David Vamplew finished an agonising 2nd for the 2nd time this Series as he was beaten by American player Barry Shaffer
WSOP54 - $1000 NLH - 2883 entrants
Clock one up for the ladies! Dana Castaneda took it down to become the first female to win an Open event since 2007. She only entered after cashing the Ladies Event (she has so little known form the Hendon Mob database have just that cash for her, and have her down as Ukranian, even though the WSOP has her down as a cocktail waitress from Vegas). She has said she will now use part of her $454,000 prize to buy in to the Main Event. Thomas Hall was the second elimination of the day to end up in 13th.
WSOP55 - $50000 Poker Players Championship -132 entrants
Still playing Day 3 with 26 players left. Don Nguyen appears to have the chip lead, with Chidwick & Ashton still in but the chip count page is notorious for being behind "real time". I won't be around later to do a full end-of-day report so if anyone else is able to oblige I'll be grateful.
WSOP 56 - $2500 NLH - 1736 entrants
23 players have made it through Day 2, with the chip leader being Japanese player Yasuhiro "OJ" Ojiri. The only player the WSOP has as British that is still in is Nicolas Levi (although i believe he is actually French), after Jack Salter crashed on as the last elimination of the night. Contrary to my post on last night's show thread, Dan Pickard (Nosebleed) does not appear on the list of cashers so he must have bust quietly near the bubble. Other British players who did cash include Klas Lofberg, Mark Teltchser, Paul vas Nunes, Jack Ellwood & Jamie Burland.
WSOP57 - $5000 NLH - 784 entrants
Day 1 culiminated with just over 230 players still standing, with Mark Darner the chip leader. A host of well known British players remain in this - Matt Perrins (5th), Sam Trickett (10th), Paul Foltyn (95th), Keith Hawkins (96th), Paul Ephremsem (100th), Rhys Jones (110th), Liv Boeree (165th), Vicky Coren (210th) & Gareth Teatum (218th). Also still in, the likes of Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Shulman, Andy Frankenberger, Maria Ho, JC Tran & Johnny Lodden

WSOP59 - $2500 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw
Just 8 remain to enter the fifth and final day, with Matthew Ashton still providing British interest lying in 3rd place behind chip leader Don Ngueyn. Among the other 6 - Jonathan Duhamel & David Benyamine
WSOP 56 - $2500 NLH - 1736 entrants
The end of the day was called 25 hands into heads-up action between German Nikolaus Teichert & American Vincent Maglio. Franco/Brit Nicolas Levi finished 9th, Scandi/Brit Klas Lofberg 62nd and complete Brit Mark Teltscher 65th. Paul vas Nunes, Martin Malone, Antony Forsyth Forrest, Deborah Worley Roberts & Jamie Burland also appear in the cash lists with a Union Flag next to their name.
WSOP57 - $5000 NLH - 784 entrants
31 still battle on for the first prize of nearly $800.000 and of course a bracelet. Seth Berger is the chip leader, with both Matt Perrins & Sam Trickett still in with a shout. Perrins lies 7th overnight with Tricky Trickett down in 25th and in need of a double up pretty sharpish. They've both locked up over $20,000 already. I can't see any other British names in the payout list.
WSOP58 - $1111 NLH - Little One for One Drop (Day 1A)
2233 were whittled down to 428 at the end of Day 1A, although I'm not sure if the 2233 were unique players or included re-entries. Pole Mikolaj Zawadzki has the Day 1A lead, with Liv Boeree in 3rd not far behind. Several other Brits have made Day 2, including Roberto Romanello, Sam Holden & our very own James Rann. All of these have a day off while Day 1B gets played
WSOP59 - $2500 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw - 282 entrants
A niche game, and with the buyin falling in between what the recreational players (and lesser-rolled pros) can reasonably afford and what the really big hitters want to play to thin the field down, the field of 282 was perhaps a surprise being well up on last year. 88 got through to Day 2, with the leader being Jie Jen Chang. Michael Mizrachi sits second, with the only British player listed is Richard Ashby in 27th place. Some other big names still survive e.g. Negreanu, Bonomo, Elezra etc.
To Start today - None (but it is Little One Drop Day 1B)
Could i be so bold as to ask for your christian name so we can all thank you in a more personal way.
Cheers

my guessis,,,,,, FRANK
Will let FCHD do the full report, but I watched a ton of the FT live stream. Played like a boss!!
Merseyside's Matthew Ashton is now a big name in US Poker circles after taking down what (to the pros) is the most important bracelet of the series. (and also taking down $1.8 million and the Chip Reese trophy). It was Ashton's fourth final table of the summer and has lifted him into contention for the Player of the Year award.
