Regarding the Mizarachi brothers, there aren't 3 of them, there are actually 4! Amazingly all 4 were still alive in the ME and returning with healthy stacks at the start of day 3.
From an online source;
At the end of Day 2B on Saturday, eldest brother Rob had $204,000; twins Michael and Eric had $217,000 and $145,000, respectively; and Donny, the youngest and least experienced of the four, had the biggest stack with $232,000. With the average stack somewhere around $80,000, all four are looking strong. For all four to have made it this far is a remarkable feat.
Don't forget, Sky Poker has a scheduled outage shortly.
Chip Counts for the Sky Poker Three, & other poker notables, will continue on my Twitter Page, which is http://twitter.com/Tony_Kendall
Normal service wil be resumed tomorrow, Tuesday. Hopefully, our three remaining players will not have any outages.
Daniel Negreanu and 2009 champ Joe Cada both out.
Around 1600 players remaining, 747 will cash.
We have just interviewed Neil Channing. Or, more correctly, I asked him one question, & he replied, without taking breath, for 10 minutes. Great stuff!
I gather Sue has just busted a shortie, Villain had A-K, Sue had the Lisa, & ended up with Trip Jacks!
I'll go see her now & check her stack.
Be right back.
Dinner-Break Chip Counts.
Sue Norsden, 118k
Guy Collins, 30k
Tony Stroud - 18k.
There are 2 hours left to play today.
1,454 players of the original 7,300+ remain.
The Plasma is currently "down", but I think the Blinds have 1 hour left at 1,000/2,000/300, then then play a "half-level" to finish the day, which I assume will be 1,200/2,400/300.
At the current rate of attrition, barely 1,100 will return tomorrow.
747 get paid.
Welcome back!
It's 2200 Vegas, 0600 UK, & there are 15 minutes remaining in Day Three.
And ALL three of our players remain in.
Sue, 125k.
Tony, 115k. He shot from 18k to 125k in 20 minutes, incliuding shoving 4 or 5 times in ONE orbit!
Guy 60k.
I cannot underestimate how well Team Sky Poker have done, they are all a total credit to Sky Poker.
We are minutes away from three of our 6 players making Day Four.
Blinds are currently 1,200/2,400/300.
The Plasma claims 1,287 remain. I think it's less. 747 will get paid.
Day Three commenced with about 2,550 players.
The Day Three clock has STOPPED. It stops 10 minutes "short", & they play "last 5 hands".
All present & correct, still........
With just 1 or 2 hands to play, here is the score.......
Sue, 112k
Tony, 100k
Guy, 57k
The Close-of-Play interview with all three has been completed, & Attila is now uploading it.
I forget the exact counts - they are in the Interview - but it's something like Sue 103k, Tony 93k, & Guy 55k.
And so, same time, same place, tomorrow, for Day FOUR of the WSOP.
The Money Bubble will bust sometime on Day Four, probably an hour either side of the Dinner-Break.
Will our three still be in?
Don't bet against it! It's been an extrordinary effort by our Team, by any criteria. Well done them.
And so that's goodnight - again, from Claire & myself. We WERE booked to go home on Tursday, later deferred to Wednesday, & now, who knows?
Night all!
xx
Keep it going folks.
Lets hope you all make it to the cash now, then onto day 5 and beyond, who know's Tony and claire might have to book a trip in Novemeber,for the final table... Here's hoping.....
It seems Tony just can't get that break, to take a comfortable stack into a table captain stack.
I bet he's unbelievably frustrated.
But it's amazing how he keeps taking it on the chin and bouncing back.
Next big hand is the key, if he can just get lucky (HOLD!! not even get lucky), 1 time, he cud be a real threat here. How many knocks can the guy take? Great resilliance and self belief.
Good luck to all 3.
I sincerely hope all of them cash and have a good feeling about a deep run. It's an annoying poker expression for sure, but I'm going with it:
SKY POKER TRIO CASH..... ONEEEEEEEE TIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!
Sue, for showing the boys how it's done,
Tony for brilliant comeback from almost dead
and Guy for keeping his cool despite the absence of hands.
Unlucky for Will Brewin but no doubt he'll be back next year.
Well done Tony and all the rest of the team for the 1st class coverage.
p.s. Welcome back D'oh
Well done the 3 still in, are the others still out there? hope you all go as far as possible good luck and run good!!! Sounds like your all having fun and playing good poker
Regards
John
Group A Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Mike Matusow, Phil Laak, Joe Cada, Annette Oberstad, Elky (Bertrand Grospellier), James Akenhead, Neil Channing, Dave Ulliott, etc etc. etc.
Group B Sue Norsden, Guy Collins and Tony Stroud
Answer; Group A have all been eliminated from the 2010 WSOP Main Event, Group B are all still in it!
What an sensational night for Team Sky, very well played by all 3. Tony's comeback from 18K in particular was amazing.
The bubble is getting close obviously, 1240 remain according to the official figures, so 493 eliminations to go, but with the average stack around 175K there's going to be much hard work to get there. I'm wishing you guys the very best of luck for tomorrow, make sure Tikay and Claire's flights get delayed even further and that you all fly home with plenty of $$$$$.
PS - All 4 Mazarachi brothers also made it through day 3.
Wouldn't it be amazing if one or better still all 3 remaining Team Sky Members have to make another visit to Vegas in November and reading these updates and the ones i followed on Twitter in the early hours this morning it seriously would not surprise me if that happened but Day 4 will be a tough one and 747 is the magic number to aim for!!!....
That is all!....
our brilliant three musketeers and d'Urrrr-tikay too.
Let me hear you say wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! xxx and a high five!
KEEP IT GOING GUYS AND GIRLS......BELIEVE AND YOU SHALL ACHIEVE!!!!!!!
With 10% of the field getting paid we would be lucky to get 1 cash out of 6 "Amateur" players in a field full of pro's. So to have 3 players still in on the day the money will start is fantastic.
Keep up what your doing, still a way to go yet!
