WSOP 2015 Fantasy poker rules.. Pick your team

[MintTrav]

So that"s that then. Steve wins the APAT WSOP Fantasy League.

Roll on next year.

Yea!

Unlucky Carl

Unlucky Guys

The tournament organiser"s decision is final!

[MintTrav]

When the dust settles, there will probably be one point each for McCorkell, Deadman, Mortensen and Mizrachi in #61 and one for Boeree in #62, so no real effect at the top. Unbelievably, Suzanne has both Mortensen and Mizrachi.

The event to watch, though, is #63, which just about everyone you have heard of has entered, if they weren"t detained in one of the preceding tournaments. A lot of our guys are still in there and it is possible that we could have multiple final-tablists, as we currently have three in the top ten, including chip-leader Frank Kassela, plus plenty of others through the field. This one is likely to have a major influence on the outcome of the league.

I think that may be Negreanu"s last WSOP tournament for this year so, if you have him in your team, he won"t be adding to his pitiful points total for the series.

Admit it, you are starting to get worried aren"t you

Has anyone noticed a player going by the name of Prince of Docness? A quick google search brings up this article where someone has quoted "he has even been called one of the best Omaha hi-lo players on this planet"

What I find very interesting is his remarkable resemblance to Doc Emmett Brown....hmmm.

I fear this event may kill me as I have no players left while others have more than one left.

It didn"t seem like it last night, but you are going to get out of this one without too much damage, our team having engineered a middle-order collapse that the England cricket team would have been proud of. Clements, Chidwick, Ashton, Ausmus, Chiu, Rutter and Negreanu fell close to the money (okay, the last few weren"t that close). From a mass of entrants, we only have three remaining, with Kassela lying 2nd, Parker 10th and Glantz 20/20. If it stays like that, it won"t be too bad for you.

This is chip-leader Andrew Barber"s sixth cash this year. Have any of you got him in your team? No, you haven"t. Everyone transfixed with Negreanu and Selbst as usual.

It"s interesting that a few of the old names are still in this - Elezra, Greenstein, Scotty, Hachem, Shack-Harris... once again HORSE demonstrates where the class is.

Having both been around 11th or 12th throughout the whole tournament, Deadman and McCorkell both lose their way at the crucial time.

Suzanne shows that she knows how to pick them.

After holding out for a long time, my girls make it a happy ending to the series for me.

#63 is still running. Down to six, Kassela is still there for Richard. Parker and Glantz both fell short of the final table.

#64, the online event, is also down to six, though your guess is as good as mine as to who they are. Rumour has it that three of the final-tablists are actually Brian Hastings.

#65 - Linde will be the only scorer, but is currently well down the field, so that will be one point for Carl, unless he does something dramatic soon.

What a tough event. The top three at the end were all players most of us hadn"t heard of, but they sure know their stuff:

1st was Andrew Barber who, as mentioned above, now has six cashes this year.

2nd was Viacheslav Zhukov of the Soviet Secret Police, for his fourth cash of this year"s series. He has now finished 2nd, 4th, 10th and 14th, all in mixed games.

3rd was Don Zewin. Never heard of him? He finished third in the Main Event the year Hellmuth won it against Chan. No bracelets, but 24 cashes over the years, including a heads-up loss in Razz in 2012.

Also on the final table were Main Event winners Joe Hachem and Scott Nguyen, who both know a thing or two about mixed games.

Every pro in Vegas took part in this. Gotta give Barber his dues for coming out top from that field.
