Alright I got Blondefish and Actyper into day 2. Come on Westside next. With 3 going to day 2 we can get a run going to get you guys into the money and me to Aruba.
Confirmed. I am trying to scout my listed opponents below. I also hope to update the strategy sheets that a friend and I had prepared for every level until the final table in November.
- Helio Chreem; Rio De Janeiro, Brazil; only 3500 chips (1,802th in Day 1D)
- Ray Coburn; Jackson, NJ; 68,100 (#351 in Day 1D)
- John Moore; Columbia, MD; 74,575 chips (#161 in Day 1C)
- Jeremy Renz; Green Bay, NJ; 50,400 (#406)
- Vernon Green; Rancho Cucamonga, CA; 15,200 (#988 )
- Kevin McGavan; Medford, NJ; 65,725 (#227)
- Hanz Winzler; Miami, FL; 82,650 (#114)
- Dieter Albrecht; Erienbach, Switzerland; 24,325 (#843)
- Thomas Marchese; Parsippany, NJ; 56,750 (#312).
Confirmed. I am trying to scout my 7 listed opponents below, but haven't found much information so far. I also hope to update the strategy sheets that a friend and I had prepared for every level until the final table in November.
PM me if you want to talk strategy, I'm not going to post my suggestions here since your opponents could read it.

PMed. I've stopped playing the side games so I can spend the entire day at the Rio preparing for Day 2B. There will be a record 3,006 players for Day 2B which is beyond Rio's capacity, so I wonder if some of the Day 1D players will have to play in the parking lot tomorrow! :biggrin:
Thanks. How did you find it (I couldn't find it through a Google search)?
I just noticed that the integrity of Main Event has been affected with Day 2B having ten-player tables, while every other day including today's 2A has 9-player tables. Hopefully, the WSOP did the right thing by breaking some tables at the end of today's Level 5 to change from 9 to 10-player tables, making it equivalent to Day 2B players. The WSOP should never have shortened Day 1A & 1B to 4 levels, while Day 1C & 1D players had to grind 5 levels, then play one less level on Day 2. Even PartyPoker's Leaderboard Challenge was affected, where Day 1A/B players had an unfair advantage over Day 1C/D players in making it to Day 2.
I updated my list of opponents below, and it looks like Ray "exitlonly" Coburn is the toughest player. I'm not sure if Vernon Green is the former Toronto Maple Leaf who is supposed to have over $345,000 in WSOP and other winnings. Only Chreem and McGavan may be newbies to big events.
I think he is trying to blind himself out hoping for a free tshirt btw, the payouts have been released and 1st gets $8.5MM US. That should motivate him a little.
As I posted before, I wouldn't know Twitter from a fritter, and my new iPod Touch is gathering dust in the in-room safe. After two levels, we are on a dinner break until 6:15 PM Vegas time. I am currently at 59,200 at the end of Level 7, with two more levels to go.
Even though 10 player-tables were listed online, the integrity of the Main Event was maintained with all 9-player tables. After scouting all the players beforehand, my table was of course one of the first to be broken. :rolleyes: There was only one other PartyPoker qualifier who also researched his entire table, and his table was also broken up early.
After getting my AA cracked in the WSOP satellites, cash games and the WSOP last year, I 3-bet to 4,000 with AA. Tight player folds his 1,800 raise. The lone fish on the table calls. With 11,375 in the pot, I bet 8,000 on the J-10 flop. Fish tanks and my read on his body language is that he thinks he's strong, and he eventually calls. He fires a bet on the turn and I make the call. There is a four-card straight on the river and he fires another bet. Expecting my AA to have been cracked again, I make the crying call and he shows only A-J.
The players on my new table M296 are:
Gerin, Stephan
Flakstad, Andreas
Fisher, Dan
Wattel, Mike
Marches, Mark
Hale, Brant
Bolling, Rick

Sweet. Keep it going buddy. I have you projected at 112,500 by the end of the night.
Just said bye to Buddy, which wasn't easy considering he was a couple of tables away from Ivey - meaning a pretty big crowd by the rail. He looks locked in and in good shape - go Buddy!

You mean with the Sapphire's girls giving the car wash right next to the players?

Ok, maybe they don't anyways... I found it in a thread on 2+2....

Haha... good luck today Buddy!
Don't forget the $100k freeroll for pokerforum.ca if you win (or at least make it to Nov.)
I'm IN!:)
If Buddy comes 1st I will add at least 1k to that
