And that's it from me for tonight, work tomorrow means I've got to get a few hours of shuteye.
Hope when I wake up again Tikay is still in and we're still going to members of the EU.
Night all
BUSTO.
I exited in 36th place, for a pleasing $4,910.
Really appreciated the Rail, & kind comments, thank you all very much.
If we can have this much fun with one player, imagine the fun we might have with 45 Sky Poker Qualifiers if a few run deep, plus of course Captain Channing.
Special thanks to Barny, his Updates really are top rate, well researched, & with that lovely bit of added humour.
Barny's alias - FCHD - comes from his own Football Stats Website, which is a real treasure trove. You can help repay him by taking a look, & maybe giving him some feedback.

I see one Daniel Negreanu busted just two spots later, and therefore earned the same for his two days work as you did.
As I write this, 20 are left including Jeffrey Duval so let's hope he can keep on keeping on and make the Final Table.
It's a top-class heads-up match up for the Summer Solstice event, that even 4 day wasn't enough to complete.
Koray Aldemir has a marginal chip lead over former WSOP-E ME winner Adrian Matéos.
David Tovar was last British player, making the FT but exiting in 9th while Chris Moorman busted 13th.
WSOP35 - $5K 6-Max NLH, Day 3 of 3, 541 entrants
Only two Belgians have ever won WSOP bracelets, and they've now won 3 each as Michael Gathy picked up his third beating Frenchan Adrian Allian in another all-Euro heads-up finale.
This finished very shortly after Event 36 (see below) and another French player coming up just short.
Gathy won $448K, Allain $346K. It is also Allain's third runner-up finish in WSOP events.
Again we had a British player on the FT (Scott Margereson who ended up 5th), plus Christian Christner who was the first player out on Day 3 being ranked 21st.
WSOP36 - $2500 Mixed Omaha/7 Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or better, Day 2 of 3, 384 entrants
Chalk one up for the USA as Hani Awad won his heads-up duel with Frenchman Fabrice Soulier after a couple of hours of play.
65-year old Awad, a high stakes recreational player, was the runner-up in the corresponding event in 2015 but went one better this time around.
4th place Denny Axel first cashed at the WSOP as long ago as 1991, well before some of the players in the event were even born.
Jason Mercier just failed to make yet another final table, busting in 11th.
WSOP37 - $1500 PLO, Day 2 of 3, 776 entrants
Tikay's journey has already been covered in detail, but for the record we have 16 players left.
Tommy Le, who was on Tikay's table at the start of the day, is the chip leader ahead of two Nordic players, Jon Ho Christiansen and Henri Koivanto
Jeff Duval is the sole British player left, in 13th spot
Keith Johnson finished 27th for $5880, and Toby Lewis 78th for $2600. I guess Toby isn't the number one poker player in Southampton any more.
WSOP38 - $3K 6-Max Limit Hold'em, Day 2 of 3, 245 entrants
Only 8 players remain (or perhaps the word "Remain" is now consigned to history), with a number of big names crashing out very late on - Rep Porter was 9th, Chris Klodnicki 12th and Ian Johns 14th.
Matt Matros is the chip leader with reigning ME winner Joe McKeehan 2nd and a Greek player with a very long name 3rd.
WSOP39 - $10K 6 Max NLH Championship, Day 1 of 3, 294 entrants
As this is one of the more popular formats of the game, the field size for this is quite a lot bigger than the earlier 10K Championship events.
Over half the field went out on Day 1, with 123 still in contention.
Gabriel Andrade is the chip leader ahead of Brandon Steven & Daniel Strelitz, with Robert Mizrachi (aiming to be the 4th double winner this Series) and Justin Bonomo inside the Top 10.
Also inside the top 10 is Senh Ung for the UK, and Simon Deadman and Max Silver are in decent shape too. Steffen Sontheimer, Rhys Jones, Patrick Leonard, Stephen Chidwick & Jack Salter are also through, as is Roberto Romanello who was showing with a large stack not long before the end of the day but can now be found down outside the Top 100.
45 will get paid so still a long way to the bubble.
Jason Mercier won't be making another FT here as he went out some time ago.
