Viva Las Vegas - let's go. News, updates & goss about our qualifiers.

Tikay10

Tim has gone back over 300,000, he has around 310,000.
 
I imagine he will keep fairly quiet for the remainder of today, & come back refreshed tomorrow. It's been 2 very long days.

About 159 left, just entering Level 20. Next payjump at 153 for an extra $533. That should easily pay for an extra night in the hotel. WSOP have just reported that Davide Suriano flopped quads to get a double-up but subsequently received a one-round penalty for failing to regard several warnings about using his phone at the table during a hand. Sounds pretty lenient to me. Andy Black among the most recent batch of players to be busted.

You are right, Suriano was downright insolent, & I would have given him far more than a 1 orbit penalty, he had been warned countless times.

Andy Black's exit was a tad unfortunate in a way. He had blinded down to 70,000 & jammed with 6-7, only to get accommodated by A-K. 

The door was a 7, & Andy's face lit up, it came 7-2-J, only to be followed by perfect perfect Q-10 for the A-K to prevail.

Here's Tim at the last break.

The Sky Poker marketing Dept might just have to offer him a job.......

Just wanted to say well done to Lee Rogers for winning the seat, holding his own in the tourney and getting as far as he did. Nice one!

Play for Day Two has ended.

Tim bagged up approx. 280,000 chips, & around 125 remain.

Great effort.

Play resumes @ 2pm tomorrow.

I'll be out filming on The Strip from mid-morning with Mr Ambo, but Sam will be here to bring you all Tim's action.

Goodnight all, & let's see some good vibes & messages for Tim, please.

Great effort so far Tim

Wow, totally crazy, you couldn't make it up.

Wishing Tim the very best of luck for Day 3.

FCHD

Haven't got a full end of day listing or table draw for Day 3 yet, but the brief summary on the WSOP site implies there are 130 left, with the chip leader Michael del Vecchio who broke the 7-figure mark on the very last hand of the night

Edit - they're now saying 128 left. Next pay jump is at 99, and they go up every 9 places from there.

Nice one Timmy, glgl for Day 3

FCHD

Day 3 table - Amazon 434

1 Alex Salabaschew (FRA) 210K
2 Michael Souza (USA) 100K
3 Rob Tepper (USA) 184K
4 Rocco Palumbo (ITA) 680K
5 Tim Rowlands (GBR) 283K
6 Jeffrey Gibralter (USA) 370K
7 Evgeni Turevski (RUS) 283K
8 Dariusz Beres (POL) 324K (the WSOP has Portugal but I'm 99.9% sure that's a mistake)
9 Daryl Oppelt (USA) 568K.

Tim lies in 70th place overnight.

Runitsrann is still in too, with a little over 400K.

The WSOP also erred when they said Del Vecchio was the chip leader, Venezuelan Jonathan Kamhazi is now showing as the boss with 1.238 million chips.

Lightwood

gl Timmy, hope the hot run good continues all the to the FT and you make a lifechanging cash

Some info for Tims table:

Seat 6 - Jeffery Gibralter: 3 cashes so far in this years WSOP.

Seat 8 - Dariusz Beres: Won a high roller event in Praque in May.

Seat 9 - Daryl Oppelt: Nothign of note.

Wp to all the Sky guys, and all the best to Timmy for the rest of this tournament.

Old man Jackson will need another holiday after this, can't expect a man of his years to play consecutive 12 hour days.

Janana

Wow what a run for TimmyRaRa! And a great event all round for the sky qualifiers, sounds like they all played well and had a great time so this has been a real success

Thanks for the hard work put in with the updates sky sam/tikay/dan so glad you get to do it all over again on day 3.

Big time railing this tonight then, let all the sky rungood be reserved for our man Tim, GOOD LUCK!

FCHD

Rob Tepper has cashed twice this series, he's been about for a while and has a couple of cashes in $25K high roller events, once at the PCA in January and once at the 2014 WSOP Mixed-Max event.

Great to hear Sky have still got a man standing - ATB Tim!

Knew Jac would be nailed on for at least a min cash when he was coming back for Day 3 needing to finish roughly in the top half of those left in. VWP him.

Fantastic effort by all the players and the excellent sky support team.
Great fun reading the updates and "living the dream " through fellow sky players.
Good luck to tim for today

tsarina

Well done to all the sky entrants, and such wonderful support by the skypoker team.  Very best of luck to Timmy for the rest of the tournament.   Our little late night sessions on the twenty pounds dyms will seem a little mundane after all this excitement!!

Finally got busted with my suited Q6 clubs.  Down to 9 bigs and AA looked me up.  Oh well, made up that I got as far as I did since it was my first time playing live. Just wanted to say thanks to Sky for this amazing opportunity to play in Vegas.  Everyone has been great and good luck to those that remain. PS Look out Stuaty117 and Wardstar84 I am coming back to the £3.30 DYMs!
