Event #4: The Reunion No-Limit Hold'em ($500 entry)
This must have been fast & furious on Day 2, as it began with 683 players & just 5 players survived the day

1,820 players cashed but as far as I can see, not a single Brit cashed.
There were some serious stacks in play;

No Brits cashed but one interesting cashee was none other than Norman Chad, well known as the ESPN WSOP commentator for as many years as I can remember. He finished 21st for $3,593. It was his 5th WSOP cash in the last 8 years.
Event #8: No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack ($1,500 entry)
153 remain in this, so we'll pick this up at the sharp end tomorrow.
I did notice this chap (below) played it - he's Harry Lodge, and if there are any Sky Poker Viva Las Vegas players reading this you may well remember him from around 8 or 10 years ago. He never won a Viva Las Vegas package, but came as a Guest of one of our qualifiers, may have been Sparse. He played the Main dressed all in bright pink & made quite a splash. Anyway, he had no track record at the time but went on to become a very good player indeed with scores of cashes including numerous 6 figure cashes. He also won the Sky Poker UKPC Six-Max at DTD in 2015.
Event #9: Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship ($10,000 entry)
Still 72 left in this so again, we'll pick it up tomorrow.
I spotted Eric Sagstrom amongst the survivors. Anyone remember him? used to be "The Salmon" when the Scandis ruled the roost.
Thus looks a belter actually, plenty of faces still in the hunt, & I've highlighted a few of them.
PS - it's Limit, of course.

Here's John Racener
That brings us, roughly speaking, up to date, so now a few random photos & Tweets.
If this guy has bad luck it's entirely his own fault.
Here's a really interesting & amusing little interview with Shaun Deeb explaining how he did a few slowrolls.
The fella interviewing him said "I respect this guy a ****-ton". Gotta love that.
Today's specials from All American Dave;
And finally.....
Big thanks to @MattBates for spotting this.
It's a clip from a previous WSOP Main but it's absolutely gorgeous in every way, including the commentary by Norman Chad, who I highlighted earlier.
I really hope you watch this, it's just superb.
Are you calling on the river?
Great update (as always TBH), I marvel at the speed in which you collate all the news, adding the Tikay slant, and then anglicisizing it; what a great skill.
Keep them coming.
Ha, thanks Dave. Look forward to seeing you & Sue in Manchester.
I mentioned Harry Lodge earlier, here's his Hendon Mob, showing some $1,300,000 in earnings on the poker circuit. Bit misleading, as unlike Sharkscope (online only) Hendon Mob ("Live" only) does not take account of losses - i.e., when a player fails to cash in a Tourney, which of course is most of the time. It's indicative only, but a useful rule of thumb, & we can see Harry has been a busy boy.

He's a lovely lad, apart from constantly taking most of my chips on Day 2 with his Huge Stack....... mind you, he had fired at least 3 bullets at it, and told me he had to finish 20th or better to make a profit
Isn't that trophy a bit of a premonition....... looks like a COVID map of the UK
Dinner is served.
