Blinds 10K/20K with a 3K ante
There's half hour delay though on live feed
CARDS UP IN 15 MINUTES
Great result regardless, enjoy the monies!
Cheers for updates Julian, every other 'official' source is useless/way behind/not even working.

A fantastic effort by Ryan, unfortunately he couldn't do the ultimate and win the bracelet, but he did make the FT and finished in 8th spot for over $45K.
It didn't take long to move from 15 players to a FT, but the other two Brits in the field were eliminated one after each other in 13th and 12th leaving Scott77 to carry the Union Flag on his own.
He managed one laddering on the FT, but eventually bust when he got it all in with 10s against AQ only to see a Queen fall.
Nine handed play to a heads up situation was done in under 80 hands, but when it got down to just Jordan Morgan & Evan McNiff, things slowed down. 197 hands of 2 handed play were unable to separate them and they agreed to call it a night after 6 hours of to-ing and fro-ing and will come back tomorrow to finish the job off with pretty even stacks.

A round dozen come back for Day 3 led by Angela Prada-Moed who won a stack of chips in a hand with Pocket Kings against AK which did not improve.
With a lady on top, Loren Klein who sounds like another lady but is not lies in 2nd place and Ivan Saul of Argentina in 3rd.
No Brits remain, Antony Hallam finishing highest in 27th place, with cashes lower down for Tim Davie, Callum Morgan, Tim Alofs, Tom Arrington and Sunny Chattha
Updates on Day 2 of the PPC and Day 1 of the Ante-only will have to wait for later, I've started a new job today and am researching and putting this together on lunch break!
WSOP46 - $50,000 Poker Player's Championship - 102 entrants
17 late registrants on Day 2 managed to get the field into 3 figures for a total prize pool of nearly $4.9m with the winner taking home just over a million and a half dollars.
More or less half the field have made Day 3, and it's Jason Mercier who is in pole position, just ahead of former ME winner Jonathan Duhamel and Shaun Deeb.
Elior Sion is the best placed of the Brits in 15th, with Richard Ashby & Stephen Chidwick inside the Top 30 and Talal Shakerchi still survives but with a very small stack.
Talking of small stacks, the smallest of small stacks belongs to the biggest of big names, the legend Doyle Brunson who entered at the last minute.
His son Todd is still in, as are the likes of Eli Elezra, David Benyamine, John Juanda, Elky & Phil Ivey plus 4 2014 bracelet winners (Robert Mizrachi, Calvin Anderson, Brandon Shack-Harris & Brock Parker
David Bach is the only previous winner left, as Day 2 saw Matthew Ashton go out along with Scotty Nguyen, Michael Mizrachi & Brian Rast
WSOP47 - $1,500 Ante-only NLH - 714 entrants
A 5% increase in numbers for the ante-only, and a fast and furious day saw just 80 of them make the overnight halt.
Resuming on Day 2 with the chip lead will be Ryan D'Angelo, with Dan Kelly who won a bracelet a couple of days ago close behind.
Max Silver seems to have been everywhere in the last week (the new Chidwick) and is in 11th, with Jonas Lauck 18th, Rhys Jones 24th, Demis Hassibis 66th & Jake Cody 76th
Some who busted the PPC entered this late and still have chips - the likes of Jason Somerville, Daniel Negreanu & George Danzer for instance.
To Start Today
WSOP48 - $1,500 PLO High-Low
Only 3 events in play, but plenty of interest.
WSOP46 - $50,000 Poker Player's Championship - 102 entrants
22 players have got through Day 3 and head into the penultimate day (we still haven't even made the money yet)
Abe Mosseri has the lead with 1.7m chips, quite a way ahead of second placed Brandon Shack-Harris.
Matt Glantz lies 3rd, with big names all around - Robert Mizrachi 4th, Frank Kassela 5th & Scott Siever 6th.
Also in touch is young high-stakes cash game London pro Elior Sion who has 800K which is above average, but Talal Shakerchi, Richard Ashby & Stephen Chidwick all busted.
WSOP47 - $1,500 Ante-only NLH - 714 entrants
Nine players left, so we're at a final table and we have British interest. Torbay's Rhys Jones enteres the final with 187K chips, good enough for 7th place.
The WSOP are also showing Jonas Lauck as from GB but Hendon Mob have him as German with not a single cash in the UK, so I'm assuming he's not British.
Five of the nine have WSOP (or WSOPE) Final table experience, with Simeon Naydenov the only Bracelet-holder.
Ryan D'Angelo holds the top spot overnight, ahead of Naydenov & Lauck.
WSOP48 - $1,500 PLO High-Low - 991 entrants
Another tourney with a small increase in year-on-year entries, just shy of a thousand players with Cale Maclean leading overnight, with 30% more chips than anyone else.
Yueqi Zhu would be a nightmare Scrabble hand (of course if you've got 8 Scrabble tiles in your hand, you're cheating) and London PLO specialist Sonny Osman sits in third.
Other players with decent stacks include Jeff Madsen, Bryan Campanello, Loren Klein, Joe Hachem & John Cernuto with a reasonable number of Brits still in too
As well as Osman (see above), Richard Gryko & Phillip Sternheimer sit inside the top 20, Roberto Romanello and Francis Lincoln are in the top 50 with Paul Jackson, Glen Altham, Bjorn Verbakel & Robert Morley returning for Day 2 as well.
And, lying in 145th of 152, is one Anthony Kendall. Of Calgary, Alberta, Canada allegedly. Has our Tikay had a transfer to CBC? Does he speak with a Canadian accent? Have the WSOP messed things up again? All these questions and many more will be answered on tomorrow's episode.
When he comes back he'll have 6500 chips at 600-1200, so just over 5 bigs so our man is about within his comfort zone.
Day 2 Table
1 Jiaqi Xu (USA) 17,300
2 Jyri Merivairta (FIN) 21,900
3 Anthony Kendall (CAN or GBR, take your pick.) 6,500
4 Dmitrii Valouev (USA) 88,900
5 Gary Kosakowski (USA) 39,300
6 Marc Durand (USA) 64,500
7 Anout Phimmasone (USA) 39,600
8 Allan Le (USA) 66,300
9 Tom Schneider (USA) 60,100
Seat 9 is obviously the big name, with 4 bracelts under his belt (including both the $1500 & $5000 HORSE events last year) and was WSOP Player Of The Year in 2007
To Start Today
WSOP49 - $5,000 NLH
WSOP50 - $1,500 Eight-game mix
6,500 chips, isn't that a simple decimal point error?

