    Ooh, thank you very much!

    Fingers crossed for a bit of run-good, & some help from the deck.
     
    The Table looks a bit tough, so the plan is to exploit the image, grow a pair, & play back at some stage.

    So about 90 minutes to go until Day 2A kicks off.

    Here are the stats on this years main event:

    A total of 6,352 entries that creates a total prizepool of over $59,000,000!

    First place for this year is over $8,300,000.

    4186 players still remain in the hunt.  It's said that we will lose something like 55% of these players over 2A and 2B.

    Just to recap, here is Tikays table draw.  Thanks for FCHD.

    There's a table draw up now, which I believe is for Day 2a (although there is the slight possibility it is the table settings as at the very end of 1a, hope someone can clarify)

    AMAZON Table 375
    Seat 1 - Moon Kim (USA) 41,400 chips
    Seat 2 - Nick Maimone (USA)  93,000 chips
    Seat 3 - Matt Brady (USA) 30,225 chips
    Seat 4 - Michael Nia (USA)  124,000 chips
    Seat 5 - Martin Brinkmann (GER) 57.375 chips
    Seat 6 - Evan Silverstein (USA) 84.950 chips
    Seat 7 - Patrick Leonard (GBR) 22,375 chips
    Seat 8 - Mats Rosen (GBR) 49.875 chips
    Seat 9 - Tony Kendall (GBR) 24,975 chips


    Silverstein was the runner-up in Event 9 (the Shootout) for $185K

    As Tikay said earlier, the most known player is Patrick Leonard.

    Great guy and great player.  Puts so much effort in the game and is well known within the poker industry.

    Can see him being a bit of a nightmare to sit at a table with, especially if he gets a double up.

    As ever, producer Dan is working round the clock to film, edit and upload (on a very unstable internet connection) a load of videos from Vegas.

    Here's a couple from the past few days.

    Tikay and Stuart Rutter

    Tikay with Shane Warne - I believe that this, or an edited version, has been going out on Sky Sports News.  Tikay on SSN - who'd have thought?!

    Here are some noteables that made it thru yesterdays day 1C.  They will be playing tomorrow, Day 2B.

    59   Stephen   Chidwick   DEAL,   ,      GB   117550   Pavilion   /   115   /   2

    I had Stephen on my table last year in the main, and he knocked me out.  Amazing player and always seems to have a very good series but someone who just flies under the radar.  One year he won 100 Main Event packages online.

    60   Shaun   Conning   HERTFORDSHIRE,   ,      GB   117475   Amazon   /   386   /   5

    Shaun is a very popular player on the UK scene, and known as Claypole online.  Is a regular to the London G.

    79   Samuel   Grafton   LEAMINGTON   SPA,   ,   GB   112325   Amazon   /   376   /   5

    Sam Grafton played on the latest series of the Sky Sports UK Cash Game.  Very popular guy and puts everyone under so much pressure.

    319   Jake   Cody   ROCHDALE,   ,      GB   75200   Amazon   /   381   /   1

    Jake needs no introduction.  Winner of a 'triple crown' of an EPT, WPT and WSOP.  Final tabled this years 1k$ Turbo event.

    396   Surindar   Sunar   WOLVERHAMPTON,         GB   68800   Amazon   /   347   /   7

    Been on the UK scene forever.  Starred in the Danny Boyle movie Trance in the poker scene which also included Barny Boatman and Carlo.

    582   Sam   Holden   Eastbourne,   ,      GB   59425   Brasilia   /   50   /   1

    Made the 2011 November 9, where he was the shortstack and sadly couldn't find a spot to double so finished 9th.  Believe he had a pretty epic rail that year.  I believe he was also the highest ranking Brit last year too where he made another deep run.

    727   Nichiei   Hicks   West   Bridford,   ,   GB   52900   Brasilia   /   5   /   3

    Nick Hicks has had an amazing last couple of months.  Final tabled the ISPT and was part of the chop for something like 250k€, then a week later won a major online tournie for close to 200k$.  Got a real good chance for a deep run.

    763   Stuart   Rutter   BIRMINGHAM,   ,      GB   51675   Amazon   /   373   /   6

    Needs no introudction to Sky regulars.  Has called Vegas home for something close to 2 months and has had a few WSOP cashes this year.

    908   David   Vamplew   FIFE,   ,      GB   47500   Brasilia   /   64   /   7

    Has had a huge summer.  Came 2nd in bracelet events this year for something like 700k$.  Very professional about poker and seems to treat it in the right way.

     

    1175   Matt   Perrins   MANCHESTER,         GB   39100   Pavilion   /   178   /   4

    Won a bracelet in the 5k$ event a few days ago which had an epic rail, so is now the owner of 2 WSOP bracelets.  Interview with him can be found here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdPGSwCqjis


    1618   Christopher   Brammer   SOUTHAMPTON,         GB   26500   Brasilia   /   46   /   3

    Amazing player and someone who is probably in the top 1pc or 2pc of field in terms of ability.  Gets the absolute LOT online.


    1625   Matthew   Ashton   LIVERPOOL,   ,      GB   26375   Brasilia   /   78   /   3

    Won the 50k$ Poker Players Championship for 1.7m$ and had a great series in terms of cashes.  Think he is currently leading the player of the year contest


    1717   Sam   Trickett   RETFORD-   NOTTS,   ,   GB   24000   Amazon   /   430   /

    Sure whoever gets his table draw for 2B will be in for a nightmare!


    2178   John   Carew            GB   10875   Pavilion   /   176   /   2

    Former Aston Villa striker was here playing.  Sadly on a shortstack but hope he can find the double soon!

    Still loving this thread, Ryan. Great work. 

    As for you Tikay, you've had more than enough good lucks as far as I'm concerned. So I'll simply say this: If you don't make it to Day 3 you will NEVER hear the end of it from me on the show. Incentive enough? Thought so. Now, go get 'em tiger!

    A false tell imo, he knows his opponents will be doing research, our man is very good at building an image :)

    Good luck!
