Is Olga Varkonyi the wife of the ex-champ? She's behind a nice stack of chips going into Day #3?

Yes, cardplayer talked about the fact they could be the first husband/wife winners. Wonder if she plays as "well" as he does?

I used to play with this guy quite a bit four or five years ago. He's very good. I wouldn't be surprised to see him make the top 100.

Go, judge!

The WSOP better watch out- Fossilman, with a lot of chips? That could be trouble...

If Dutch makes a miraculous effort and gets to the big cash spots, what are the odds of him paying off the Pokerspot victims?

Is the payout for Bubble Boy #561 (tourney directors are calling it "last place") $12,500, and the first person in the money (#560) is in the neighborhood of $20K? I thought I saw that info somewhere.

Bluff Magazine was offering free "bubble insurance" (free entry to the 2006 WSOP) to players who finish in spots 565-561, IF you wear their shirt the entire tournament.

According to multiple sources (including cardplayer), she is.

Big thread somewhere but paying 10% of the field and not the "normal" 30-40% top payout, all at the final table make at least a million.

[/ QUOTE ]

top 10% of the field *is* the norm for multi table tournaments. top 30% is not.

Looks like Greg Raymer(319k), Matt Dean (57k) who placed 7th and Ed Scharf (80k) who placed 15th are the only ones left who made the final 2 tables last year.

From 2 years ago we still have Sam Farha (173k) 2nd, Jason Lester (208k) 4th, Young Pak (54k) 7th, Phil Ivey (89k) 10th, and Dutch Boyd (103k) 12th,
