2016 WSOP Fantasy Game & Staker

No results overnight, but several events are getting close to the end.

Bonomo is heads-up in #8 - lots of points coming for Suzanne, Luca and Glenn.

There are 24 left in #10 and Holz is currently lying 12th, so can still do it.

#11 is a $10k Championship, so a smaller field of 118. This one is Dealers Choice. They are paying 18 and Hellmuth just missed out, finishing 20th, with Gorodinsky a few places back. There are 17 still going and we still have Smith in 3rd, Owen in 12th and Hastings near the bottom in 16th.

82 left from over 2,000 in #12 PLO. ODB is in 3rd, but we ain"t got no-one else left. Kelly, Parker, Mizrachi and Clements cashed. I also notice there were double-Boatman cashes in this. My girl Loni cashed again ( why did I drop her?). 2016 bracelet-winners Ryan D"Angelo and Robert Mizrachi both cashed; Mizrachi is still in, quite highly placed, as is Chris Ferguson. Isn"t it funny how the same names crop up?

Miles to go in #13 Razz, with over 100 left. The top half of the field seems to mainly be made from our players, so there will be untold amounts of points coming from this one.

Another tough event, with a pro-filled final table. There were six former bracelet-winners in the final, including Andre Akkari, Svetlana Gromenkova and Scotty Nguyen.

It looks to me that Scotty was actually wearing one of his four WSOP bracelets on each wrist.




Ian Johns came back from the brink three times to win his second bracelet ten years after his first. This was his stack at the end of Day 1 and at the end of Day 2:

The tournament has reached the final table of six, which includes Pierre Neuville from last year"s November Nine. None of our players got that far, Fedor Holz dropping in 18th place.

There are some excellent names on the final, Javier Garcirreynaldos (from Spain), for one. There has been substantial emigration from Ireland to Spain at various times in the last 500 years. Surely there was a time during that period when Mr Reynolds and Senorita Garcia got together and ended up constructing this monstrosity of a name. Also in the final six are Tim Cha and my new favourite, Lutz Klinkhammer. Honestly, does the WSOP hold a names committee before each Series to come up with the oddest names it can get away with?

Vinny Pahuja made his fourth cash from the ten tournaments so far this year in this event. Not too bad. In fact, he wouldn"t have played them all - remember he made the final table of #4. Dan Kelly and Michael Mizrachi both made their second cash. They have both gone on to cash for a third time in #12 PLO, but we"ll come to that in due course.

David Vamplew, David Benefield and Shawn Quint (Yes!) also racked up their third cash of this year in #10.

Woohoo good old Justin got me off the starting block :)

Must admit I am getting quite frustrated in the Stakers game. I have done a bit of homework and picked a "team" and worked out who is there and games they are likely to play but the guys I picked keep doing well in other games :(

Is there any way of finding out who might be playing UKIPT Marbella? I would assume a lot of the regulars will be in Vegas.

This doesn"t yet include #2 Colossus, but we didn"t have anyone reach the final table, so it won"t make much difference.