WSOP 56 - $2500 NLH - 1736 entrants
Nikolaus Teichert grabbed a bracelet for Germany by outlasting American Vincent Meglio in the heads-up stakes. For a list of how the Brits did, please see yesterday's post.
WSOP57 - $5000 NLH - 784 entrants
We're down to a final table, and there's a Brit at the top of the chip stacks again - Matt Perrins. Perrins has nearly 2 million chips with his nearest rival about half a million behind. Sam Trickett first on the day, ending up 31st for $20,450
WSOP58 - $1111 NLH - Little One for One Drop (Day 1B)
We're now being shown there were 4,576 entries (not necessarily entrants), with just over 900 left (just under 500 getting paid) Suraj Dutt led Day 1B, with Humberto Brenes in 3rd. Brits shown in the Day 1b listings - Andrew Hulme, Salman Behbehani, Jamie Dale, Charles Chattha, Rupom Pal, Toby Lewis, Stephen Chidwick, Craig McCorkell, Andrew Hills, Jonathen Beck, Laurence Houghton, Chris Bjorin (near enough a Brit these days?), Gary Fisher, Jack Salter, Keith Johnson, Alexander Schechter, Iaren Lightbourne, Joseph Carr-Hill, Rickie Vedhara, Ka Kwan Lu, plus Leo Margets is shown as from London but she is definitely not British.
WSOP59 - $2500 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw - 282 entrants
10 left with David "ODB" Baker leading the way. He finished 3rd in this last year, so he is a little bit of a specialist in this game. 6 of the 10 remaining are braclet holders - David Chiu & Daniel Negreanu (5 each), Michael Mizrachi (3) & Baker, Scott Siever & Eli Elezra (1 each) so it's a very well known group of players heading to the final tables. No UK Players made the cash

Main Event now only a couple of days away....
and for VepsaPX, my first name is Richard
After a long wait for a British bracelet, they come in threes! Matt Perrins added to Matthew Ashton & Barny Boatman's triumphs by taking down Event 57 for the bracelet and nearly $800.000. Perrins breezed through the final table in less than 140 hands, to take home his second bracelet.
WSOP58 - $1111 NLH - Little One for One Drop (Day 1B)
Still playing with 67 left, update to follow later
WSOP59 - $2500 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw - 282 entrants
A stacked final table which culiminated in Eli Elezra beating Daniel Negreanu heads-up to collect his second bracelet, six years after his first. The runner-up position will push Negreanu close to Player of the Year leader Matthew Ashton. David Chiu finished 4th, David "ODB" Baker 5th, Scott Siever 6th & Michael Mizrachi 9th.
WSOP60 - $1500 NLH - 2541 entrants
The last of the lower buy-ins saw a huge field trying to get some practice in before the Main Event and hopefully have a deep run. Joe Froehle is the chip leader, with an interesting player in 4th, Nathaniel "Nate" Silver - a well known statistician and psephologist in the US. British players still in (or at least those listed as British by the WSOP) - Daniel Cascado, Aurelien Guliglini, Daniel Coles, Rupert Elder, Graeme Ladd, Lee Taylor, Salman Bahbehani, Andrew Fields, John England, Adrian Passfield, Stephen Mehta, Ian Woodley, Philip Rigby & Jason Berry. 295 remain with 270 to get paid
WSOP61 - $10000 PLO - 386 entrants
A 30% increase in numbers for this, the penultimate event of the series augurs well for the Main Event numbers, 169 made Day 2, with Matt O'Donnell in the lead, followed by former Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel. Much interest in the room has centered on the run of Paul Pierce, a huge basketball name in the States, now with the Brooklyn Nets but more well known from his time at the Boston Celtics where he won an NBA Championship. Rickie Vedhara from Carlo's part of the world is top Brit in 40th, John Kabbaj, Gino Gabriel, Peter Charalambous, the ominpresent Steven Chidwick, David Shallow & Marc Daubach complete the list of "Brits with chips"
To start Today
Do you really need me to spell it out????
Does anyone know with Day 1 Tikay (and any other Sky players) is playing yet?
I watched the Matt Perrins final table and if anyone ever had a better run of cards I've not seen it. He got it in bad again and again and kept getting there. The key pot was KQ />AQ in a 6-bet pot for 80% of the chips in play with 3 left.
I'm pretty sure Tikay mentioned he's playing day 1A, so good luck to the old man!
