Scouting Tom's table


AP Phahuret - pro player with $279k career earnings

Everett Carlton - circuit event regular with wsop experience and a lot of solid results - $492k earnings

Dave Williams - unknown player - I don't think this is David Williams

Carl Maddy - Just a basic guy with a few decent results.

Luke Nettles - Has a lot of solid results in mid-level tourneys (Venetian, Fiesta Del Lago etc) $187k live earnings. Probably a pro.

Andras Korokami - Pro player that won the WPT LA Poker Classic in 2010

Eric Brix - Online pro with $438k earnings and limited live results

Tom Czyszczon - Hero

Grant Hinkle - Online pro with bracelet in 2008 $1500 event

From Gail:
At the day three close, Tom is at $123k. He said 747 are left but I saw 719 on WSOP.com. Will confirm tomorrow. He begins day four action at noon tomorrow when the money bubble should burst at some point. Great summary at:http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/updates.asp?grid=887&tid=12161

Tom's Status

Here's Gail's report at the dinner break:
"At dinner break, Tom has $90k. With each orbit costing $6300 and going up, it's getting expensive to play or sit out. He lost a bunch on pocket 7s and is refueling now hopefully for some chip accumulation. He's in the middle chip stack wise at his table with the chip leader at $150k. 1017 left and 666 is the money. Blinds will be 1500/3000/400 when he gets back. C 'mon Tom!!"


And here is her most recent report from about an hour ago:
"Seriously?? Tom is being moved to the featured table with all the cameras and commentators!"

Day 2 is over

Tom ended day 2 at 80k.  During the last level he went as low as 50k but then got it back.  Now he has a day off as day 2C plays.  The players then combine for Day 3 on Thursday. When they come back they will be on level 11 - 800/1600/200.  Aproximately 900 players remain from the original day 1A and B fields that totaled 3180.  Today Dave Bernatz starts his day 2C with about 40k.
