finished 9th.
Event 54 - $3K NLH (Big Blind Ante), Day 3 of 3, 1020 entrants
Add Event 54 to the list of those needing extra time.
Four left, all guaranteed $163K but looking for the $522K and the bracelet for first.
Barry Hutter has one bracelet to his name (from 2015) and he's the leader overnight ahead of Diogo Veiga (Portugal) and Radoslav Stoyanov (Bulgaria). Day 2 leader Jonathan Abdellatif is hoping to do more than just make up the numbers.
Paul Fontan took 28th spot for the UK and a prize of $12399
Event 55 - $1K Tag Team NLH (2-4 players per team), Day 2 of 3, 1032 teams
28 teams of 2-4 players are still in, with Bon Koo and Bienvenido Caballero the chip leaders going into what should be the final day.
Not many well known players left, but Loni Harwood & Kelly Minkin are part of one of the teams with a decent stack, plus Manig Loeser and Cord Garcia are still in with their teams and the Alex Zeligman team has made it through albeit with only 16BB and other British names shown on the listings are Andrew Wilson & Jack Hardcastle. There may be others in theirs or other teams.
Event 56 - $10K 7 Card Razz Championship, Day 2 of 3, 119 entries
Both John Hennigan and Julien Martini are still in with a chance of a second 2018 bracelet, lying 2nd and 4th of just 13 qualifiers.
Calvin Anderson has the chip lead, but there's still plenty of accomplished names left in - Leah, Urbanovich, Kassela, Kessler, Volpe, Bojang and Forrest included.
This one looks like it is going to be a really good FT
Event 57 - $10K Ladies NLH Championship, 90% discount for ladies, Day 1 of 3, 696 entries
After 10 hours of play, 104 ladies are still battling for the title, bracelet and $130K with Mesha James holding the biggest stack.
She manoevuered her way to the chip lead during the 40-minute long bubble, winning a massive pot with pocket eights.
Next in chips are Alexis Sterner and Tara Snow, with some reasonably well known names playing on include Kristy Annett, Melanie Wiesner and Gaelle Baumann.
We had the runner-up in this last year in the shape of Deborah Worley-Roberts, this time around it looks like there are two UK players through - Charlotte Godwin and Ishbel Leddy who allegedly hails from that well known place in Sussex, "Burger Hill"!
Event 58 - $5K 6-Max NLH, Day 1 of 3, 595 entries
According to the report, the Day 1 chip lead is in the hands of 2015 November Niner and 2017 bracelet winner Thomas
According to the chip listings page, both Josip Simunic and Aleksandr Shevliakov both have way bigger stacks than Cannuli.
Who to believe?
Outside the very top echelons of the day 1 runners, Yiannis Liperis, Liv Boeree, Conor Beresford, Thomas Waters, Dean Lyall, Markus Kuhnen, Toby Lewis, Max Silver, Ben Morrison, Javier Fernandez, Damien Le Goff, Michael Kane and Robert Heidorn make up a decent GB quota, both in quantity and quality.
Some other names are Jean-Robert Bellande, Robert Mizrachi, Joseph Cheong, Greg Merson, Valentin Vornicu, 2012 PCA winner Kyle Julius and another November Niner, Russell Thomas.

Event 54 - $3K NLH (Big Blind Ante), Day 4 of 3, 1020 entrants
It's the third bracelet for Portugal, but the first in Las Vegas as Diego Veiga got the better of his 3 Day 4 tablemates
Veiga won $555K in a tournament in Barcelona three months ago, and almost matched that here by taking the $522K first prize.
Barry Hutter finished second, Radoslav Stoyanov third and Jonathan Abdellatif fourth.
Event 55 - $1K Tag Team NLH (2-4 players per team), Day 3 of 3, 1032 teams
Last year, a male/female tag team won one of the then two such bracelet events, this year with only this one on the schedule Guiseppe Panteleo and Nikita Luther each won their first bracelets and will split $175K.
Luther was also playing Event 54 at the same time as most of this one (she finished 17th) and only tagged in for Pantaleo in the breaks, but she was done with Event 54 by Day 3 and they split the play reasonably evenly.
