You have to remember though, this is a very pro-heavy field. Look at the top 300 from the Main Event in Vegas this year, and you won't recognise anywhere near as many names.

#13 14-09-2007, 12:49 PM

Some big names with big stacks

#14 14-09-2007, 12:59 PM

Why not just print the day 3 runners Ian? The above is only half of the remaining field.

Because day 2a is posted above it and this way you can see who has gone out and when

#16 14-09-2007, 1:23 PM

But there are more players still in than your chart shows?

#17 14-09-2007, 2:02 PM

To clear things up

Here are the tables and chip counts for Day 3.

The field from both day 2's will combine today and all 84 players will return for the start of Day 3 at 2pm. It should be an interesting day, with the 2 chip leaders Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius set to clash, after being randomly drawn on the same table.

36 players will make the money, but only one player can be crowned Champion and take home the £1,000,000 first prize.

Play will continue throughout the day, until at least 36 players remain and the money is reached. It will be reassessed towards the end of the day, and possibly play deeper into the money depending on the time. Players who survive today will come back on Saturday for Day 4, where the final table will be reached.

The table and seat allocation is as follows:

John Ridge 57000 1.0 1

36 Pay-Outs ITM

Entrants = 362 (a little on the low side i thought)
Buy In = £10,000 ($20,000) could well be the reason why

Place 1st = £1,000,000 ($2,000,000)
36th = £27,150 ($54,300)

Daniel Negreanu has just took a huge beat and is eliminated. He pushed with AQ and was called by KQ, i think the flop was 234, turn 5. So, a 6 would split and only the king would win it for his opponent.
YEP, the river was a King!

#22 14-09-2007, 10:46 PM

I don't know what it really was, but I guaruntee you that Negreanu's straight wasn't cracked by a pair of kings

I thought i might get this wrong (i couldnt really see the flop), but i was too lazy to check. lol
Heres what really happened.

Daniel Negreanu Eliminated

Over at the featured TV table, Daniel Negreanu was fighting for his tournament life with a short stack. He lost most of his chips when Janne Lamsa caught a flush against him. Kid Poker hoped that he could get some of them back when he tangled with Lamsa in another hand.

Lamsa opened for a 10,000 raise. Negreanu moved all in for 37,300.

"Poker gets easy when you're short stacked," said Negreanu. "I don't care either way what you do."

After a minute of thinking, Lamsa called.

Negreanu:

Lamsa:

Negreanu was ahead. The flop was

. The turn was the

giving Lamsa an opportunity to chop if a 6 fell. Lamsa's only chance to win the hand would be if a King spiked on the river. The dealer burned, then dealt the

. Lamsa won the pot on a three-outer.

Negreanu shook his head and said, "I would have settled for a six and the chop."

Negreanu got a loud applause from the audience as he headed to the rail.

Annette_15 Wins WSOPE Main Event & Becomes Youngest Bracelet Winner

By Pauly from Tao of Poker:Pauly's Poker Blog

-London

Annette_15 is three days shy of her 19th birthday. She's been playing poker for almost four years. And guess what? Not only did she win the WSOPE main event, she also became the youngest bracelet winner in the history of the WSOP.
Annette_15 won the equivalent of $2 million US for her epic victory in the WSOPE main event. She busted Annie Duke and Jen Harman en route to her first place finish.
362 players bought into the first ever WSOPE £10,000 main event championship. After one grueling week of poker, spread out over three different casinos, we have our final table of nine fortunate souls, one of which will take home a first place prize of £1,000,000. In US dollars, that's a cool $2 million. Of course, the prize pool fell short of that mark, but BetFair.com added prize money to the pool so first place could win £1 million.

The payouts were top heavy and not much different between 11th and 36th place. That meant action on Day 4 was fast paced. There were 10 bustouts in the first two hours of play.

WSOP Main Event Final Table (with seating assignments and chip counts):

Seat 1: Johannes Korsar (Uppsala, Sweden) - 1,134,000

Seat 2: Oyvind Riisem (Bergen, Norway) - 664,000

Seat 3: John Tabatabai (London, UK) - 982,000

Seat 4: Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad (Sandnes, Norway) - 697,000

Seat 5: Dominic Kay (London, UK) - 490,000

Seat 6: Matthew McCullough (Cherry Hill, NJ, USA) - 1,278,000

Seat 7: Theo Jorgensen (Copenhagen, Denmark) - 605,000

Seat 8: Magnus Persson (Gothenburg, Sweden) - 1,231,000

Seat 9: James Keys (Bury St. Edmunds, UK) - 172,000

Final Table Payouts:

1 - £1,000,000

2 - £570,150

3 - £381,910

4 - £257,020

5 - £191,860

6 - £152,040

7 - £114,030

8 - £85,070

9 - £61,540

Gus Hansen bubbled off the final table in 10th palce on a cooler. He went out with the Hilton Sisters versus Matt McCullough's pocket Kings. That hand propelled McCullough into the chiplead. He's the only American at the final table. When I asked him if her preferred to or by Matt or Matthew, he said, "Matt. Unless I win, then it will be Sir Matt!"

