Thorsten77, he has already busted.
FA_Morgoth
vedevas
Tom Dwan is also still in here. Thorsten77 was the one who doubled him up when he was down to his last 3k. He was talking about the AQ vs T8 hand where he busted from the $25k, as i took this pic.
durrrr has 22k chips, Vedevas 67k and FA_Morgoth 39k
blinds are now 600/1,200 and 163 players are left.
Before he bust out, Thorsten77 had some interesting hands:
UTG 15BB all in, MP1 ~25BB tanked and went all in, Thorsten77 looks down at JJ but before he could called another guy with 40BB also went all in, Thorsten77 mucked. UTG AK vs MP1 99 vs AA, 9 high flop and the aces were cracked.
In his final hand, Thorsten77 shoved CO with A4s 19.5k (600/1,200), BB called with TT
Updates from the $5k PLO and $25k 6-max coming up.
In the $5k PLO, psychobenny has around 100k chips now.
He lost around 100k of his stack early on against Kevin Boudreau. The flop was K J T rainbow. I didn't catch all the action, but i think benny bet (or maybe checked), boudreau raised, benny re-raised and boudreau announced pot to pretty much put benny all-in. benny folded.
Then there was a big hand where he called a 4-bet all-in preflop and lost.
K:c J:c T:h 2:h vs A:h Q:h Q:s 9:s. The board was K:d 9:h 2:d 8:h 9:c
Blinds here are not 5k/10k but will go up to 6k/12k soon.
In the $25k event,
Zwacke is also playing
Zwacke - 140k
PokerNoob - 150k
philbort 100k
Blinds are at 300/600 with 75 ante
Updates from the $3k triple chance:
vedevas has 93k chips while FA_Morgoth has 116k. The blinds are 1k/2k with 300 ante.
Vedevas had made a nice double up, after knocking out a player who he just had covered.
MP3 raised, he re-raised all-in from the CO and MP3 called. QKo vs 99, and a K came on the flop.
psychobenny has been eliminated from the $5k Pot Limit Omaha event, so we will stop coverage on that event now. I did not catch his elimination hand but he finished in 19th place for $15,566.
#edit, just managed to ask benny about the hand.
UTG limp, CO limp, benny on BU pots it with Q Q T 6 (he had 8bb left), UTG folds and CO calls.
Flop Q:c J:c 8:c, CO puts him all in and benny calls with 3bb left. villain showed J T 7 8:c:c, benny couldn't pair the board and was out
Some chip count updates from the $25k event.
PokerNoob has 14k0k, JC Tran is also on his table now. I asked him if he had any interesting hands with Roland to report, he said he called Roland down on the river again. Roland was on a big bluff, and PokerNoob actually had a pair this time.
Zwacke has 78k chips
philbort 105k
One last update from both event today and i will be closing down the live ticker.
Will give you a final update at the end of the day.
In event #51, They have 89 players left and both our guys are still in and they have just made the money! blinds are now 1.2k/2.4k with 300 Ante.
vedevas has 120k chips
FA_Morgoth 90k

philbort - 140k
PokerNoob - 75k
zwacke - 75k
saw PokerNoob made a big call on the river but lost the hand.
board was Q:s 8:c 9:s T:s 6:h, there was ~30k in the pot. villain had made a 42.6k overbet, and PokerNoob tanked for a long time before making the calling. PokerNoob had a J for he straight but villain showed A:s 5:s for the nut flush.
The $25k event just ended, the screen shows 69 players left.
philbort is now the chip leader with 548,000 chips. Zwacker has 217,800. The blinds tomorrow will start at 1.5k/3k.
In the $3k triple chance, Vedevas is still in but has 191k, or 19 big blinds left. Blinds are 5k/10k with 1k ante. FA_Morgoth busted not too long ago. There are now 24 player left. I will bring you another update once this event concludes for the day.
Zwacker had more than 300k chips but lost the last hand of the day.
MP raised to 7k, Zwacker called from the BB.
Flop 2:d Q:d K:h, Zwacker checks, villain bets 10k, Zwacker calls.
Turn 2:s, Zwacker checks, villain bets 20k, Zwacker calls.
River 4:h, Zwacker checks, villain bets 39k, Zwacker calls.
villain shows Q Q, and Zwacker said "you could've got more if you went all in pre-flop", villain was pretty short with i think 50k left after the last bet.
vedevas finished 6th on Day 2 with 12 players left. he has 917k chips. and blinds tomorrow will be 6k/12k with 1k ante. Places 2-5 all have around 950k as well, but the chip leader has around 1.7 million.
The chip leader got his chip after managing to go all-in preflop with a 850k stack (5k/10k blinds). The previous chip leader raised, he re-raised, villain 4-bet, and he shoved and villain called. AK vs A9.
innerpsycho, MongooseRus and eleph (vedevas' girlfriend is the girl in the pic)
3 big stacks side by side, vedevas in the middle. (green - 25k, orange - 5k, yellow 1k). This table had the other one out chipped by at least 4 to 1.
I also have some updates from the $2k Venetian Deepstack tournament that played today.
Around 520 players entered and there 110 left. 54 get into the money. Blinds start at 1k/2k tomorrow and a few of our players are still in. These chip counts are just estimates:
Nazgul 120k
RobbieV 82k
Trader 145k
vipa still in but don't know his chip count.
First place pays 220k
Original von Wills

vedevas finished 5th in on Day 2 with 12 players left. he has 917k chips. and blinds tomorrow will be 6k/12k with 1k ante.
He is actually sixth, i missed one player in the final count. But 2nd to 6th place is seperated only by 124k.

Makes perfect sense. Sheep for company in a cold room, Snickers for food, forks to eat chips if don't feel like Snickers. LDO.

There is actually live streaming on ESPN3.com for zwacke's table. However, it is only available for viewers in the US.
If you are able to access, zwacke is obviously the coolest looking guy on the table.
