 So the last split day of the WSOP was yesterday, with 2379 players in day 2B, which was almost tiwce the attendance of yesterday. To remind you, we would see 8 liquidpoker-members playing today, these were their stacks:
Lex Veldhuis (RasZi) 54800
Hevad Khan (RainKhan 54600
Evan McNiff (FrinkX) 51175
Bertrand Grospellier (ElkY) 49900 (see picture)
Daniel Schreiber (Rekrul) 39100
Sean Nolan (Nolan) 23925
Ryan Daut (Daut44) 23750
Justin St. John (NMcNasty) 22400
After a disastrous day 2A for Liquidpoker (0 out of 4 made day 3), day 2B was much better. Unfortunately for 3 of the guys, their Main Event ended today. Rekrul busted after losing some flips, Nolan's rollercoasterride ended in a crash at the end of the day, when he got shortstacked and didn't improve on A4 vs TT. Daut went out late as well, I don't know how it happened, but he's busted according to the updated chipcounts at wsop.com  (he had 38k before the updated counts).
So that leaves 5 out of 8 at day 2B, not bad. It seems that there have been really big swings all around, but in the end it was ElkY who was the LP.net-chipleader:
Bertrand Grospellier 151.800
Hevad Khan 113.200
Evan McNiff 101.400
Lex Veldhuis 80.000
Justin St John 55.200
Next blindslevel: $1000/$2000 with $200 ante
Out of 2379 players, we saw 855 survive for day 3. That combined with the 466 of day 2A should make 1321, but there are still 1308 players left according to WSOP, probably due to the fact that the 1308-figure was based on final chipcounts, the other were not, so there are 1307 people playing today. 666 of them will get paid at least $21.3k. So, who will be fighting for the money and who won't? Well, amongst the players knocked out we see Jerry Yang, Sorel Mizzi, Shannon Elizabeth, Brian Townsend, Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, Joe Hachem, David Sklansky, Carlos Mortensen and David Singer. High ranked notable pro's include Victor Ramdin, Nenad Medic and Phil Hellmuth. Peter Biebel was the day 2B chipleader with
Chipcounts:
Peter Biebel 531,000
Alex Outhred 486,800
Raja Kattamuri 411,100
Steven Goosen 362,100
Reagan Silber 355,500
Paul Snead 335,500
Rafael Caiaffa 334,500
Cornel Pazai 328,100
Matthew Calhoun 325,800
Terry Lade 315,000
Tonight we'll see who makes the next step towards winning the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event. Let's hope all 5 liquidpoker-players are still in tomorrow.
