Was just wondering how many Sky Poker Players are gonna be out in Vegas between now & the Main Event & if Possible what Events will they be playing as it would be good to follow there progress
OK, bit of an update from those I left "hanging" a little earlier on
WSOP48 - $2500 Limit Hold'em 6 max 343 entrants They stopped at 12 players (so 2 tables), Danny Le's 421000 chips making him the chip leader with Danny Warchol only 4000 behind. Ho/Helppi/Bakes in 4th/5th & 6th
WSOP49 - $1500 NLH - 2247 entrants Looks like I was a little premature thinking the above was the end of day position. In fact on 243 play on with Yun Lo & Tue Phan the chip leaders. Brits noted as still in the top half - Sadan Turker (27th), Louis Salter (51st), Najib Kamand (75th), Jonas Lauck (105th) - not a 7 letter or longer name betwen them but still nowhere near short enough monickers to be chip leaders!
Further down are the likes of Barny Boatman, Alberto Flores, Simon Deadman, Simon Child, Andrew Teng, Neil Channing, Daniel Gill, Adrian Passfield, and Marc Foggin who is shown as one of four players with 1 chip.
WSOP50 - $2500 10 game mix, 6-max - 372 entrants Again, the previous posting was out of date. Brits leading at the end of a day have been more common in recent days and we have one here as well - Howard Smith from Bedford. Other UK players (or at least shown by WSOP as from the UK) Sebastion Saffari, Thomas Kettel, Robert Price (another good run by the Cornishman looming?) & Matthew Ashton
Super good luck to Natalie in the ladies event, hope not too many men try to spoil it.
As far as the updates go so far, it looks like it is all ladies. Among those noted as playing - Vicky Coren, Annette Obrestad, Kathy Liebert, Gaelle Baumann, Jennifer Tilly, Allyn Jaffrey Shulman, Vanessa Selbst & Natalie Bromley
Good morning from a frighteningly hot Las Vegas. We're expecting record breaking temperatures this week. Think I'll stay indoors ....
Firstly, I'd like to extend a massive thank you to the Sky community for the kind words and good luck wishes that have been sent my way. You're an incredible bunch, I hope you know that.
I'm sad to report that I bust the WSOP Ladies about 10pm (6am local time). I had a horrible hand with KK which knocked me down to 15 bigs, then never recovered. Got it in with AQdd v 10 10 but the pair held. I finished top 200 (the board was a little erratic and not that reliable so the exact position is as yet unknown). I was really pleased so given that I had to play 7 hours with a certain Liv Boeree (nursing the chip lead) directly to my left. Tough day in the office but I did the Brits (and Sky Players) proud and wasn't that far off making day two in the end. Sigh.
I will post more when I return, along with some pics. I have a full poker schedule planned for the week so hopefully a nice cash will come my way. I'll also let you know if Mr Brommers decides to play a bracelet event.
WSOP47 - $111,111 NLH for One Drop - 166 entrants The One Drop has gone into an unscheduled Day 4 with 4 players remaining, Bill Perkins (Chip leader), Anthony Gregg, Chris Klodnicki and one Antonio Esfandiari. It would be some story if The Magician could win One Drop two years in a row...
WSOP48 - $2500 Limit Hold'em 6 max - 343 entrants With event 47 still going on, Event 48 finished on schedule. Marco Johnson took the bracelet and over $200,000. Previously he had finished runner-up in a WSOP event three times, including this same event last year and one event earlier in the current series. This time he crossed the line ahead of fellow-American Jeff Thompson with Juha Helppi best Euro in third.
WSOP49 - $1500 NLH - 2247 entrants 21 players make Day 3 headed by Swedish pro Robin Ylitalo (glad I didn't type this up in Word first, that would have sent spell-check into a meltdown!). British news centres on the Hendon Mob's Barny Boatman, who lies in 11th place overnight and is guaranteed over $15K. There were also cashes for british players Simon Deadman, Louis Salter, Sadan Turker, Simon Child, Marac Foggin, Najib Kamand, Andrew Teng, Jonas Lauck, Adrian Passfield, Neil Channing & Alberto Flores
WSOP50 - $2500 10 game mix, 6-max - 372 entrants Down to 20 with last year's 12 placer in the Main Event, Scott Adams, in the lead. Sebastian Saffari leads the British challenge in 2nd, Philip Sternheimer who I'm still not too sure about (from London,UK,US remember) is 3rd & Thomas Kettel 11th. One big name still in is Gregg Raymer, but Scotty Nguyen was the last elimination of the night.
