[Sun Tzu]

Arieh ..... another real classy guy. I dont think I would really call him a big name though.

 

[ageecee]

If Arieh is out thats good for that fawkin prick

 

[ageecee]

[Kdogg21]

Johnny Chan is gone

 

[ageecee]

[GM]

Among the big / well-known names knocked out so far:

John Bonetti
Men "The Master" Nguyen
Erick Lindgren
Evelyn Ng
Johnny Chan
Jesus Ferguson
Daniel Negreanu
Josh Arieh
Ted Forrest
Ted Dawson
Barry Greenstein
Erik Seidel
Scott Fischman
David Grey
Mike Sexton
Humberto Brenes
David Ulliot
Mike Caro
Harry Demetriou
Phil Laak
Freddy Deeb
Carlos Mortensen
John Murphy
Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond)
Tobey Maguire
Shannon Elizabeth

I believe I also read somewhere that Annie Duke, while still alive, is extremely short-stacked.

Hellmuth, Moneymaker, Raymer and Farha are all doing reasonably well I think...though Farha had been up to close to $70,000 and took a big hit to drop to the $33,000 range.

1/3 of the field has not even started play yet. I've heard no news of Howard Lederer, Chris Darden, Phil Ivey and Scotty Nguyen, so I'm assuming they all play tomorrow.

 

[Kdogg21]

John Hennigan "The Globe", just got knocked out

 

[Kdogg21]

David Williams...he gone

 

[bjfinste]

A recent update had Farha back to a little more than 50k. Moneymaker has been in the 20-25k range for quite some time.

 

[Kdogg21]

Dewey Tomko....he gone

I think Phil Helmuth has around $50k as well.

 

[countinguy]

Don't we have a few other members of this forum playing? Someone said Boundbook was playing and I thought their was a third one, andyone know how their faring? Im surprised Countinguy is not in the game! Hope Jack or someone else from the site takes home a bundle

Hey MC, appreciate ur comment but not this year bro, hopefully next year, but I am playing in a $10k local game tommorrow here, so hopefully bring me gl. But Definitely pulling for both the madjackers, me and bound were playing some 15/30 cash games on pp last week, seems to be a strong player, so hopefully hangs in there, just wish i could get an update somewhere.

Can't wait for NFL halftimes to start about 6 weeks away!

 

[Kdogg21]

Jack Effel Cracks the Whip
Log: Due to the insane amount of players and spectators in the main event, ten minutes before every break, Tournament Directors announce that all spectators must clear the room, in order that the players will be able to get out and back before their break is over. As is often times the case, many spectators choose to ignore this request, feeling that it doesn't really pertain to them. Well, Jack Effel made it pertain to them. Big time. Check out this progression of his announcements:

"If you are a spectator, you must leave the room."

"If you are watching your friend, father, mother, brother, sister, wife, or husband, you must leave the room."

"If you are standing along the wall, you must leave the room."

"If you are leaning up against the wall, talking to your friends, and drinking a Heineken, you must leave the room."

"If you are wearing a nice skirt, and possibly some slacks, you must leave the room."

"If you are wearing a cowboy hat and talking to a woman in a white shirt you must leave the room."

"You. You in the cowboy hat. Leave."
