I'm only just now getting back to take a look at how things are going in the 39th Annual Main Event of the WSOP. I spent most of my day yesterday in Vienna again for the baseball tournament. Festivities from the day before were "postponed" until today due to the rain. It was like monsoon season around here for the past couple of days. We needed to dry the boys out. Anyway, we are done with the tournament. No more for us... we weren't doing so hot. But together we've identified some areas that we need to work on as a team, and some for the individuals as well. They are a good bunch of kids and we want to help make them all better ball players. The goal is to make 'em better than we found 'em. Somewhere in there's a life lesson I think.
Anyway, back to the WSOP. On Day 1b 1,158 players started the day but only 615 survived. The numbers are lower than the day before, and low in general BUT let's not go jumping to conclusions folks, there's no reason to start pannicking just yet. Notable bustouts on the day were Humberto Brenes, Jamie Gold, Greg Raymer, Kenny Tran, Scott Fischman, Dewey Tomko, Daniel Negreanu, Ted Forrest, Lee Watkinson, and Kristy Gazes.
Patrik Antonius rode high throughout the day but on the last hand of the day he took a big hit and was dropped to 64,125 in chips. My boy Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren is still in the fight, along with Thor Hansen, Hoyt Corkins, Erik Seidel, Vanessa Rousoo, 'Captain' Tom Franklin, Kathy Liebert, and David Grey.
As for Day 1c, 1,928 players began but only 1,026 survived. Notable bustouts on Day 1c included Larry Flynt, Huckleberry Seed, Max Pescatori, Mike Sexton, Gavin Griffin, Mimi Tran, Marco Traniello, JC Tran, TJ Cloutier, Paul Darden, Tony G, Marcel Luske, and Sam Farha.
Notable players who still remain include: Evelyn Ng, Nenad Medic, Brian 'sbrugby' Townsend, Shawn 'Sheiky' Sheikhan, Chris Moneymaker, Rolf Slotboom, Mike Matusow, Clonie Gowen, and Isabelle Mercier.
Day 1d is underway now, but updates for it are very far away. Have a great day folks.
Regards,
