Is nobody following the WSOP this year?
Been a great series so far, especially with all the live feeds online.
Some great final tables and stories so far in the year:
Brock Parker wins two bracelets in space of 4 days (one heads up vs Negreanu)
and
Phil Ivey winning two bracelets in the same week and sweeping up $Million$ in side bets...
Who"s following?
-
I"m following...
Ivey apparently gave his winnings in the first one to the dealer, before collecting a few million in side bets.
De Wolfe has a few FTs
Michael Greco came 3rd from 2500 in a $1500 donkshoot. WP that man too
-
Yeah, I"m following it too. Ivey is a machine. I"ve been following Negreanu"s Blogs where he praises Ivey and tells it how it is in the WSOP when you"re playin 15 hour days.
I"m glad we have a thread to discuss it now, WP Crizzy :)

Yeah I heard he gave the dealers the winnings, when asked during heads up by the guy he was playing how much was the bracelet worth to him he replied "about $3 mil"... sickness. I heard apparently he"s picking up around $10mil for the 2nd bracelet but that"s just a rumour at the moment. The $3m came straight from his mouth though!
Noticed Greco was at a final table too, very WP - how much he get?
DeWolfe is on a final table today or tomorrow with Andy Black, Alex Kravchenko & Scott Clements...

WSOP: Roland De Wolfe Wins 1st Bracelet and Completes Triple Crown
Roland De Wolfe Union Jacked his way to a bracelet.The World Series of Poker final table for the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8 or Better (Event 27) was stacked with experienced players used to playing on the biggest of stages. But it would be Roland De Wolfe, sporting a Union Jack track jacket, that won his first WSOP bracelet and became only the second player ever to win poker's triple crown - EPT title, WPT title and a WSOP bracelet
Scott Clements, Alex Kravchenko, Andy Black and Brett Richey did what they could, but De Wolfe completed his trifecta and took home his first bracelet. Gavin Griffin is the only other player to win poker's triple crown.
The first to leave the feature table area for the short walk to the cashier's cage was Anthony Lellouche. Clements raised from middle position and Lellouche called. The flop came T 8 6 and Lellouched led out and Clements raised the pot and Lellouche called all-in. Clements held A 9 7 2 for the nut high and a draw to the nut low. Lellouche held A Q T 2 and needed help, the turn was T which gave him some hope, but the J on the river was of no help.
A short stacked Armando Ruiz raised to 56,000 and Richey raised enough to put Ruiz all-in. He called with A Q 3 2 and Richey was ahead with A A 9 7. The board ran K K 8 8 J and Ruiz's day was over with an 8th place finish.
John Racener bet 40,000 on a flop of T 4 2 and Robert Campbell called. A 9 came on the turn and Racener moved in with the rest of his stack and Campbell with live cards - A 7 3 2. Racener was ahead with A 3 9 8 and the 3 on the river completed Campbell's flush and gave him a better low. Campbell scooped the pot and Racener was out in 7th place.
A rather quiet Black raised the pot, which was most of his chips, and Campbell reraised to put Black all-in. Black called and tabled A A 4 3 and Cambell showed A A 5 4. They went to the flop with almost identical hands and the board ran Q J 9 7 6 which gave Campbell a flush on the river. Black collected over $42,000 for his 6th place finish.
Clements had nearly half the chips in play and called Kravchenko's preflop all-in. Clements held A 9 7 5 and Kravchenko held 8 754. The board bricked for Kravchenko with J T 5 K 6 and Clements won the pot with only a pair of fives. Kravchenko was never able to gain any momentum and ended the day in 5th place.
Campbell bet 140,00 on a flop of 7 5 3 and De Wolfe called. Campbell moved in on the 4 turn and De Wolfe called with A 9 7 6. Campbell was behind and needed a club to stay alive, but the 8 on the river gave the whole pot to De Wolfe and Campbell was out in 4th place.
Clements, who some some consider the best tournament Omaha player on the planet, looked to be sailing smooth and in complete control of the final table. But Clements raised to 80,000 and De Wolfe reraised the pot. Then Clements re-pots with another raise only to have De Wolfe move all-in. The Brit showed A 2 2 3 and Clements tabled A A 5 4. The board ran Q J 9 6 7 giving De Wolfe the flush and the chip lead.
Only a few moments later, Clements raised the size of pot and De Wolfe called. The flop came 9 7 2 and again Clements potted. De Wolfe reraised the pot and Clements moved all-in. De Wolfe held A 9 8 3 and Clements held A A 6 4. The turn was the 5, which gave De Wolfe the low and the river was K which scooped the pot for De Wolfe. Clements lost the largest pot of the tournament, about 2,500,000, and was eliminated in 3rd place.
Richey raised preflop and De Wolfe called to see a flop of T 8 4. De Wolfe checked and Richey bet, and then De Wolfe raised the pot and Richey went all in. De Wolfe was ahead with A Q 8 4 and Richey held Q J T 9 for top pair and a straight draw. The turn and river came 2 A and De Wolfe won his first WSOP bracelet.

I heard somewhere that Phil Ivey did some kind of deal at the FT for the first bracelet. Anyone else heard about this?
No deal I believe. He just gave his winnings (about 90K) to the dealer, before collecting the $3m he won by betting on himself to win a bracelet

He said something in an interview about a "settlement"

Just watched the interview again on the "link removed" site and yes, he settled on the sidebet which meant he "had to win another"
