There appears to be a lot of chips on that table. Doug Polk, who is sat to Sam's left has a decent bit over 100k too. Will be interesting to see if Sam & Doug decide to tangle with each other or stay out of one anothers way.
Bad news, Gareth is on the un-rebound now, after his Kings could not improve v the only hand it could be behind to pre-flop. BUSTO
Great effort though.
That just leaves Boggo.
He was also in reverse gear last time I looked, down to about 65,000.
We had 4 players going well when Marky arrived. 3 have since bust, the other is southbound.
Marky the Bok.
Boggo
Having a real tough day, down to 45,000. Just can't get a hand, & when he does, they don't hold.
Still, 45,000 with Blinds at 500-1,000/100 is still a very playable stack.
Boggo
He's heading back north now - 50,000.
We are minutes away from the end of Level 8, so a 20 minute break beckons.
Unusually - uniquely? - today's Dinner Break is not until after Level 9, at around 8.05pm.
The Dinner Break will be 90 minutes, so Level 10, the final level of today, will end around 11.35 or 11,40pm.
All times are local, (Las Vegas), UK time is 8 hours ahead.
2XUp news
Marky the Bok has gone across to Venetian to play some Big O cash.
And the very moment he left, Boggo, who barely won a hand the whole time Marky was here, flopped a boat & got paid in full.
90,000 now.
Great news that Boggo has got a double!
Was brilliant to spend a few hours with you and get to see the WSOP from a different perspective.
Good luck in that cash game.
Meanwhile, with Marky the Bok out of the way, Boggo continues to gain altitude - close to the magic 100,000 now.
10 minutes remain, which will be followed by a 90 minute dinner break, then 1 x 2 hour level, before Days 2A & 2B come to close.
A really odd piece of scheduling that, for which we can blame ESPN.
It's bang wrong that the players don't get the benefit of any extra money for the inconvenience of TV coverage, though I guess there are far greater injustices in real life.
great updates tikay, thank you.
Dinner break now, play resumes at 9.35pm.
Boggo has around 75,000, which is more than enough, & short of a big accident, Day 3 beckons. (Unless Marky the Bok returns).
Good luck Boggo!
Great updates as always Tikay.
Uh-oh, Setback City
Wandered across to Table Boggo & our stack seems to be about 50,000.
He was in the zone, & it's awkward to ask at the table "what happened?" so I don't know what happened.
Its far from over though, he still has around 30 Bigs. I've started Tourneys with less than that.
Losing Altitude
With 30 minutes of play left in Day 2, Boggo has 43,000. Been a tough session since Dinner.
No need to panic yet, Blinds start tomorrow at 1,000-2,000/300, so he has some wriggle room, & as the cliché goes, one double up......
And at this point Lades & Gentlemen, after 14 hours, my fuel gauge is on red & my tummy is rumbling, so I'm off up that long Rio Corridor to treat myself to a sandwich, a choc ice, & half an hour in bed with a good book.
SuprNova & Darren gave me a wonderful gift yesterday of a book on the life of the greatest ever Victorian Engineer - & perhaps the greatest ever British subject - I K Brunel. He built the Great Western Railway, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Docks, Paddington Station, SS Great Britain, that amazing brick built arched bridge over the Thames at Maidenhead, & plenty more besides. I'll fill you in on all the details tomorrow, right?
Night all.
Only a few end-of-day stacks reported so far, Sam Grafton has 315K, Liv Boeree 72K (after getting a runner runner straight to stay in the event). Doug Polk, Kenny Hallaert, Mike Matusow, Chris Vitch and Barry Shulman among others with chips.
Just to tidy up yesterday's action, Boggo made Day 3 with 38,000.
Well done him.
Seat 1 - Matthew Hyman - 214,500
Seat 2 - Benjamin Nicolas - 94,000
Seat 3 - Slade Fisher - 61,700
Seat 4 - Ryan Johnson - 52,400
Seat 5 - David Boggon - 37,900
Seat 6 - Christopher Savage - 116,500
Seat 7 - Ryan Breslin - 121,100
Seat 8 - Alexander Saladze - 48,000
Seat 9 - David Wilhoit - 117,400
All in the Amazon room on table 87.
As far as I can see at any rate.
Best of luck David!
I'm just getting set up in the Media Centre, & clearing my "overnight urgents", then I'll take a look and post. (Or my new Assistant, Markycash, will).
FCHD usually gets these done for us, but he does not seem to be around this morning.
^^^^
How did he do THAT?
I was just suggesting he did it, & lo & behold, ZING, it's there.
Ha, was just having a read up on the thread before I left the room
Going to Wallmart for supplies and then getting breaky and I can head over a little early (probably around mid-day) if that isn't a problem?
Cafe Latte with 2 sweetners?
