WSOP Saturday update, and NDPT #9 is tonight!

Event 44 - $1,000 No Limit Hold'em w/Rebuys has ended and we find Max Greenwood at the top of the heap. He takes home $693,444 for the victory along with the WSOP bracelet. Congratulations.

Event 45 - $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship enters Day 4 with 24 of the 148 remaining in the fight, and only the top 16 will find themselves in the money. These titans of the game will return to the Amazon Room at 3:00pm PDT to continue. We'll be waiting!

Event 46 - $5,000 No Limit Hold'em Six-handed is down to the final table, having thinned the original entrants from 805 to just 6.

Event 47 - $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi/Low has been narrowed down to the final 13 of the initial 544 and will get back underway at 3:00pm PDT.

Event 48 - $2,000 No Limit Hold'em will enter Day 2 with 198 players. This number down from the original 2,317 player field which started.

Event 49 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em just got underway and the reports "say" that the event is sold out, with the monitors in the Amazon Room showing 2,699 players. Oh yeah... poker's dead! : P Also being reported by PokerNews bloggers is that Nolan Dalla announced that John Bonetti passed away last night. A moment of silence was observed in the room. Rest in Peace John.

Meanwhile back at the ranch... my day has been a blur so far. Baseball practice was today at 10:00 for 2 hours. I then came home, and immediately began on the lawn. Hour and a half later that's out of the way, but wait there's more. Vacuum out and clean up the pool. Shower, then rehydrate, and grab a quick bite, while updating the blog. (Yes, I give til it hurts!) Next up is getting the basement ready for tonight's NDPT Tournament #9! Counting the chips, setting up tables and chairs... all the while working on laundry.

I'll see many of you soon. Don't forget game time is 7:00pm EST! Sharp-(ish) :)

Regards,
