great news about over night brit cashes, lets hope this is a good start to a long summer of cashes, great stories again tikay, can't wait for more people heading out and the action coming thick and fast.
Yes I had been wondering what Praz has been up lately, I guessed it would be towards not playing much these days rather than not final tabling everything as per normal. The guy, in fact the whole lot of them, are just too good at the game. To quote a man of action next door, one day Praz will be sat with everyone else's money in front of him, with his little hat on.
I watched the FT of Vamplews event, the massive cl Pope did a great job of bullying and keeping them laddering, helped that he got some decent hold cards (FYI guys they are showing ALL final tables on a 30 min delay with hole cards shown, you can get their from official site).
Final hand agony for David, id feel great getting it in with A6 vs 55, and pretty happy with a JQJ flop with 3 more outs, the turn giving another 3 outs would have made me think how can i miss the river .............. well he did lol
In the $1,500 Six Max NLHE, there were 1,069 runners, & the last I heard, there were just 2 left, being John Beauprez & a German chap, Manig Loeser.
Those who cashed included Joe Cada, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, & Humberto Brenes.
Humberto certainly has the ability to irritate when he so desires, but is a much better player than he is given credit for, he is one of those players who attracts endless "lolpro" comments from a certain section of the poker poulation.
I think this was about his 70th WSOP cash, which may not be a record, but it cannot be far off. That does not prove he is a great player, of course, but clearly he has at least a modicum of ability.
In that $1,500 Six Max, there was a handful of cashes for the Europeans, including some Brits.
Craig McCorkell caught the eye, (59th, $4,000).
He cashed 4 times in last year's WSOP, including binking a bracelet in the $3,000 NLHE Shootout, & 172nd in the Main for around $45,000.
Craig is what is known these days as a "sicko". Not because he is ill, but he crushes online MTT's.
I think he lives down near Brighton.
It was Craig that was, sort of, responsible for the rather loud Brit Rail last year, with the shoe bombs & all that stuff, because it was when he won his Bracelet that it all kicked off.
Martin Malone also cashed for the Brits, as did Scott O'Reilly. Sadan Turker, & Niall Farrell.
That Event has now concluded, ended, finished, terminalised, & the winner ($325,000) was John Beauprez, an American chap, wth the German guy, Manig Loeser, coming 2nd for $201,000.
Manig's home town on the WSOP records is indicated as Bad Homburg.
I had assumed "Bad Homburg" was some sort of in joke, but in fact Bad Homburg is a real place, in Germany, reputed to have more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in Germany.
Event # 5 was the $2,500 LIMIT Omaha/7 Card Stud Hi-Low 8 or Better.
374 began, just 2 remain, both being American, Messrs Tong & Gorodinsky.
Other cashess included Mike Matusow & Daniel Negranau.
The mad (nice mad, not mad mad) bandino-wearing Italian, Max Pescatori cashed, too.
A near miss for Matthew Ashton from Liverpool, who finished 3rd. Oooh! Zimnan Zayird was the other Brit casher.
One of the poker players I have most respect for cashed, the London-based Swede, Chris Bjorin, Mr Get It Quietly. It was his 67th WSOP cash. Now THAT is a proper player.
The big news from the whopping 6,300 runner "Millioinaire Maker" ($1.2 MILLION to the winner) is that with around 200 players remaining, John Eames is over double average.
Few players in the world can live with John when he has his A-Game on, & he could well go very deep in this.
Neil Channing was 275th, for a respectable $5,300.
Good Luck to all the Brits out in Vegas & Good Luck to any Sky Poker Players who will also be there, look forward to reading there Updates on this Thread Great Job Tikay as always
In Event #5, the $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or Better, there was a fine performance by Matthew Ashton of Liverpool, who ended up 3rd, for $86,000.
Little Danny was 12th, & Mike Matusow 14th.
Also in the money was our friend Zimnan Ziyard, who we followed extensively last year. He is the chap who used to room share with MariusZ, who won one of our SPT's in Nottingham.
Allyn Shulman min-cashed, as did the delightfully named Ronald Winkelvoss.
Event # 9 is a $3,000 Shootout, & with 60 left, & being a Shootout, it is hard to make sense of who is leading, because it sort of works by tables, but I think young Mr Cody is still in.

I mentioned this morning that Praz Banzi rarely plays these days.
In fact I now note he is deep in that Wembley thing, & incredibly, sharing a table with another man I mentioned in the same post - James Akenhead.
I also see that "runitsrann" is deep in the same event - good luck James!
Good morning.
The WSOP rolls on......

Another European casher in that same event was an old friend of mine, Andreas Hoivold.
OFFICIAL CORRECTION
My apologies, that was the wrong photo for Andreas.

So there.

Thanks James.
Go on, book a flight, you know you want to.
A fairly quiet day in Las Vegas for the Brits yesterday, so not much to report, but we'll do a brief update.
If time permits, I'll also try & catch up on questions which I have this far dodged.
May even upload the first Vegas 2013 Blog.....

Allyn Shulman min-cashed, as did the delightfully named Ronald Winkelvoss.
In the 6,343 runner (!) "Millionaire Maker", they are down to 12, with no remaining Brit interest.
John Eames was amongst a handful of Brits who cashed.
In Event # 7, $1,000 NLH, they are down to 2 Tables, with no Brit interest.
In fact, amongst the 198 who got paid, I only spotted two Brits, being Andrew Teng & Jack Salter.
Move on, nothing to see here.
In Event # 8, the Eight Game mix, just 26 of 388 remain.
Our aforementioned friend Zinman Ziyard is amongst those 26, so he must have been Live Multii-Tabling I guess.
Event # 9 is a $3,000 Shootout, & with 60 left, & being a Shootout, it is hard to make sense of who is leading, because it sort of works by tables, but I think young Mr Cody is still in.
