Day 1 of Event 1's over and there's 70 players left.

Those who picked Eli Elezra have got a right jammy bargain as he's right at the top amongst the chipleaders!

Those that matter (to us in this comp) that are also left are Patrik Antonius, Andy Bloch, Humberto Brenes, Bill Chen, Chris Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, Alexander Kostritsyn (looks like a helluva pick runadrum!) and Kathy Liebert.

OT: The highest placed remaining Brit appears to be John Kabbaj in 39th out of 70 players left.

[Evad Black]

Just found my team, no idea what I called it...

Allen Cunningham (350)
Erik Seidel (350)
Roland De Wolfe (300)
TJ Cloutier (250)
Dave "Devilfish" Ulliot (150)
Men Nguyen (150)
David Benyamine (150)
Eli Elezra (40)
John Leontakianakos (40)
Dewey Tomko (40)

So two guys left in the first tournament, with Elezra obviously being my big hope there. Should make following the WSOP more interesting this year.

[stereoman]

The top 20 in Event 1 include Patrik Antonius, Andy Bloch, Eli Elezra, Alexander Kostritsyn and Kathy Liebert.

Other names of note still in are Chris Bell, John Kabbaj, Phil Laak, Nenad Medic, Mike Sexton and Rolf Slotboom (who was eliminated in 20th place).

[msaban]

last 5 from event 1, current chip counts:

Updated Chip Counts

Andy Bloch 2,710,000
Nenad Medic 1,680,000
Mike Sexton 1,230,000
Kathy Liebert 670,000
Amit Makhija 660,000

[stereoman]

Yeah msaban, slapdash and Dodger will certainly get an early lead amongst the PL teams thanks to Andy Bloch and Kathy Liebert.

Early doors, mind as there's still ten events to go! Phil Hellmuth might actually recover in time and play in one of these events!

Is Phil Hellmuth marrying Phil Hellmuth?

[stereoman]

Read over on Poker News that Hellmuth entered into Event 2 around two and a half hours late (as he's want to because he likes a fashionably late entrance) and promptly got KTFO of the tourney shortly after!

Oh...here are the blog entries:

Hellmuth Decides to Play

Phil Hellmuth, in typical Hellmuth fashion, decided to wait until two and a half hours into today's event to arrive. He showed up wearing a racing jacket, introduced himself to everyone at his table, and took his seat directly to the left of Mekhi Phifer. Due to the late registration versus late arrival rule, Phil's chip stack has been dwindled down to 1,900.

http://www.pokernews.com/live-report...72.htm#no47972

Only lasting for thirty minutes, and down to just 575 in chips, Phil Hellmuth made it 500 to go preflop from the big blind. A middle-position player called, as did a late-position player. On a flop of Ad Ac 6s, Hellmuth shoved all in for his remaining 75. The middle-player position called and the late-position player made it 2,000 more to go. The middle-position player folded and Hellmuth's pocket queens were up against the late-position player's A-7. The turn brought another six, giving Hellmuth's opponent a full house, but the river dropped another ace, giving him quads to eliminate Hellmuth from today's event.

Hellmuth's a right Peter O inhe!?

============

Between Andy Bloch and Nenad Medic as to who'll win Event 1.

3rd Kathy Liebert, 4th Mike Sexton and 5th Amit Makhija.

Just realized I didn't have Andy Bloch in the Full Tilt comp as well.

I was sure I'd picked him!

Still, I scored a bit for Patrik Antonius on Full Tilt.

No idea who finished 18th, 19th and 20th.

The heads-up event that's going on right now and concludes on Sunday night is going to be a slight 'mare to sort out as to who scored points for 17th to 20th innit?

[stereoman]

Hmmm. If PokerPlayer scores it like they do on this page then it's by the order of when they get knocked up which is a kind of an odd way to do things but hey, it makes the scoring easier doesn't it!?

Just for the fook of it I'll put the result up like that but you'll have to read it from left to right as regards finishing order.
