I think we've had quite enough on this event for now, don't you?
WSOP41 - $5000 PLO 6-max - 400 entrants
23 left in, the WSOP show Salman Behbehani as still in for the British contingent, but he is actually an American. Steve Gross is the leader with Yevgeni Timoshenko & Sorel Mizzi the biggest "names" left along with a winner of an earlier event Trevor Pope. Peter Charalambous was best of the geniune Brits in 31st, just ahead of Rickie Vedhara.
WSOP42 - $1000 NLH - 2100 entrants
Already in the money with just 168 making it through Day 1. Matt Matros has held the chip lead virtually all day (looking for his fourth bracelet in as many years), with November Niner Jake Balsinger close behind. Neil Channing cashed but crashed out late on Day 1, as did Paul Foltyn. Conversely, both Sam Grafton & Niall Farrell are in good shape. Mike Ellis, Rory Matthews, Patrick Leonard, Michael Charlton & Darren Judges are all still there with stacks of various sizes, along with Dan Pickard ("Nosebleed") who is somehwere in the middle. Dan's got a really tough Day 2 table, including Grafton, former EPT Grand Final winner Isaac Baron, 5-time bracelet winner (including event 23) David Chiu and Victor Ramdin who has almost $4 million career cashes.
WSOP43 - $10,000 2-7 Lowball Draw No Limit - 87 entrants
A big-name pro heavy field of just 87 entered chasing a gold bracelet, and 55 of them pass on to Day 2 Calvin Anderson has the most chips of those 55, but a lot of people you have probably heard off in close contention, e.g. Layne Flack, Tom Scheinder, Phil Laak, Jeffrey Lisandro etc. along with one Stuart Rutter who is in 15th overnight with about an average stack. One name near the bottom of the chip counts that I have spotted for the first time this year is Johnny Chan. Stuart's day 2 table includes David "Bakes" Baker, Phil Galfond & defending champion Nick Schulman
To start today
WSOP44 - $3000 NLH
Excellent work FHCD - appreciate the updates
Great news on Ryan cashing for 15 big ones and unlucky you never went further - their will be a bracelet at some point mate.
Focus on the next event and keep playing poker!
Cheers

Jared Hamby took "Ryan's Bracelet" and over half a million dollars, beating fellow American Peter Hangsakul heads-up. It was a good event for the Latin Americans with players from Chile, Brazil & Argentina in the top 7. Kara Scott went out in 17th.

We're down to heads up between American Steve Gross, and American but with a Union Jack beside his name Salman Behbehani

11 make Day 3 with a Brit in the lead! Rory Matthews from Edinburgh has the lead from Hungarian Norbert Szecsi. Londoner Mike Ellis cashed in 20th, "Nosebleed" Dan Pickard 57th, Sam Grafton 62nd, MIchael Charlton 85th, Niall Farrell 105th, Patrick Leonard 106th and Andrew Hills 143rd (for lower UK cashes see yesterday's report)
WSOP43 - $10,000 2-7 Lowball Draw No Limit - 87 entrants
Still playing with 8 remaining, unfortunately Stu Rutter not amongst them. Hopefully do an update on this one later on.
WSOP44 - $3000 NLH - 1072 entrants
This one has ended for the night with Zo Karim the chip leader. Dan Kelly, who has made 2 final tables already is close behind in 3rd and Paul Foltyn from Doncaster 8th. Other Brits - Ian Simpson 25th, Mark Teltshcer 30th, recent channel 861 guest Simon Deadman 49th, and a half-dozen or so further down including David Vamplew & Matt Perrins who both have small stacks.
To start today
WSOP45 - $1500 Ante only Hold'em
WSOP46 - $3000 PLO High-Low 8 or better
To tidy up those events that were still in play:
WSOP40
Local Steve Gross, a well known on-line winner, got the better of Salman Behbehani after a 40+ hands heads up battle. For an Omaha hand, the eventual winning hand of a pair of sevens was pretty low
WSOP43
Day 2 ended with a final table of seven, who have 16 bracelets between them. Layne Flack (who has 6 of the 16) is the chip leader. And I can confirm there were no UK cashers in this event.
Many congrats to Ryan, what a wonderful effort by him.
A quick mention for FCHD, to thank him for all the hard work & enthusism he puts into these updates.
It's a bracelet for Hungary as Norbert Szecsi took it down for the land of the Magyars. He beat Denis Gnidash heads up after playing a final table that was done and dusted in 5 hours. Rory Matthews couldn't make the most of his overnight chip lead and ended up in 5th place, still one of the best GB results this series.
WSOP43 - $10,000 2-7 Lowball Draw No Limit - 87 entrants
With all the bracelet holders on the final table, it was perhaps a little bit of a surprise that Jesse Martin was the one to walk away victorious at the end of the day. He beat the 2010 winner of this event David "Bakes" Baker to win first place and prize money of just over a quarter of a million dollars.
WSOP44 - $3000 NLH - 1072 entrants
Still in play with 23 players remaining. Jason Mercier one of those with above average stack. Further update to follow at close of Day 2.
WSOP45 - $1500 Ante only Hold'em - 678 entrants
The WSOP called it a night as the bubble burst to leave 71 players standing in this still new form of the game. For the second day running we have a Brit as chip leader in one of the events as Chris Moorman has a decent lead (145K to his nearest challenger's 118K). Several other Brits in including a few "names" - David Vamplew (31st), Rhys Jones (35th), Barny Boatman (45th), Andrew Hills (49th) & Neil Channing (63rd).
WSOP46 - $3000 PLO High-Low 8 or better - 435 entrants
Again, still playing so I'll leave this one to later
To start today
WSOP47 - $111,111 NLH for One Drop
WSOP48 - $2500 Limit Hold'em 6 max
Thanks Maxally
Update on the two events
WSOP44 - $3000 NLH - 1072 entrants
Three Brits in the final 22, with two of them in very good shape - Niall Farrell (1st) & Mark Teltscher (3rd). The third player is Ian Simpson who has the third lowest stack of those coming back for Day 3. Several UK cashes so far - Paul Foltyn (35th), Gary Pearce (48th), Simon Deadman (64th), Stephen Chidwick (71st), Andrew Hulme (72nd) & Sunny Chattha (77th).
As Maxally mentions, Jason Mercier is currently 8th, I believe he has a large number of side bets of 3-1 about him winning a bracelet this summer.
WSOP46 - $3000 PLO High-Low 8 or better - 435 entrants