Just over 1000 players started Day 2, only 67 will return for Day 3. Joseph Wilson has the chip lead, with the leading British player Roberto Romanello in third. Devonian Scott O'Reilly lies in the middle of the pack, while Chris Björin, who is of course Swedish but must be close to being an adpoted Brit by now, is in severe need of a double up, lying in third-last position. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like James Rann made the cash.
Still playing, now at the final table with 8 players remaining. Canadian Nghi Tran has the lead from a host of American players, with Gordon Huntly the best of the British brigade just falling short of making the final table in 11th. Scott O'Reilly finished 16th, Roberton Romanello 21st & Chris Bjorin 62nd
WSOP60 - $1500 NLH - 2541 entrants
Down to 2 tables (not sure if they have finished playing for the night or not), with Daniel Cascado in contention. Hendon Mob have no cashes at all anywhere for Cascado before this series, since when he's finished 52nd in the Millionaire Maker, 2nd in event 24 and 91st in event 40.
WSOP61 - $10000 PLO - 386 entrants
The bubble seemed to go on for ever but it eventaully burst (as of course it must). 40 remain (play is still going on), Stephen Chidwick & Eoghan O'Dea remain, and as soon as a full end-of-day listing is published I'll do an update on here.
WSOP62 - $10000 NLH - The Main Event - Day 1A
For most of the really important news, see Ryan's thread on Tikay's experience. If you haven't read it all, I'll just let you know that Tikay has survived to Day 2 with not far from his original starting stack still intact. Reigning Champ Gregg Merson has made Day 2 with about 80K chips, although 2011 winner Pius Heinz was eliminated when his set of 7s lost to a straight. Yucel Eminoglu, better known to viewers of the Sky Cash Game as "The Mad Turk", is sitting pretty with what might well be a Top 10 chip stack. Some others who played Day 1A - Joe Cada, Vicky Coren, Mike Sexton, Mike Matusow etc.
WSOP58 - $1111 NLH - Little One for One Drop (Day 1B)
8 players was the cut off point at the end of Day 3. No significant change from the post above.
WSOP60 - $1500 NLH - 2541 entrants
15 remain, with as mentioned above Daniel Cascado in a decent place for GB in 3rd. Cy Williams leads with Bijon Notash (and no that's not an anagram) from the wonderfully named Shaker Heights, Ohio in 2nd. Lying in 13th is Cormac OHiggins who the WSOP show as being from Iran but I believe is just a little bit (well a lot) Irish.
WSOP61 - $10000 PLO - 386 entrants
32 players eventually got through the day, headed by Russian Alexey Rybin. The WSOP site misled me earlier when it implied Eoghan O'Dea was still in, but there's still one player from the EMerald Isle still in - Marc Davis in 15th. Two Brits remain (Steven Chidwick & Rickie Vedhara) but this one is quite an internaional line-up as there's also two more Russians left, plus representation from France, Argentina, Germany, Latvia, Ukraine & Norway as well as the Canadian & US contingents. "Names" among those still left include Jonathan Duhamel, Tom Marchese, Joseph Cheong and double bracelet holder Oleksii Kovalchuk.
Player Of The Year Standings
Matthew Ashton is at the head of the standings for the moment, with Daniel Negreanu and David "Bakes" Baker in second and third. Stephen Chidwick lies in 27th and will surely move up after the Omaha finishes. This award of course won't be decided this week, with the results of the WSOP-E and the November Nine to be added later. (Tikay lies outside the Top 500 I'm afraid!)
Brian Yoon has tripled his lifetime live earnings by collecting nearly 2/3 of a million dollars and the braceleyf in the Little One for One Drop. He beat fellow Asian American Cuong Van Nguyen in a heads up battle that lasted only 10 hands.
WSOP60 - $1500 NLH - 2541 entrants
Just a week after Dana Castaneda finished the barren streak for women (not named Vanessa Selbst) in open bracelet events, Loni Harwood added another one for the ladies in the penultimate Hold'em event of the series. It was her third final table of the series and has lifted her to third in the Player of the Year race, behind Matthew Ashton & Daniel Negreanu. Daniel Cascado eventually exited in 6th, with Cormac O'Higgins (now shown correctly as from Ireland) in 10th.
WSOP61 - $10000 PLO - 386 entrants
Play continues late into the night with 5 players - in chip order Daniel Alaei, Jared Bleznick, James Wiese, Tom Marchese & Numit Agrawal. Steven Chidwick was eliminated in 32nd place followed a few minutes later by Rickie Vedhara in 28th. Of the Irish, Mark Davis finished one place higher than Vedhara, with Rory Brennan best in 8th.
