Best of luck to Stu, wouldn't it be great if Sky Poker had someone connected to it go really deep.
Keep the good work up
Nick
Think Paul Senter is 'Senterpied' (or similar) online, bit of a beast.
Griffin Benger highlights how Sharkscope isn't the be all and end all....Railed him ( playing as Flush entity) a while back when he was HU in the weekly special on another site (imagine if a guy called Victor wanted to bet....). About 15k up top, and he was getting a fair bit of abuse from randoms who couldn't believe that someone who was a significant amount down on the site could be playing for a big fat pay day.
Pretty sure the abusers didn't know who he was
Kyle Keranen is the new chip leader, the first player over 3 million.
No news on Stuart yet.
Only 232 have made it this far, and the good news as far as Channel 861 and SkyPoker.com is concerned is that the latest info we have on Stuart is that he has increased his stack to about 920K
Kyle Keranan has moved on to about 3.5 million as chip leader, but recent eliminations include high-stakes PLO specialist Ole Amundsgard, bracelet winner Farzad Bonyadi (who had been freerolling this due to him being last years bubble boy) and Kory Kilpatrick who won the shootout event earlier in the series. Preliminary readings of the players left indicate to me that John Kabbaj is therefore the last 2014 bracelet winner standing although I could have missed someone.
Mark Newhouse has approximately doubled his stack in his bid for back-to-back November Nines (I also can't see anyone else who has ever been on a WSOP ME final table left, whether November Nine or from before that era).
Leif Force, Mukul Pahuja & Brian Hastings all chipped up as well, as did one of the few female players left, Darlene Lee.
Edit - Stuart is now on the same table as the chip leader
Table 422
Kyle Keranen 3,525,000
Curtis Rystadt 1,200,000
Stuart Rutter 970,000
Adam Coats 870,000
Cristian Rotondo 710,000
Casey Stewart 560,000
Timur Margolin 500,000
Scott Blckman 351,000 (he actually has a further "A" in his name but the filter won't let me post that name!)
Joseph Lacarrubba 201,000
One player who's having a good level is Michigan's Jason Johnson. He's already made two final tables including the Millionaire Maker this series, and has chipped up to 1.1million.
I've also just noticed Vitaliy Lunkin still in - he won a bracelet in 2008 and a special 40th anniversary tournament in 2009, and has since been very successful in EPT weekends, winning the Super High Roller at Barcelona last August and and a side-event Turbo at the Grand Final in Monte Carlo two months ago.
Anyway, 7am update - good news!
127 or so still in, among them 7 Brits. Craig McCorkell & Lee Taylor each have about 2.6m, Iaren Lightbourne 2.1m, STUART RUTTER 1.3m, Gianfranco Visali, Paul Senter & Chris Sly all around the 900K mark. They are in the early stages of Level 24, 15K/30K with a 5K ante.
Stuart seems to have been moving with a pretty narrow range all the time I've been asleep, recorded chip counts for him over the last few hours vary from about 1m to 1.3m with no individual hands listed.
Bruno Politano proves that at least one Brazilian somewhere is doing OK as he now has the chip lead with over 6m, and it is Mark Newhouse in his quest for back-to-back November 9s who is closest to him in second with 4.9m
Steven Warburton bust in 182nd for $44728. Not long later John Kabbaj went out in 179th for the same amount, and in the next pay level ($52141) Jerome Bradpiece busted in 157th.
We've also lost Brian Hastings, Rep Porter, David Einhorn, Irishman Derek Murray and previous big stacks Andrew Liporace & Mehrdad Yousefzadeh.
Results are now showing 123 left, with current eliminations up to and including 100th place picking up $52141, then the payjumps start to come thick and fast with the returns increasing every 9 players.
Vladimir Bozinovic 3,625,000
Bryan Devonshire 2,900,000
Dan Sindelar 2,625,000
Brian Hastings 2,400,000
Aaron Kaiser 1,650,000
Christopher Greaves 1,320,000
Stuart Rutter 1,200,000
Bryan Shay 960,000
Casey Stewart 375,000
The best known of that lot must be Brian Hastings who took over $5million from "Isildur" in two controversial on-line sessions 5 years ago.
I think we still have 4 female players left (at least) - Maria Ho, Mikiyo Aoki (runner up in the ladies event), Darlene Lee and Marcia K untz (no sniggering at the back. Bet ESPN are hoping she disappears quietly and they don't have to keep mentioning her name!)
While I was typing the above, Darlene Lee has gone (113th) and so has one of the GB contingent, Christopher Sly. That means we are down to Nelson with 111 players still in contention
Great work Richard, thank you.
What a run by Stu, after being near felted several times early doors.
Your reports have been a delight, especially the "name plays".
Think today's favourite is.....
