WCOOP Main Event...
 
$2500+100
1494 entries
$3.7 million prizepool, which I assume is the largest in online poker history.

135 places get paid - $3735 minimum.

Make the final table and you are guaranteed over $56,000.

For the winner...................... $859,050! Holy!!!!!!

That is sick.

that is sick :( wish i had $3k for the buyin

Talking Poker 09-18-05 10:22 PM

They are under 250 players remaining. At a glance, I see Isabelle Mercier, Barry Greenstein, William Chen, and KrazyKanuk to name a few.

Hmmm.... I wonder who "WSOPchamp80" is. I'm thinking it's NOT Stu Unger.

drewjax 09-18-05 11:35 PM

Do they play under their real name? I dont see them. Who is krazykanuck?

Talking Poker 09-18-05 11:50 PM

I'm not sure what his real name is... He's a well known online pro. The others are: NoMercy, crazyplayer, and wchen respectively.

FYI:

ChipFish 09-18-05 11:51 PM

He's this really psycho Canadian guy.

Actually he works for UB not sure what his real name is. Some sort of professional.

Defendant 09-18-05 11:51 PM

Good guess TP!!

Talking Poker 09-18-05 11:54 PM

For bdawg (especially), Geoff and Lou:

That ActionJeff tard who was the shortstack in bdawg's event and wouldn't deal until everyone kicked him more money is still alive.

Currently 8th out of 127 players left.

Talking Poker 09-18-05 11:57 PM

That's right. He does work for UB.... I think I knew that.

johnp158 09-18-05 11:58 PM

ITM now. Harrington's still in. "pickled egg"

BrianSwa 09-19-05 12:18 AM

deals
 
cant wait to see the deals made at this final table.

Talking Poker 09-19-05 12:20 AM

You sure that's Harrington? Can you confirm that? I know that's someone and I have heard the Harrington rumors. I've also heard it's Bill Gazes.

Defendant 09-19-05 12:40 AM

I heard the Harrington rumor on the rail and Greenstein said its not him...

nutbag 09-19-05 01:35 AM

Defendant 09-19-05 02:12 AM

Live Broadcast?? where!!?!?!

Talking Poker 09-19-05 02:33 AM

Have you not heard about this? It's fantastic. Rick Charles ("The Voice of Poker") does all of them with someone else. Last night was Lee Jones. A few days before that was Barry Greenstein. When bdawg went deep, it was Wil Wheaton.

Really good listening... and I don't just mean the hand commentary. The general discussion is great.

junYUN 09-19-05 02:57 AM

where do you find it

Talking Poker 09-19-05 03:06 AM

There are links to it from:

-The popup window when you open stars
-The upper right section of the main lobby
-The upper right section of the tourney lobby

And likely elsewhere too :)

Looks like it should be starting any time now.

I'm probably going to miss most of tonight's, but for those who stay up for it, enjoy!

Talking Poker 09-19-05 03:08 AM

Ok, maybe I will stay up. Tonights commentators are: Rick Charles, Greg Raymer, and Barry Greenstein. Very nice!

Talking Poker 09-19-05 03:16 AM

The audio is going on right now.

Props to for hosting such a fantastic event.

nutbag 09-19-05 03:18 AM

tong g is wrapduck, intersting, lets see if he calls all in with j 4

Talking Poker 09-19-05 03:22 AM

Well, holy shit....

This "wraptduck" guy just went from 70k to over 1 million chips (he's currently second). And.......... according to the announcers (And confirmed by his chat), he is Tony G.

You know, this guy:


And now that just said Mark Seif is still in it. He also gave permission to reveal his screen name, but I missed it. I'll pay attention and update my list when they say it again.
