Got the life slowrolled out of me. If you're looking for me, I'm trashing my hotel room.

Fantastic stats John as always..
Looks like people have really done their homework.
I see the trend of loading teams with HR players.. could be down to players who score high in the lower buy ins that make all the difference this year.

fandango:
So this year we have 40 players generating a £550 prizepool and we will be paying out top four.

Four places..
£220 for first with APAT seat and gold medal
£165 for runner up and silver medal
£110 for third and bronze medal
£55 for fourth and a pat on the back

Last place finisher get the wooden spoon of rubdown designed by yours truly

Also closest guess without going over of final winning team score gets the small poker bundle prize.

Thanks all that have entered and good luck may all your players run like Bonomo 🍀🍀

243 entries for a $10k! I think a one-day turbo bounty with an average of 25 BBs HU is exactly what the WSOP doesn't need, but it's hard to argue with how popular this experiment was. I guess players saw it as a chance to notch a result or move on without wasting too much time either way. The number of entrants will encourage them to do more of this, but flip-for-your-life lotteries ain't the way to dish out prestigious WSOP bracelets in my view.

Former WSOPE Champion Elio Fox won it against a loaded final table, which included Main Event winner Joe Cada. Volpe and Foxen scored points for their supporters. Volpe had the lead for much of the final table, but had to settle for bronze.

Taylor Paur, who finished 10th in this event last year (and 22nd in another shootout), won his first table, as did all our players listed above. Two of them, both Main Event winners, also won their second table to reach the final.

The final table was dominated by Joe McKeehen, who played a terrifically aggressive game from beginning to end, and led for almost all of it. With three players left, he held 2.5m chips against Joe Cada's 1.4m and Sam Phillips' 1.5m. There then followed some odd hands (and questionable play). First, with BB at 60k, Cada and Phillips got all-in pre-flop, holding 55 and AJ, respectively. Cada won the flip and Phillips was left with 100k. He quickly trebled up and then doubled up again to 700k. A few hands later, McKeehen four-bet all-in with 66 against Cada's KK and suddenly he was gone, having led for most of the day. Phillips fought back to even stacks and then, with BB at 80k, Cada raised to 180k, Phillips shoved for 2.75m and Cada called for 2.6m, holding 66. Phillips had A4, the 66 held and the tournament finished the next hand. Cada said afterwards that he knew it was a call. I'm not so sure.

Points for Tom F, Jon, Derek and Nic, who all have McKeehen. No-one picked him last year, and he won another bracelet, so it's not surprising that a few people have chosen him this time. What is surprising is that Cada wasn't selected at all, apart from a late addition as a substitute by Debbie. I predict that he gets a few picks next year.
