WSOP 2015 Fantasy poker rules.. Pick your team

[MintTrav]

How is my wild card Charlie boy doing (who hasnt been mentioned I noticed)?

He was doing well earlier but I can"t see him now and hasn"t been mentioned in the updates, unless I"ve missed it.
So I don"t see him in but I haven"t seen him go out.
You"d think they would notice him one way or the other.



He five-bet pre-flop to 17,000, with 35,000 behind, earlier and got a fold. Claims to have had T7, but who knows. Similar poker style to yourself.

Two of your other young boys, Cody and Bonomo, are doing very well today.

[MintTrav]

Found him. He"s going well on 115k - similar to Bonomo. Cody over 300k.

Are you making a late attempt at winning this?

Moorman was my only player playing overnight & he appears to have come through with an average stack.

Obviously, he won"t be looking to min cash so will be gambling on Day Three to build a big stack and ignoring the importance of laddering to a certain WSOP Fantasy League player. Will let him off if he final tables though.

Event #68: No-Limit Hold'em MAIN EVENT - Day 2AB

A pretty good stack I"d have thought, Steve.

646 players have gone through to Day 3.

We lost Mercier, Ashton, Schemion, Lisandro, Mortensen, Ausmus and Haxton, but the following will be happy tonight:

14 Cody 340k
99 Moorman 190k
119 Duhamel 177k
146 Danzer 164k
203 Bonomo 132k
229 Colman 123k
230 Bjorin 123k
302 Carrel 96k
319 Zhang 92k (another one I had missed as she doesn"t seem to have played until now)

So Debbie"s quest to overtake Tom and Barrie for third is still alive, as is Suzanne"s to overtake me at the bottom. She needs two of her three young men to get to the final table. They are doing everything they can for her and she now has a rest day to prepare them for the next stage.

[madsteve]

It appears that I have four players through to Day Three with Hellmuth, Negreanu & Finger joining Moorman in the quest to cash. I lost Deadman & Ho today.

Not sure what other players have left but I would have settled for that at the start.

Event #68: No-Limit Hold'em MAIN EVENT - Day 2C

It"s been a bloodbath for our players today.

1,142 players survived out of 2,765 starting the day but, for us, it was much worse.
We sent twenty-four players out but only seven returned.

These are the seventeen players who ended their series today:
Ho, Ivey, Mizrachi, Drinan, McDonald, Benger, Dempsey, Grospellier, Trickett, Musumeci, Somerville, Parker, Anderson, Geilich, Kessler, Silver, Deadman.

And these are the few who remain:
11 Glantz 306k
71 Kitai 220k
112 McCorkell 194k
376 Negreanu 123k
449 Finger 112k
601 Hellmuth 88k
978 Kelly 38k

[MintTrav]

Carl"s spurning of Hellgreanu has finally caught up with him, as the old reliables show their, er, reliability and both come through into Day 3. Steve, Barrie and Tom all have both players, so it doesn"t affect the race between them, but Carl is in danger of losing two points to each of them and there is now a real possibility that Tom or Barrie could catch him.

Steve is in the driving seat, still having four players in the competition, with Moorman and Finger still in, along with H & N. Carl only has Danzer left.

In the battle for third, both have Hellgreanu, but Tom has Kitai and Danzer, while Barrie just has Cody.

It"s all going to the wire.............

[fandango]

With around 700 off the money and more importantly the points for us looking like my prediction of 3 getting in looks there or there abouts..

My only hope is George Danzer..

Steve looking good with 4 of his players still left in.

Although I"m happy to see Deadman fall last night, a player who I rate highly and was positive for a deep run..

Will be interesting to see if the bubble bursts tonight? I reckon there must be some very short stacks going into day 3.

[MintTrav]

There are individual battles all the way through the field. For example, a bitter five-way struggle is raging for the coveted tenth place between Adam (Sharples), IrishTom, the two Simons and defending champion Rob. Everyone wants to finish in the top ten; nobody wants to be fourteenth. No surprise that Rob is dominating with Hellgreanu and Kitai, while Simon B (no relation to Mel B) just has Hellgreanu. Adam has Hellgreanu and Danzer, RedSimon has Hell and Danzer, but IrishTom only has Negs. Rob seems to have tenth place secured, but the other places could go in any direction, so it will be a tense all-night session by the laptop for all of them tonight, waiting for the vital updates to come through.

[MintTrav]

Everybody still has at least one player in the Main.

Top picker for this event is Gareth, with five players into Day 3 - Hellmuth, Moorman, Bonomo, Glantz and Negreanu.

Dann, Paxo, Chris, George, Tom F and Steve have four.

Worst are IrishTom, Carl and me, with one each. Last time I pick an all-female team.

[Tawled]

is coleman out ?

[MintTrav]

is coleman out ?

No, your player is still in, Del. 123k.

Let"s GO team #TeamHellNegsCody

Your due me some points Mr Cody

[Curlarge]

Just looking at the points table, it shows just how much picking the right captain is vital to your chances of winning. I wonder what it would look like if it wasn"t double points.

Like this. Chris would have been up there but he slipped by picking a dodgy captain. Tom has capitalised by having Hellmuth.
