70 Michael Stembera 69 Chanracy Khun 68 Tony Ruberto 67 Steven Bennett 66 Chad Eveslage 65 Daniel Wilson - last Irishman departs 64 Brian Hastings
This means the payouts now leap to $124K.
Still not a single mention of a Rutter hand on the text updates, nor from Iaron Lightbourne. Paul Senter has only been mentioned as folding to a 3-bet but at least Craig McCorkelll has featured a couple of times - 1 good and 1 bad.
And with that kind of stack, it's not surprising that the next thing I type is :
59 Stuart Rutter
Chris Odle raised in the hijack with AK suited, Stu shoved for his last fea chips from the Big Blind but only had Q9 suited.
The flop of 45K meant the writing was on the wall and two more fives followed on the turn and river to eliminate our man.
Still, it has been a fantastic run and hope you've all had a good time railing him from the UK through this thread. I'm sure Stuart will have some fantastic memories to share with us the next time he is on Channel 861.
I'm calling it a day for tonight (if that makes any sense), will pick it up in the morning to see if any of the other British players can make the last 27 and Day 7.
So with the departure of Stuart Rutter, attention shifts to the other 3 Briitsh players to see just how far they can go, and to see if one or more of them can progress to the final table.
Well, we're down to 2 now as Paul Senter has gone in 39th place for a payday of over $186K.
Craig McCorkell is thriving, he is currently in the top 5 in chips, while the other UK player left, Iaron Lightbourne sits about in the middle of the pack.
Bustouts since Stuart
58 William Cole 57 Vitaly Lunkin 56 Clayton Hamm 55 Alexios Zervos 54 Kyung Cha 53 Trevor Martin 52 Isaac Baron 51 Jason Johnon 50 David Yingling 49 Chris Odle 48 Ryan Fair 47 Jason Weber 46 Vladimir Bozinovic 45 Matt Waxman 44 Clayton Maguire 43 David Tuthill 42 Michael Finstein 41 Adam Lamphere 40 Michael Kamran 39 Paul Senter 38 Shahen Martirosian 37 Gal Erlichman
36 remain, they are intending to play down to 27 players to finish Day 6. The current payout level is a little over $230K
Day 6 end of day report, a little deflated but on reflection Stuart managing 59th out of a field of about 6700 players is a massive achievement. Being card dead and having pressure put on you by two huge stacks on your right can't have made it easy for him to find a spot to try and double up with.
Anyway, moving on as we must
Final set of eliminations on Day 6
36 Aaron Kaiser (who had employed some unpopular stalling tactics when 37 were left in to get to the next pay jump, and then was knocked out when his set of Aces lost to runner-runner broadway of Dan Smith, ironically the very player he was stalling against) 35 Peter Placey 34 Luis Asuncao 33 Robert Park 32 Garrett Greer - shame. His getting to the final table would have been an amazing story that ESPN would have really gone to town on 31 Chris Johnson 29 Do ng Guo & 30 Robert Campbell - knocked out in he same hand by William Pappaconstantinou 28 Matthew Haugen (who had been down to a chip and a chair at one point earlier in the day)
So we're down to 3 tables, with 2 GB players and they have both drawn the same table.
1 Yorane Kerignard (FRA) 2.885m 2 Anroni Larrabe (ESP) 15.280m 3 Leif Force (USA) 4.035m 4 Christopher Greaves (USA) 3.935m 5 Oscar Kemps (NED) 3.910m 6 CRAIG MCCORKELL 8.765m 7 Thomas Sarra Jr (USA) 6.510m 8 Dan Sindelar (USA) 16.345m 9 IARON LIGHTBOURNE 3.875m
Ultra-consistent Swede Martin Jacobsen is chip leader (23m) with previous double bracelet winner Luis Velador next with 16m. Three other bracelet winners are left, McCorkell, Shaun Dempsey & Leif Force (who's also gone close to final tabling the Main Event), while Mark Newhouse's bid for back-to-back November Nines is still alive, sitting somewhere in the middle of the pack.
