Railing Ryan........
Ryan Spittles, aka scotty77, is very deep in the WPT Prague, & is in the money already, with a minimum of €9,000 locked up.
As far as I can see, he goes into today in 5th place of the remaining 22, after Kara Scott busted late last night.
This is the Table draw for today......
1 1 Julian Thomas 211,000
1 2 Andrey Shatilov 683,000
1 4 Andrea Benelli 276,000
1 5 Gintaras Simaitis 232,000
1 6 Mateusz Moolhuizen 250,000
1 7 Vasili Firsau 1,199,000
1 9 Chanracy Khun 384,000
2 1 Ognjen Sekularac 1,322,000
2 3 Daniel Laidlaw 238,000
2 4 Marc Etienne McLaughlin 468,000
2 6 Valeri Savov 451,000
2 7 Piotr Pietrzak 249,000
2 8 Roger Hairabedian 536,000
2 9 Emil Mattsson 295,000
3 1 Scott Augustine 651,000
3 2 Carla Solinas 205,000
3 3 Manuel Bevand 264,000
3 5 Ryan Spittles 480,000
3 6 Govert Metaal 336,000
3 8 Timur Margolin 196,000
3 9 Mickael Pages 291,000
Some of those names must be worth a fortune in Scrabble, & I can't say I've heard of too many, but good luck Ryan from all of us back home.

I believe there is a Live Update on the WPT site. I'm not sure if there is a Live Stream.
If any of you have the time & inclination, please help post Updates here on Sky Poker. We should NOT directly cut & paste stuff from other sites, but we can be sensible & use a little sensible licence to follow Ryan.
Amongst those Ryan busted yesterday, was Kevin MacPhee, who is always a happy chappie, of course.
Kara Scott busted 22nd I gather, so in fact there are 21 players left, not 22 as I stated earlier.
I can't currently find the Prize Money, but if anyone else can, please post it here.
Here's the man in action, this photo taken from the Official WPT Site.
Ooh, I found the payout structure, but I'm a little unclear on the quoted numbers, which are in $$$'s, & I'm pretty sure Ryan told me last night via Text that the prize pool is in Euros.
Today's play appears to be due to start at 1pm UK time.
No danger.
You are easily good enough to win this.
When you come back would you be interested in playing in the £2.20 @2.20.
All the best

Thanks Ryan.
Agree, Kara is a very special lady indeed, & has been a good friend to me. We worked together at PNL before Sky Poker, & again at Sky Poker, & it was a perfect privelege to work with her.
We meet up every year at the WSOP, & she introduced me to her Mum a few years ago, who is also very special.
I gather there were some "chunterers" who exited yesterday, & I saw some interesting exchanges on Twitter. I assume Kevin is not a huge fan of The Camel.
Anyway, hope you feel better, & go get the job done, you are overdue a big win.
It only seems 5 minutes since your first big Final Table, the GUKPT @ Walsall, as part of Team Sky Poker. I well remember how painful that was for you, but it's part of the learning experience which readies us for the big moment. I hope that big moment is today.
You had a huge Online bink earlier this year, (the one which Dooobsy won with you 2nd)) now time for you to go one better.
1 1 Julian Thomas 211,000 - ~$180k in career earnings.
1 2 Andrey Shatilov 683,000 - ~$830k earnings, has closed out a couple of wins, best $325k.
1 4 Andrea Benelli 276,000 - well thought of Italian pro, $930k earnings. 4th EPT Deauville 2009
1 5 Gintaras Simaitis 232,000 - ~$120k earnings, no major wins or cashes.
1 6 Mateusz Moolhuizen 250,000 - $450k earnings, best single cash - Unibet Malta Open win 2011 for $110k
1 7 Vasili Firsau 1,199,000 - runner up at WPT Paris, $500k career earnings to date.
1 9 Chanracy Khun 384,000 - WPT Barcelona winner for $230k. @ChanMax123 on Twitter.
2 1 Ognjen Sekularac 1,322,000 ~$1m career, looks very solid. Won a £5k 6-max in London this year so should be v. dangerous short handed.
2 3 Daniel Laidlaw 238,000 - ~$550k earnings. Aussie pro who has numerous cashes, no huge scores though.
2 4 Marc Etienne McLaughlin 468,000 - WSOP Main 6th place this year for $1.6m.
2 6 Valeri Savov 451,000 - ~$120k earnings, no major scores.
2 7 Piotr Pietrzak 249,000 - a handful of small cashes, nothing too scary here.
2 8 Roger Hairabedian 536,000 - looks a real threat. 2 WSOPE bracelets and some very solid results in a mix of game types. Could be the French-Morrocan Tony Kendall. Beat Eric Seidel heads-up for one of those bracelets.
2 9 Emil Mattsson 295,000 - ~$120k, half a dozen small cashes. Not as good as that bloke ^
3 1 Scott Augustine 651,000 - looks very handy. Cardrunnners instructor, @Mr_Hoes on Twitter. Goes by 'iRock' online. No huge live scores that I can find, plays NL1000 online.
3 2 Carla Solinas 205,000 - Italian pro, table eye-candy, $350k in cashes means she can definitely play though.
3 3 Manuel Bevand 264,000 - $700k live winnings, best single win $110k for 5th in a PLH WSOP event. Pretty bloody good at Magic: The Gathering, where he was a pro for 10 years.
3 5 Ryan Spittles 480,000 - legend.
3 6 Govert Metaal 336,000 - $1.5m career, looks like a solid Italian middle-age player, if such a thing is fathomable.
3 8 Timur Margolin 196,000 - table rookie. No major cashes to mention.
3 9 Mickael Pages 291,000 - couldn't find much on this one.
Wow, good work Blandy.

PokerNoon - It's like any tournament really, you can buy in direct if you want for €3300 or you can satellite in. There will probably be many steps so you could buy in direct to like a €400 satellite where 1in10 get a seat, or maybe a €40 (1in10) into that €400 to then try to win that 1in10 for a seat etc. There'll probably be sats from as low as a tenner and under but it isn't easy getting in from that far.
Goods news and good thread, made even more interesting (for me anyway) with the background checks from Dave.
I'll be lurking and loitering on this thread until Ryan reaches his natural conclusion in the event.
Good Luck Ryan!
What? Your opponent didn't river the 3rd Q? Oh its not Skypoker is it lol.