Gennady Shimelfarb
With the departure of Greg Himmelbrand in 100th place, the money jumps become more and more significant. The WPT player of the year Mukul Puhuja was also one of the recent departures (his brother Vinny also cashed yesterday). Himmelbrand's exit hand would have been shouted down as "rigged" had it happened online. He had AK, Robert Park had Queens and David Yingling pocket kings. The flop came down J-10-9, turn a 4 and river an 8 to give Park the straight.
91st-99th will win $61,313, there's an 11K jump for the 81st-90th players and another over $13K when you get to the next nine.
Trash talking Curtis Rystadt has gone in 99th and Mats Karlsson has gone as well, and Michael McGonnagal has just bust by running into quads.
I've been looking at Mr Lightbourne's first name - the WSOP are using Iaren, Hendon Mob are split between Iaran & Iaron! However, his twitter feed spells it as Iaron so that's what I'll be going with from here on.

Yikes, he was drawing thin there, with 3 of the Kings out.
Just imagine if it happened online......
Mark Newhouse is now the chip leader, retaking that position after knocking out Gianfranco Visalli. The Man of Kent was knocked out despite getting it all in with a dominating AK against last year's November Niner's KQ. The board had both a King and a Queen and Visalli's fate was sealed.
93 left.
87 left, $72K guaranteed so far.
Confirmed only 2 women left - Maria Ho and Mikiyo Aoki.
Thanks to FCHD for the updates - I am now home after three weeks in hospital and this thread was one of the main highlights of each day.
79 players remain, with the current payout line at $85K or so, which is almost double what Ryan received for making his final table a couple of weeks ago
Full update later on, out to get some fresh air (yes, curious concept to a poker player I know)
hope you're ok paul
Kyle Keranen has been near the top of the listings all day, and he ended up 2nd with 6.7m and Scott Palmer lies third with 6.6m.
Brazilian Bruno Politano held the lead for a while and now is top non-American in 4th, while best of the Euro contingent is Androni Larrabe in 5th.
It's promising to see 4 Brits still in at this late stage - two have good stacks (Iaron Lightbourne, 9th with 5m & Craig McCorkell 11th with 4.3m) and two have a below average stack (Paul Senter (the WSOP have now properly marked him as GB rather than Iran!) 57th with 1.35m and Stuart Rutter 65th with 1.1m). It could easily have been six as Gianfranco Visalli & Lee Taylor were both knocked out in the last 30 minutes of the day.
Also knocked out late on (very very late on) was Mikiyo Aoki. Her departure in 83rd meant that Maria Ho has, for the second time, earned the honoraty sobriquet of "last woman standing". Ho comes back with the shortest stack of all (435k, less than 11 BB).
Others of note still in
6th Dan Smith (5.4m) (not the singer with Bastille) who won a $2million prize in a super high roller at the Bellagio a fortnight ago, has 2 other 7 figure scores on his resumé plus a WPT and an EPT
10th Leif Force (4.7m) - 2012 bracelet winner
14th Martin Jacobsen (3.9m) - the Swede has been in the Top 30 seemingly from the start
24th William Pappaconstantinou (3.4m) - WSOP Chip listings are just showing him as "William"!
28th Isaac Baron (3m) - online player of the year in 2007
29th Brian Hastings (2.9m), best known for his controversial sessions with "Isildur1"
51st Daniel Wilson (1.6m) last Irishman standing
60th Garrett Greer (1.1m) - an accident left him with a broken neck and a quadriplegic
64th Vitaliy Lunkin (1m) - made Day 5 last year, gone one better so far this time around
70th David Yingling (0.7m) Sounds like an Olympic yachting class, but is having the time of his live - his previous total live cashes add up to $18K, he equalled that two days ago with a min cash and is still battling on.
Places 73-82 will all play $85K and change, with all the last 72 players guaranteed a 6-figure payday.
1 Andoni Larrable (ESP) 5.47m
2 Stuart Rutter (GBR) 1.07m
3 vacant
4 Henrick Kecklen (DEN) 1.67m
5 William Pappaconstantinou (USA) 3.37m
6 Pfizer Jordan (USA) 0.965m
7 Alexios Zervos (GRE) 1.38m
8 Scott Palmer (USA) 6.595m
9 Chanracy Khun (CAN) 1.445m
So, two of the Top 5 stacks, both to his right. Don't see him getting many unopened spots.
EXCELLENT THREAD MR FCHD, MUST TAKE A LOT OF YOUR TIME.
IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
All the best

now walking the talk
No news on Stuart yet, but one of the other GB players, Craig McCorkell has chipped up a little bit and Kyle Keranen has re-taken the chip lead.
75 Henrik Hecklen
76 Vadzim Markushevski
77 Maria Ho
78 Zachary Walker
79 Jason Leifer
74 Gabriel Paul
73 Anh Van Nguyen
72 Benjamin Gold
71 Kyle Bowker
70 players left, all will now recieve 6-figure paydays. Only Stuart update so far was at the break, when he was down to a smidgin under a million chips, looks like all he has lost was the blinds and antes
Kyle Keranen continues to build a stack, now over 10 million, with Scott Palmer at just over 8.