WSOP40 - $2500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball (Limit), Day 1 of 3, 236 entrants
If you wondered why Stu Rutter & Benny Glaser aren't listed above in the 10K 6-max, it's because they were here playing Event 40.
61 of the 236 are still in the event, headed by Anthony Lazar, with Chris Vitch second and 2011 ME runner-up Martin Staszko third.
Daniel Negreanu and Jason Mercier bought in late, having been knocked out of other events and Mercier is sitting nicely in 5th with conflicting info about Daniel. The updates say he is in wth 47300 chips but the listings give that position to Daniel Weinman
No confusion about Mr Rutter. He is due a good run and is in a good position to do just that, lying 14th overnight while Glaser and Richard Ashby have zero chips between them.
To start today
WSOP41 - $1500 Monster Stack NLH, 5 Day Event (including 2 Day 1s)
WSOP42 - $3K Shootout NL, 3 Day Event
Well in to the second half of the Series now.
WSOP33 - $1500 Summer Solstice NLH, Day 5 of 4, 1840 entrants
Two years ago, Adrián Mateos (sorry for getting the diacritics wrong over the last couple of days) won the WSOP-E main event while still too young to play in the WSOP itself.
In 2015, he won the EPT Grand Final in Monaco. Now 22, he's announced his presence in Vegas with his second bracelet win, one that earned him over $409K
It's the second Spanish bracelet within a few days after Cesar Garcia won his. Even at such a young age, Mateos is second on the all-time Spanish money list but still trails former ME winner Carlos Mortensen by a large distance.
The defeated heads-up player was Austrian Koray Aldemir who was making his 5th cash of the series.
WSOP37 - $1500 PLO, Day 3 of 3, 776 entrants
This one should have been Tikay's but for some unfortunate run of cards, but instead went to an amateur player from the suburbs of Washington DC.
If you picked up A-I-I-J-Q-U-X in a game of Scrabble you'd be thinking that your luck was out, but rearrange them to Jiaqi Xu and we have Event 37 Champion
It's his first bracelet (in his 8th cash, dating back to 2009) and he also collected $212128.
Second, and making only his second WSOP cash was Londoner Jeff Duval, who's also a bit of a veteran with worldwide cashes back to the last century.
Third, only the third time a female player has made the top 3 this series (Kerryjane Craigie second in Event 1 and Linda Meredith 3rd in event 16) was Pallas Aidinian. Her $91K was her very first WSOP cash.
WSOP38 - $3K 6-Max Limit Hold'em, Day 3 of 3, 245 entrants
As the WSOP site says, "Rafael Lebron has enjoyed the poker week of a lifetime". A few days ago he had one recorded cash on Hendon Mob, a 400th place finish in last years Monster Stack for $4670.
He warmed up in Event 23 by making the money for a touch over $3K. Then in Event 30 he made the final table, coming second for over $212K. Now he's gone one better by winning Event 38 and added another $169K to his lifetime total.
Once the two big names in the field had departed, limit specialist and 3-time bracelet holder Matt Matros in 5th and 2015 ME winner Joe McKeehan in 4th, the field opened up with Brad Lisbon third and the Greek player who I didn't even name properly yesterday, Georgios Zisimpoulos as the runner-up.
WSOP39 - $10K 6 Max NLH Championship, Day 2 of 3, 294 entrants
Day 2 ended with 21 players left, including two British players left - Jack Salter and Steffen Sontheimer. It could have been four though, as Patrick Leonard went out very late on in 27th and Max Silver even later in 25th.
Simon Deadman had also earlier had a trip to the payout cage.
The chip leader is Nick Petrangelo after overtaking long-time chip leader Vanessa Selbst on the very last hand of the night. Justin Bonomo is 3rd and others left include Scott Siever, Chris Ferguson, Frank Kassela and in what I think is his first mention since I picked him in my fantasy team, Davidi Kitai.
WSOP40 - $2500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball (Limit), Day 2 of 3, 236 entrants
We've reached the unofficial final table with 7 left, unfortunately no GB players.
David Gee holds a sigificant chip lead ahead of Damjan Radanov and Christopher Vitch.
