Day 8
Day 1D
Amid some chaotic scenes at the Rio yesterday the Ladbrokes players managed to get seated safely, unlike several hundred disgruntled players who were turned away by Harrah's officials due to a lack of space.
Ladbrokes sponsored pro Skalie had a memorable day ending up on 135k in chips. He began the day like a house on fire racing to 60k inside the first two levels. Steve Davis (fivek), emulated his snooker style and was steady throughout the day ending up with 33k in chips. Other notable chip counts were emotivator (Louise Duffy) 44k and treemore (Paddy O'Connor) 3k. Day 2A takes place with up to 8 players from Ladbrokes taking part.
Day 2A
It was day 2A of the WSOP Main Event today and there were 11 Ladbrokes players taking their seats. Prior to the start of the days play all of the Ladbrokes met up for brunch and re-enforced the team spirit generated over the past week.
The day was not so good for some of the Nordic players with Andreas Høivold and Michel Sterk failing to make the dinner break. The players enjoyed another team meal and exchanged stories and experiences from the day so far before returning for the final 2 levels of the day. The final levels proved spectacular for a couple of the players namely Nebuchad (Jonas Danielsson) who went from 60k up to 218k at the end of play. Sirus77 (Lee Pope) had a strong finish ending on 110k, yonebike (John Magill) ended up at 106k trying to emulate his 12th place finish in 2006. In all 7 players made it through to Fridays day 3. Chip counts:
- Yobenike - 106,000
- Nebuchad - 218,000
- Sirus77 - 110,000
- Kid_Unger - 66,000
- Daddymac - 103,000
- Inorriiiss - 70,000
