APATer John Miller also made his second cash in this.

But the big news is LPPL/APAT players Dave Burt and Liam Alcock, currently smashing events #21 and #23.

Dave 10/17. Liam 1/10.

Liam has reached the final table of Event #23.

He had to contend with Doug Polk on his left for a while. For those of you who don"t know Polk, he"s a $500/$1,000 NL Hold'em Heads-up cash game specialist who is buying into the One Drop for $1m!

Polk won"t have come across a player like Liam for a while....

Awesome job boys...bring it home!

The boys are in good spirits -

Dave Burt #21 comes back today down to final 16 - short stack but got a bit of play to give himself a chance - Dave is a solid, thoughtful and reserved player but who has been trying to identify spots from those he has observed throughout the day - he"s on a very solid table with some seriously experienced players.

Liam Alcock has gone from the heights of LPPL Invitational Team Captain for the recent LPPL Interleague Challenge to Final Table 9 #23 - Liam had Polk on his left up until they re-drew for Final Table and now got him on his immediate right - Liam is aggressive and not afraid to make plays - and I expect this to be one seriously entertaining Final Table with Liam involved in it.

Our best ever WSOP finish was in 2009 with Steve Bradbury finishing 7th and winning $75k http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=130494 - here"s hoping we can beat that... we"ll certainly be railing them all the way...