Stuart Rutter was in fact the only GB cash, 30th for $4307, while Jason Mercier went out 4 players later doubtless adding a few more Player of the Year points along the way.
WSOP41 - $1500 Monster Stack NLH, Day 1 of 4, 4054 entrants on Day 1A
Play has concluded for Flight A with two locals at the top - Greg Alexander & Andrew Moreno.
Hall of Famer and holder of 6 bracelets TJ Cloutier is 4th, with the first Brit two places behind him in the shape of Mohammed Ladek.
David Welch, Ross Boatman, James Dempsey, Marc Foggin, Pablo Campo, David Crane, Shaun Stanfield, David Vamplew, Paul Jenkinson, Matthew Moss, Michael Richardson, Chi Zhang, Ben Dobson, Martynas Vitkauskas, Murray Henderson, Graeme Ladd & Anthony Hamilton also have "GB" against their names in a field of just under 700 survivors.
WSOP42 - $3K Shootout NLH, Day 1 of 3, 400 entrants
Up by nearly 100 players on last year's total, each table of players plays down to a winner who guarantees themselves a min-cash and moves on to Day 2.
40 tables of 10 meant 40 survivors, some very slight differences in the chip counts I presume to players being blinded away early while not at the table but as near as makes no difference hey all have 150K.
Philip McAllister was the first player through for the UK, soon joined by Stephen Chidwick, Sergi Rexach and Daniel Merrilees
Non-Brits through include Faraz Jaka, Natasha Barbour, Tom Marchese, Maria Ho and last year's November Niner Zvi Stern.

WSOP33 - $1500 Summer Solstice NLH, Day 5 of 4, 1840 entrants
Two years ago, Adrián Mateos (sorry for getting the diacritics wrong over the last couple of days) won the WSOP-E main event while still too young to play in the WSOP itself.
In 2005, he won the EPT Grand Final in Monaco. Now 22, he's announced his presence in Vegas with his second bracelet win, one that earned him over $409K
It's the second Spanish bracelet within a few days after Cesar Garcia won his. Even at such a young age, Mateos is second on the all-time Spanish money list but still trails former ME winner Carlos Mortensen by a large distance.
The defeated heads-up player was Austrian Koray Aldemir who was making his 5th cash of the series.
Wow, this kid was seriously good even at 11!
PS /> Would like to add my voice to the many who say thanks a lot for these updates.
Corrected in updated post above.
What do you think would be the most dramatic way to finally clinch your first bracelet?
You are three handed, both your opponents have already got bracelets but you have the chip lead.
You look down at your cards and see Pocket Queens. Nice. Very nice. Then the button player moves all-in. Getting nicer...then your other opponent moves all-in as well. If one of them has pocket Kings or Aces, fair enough but without too much thought you cover the all-ins.
When the hands are turned over, the other players have Pocket Nines and Pocket Sixes, so you're a 65% favourite to finish the job, but you could do without the sweat.
No worries, the dealer deals the flop and it comes a seven....and the other two queens.
Flopped quads seals the deal, leaving the other two players drawing dead and there's not even a need for a heads-up match.
That's how Martin Kozlov became the 12th different Aussie to win a WSOP bracelet and Davidi Kitai (2nd) and Justin Bonomo (3rd) busted.
Earlier, Chris Ferguson went out in 4th preventing a very awkward bracelet ceremony, Jack Salter was 6th and Steffen Sontheimer 16th.
WSOP40 - $2500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball (Limit), Day 3 of 3, 236 entrants
Chris Vitch from Arizona made up for 1 second and 2 third places in previous years by running over the final table, earning himself $136K. He almost didn't even enter this, his run in the Six-Handed Limit event ended just in time for him to get his head together and sign up.
Austrian Siegfried Stockinger was second, and a player who Vitch plays with regularly at home, David Gee came third.
WSOP41 - $1500 Monster Stack NLH, Day 1B of 4, 6927 entries on Day 1B
Another huge turnout for the second flight of the Monster Stack
When combined we have 2001 remaining on the odyssey for the bracelet and the huge first prize of over $1.1m
The Top 3 are Steven Harper, Peter Braglia and Patrick Muleta but you doesn't need to look too far down the chip listing to find some familiar names - Bart Lybaert is 4th, Matt Gianetti 13th and Gaelle Baumann 21st.
