WSOP10 - $1,500 Limit Hold'em 645 entrants Brent Wheeler took down the $191,000 first prize, denying Canadian Mark Mierkalns. Malissia Zapata finished 3rd for the best female finish so far this year.
WSOP11 - $2,500 6Max NLH, 924 entrants Levi Berger knocked out all of his final table opponents single handed to take his first bracelet and $473,000
Events in progress
WSOP12 - $1,500 Pot Limit Holdem, 535 entrants Down to a final table, with Eric Crain the chip leader. Crain has already had a deep run in WSOP8 - the 8-game mix, but lying second in chips is the dangerous Allen Cunningham. The 2-tabling Jason Mercier ended up 27th, while Martin Stazsko earned a min-cash
WSOP13 - $5,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better, 201 entrants Day 2 is still in play with 22 players remaining, so they're at least in the money. Eli Elezra, Mike Matusow & Euegene Katchalov are hangnig on with small stacks, with the chip leader being Israeli Yuval Bronshtein. Sad to report the likes of Mike Sexton, Norman Chad and Stuart Rutter have been eliminated
WSOP14, $1500 NLH - 1819 entrants Day 1 is about to draw to a close, with the money bubble approaching. Sam Trickett is still in (albeit with a small stack, Neil Channing & David Vamplew with a slightly bigger stack. Chip leader is Zal Arani, with double 2010 bracelet winner Frank Kassela close behind. Barry Shulman (these Shulmans get everywhere) is still there along with at least 1 Mizrachi brother, Phil Ivey, Joe Cada & Carlos Mortensen
WSOP13 has ended Day 2 with 20 left, Yuval Bronshtein leads with 433K, Eric Rodawig (who won the 10K bracelet in this game in 2011 lies 2nd with 323K and then no one else has over 230K. Those in contention include David "bakes" Baker, Gavin Smith & Mike Matusow, all in the top half of those left.
WSOP14 has also bagged up for the night with 204 of the />1800 original entrants making Day 2. Grant Curnow now has the chip lead, with Frank Kassela still second and Erick Lindgren now appearing in the picture along with Paul Wasicka who was ME runner-up and the chief victim of Jamie Gold's run as the "luckiest poker player on the planet" - WSOP's words not mine!
Hi all. I have just got back from Vegas yesterday. Just thought I would share my experience with everyone as there seems to be a lot of interest on this thread for all things WSOP.
I won a satellite at my local club for a £3k package which included entry to Event 3 $1000. This was a dream for me as it was my first trip to vegas and obviously my chance to pit my wits against, supposedly the best players in the world.
I am a low stakes player and have played on SKY for several years. I did very well in my early years, admittedly through an aggressive poker instinct rather than skill. I got made redundant from work 3 years ago and things have been a struggle since then, but I still play as much as I can and often as I can, never losing the infatuation with the game and people involved.
With in the last year I have started to read alot more books, searching forums (although not posting - which is hopefully something I am going to change, and working through hands ands situation with my fellow poker freinds.
Any way, to get back to the thread - I played Event 3 which had a massive turnout of approx 3200 runners. I managed to cash as well in 222nd. So 1 for 1. On my first table was John Duthie who won the first poker million and i beleive is involved with the EPT tour. Then joined, after a few levels 'Greg Raymer' , man can this guy talk. I do not think he stopped talking from the minute he joined to up to 20 mins after he was knocked out! The guy who knocked him out received a fossil inscribed with the details of the knockout which I thought was decent of him - he said if the guy who knocks him out is a dou-che he does not give the fossil! Also had Jake cody on the table opposite, Ivey 2 tbls down and saw Vladimir Geschkenbein (Spelt wrongly?) wandering around at the break. On day 2 I introduced myself to Sam Razavi and wished him good luck. At my day 2 table of note was Barry Shulman - who I managed to ko - my AA v his KK. Was dissapointed when he refused to shake my hand after his exit?
With 250 left I had 60bb at 500/1000/100 and with 1/2mil up top was getting excited, then this hand happened!. Villain has 48bb at the start. I rasied with 88 utg and got 1 caller from the c/o. flop 8h4d3d (6600) I cbet to 3800, villain calls. Turn(14400) is jh. I fire again with a big bet of 9750. The thinking being if he is flush drawing I need to protect my hand by offering the incorrect odds for him to call. If he has flopped the set (33,44) i am trying to extract as much value as posssible. Thridly to define my hand and hopefully to define the villains hand better. Villain calls. River(33900) is 2s. I see this as a blank- I can not put the villain on a5 or 65 as he would probably not call the turn bet. I am pretty sure he does not have jj as he would probably 3bet pre. So I narrow him down to 33 or 44 - possibly missed flush draws, and the very unlikely aj. Given this I decide I can value bet the river confident if he shoves I can call. I could check call this river (allowing him to bluff with missed flush draws, turning his kj/99/1010 hands into a bluff) but given the logic I feel I am so far ahead Ineed to get as much value as I can. I make it 11250, villain shoves? He must have 33/44, I call 20k more to win 65k and a top 10 stack with only 250 left in. Life is great - ohno - what does he have- a5dd! fml. So #I have 10bb left and shove last hand before break with aqdd, get called by qq and I am out.
Despite my exit I thouroughly enjoyed my experience, and after virtual railing several others over the years through this forum am glad to be finally able to post my own experience.
Gl to all those who are planning on playing this year, and anyone who is thinking about and has never been - YOU HAVE TO GO!!! It will be the best experience of your poker journey thus far!

Hi Bigshann
Ty very much for this insight to the wsop. Great memories eh? Seemed a bit of a rotten hand to lose a lot of chips on but good logic involved i feel. All the best....