Kendall's Aces Cracked
ohwwwwwwwww
Not sure that was my exact hand, the mind goes a bit blurry in these spots, but my hand was deffo A-A-2-x, am pretty sure the "x" was a 7, but it may have been a 9.
Think the other lad had Q-10-9-7, it was a standard late positon steal, attacking a super-short SB (me) & a super-big-stacked BB who had not yet turned up, so he did the correct thing.
I had some "investors" who took some of my action, & this is the brief report of my Exit I gave them......
"Boom!
Found DS Aces for the first time all tourney in my Small Blind, and geezer in the cut off makes it 2,500.
I have the delicious A-A-2-7, double suited.
Life don't get better, and in they go.
He dwells, is obviously at it, before saying "I have nothing but I have to call I guess".
He has Q-10-9-7, no suits.
Flop comes 10-9-7, lol, which makes it kinda tough to win the high.
Turn brings fresh hope of a chop, as it was a 5.
River was a deuce, my low is counterfeited, and that was that.
Little bit of run bad there, but when we get chronically low-stacked, we can't complain.
Off to have a bit of a sulk now, accompanied by a super size sticky bun......"
I think you know you have the full support of an awful lot of people "back home" and the tide will turn.
Looking forward to the next read and remember the plo8 gang are all waiting the return of the king where you can recoup any small losses

Four days have been completed and we're down to 8 players, so an unofficial final table.
Previous bracelet winner and Player of the Year challenger Brandon Shack-Harris is top of the shop overnight.
Abe Mosseri is 2nd and has allegedly won a huge amount in side bets for getting this far, with Frank Kassela & John Hennigan close behind.
Chun Lei Zhou from Macau is the only non-American left, and in 7th is Melissa Burr who has become the first female player to cash in this event.
WSOP47 - $1,500 Ante-only NLH - 714 entrants
Tantalisingly close to another British bracelet as Rhys Jones from Fareham (not Torbay as I said yesterday) finished third for a score of over $85K, with the bracelet going to Jesse McEuen from Florida, who will also take home over $212K.
WSOP48 - $1,500 PLO High-Low - 991 entrants
And talking of tantalisingly close, Tikay unfortunately bust just before the cash early on day 2 of Event 48.
Once the bubble burst, eliminations came thick and fast and at the end of the Day we have just 11 players remaining, with Philip Sternheimer, who appears to be an American based in London the short stack.
Scott Clements is top dog, ahead of Jeff Madsen with the dangerous Tom Schneider (who was on Tikay's table) in 8th.
GB players who did cash - Richard Gryko (26th), Roberto Romanello (37th), Francis Lincoln (52nd), Glen Altham (56th), Soner Osman (80th), Paul Jackson (83th) & Magnus Martin (85th)