Lots of Brits progress too, in fact too many to mention. Harry Lodge is the most prominent in 10th, ahead of Peter Charalambous, Luke Brereton, Max Silver, Usman Siddique, Daniel Laming, Daniel Wilson, Barny Boatman, Kevin Houghton, David Stonehouse, Andrew Mackenzie et al.
WSOP42 - $3K Shootout NLH, Day 2 of 3, 400 entrants
The 40 survivors from Day 1 were grouped into 10 4-handed tables with all eliminated players getting a min-cash and the 10 table winners progressing to the FT.
Three of the 10 are British, two of them trying to get a 3rd bracelet for Hampshire - Rhys Jones and Phillip McAllister, plus Stephen Chidwick for Kent.
Faraz Jaka and Maria Ho are 2 of 4 Americans also through, with single representations from Austria, Brazil and Canada. Perhaps they're playing A-B-C poker.
WSOP43 - $10K 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo Split 8 or Better Championship, Day 1 of 3, 136 entrants
My favourite game, but of course on a whole different level that I'd ever play at!
Randy Ohel is thechip leader ahead of 2014 Player of the Year George Danzer and Ali Abdul-Jabbar.
Eli Eleza is close behind, as is Todd Brunson, Dzmitry Urbanovich and another former Player of the Year Mike Gorodinsky. Brian Rast, Joe Hachem , Justin Bonomo and Bart Hanson have progressively smaller stacks, while there Brits through in the shape of Elior Sion, Adam Owen & Richard Ashby.

WSOP44 - $1K NLH, 3 Day Event
WSOP45 - $1500 Mixed NLH/PLO 3 Day Event
What an amazing end this was - pretty rare for any WSOP final which is 3 handed to end in one hand.
"....You are three handed, both your opponents have already got bracelets but you have the chip lead.
You look down at your cards and see Pocket Queens. Nice. Very nice. Then the button player moves all-in. Getting nicer...then your other opponent moves all-in as well. If one of them has pocket Kings or Aces, fair enough but without too much thought you cover the all-ins.

Flopped quads seals the deal, leaving the other two players drawing dead and there's not even a need for a heads-up match......"
It's a third bracelet for the UK (and a third one for Hampshire) as Philip McAllister has taken down Event 42, the $3000 Shootout NLH.
WSOP41 - $1500 Monster Stack NLH, Day 2 of 4, 6927 entries on Day 1B
Some Monster stacks in the Monster Stack and the biggest Monster of them all is held by British player Nabil Mohamed. Mohamed, who I can't find on Hendon Mob at all, started the day with 11000 chips and ended it with 175 times as many.
Andrew Moreno and Donghai Wu lie second and third, some distance behind Mohamed.
Just 276 remain, among them other British players Usman Siddique, Dan Wilson, Aaron Virchis, both Barny and Ross Boatman, Matt Davenport, Mohammed Ladek, Shaun Stanfield, James Dempsey and Stephen Woodhead
Some well-known names who are still challenging include Hall of Famers Billy Baxter, TJ Cloutier & Erik Seidel.
WSOP42 - $3K Shootout NLH, Day 3 of 3, 400 entrants
British bracelet ahoy! Philip McAllister from Winchester is the Shootout Champion, earning $267K and a gold bracelet.
He'd never done more than a Min-Cash at the WSOP, but did make a good run at the PCA this
year allowing him to play a wider WSOP schedule.
He beat Kyle Montgomery heads-up with Chistopher Kruk third.
Maria Ho finished 4th, Faraz Jaka 9th while the other two Brtish players Rhys Jones ended up 8th and Stephen Chidwick was the first FT elimination, in 10th spot.
WSOP43 - $10K 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo Split 8 or Better Championship, Day 2 of 3, 136 entrants
Hotting up nicely, 12 players left, 10 of whom have 16 bracelet between them. Justin Bonomo has a second and a third already this series, perhaps this time he will go and win it all? George Danzer and Todd Brunson are his nearest challengers
No British players cashed.
