If you've heard players talking about game theory and suchlike, and don't know what they're going on about, the winner has a message for you: “I think a lot of that advancement of strategy stuff can sometimes be taken too far and can sometimes seem intimidating to a recreational player. But there's always trends and strategies and there are always people talking like they are super smart. Don't be intimidated by something like that.”

Our cashers all won their first-round shoot-out, but went out in the second round. Hellmuth has a higher finishing position due to finishing third on his second-round table. He had the lead three-way, but was unlucky to lose for stacks twice with AQ both times.

Another tournament that had a multitude of possible big impacts on our competition - all of which came to nothing as our players wilted under the pressure and, in an incredible sequence, all crashed out just before the final table.
It is amazing that no-one has selected Ryan Hughes, who was runner-up in this. The first player ever to win two Stud 8 bracelets cashed sixteen times last year, including two 5th places, two 7ths and a 10th, one of the 7ths coming in this event. This is only his third cash so far this time round (he was 7th in #35), but there will be more. Here's a tip - pick Ryan Hughes next year.

Nye makes an assault on the leadership table.
All the high limit games are played in LA or Vegas and, unsurprisingly, the final four were all from SoCal/Vegas/Arizona.