The Japanese combination of Kazuki Ikeuchi, Hiroki Iwata and Sho Mori finished third while another international/mixed-gender team of Manig Loeser, Joelle Parenteau and Daniel Weinand finished third.
The highest finishing British players were Andrew Wilson and Ben Phillips who combined with American Eric Penner for 19th spot and $1668 each.
Event 56 - $10K 7 Card Razz Championship, Day 3 of 3, 119 entries
More time needed in Event 56, with the heads-up battle between Calvin Anderson and Frank Kassela undecided at the end of Day 3. Anderson has over a 3:1 lead but with stacks so shallow that even Anderson only has 15 big bets, one hand could easily equalise things.
Heads up has already been going on for 5 hours after the departure of Julien Martini in 3rd and Mike Leah in 4th while John Hennigan departed in 7th.
Event 57 - $10K Ladies NLH Championship, 90% discount for ladies, Day 2 of 3, 696 entries
Ten players are still left, all American, in the battle to win the Ladies bracelet.
Jill Pike has twisted and turned her way to the top of the chip listings, moving upwards consistently during the last level of Day 2.
Jessica Dawley (two cashes already this series) is in second place and Weiyo Mo sits third.
Also left in include Dannielle Anderson and notable poker reporter Molly Mossey.
The British challenge ended pretty early on Day 3. First Charlotte Godwin went out (80th, $1646) and then Ishbel Leddy followed her out (62nd, $1969).
Event 58 - $5K 6-Max NLH, Day 2 of 3, 595 entries
No confusion about the chip leader after Day 2 after Andrew Graham's five-bet shove with Kings got the better of Anthony Spinella's Jacks.
He has 1.4m chips with only 3 other players above a million - Eric Blair, Dave Stefanski & Justin Adams.
27 are left, with former ME winner Greg Merson, former November Niner Sylvain Loosli, Jean-Robert Ballande and Martin Finger amongst them.
The British challenge rather petered out with Dean Lyall the only one left, with Sergio Aspina Aido also showing as fron the UK but is one of those Spanish players resident here that I seem to being up every night. His biggest win is over $1.3m in an event in the Phillipines which brings us nicely on to event 59.
Event 59 - $1000 Super Turbo Bounty NLH, 1 Day Event, $300 bounties, 2065 entries
This one was a first - the first bracelet ever for a player from the Phillipines. Mike Takayama was the king of the super-turbo bounty, according to the WSOP he seemed to say "All in" about as much as he said "Fold".
He won the bracelet and over $198K when he beat Lorenc Puka heads-up with Matthew Smith in third.
Steve Jelinek added to the top-4 Brit finishes this summer by taking 4th for $65K. Darren Taylor, Gil Thierry, Richard Kellett, Florian Duta, Stefan Fabian, Adam Bromley (yay!), Chun Yan, Dan Laming, Sunny Chattha, Alejandro Torres and Ben Farrell also cashed. (Others may have also won some bounties but they're not shown on the WSOP reports tab)
Shaun Deeb scored a small cash to add more points to his lead in the Player of the Year standings.
Event 60 - $10K Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low 8 or Better Championship, Day 1 of 3, 218 entries so far
Onto the next $10K championship event, with 125 of the 218 entries surviving the ups and downs of PLO8 Day 1.
Nathan Gamble has had deep runs in both Event 35 and Event 53 and he's at it again holding the biggest stack in Event 60.
Shaun Deeb tried this one too, but went out in a huge hand also involving Mike Leah & Talal Shakerchi, both Deeb & Leah flopping straights while Shakerchi had a set, which became a house on the river to scoop.
Talal has held on to most of those chips and sits 56th overnight which is also 3rd Brit behind Richard Gryko & Thomas Cazayous with Barny Boatman and Stu Rutter also still in.
Event 61 - $1000 WSOP.com Online NLH Championship, unlimited re-entry, 1 Day Event
This online event went to Ryan Tosoc ($238K) ahed of Anthony Maio ($175K) and Aussie Joel Feldman ($124K)
Shaun Deeb was also playing this while he was involved in the live events, he busted in 95th spot for $2640
Not much more to say about this one, to be honest.
Event 6, the $365 Giant NLH, final Day 1, total of 8920 entries
The final day 1 of the Giant has now concluded with a confirmed 535 players from across the five flights returning for Day 2.
