WSOP ME Last Longer Bet ***Spoilers*** (1 Viewer)

[WedgeRock]

$20 entry. Entries open through the start of the ME.

List of entrants will be randomized at some point and assigned to the top stacks left in the ME in order. When this will occur will depend in the number if entrants (don't want to do it too early when the field is still huge, but want to do it late enough so that everyone gets a healthy stack) but likely the end of Day 5 or 6.

The entrant whose assigned stack suvives longest in the WSOP ME wins the pool.

Prize: $520

[Señor Tony]

I'm in if I can send PP for G+S and I'll cover the fee. Much cheaper than $5.99 F&F transfer fee for international!

 

[WedgeRock]

I'll try to accommodate whatever is easiest for you.

 

[DarPodo]

PM me your PP info.

 

[WedgeRock]

Such a quandry... Do I really want a guy with such an affinity for Air Bud having my PP info...

 

[WedgeRock]

Up to 24 entries. Prize is $480.

 

[WedgeRock]

Bump.

FTR, I am going to shoot to assign names when the field is 2-3 times the number of participants.

 

[WedgeRock]

This is going to close Monday when the WSOP opens.

I am going to randomize the list of participants on Day 1 (probably July 4th). I will assign chipstacks likely at the end of Day 5 or 6 depending on the number of participants and the size of the field.

 

[Farcry44]

Sweet. I’m in.

 

[WedgeRock]

Bump.

There's a few who said they are interested. Payments must be in before they shuffle up and deal in Vegas...

 

[WedgeRock]

@Farcry44 is in, that puts us at 25 players and a prize of $500.

 

[kirchhausen]

Can I get in on this?

 

[WedgeRock]

Can I get in on this?

You asked 2 minutes before the ME started at 11am local time. I am not gonna punish you by excluding you when I wasn't in, especially since there is no advantage to joining late.

PM sent. Payment due ASAP.

 

[kirchhausen]

Thanks Wedge, I totally slept on this

 

[WedgeRock]

@kirchhausen is in and this is closed.

Prize is $520.

Names will be entered at random.org in the order you paid and then randomized. Stacks will be assigned to the randomized player list at a date/time TBD (probably after day 5 or 6).

 

[WedgeRock]

List reflects CD names. If your name is different here, let me know and I'll change it.

@grantc54 is that you at #5 in the list?

@colter ripton, is that you at #21?

Yes, that should be @grantc54, thanks.

Updated.

 

[WedgeRock]

I just randomized the list of participants... Who can wait until Wednesday?!

 

[WedgeRock]

Chipstacks will be assigned in the above order (probably at the end of Day 5 or 6). Congrats on getting the chipleader, @Seeking Alpha Social Club! (But has a chipleader at the end of Day 5 or 6 ever taken down the Main?)

Dunno, but some stats on where eventual winners stood after day 5 and day 6 would make for interesting discussion, as would finishing positions for the day 5 and day 6 top ten stacks.

Who has a bunch of free time?

 

[WedgeRock]

Who has a bunch of free time?

I *might* graph standings at the end of each day for the stacks assigned in this bet...

Not sure, but thanks!

I'd have to see where Jamie Gold was on day 5 or 6. I seem to remember that his yip yapping scared a lot of players into folding hands they should have played, and he might habe been a chip leader early.

Either way, it has to be better than last year when I drew the short stack at the final table.

 

[DarPodo]

Chip position with 27 players left for eventual winner...

Day 7

2008 - 4th (Eastgate)


Day 8

2009 - 12th (Cada)
2010 - 7th (Duhamel)


Day 7

2011 - 12th (Heinz)
2012 - 12th (Merson)
2013 - 19th (Reiss)
2014 - 1st (Jacobson)
2015 - 4th (McKeehan)
2016 - 25th (Nguyen)
2017 - 8th (Blumstein)


Thank you for 12

 

[BGinGA]

Wedge, you plan to assign stacks when there are still 50-75 players remaining, correct?

 

[WedgeRock]

Yeah, 2-3 times the size of our field. Once the combine the fields into one group, it'll be easier to track how many are eliminated per day... They used to play down to x players at the end of a day, so it wiykd have been easier to assign.

I'd prefer to be closer to 75 players than to 50.

Lame.

26 in the contest. There’s a hard stop at 27 for at least the past 10 years. I thought we might go with that to ensure 8 of the final 9 are all in our contest.

ditto

 

[WedgeRock]

Problem with that is, 1.) there is no hard stop in the rules this year, and 2.) 5-19 people get shortstacks.
