50K? Whaddya mean?

 

Im assuming the difference in payout from one place to the next..

[stitchface]

next person out the purse bumps from $175 to $275 - so its not $50k a person - its $100k per 2 people.

Later Juan, off to the bar for me! Best of luck to Mike!

[stitchface]

latest update - 15 players left - Mike is at 1.5 million - still around the middle of the pack. huge amounts of chips changing hands now. coming off the dinner break shortly.

[stitchface]

14 now left.

[delroy lindo]

Raymer is bossing the table, huh?

[stitchface]

Raymer got taken down for $3 million just before dinner, its evened out a lot. This is commentary from the floor.

 

> It's dinner break; play resumes at 8:15PM

> Chips: 1.52 Million

> Quote: "Big hands, no money"

>

> QQ against Marcel; flop comes AQ but is all spades so Mike has to go

all-in (can't slow-play)

> KK blind vs. blind no action

>

> AA vs. Harrington's blind; Mike is certain that Harrington will re-raise

him LIKE HE HAS EVERY OTHER TIME; this time no action

>

> The one hand he did win he had 88s vs TT. Flop is 9-high, the other guy

has only $600K left so Mike decides to go all-in. The

me". Mike, being a nice guy, doesn't know what to do. "You

> ain't gonna like it he says" and shows.

Kevin Bott eliminated, down to 13.

[delroy lindo]

Oh baby, John Murphy is OUT!

 

Went all in on A-Ko, Dean called with wired jacks, flop turned over another, and that was all she wrote for the kid. Not a bad payday for a 21 year-old though, $275 K

 

12 left!

 

Go Mikey!

[delroy lindo]

That pot gives dean $4.9 MM.

 

The worst Mike can do is $373,000 :D

[stitchface]

scary pots now. dozen dozen hoy!

[delroy lindo]

Down to 10, Dewey Archer is out.

 

Josh Arieh is picking these guys off.

[stitchface]

Arieh is killing. Mike is trailing badly in chips but needs to survive only one more to play tomorrow. Guy is smart and has a plan - not sure if he can survive from the bottom though.
