#58 has just finished. It was delayed overnight with just the two players left, but concluded suddenly when Mario Prats made a horrific unforced error to donate almost his whole stack. With roughly 7m v 6.5m chips at the start of the hand, and 3.5m in the pot, he shoved the River for 5m with no hand into Rudziankov's nut straight, leaving himself with dust and no chance of recovery.

These two did not like each other, with some terse exchanges and Rudziankov insisting on seeing Prats' losing hand at one point and then throwing a bluff in front of him soon after. Rudziankov was involved in an incident earlier in the week at Planet Hollywood when Mike Dentale threatened to punch another pro in the face, so maybe he was taking some pointers there.

The main news from this event is that it seems that Chris Ferguson may have taken the lead in the Player of the Year points, which was unwelcome news for many at the Rio. It was later reported that he is second behind John Racener, another unlovely character, but the position is fairly unclear, which is just another illustration of how farcical this year's POY race has become.

Congratulations to Alfred Schmuck for his 30th place finish. Also to Chong Cheng, who was 116th.

Oh dear - in a three way all-in, with five players left, Lakemeier had QQ55 against AAKK and AA88, but caught a Q at the end to eliminate both of the others. He then quickly saw off the remaining two to take the bracelet.

It looked like there were going to be buckets of points for everyone, but then all your favourites slipped out of contention before the final table and there were hardly any points at all.

The first ever WSOP Online High Roller.

Players who are chasing points (or just fancied the game) were doubling up, playing on-line at their live tables, with several of our players cashing, led by Adam Owen.