WSOP44 - $1K NLH, Day 1 of 3, 2076 entrants
Placed right in the schedule to pick those who had busted from the Day 1s in the Monster Stack, the $1K attracted over 2000 players
The bubble was reached near the end of day 1 and there are 225 players still in with a shout of the first prize of $298K.
Several Greek and Austrian players have had deep runs this Series, and we have one of each at the top of the Day 1 listings. Iliodoros Kamatakis and Dejan Boskovic the players in question. I'll leave you to guess which one is the Greek.
Mike Ellis appears to be the top GB player, down in 78th and he is accompanied to Day 2 by Daniel Tang, Matthew Hopkins and Simon Deadman. Timothy Wright, Toby Lewis, Samuel Watson and Chris Brammer finished in the money but busted late in the evening
Phil Laak doesn't seem to have been very noticable in the reports so far, but he is through as is 2015 Colossus winner Cord Garcia.
WSOP45 - $1500 Mixed NLH/PLO, Day 1 of 3, 919 entrants
Eventually 138 players made Day 2 in an event that brings together the two most popular poker variants. Loren Klein is chip leader with David Callaghan (from Ireland) and Shawn Rice not far behind.
Niall Farrell is set up for another decent run in 7th, Matt Ashton is somewhere in the middle of the field and Benny Glaser has a microstack to come back with.
Martin Finger, John Racener, Taylor Paur and Antonio Esfandiari are among those who come back with decent stacks, all inside the Top 20.
To start today
WSOP46 - $1500 Bounty NLH, 3 Day Event
WSOP47 - $10K 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) Championship, 3 Day Event
Play is ongoing with 26 left. Unfortunately the chip stacks page on the WSOP site only lists 4 of them!
One of them is Aaron Virchis who is listed as being from Southampton (so another deep run clocked up for Hampshire) but I believe has been Vegas-resident for some time.
Another is Irish legend Donnacha O'Dea who of course reached the FT of the Main Event back in 1983.
Edit- the reason the chip counts page was incomplete was because play had ended and the end-of-day updates were in progress.
26 do go through and Virchis is the only Union Jack listed. David Pham is chip leader ahead of Cody Pack & Gina Stagnitto. Others left include TJ Cloutier, Matt Affleck and as noted above Donnacha O'Dea.
WSOP43 - $10K 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo Split 8 or Better Championship, Day 3 of 3, 136 entrants
It's a fourth bracelet (and a second in this very event) for George Danzer as the Austrian-based German made it a third "so near but yet so far" this summer for Justin Bonomo.
Bonomo busted in third, with Randy Ohel being the runner-up
Eight of the last ten were bracelet holders, and the other two were Esther Taylor-Brady (already with 10th & 11th finishes this year) and Roland Israelashvili (8 cashes this year) so th cream certainly rose to the top.
WSOP44 - $1K NLH, Day 2 of 3, 2076 entrants
Nineteen players move on to the denoument of Event 44, with Young Sik Eum chip leader after his pocket kings held up against A-Q in a huge put. Michael Shanahan (not the ex-Denver Broncos head coach) second and Niel Mittelman third.
Not a lot of well known names still involved but at least one of the nineteen has a bracelet (Steven Wolansky). All survivors have locked up at least $9463.
No one from Hampshire, in fact no one from the UK at all since Matthew Hopkins busted in 46th.
WSOP45 - $1500 Mixed NLH/PLO, Day 2 of 3, 919 entrants
Fifteen players are still standing, and Day 2 ended just the same as Day 1 with Loren Klein in the chip lead.
The whole top 6 are US players with second held by Steven Gagliano and third by Dmitriy Savelyev.
David Callaghan is still there for Ireland, but no UK representatives. Niall Farrell was the last to depart in 21st, while both Matt Ashton & Benny Glaser made the money (138 got paid) but not the top 100.
WSOP46 - $1500 Bounty NLH, Day 1 of 3, 2158 entrants
The bubble burst very close to the end of the night, and we have 308 names moving on.
The chip leader is Jonathan Dimming with Tom Kearney 2nd and Joao Vieria 3rd.
Chris Moorman has the biggest stack of the Brits, David Tovar, Chun Law, David Crane, Henry Fewster, Max Silver, Daniel Wilson, Gordon Huntly, Iaron Lightbourne, Ariel Shefer and Rhys Jones join him in Day 2.
