WSOP62 - $1500 Bounty NLH, 2178 entries, Day 4 of 3 As mentioned earlier, this was taken down by Jack Duong
WSOP64 - $1000 Online NLH, 905 entrants, Day 2 of 2 Probably the most experienced of the 6 finalists, Anthony Spinella cleared out the FT in pretty quick time to win his first bracelet
WSOP65 - $1500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or better, 547 entrants, Day 3 of 3 Don't suppose the WSOP mind this one going to a 4th day as there is going to be very little else for them to stream early on Sunday. Three are left and the good news is that Gerald Ringe is still standing.
Californian Chris Webb is chip leader (1.9m), Ringe has 1.6m and the short stack is Canadian Daniel Idema with about half a million.
WSOP66 - $777 Lucky Sevens NLH, 4422 entries, Day 2 of 4 61 move forward to Day 3, and there are 3 British players amongst them. Andrew Teng is just better than midfield, but Peter Avery & Akshay Reddy are in the bottom third. Rocco Palumbo from Italy is the boss at the moment, with Americans filling the next ten places (Robert Toye & Bao Nguyen lie second and third)
There was a hand very late on that made everyone chuckle and cheer, a player was all in and called, and when the hands were turned over, both players had a pair of sevens. No four-card flush came and the pot was chopped up. Lucky Sevens indeed.
Well done to the Sky players who cashed and their exploits are detailed above.
WSOP67 - $10K Dealers Choice, 108 entrants, Day 2 of 3 Play had to be extended for a little while on Day 2 as they didn't want to end "on the bubble". and 20 minutes later Alexander Denisov departed. He had been the chip leader for long portions of the day but his stack faded away and lost his last few chips paying Omaha Hi-Low.
Enough about him, how about Stuart Rutter. The mixed game specialist has done it again, making his 7th cash of the Series and is guaranteed to pick up at least $21K and should push him into the top 1000 all time tournament winners.
Rep Porter is the chip leader, earlier bracelet winner Jeff Madsen is second and Finn Jussi Nevanlinna is third.
To Start Today Just a little tournament known as the "Main Event". Good luck to any Sky Qualifiers playing this, the first of 3 day 1s.
I'm back at my hotel which means one thing. I'm busto. I finished 110th out of 4422, which I would have most definitely took before the start. Worth $2750. I did get up to a fair amount playing on that tough table including Faraz Jaka and Josh Pollak, I was finally all in and called in the last level, three times in fact. I won two of them (QQ v 33 and AA v 77) but obviously lost my final one with queens again against kings. Basically the bloke had been raising every hand, proper stereotypical young fearless aggressor so I 3 bet with queens on the button. I was expecting a 4 bet as my raise looks suspicious, especially on the button, and after putting in a mid size 4 bet I had convinced myself he was just trying to get me off something so I shoved and saw the bad news, kings. I think even in hindsight, with the opponent in mind, I play the hand exactly same way as he is definitely capable of doing that with any two. There are some really good players in the tournament but I was surprised at some of the things I saw. One of my double ups came from someone open shoving with 30bbs with 33?? Hey ho, all done now. I highly recommend anyone to come out and experience the WSOP it is pretty exciting and challenging. The only thing is the tiredness created and endurance needed, played like 16 hours of the last 24 and I am shattered. Lay in tomorrow, going out to red rock canyon and then flight home early Monday morning and back for the £33BH on Monday night�� Thanks for support and hope my little updates were of some interest.

