World Series of Poker Pool 2010

[larrymcg421]

The World Series of Poker starts in 12 days. I usually start this pool late, so figured I'd get it going earlier this year.

Rules:

Pick 10 Poker Players

1 of the poker players must be female
1 of the poker players must not have a bracelet.
1 of your picks can be made "Money Man" and they will score double points for you.
1 of your picks can be made "Main Event Champion". If they win the Main Event, you win the pool by default. (Almost happened last year when Ivey made the FT).

Scoring is based on cash won by your players. You get 1 point for every $1,000 your picks earn.

This will be the 7th year of the contest. Previous winners...

2009 - Comey
2008 - MollyMurphy
2007 - timmynausea
2006 - Barkeep49
2005 - Chubby
2004 - albionmoonlight

Deadline for entry is May 28th 5pm. Late entries are accepted but you cannot score points for any tourney that started before you entered.

The WSOP starts off with a bang this year. The first non-employee event is a $50k tourney that rotates between Limit Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, Seven Card Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball.

Should be a good opportunity for lots of points to be scored early.

Faraz is another great pick but mostly plays no limit games.

He is also a really cool guy. He is actually dating a good friends of mine sister, they showed her on a NAPT broadcast and it was pretty cool. We hung out with him in Vegas last year, really great down to earth guy and I hope he does really well.

[larrymcg421]

Down to 5 at the $50k event.

John Juanda
Michael Mizrachi
Robert Mizrachi
David Oppenheim
Vladimir Schmelev

[larrymcg421]

Michael Mizrachi wins the $50k, which would've been worth 1,559 points, but alas none of us picked him. A few did have John Juanda who finished 5th for 436.865 pts.

[Subby]

wow I thought Grinder was a flash in the pan...I guess not.

He's on jbergey's list.

Indeed! He must be relieved the monkey is off his back. He has been close so many times.

[Lathum]

This may be the coolest email I ever got

Hi Brian,
Faraz Jaka wants to be friends with you on Facebook.

[larrymcg421]

Men the Master wins the 7 Stud championship. Mizrachi had another great run and finished 6th.

Dwan currently leads Event #11 with 20 left. Alot riding on it for Dwan as he has alot of bracelet bets out like Ivey did last year.

[larrymcg421]

Dwan finished 2nd in event #11, undoubtedly making most of Vegas breathe a sigh of relief.

Event #15 (the $10k Stud 8 Championship) is down to 6 players, with Harman and Juanda as the top two stacks.

I'll try to get some scores up by this weekend.

Scoreboard has been updated.

[larrymcg421]

We have 4 more events to complete before the Main Event

Note: I am not counting the tournament of Champions or the Ante Up for Africa events as they are not listed with official Event #'s on the WSOP website, nor have they been counted in the past.

[Lathum]

Just in case anyone is interested I believe the FT of the 6 handed event will be broadcast on ESPN3 tomorrow.

[larrymcg421]

Dwan and Hellmuth are still alive in the $10k PL Omaha World Championship.

[Lathum]

Lots of people sweating Dwan with all the braclet bets. I hear he stands to make 8-10 mil.

[larrymcg421]

Yep, and he just took the chip lead with 66 remaining.

[larrymcg421]

Wow, Durr went on a huge run last night. With 33 left, he has the chip lead with 910,000 chips and 2nd place is only 563,000.

Devilfish is 12th with 380,000, Hellmuth is 13th with 347,000, and Jason Mercier is 22nd with 213,000.

[Lathum]

Hung out with Faraz Jakas girlfriend yesterday. Just wanted to relay that, yes, I am a dork.

[larrymcg421]

Dwan eliminated in 17th place.

Hellmuth is still alive, but very very short. However, Jason Mercier is doing very well with the 3rd highest stack.

[larrymcg421]

I'll get final scores up shortly and start a new thread for the Main Event, which begins tomorrow.
