Damn Raymer took a hit late last night.. Atleast he got a decent table.

Looks like they are way ahead of schedule.. If they get down to 9 tonite, are they going to hold the final table on Thursday or Friday as schedule?

[itsmesteve]

They're gonna play down to 27 today, I believe.

[chicane]

Why the disparity in table size-from 7 to 10 players?

[jdaddy]

Day 5 - Wednesday, July 13: Play starts at 12:00 noon. Play will continue until it is down to the final three tables, which is 27 players.


Day 6 - Thursday, July 14: This is the first day of action at Binion's Horseshoe downtown. Play will begin at 3:00 pm, and continue until the final ten players are at the same table. They will then continue playing at the TV table until the unfortunate TV bubble is burst, and only nine players are left.


Day 7 - Friday, July 15: The Final Table! By the time the final table starts at 2:00 pm, you should know everything about these nine people, from their first poker game to their most recent tournament victory. They play down to a single winner, who will become the 2005 World Series of Poker champion.

i actually know the kid in 44th place. this is pretty cool following this.

[Klepton]

posting again for the start of day 5...

wow, first table is gonna be ESPN

raymer and ivey are on tables full of nobodys, good stuff

and i didn't even notice hung la was still in it (regular from commerce, plays 100-200 limit and higher)

to raymer, matusow, ivey, juanda, la, i wanna say this:



PS - omg the luske copying jerkoff is still in it [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

[DCIAce]

Raymer, Ivey, and Juanda all drew pretty good tables. Neverwin picked up a bad draw, on what I'm guessing with be ESPN's feature table.

[Wynton]

At this stage, is the seating supposed to be totally random?

[TaoTe]

It shouldn't take all night to make it to 27 so the players should all be able to have some time off and come back well rested the next day.