WSOP62 - $10000 NLH - The Main Event - Day 1B
Not following Day 1B quite as avidly as Day 1A, but 1942 players took their seats (down oon lastyeas 2114) with Clement Tripodi ending as the end of day chip leader, with slightly more than the Day 1A leader. Close behind is well known player Daniel "Jungleman" Cates. Also progressing - the likes of Annette Obrestad, Rupert Elder, Scott Siever & Eugene Katchalov, plus former winners Doyle Brunson, Chris Moneymaker & Dan Harrington. Two former ME winners did not progress, Scotty Nguyen & Greg Raymer.
Daniel Alaei got the better of his 4 remaining compatriots to take down event 61, over $850,000 and his 4th WSOP bracelet
WSOP62 - $10000 NLH - The Main Event - Day 1C
A field of 3467 on Day 1C (slightly up on last year) meant a total field of 6352 for this year's main event, down about 250 players from 2012. Mark Kroon grabbed the chip lead late on. Most of the big name pros played today, Hellmuth, Ivey, Esfandiari, Negreanu, Mercier, Mizrachi plus Tom Dwan & Gus Hansen who entered but failed to show up and were blinded away all day, but still ending up with over half a starting stack at the end of the day. One more famous name who has ended up with a similar stack is Barcelona FC footballer Gerard Piqué.
Two former champions did not make it out of Day 1C - Huck Seed & Jonathan Duhamel.
I've not seen a full chip listing at the end of Day 1C yet, if anyone does get hold of it and can pick out any British players who got through, I'd be grateful.
584+1296+2306=4187 still standing to enter Day 2.
Top GB Qualifiers from Day 1C
Joel Ettedgi, Stephen Chidwick (of course), Shaun Conning, Sam Grafton, Sadan Turker all with over 100,000 chips
Benjamin Vinson, Tom Alner, Mitchell Johnson, Benjamin Rabin, Liam O'Donoghue, Chris DSylva, Gordon Huntly, Steffen Kylevik, Paul Coughlan and James Bord all on 80K or higher.
Jake Cody & Sam Holden among a host of other Brits with smaller but still very playable stacks.
So our hero failed to make it through Day 2. He wasn't alone , as the likes of Chris Moneymaker, Gaelle Baumann, Johnny Lodden, Joe Cada and Eugene Katchalov also lost all of their chips.
Of those who did progress, Nick Schwarmann (runner up in event 38) is the chip leader with over 400.000 with Rupert Elder best of the Brits in 5th place. Other big names to progress inculded the indefatigable Doyle Brunson, the title holder Greg Merson, October Niner Steve Gee, Anette Obrestad, Liv Boeree, Sorel Mizzi, Phii Galfond, Elizabeth Hille, Shane Warne (yes that Shane Warne) & star of last years TV coverage Kevin Pollak
Brits in with a decent stack
From 2A - Philip Long (185K), Martins Adeniya (170K), Mats Rosen (110K), Michael Wehner (96K), Sebastian Gohr (91K) & Darren Judges (81K)
From 2B - Elder (342K), Jonas Lauck (308K), James Morris (200K), Tim Davie (191K), Neil Walker (185K), Boeree (158K), Alexander Schechter (138K), Salman Behnehani (137K), Nic Levi (128K), Kevin Williams (125K), Joe Laming (123K), Alex Ferrand (123K), Morgan Sorfleet (108K), Paul Alterman (101K), Najib Kemand (94K), John Eames (90K)
Ross Boatman has also made it through albeit with a smaller stack than those above.
(Nice to see on this of all days, by the WSOP's rules, Shane Warne is shown as British!)
They can't put I8PALACE's Day 3 table up until tonight's play ends as tomorrow is when all the flights merge for the first time.
I wonder if he gives players at the table the same verbal abuse he does online?
I expect not but I am sure if he goes far in this it will give him something else to boast about while on the SKY tables.
The very TV-friendly Vladimir Geshkenbein lies second overnight, Michael Mirazchi is nicely poised not far behind, and one other well known name in the top 10 is Jean-Robert Ballande who manages to divide opinions rather sharply.
Another 2 former ME champions were eliminated; Jamie Gold & Joe Hachem, leaving 9 fighting on (Brunson, Chan, Harrington, Hellmuth, Johnson, McEvoy, Merson, Mortensen & Yang). Phil Ivey also made Day 3 but those who didn't include Dwan, Negreanu, Mercier, footballer Gerard Piqué and ice hockey player Roberto Luongo.
Full Day 2C chipcounts and Day 3 table draws are still not up unfortunately, so I can't bring you I8PALACE's table draw.
