Little One for One Drop, 3 for day 3
We head to the third and final day of the Droplet with 3 Sky Poker heroes still well in contention.
Unfortunately, you are stuck with Sky Mark and I today after the fantastic efforts yesterday of Mark and Tikay.
Play is due to resume at 2pm and we will be with you throughout the day as our players chase that bracelet.

If Tomgoodun & Markycash start chatting, nobody will have a clue what either are saying.
The very best of luck to our three guys today.
What a splendid effort by all three, & they have been close in chips, nip & tuck, for almost a day now.
All three are terrific lads and it's been pleasure to rail & report on them.
Now let's hope they go on a heater & go all the way.
Good luck chaps, you can do it.
Barny has done a full analysis of the Seat & Table Draw for our three chaps, & sent it to me.
If he does not post it shortly, I will.
Think I'll post the analysis Barny did, to save him a bit of work.
Please note he prefaces it with this comment;
"Last table breakdown of the Series although I'm a litlle worried that the WSOP will mess around with the draw as it has 12 tables (as you would with 100 players) and then at the bottom. Dale Lancaster as Billy-no mates on a table all on his own. Presumably he'll be slotted into one of the vacant seats but you never can tell..."

1 JCordy (GBR) 276K
2 Christopher Orme (USA) 483K. Virtually all his cashes are in New England, no Vegas results at all. Won a round $100K at Foxwoods in Nov 13 and $11K at the same casino in Mar 16, only one small cash in recent months.
3 Adam Hussen (CAN) 494K. Just 3 cashes, all in Kahnawake, Canada and nothing above his $2520 cash there a month ago.
4 Giuseppe Pantaleo (GER) 935K. Much more of a record than the last two, with almost a million in live cashes. 7 cashes this series, including FT of event 15 ($2500 NLH) for $43K. $232K for 5th in EPT Barcelona 2010 and loads of 5 figure scores (I counted 24) since 2010.
5 Martin Lesjoe (NOR) 216K. Only 2 cashes, $10K in a UKIPT on the Isle of Man in 2015, and $835 in a EPT side event in the Czech Republic last December
6 Randy Pfeifer (USA) 391K. Cashes date back to 2005, so very experienced. Cashed the BIG One drop last year ($111K buy in) for $166K, part of his $2m lifetime cashes. Cashed the Main in 2011, and several of these other huge field WSOP events. 4 cashes this series including 11th in the Crazy Eights, but his best result was 4th in the Millionaire Maker in 2015, finishing 4th for $441K. Has form in winning some smaller tourneys ($500 buy in and below)
7 Jess Grizzell (USA) 208K. Just one recorded cash, $500 for a min-cash in last years Series' tag-team event.
8 Vacant ?
9 Gennady Kalin (USA) 488K. No cashes at all this year, min-cashed last years ME and earned $9K in a $5 8-Max at the 2014 WSOP.