WSOP47 - $10K 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) Championship, Day 1 of 3, 125 entrants
38 out of the 125 are through to Day 2 with Abe Mosseri leading the way. Mosseri has Paul Volpe only a smidgen behind and Dan Shak not too far back either.
Stephen Chidwick and Adam Owen are having their usual solid Day 1s (has either of them been eliminated early in any event?) whlile theire is a third member of the 38 shown as UK but that is Tore Lukashaugen, a Norwegian fellow living in London.
To start today
WSOP48 - $5K NLH 30-minute levels, 3 Day Event
WSOP49 - $1500 7 Card Stud, 3 Day Event
Thanks Tina, Tuesday's post has now been updated to include the end of play positions.
We have a winner of the Monster Stack, and it is Mitchell Towner. As is often case, someone comes from nowhere to win these huge field relavtively small-buyin (by WSOP standrds) events, well, Towner doesn't even have a Hendon Mob listing.
Venezuelan Dorian Rios by contrast seems to have two - one as Dorian Rios and another as Dorian Alejandro Rios Pavon. Towner takes $1.1m, Rios almost $700K.
Aaron Virchis was the only UK listed player running deep, he bowed out in 11th spot for $78K.
WSOP44 - $1K NLH, Day 3 of 3, 2076 entrants
Heads-up play was reached between Steven Wolansky and Wenlong Jin but they were unable to determine a winner on what was supposed to be the final day.
The FT game got down to heads-up within 67 hands, the heads-up duel has already lasted 85. Both players have had a decent chip lead, but at the end of the night there's barely a chip between them.
Bradley Myers ended up third, and earlier chp leader Young Sik Eum 4th.
WSOP45 - $1500 Mixed NLH/PLO, Day 3 of 3, 919 entrants
Event 45 has concluded to the advantange of Loren Klein. Klein led after Day 1, and after Day 2, and most importantly Day 3.
It is his 4th cash of the series, but this was the biggest win of his career. Not only is it his biggest monetarily (exceeding the $195K he got when runner up in a $2500 PLO bracelet event in 2010), but as far as I can tell the last time he won a live MTT was in the Oklahoma State Championships as long ago as 2007 when he won $330 events on successive days.
WSOP46 - $1500 Bounty NLH, Day 2 of 3, 2158 entrants
Steve Gee, him of the 2012 ME FT is the chip leader at the end of Day 2.
The field is fairly cosmpotiltan with the top 15 players (of 36) coming from Canada, the USA, France, Hong Kong, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Germany.
Note I didn't include the UK, in fact the last UK player was Henry Fewster who departed in 75th, just a few minutes after Chris Moorman in 77th. They each collected $3151.
Other UK cashes - David Crane (83rd, $2736), Chun Law (130th, $2136), David Tovar (136th, $1921), Rhys Jones (139th, $1921), Max Silver (155th, $1921), Ariel Shefer (212nd, $1610), Gordon Huntly (257th, $1501) and Iaron Lightbourne (304th, $1417)
WSOP47 - $10K 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) Championship, Day 2 of 3, 125 entrants
Nine left at the end of Day 2 with Chris Klodnicki top of the pile. He has over $5 Million of WSOP cashes but is still chasing that elusive first bracelet.
Abe Mosseri and JC Tran are already members of the bracelet-holders club (Tran has 2) and they lie second and third.
Dan Shak went out 11th, Daniel Negreanu 12th, Dzmitry Urbanovich 13th and last UK player Stephen Chidwick 14th for $15182.
WSOP48 - $5K NLH 30-minute levels, Day 1 of 3, 523 entrants
Fast and furious stuff, the day is over already after 20 levels with 49 players qualifying for Day 2.
The chip leader is Latvian Eduards Kudrjavcevs, but close behind is The Grinder, Michael Mizrachi.
Max Silver is on for another deep run in 4th, Patrick Leonard 19th, Keith Johnson 27th, Jonathan Wong 28th, Yudhishter Jaswal 30th and Ben Dobson 37th so plenty of Briitsh chances still remain.
