12:35pm: A quickie on Fricke
The table folded to Daniel Sindelar who put in a raise to 10,500 from the cutoff, then Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke quickly announced he was all in from the button. The blinds each thought about it, but got out, as did Sindelar. Fricke has chipped up some here in the early going and now has 155,000.

Now hand for hand

ty Kevmath. He was pretty bummed this morning, hope that helped. PN is back up now.

Bubble just burst, rekrul finishes 129th. They're also doing a redraw.

bubbled

busto 120th for mincash, shoved A4s in CO for 20bbs, got tankcalled by bb by A3o, 3 on flop gg me

Bubble burst. I immediately win a flip to get me to 650K, and immediately lose a 800k+ pot to an online player I don't recognize. Sighhhhhhhh.

Chipped back up to 300ish though. Still above average. Tough table though with Smokey, CL on my left, and a few others.

There's a lot of potential for a really nice televised final table for online players. Several nosebleed guys left, several MTT superstars left. Not many TV stars left though.

Quote of the level from the masseuse. The dealer gets out of the box and nearly trips over her leg, she says "It's okay, my legs are always spread all over the place".

sigh 98thish, lost aqo to fatal errors a6s to get back to 25bbs, oh well gl all but kyle zartman is winning this tournament

This Dan Shak guy must be real good at pokerz (LOL) .... he sis running deep in a lot of tourneys lately, and with less than 90 players left, still in the ME ...

you might have busted me...my 88 vs AK for over 500k. and u prob lost a big pot to the kid on ur left who is blizair. glgl

I'm really tilted I think I got shutout of the HR jeff sarwer wanted in as well so poorly planned by stars staff. No one was ever sure what was going on I was supposed to be on the alternate list long before I ever got on I'm really frustrated at the moment this is so sad I wasn't approached when this event was first announced. I'm heading to venetien to the draw party to hopefully bitch my way or someone backs out but man I'm really pissed.

On a good sidenote if this fails I think I'm doing commentary tomorrow at 12:30 pst either with fatalerror but he will still be in the event so I'm trying to convince someone else to join me on broadcast could be really good

just busted 72th, had 400k in chips blinds 4000-8000 i raise cutoff for 20k btn calls, sb makes it 75 i jam for 340 more with ak , and he calls with 88, never thought he would call 88 there,

Only 7 at your table?

Also, MTC at 1.1m

wow.

hi dcarp!

any chance you'll consider moving the entire DSE series away from smoke, slots, tourists, etc to a separate ballroom? i understand if you need the tourists to rail the stars, etc, but the smoke and other distractions in the outside area could be better. i played three 340s and the ME and was very happy with most everything else about the series! also, any chance the NAPT makes a return to Venetian within the year? (ala WPT having multiple events @ Bellagio).

thanks again.

Table draws for 25k "Invitational"

obv every table in this mtt is going to be ridiculously hard, but table 6 has to be the last table i'd ever want to end up at.

3 women at one table? random draw?

Busto in 61st in the napt, AK < KK for like 900k pot sigh.

Lol, Hellmuth and Admo are pretty much drawing dead in that field, as well as the females and satelite winner.

gg you're still my hero