One more day, and the WSOP goes on hold for months, and I'll have a lot more time to myself!
Well for 4 months anyway. Play is underway in the last push to the November Nine, can we get a Brit to the final table? Can we be greedy and ask for two?
All will be revealed over the next few hours as Craig McCorkell & Iaron Lightbourne quest with 25 others to make the November Nine.
In fact it's already 24 others as we've lost
27 Sean Dempsey
The current payout level is over $286K, more than the winners of a number of bracelet winners collected.
Updates will follow until about midnight, so fingers crossed....
Because they halted play in the middle of a level when they reached 27 players at the end of Day 6, the first break has come after only 45 minutes of poker. In that 45 minutes, we have lost 2 players, so next on the list of eliminations is:
26 Brian Roberts
Martin Jacobsen remains chip leader, with over 20 million chips. However, remember what happened last year while Anton Morgenstern was chip leader early on Day 7 but got nowhere near the final table.
The table draws have changed from what was originally posted, so McCorkell and Lightbourne are now on different tables. McCorkell is on the feature table and has chipped up by about a million so far, Lightbourne is on Table 3 and he's also headed in the right direction so far, up about 700K.
The big story though would still be Mark Newhouse if he can make his second straight November Nine, and he's another player that has added to his stack already on Day 7.
Another hour or so of poker, and we have had 3 more eliminations
25 Bryan Devonshire - couldn't quite match is 12th place from 2011 24 Kyle Keranan - beats his previous best of 38th from 2012 23 Yorane Kerignard - first WSOP ME cash, $286K is his 2nd biggest win (won $341K coming 4th in EPT Deauville in January 2012.
Not a good hour for the two Brits - McCorkell down to 6m and Lightbourne was down to fumes after he shoved from the SB on Kerignard with 42off and got called with AK which held.
In fact, in stop press news
22 Iaron Lightbourne. Shoved his last 1.3m with QQ into new chip leader Dan Sindelar who snap-called with AQ and an ace came down on the flop.
With 18 players left we've had the draw for the final two tables, the last re-draw before the final table becomes set. Craig McCorkell sails on, not with a secure stack but with 31BB he's not at panic stations yet. Dan Sindelar has the chip lead, ahead of Bruno Politano & Martin Jacobsen, with McCorkell in 14th spot at this point. Of the 18 players, 9 are American, while 2 are from the Netherlands, and one each from Russia, UK, Spain, Brazil, Norway Austria & Sweden. It's a very long shot, but we could have an all-American final table, or a final table that has no Americans on it at all. How low would ESPN's ratings in the States be for that?
Mark Newhouse is lying 8th, one place behind the man who is doubtless driving the ESPN on-screen graphics guys crazy, William Pappaconstantinou.
For the record 21 Leif Force (11th 2006 Main Event, won a bracelet in 2012) 20 Dan Smith (winner of $2million in a tournament a fortnight ago) 19 Scott Palmer (big on-line guy)
I'll pick this up in the morning, hope Craig is still there when I wake up!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, we won't have a Brit at the final table again this year. Craig McCorkell was bust in the unlucky (but still superb) thirteenth place when he shoved from the button for his final 4m and was called by Mark Newhouse. Craig had K5 suited, Newhouse had A9 and when the board double paired, Newhouse's Ace played as a kicker. McCorkell picked up $441K for his week's work.
18 Scott Mahin 17 Andrey Zaichenko 16 Eddy Sabat 15 Thomas Serra. Jr 14 Oscar Kemps 13 CRAIG McCORKELL 12 Christopher Greaves 11 Maxiillian Senft
Then after combining for an unofficial FT, 10 Luis Vellador
That leaves us with an official final table, and Newhouse is therfore on consecutive November Nines. That must be one of the biggest achievements in modern live poker.

He'll be 2/7 with skybet to final next year with form like that. Incredible, hope he wins!
