WSOP MAIN EVENT LIVE UPDATE - SECOND DAY ONE

[NoflopsHomer]

I've just finished work and am gripped by the story of the missing 5k chip?

Any news or will they have to call in Columbo?? 

[Yogi-Bear]

Seems like they is having a few difficulties over there. Probably been moved from the CORRIDOR.
HEHEHEHEHE

Hope to read what happened when I surface tomorrow.

MAJOR discon problems here, not a single laptop in the Press Room will pick up the wireless connection, bear with us please.

[ifm]

Not good enough, we fly you out, spend a fortune on your food and hair dye and you can't even say hello

[tikay]

Hello.

The entire Media Room is computer dead. I have my (very slow) Vodafone connect thingymajig.

[tikay]

How about this for an example of Triumph over Adversity.......

This gentleman has no arms, and uses his feet as hands, toes as fingers.

He chucks his blinds in, checks both his cards, picks up a stack of chips to raise with, & passes his cards - all of these using his toes.

[tikay]

Keith Hawkins OUT. He was a bit thin - not often he's described thus - but his 7-7 was well beaten by his oppos QQ, who, just to be really  safe, caught two MORE Queens......

[tikay]

Djinn here - There seems to be a conference centre-wide wireless network failure so I have snuck into the press room to use the archaic but, crucially, operational mobile thingy which Tikay uses.  At least we're connected, unlike most people....

Some counts:


Peter Costa  22,000
Allyn Jaffrey Shulman  10,500
Moneymaker   29,000
Steve Vladar   10,000
Joe Beevers   24,000

[Djinn]

Steve Vladar out

He was relatively short, moved all in with AJh.  Called by A 10.  Even when the 10 came on the flop it was with a Q 8 giving him a few more outs.  Sadly, none hit.

Blinds are now $200 $400 with a $50 ante and they are down to 93 tables

[Djinn]

Ian 'At-it' Bradley taken a couple of knocks and now on 35,000.  According to Julian, a lady player of the Scandinavian persuasion has 90k and is running over the table in a truly dangerous fashion.  Name forthcoming...

[Djinn]

PokerStars qualifier Graham Harrison also in the top of the chip leaderboard at the moment with 80,000
Dom Williams  22,000

Players dropping pretty rapidly and they are juggling the remaining 900ish around.  Every couple of minutes there's one of those dealer shouts "SEAT OPEN 22" etc. while the former occupant of the seat is still walking off. 

[Djinn]

Rob Yong out with AK vs AA...

At It Bradley 45k
Justin O'Shaugnessey  8k
John Kabbaj  28k
Joe Beevers  24k
Paul Zimbler  58k
Elky  14k
Achilleas  17k
Channing  14k
Moneymaker  28k
Roland de Wolfe  36k
Gary Bush  21k
Annie Duke 11k

[Djinn]

Richard Ashbury  23,000
Gary Jones 4,000
Jamie Posner 9,000
At-it Bradley  30,000
Carmel Petresce 80,000 (the lady on Bradley's table who we thought was Scandinavian but is actually from Las Vegas)

[Djinn]

For Petresce read Petresco
For Ashbury read Ashby
For typo read sleepy
