Four events have been taking place overnight as follows

- Colossus is down to the last 40 or so. It looks like one Brit is left, Ben Heath. Full summary when the end of play stuff comes through

David ODB Baker is the highest profile name i recognise left

- the $10K 7CS is on the final table with 7 left, i will put the result up when it has finished

Quite the seven players. Benjamine, Danzer, R Mizrachi, Forrest and Chen among them

Stephen Chidwick and Adam Owen cashed in 11th and 12th respectively


both of these were Staker events. anyone claiming staking a casher or final tabler before the results are calculated? I expect there are a few ODBs, Danzers, Mizrachis and Chidwicks around...

In non staker events


-  the $1k top up turbo NLHE is down to its final table from 667 starters

A German and a Belgian amongst seven Americans, and no one i know of

UK Cashers were Liv Boeree in 29th and one of the six poker playing Tom Hall"s in 72nd

- $1500 DC Six Max began overnight and 82 of 389 remain

Chufty Ashby is showing 3rd in the counts, Stuart Rutter 12th

after that starting tomorrow

Event #11: $10,000 Dealers Choice 6-Handed Championship


this is getting fantasy expensive....

[TightEnd]

The result is in for WSOP #3 $10k Stud Championship. 

The high buy in and small field of 87 runners made this our highest risk event to date. Stakers participated in volume, placing 183 stakes at a value of £322k.

The players did not disappoint either, bringing in 21 profitable stakes. Indeed, stakers owned a piece of the top 4 finishers and 7 of the 14 players who cashed.

With those figures, we might have expected a bloodbath in payouts.  However, the percentages held by stakers were relatively low and the final outcome of £133k paid saw the big guy with the baseball bat win once again.

Congrats to Leigh Wiltshire who topped the leaderboard, with a profit of just over £40k in the event.

Can you beat the Staker?  www.staker.co.uk

We are declaring Colossus as the first win of the series for the Stakers!  

With none of this evening"s 9 finalists backed, we"ve applied your cashes a day early and are pleased to say the Stakers took £26.8K in payouts, from £19.0k in stakes. 

A massive 42 of the 136 stakes placed were successful, with Roddy Farmer recording the single biggest return of £2.3k, thanks to his 63% ownership of Scott Clements. 

It was Matt Whitting who posted the best overall performance though, with profitable stakes on Kelly Minkin, Maria Ho and Matt Marafioti giving him a £2.6k profit on the event. 

See the website for the full leaderboard.