Others left in include Kyle Julius, Jason Mercier (of course), Mike McDonald, John Racener, Jeremy Ausmus, Phil Hellmuth, Davidi Kitai and Joe Cada.
WSOP49 - $1500 7 Card Stud, Day 1 of 3, 331 entrants
At the end of the day, Naoya Kihara had managed to hold on to the chip lead as 69 players will be coming back for Day 2.
Kihara's nearest challengers are Yaniv Berman and Brandon Cantu, but the man lurking in 6th is a familiar name by now - Benny Glaser.
Glaser has slipped down to 4th in the Player of the Year standings, overtaken by Randy Ohel (5 top 10 finishes including 3 in the $10K events) and Event 39 winner Martin Kozlov but a good run here would probably move him back to second.
Robert is the Mizrachi in this one and he lies 10th and other names still in include Shaun Deeb, Luis Veldor, Eugene Katchalov and Max Pescatori.
Unfortunately Glaser is the only British player left. 50 of the 69 will pick up at least a min-cash of $2257, with a binary-looking $111101 up top.
To start today
WSOP50 - $1500 Shootout NLH, 3 Day Event
WSOP51 - $10K 8-Max PLO Championship, 3 Day Event
He was one of 21 players through from Day 1A (see https://twitter.com/VenetianPoker/status/747893133443096576) and is in the top half of the chip count, don't know about Day 1B. It's a $150K guaranteed job, so even a min-cash will be a decent amount. From the Venetian schedule it starts at 5pm Vegas time (which I think is 1am tomorrow morning here).
For the second time inside a week, it was death by quads on the final hand as Steven Wolansky's pocket eights made a set on the flop and four of a kind on the turn.
That was good enough to beat Wenlong Jin on an unscheduled 4th day of Event 44.
Wolansky had previously won a braclet back in 2014 and now picked up his second along with $298K. Jin collects $184K.
WSOP46 - $1500 Bounty NLH, Day 3 of 3, 2158 entrants
Play was called off for the night with 3 players left, Kristen Bicknell from Canada, Norbert Szecsi from Hungary and American John Myung. If Bicknell goes on to win it, it would be the first female bracelet this year.
Play will resume with Bicknell having the chip lead, but all three are still all very much in contention. Myung was 8th in this very event last year.
WSOP47 - $10K 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) Championship, Day 3 of 3, 125 entrants
The Lowball Limit champion is John Hennigan. The player nicknamed "World" earned his 4th bracelet and $320K by outlasting Belgian Michael Gathy heads-up.
Hennigan has two seven-figure payouts on his resume, $1.5m for winning the Poker Players Event at the 2014 WSOP and $1.6m for winning a WPT event in 2007.
Gathy was also going for his 4th bracelet (and 2nd of the Series) but came up just short but
has the consolation prize of nearly $200K.
Third placed finisher JC Tran is a lightweight by comparison - he only has the two bracelets.
WSOP48 - $5K NLH 30-minute levels, Day 2 of 2, 523 entrants
I must have read the original schedule wrong as this was done and dusted within two days.
Ankhush Mandavia won his first bracelet in his second FT appeareance after dominating the final table. Daniel Strelitz came second and Christian Niles third.
Phil Hellmuth made his first FT of the series, busting in 8th.
The Brits went out before the Final Table, Max Silver lasting longest in 10th, ahead of Yudhishter Jaswal 13th, Patrick Leonard 14th, Keith Johnson 25th, Jonathan Wong 33rd and Ben Dobson 37th.
In between our players crashing out, Jason Mercier departed in 30th.
WSOP49 - $1500 7 Card Stud, Day 2 of 3, 331 entrants
Eight left to fight it out for Event 49, and it is Eugene Katchalov in the lead. Five years ago, Katchalov overturned a 14:1 chip lead to win this same event and will hope to win it for the second time on Thursday.
Katherine Fleck is still there so another decent chance for the ladies, with Cory Zeidman, Shaun Deeb and Max Pescatori among the other players. Not a bad little line-up for the last eight in a $1500 event.
Benny Glaser was eliminated in 25th spot for a cash of $2717.
WSOP50 - $1500 Shootout NLH, 3 Day Event, 1050 entrants
