    Also going well in the same event is Brandon Cantu.
     
    Probably best if I don't tell the story right now, but he caused quite a hoohah in the 2012 WSOP-E.

    google is your friend, "Brandon Cantu robbed". There is some stuff about the whole affair on You Tube, too.
     
    If you think I rant on a bit when it comes to important stuff like concrete, wait till you listen to Brandon......

    Guess we've all been there & done that when we lose a game of poker, especially when we first begin our poker journey, & I hope he puts it behind him now, as bellyaching ain't ever gonna solve his problem. Very fine player, obviously.

    Event 3 is also underway.

    This is a very odd affair, I don't recollect the WSOP ever doing anything like this previously.

    It is a $1,000 NLHE, with TWO opening flights  on the same day, one at 11am, the other at 5pm. Those who bust the morning flight can enter the afternoon flight, so it is a sort of rebuy/re-entry jobbie. 

    The first flight attracted a whopping 1,800+ entries, of which less than 600 currently remain. The numbers for second flight  are not yet available.

    In that $5,000 Event # 2, the 8-handed thing, they are down to 40, & with 56 paid, so everyone is in the money.

    David Vamplew sits in 4th place at present, & has $11,235 locked up, but will be gunning for the top prize of $553,906. Ooohh, half a mill......

    Last news I had of David Vamplew in the $5k 8 Handed, there were 30 left ($13,000+ locked up) & he was still a top ten stack.

    I don't mind the chants so much.  It's when an American screams 'GET IN THE HOLE!'  After a player tees off.  On a Par 4.

    Silly sausages.

    I was playing at the Rio in the same room as when Brammer was on the final table. People at my table didn't really know what was going on! Was a great atmosphere. Hopefully more of the same this year, I think the Brits have a great chance of some bracelets this year. Also, love the thread Tikay!

    As much as absolutely hate the line taken/choices made with the VLV promo...

    Credit where it's due this is a great thread, and the effort put in by Tikay is commendable to say the least.
    I know for one, I'll be thoroughly enjoying it. Great work Mr. Kendall.

    Found it. The interesting thing here is the part about selling action, which is quite a hot debate these days. David reckoned he would not sell for the WSOP Main Event at less than 1.8! I actually asked him after the interview if I could buy some of his Main Event action at 1.8, & he turned me down. "I don't sell action, except to one close friend, & I limit him to 1%".  David happily swims very much against the tide.......he is a smashing lad, & I hope he gets the lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwECkUxrzd8

    Yes..... Take for example a £1000 buyin tournament

    If you sell at face value, you would sell 1% for £10 and for that £10 the staker would be paid 1% of any winnings.

    Selling at 1.8 means 1% will cost £10 x 1.8 = £18 and for that £18 the staker would be paid 1% of any winnings.

    We were also playing in this room during the Brammer FT, alongside Scotty and Dylan.  Was hilarious. Brit Rail of epic proportions.

    Most ridiculous moment of the whole trip was seeing "Dan Edler" getting shown a friendly hand to the door after instigating various acts of sillyness; I recall the Shoe-Bomb (like a Jaegar-Bomb, but with a shoe (obvs)), the box that doubled up as a glass and the curious case of the flying shoes.

    "Shoes off ... if you LOVE Brammer ...."
