2006 WSOP Main Event...

I still can't believe how far ahead of schedule they are... They got down to 27 while I was playing last night - BEFORE out dinner break, as I recall. That's a full day and a half ahead of schedule. I heard they may play to 9 today and give the players off tomorrow, but that was still undecided when I left. With the FT being PPV, I don't see them changing it, and the off day makes the most sense. Make sure everyone is well rested.

Prahlad Friedman has just been busted 21st...

Allen Cunningham is 2nd in chips with 13 million... I think he has a real chance of winning the whole thing.

I would love to see a pro win this event to tell you the truth.

Me too.... And no one can say anything bad about Alan, so I'm rooting for him. He's a bit quieter than some of our recent Main Event winners, but I think he'd make an excellent chamption.

Hes VERY underrated, he cashes aleast 5 or 6 times every WSOP and is very good.

He doesnt get the respect that he deserves, all that will change tho if he takes this down.

I think anyone getting to this point in the tourney gets some cred, but if he wins it will be the single largest accomplishment of any player in poker history...8700+ requires an anti-donkey tank and some forizzle skills, hope he wins.

To be honest, I'd never heard of him (to the best of my knowledge - I MAY have seen him play on TV but just don't remember) until TP had him picked for that event he won - thus propelling TP FAR into the lead in the league.

But I've been watching him and he's done well in almost every (if not every) event he's played this year. So yeah, I'm rootin' for him too!

Plus, I haven't checked the people ahead of TP in the league, but if Cunningham wins this, TP could very well WIN the FTP fantasy league!!!!

I have Cunningham in my A Group, but so does the guy it first place, meaning I can't pass him. I may get a Top 10 overall finish though, depending on who everyone else selected, and that's pretty cool considering the size of the field. 4000+, right?

Indeed, and would be nice to see an established pro make it through this jungle.

Also, nice sig TP.