Morning all, & thank you for the virtual mini-rail, & to FCHD for today's table Draw.
The guy to my immediate left today, Robert Price, is a "poker friend" of many years standing. Without exaggaration, we must have shared tables in a dozen or more 12 PLO8 Tournaments in Vegas last year & this, he & I both play the Vegas PLO8 "mini-circuit" which consists of a really odd bunch of misfits & eccentrics. He is VERY aggro, sometimes overly so.
I don't actually recall sharing a Final Table with him though.
He also went deep in the WSOP $1,500 PLO8 in which I cashed last year. There is a photo of him in ony of my Vegas Blogs LAST year, he was wearing an England shirt, whilst we were playing PLO8 @ Binions or wherever, & simultaneously watching England on the plasma screen during the World Cup, or Euro12, or whatever it was.
He will be a right pain to me today, as he has position, is seriously aggro, & has a VERY wide & creative range, & is not afraid to make very thin calls.
Part of me wishes him well today, he is a lovely fella, & part of me wishes he implodes by being over aggressive, as he usually does. I'm sure you can understand my mixed feelings.
He is from Cornwall, & so has hundreds of cousins & nieces, if you get my drift.
How does he manage his cards/chips with so many thumbs? ;-)
Ha!
Vespa got my drift.
All in jest of course, & Robert would expect nothing less, we have fantastic banter at the Tables, & I like him very much. Still, he is from Cornwall......
There IS another Sky Poker regular still in this, too, one "doobs".
He is a good close friend of mine in another life, so to speak.
He showed great faith & optimism in me last year by insisting on buying 20% of my action in the 2012 WSOP PLO8, an investment which paid off surprisingly but handsomely for him.
He has shown similar faith this year & has 10% of my action in this.
As it happen, I have, I think (can't recall the exact numbers) 12.5% of his action in this event, so I would LOVE him to have a deep run!
He has 29,300 chips, & he knows EXACTLY how to use them, being one of the most intelligent poker players I have ever met. He is, by profession, an Actuary.
This guy has a REAL chance in this today, he really has. Good luck doobsy.
Best of luck today Tony, will be following the updates as long as I can.
Many thanks to FCHD for the awesome effort put into this thread, keeping us in the loop.
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Tikay just got a nice double up vs the tournament chip leader. No idea how the betting went but I imagine it was in pretty quicksmart.
Our man had the lovely Ad As 4s 2c against Tedeschi's Ac Kc 10s 2d
Flop of 7s Qs 10d so now having to dodge a non spade 10/J/K to avoid going behind. The 8s gives the nut flush and now just needing to dodge all sixes, fives, fours and threes to avoid chopping a low pot (and therefore a quarter of total pot), a mericifull Qh comes and thats how you double up, well done mr kendall
Was on 38k after that, still a while until the cash spots, 45 cash, 108 left, very approx 37th place for the great great godfather of sky poker
Excellent ! GL TK
