Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone. Obviously there is a long long way to go before there is any genuine cause for celebration, but it is great knowing there are some supporters out there!
With 139 left and only 71 making the money, we have to lose almost half the field before there is any financial reward for yesterday’s good run. Statistically speaking, that means I am 52% to cash, skill wise speaking, it means I am about 20% to cash, but chip wise speaking, I’m probably 65% to cash. I prefer the chipstack odds!
I have done some background snooping on the players I have been drawn to start day 2 with. My table draw is not at all interesting compared with yesterday’s pro-tastic tables I played at.
Seat 1. Sonny Dominique (Canada) 16,500
$11k live earnings
Seat 2. Jason Lipiner (USA) 34,600
$19k live earnings
Seat 3. Me (Austria
) 68,400
$37k live earnings
Seat 4. Alexander Freund (Austria) 52,100
$472k live earnings
Seat 5. Joshua Tieman (USA) 8,800
$985k live earnings, one WSOP bracelet, 4 final tables
Seat 6. James Hoeppner (USA) 14,000
$1.15M live earnings
Blinds 1000/1500 with 1500/3000 limits to start day 2 and play gets underway in just under two hours.
I’ll provide updates as and when I can.
Thanks again guys,
DD
