    Plenty of familiar names. A Brit win would be good, but I don't mind as long as a scumbag like Maurice Hawkins doesn't get close.

    Blinds are 4k/8k at the start of day four, with the bubble imminent. I'd be exhausted playing 8+ days straight.

    Chiswick will take some shifting with that stack. As will the American, Chance Kornuth.

    Gary "GazzyB" Blackwood s the name I'll look out for. We both used to 8-table Zoom and he always seemed like one of the good guys.

    I will keep an eye out for him on the updates later then.

    Oh yes, anyone except Hawkins. Dreadful individual, & the epitome of an entitled poker player;

    The WSOP Main does weird things, but this is extraordinary;



    Amin Hosein was automatically all in from the big blind for 15,000 chips during hand-for-hand play. However, the entire table folded and he won back his own chips plus the small blind, enough to survive another orbit.

    Timothy Lin opened to 16,000 from under the gun and action folded to Harish Ananthapadmanabha in late position. He tanked for over a minute saying he was "in agony" as he held his head in his hands. Eventually Ananthapadmanabha released his hand, as did the remaining players, to send the pot to Lin, who showed 8-6 offsuit. Ananthapadmanabha, meanwhile, revealed he had folded aces preflop to a single raise in an effort to secure a minimum cash.

    Iaron Lightbourne might be the best player in the UK relative to how few people have heard of him. About five years ago I managed to get a bet on him at 200/1 to win the WSOP main and 25/1 to final table when there were around 600 left and he had a good stack. I knew I'd get good odds as he didn't really play tournaments in the UK and his Hendon Mob included just a few smallish cashes in UK provincial tournamnets...he was quite young and probably had never been to Vegas.

    At the time he was playing £25/£50/£100 cash and always sitting with £20,000 or so. He was maybe the best player in those games but as he didn't play online the guy that laid the bet couldn't find him on Sharkscope. I told him he was a small £1/£2 guy who I staked and I'd not taken a piece as I didn't realise he was playing so I just needed an emotional hedge. It was a big bet on both and he ended up losing a bunch of big hands and going in the 20s.

    Every player on one table was given this note.

    If you were at the table, what would your reaction be?

    You should have put the same bet on this year :#

    Will keep tabs on him then.

    Just watched the bubble coverage on you tube. Wasnt great in terms of production. It reminded me of Orford and Tikay in the early days.

    It looked like one of my picks (Jonathan McCann) had the aces in that hand verse kings.

    Moneymaker going well on the 20th anniversary of his win. Jason Somerville also going well. Both good people who have done a lot for the popularity of poker.

    The late nights/early mornings following this ME is getting to me....

    After reading your post I started singing 'Money Money Money' (By Abba) and 'Dont leave me this way' by the Communards ;)

    Anyone recognize this fella, raking in a pot? Very famous sportsman in the USA, not so much anywhere else.

    Rumour is, that somewhat elaborate Man Bag is worth $30,000 or so.
