However, the live updates show the 36th finisher as SnapShove with an Irish flag
https://www.wsop.com/tournaments/upd...rr=5&curpage=2 (Eliminations 28-36 ($7,315))
Hendon Mob lists the 36th place as going to Max Silver while
Poker News lists SnapShove (is that Max Silver's WSOP.com username?) as finishing in place 36.
Event 68 started on June 30 and finished in the early hours of July 1. Daniel talks about just busting from this event on his July 1
video blog starting at the 11:39 mark. He makes no mention of cashing and in the next scene proceeds to the dinner break in the live event he's playing. The clip from Amanda says there are 322 people remaining in the tournament. Those timings don't necessarily line up, but it sure doesn't sound like he finished in 36th place.
Not saying that he didn't get the POY points somewhere else, but the reporting of the event definitely appears to be messed up.