All eyes are on Annette_15. I predicted that she'd win in yesterday's post. She took over the chiplead at one point, then got crippled when she three-bet all in with 3-3, only to lose to the Hilton Sisters. She looks like she's in high school (because she is). She speaks nearly perfect English and has been chatting it up with Change100 all week.

Here's the bio that I wrote about her for Poker News:

Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad

Hometown: Sandnes, Norway

Chip Count: 697,000

If you play online poker tournaments, you have probably come across Annette_15. She's been taking the poker world by storm over the last few months. Her real name is Annette Obrestad. The 19-year old student is from a coastal town in southwest Norway that was once considered the herring capital of the world. These days, it's the home town of one of the best online poker players in the world.

Some people consider her to be the best female No-Limit Hold'em player in the world. Some consider her the best NL tournament player under 21-years old in the world. And others consider her one of the best online NL tournament player... period. It's hard to argue with her outstanding record.

Her appearance at the final table marks her coming out party. For the first time, the poker world can catch a glimpse of the prodigy. She's often in the top spot on Pocket Five's leaderboard and has won their Triple Crown. Most people don't know about her yet, because she's not old enough to play in US-based tournaments.

Annette_15 has been crushing the competition online over the last year. In the first two weeks of May of this year, she's earned over $68,000! That's substantially more money than most adults make in a single year. She final tabled the $2,500 buy-in World Championship of Online Poker main event on PokerStars last year. Last month, she took down the $500K on Full Tilt, where she put on a clinic at the final table.

There's a rumor floating around that she started playing online poker at the ripe age of 15, hence the screen name Annette_15. She got her first exposure to poker from her father who taught her how to play five-card stud and seven-card stud as a young girl. She eventually signed up for an online poker account and as the legend goes, her mother refused to let her fund an account with a credit card so Annette_15 ended up winning $9 in a freeroll and has not looked back since.

At the tables, Annete_15 is fearless. She's tough to read and is willing to play any two cards. She's an aggressive player and will re-raise you with absolutely nothing if she senses the slightest weakness. She's a shark at the tables and often destroys veteran NL players, which is mind blowing because most girls her age are more interested in going to the mall or spending endless hours on the phone instead of multi-tabling several tournaments.

Annette_15 busted Annie Duke at the featured TV table on Day 4. She also busted Jen Harman. At one point Annette_15 held the chiplead. She comes into the final table 5th in chips. She is trying to become the youngest WSOP bracelet winner of all time.

#29 17-09-2007, 7:21 AM

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Jamie Gold!!!

He placed 35th out of this hard field of pros.

Hes legit.

This is just what he needed to boost his confidence.

Congrats Jamie!

#30 17-09-2007, 11:53 AM

Annette was a well deserved winner. There was a lot of talk about her history of online success and she really showed what a player she was yesterday.

John played good too, from the get-go of the final table you could really see it was going to be one of those two who would take it down.

Congrats to Annette on being the first woman to win a $1m+ WSOP prize, and of course the youngest person ever to win a WSOP bracelet.

#31 17-09-2007, 12:12 PM

She's a superstar, that's for sure. She was on a major major push online before this game, but this has got to catapult her right into the top handful of players.

Hopefully this will be the end of the "pretty but clueless" group of female players like Isabelle Mercier, Erica Schoneburg (or whaterver her name is) and Evelyn Ng, who poker magazines and websites seem to think we'll be interested in.

#32 17-09-2007, 1:12 PM

I'd be pissed if I was Bilirakis (I think that's the guy who was 21 and 11 days this year and won)

WSOP: Europe is like having The Olympics: Japan

WSOPE, Event 3 - £10,000 NLHE, Final Table: Annette Obrestad Makes History

September 17, 2007
John 'Falstaff' Hartness

Norway's Annette 'Annette_15' Obrestad became both the youngest person to ever win a World Series bracelet and the first woman to ever win a WSOP Main Event title when she finished atop a field of 362 entrants in the first-ever World Series of Poker Europe £10,000 Main Event tournament. In winning the WSOP Europe bracelet, Obrestad not only won the largest buy-in Main Event in WSOP history, she also bested a field larger than all pre-1999 Main Event fields. The 19-year-old Norwegian truly earned the right to call herself a World Champion when she came out on top of a grueling final table that lasted even longer than the 2007 Main Event final table in Las Vegas.

Obrestad started the day in the middle ofthe pack, with starting chip stacks for the finalists as follows:

Seat 1: Johannes Korsar - 1,134,000
Seat 2: Oyvind Riisem - 664,000
Seat 3: John Tabatabai - 982,000
Seat 4: Annette Obrestad - 697,000
Seat 5: Dominic Kay - 490,000
Seat 6: Matthew McCullough - 1,278,000
Seat 7: Theo Jorgensen - 605,000
Seat 8: Magnus Persson - 1,231,000
Seat 9: James Keys - 172,000

James Keys started the day on the short stack, and got all his chips in the middle on the third hand of the day, moving all in from the small blind with
