Some good news from the WSOP, where Andy @SidV79 managed to min-cash in a $250 Deepstack, 71st of 542. IrishRose did well too, finishing 22nd. I believe @FeelGroggy was in the same Comp as well, though he missed out this time.
More news as & when I get it.

"Played my 1st ever WSOP event & managed to (min) cash. It was a $250 Deepy (side event) but nonetheless made it pay. Already regged for the $1k Seniors on Weds and should be going to Golden Nugget later for a $300 ($250k gtd- 2 day event) BH"
Hi All,
I look forward to reading that thread once I get back.
I also cashed in the $500 Freezeout (my first bracelet event) but things have not gone as well since. That being said I have come close but no cigar yet. Fired two bullets at The Colossus, crashing out just before the end of late reg on both days. I could have re-bought but once I would have managed to be seated I would only have effectively had a measly 4 BBs (2k, 4k, 4k BB ante) from my 40k starting stack so chose against making the rebuy. The Seniors was going well until I had to move from Bally's to Paris where it all went Pete Tong as I was out before the next break. On the whole though I have thoroughly enjoyed the trip and can recommend to every poker player that they should try to make it to Las Vegas at least once in their life.
Anyway, I shall be back on Thursday night so back to normality again.
Andy
There's also some news on Groggy;
Good news to come from The Colossus is that Groggy finished 116th for $3200 (over 14k entries), so kudos to Danny for making such a deep run
Natterley Bromley (@Bromley023) arrived in Vegas last night & is die to play the Tag Team event today I believe.
How old do you have to be for the Seniors?
More news from Team Bromley...
He's just exited WSOP Event 58, the $1,500 PLO8, in 41st place from 1,303 runners, collecting a useful $6,115, though he did use a second bullet, so was in for $3,000.
For those familiar with the nuances of PLO8, his exit was typically brutal.
He jammed over an Open & caller with A-K-4-x with a nut suit, & both players called, both seemingly reluctantly.
They had....
A-2-3-4
A-2-3-5
Almost predictably, with so many low cards in play, the Low never came but a pesky 3 flopped & that was enough to bust Dooobs. Ouch. Standard enough I suppose, but painful all the same, especially with just 41 players left.
Ranges run SO close in O8.
24 hours earlier he cashed at The Venetian too, so a solid trip.
You need to be aged 50 years and older for the Seniors and 60 years and older for the Super Seniors, I qualify for both (but only just lol)
Andy
If you're Lucky enough to be out there ......... it really doesn't matter
Just really enjoy it Mark mate
......... wish I was there
thank you in advance.
Morning Dour Bloke.
Fingers crossed, yes. I've not been able to access the Forum since Friday as my VPN would not fire up, so could not access Sky Poker due to Geo Blocking. After 837 attempts I've managed to get on this morning (it's 0820 Monday here) so God willing, if the VPN does not play up again, yeah, updates & photos on Wednesday.
I assume the boys arrived yesterday, & will meet them tonight at the Welcome Drinks evening, & hopefully get a few snaps.
It all depends on being able to fire the VPN up, but if I can, I will.
Good luck in the mixed O8 @Tikay10 .
