WSOP fantasy challenge

He was talking about the chimp, I think. Not that there's much of a difference.

[WickedSmaat]

Well just because I can, and I know I'm not participating though I would have, I'll just throw out someone I think could win it: Darrell Dicken a.k.a. gigabet. Few years ago I played with him a lot online and got to know him. Good guy, hope he plays well.

Goooosh. Come on. My team is killing me here.

[Pogotheostrich]

Day off today. Play starts up again on Friday with everyone finally playing at the same time.

giants! can't win it alone. Best he can do is tie. With Ivey, Ferguson and Negraneau being his only live players and dalluz, Madison and Mookie having them too.

I still can't find a complete chip count anywhere so here's what I do have.

Pogo: 4 live, 1 ?
Perlick: 1 live, 7 ?
giants!: 3 live
Snakes G: 4 live, 1 ?
1337_dude: 3 live, 1 ?
dalluz: 5 live, 1 ?
Jimboozie: 1 live, 3 ?
Madison: 3 live, 1 ?
Mookie: 4 live

Here's a list of the ? if anyone has some reliable news.
Yakov Hirsch
Ben Johnson
Ricky Grijalva
Dan Hart
Ethan Scharipa
Assani Fisher
Michael Mizrachi
John Phan
Mark Seif
Todd Brunson
Howard Lederer
Mike Gracz

I'm assuming Brunson and Lederer are out since I didn't see them listed in the chip count and they are pretty big names but I haven't seen them listed as eliminated so we wait.

Also everyone took Phil Ivey so he isn't a difference maker.

Guess predicting WSOP is not my specialty

Guess predicting WSOP is not my specialty

It seems that way for most of us.

[Jimboozie]

Go Phil Ivey!!!

So, I guess Dan Harrington is eliminated. Too many people have read his books and know how to play against him now.

I'm glad Raymer is knocked out. I would have been up to my eyes in envy had he made it deep into the money three straight years.

It is hard to say since there isn't exactly a lot of data for it but if it makes to feel any better there were 8,725 entrants and only 1400 remain. That is about 16%. Statistically if you were to pick 10 random names you should have 1-2 left.
