WSOP Day 41 Digest

No bracelets were distributed yesterday but several tournaments are underway.

The Event #77: $3,000 Limit Hold’em 6-Handed started its day 1 with 193 players and ended with 57 players. The chip leader for day 2 is Ron Carmona with 147,000 chips.

Event #75: $1000 + $111 Little One for One Drop is looking great with 5,463 players, including its Day 1C played yesterday. 2,025 players will come back for the Day 2, lead by Stefan Ivanov with 658,000.

On the 109 players which started Event #90: $50,000 Final Fifty No-Limit Hold’em, only 45 will come back for the day 2. At this kind of limit, a lot of notables will still be able to compete: Dan Smith, Adrian Mateos, Fedor Holz, Daniel Negreanu, Christoph Vogelsang and many more. All of them are behind the current chip leader: Seth Davies with over two millions in chips.

Obviously the Event #73: No-Limit Hold’em MAIN EVENT – World Championship is catching all the lights, bursting its bubble yesterday. The unlucky bubble boy, Ryan Pochedl made all the 1,286 remaining players quite happy. As usual, he wins his entry for the next edition.

On the other side of the chip count, everything looks great for the Norwegian pro player Preben Stokkan, who will be the starting chip leader at the beginning of the Day 4 with 2,184,000 chips.

Event #78: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty will start today. GL for all players still playing at the world series!

WSOP Day 39 Digest

The main event is taking much of the attention, as it should, and we had no new champion yesterday.

1,100 on 3,248 players survived this day 2 AB, , combining the qualified players of day 1A and day 1B.

Day 3 will start on Monday, waiting for the players being able to get to the end of today’s day 2C.

As usual with this massive event, many well-known players are losing quickly: Justin Bonomo, Stephen Chidwick, Chris Ferguson, Phil Galfond, Daniel Negreanu and Ryan Riess.

On the other side of the chip count reports, we can see much had better runs Qui Nguyen, former winner of the main event in 2016 with a stack of 600,000 or Anton Morgenstern who bagged 735,000. They are both behind the current chip leader Timothy Su his 800,000 chips. With the current blind level at 1,000/2,000 they are quite comfortable for the next day!

The Event #75: $1000 +$111 Little One for One Drop finished Day 1 with 56 players left, including Event #66 winner David “ODB” Baker, currently 34th.

Without any other event started, it’s already time to say good bye, see you tomorrow!

WSOP Day 38 Digest

The bracelet distribution is slowing down with the start of the Main Event:

#	Buy-in	Event	Player	Prize
71	$500	SALUTE TO WARRIORS – $500 No-Limit Hold’em	🇺🇸 Susan Faber	$121,161

We had to wait 38 days to have a women win an open event! Susan Faber had to defeat none other than Rob Stark in heads-up to win her place on the iron throne!

Susan Faber, first bracelet and second WSOP cash

Few notables made a deep run in the tournament except one legend:

Player	Place	Earnings	#	Event
🇺🇸 Mike Sexton	142nd	$865	71	$500 SALUTE TO WARRIORS – $500 No-Limit Hold’em

The Main Event total entries count is still to be defined as late registration are still possible into day 2, but the 8,000 mark is broken, making it the second largest ever! It should end as the 5th largest event of this 2019 edition.

Here is the current top 5 events in entries:

#	Buy-in	Event	Prizepool	Entries
3	$500	BIG 50 No-Limit Hold’em	$13,509,435	28371
61	$400	COLOSSUS	$4,382,515	13109
64	$888	Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold’em	$8,139,852	10185
19	$1,500	Millionaire Maker – No-Limit Hold’em	$11,892,150	8809
34	$1,000	Double Stack No-Limit Hold’em	$5,592,600	6241

So many well known faces have entered the tournament. However, some like Phil Ivey or Liv Boeree unfortunately didn’t make day 2. In the chipcount leaderboard, three players have managed to quintuple their starting stack, including Mike McDonald who is currently second. Mike has accumulated $13,290,044 in total live earnings since 2007, and despite being 43th in the all time money list, he “only” managed to cash ten times for $220,833 at the WSOP.

There are at this moment no other events in progress other than the Main, but we still have 17 events to bag, starting with the Little One for One Drop today!