Miranda 626. The table of short names
1 David Bagheri (USA) 900K. A bit of a veteran, cashing at the WSOP since 2014. Total cashes $145K, best of $27K winning the 2005 US Poker Champs (a grand name for a $300 event). Cashed in the Crazy Eights for $2334 which is his only WSOP proper cash since 2012, but he has been regularly in the money in WSOP circuit events and deepstacks at the Rio and the Venetian
2 Alexander Haber (JAM) 300K. Second on the all-time Jamaican money list, but with only $221K that's maybe not as impressive as it sounds. Cashed last year's Main ($28K, his only WSOP cash) most of his other best results have been at various PCAs
3 Neng Lee (USA) 248K. A few cashes back in 2008-10, then not much until the strt of June since when he's had five paydays, 3 in Rio deepstacks (winning a $185 one last week) and 2 WSOP events ($1046 in the Colossus and $11K in Event 68 ($3K NLH)
4 RektSai (GBR) 277K
5 Lisa La (USA) 127K. All her $95K cashes are in Vegas, 1 WSOP cash in 15, 2 in 16 (2016 cashes included this equivalent event, 482nd place) and three this year, best of 400th spot in the Monster Stack for $4K
6 Kaue De Souza (BRA) 367K. Divides time between Brazil and Macau. Total cashes of $164K, still awaiting the breakout big win, best of $27K which he has achieved once in Brazil and once in Macau. Only WSOP cash was in the Giant (event 19) finishing 209th for $1609
7 Jaspal Brar (CAN) 339K. Another very experienced player, cashing back to 2006 although his best win dates back only to April when he won $66K in a WPT event in Edmonton. Cashed twice this WSOP (201st Millionaire Maker), 3 times last year (all in mass field events), 4 times in 2013 and 3 times in 2012
8 Cannon Lim (SIN) 857K Had a couple of cashes in the UK two years ago, including a $300 event at a UKIPT where he won the tournament, then mostly Asian events until 2 WSOP results last year (514th in the Main) but only 2 Macau cashes since. Total of $113K lifetime.
9 Matt Berkey (USA) 423K. If the tournament was played on the basis of career stats, Berkey would be the hot favourite to run over this table. Thankfully it isn't. He has over $3m in live cashes with the biggest splash a $1.1m win in a $300K Super High Roller Bowl at the Aria last June and that wasn't even for a win, he was 5th! He has spent some of the ME commentating for Poker Go so he obviously knows his stuff and has decent contacts. 6 cashes this WSOP

Miranda 642
1 Ricardo Abundis (USA) 335K. 290th in a WSOP event in 2009 for $2651, 297th in this series' Event 19 (The Giant) for $1625, and that's it
2 Jeffrey Guss (USA) 240K. This is his first WSOP cash, his previous scores ar mostly in Chicago area events (including winning a $360 NLH tourney in 2016 for over $100K). Cashed in a recent Rio $235 Deepstack (3rd for $8757)
3 Andrew Hedley (GBR) 499K. Shown as a British player, but no UK cashes since 2010. Since then it was one WSOP cash in 2015, and then a run from March through June in Vegas including 2 small WSOP cashes. Best payday was $16K in a $400 event at Planet Hollywood in March (Moorman was 4th, Dutch Boyd 2nd).
4 Domyo Aqmelli (ITA) 135K. No matches, even playing around with the spellings found nothing.
5 Eric Dam (USA) 223K. Shown on Hendon Mob as Eric Pierce Dam, with a total of $67K career cashes, most of which were in the 2008-10 timespan. One WSOP cash in each of '15/'16 in the Lucky 7s/Crazy Eights event. Best cash is one of those early ones, $31K for winning a WSOP Circuit event in Hammond in 2008
6 Jurgen Wenigwieser (USA) 1188K. Probably the Austrian player on Hendon Mob with pattern like Dam, but thinner. 4 cashes 2010-11 (best a 13th place in the 2010 Aussie Millions Main Event for $69K, and one cash in WSOP 2010 and 2011, then a huge gap until last years WSOP where he finished 15th in this for $27K. Has one of the biggest stacks left.
7 Vacant ?
8 Sebastian Hoyos Villegas (COL) 311K. Only been on the scene since March, 3 cashes that month in Poker Stars Championship in Panama City (nothing over $1680) and then three in the last month in Vegas (2 at Aria Poker Classic tourneys and his biggest cash, 22K in a $1600 NLH game at the Wynn for $22K
9 Stacker59 (GBR) 259K
Sam/Mark,
Not sure our three guys read the forum, so if you could show them this it would really help.
BIG thanks to Barny (FCHD) of course, what a job he has done all Series.
In Response to Re: Little One for One Drop, 3 for day 3: Quality :-)
In Response to Re: Little One for One Drop, 3 for day 3: Brilliant analysis by FCHD. I imagine the players would find it tough to do this last night considering the time which they got back to the Palazzo. Hopefully it can give them a little extra edge.
Marky - check your emails please.
Bring one to Manchester please.
Have a safe journey Tom, & xx to dearest Mrs Tom.
On a side note, watching the ESPN coverge of the Main, have you ever heard a posher sounding poker player than Charlie Carrel?
