[Mortis]

Ivey's taken a beating today so far, losing almost half his stack.

 

[JOEBOB69]

Thanks for the updates smd wsop keeps kicking me off saying to much traffic.

 

[smd173]

Break time, so I'm done with the updates. Hope they helped.

 

[JohnnyFronts]

I couldnt see the cards, so thank you for putting the text versions in

Sucks Antonio busted, he was in line for a deep run since he hasnt had a deep run in a while.

I guess it doesnt much matter though since me makes all those canolis playing suicide-stakes live games

Thanks SMD for the updates. Im off work in about an hour so I will be able to get on a poker-website-friendly terminal.

[jdeliverer]

He's going to get himself super shortstacked and have his friends bet on him once nobody else is and make millions!

 

[switch0723]

[GeoffLacey]

well this couldnt have started much worse

Shoulda just played down to 9 last night lol

 

[Implied Odds3]

Phil, Phil, Phil.... why?
You better be doing this on purpose...

 

[JohnnyFronts]

Besides Ivey have any of these remaining players done anything in poker or are they just rookies? I saw from a post earlier one of them is an online guy, but what about the rest?

 

[jdeliverer]

Does anyone have updates?

 

[GunslingerZ]

"Lucky Chewy" out, down to 17. Ivey won a pot to get up to 7M.

 

[GeoffLacey]

gg chewy

Out JJ v KK against Moon

 

[GunslingerZ]

BTW, today's payouts:

10-12th - $896,730
13-15th - $633,022
16-18th - $500,557

Everyone left has won at least a half mil.

 

[GunslingerZ]

Tavelli and Lacay out. Apparently Tavelli got over $7M all in pre-flop w/ 99, lost to KK. Down to 15.

actually it went in on a 7 high flop

 

[Mase31683]

Ivey chipped "up" to 6.8M, 3rd from the bottom, but not far from the top. Definitely still quite in it.

 

[switch0723]

sigh chewy, antonio, leo and lacay, 4 of the 6 cool people to final table out

 

[pantin007]

hopefully ivey, schulman, maimone

if they fail to make it, no point in watching the ft

 

[switch0723]

Poker needs ivey and moon to final table
