WSOP LIVE UPDATE - DAY FIVE (PROPER)

[Ironside]

Take him on Ironside. I'll stake you. Winnings to P4C. He's easy.

i'll stake myself tikay i aint that poor winning for my bankroll as 5$ would cost to much to send to P4C but they will get some off me another time

[Bongo]

Goodluck Ironside, I shall now depart to the land of Nod.

Hi Sarah

Only another seven to go out before they stop for the day.  I'm busy chatting to Sean and Conor Jnr in their hotel room on MSN

[Ironside]

looks like sig has turned off chat in the stars room he is in so guess it will have to wait for another night

Confusion about the break

One of the players, Bing Wang mistakenly thought it was a dinner break instead of a normal break between levels and did not return to his table in time. He was short-stacked and in jeapardy of being blinded and anted off and Andrew Black, in a show off good sportsmanship, refused to play in his absence. The rest of the table was very much in disagreement with him but finally, Wang was tracked down and play resumed.

hi micky, i dont know how much longer i can keep my eyes open, but i'm gunna try

Yes it's all getting a bit tense especially around the filmed Feature Table.  Tiffany is on there next to Greg Raymer who is next to Tim Pham (who just doubled someone up calling with AK against a pair of nines.  The flop came with a 9 on it and then the board paired clinching it and Tim Pham is looking less ahead of the field in chips than he has been all week).

Matusow now has 5,500,000 which puts him at nearly 10% of the chips in play, nearly enough for the final, although of course it's no-limit and things change pretty rapidly.

[Djinn]

The blinds are now $1500 - $3000 with a $500 ante.  Everybody has a different opinion on how many players there are left in here (average 31).  Better just go and count them if I can get to the front.

How's Conor doing?  I haven't heard anything for a while!!!!

[Micky147]

Hi Sarah,

Ironside, you WATCHED my update on Poker 425? I thought it was a phone-in. Don't tell me they have a pic up on screen.......

And this morning - I swear this is true - Davey Newth and Angie arrived in Vegas, & Angie strolled into the Press Room. At that moment - that VERY moment - the blondepoker site crashed. She left 2 minutes later, and the site returned to normal immediately.

Ohh, and I saw Royal Flush, too. And he reminded me - I'd clean forgot - that following my WSOP Cash on Monday, I owe P4C $40. I pledged, I seem to recall, 1% of my Vegas winnings to P4C. If that is wrong - I posted it somewhere - please let me know.

Fantastic, keep up the good work Conor.

Got these from Pokerwire, but there seems to be several discrepancies between their reporting and that of cardplayer.com who have 2 players going out on 34th place for example and different players actually eliminating someone. Who knows what's really happening.
