MintTrav:

If you run into Chris Ferguson at the Rio, please don't be unkind.

Chris Ferguson  @ChrisFerg1963
I have had people approaching me at the Rio and saying unkind things. I have apologized and remember, I'm just a player, just like everyone here.  I am sorry that Black Friday was not prevented by me, and I would have done so if the circumstances were right.


Meanwhile, Chris' Main Event Champion banner is looking a bit different. Something seems to be missing, but I can't put my finger on it.

Day 2 has completed in the Millionaire Maker, with the field reduced from 7,361 starters to just 155 - and several big names are still involved. Europe's Number 1 female player, Aylar Lie, is sitting pretty in 25th place. Stanley Lee, currently fifth, has finished 24th, 9th and 39th in this tournament for the last three years and was 3rd in the Monster Stack last year for just over $500k. The official updates have this down as his fourth deep WSOP run, but they have missed one as it's actually his fifth.

Other names I recognised on a scan down the list:

3 Manig Loeser
33 Joe McKeehen
37 Steve Sung
40 Joseph Cheong
55 JC Tran
56 Barny Boatman
58 David Eldridge
60 Samad Razavi
68 Elio Fox
79 Jason Wheeler
87 Greg Merson
96 Thomas Taylor
106 Mark Radoja
147 James Dempsey

MintTrav:
Which convicted criminal, who had over $6m of illegal earnings seized, as well as doing prison time, has cashed in this year's WSOP, just missing the final table by a few places?

All warming up nicely.. although Luca has a lead it can all change in a flash, Brian Rast winning the 2-7 low ball has scored max 25points for three of our players more importantly Craig who was err 25points behind.
27 events have been running of 78 and we are well on course for the highest individual score to beat Barrie's last year score of 332 albeit more events this year.

Only 95 runners, but every one was a heavyweight. Not many people enter a $10k 2-7 tournament unless they know what they are doing. By the time they reached the cash, 10 of the 15 players were bracelet-winners and everyone had a long list of WSOP cashes, with one exception - more of that later. This was Doyle Brunson's final appearance in the Series, and he reached the final table, finishing 6th.

Brian Rast won his fourth bracelet, lifting Craig up the points table, being the only person to also pick John Hennigan.



Billy Baxter and Phil Hellmuth pay their respects.
Todd Brunson and Doyle Brunson both reached the top ten.



Rast caused some comment with his method of showing his appreciation to the massage girls.
