Satellite tickets received, thanks Des.

Used one already this evening, sat down at late reg, first hand KK, raised 4x blind, 1 caller, 246 flop, bet pot, he calls, turn J, all in for 2100  into a 1700 pot he calls, on river gives him a flush! Good game!

STAKER - WSOP #68: $10,000 Main Event No Limit Hold'em Championship

Staker	Profit
Tom Feilding	£290,880
Des Duffy	£  67,500
Richard Prew	£  41,594
Carl Pilgrim	£  40,323
Del Watson	£  25,544
Alan Ellis	£  12,526
Craig Dawson	£    8,803
Ross Warren	£    8,167
Simon Lawlor	£    1,585

You gotta take some chances, and Tom took a chance by putting his whole stake on one player. That player was James Obst, when finished 13th, giving no-one else any chance of taking the prize.

Richard and Carl had percentages of Max Silver (33rd); Del had some of Paul Volpe (29th), while Alan and Ross had part of Tom Middleton (56th). Until those players were eliminated, it was still possible for their stakers to to win the £250, despite holding smaller shares, given the way the prize money accelerates as you climb the finishing places. The only one of the top group who couldn"t win it was Des, who had a smaller percentage of Obst, so could never finish ahead of Tom, once his other players were out.

Craig also went down the 100% route but, if you do that, you gotta choose the guy who"s going to be 13th, not 499th as luckychewy Andrew Lichtenberger was.

Congrats Tom!

Also had % of Simon Deadman but wouldn"t change much apart from leapfrogging Tighty

Been a great promo this.  Won a Goliath £120 ticket for a Top 10 finish in staker, and converted a £5 satellite token into another Goliath seat.
