The sites won't update him. I've been watching http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/results.asp?grid=821&tid=11497&dayof=2059 for his name. He's not there yet, so still in (and a couple positions short of the 40k level). | ||

They're only updating notable players/featured tables. Kiwi started the day at 260,000 and they haven't updated his chip count at all. But he's not on the list of payouts, so he's still in it, we have no idea about his stack size though. | ||

The US considers it "gambling", yet someone has won this championship two times, so obviously SKILL is the contributing factor here. But isn't luck of the draw a small part of it as well, similar to Starcraft where you might scout properly yet skill miss something important due to bad luck? Would you say it's 95% skill 5% luck, or is luck more important? | ||

The site updates but they aren't updating everyones count. Especially someone like Kiwikaki who they only FINALLY added after 4 fucking full days. That was his starting chip count, I'll bet you that they just haven't touched his chipcount all day. | ||

I'll repeat Day9's joke about this: "You don't go in for the final attack against your opponent to see they suddenly have a dozen broodlords and all you can say is 'That's Starcraft!' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" | ||

Oh definitely, but it's fun to watch him constantly rant to the whole table. | ||

Would you say it's 95% skill 5% luck, or is luck more important? It's a game of statistics, like Mahjong (which I play). Meaning, as others stated, over a long turn (several thousand games) players with skill will have better stats than players without. A short-term torunament such as this is mainly luck (reading people, bluffing etc. only gets you so far). | ||