WSOP51 - $10,000 Ladies Championship - 954 entrants Sadly no Natalie Bromley among the 122 survivors led by Christine Priday from the wonderfully named "Commerce City, Colorado" (which contains the home ground of the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer). Lynne Beaumont heads a fairly small GB contingent in 6th, the others being Liv Boeree (14th), Eleanor Gudger (19th) and Claire Renaut (48th). 117 will get paid so they'll be virtually on the bubble when play resumes
WSOP52 - $25,000 NLH 6 max - 175 entrants Early days in this one (only 8 levels played on Day 1 compared to 10 in most other events), with 101 players coming back for Day 2. Maxi Lehmanski holds the chip lead, with the likes of Phil Galfont, Marvin Rettenmaier, David "Bakes" Baker & Brian Rast all close behind. Flying the Union Flag - Stephen Chidwick, Mark Teltscher, Talal Shakerchi & a short stacked Chris Brammer.
Congrats to Barny Boatman for winning his first bracelet today! Great result nod hopefully this will open the flood gates for more British bracelets this Summer :-) Posted by dylan12
WSOP47 - $111,111 NLH for One Drop - 166 entrants Esfandiari couldn't defend his high roller crown as he was first out on the unscheduled Day 4. The huge prize and the braceleyt went to Tony Gregg
WSOP49 - $1500 NLH - 2247 entrants Woo-hoo! A British bracelet at last. And it went to one of the most respected names in British poker - Barny Boatman. After being about average stacked for a very long time, he changed gears on the final table eliminating several of the players to get down to heads up with Brian O'Donoghue. A long heads up battle ensued before the Hendon Mob man took down the event aftergoing all in with pocket 10s against AK, an hitting a 10 on the flop. Cue huge celebrations from the notoriously loud British rail!
WSOP50 - $2500 10 game mix, 6-max - 372 entrants So close and yet so far to a British double. Sebastien Saffari had to settle for 2nd place and $135K, with Philip Sternheimer in 3rd. The dastardly American who dashed the Brits' dreams was Brandon Wong.
WSOP51 - $10,000 Ladies Championship - 954 entrants Down to a final table of nine. Shana Matthews has most chips going into Day 3 ahead of Day 1 chip leader Chris Priday. British hopes rely on Eleanor Gudger (3rd) as Lynne Beaumont & Claire Renaut just missed the final table in 10th & 11th respectively. Liv Boeree went out in 54th, and I have reason to believe Kelly Peters in 115th may be from these shores as well even though she is shown as from Guatemala in the results.
WSOP52 - $25,000 NLH 6 max - 175 entrants Day 1 chip leader Max Lehamnski ended Day still as the chip leader and one of just 18 survivors. All 18 are in the money after a bubble of two and a half hours where level 17 was played twice to get to the position the WSOP wanted for Day 3. Stephen Chidwick, who is having a very good series, is the only UK player still in, in 2nd place.
WSOP53 - $1500 NLH - 2816 entrants 320 have made the cut for Day 2 so still quite a bit of play before the bubble bursts. Bigger than all the other 1500 events except the Millionaire Maker, this one boasts a first prize of nearly two thirds of a million dollars. Alben Juan holds the chip lead, with David Vamplew on the edge of the top 10 the best of the Brits. Others marked with "GB" - Chris Moorman, Iqbal Ahmed, Talal Shakerchi, Nichiei Hicks, Jack Ellwood, Luke Marsh, Sunny Chattha, Lee Taylor, Neil Macfayden, John Eames, Sebastian Gohr, Darren Judges, Mark Dillon, James Rann & Paul Foltyn.
