Was surprised that a thread hasn't been made for the main event yet. If anybody has been wondering what Kiwikaki has been up to lately, he's been rocking it at the WSOP.

Some chip counts after Day 1 of notable players or members of TL (I can edit in more if you guys recognize names but I only know of a few of the more obvious names).

Players start off with 30,000 chips I believe

+ Show Spoiler [ Day 1 end chip counts ] +


(P)KiWiKaKi - 94,000
(P)Grrrr... - 57,325
(P)Fayth - 42,150

Liquid`Raszi - 82,350
BigBalls - 40,325

Breaking Down the Berlin Wall
Jonathan Garneau, a legend among the StarCraft 2 community (I'm more of a Portal 2/Total War fan myself) has managed to double up to over 300,000 after he was all in with against Nachman Berlin's .

The board came , Berlin crippled and left with 100,000 as a result.

A short analysis of Kiwi's table tomorrow.

Mimi Luu has 57,000 chips and a healthy list of tournaments that she's placed in this year. She doesn't have many chips, though, so she's likely to be a non-factor.

Steve Brecher has 973,000 chips. He's incredibly experienced, with a very long career (although that's not always a good thing these days) and he won a million dollar top prize two years ago at a WPT event. He seems to be the main threat at KiWiKaKi's table, given his chip count.

Joseph Lacarrubba has 196,000 chips. As far as I can tell, he's a complete no-name.

Christopher Moore has 350,000 chips. He's experienced in the area of live tournaments, with his top win at ~$80,000.

Robert Kolbe has 483,000 chips. He seems like another no-name. I think KiWiKaKi will be happy to have someone with seemingly little experience, but many chips, to his right.

Jonathan Garneau, our hero, has 260,000 chips.

Paul Chauderson has 599,000 chips. KiWiKaKi will not be happy to see this man to his left. He plays in a great deal of live tournaments and places pretty well in them! If Kiwi gets knocked out tomorrow, this guy has as good a chance of anyone of doing it.

Tyler Sumrall has 147,000 chips. He has some experience and some good tournament places, but he doesn't have enough chips to be a big force at the table.

Thomas Pedersen has 671,000 chips. He doesn't have much live tournament experience; he's pretty much a mystery. He has a lot of chips, though. Let's hope those chips make their way into KiWi's stack.




+ Show Spoiler [ Day 5 current chip counts ] +


Kiwikaki - 520k as of ~5:00 PM EST
Kiwikaki - 600k as of ~7:00 PM EST

Kiwikaki has busted out at about 8:15 PM EST
Garneau's Big Slick Doesn't Connect


We found a preflop all in showdown between Jonathan Garneau and Robert Kolbe. Garneau held AKo and Kolbe had QQ. The board ran 7J8 3 4 and Garneau had the long walk to the payouts office.

If anyone else has word on current/former members of TL or the Starcraft community and would like to have it editted into the OP, post on this thread, and lets start up a discussion and cheer for our communities players who are currently doing quite well :D

Big credits to Grettin for finding and posting the .pdf that list the seat arrangements and chip counts for the next day~

It is a 10,000$ buyin. Anyone who has the money can join.

6885 players entered this year.

The top 693 players will make the money. First place receives a little over 8.7 million.

You were probably watching episodes from last year. Right now it is just day 2b. The tourney runs something like 10 days or so. Generally they will reach the money on day 4.

Fayth had a really great run last year, and also split a small % with Duhamel who ended up winning. Kiwikaki seems to be making a good run this year though, I really hope he does well.

Doyle is hardly a notable player at this day and age. If you want notables that are out, Tom Dwan is out and thats the real big name.

Also I editted it that its 30k starting chips ;o my bad. I don't want to directly C&P Liquid Pokers info, that would seem like plagiarizing, I'm more focused on the direct SC2/TL members than former BW/LP members.

I knew Elky but not Fayth and Rekrul, actually found out about Fayth through that long-ass CombatEX interview. :p

Hopefully Kiwi can become as big a name in poker as in SC2 through this.
