WSOP Fantasy teams rules and selections..(page3)

[MintTrav]

I"ve been hampered by my captain deciding that he would rather feck off to Brazil to watch England in the World Cup. Now that he has actually decided to show up in Vegas, can we make a late run or is it too late? We are nine points behind second place, but fourteen behind Rob and there aren"t many mixed games left.

Great night last night for my team, Ivey finally gets his 1st bracelet of the series and more importantly double points for my team, Kidpoker and the Poker Brat also cash again. Keep the points coming lads

[MintTrav]

So, after being asleep for most of the Summer, with just one cash, Ivey finally wakes up with two results in quick succession, finishing 30th in #48 and then winning #50. Where did that come from? Also double-scoring in recent events were Hellmuth, Negreanu and David Chiu.

Updated scores to be posted shortly. I have included #49 and #52, which are still playing but have finished for the night with two and ten players remaining, as we have scorers in both, but none of us have any of those still playing.

#51 still has a long way to go. With 7,862 entries, I wonder whether this should receive bonus points like the Main Event does. I don"t think either should generate a bonus for cashing, as a set percentage of players cash irrespective of the number of entries, but reaching the final table of a massed field is a lot harder than one with a few hundred entrants.

Hoping Melanie Weisner can take down the Womens event and then i still won"t feel as bad about not picking Selbst

Also i meant to pick Danzer last year and didn"t and also overlooked him this year, guess i need Calvin to win a second bracelet now

Yeah, Danzer is the nuts. Won his fourth SCOOP recently (same as Calvin) and six WSOP cashes so far this year, including two bracelets, a 5th and a 9th.

The woman you wanted this year is Melissa Burr, who has had four cashes, the lowest of which was 9th.

Maria Ho has been a beast this series with 6 cashes so far and still in the monster stack so 7 at least..Ole Shemion has decided to make an appearance at last so hope he can start to earn a few points for those of us who had faith in him!

#56 is still running, but there are just nine players left and we don"t have any of them, so the spreadsheet is inclusive of this event for our purposes.

So, Negreanu picked up points for the FT of the 42-runner One Drop, which boosted half of our entrants. He has had more cashes than anyone else selected, but had only made one FT before now. This brings him level on points with Anderson and Kelly, who have had fewer cashes, but better conversion rates.

After 59 events, Rob is still out in front, principally due to being one of only two to select Dan Kelly. Dann Williams also had Kelly, along with Negreanu, but didn"t back them up with Hellmuth.

Hellmuth final-tabled #61, strengthening the position of our leaders, who all have him as their Captain:

Looking over recent results, I see that Melissa Burr just missed out on yet another final table, finishing 13th in #59, but I was pleased to see that Chou Chou finished 24th in #58.

#62 and #64 are still running, but all other events have been completed, apart from the Main Event.

I will be in Bristol for the APAT event this weekend, so I have entered the cashers to date in those two - the remainder are largely nonentities (or, to rephrase, they didn"t get picked by any of our expert judges). Kessler and Obrestad have recently busted, so we just have Moorman still going in #62 and Trickett in #64. Volpe is listed as both having busted ITM and as being still in #62. I have given Moorman and Trickett one point each on the expectation that they won"t make the final table. That can be amended if Moorman gets there.

Congratulations to Trickett for his, ahem, second cash of the Series, confounding my prediction by doubling his number of cashes in recent years. I guess I have to eat my words.

So, the scores after 64 events are:

71   Rob
62   Jason
61   Steve
59   Warren
59   Debbie
58   Chris
56   Simon

Just awaiting confirmation from John that the series sweat has been completed? And Robs team has won?..

Yes, and no. The scores didn"t change, so Rob is still nine points ahead of Jason and ten ahead of Steve. However, I think we ended up saying that the Main would score double points (as suggested by Rob!), so he doesn"t win if a member of their teams takes down the Main Event.

Also, anyone with more than 50 points could still win if their captain wins the Main.

Carl, I think you should start a book on which day this week Rob will win.

Just updated the spreadsheet. Funny thing is that Moorman doesn"t show in the results for #62. He was on the list while the tournament was running, but he ain"t there now. It"s strange, cos the WSOP site is usually so reliable during the events  . I just checked earlier that he and Trickshot didn"t make the FTs, which they didn"t, so assumed that they were in the cashers.

The only person affected is Rob, though a reduction of one point has no effect on the results:

Six of our players won bracelets - Anderson, Kelly, Parker, Volpe, Ivey & Selbst.

Anderson made the most final tables.

Negreanu had the most cashes.

Several players didn"t show up at all. Of those who took part, several who were expected to shine just crashed and burned - Esfandiari was the biggest flop, but Obrestad, McDonald, Ashton, Vamplew, Rettenmaier, Moorman, Timoshenko, Trickett, Mizrachi, Duhamel, Elky and Greenstein all pretty much disappointed. Ivey too appeared to be AWOL until he popped up to win a bracelet.
