WSOPE Final Update Day1B: Antoine 2nd chipleader of the day!

With a perfect Day1B Antoine reaches the 2nd place in today's chip count with 144k, and confirms one more time that his seat at the WSOP Final Table in November is well deserved.

Antoine leads just behind Steve Zolotow with 160k. A total of 107 reached Day2 from today's flight. He will start Day2 in the top 10 places. Day1A action apparently has been wilder as it produced 8 out of the 10 highest chipcounts.

Kim Wooka is doing ok, with 42k: slightly below average but still in good shape to fight.

Tomorrow the game will resume at 5.30 pm London time.

Wsope Update 19.00: Antoine 71k, Kim 40k

Antoine climbs to new heights after a big pot where his opponent has to fold on the river a flopped top straight on a flop T79! Turn T and river 7, with the Antoine's All In bet on the river are too scary for the opponent who shows 8J.

Antoine sits at the most chatty and funny table of the tournament. Antonio Esfandiari can't stop proposing new challenges, trading bets on virtually everything he can imagine. But Antoine is not one of his customers tonight. Our November Niner is very concentrated!

Kim was moved to a different table. Her stack is still healthy at 40k. Now she has to face some more very experienced players such as Andre Akkari and Howard Lederer.

WSOPE Update 17.30: Kim and Antoine cruising

At the end of the third level of play Kim and Antoine are still in the tournament. Antoine is doing well with around 50k. Kim has basically the original stack, 30k.

Antonio Esfaniari is entertaining players and massage girls with side bets and math games, but Antoine manages to keep his concentration.

Antoine tests another WSOP Main Event

While waiting for the Big Deal, the Final Table of the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas, our Team Everest Member Antoine Saout is in London for the European version of the match.
172 players have registered so far for Day 1B. This, combined with yesterday's total of 156, gives a total of 328 hopeful souls running for a total prizepool of 3,28M pounds. John Juanda, reigning champion of WSOPE announced the "shuffle up and deal" today.

Antoine will not have the chance to meet Phil Ivey at the table during this event. Ivey busted yesterday during Day1A. He has a world-famous player at his table anyway: the "Magician" Antonio Esfandiari.
Learn some tricks, Antoine!!

Wsope: spotlights on Kim!

Glamorous Kim Wooka gets the spotlights in London where she's playing Day 1B of the WSOPE Main Event. Our Team Everest member sits at a tough table with a mix of young players and experts such as Steve Zolotow.
We'll update the blog as the game goes on.

November Niner Antoine Saout will also play today, but he hasn't took his seat yet. The tournament is very long and he probably decided to skip the first rounds of play.
