We'll start with the updates & results, then do a few fun (?) Tweets.
These threads are really not getting enough views to make it worthwhile, they take ages to do, but I'll persevere a little longer.
If you have any suggestions to make them more popular, I'm all ears.
Thank you.

Event #13: Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em ($3,000 entry)
When play resumed for the final day, just 7 remained, & Harvey Matthews was the short stack, but he ran well & ended up winning the thing, & some $372,000.1 Harvey Mathews United States $371,914
2 Gabriel Andrade United States $229,848
3 Michael Gathy Belgium $164,083
4 Girish Apte United States $118,815

85th Sam Grafton $5,294
95th Adrian State $4,940
Event #14: Seven Card Stud ($1,500 entry)
Shaun Deeb began the day 2nd in chips & I had high hopes for the acerbic Deebster, but it never went well & he finished 5th.
1 Rafael Lebron Puyallup,WA $82,262
2 David Williams Las Vegas,NV $50,842
3 David Moskowitz Sunset Beach,CA $35,521

8 Hal Rotholz New York,NY $8,179
9 Steven Albini Chicago,IL $6,528
39 were paid, but there was not a brit to be seen. Sounds bad, but the truth is it is almost impossible for Brits to travel to the States at present. A few have made it, either via Mexico or Canada, & in some cases because they live there. Without the Brits & Europeans, the Series is seriously devalued imo.
Event #15: 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em ($1,500 entry)
1,450 entries, of whom just 8 remain;
1 Jeremy Malod Miffery, , FR 7,570,000 Amazon / 1 / 4
2 Bradley Jansen HEMPSTEAD, NY, US 6,075,000 Amazon / 2 / 3
3 Jesse Yaginuma SILVER SPRING, MD, US 5,415,000 Amazon / 1 / 6
4 Ryan Andrada Helotes, TX, US 4,495,000 Amazon / 1 / 2
5 Ryan Pedigo San Jose, CA, US 4,270,000 Amazon / 1 / 3
6 Sean Hegarty West Barnstable, MA, US 3,450,000 Amazon / 2 / 5
7 Mark Liedtke Manassas, VA, US 2,950,000 Amazon / 2 / 6
8 Jon Baylor Kirkland, WA, US 2,130,000 Amazon / 2 / 1
In all, 218 cashed, & that included 3 Brits.
10th Steven Morris (Birmingham) $22,044
49th Ariel Shefar (London) $5,282
65th Sergi Reixach (Bournemouth) $4,075
Steven Morris? Had a bunch of decent results, including a Super High Roller at DTD Nottingham;
Event #16: Limit Hold'em Championship ($10,000 entry)
10 left in this, all from the US of A.
A bunch of interesting names remain, including WSOP Main Event runner-up John Racener, currently the chippie.
Jason Somerville, he of Run It Up, sits 3rd with Nate Silver 6th. Nate Silver is a huge name in the USA, but not in poker - he's a political analyst & baseball statistician, a bit like that bloke in Moneyball.
1 John Racener Tampa, FL, US 1,090,000 Amazon / 1 / 10
2 Eric Kurtzman LAS VEGAS, NV, US 975,000 Amazon / 1 / 7
3 Jason Somerville STONY BROOK, NY, US 670,000 Amazon / 1 / 5
4 Scott Tuttle WAKARUSA, IN, US 650,000 Amazon / 1 / 1
5 Kevin Song Brea, CA, US 515,000 Amazon / 1 / 8
6 Nate Silver BROOKLYN, NY, US 440,000 Amazon / 1 / 4
7 Terrence Chan VANCOUVER, BC, CA 350,000 Amazon / 1 / 9

9 John Monnette PALMDALE, CA, US 270,000 Amazon / 1 / 2
10 Christopher Chung IRVINE, CA, US 250,000 Amazon / 1 / 6
Here's Nate Silver.
Event #17: MILLIONAIRE MAKER No-Limit Hold'em ($1,500 entry)
Way too early to bother with this, they are still on the opening flights, it has zillions of runners & lasts for at least 5 days.
Event #18: Mixed Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) ($2,500 entry)
253 entered, 104 remain. Some serious names in this one with Robert Mizrachi (pictured below) leading the way. As a statistical oddity, the top 3 stacks have all won at least 1 WSOP Bracelet previously.
1 Robert Mizrachi Miami, FL, US 201,000 Amazon / 420 / 1
2 Julien Martini Paris, , FR 180,000 Amazon / 413 / 6

This, of course, is not a Lowball hand, but it's a pretty fine 7 Card Stud holding.
They are playing $1,000 "Flip & Go's".
Players are dealt 3 hole cards, then a standard flop is dealt. Players then discard one card - & that's it, turn their hand over & see a turn & river.
These ones cost $1,000 a go.....
World's gone mad. They were running back to back for hours on end.
I do hope you continue with them, but understand the amount of work they take to do.
Thanks Alan, & yes, I agree, the lack of Brits does kill a lot of the interest I had hoped for.
I used to dream of playing a WSOP event
I can't think of anything worse than FLIP and go tournament. You can cash the tournament without any skill what so ever. They seem so bad for poker imo and they wonder why people value the prestige of wsop bracelet less and less each year.
