2016 WSOP Fantasy Game & Staker

[fandango]

My last two runners in the mini one drop final event have fallen both min cashed.. Hastings and Pescatori, I don"t think any of the runners left in the ME will challenge Luca and his team.. Just waiting to hear confirmation from John that he indeed has won the 2106 APAT fantasy poker comp.
Will send prizes to those who finish in the top 3 as per stated in due course.

Staker Main Event £250 Prize.

Looks like theres now 4 players staked still in:

Tom Middleton 2 stakers for £2000 in total (presumably 14.35% each) currently 59th/80

James Obst 2 stakers for £8700 total (100% plus 25%?) 29th/80

Max Silver 2 stakers for £4000 (28.7% x 2) 39th/80

Paul Volpe 1 staker who has £1500 on (21.5%) 13th/80


I haven"t include anyone who has cashed already.

I know Carl has 28.7% of Silver. Whoever backed James Obst looks in pole position due to the %s taken.

80 players survived Day 5, with big names crashing all around.

Our last two survivors are Volpe and Colman. A few selectors have Volpe, but Luca is one of them, so that"s not going to help the chasers. Irish Tom and Simon Lawlor have Colman, but that won"t affect the outcome either. It could be a big finish by Tom, as he and Chris have Anderson, still plugging away in #69. If Colman and Anderson both win, Tom will make a massive surge up the leaderboard to just fall agonisingly close to not being last.

We also had Mike Gorodinsky until just before the end, but he made a dodgy call for all his chips and is out.


Gorodinsky - questionable judgement

The battle to be the final woman in the tournament came down to Weisner and Baumann. In the end, they were both eliminated quite close to each other, with Baumann lasting slightly longer. Baumann revealed afterwards that she had made a large bet when she was previously last woman in 2012, which required her not to eat until she repeated the achievement.


Gaelle - hasn"t eaten since 2012


Melanie - no eating problems

The great Don Zewin came third in the Main way back in the Hellmuth-Chan year and was heads-up when Hellmuth won bracelet 12. Zewin constantly looks worried, but he had good reason this time, being near the bottom of the chip-counts for at least two days, though he still managed to reach Day 5, finishing 135th.


Zewin - no need to worry now

The last two surviving former champs, Chan and Raymer, left the tournament, Raymer"s table-mates breathing a sigh of relief and budging up a space.


Raymer - a big personality

Antoine Saout, who finished third in 2009 (and 7th in the WSOPE the same year) still has a chance of making the Main final table for a second time, finishing the day in 15th position. I see that Andrei Konopelko of the famous Konopelko-Konopelko tag team, is riding high in 12th place. I think I"m going to hitch my wagon to him for the remainder.

Unfortunately, the wonderfully-named Noeung Troeung won"t be on the final table, being eliminated in 147th place, but we do have Philip Postman in 41st.

Any news on your big tip Mukul Pahuja John?

[MintTrav]

Any news on your big tip Mukul Pahuja John?

Yeah, he got further than McCorkell.

[MintTrav]

With Volpe on his team, and cashes by Clements and Gorodinsky in the Main and Leah in #69, Barrie has a remote chance of catching Steve for third place. Kelly also cashed in the Main and Negreanu and Hastings cashed in #69, but they both have all of those.

Carl is guaranteed to finish second

and

Luca has won the competition, unable to be caught now.

Along with the cash prizes, Des has donated an APAT main event seat to the winner.

Congrats Luca .

I can lay claim to 25% of Obst in Staker.

Great fantasy comp guys.   Again very well ran and updated.  Congrats on your win Luca.

"The day began with Tournament Director Jack Effel informing the players that Day 6 play will be comprised of five two-hour levels or until the field is down to the final 27 players, whichever comes first. If the final three tables are not reached at the end of five levels, play will continue until those tables are reached."

In other words, they are playing until they reach 27 players.

Is it me? Surely the above means that the number of levels doesn"t come into it.

Well that seems to be a wrap for another WSOP fantasy league..

Really enjoyed this years game, think the points scoring system seemed to work better aswell as the dropping of catergories.

A huge thanks yet again to John who has spent endless hours updating thread aswell as Staker updates.
Thanks to Des for the added value that I"m sure Luca will make good use of at WCOAP, aswell as the added value from Grosvenor in the Staker game, would be awesome to see some APAT guys run deep in Goliath esp if they freeroll from staker tokens.

Congrats..

#1.. Luca Cannella £110+APAT national seat
#2.. Me £50
#3.. Steve Ball..£30

Let"s see if we can get 30+ runners next year.
