2016 WSOP Fantasy Game & Staker

[fandango]

I"m just glad still to be in top 10 after One Drop, think I"m 4th overall. Could never envisage that the leaders would have 3 million quid

Yes just logged in.. Very suprised to be 6th myself!!

Stuart and Dann punting 100% was the way forward..

Hope Des has opened his piggy bank I need the £340+k to cover this weekends cocktail bill..

This is Bryan Devonshire, who has twice lost heads-up for a bracelet and was once expelled from Flamingos for "ruining the game" by "raising too much".  At blinds of 12k/24k and antes of 3k, Bryan had 1k. He was all-in on the next three hands in succession, which he didn"t have much choice about, having less than an ante for the first two and two antes (or half a small blind) on the third. Chopping all three got him to 10k, almost a small blind. Somehow, he decided to fold the next hand, giving up the 3k! He didn"t get any further and finished 10th.


Five days after winning the $10k PLO, Brandon Shack-Harris clawed his way to heads-up again, but was mauled by David Prociak.

Less said, the better. Fee and Polk entered to promote their coaching website.

Ryan Laplante made his 12th cash of the Series, making him the cashingest player ever in one Series, due to the new payout structure whereby 15% of the field get paid.

The Andrei Kanapelka / Andrei Konopelko team from Belarus, who finished 85th, caught my eye. This was Andrei"s first WSOP cash, but Andrei"s seventh, including 7th in the Main and 9th in a side at the 2013 WSOPE.

STAKER

YES, IT"S TRUE. The Stakers smashed it in the One Drop, winning over £9million!!!!, thanks to Fedor Holz.

Even without him, Stakers profited hugely by successfully identifying winning players. Between them, Niall Farrell, Dan Smith, Antonio Esfandiari, Scott Seiver, Adrian Mateos, Dario Sammartino and Sergio Aido added almost £1million to Stakers" bankrolls.

Full details in a bit.

Just the one selected player in the cash, mainly due to not many women being selected. Amanda Musumeci, in my team for the last two years, but not this time, finished fifth. The breakdown of entrants was 818 female; 1 male. Courtney Kennedy won with her first WSOP cash.

Yeah, I was away without a computer last week. I was able to record results on my pad, but wasn"t able to maintain the spreadsheet, so I"m planning to bring it up to date and post the current position tonight.

It"s the one you"ve all been waiting for!

Six of you had the winner in their team and two had the runner-up. Huge points for loads of people. This was probably the pointingest tournament ever.

Yet no sign of the previous leaders - Luca, Barrie, Carl. Has Steve overtaken them and pulled away? Have any of the next group - Tom F, Simon B, Paul or Neil - caught up? What about the rest of the chasing pack?

Find out tonight.

[I don"t actually know right now, so we"ll find out together.]
