Event 49 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em has completed and J.C. Tran has emerged as the winner, having outlasted the field of 2,718 players. He takes home his first bracelet and a $631,170 payday! Congratulations.
Event 50 - $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha World Championship is now down to the final 9 having thinned the field from the initial 381. Michael Mizrachi will enter Day 3 of the event as the chipleader. Still up for grabs is the top prize of $859,549!
Event 51 - $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. will enter its 3rd Day today, with 21 out of 803 players remaining. Currently Phil Hellmuth is on top of the pack with the chip lead. Of course it's far from over, but if he wins this one, there'll be no shuttin' him up! Okay, okay... sorry Phil. This event (if he ultimately would take it down) would be his FIRST bracelet in a "non-hold'em event!" $256,412 remains to be claimed as well as the WSOP bracelet.
Event 52 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em will enter Day 2 with 223 of the initial 2,693 starting field. It's still much to early to make any speculations on this one. The top prize of $625,443 remains to be won.
The only event on tap to get started today is Event 53 - $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout. Which will usher us into Thursday's wondrous chaos, also known as Day 1a of the Main Event. I'm already excited and nervous and I'm not even there! Maybe I should tweak the meds or something.
JR, if you're still reading the blog, you should probably CEASE AND DESIST by Thursday, if you don't want to read any spoilers about the Main Event. While I hate to lose any of the regular readers to the blog I also don't want to diminish any of your viewing pleasure, for when ESPN televises it all for you. Me, I'll just borrow that "flashy-thingy" from Men In Black and get to enjoy it all over again!
In All-Star Baseball news, I was just informed last night of a portion of our schedule for the Vienna All-Star Tournament. We begin on Wednesday at 9:15PM! Yes, I said frackin' PM! Who was the brainiac who put together a schedule that has 9 and 10-year-olds, starting a baseball game at that hour? Can I get a WTF from someone?!? Beyond that all I know is that we play another game on Thursday, two on Friday, and at least one on Saturday, and beyond that it'll depend on our performance. So much for a nice laid back holiday weekend.
