Stuff...
Three days 'til Vegas! Yippeeee! Will try to update the blog a little more regular than of late.
I played my 2nd ever matchplay round yesterday... the Smiths Industries Golf Society Summer KO. Only 14 entries, I dodged the prelim round and went straight into the 1/4 final. After a great start, getting 4-up through six holes, the rot set in in the middle part of the round but I held on to go down the 18th 1-up, finally winning by 2 holes. Into the semi's now, to play against either 'The Accountant' or 'The Solicitor'.
And with the results, or least the cashees, in for the first 17 WSOP events the Mob Fanatsy WSOP league table looks like this -

Fantasy WSOP Update (iii)...
With seven of the 57 bracelet events in the record books we have all added a few more points (well, 'A' point in Rich's case!), but there is no change in the standings.
| Paul | 6 |
| Alan | 4 |
| Teresa | 3 |
| Rich | 1 |
There may be some movement in the table over the next day or two... with [my] Cap'n Phil already in the money and well placed to make the final table of event 8... and plenty of team players still in the mix in event 10, the $10k 7-card stud world championship.

'Badbeat' Good For thegame....
Neil 'Badbeat' Channing has made the final table of event #6, the $5k NLHE Shootout, locking up at least 3 more points for thegame... Akenhead & Ferguson both eliminated, scoring just 1 point.
I have picked up one more point, courtesy of Jon 'Pearljammer' Turner who crept into the money in event #7, $2.5k 2-7 Triple Draw.

Fantasy WSOP Update...
Not suprisingly no-one picked up any points from Event #1, the $500 Casino Employees NLHE... the only completed event thus far. With 21 players left at the end of day 2 of Event #2, the $50k 8-game Players Championship, both me (Erik Seidel) and Paul (John Juanda) are still in the hunt to open the scoring - 16 get paid.
The first bracelet winner of 2010... yesterday.Event #3, the first of the $1000 NLHE donkaments and Event #4, $1500 Omaha H/L are also underway.
Another day or two and there will be events finishing daily and the points [for my team] will start flowing in. I hope Paul isn't expecting too many early points from Captain Oberstad... she's still in Norway at the moment!

Fantasy WSOP 2010...
It looks like the Witney (inc. Carterton) Mob will having their own £5 entry, winner takes all*, WSOP Fantasy Team competition. It will be based on the comp running at blonde poker - http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=48014.0
*It is likely that thegame will try to negotiate some kind of a saver for 2nd place... or even 3rd as well. :-)
I will be entering the same team that I have in the blonde comp i.e.
Brits - JP Kelly
WSOP ME Winners – Chris Ferguson
HSP6 – Phil Ivey
Online - Jon "Pearljammer" Turner
Big Dogs – Phil Helmuth (Captain)
Shrewdies & All Sorts – Vanessa Rousso
Wild Card 1 – Men Nguyen
Wild Card 2 – Erik Seidel
Teresa has picked a team also, but clearly not overly confident as she doesn't want to enter the official competition... or as she put it, "I don't want to waste a fiver!"
Hopefully Paul and Rich will post their teams on their respective blogs before the series starts on Friday.
You will be able to monitor progress HERE, if I can work out how to use it!

And Your Point Is?
Pics tweetted by Daniel Negreanu...
"The view from my room. Awesome skiing in warm weather. You all should come to EPT Snowfest next year."
"My view from London. Um ya, not quite the same as Austria."
"The view from my room at Mohegan Sun. This place seems A LOT nicer than Foxwoods."
"The view from my room in Monte Carlo."
