Ah man, he got Cramlington, no fair

No idea if my list is any good or not, but I have Las Vegas uh oh lol

List of players would be great thanks

It's hard to scroll

Oh cheers lol

Bring it on next year i'll be playing in the main event so who fancies picking me?

It's not too late: you could buy a "pick yer own" and put the entire $20 on Cramlington.

Cramlington only has one player (Ian Simpson) but he has over $1,000,000 is live cashes. Don't write off Cramlington just yet.

I've updated the odds and teams selected. The links back on page 9 will give you the updated info.

Here's a list of your entire roster.

I see you have Karachi, Pakistan. That means that if this guy comes through for you, you'll be $1000 richer (as the odds stand right now):

Nice! Will have a proper look later on, Owais Ahmed ftw

For those who will be watching their players on streaming services this year:
PokerGo has farmed out a lot of their content to something called "CBS All Access". That means if you want to watch all the action you'll need to subscribe to 2 services.
Good news: looks like CBS All Access has a "one month free" introduction.
Better news: if you don't live in a part of the world that has access to CBS All Access you can watch everything on PokerGo.

Just 5 days left.
When I saw Owais Ahmed get picked for the first time yesterday I wondered how many other good players are out there that haven't been picked.
Two high rollers came to mind right away. But are they too "high roller" to bother with the Main Event? One cashed in 2013. The other cashed in 2009 & 2015. Their names are being withheld because some of you might be eyeing them right now and you don't want me to spill the beans.
Then I looked at teams starting with the letter "A". How many have at least one player with at least 5 cashes last year AND have not been picked by anyone? The answer: 8. Eight just from the letter "A". So, there's got to be 100+ players with 5+ cashes last year that haven't been picked yet. You know what that tells you!

I saw one of the best players post his summer schedule yesterday and he had 10 tourneys at the Aria listed. How many others will join him at the Aria?
The ones who won't are bracelet hunters, POY hunters and people with bracelet bets.
We know Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu fit in that category.
Any others? Haven't seen any bracelet bets mentioned on Twitter.

Just looking at the schedule. The first broadcast of interest to us will be on June 2nd.
The May 30th 10K Super Turbo won't mean anything because everyone at the final table will have already won their ticket.
The May 31st employee's tournament isn't part of this pool.
June 2nd: $1500 FLO8. There will be only 2 or 3 tickets available for these eight final tableists to fight over. It will be intense!

Nice, looking forward to it hopefully I can watch everything on PokerGo over here in the UK as we don't have CBS

This is the most confusing thing I've ever seen. I miss the old pool!

Just for fun, I ran the numbers. No names will be mentioned so I don't give away any picks that others have already done the research for.
There are 6732 cashes that haven't been picked yet.
Those 6732 cashes represent 4718 players.
621 of those players had $10,000 or more of buyins where they cashed
670 of those players had $20,000 or more in payouts
210 of those had 4 or more cashes
106 of those had 5 or more cashes
5 of those had 10 or more cashes

I think there is still value to be found.

A comment on Twitter said only USA, Canada and Australia had CBS All Access. If correct, you're one of the lucky ones.

That's why I added the quickpick and the entry by questionnaire.
However, the scoring will be very easy - no calculating at all.

Just checked if I'd specified that in order to win a ticket you must cash. I see I just said "top finishers". Just to be absolutely clear I changed that wording to "top in-the-money finishers".
If you spot anything else that isn't clear, please let me know.

Not quite sure what's going on, but I'm excited.


Sent via PayPal and completed the questionnaire entry form. Anything else I need to do?

Here are your teams.
Sorry, you didn't get Negreanu. Doubling his results from last year didn't help too much as he didn't do very good last year. Doubling the whole Toronto team would have helped more.
Surprised you didn't block Las Vegas (or Nevada). Las Vegas still only paying $15.
You didn't ask for long shots but you did get 5 teams that are currently set to pay the maximum of $1000 (Van Nuys, Oakville, Albany, Ogden, Alliance).

Philadelphia PAUnited States
Cranston RIUnited States
Jacksonville FLUnited States
Austin TXUnited States
Barcelona - Spain
Wheeling ILUnited States
Van Nuys CAUnited States
Las Vegas NVUnited States
New York NYUnited States
Oakville - Canada
Athens - Greece
Birmingham ALUnited States
Albany NYUnited States
Ogden UTUnited States
Baton Rouge LAUnited States
Los Angeles CAUnited States
Pasadena CAUnited States
Eugene ORUnited States
Alliance OHUnited States
Los Angeles CAUnited States

Running extremely hot right now is TyperD's Shannon Shorr (Birmingham AL):

And thanks for your entry.
Good luck.
You'll certainly have lots of players to root for with Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York.

I've updated the current payouts and the picked teams list.

Any updates on anyone running an “old style” pool for WSOP?
