a year ago he called me "retarded" in the chatbox which is completely unacceptable. i have heard presenters on 861 talk well of him yet probably unaware of his manner with other skypoker players.
thanks for the updates, fchd, excellent as always
With a segregated field (those from Day 1A played together in the Amazon room, while those from 1B played in the Brasilia & Pavilion rooms) we have some large stacks emerging as those players left are more than halfway to the money.
Tim Stansifer has the most chips with 481K which is a fair lead over nearest challengers Joe Kuether and Tom Cannuli who both have a smidgin over 400K.
Three former winners progressed - Huck Seed, Chris Moneymaker and the Reigining champ Ryan Riess but 2012 winner Greg Merson was among those who couldn't gather chips and had to leave the floor early.
Still in - Antonio Esfandiari, Ole Schemion, Faraz Jaka, Allan Cunningham, Erik Seidel, Marvin Rettenmainer etc. together with a number of Brits, of whom Tom Middleton is the best placed, in 36th overall. He is joined by 2014 bracelet winner John Kabbaj, Ben Warrington, Alex Jennings, Patryk Slusarek, Matt Ashton, Lee Taylor, Duncan McLellan, Timothy Flanders, Ian Simpon, Teymour Sabet,Jon Spinks, Brian Johnson, Alberto Gomez, Trevor Reardon, Jamie Roberts, Tore Lukashaugen, Rickie Vedhara, Tim Davie, Chiraag Thanki, Ben Jackson (son of...), Paul vas Nunes, John Conroy, Trevor Whiteway, Robin Fisher, Charles Coombs, Philip Long, John Eames, Oliver Price, Andrew Teng, David Vamplew, Salman Bahbehani and Daniel Bland who are all marked as "GB" even if one or two of them aren't British.
Some of those who aren't so lucky - last year's November Niner Michiel Brummelhuis, Annette Obrestad, Mike Sexton, perpetual WSOP ME casher Dennis Phillips and the two main Player Of The Year Candidates Brandon Shack-Harris & George Danzer.
And, it looks very much like lovejunky has joined the ranks of the fallen, as I can't see him on the list of names who will it down on Day 3.
822 players have made it through from Day 2AB, they will be joined by about 1250 I guess from Day2C to play Day 3 where they will get near the bubble with 693 places to be paid. The min-cash is down to $18406 as about a grand per player has been siphoned off to ensure the first prize is the guaranteed $10million.
gl ian simpson.... monster
On the other stuff, glad you're moving on from that. I think as we grow older most people look back on things said and done and think to themselves 'Why did I do that?' I know I have. Glad to hear it's helping with results.
Best of luck again man!
P.S. FCHD, great thread as always man!
Both Redmond & Stuart appear to have had good days so far, according to the latest chip counts I've seen (disclaimer - which may be quite out of date!) Redmond Lee may well be top Brit at this time with 210K, with Stuart Rutter not far behind with 168K.
Ryan Spittles according to his twitter has been up and down within a pretty narrow range but at the last post he had 60K.
Phil Ivey is the Day 2C leader as of now with a stack of 480K.
Phil Hellmuth's quest for his 14th bracelet will have to wait as he was knocked out in the last half hour.
Ivey over half a million.
Living the dream for us mere mortals
Good luck guys
Nick
Redmond has 186K, Ryan 110K or so. Neither of t hem have been drawn with any huge stack, or any of the biggest names - Redmond sitting with Maria Ho about the most well known.
All 3 analysts who started the day have safely navigated the 10 hours of play and will move forward to Day 3 all with decent stacks.
Redmond Lee has 187K, Ryan Spittles has 110K and has been mentioned elsehwere, Stuart Rutter has bagged 199K even if he does not appear in the overnight listings.
They're all chasing Phil Ivey though. The superstar has just over half a million chips and leads EPT regular Raul Mestre from Spain and Morgan Popham who is in third.
A little over a thousand players have made it through Day 3 with as expected a reasonable number of "GB" tags in the listings. Jonathan McCann is in 28th from this flight, Fraser McIntyre 46th an Iaren Lightbourne just outside the Top 100. Other Brits include Christopher Sly, Rob Akery, Andrew Hulme, Louis Salter, Sunny Chattha, Paul Ephremsen, Niall Farrell, Derek Chisholm, Paul Otto, Oliver Morgan, Craig McCorkell, Darren Hill, Charles Clark, Jake Cody, John Shipley, Danny Blair, Lai Shan Cheung, Andrew Fleming, Stephen Rawle, Tim Hickling, Carles Escobedo, Beka Iordanishvili, Pablo Fernandez, Rhys Jones, Alexander Elias, Jerome Bradpiece, Steven Warburton and 3 with very small stacks (Joshua Green, Goswin Siemsen & Daniel McAuley)
Some other notables looking for the $10million first prize are Daniel Alaei, John Juanda, Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu and NBA all-star Paul Pierce.