Alexander Lokhov, Daniel Dealmeida and David Bellacose took the top three stacks forward from Day 1E, no-one getting close to the stack of Day 1B chip leader Jon Turner.
Five British players joined the part from today's play - Neil Edwards, Daniel Toffel, Frank Bastow, Hugh Cairnie and Andrew Abernathy.
No record of Shaun Deeb playing this one but apparently he was railing the action in this at 4am!

Apologies first as I’m a long time sitting in the shadows not posting, after falling back in love with the game/having a little more time to play my interest is booming and I must admit the diaries and updates on blonde are a fantastic read for someone like me. I first got on to blonde for the live updates and I think the people in higher places who sort out tournaments shouldn’t underestimate the power a forum like this has for generating interest to a game. Rightly or wrongly if I had the choice of 2 tourneys and 1was being live updated I’d go there. I am very much a recreational player so I understand that may be the wrong line to take but for me it’s about enjoyment as well as trying to bink.
Anyway back to my original post, I’m lucky enough to have been to Vegas albeit not for the wsop but these updates have got me hooked again so thank you.
I hope the forum can continue for a long time to come and I’d love it if the live updates were to come back one day.
Good luck to those still out there.

Event 56 - $10K 7 Card Razz Championship, Day 4 of 3, 119 entries
I said yesterday that "More time needed in Event 56", well it wasn't much more time as Calvin Anderson finished the job in just 5 hands.
The big hand was the fourth hand which went all the way to 7th street which left Kassela with just 2 ante chips, which disappeared in the very next hand.
It's the second bracelet for Anderson, he previously won a Stud High/Low bracelet in 2014.
Event 57 - $10K Ladies NLH Championship, 90% discount for ladies, Day 2 of 3, 696 entries
It was the fourth time Jessica Dawley cashed in the ladies event, but the very first time she has taken it all the way to the bracelet.
She won over $130K after a very short heads-up match with Jill Pike, the latter shoving her last 5BB with K4 and Dawley getting there after flopping a five to go with her holding of 85suited
Third place on the All-American final table went to Lisa Fong.
Event 58 - $5K 6-Max NLH, Day 3 of 4, 595 entries
Action paused after the FT was reached in Event 58, with the extrovert that is Jean-Robert Bellande having a large chip lead over his 5 opponents.
Second place is a British player, Dean Lyall while Kacper Pyzara from Poland is third.
Event 60 - $10K Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low 8 or Better Championship, Day 2 of 3, 218 entries so far
Of the 125 players who entered Day 2, only two dozen finished the day with chips.
Californian Michael McKenna holds the chip lead being the only player with over a million chips. Two players who come very early when names are listed in alphabetical order, Ali Abduljabbar and Michael Abecassis are his nearest challengers.
Some well known names among the 24 include Brandon Shack-Harris, Chris Ferguson, David "ODB" Baker, Phil Galfond and Eli Elezra
Unfortunately no Brits remain, the only cash coming from Thomas Cazayous in 30th for $15000.
Event 6, the $365 Giant NLH, Day 2 of 3, total of 8920 entries
The survivors from all 5 Day 1 flights came together and battled down to a FT of 9.
The biggest stack belongs to Brazilian Renato Kaneoya with Luis Vasquez second and Alexander Lakhov third.
There's a quarter of a million dollars for the winner and some pretty large pay jumps for a $365 event so this FT could get very cagey.
We were so close to having British representation on the FT - Jordan Bamford battled long and hard but went out in 10th spot after losing two successive hands to Vasquez.
Event 62 - $888 Crazy Eights 8 Max NLH re-entry, 3 Day Event including 4 starting flights over 2 Days, $888,888 guarantee
Two flights of the Crazy Eights saw 99 and 90 players respectively make it through.
GB players through from 1A - Peter Linton, Alexander Elias, Stavros Kalfas, Paul vas Nunes, Arkadi Kilman and Louis Salter, and from 1B just Peter Akery
Event 63 - $3200 WSOP.com Online NLH High Roller, 1 Day Event
356 different players plus 124 rebuys saw a prize pool of almost a million and a half dollars, with Chance Kornuth taking the bracelet and $341K share of that pool.
David Goodman and Timothy Nuter finished in the minor places, with the top 7 all showing as American.
