-This game is for WSOP Vegas only
-Nationality is determined by HendonMob Flag
-Previous cashes/earnings/bracelets includes everything up to but not including for the event in question
-Europe/Asia does count for former bracelet winners
-Anything that can't be confirmed by official WSOP reporting will likely be deemed incorrect
-Angleshooting will likely result in an incorrect answer. If in doubt ask.

OTHER THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW BUT AREN’T OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
-Reveals will be periodically through the summer as I find a little time and as the true results are revealed.
-I will try my best to get the winner of this game the custom undertitle “WSOP 2018 PEEHS WINNER”. I don’t see this being a problem provided we get at least 50 entries.
-If multiple of your answers to #22 are correct then the best answer you gave goes towards your score, but the other ones go against your opponents’ score.
-Here's a list of the WSOP Events to get you started

A few people asked about how I would know if someone played a certain event since they don't publish full entrant lists anymore.

Let me refer you to the notes:

So Q1 will not be fully determined for a long time, so I've going to reveal what people picked now.

Normally I'll reveal after we know what's correct or not, but this is a little taster to see what sort of level people are on.

It's a shame that more people didn't enter because it makes risky answers more risky and safe answers worse value.

But we've got 14 people playing and I'll try to make the game as fun as possible for those who participated

Mostly real slam dunk answers by everyone

The biggest risks in my opinion are the 3k and the 1500 mix game

- Last year's 1500 mix game attracted 472 entrants
- Last year's 3k 6max attracted 959 entrants

A reminder that an incorrect answer will score as much as the sheep + 1 point for each different correct answer given. If a single person is wrong in this question then they would score 12 points.

I'm mostly regretting the picks where I just chose an obscure friend that I'm quite sure will play the event :/

"likely deemed incorrect" is not the same as "will be deemed incorrect"

I'm sure you can come up with some sort of evidence that I can accept as proof

Failing that he needs to do something completely outrageous to make sure he gets some live reporting done on him

"Hey man, can you take a selfie with your stack and your players card?"

"um ok why?"

"Just f***ing do it or I'm not buying 90% of your action in this event ever again"

Reveal Time!

2). Name the nationality of a player that will be at the final two tables of Event #2

10 different answers were given to this one from 14 different players.

I'm sure that if people realised that there were going to only be 14 entrants then they would have played it a little more safe.

I'm going to reveal the answers from worst to best

INCORRECT

Recreational Player - Argentinian
BingeThinker - Australian
Gujanator - Israeli
The Mentaculus - Italian
True North - Spanish
darrinc - Swedish

We have a bunch of joint worst answers given from these 6 guys.

Not only did people of these nationalities not make the final 2 tables, they didn't even cash!

So these tables were 9 handed which means that you needed to finish in the top 18 to be considered a correct answer.

Our next incorrect only could manage 25th place

Incorrect - Brazilian

Final and perhaps most surprising incorrect answer could only manage to get a 21st place

Incorrect - Canadian

Onto the correct answers...

Our first correct answer is the most obvious one. If the aim of the game was just to be correct then I'm sure we'd all go for this one

17 of the 18 final two tablists were of this nationality. Here's an example of one of them

Correct - American - 3 points

Smitty300
that_pope
Richiegone

So we finish off with an ACE

Like I previously said 17 of the 18 players were American leaving space for 1 more nationality which our final player correctly chose

Correct - British - 1 point

So incorrect points are calculated as the sheep score + the number of different correct answers given.

Sheep was 3 (American) and 2 correct answers were given (American and British) and so all incorrect answers score 5 points today.

Scores look like this after 1 question revealed:

Player	Points
Tchan	1
Richiegone	3
Smitty300	3
that_pope	3
BingeThinker	5
darrinc	5
eleanor60	5
Gujanator	5
PeteBlow	5
Recreational Player	5
The Mentaculus	5
True North	5
Wilbury Twist	5
xander biscuits	5

3). Name someone with at least $500,000 in cashes on The Hendon Mob who will play Event #3 and/or Event #4

I've scoured the chip counts and live reporting and this is what I can find.

I'm willing to correct the scores if Yueqi Zhu is also known as Daniel Zhu (Doubt it though since he'd be known by Rich if anything else).

PeteBlow	Adam Owen	1
True North	Mike Matusow	1
Richiegone	Phil Hellmuth	2
that_pope	Phil Hellmuth	2
eleanor60	John Beauprez	5
Wilbury Twist	Barry Greenstein	5
Recreational Player	Bryn Kenny	5
BingeThinker	Adrian Mateos	5
Gujanator	Gover Metaal	5
Smitty300	Jonathan Little	5
Tchan	Yueqi Zhu	5
darrinc	Kevin Song	5
The Mentaculus	Bruce Yamron	5
xander biscuits	Jonathan Little	5

I'm going to accept that as proof even though it's not iron clad and will adjust the scores accordingly.

TChan gets an ACE and the incorrect score for the question is now 6

Here are the totals:

Richiegone	5
that_pope	5
PeteBlow	6
True North	6
Smitty300	9

Let's reveal the next 2 questions:

4). Name a former bracelet winner who will play Event #5

Lots of possible correct answers here and lots of different correct answers given. This makes the penalty for being incorrect a little more painful...