What a shame for Stu Rutter. Imo probably in the top two analysts for sky. It would have been nice for him to upend Matusow, who if you've read his book, is a rather flawed character to say the least. Its odd that hes had some success at poker as he always seem on the edge of tilting, to my mind.
Have a look on YT at a hand where he refused insurance from Tony G then gets a bad beat v Eric Seidel's who gets runner runner to beat beat Mikes two pairs. consequently he runs off to tell others that he wanted to get insurance!!!
Stu Rutter is a big loss to the show. Knows his stuff and has a great way of getting his point across. And he eliminated me from the last Roller I played

Fantastic post. Well played. Barry Shulman is a ***** ***** ***** anyway.
WSOP12 - $1,500 Pot Limit Holdem, 535 entrants Allen Cunningham couldn't quite take down his 6th WSOP bracelet as he lost the heads up match to fellow Las Vegas native Lev Rofman who was winning his first. Rofman earned $166,000 while Cunningham made just over $100,000. Top Brit was Sunny Chattha in 16th for $6478
WSOP13 - $5,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-Better, 201 entrants We're down to heads-up for the bracelet, with none other than Mike Matusow competing against Matthew Ashton. As I speak, chips are about even, winner takes home just over a quarter of a million. Could Ashton bring home the first bracelet to the UK for quite some time? We'll know soon enough. He came 3rd in WSOP5, so he's already gone at least one better
Events in progress
WSOP14, $1500 NLH - 1819 entrants After 2 days, we have 14 left to play for the bracelet in day 3. Hiren Patel is the leader, in a field remarkably short on big names at this stage. Looks like the top Brit was Joel Ettedgi who busted in 35th.
WSOP15 - $1500 Horse - 862 entrants 177 remain at the end of day 1 with Jon Seaman a smidgin ahead of 4-time bracelet winner David Chiu. Norman Chad is among the survivors, with a pretty small stack, but the likes of Jesse Sylvia & Andy Bloch are in better shape.
WSOP16 - $10000 NLH Heads Up - 162 entrants There was a 512- player limit but there was never a chance that that would be tested. In the end 162 registered, meaning the field had tho play either 2 or 3 heads-up matches to make the final 32 to go forward to Day 2. Among those still standing are Jason Mercier, Sam Trickett, Michael Mizrachi, Phil Galfond and Melaine Weisner who has had several decent runs at the Series already.
Mike The Mouth got the better of Matthew Ashton to claim his fourth bracelet.
I know that won't be a particularly popular result, even in most of the US, but Matusow must have a decent game when he shuts up moaning about how bad he runs, 4 bracelets, winner of the NBC heads-up earlier this year and at least 2 decent runs in the Main Event. Still, if there was one poker player I wanted to slap it would be a close run thing between him, Tony G & Phil Helmuth
Shame about Stu being knocked out but even more so not being on Sky no more :-( Fantastic thread btw, but can I request FCHD to up the font size slightly? I'm an oldgit with failing eyesight! Posted by SoLack
"And i DONT like it" .....................
Stu did a great job to run so deep in such a stellar field, glad a brit managed to make the FT and even HU, shame the tilt monkey had to win but pffft whatever.
Would have liked to see the nice guy Allen Cunningham win another bracelet, but runner up was destined for him in the PLHE event.
Event concluding Saturday 8th WSOP14, $1500 NLH - 1819 entrants Another bracelet stayed in the USA after Jonathan Taylor (from the wonderfully named small town of Phil Campbell, Alabama) won the heads-up battle with Blake Bohn to capture the first prize of over $450,000.
Highest placed of the well-known players was Erick Lindgren just inside the Top 20, while you have go down all the way to 40th to find someone with the Union Flag against his name, David Macconachie, who made just under $9,000.
Ongoing events WSOP15 - $1500 Horse - 862 entrants Day 2 is ongoing, with a couple of dozen players left fighting it out through the 5 variants of poker.
Success in this one too seems to have eluded the Brits, with David Tarbet looking like the only one to make a small cash.
Veteran Tom Schneider (winner of 2 bracelets in 2007) is among those still in and managing a decent stack.
WSOP16 - $10000 NLH Heads Up - 162 entrants Play has ended for the day with the semi-finals pitting together Justin Bonomo v Mark Radoja & Ben Sulsky v Don Nguyen.
Mercier & Trickett both lost their first match of the day denying them even a min-cash, Phil Galfond lost in the last 16 while a typically agitated Phil Hellmuth bowed out in the quarter finals.
WSOP17 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em - 2105 entrants With an increase of nearly 300 players on the previous similar event (WSOP14), it is a long Day 1 to eliminate most of the field.
As it stands, 324 are left with Joe Cada among the chip leaders. Matt Jarvis is also "up there" for the UK, while the Shulman to watch in this event seems to be Allyn who has a medium-stack.
Greenstein, Selbst and Cody are also still in but there is still some action to be played out tonight Vegas time.
Events to start on Sunday WSOP18 - $1,000 NLH WSOP19 - $5,000 Pot Limit Hold'em
WSOP15 ended play for the day with 21 left, headed Mark Klecan on about half a million chips, Eddie Blumenthal on 443K and Scott Bohlman on 382K. None have won a bracelet before, but several of the other 18 have. Average stack is 171K, they will play to a finish tonight
WSOP17 has 226 left in, with 216 to be paid so it's very close to the bubble overnight. Levon Katchatryan holds the overnight lead with 176K (average 41K). If the chip count list I've seen is accurate, Matt Jarvis has 101K, the likes of Greenstein, Selbst & Cada all around 60K. Those with considerably smaller stacks but still standing include Jake Cody, Allen Cunningham. Jeremy Ausmus & Jesse Silvia (both from last year's October 9), Marvin Rettenmaier, "Men The Master" and Jonathan Duhamel who appears to have had a rather slow start to this year's WSOP
