VEGAS BABY!

Subby · 07-08-2006, 11:40 AM

QuikSand, Primelord, Malificent and some jackhole named SubbyChris are headed to Vegas today to play in one of the WSoP NL events and hopefully clean up in the side games. Hopefully we hook up with Vegas Vic while we are out there.

The 50K HORSE event, ladies event and SENIORS event (money old school gamblers) will also take place while we are there. Should be a blast.

Wish us luck! Updates as they become available...

And see you on ESPN

Awesome...you kids have fun!

heybrad · 07-08-2006, 12:25 PM

My wife is in Vegas this weekend to see Chris Isaak.

Please stay away from her.

Vince · 07-08-2006, 12:34 PM

I still temporarily hate you for Wes Hopkins.

But good luck anyways

kcchief19 · 07-08-2006, 12:54 PM

Good luck, guys. Kick ass and take names.

biological warrior · 07-08-2006, 01:09 PM

If you got time check out the NBA summer league games at the T&M and cox pavillion. Tix start at 22$.

kingfc22 · 07-09-2006, 06:49 PM

Good luck tomorrow guys.

Next year I am making sure that I will be playing in this event.

kingfc22 · 07-10-2006, 03:41 PM

Any updates???

The organizers already anticipate 2,800 or more entrants and a full room for most of the day. There is a full line of alternates who will be accepted into the tournament for the first two levels.

Looks like a good sized field.

albionmoonlight · 07-10-2006, 04:01 PM

There's no site that keeps running tabs of everyone in the tourney, huh? I can only find lists of "notables."

gottimd · 07-10-2006, 04:15 PM

Cardplayer dot com?

Shows some winners but they seem to be actual names unless they entered the tournament with their FOFC names. If they did, see post #11.

Unless of course if they entered the tournament as "Ice Pick Killa"

Yeah, with a field this large they're only going to track the "notables" and anyone with an oddly large stack. CardPlayer may also track FullTilt qualifiers, which I assume there are some.

It's very classy and subtle. You have to admire understated marketing campaigns.

Vegas Vic · 07-10-2006, 07:53 PM

I spoke to QuikSand last night, and it looks like all of the FOFC contingent is playing in the NL event today. I'll post an update later tonight when I talk to him.

Barkeep49 · 07-11-2006, 07:46 AM

Update. I want an update.

Butter · 07-11-2006, 08:11 AM

If anyone knows their real names, you can check the attached and see if they're still alive and/or if they made the early stages of the money. I don't, sadly.

Barkeep49 · 07-11-2006, 08:31 AM

I know that Subby is out then. Don't know any of the others.

Radii · 07-11-2006, 08:53 AM

Quiksand is still alive, somewhat of a short stack though.

Radii · 07-11-2006, 08:57 AM

I'm pretty sure primelord is out also, but I don't know his last name, so not 100% certain. If Mali played, he's out too.

KJDelaney · 07-11-2006, 08:59 AM

great.

more tourists. Just what we need.

He's not on the list, so he may be out.

Worse yet, if he's not on the list, he finished below Shannon Elizabeth.

RedKingGold · 07-11-2006, 09:14 AM

Go Shannon Elizabeth!

Finishing behind her wouldn't be bad either

I tried to think of a way to phrase that so it could not be twisted, but behind Shannon Elizabeth sounds just as yummy

digamma · 07-11-2006, 10:31 AM

Nice work, Quik!

Coffee Warlord · 07-11-2006, 10:39 AM

So the only one still in is Quik?

Lathum · 07-11-2006, 11:20 AM

The fact there is stillo ne in is pretty amazing. Go Qwik!!

Radii · 07-11-2006, 11:28 AM

I'm fairly certain that's the case.

Here's the payout structure:

Quote:

PLACE PRIZE
1 $526,185
2 $289,389
3 $157,322
4 $122,596
5 $105,232
6 $88,132
7 $74,715
8 $61,561
9 $49,722
10 $38,936
11 $35,516
12 $32,622
13 $29,991
14 $27,360
15 $24,730
16 $22,099
17 $19,468
18 $16,837
21 - 19 $14,206
24 - 22 $11,576
27 - 25 $9,471
36 - 28 $7,892
54 - 37 $6,314
81 - 55 $5,262
108 - 82 $4,209
153 - 109 $3,157
198 - 154 $2,368
270 - 199 $1,578

Currently there are 139 left, so Quik is guarenteed $3157. At 108 it jumps to $4200. He's in ~95th out of the 139 left, but it looks like the blinds are catching up quickly to the bottom half of the field. Cardplayer lists the current blinds at 600/1200 with a 200 ante, about 20,000 chips only puts you at an M of 10. There are about 45 people at or below that level, so it'll be crazy in the early going.

Cardplayer posts updates with the names of all the finishers after 6 or 7 new people bust out, so we should be able to see before the end of the night how things are going.

This starts back up at 2pm Vegas time, so 5pm EST.

Lathum · 07-11-2006, 11:40 AM

Any word on interesting bust outs/ suck outs/ or pro's played with?

cartman · 07-11-2006, 11:43 AM

There must not be any free wi-fi hotspots in Vegas. Either that, or the after parties are something legendary...

I believe primelord went all in with Shannon Elizabeth and shot his wad.

QuikSand · 07-11-2006, 12:28 PM

Thanks for the encouragement, guys. We're having a great time, collectively we're up pretty comfortabely even before the tournament, and it's all good.

I haev been fairly short stacked most of this event, and have been getting by mostly by the unspectacular method of stealing blinds, keeping out of serious trouble, and staying alive. I'm not desperate going intot day two, but I'm also about one bad hand from being in a desperate situation. Blinds and antes are awfully hungry right now -- if you follow such things, the average chip stack has an M of only about 7, and mine is under 5.

More details later... but I never thought I'd have an opportunity to make a "TV read" and play against someone differently based on what I saw of them on television... but there I was (hint: the foe was Tiffany Williamson). I survived, very luckily, a big hand right at the money bubble (I would not have gotten involved had I known exactly where we were in that regard). And Shannon Elizabeth is really, really, really hawt. Even in person. Yikes.

Thanks for the support... hope the ride continues!

QuikSand · 07-11-2006, 12:29 PM

Oh, more details to come... but primelord lost out when his QQ got busted by JJ.... and Subby can detail his "chip and a chair" tales better than I can. but he made a hell of a rebound from being basically on the felt.

CleBrownsfan · 07-11-2006, 12:57 PM

Sounds like a blast Quick - Good luck today!

John Galt · 07-11-2006, 01:15 PM

Congrats. Good luck today!

QuikSand · 07-11-2006, 01:26 PM

This is primelord. I am too lazy to log Quik out and sign in as myself.

I'll post some details as well when we get back, but a real quick recap of the hand that doomed me. I had QQ in the BB and somewhere between 4,000 and 4,500 chips. A guy I had pushed out a few times makes it 1,200 preflop. Blinds of 150-300 and antes 25. It's folded to me and I shove. He hems and haws a bit and then says I don't think you have my pocket pair beat and calls. He turns over JJ. Turn is a J and I am busto.

What can ya do? I will say I got hit the face by the deck in the first few hours of the tournament. AA twice, KK three times, QQ, JJ, AK a ton. So anyway that is all for now. We are having a great time and I have run into some "interesting" people along the way here. And I am not talking about Subby.

flere-imsaho · 07-11-2006, 02:04 PM

Did Quik win yet?

dixieflatline · 07-11-2006, 02:27 PM

This better become a FOFC/92o annual tradition. I'm so in next year. GL quik.
