Smith has just gone in 3rd. Big points for the two Simons, who both have Seidel as their captain.

#30 Craig McCorkell? Or are there less than 235 left now?

Finished 215th.  216 paid.

The WSOP site has a piece all about the elimination of Loni Wood, mentioning the name several times. I"m assuming that"s Loni Harwood.

Flippin Sharplea.

[MintTrav]

Eoghan O"Dea and John O"Shea both in the top twenty of #31 PLO Hi-Lo.

Could be an all-Irish Heads-Up?

To many Dan"s IMO I confused Smith for Kelley ooopps

Flippin Sharplea.

It was her.    The Loni Wood post disappeared for a while and then reappeared with Harwood replacing Wood throughout.

Nice one Adam.


For those who don"t know, we are one of the very few WSOP Fantasy Leagues in the world to have received an entry from an official WSOP updater, which we are very proud of.

Unfortunately, like me, he doesn"t know up from down when it comes to forecasting players" performances and is bumping along just above the bottom, eternally grateful that Suzanne entered the competition. He picked up points in #28 and #29 to overtake me, but Loni"s point would bring me level again, which is obviously why he tried to nobble her in the official updates.

Haha made me chuckle.. Adam getting rubz for his lack of player knowledge

My tactics of luring you all into a false sense of security is working I see  

[MintTrav]

Twenty-one still standing in #30 and we have two of them, with Moorman in 3rd and Elky in 11th; Loni, Bakes and McCorkell having already pointed.

Is that a word - to point, in the sense of scoring points?

I point, you point, he points, Suzanne doesn"t point........

You can outpoint someone, so surely you can point?

We have plenty of runners still in #32, with Dedders in the chip lead.

One of IrishTom's original selections, bracelet-winner and serial WSOP-casher Jennifer Tilly, is riding high in 5th place out of 550 starters. Shudda stuck with Jen, Tom.

It looks very close at the top, but this might be the last opportunity to see Carl in the lead. Steve looks like he has at least one big score coming, with Moorman currently 2/16 in #30 and the possibility of a second one, with Deadman 1/190 in #32. Richard can also catch Carl if Elky squeezes onto the FT, currently 11/16.

Its a strange word "point", so many definitions. It must be so difficult to learn the english language as a foreigner.

I got in contact with an old boyfriend of mine on FB who is Spanish. I was reasonably fluent back then but after many years of not speaking the language decided to use a translation site to make sure I got it right. Unfortunately the site translated "kid" as a small goat which also happens to be a derogatory word describing a child of no parentage.

Needless to say he did not reply.

A pointless post but thought I would share as it was funnier than yours

Lucky old Fandango. Moorman and Elky both just miss the final table. They both made the classic mistake of trying to win all ten points before they had secured the five for ninth, forgetting all of Steve and Richard"s instructions in the heat of the moment and each accepting a flip that he ended up losing.

Gareth and Dann are also rueing Moorman"s blow-up, especially Dann, who shares the Moorman/Deadman combination with Steve.

In other news, Deadman is in freefall in #32, currently 19/24.

Not the first time someone has asked how Carl runs so good.

#32 is looking very interesting now. With 24 left, recent bracelet winner Tuan Le is 2nd. Mike Gorodinsky,  who has chalked up three high cashes with 2nd, 9th and 28th place results already this year, is there again in 7th. How come no one has him in their team?

Jennifer Tilly is still up there in 5th place and has all our best wishes.

Oh yeah, Deadman and Mercier are still hanging around near the bottom.

Meanwhile, I can"t decide which player played this hand worse when there were 29 left:
