WSOP 2015 Fantasy poker rules.. Pick your team

[Big Club]

Have I scored a point yet? I"m losing interest fast.

Haha Brooksy my man.. yes is the answer!! may even be 5 or 10 dependant on Chidders outcome in the shootout later.. BTW you picked the wrong David Baker   he hasnt cashed this series yet, but the other David "ODB" Baker has..

Have I scored a point yet? I"m losing interest fast.

Nope. Your own fault - shudda picked better.

Bakes and Chidwick threatened a couple of times, but crashed. Similarly Negraneu, now that he has bothered to turn up.

Actually, you will be getting one as Chidwick won his first-round shootout.

It"s still early though - tons of tournaments still to go.

FML... you know you"ve got problems when Pilgsy and Murray taking potshots.

Your player lasted 8 minutes, donking off his whole stack of 74,000 chips in one hand at 300/600!

He then legged it without his ticket, apparently unaware that everyone who made Day 2 was in the money, leading to a farcical scene of WSOP staff trying to find him in the crowd. Quote from the official WSOP update "When the dealer called out the elimination the floor ran for the door in hopes to track Chidwick down and let him know that he needs to get paid out". http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/update/EMY/stephen-chidwick-first-elimination-of-the-day/
Unfortunately, as your player didn"t cash, we have no option but to withhold your point, so you will remain on zero. Unlucky.

I taught him everything he knows

[MintTrav]

Event#15 still in are Seiver, Danzer, Kenney, Merson, Negranue and a very short stacked Ludo

Connor "Cry Baby" Drinan is also still in and going strong in 10th place for Adam Sz, apparently unaffected by the furore caused by his unsubstantiated allegations of cheating against the player who whipped his ass in the HU.

There is still a long way to go in this one, but we have no selections left.

Stephen Chidwick finally cashes an event and half of our entrants get a point. Carl "My players score points in every event" Pligrim gets two for having Chidders as his captain.

Only two chose Bonomo, though, with Suzanne getting double points for her faith in him.

Of course, what everyone wants to know is "How is Samantha Abernathy doing?". Don"t worry, she has improved from 74k at the start of the day to 90k, though there is still a lot of work to do to recover from Chidwick doubling up one of the players on that table.

Craig McCorkell will FT at least. Wish I"d chosen him as my captain!

You were right. The final table has started and McCorkell is very much still there 3/6.
You are the only one who has him.

McCorkell finishes 5th. Another great result for him, his second cash this year, having just missed the final table in #4. I don"t understand why more people haven"t picked him in their teams as their British player, or indeed as a wildcard. Four WSOP cashes in 2012, including winning a bracelet and coming 172nd in the Main, four more cashes in 2013 and just the one last year, though that one was for 13th in the Main. On top of all that, he played the £10 rebuy in Portsmouth for several years - an excellent grounding for any future Hall-of-Famer. Nice result for Dave Paxton.

Kenney and Katchalov also pick up their second cashes of the year. Nice work by Kenney in particular, following on from getting to heads-up for a bracelet in #2.

So Paxo scores 5 points for McCorkell, Ena Sharples and Brian score with Leonard (double points for Ena), Kenney brings points for Brian (again) and Craig, while Gareth picks up a point with Katchalov.

And the news you"ve been waiting for. Samantha Abernathy got to heads-up in round 2 of the shootout, #14. So close to a final table in her first WSOP event. Watch out for her - she"s one you"ll hear plenty more about, if I have anything to do with it (which I do).

[MintTrav]

Meanwhile, they are very close to the money in #15 - twenty left, eighteen to cash. Greg Merson is reasonably comfortable in 11th place with 155k, Cry-Baby is 16th with 110k and Negraneu (remember him?) is trying to hang on for a point in 20th with 89k. The player in 13th has 117k, with a largish gap above him, so Negraneu"s situation is by no means irrecoverable, with all of the bottom eight at risk.

Cry baby cashes.. Negraneu BUBBLES!.. Merson on unofficial FT 10 left.. think it needs to be 9 before he has a nailed on 5 points?