Phil Hellmuth bust, along with other former Main Event winners Joe Cada, Berry Johnston, Joe Hacem & Scotty Nguyen along with last year's November Niner JC Tran, One Drop winner Daniel Colman, Marcel Luske, David Benyamine & Jennifer Harman.
As I write this, we're on the last level of the day with just over 100 players to be knocked out before the money.
So far today we've lost (in addition to Ryan) Jake Cody & Matthew Ashton, reigning Champion Ryan Riess, other former winners Chris Moneymaker, Robert Varkonyi & Johnny Chan, german hot shot duo Ole Schemion & Marvin Rettenmainer, Erik Seidel, Ted Forrest, McLean Karr, Barry Greenstein, Olympic gold medallist Fatima Moreira de Melo, basketball legend Paul Pierce, and very early on the duo of Daniel Negreanu & Humberto Brenes
Phil Ivey's stack has dipped a bit, and he's dropped to the middle of the stack, two to his left is the new chip leader Mehrdad Yousefzadeh who is one of only two players with more than a million chips. Louis Salter & John Kabaaj appear to be top GB players (Salter has just been credited with 850K) but unless players appear in direct reports, it is difficult to assess just how old these chip counts are.
Looks like Stu Rutter has 100,000.
yes, 100k for stu noted on the wsop site but no mention at all of redmond. there are half a dozen missing player totals from the list and reds isnt noted with zero chips.
Stu has now confirmed elsewhere that he has 100,000.
He began with 199,500, but was down to 38,000 very early, later to recover.
The hand that caused all the damage was Stu with J-J againat an Italian Gentleman who had Q-Q, & the board ran out 9 high, so quite a tricky spot.
Day 3 was ended early so that ESPN (who are only covering it properly from Day 4 this year) could see the money bubble burst.
Andrew Liporace took the overall lead late on, along with previous leader Mehrdad Yousefzadeh we have only two players over a million chips.
Louis Salter is indeed top Brit overnight in 15th place, with John Kabbaj also over 3/4 of a million.
A full list of players marked "GB" still in other than those above
Jonathan McCann, Ben Warrington, Christopher Sly, Lee Taylor, Tore Lukashaugen, Carlos Escobedo, Niall Farrell
Danny Blair, Ian Simpson, Alfie Adam, Steven Warburton, Tim Hickling, Craig McCorkell, Jerome Bradpiece
Pablo Fernandez, Darren Hill, John Eames, Rickie Vedhara, Iaren Lightbourne, Stuart Rutter, Trevor Whiteway, Derek Chisholm, Fraser McIntyre, Andrew Hulme, Alberto Gomez &] Alex Jennings
745 will come back to play for the cash.
693 will cash and a couple of interesting stories developing.
The first one revolves around Ronnie Bardah. No one has ever cashed in 5 successive main events, Bardah has cashed in each of the last 4 years and if he survives the next 23 players he will set the record, but he's lost half his stack to Eric Cloutier already today.
Phil Ivey will of course always be a story, and he's still going strong, albeit taking a dip in Day 3.
There's never been a repeat November niner, whether in successive years or not, and of course Ivey fits the second half of that bill. If we're to have a two-straight niner, it's now down to Mark Newhouse who has slid through the field almost impercetibly and building a middling stack entering Day 4.
And, hot off the presses, the last former ME champ has gone. Huck Seed has just gone at the hands of Dan Smith.
Can't be more than a few minutes to the bubble. Hang on in there Stu.
Ronnie Bardah (see above) has just hit a double up to make his bid for the record a little bit more secure.
One player with a 16 BB stack has just been issued with a one-orbit penalty. If he's here to cash, it might be the best penalty he'll ever serve.
Fraser McIntyre
Andrew Hulme
Alex Jennings
Alberto Gomez
Looks like Gianfranco Vasalli from Ramsgate can be added to the GB survivors though, unless there is a Ramsgate in Gabon.
Hand 1.
Stuart Rutter (yes that Stuart Rutter) goes all in with A-J on a jack-high flop and is called by Daniel Alaei with J-9. Action is paused.
