WSOP 2015 Fantasy poker rules.. Pick your team

Event #68: No-Limit Hold'em MAIN EVENT - Day 4

237 players left.
Danzer & McCorkell are out.

Four march on:
31   1.350m   Bonomo
32   1.335m   Negreanu
98       802k    Glantz
107     764k    Cody

Which means we still can"t put this damn competition to bed. The top three, Steve, Tom and Carl will stay in that sequence no matter what happens. Barrie is the wildcard - if Cody gets to  the final table, he will leapfrog everyone and win the league. If Negreanu gets there, and Cody doesn"t, he will overtake Carl for third. In fact, from nowhere, George would draw level with Carl as joint fourth.

A lot of people have Negreanu and can still pick up some extra points. Paxo still has Cody, along with Negreanu, and Gareth, unbelievably, still has three players going, with Glantz, Bonomo and Negreanu.

The other aspect of interest to some is the race to avoid coming last. Suzanne has Cody and Bonomo is her Captain. Neither of them has done much to repay her faith in them in the Series so far. Maybe this is the time. I have no players left to help hold her off.

Ahem.....

By my reckoning, which has been known to be wrong on rare occasions, if Mr. Negranau wins, I would get 20 points as he is my Capitano, and would give me 97 points which I dont think anyone else can match. I may however be wrong!!!!!

I think they are saying that the max you can get in the main event would be 5 (10 if he"s your captain) otherwise this competition would end in November

[MintTrav]

Sorry Richard, I had totally overlooked that Negreanu is your captain.

If he reaches the final table, we will have no option other than waiting til November to find out that he doesn"t win and Steve wins the league anyway.

Can"t understand how I missed that. I blame Diana Svensk.

As it happens, he is currently in 91st place, so it is 50/50 that he won"t get there.

[MintTrav]

I"ve got other things to panic about - Bonomo has only gone up to 5th place and Cody is still around in 52nd. Will this nightmare never end?

Negreanu and Glantz are still there too, a bit further down.

156 left.

Thanks for running this, made the wsop a bit more interesting although I didn"t trouble the top spots was fun, cheers.

Neymar was at the Rio today to support a friend, though it seems to have turned out the other way round:



Felipe Mojave Ramos finished 128th.

[MintTrav]

Six hours into Day 5, and the bad news is that Fatima Moreira de Melo, Susie Zhao and Lily Newhouse have all been knocked out today, joining Irina Batorevich, who went late yesterday.

Diana Svensk is still there, now in 37th, having recently won a huge pot by pulling off a massive all-in river bluff, which she showed.

Oh yeah, Glantz is out too.

Bonomo still in a final-table position.  

120 left.

[MintTrav]

Big news for Barrie and Richard. Negreanu has just had a full double-up, AIPF with KK v AK and is now up to 19th.

Yesterday he virtually doubled with AK against Hellmuth"s QQ. This time he gets the right result again.

He has also rivered the nuts a couple of times when there were already lots of chips in the pot.

He won"t have much to complain about if he loses one from in front at some point.

[MintTrav]

And Cody has gone in the last hand before dinner, bluffing all-in against George McDonald, who was holding the nuts.

McDonald, from Glasgow, has only one result showing on HendonMob since January 2013, which was winning £155 for his share of a three-way chop in a £13 tournament at Aspers Newcastle four weeks ago.

And so end Barrie"s hopes of winning the league.

[MintTrav]

And................regarding the Negreanu situation..........

Steve had 89 points before the Main Event. He has picked up three points so far from this event, two for having Hellmuth as his captain and one for Negreanu, taking him to 92.

Richard started the Main with 77 and has also earned three so far, two for having Negreanu as his captain and one for Hellmuth, putting him on 80.

If Negreanu wins the tournament, Richard will receive 20 points (ie another 18), taking him to 98. [You quoted 97, Richard, but I"m assuming that missed your Hellmuth point.]

However, a Negreanu win would also give Steve 10 points (another 9), which would get him up to 101. Similarly, Tom would be on 100 and Barrie would also reach 98. George and Chris would also overtake Carl.

A non-winning Negreanu final table would give third place to Barrie.

So Steve cannot now be overtaken for first place. The same applies to Tom for second. A win for Negreanu is still unlikely but we can"t yet declare it.

[MintTrav]

So the winner of the league for 2015 is Steve Ball.

Second is Tom Fielding.

Third place not yet decided.
