With the lower number of entries, it appears they decided to go with 4 levels for the first 2 days.

Day 1a chip counts

Alexander Grischuk is near the top of the pack which is totally awesome since he's one of the greatest chess players around and always comes off like an all around good guy.

ESPN's coverage of the main event starts in mid-August. Final table in November.

Taking the over usually means if you set a line for something (Team A will beat Team B in football by 7 and someone asks if they'll take the over, they went to bet it will be over 7 and you win if it's under 7). In this case, whoever said that about your post thinks there will be more entries then you guessed.

Does everyone like the televised final table in November? I forgot to look for it and had no idea who won until the National Heads-Up tournament and the Eastgate kid was mentioned. Aside from him not making good TV because he's 'boring', did he get his publicity due when he won last November?

They also butchered a few hours of HU down to 2 hands just crammed in like an afterthought.

from wsop.com

This hand makes like zero sense.
Did sb put in around 30bb pre flop with 43s?
Did he make a huge overbet?

It was probably a limped pot with 4bets on the flop, right?
Stacking off with trips no kicker 300bb deep in a limped pot, weee.

Really depends if Jonas raised PF or not. Donkey could have put him on a big pair and thought he'd trapped Jonas....

Besides, obviously he was blinded by The Power of 4. Hard to blame him, from here anyways...