To Start Today
Event 64 - $10K 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo Split 8 or Better Championship, 3 Day Event
plus the final starting flight of the $365 PLO Giant.

Event 58 - $5K 6-Max NLH, Day 4 of 4, 595 entries
It's a first bracelet (after several near misses including 2 second places) for Jean-Robert Bellande.
JRB finished off Scot Dean Lyall (yet another very deep run for a British player) by winning 11 out of the last 12 hands. First prize was $616K, while Lyall more than doubled his career earnings with his $380K payday.
Well known online player Andrew Graham finished third.
Event 60 - $10K Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low 8 or Better Championship, Day 3 of 3, 218 entries so far
Taking a break from organising a brand new poker site, Phil Galfond earned his third bracelet in a game that isn't among his regular high stakes online repertoire.
He only took the lead in the event partway through heads-up play with Day 2 leader Michael McKenna who had finished fourth in the $1500 Razz just last week.
On an all-American final table, Ali Abduljabber was the third placed finisher.
Event 6, the $365 Giant NLH, Day 2 of 3, total of 8920 entries
One of the shorter stacks at the FT, Jeremy Perrin's first ambition was to ladder up a few spots. Once had had sixth he aimed for third, and only when he made the Top 3 did he think about winning it.
He beat Puerto Rican Luis Vazquez heads up, with Bulgarian Svetlozar Nestorov third, the top 3 picking up $250K, $155K and $118 respectively.
Alexander Lekhov's fifth place was his second FT of the series.
Event 62 - $888 Crazy Eights 8 Max NLH re-entry, 3 Day Event including 4 starting flights over 2 Days, $888,888 guarantee first prize, 2495 entries
The final 2 starting flights of the Crazy Eights were concluded with a familiar name at the top of the 1C listings - Chris Moorman. Several other Brits through - Mark McGovern, Oliver Price, Ian Simpson (who I believe was a guest in the days of Channel 861) and Conor Beresford,
Some other well known names progressing too including Sorel Mizzi, Eric Baldwin, Marvin Rettenmaier & Ylon Schwartz
Flight 1D contributes 138 players to the Day 2 total with Andrew Wilson fresh from his cash in the Tag Team event as top Brit with Andrew Hills and Katie Swift both through too.
Matt Salsberg is the leader from this flight with former ME winner Ryan Riess (and his almost namesake Ryan Weiss) bagging chips and moving on to Day 2.
Event 64 - $10K 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo Split 8 or Better Championship, Day 1 of 3, 133 entries so far
A little under half of the starting field made Day 2, with the reigning champion of this event, Chris Vitch, topping the table. He is also looking to become one of a very few players to win bracelets in three straight years.
The good news from a UK perspective is that Stuart Rutter is continiung to have a fine series. 6 cashes including 3 at $10K entry levels could be added to as he lies third overnight, with Daham Wang in second.
Sonny Osman also sits inside the Top 10 with Adam Owen, Benny Glaser and Jason Gray are also through.
Event 11 - $365 PLO Giant, Final starting flight
You wouldn't exepct to see Michael Mizrachi playing too many events at this entry level, but he's had a go at this one and ended the day as the chip leader of this flight.
He is in fact the overall leader across the 5 flights, his 1.845m chips outranking all the other qualifiers. He leapt to the top of the listings midway through the day, had a little bit of a blip, but then hit quads on the penultimate hand to regain the advantage.
There isn't a full list of the qualifiers online yet, if there is anyone particularly noteworthy I'll update later.
To Start Today
It's the big one.
Event 65 - $10K Main Event NLH Championship, multi-day event with 3 Day 1s
It doesn't look like we are getting any TV coverage of the early action in the UK this year. Last year we got at least 2 hours per day from the beginning (remember the clash between Vanessa Selbst and Gaelle Baumann?) but I can't see anything on the Programme Guide for today.

A marching band just did "Gonna Fly Now" (Rocky song as he climbs the steps) up the Rio corridor.
Really hope Stu Rutter has organised that for his Stud 8 table move.

They are on pokerGo, need subscription but for the money and what you get I think its worth it. Lots of poker content, not just live tournaments/cash but also original content like documentaries, interviews, comedy poker show etc