Hand 2
Mark Newhouse (see above) makes quads to eliminate John Dwyer who had (only!) a full house, meaning the bubble has burst but play continues to see if anyone else busts out on the hand-for-hand hands
Hand 3
Zhen Cai shoves with Queens, get called with Aces and Zhen is gone
Hand 4
Kori Hunter shoved with aces, called with 9-8 by Harry Kaczka, a flop of Q-8-7 gives Kazcka a pair and a 9 on the river gave him two pair and busted Hunter's aces
Hand 5
Paul Tedeschi was another player to go all in with Aces, called by Queens of Arthur Morris. A flop of 7-3-9 with two diamonds gave Morris runner-runner outs but hearts on the turn and river saw Tedeschi survive and double up.
Meanwhile the Rutter/Alaei hand was still on pause.
When everyone finally got over there, two bricks on the turn and river meant the Sky analyst doubled up through Alaei and made the cash! Stu now has 174K.
Zhen, Hunter & Dwyer split the 693rd placed 18K prize money, but there is a free Main Event seat for the official bubble boy so they drew cards for it and Zhen Cai was the lucky(-ish) player
Since then, Craig McCorkell has had a much needed double-up to take him to over 200K
He has made a record fifth-successive Main Event cash, and he's since knocked out Eric Cloutier to increase his stack.
Just over 300 players remain, all of which are guaranteed a minimum of $33K, with a pay jump to $38K not far away.
One player who isn't in the event any more is Phil Ivey, falling to recent bracelet winner John Kabbaj in 430th place.
i am delighted that stuart rutter continues and improves by the hour.
i have chatted to stuart on a few occasions and know that he is the sort of bloke you would aspire to be more like. you know; taller, thinner, less bald, better pokerist, younger, richer, genuinely nice and still in the wsop main event. otherwise he has nothing going for him.
good luck stuart.
Glad to say that one of those players is Sky Channel 861 analyst Stuart Rutter. And it could have been oh so different. On the pure cash bubble, with play at hand-for-hand, five players were all in and needing to win the hand to meet the first objective, making the cash.
Stuart got it all in with AJ on a Jack-high flop against the J9 of Daniel Alaei and after what must have been an age waiting for all the ESPN management of filiming all 5 hands in sequence, Stuart's hand held up (unlike 3 of the other 4) and just like that 690-odd players were able to celebrate making at least an $8K profit on their $10K entry fee.
Matthew Haugen has chipped up to have a stack approaching 3 million with another little-known player Zach Giganti in 2nd and the more experienced Canadian Griffin Benger in third.
Brits still in contention are led by 2014 bracelet winner John Kabaaj, who had earlier eliminated Phil Ivey. In order, the others from "over here" that bagged up chips over night are Craig McCorkell, Lee Taylor, Stuart Rutter, Gianfranco Vassali, Christopher Sly, Iaren Lightbourne, Steven Warburton, Jerome Bradpiece, Louis Salter & Jonathan McCann.
Brian Hastings & Leif Force are perhaps the biggest names of the bigger stacks. Mark Newhouse is going for back-to-back November Nines, Martin Jacobsen dropped a little in relative terms but is still in there fighting, along with Rep Porter, Mukul Puhuja, Maria Ho, Jeff Madsen & David Einhorn.
Of those who bowed out gracefully, Ivey I've already mentioned, Olivier Busquet, Daniel Alaei, Phil Galfond & Faraz Jaka are gone two and in almost the last hand of the evening Ian Simpson from Northumberland said bye-bye to the Main Event too.
Stuart's Day 5 table
1 Stuart Rutter (GBR) 692K
2 Ivan Radiv (ISR) 715K
3 Geoffrey Rasmussen (USA) 489K
4 Darlene Lee (CAN) 640K
5 Joseph Lacarrubba (USA) 247K
6 John Gorush (USA) 1057K
7 Huy Nguyen (USA) 157K
8 Juan Rodriguez (USA)
9 Pierre Canali (FRA) 587K
There may well be another Brit in, Paul Senter in 224th place with 313K chips
The delay between Stuart & Daniel Alaei getting it all in on the flop on the bubble and waiting for all the other bubble hands to play out was about 20 minutes!
Current payout level is still $33,734. Next two steps
226th-288th will receive $38,634
163th-225th will receive $44,728
Once we're down to 100 players the payjumps start to happen every 9 players and the amounts involved of course increase in bigger increments.