No, not the controversial cyclist, or a floating barrier used to control an oil slick, or even the first word of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's last Top 40 hit.
It's the sound of a 4th British bracelet this year, asGerald Ringe has won Event 65, the Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo.
He needed just about half an hour of Day 4 play to knock out first Daniel Idema then Chris Vitch.
Well done that man.
Not so good news from the Dealer's Choice, it's down to 8 but that 8 does not include Birmingham's finest Stu Rutter as he was first man out today in 12th place.
VWP Grintler you should be really chuffed with that result in your 1st WSOP experience, thanks for the updates, rest up but try not to sleep through the rest of your trip lol
Stu Rutters 12th place was good for almost 22k so he more than doubled his money and cashed for the umpteenth time this series.... and I like it!
WSOP65 - $1500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or better, 547 entrants, Day 4 of 3 As already mentioned, this was a glorious 4th UK bracelet, Gerald Ringe knocking out both of his final table mates inside 45 minutes to claim his first WSOP title and $180K
WSOP66 - $777 Lucky Sevens NLH, 4422 entries, Day 3 of 4 Two levels left to play tonight, with 10 still standing. Those left at the end of those 2 hours will come back tomorrow for a FT. Play is very cautious 10 handed and not much has happened in the last hour or so.
We had 3 Brits come back for Day 3, we lost Peter Akery in 48th for $8048, and after a nice payjump the very next player out was Akshay Reddy but his slip showed a payout of over $9800. Finally, Andrew Teng went out not long after, also during the $9800 payout level.
David Yu is the chip leader, others still include Matt Matros & Faraz Jaka.
Edit: they decided on an early night and did not play the 2 levels suggested above, so the 10 players will all come back for Day 4.
WSOP67 - $10K Dealers Choice, 108 entrants, Day 2 of 3 Quinn Do is the Dealers Choice Champion after the 39-year old Vietnamese born player overcame a stacked final table to collect his 2nd bracelet.
Rep Porter (2 bracelets) was 2nd and Jeff Madsen (4 bracelets) was 3rd.The players in 5th, 7th & 8th were also former bracelet winners.
UK Interest ended early on day 3 as Stuart Rutter was the first player busted. It is his 7th cash of a very impressive summer
WSOP68 - $10K NLH Main Event, Day 1A Looks like a small reduction (of 30) on last years Day 1A field with 741 entries acccording to the WSOP site.
Play concluded after the standard (for the Main) 5 2-hr levels and at the end of the day there are about 470 players ready to come back on Wednesday for Day 2AB
The biggest chip stack was held by Floridian William Kakon followed by the virtually impossible to spell without cutting & pasting Gjergj Sinishaj and the far easier Alex Tran. Only one former ME winner played today, Jonathan Duhamel but he made it through with a nice stack, plenty of other November Niners in evidence though including two from last year, Jorryt van Hoof and Andoni Larrabe who were on virtually neighboruing tables at one point, and Kevin Schaffel who was chip leader as the first person to break 100K at one point.

Reigning WSOP ME Champion Martin Jacobson was unwell and unable to do the traditional "Shuffle Up and Deal" that the reigning champion traditionally performs at the start of Day 1A, so they asked Irish legend Donnacha O'Dea to do the honours. Donnacha twice made the ME FT, and his son Eoghan was a 2011 November Niner. What is less known about Donnacha is that he also represented Ireland in swimming at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Anyway he also played 1A and has made it through, albeit with one of the shortest stacks.
Barny Boatman was a very early chip leader after making the very first elimination of the ME but he later disappeared, and other GB names defintely out are John Gale & Patrick Leonard.
I wonder if Tikay was at the Rio today in time to see his new man crush George Danzer do the honours today and wish the field good luck and ask the dealers to "shuffle up and deal"?

I most certainly was, think he is a top, top, bloke.
He said this (copied from WSOP.com), though George being a bright bloke would have known that no exclamation mark was needed, but WSOP thought otherwise. Shame on the WSOP.
"Keep your calm. Respect the players. Respect the dealers and staff because we are going to make a lot of mistakes. Have fun, and shuffle up and deal!"

I only just got there, we were filming the Daily Update, outside, & we ran a bit behind as someone (no names, but he is in all the daily updates) decided to WALK to The Rio from Caesars Palace.
It was not me, either - I put my back out yesterday, so I can barely walk a yard, never mind a mile in blistering heat.
Three more of last years November 9, Dan Sindelar, Bruno Politano & Billy Pappas, former runners-up Jay Farber & Martin Stasko and former 3rd place finisher (to Johnny Chan & Phil Hellmuth no less) Don Zewin. Winners too are playing, the aforementioned Johnny Chan, Carlos Mortensen, Chris Moneymaker, Dan Harrington & Greg Raymer
Double 2015 bracelet winner Bryan Hastings is playing today too, as are Erick Lindgren, Eugene Katchalov, Dutch Boyd, Dominik Nitsche, George Danzer, winner of the online bracelet Anthony Spinella, Shaun Deeb, Annette Obrestad, Johnny Lodden, Ted Forrest & Jason Mercier together with Aussie cricketing legend Shane Warne.
British players playing today are of course headed by Daren, but Neil Channing has taken a small hit early, and listed with more or less the starting stack are Matthew Ashton, Stephen Chidwick, Adam Owen, Jake Cody, Chris Sly, David Vamplew, Steven Watts & Chris Moorman

Not so good news from the Dealer's Choice, it's down to 8 but that 8 does not include Birmingham's finest Stu Rutter as he was first man out today in 12th place.
I was walking the Tables in Brasilia, & happened across Redmond Lee opening to 400.
He bet, & was called, every street on this board, including a hefty river bet which was called very quickly.
6-7-8-K-6
Redmond tabled 4-5, Villain mucked his hand in obvious disgust.
Stu Rutters 12th place was good for almost 22k so he more than doubled his money and cashed for the umpteenth time this series.... and I like it!
