I've instructed Travis to follow the progress of the following players closely:

Daniel Negreanu 21,450
John Juanda 22,000
Mike Matusow 84,500
Josh Arieh 55,000
Erick Lindgren 63,000


So if you are interested in updates on any of those players this should be your stop. Also, Travis will be keeping tabs on other players much less regularly.

Feel free to add new threads to this forum rather than the General Forum. In fact, all moderators should look to move threads related to the tournament here. That way it'll keep things nice and neat.


2:00- chip counts updated above.
interesting hands the first level: blinds 25 50
Daniel makes it 250 with 34 utg. 3 callers. flop A 3 4. DN bets 1300, no callers.

3:45- chip counts updated at second break.

4:45- chip counts updated

5:00- Juanda bets 30k on a board of Q Q 10 10 6(3 hearts) and is called by a flush. JJ is down to 6,000

6:30-Daniel loses a 20k+.pot with 10 10 to AA on 7 4 2 flop. chip counts updated.

7:10 chip counts updated. 1 more level of play today.

8:00 DN doubles up to 24k after getting all in preflop with QQ vs AJ
Daniel flops a set of 3's and loses to runner runner flush.

End of the day chip counts above

Awesome!

Travis will finally have to earn his paycheck and we'll have a one stop spot for all we need/want to know.

Thanks DN, the new site's got a few glitches, but all that you do for us is appreciated.

Good luck at the Five Diamond event.

gl today. The new site is going good so far.

Glitches? Hey mods, ban this guy will ya! :-) (SW)

Heh! You'll lose your biggest contributor in the NLHE Strat section. Just sayin'.

Thanks though, really.

lets burn him instead ...who's with me?


(j/k)

I just can't help it, everytime I see that avatar teneight I can't stop laughing, lol.

i love you too daniel :oops:

I'm a Huge Packers Fan.

Goodbye Randy Moss.

:roll: :wink: :!:

This is cool because I always cover the cardplayer coverage, but they always forget to put you in there and their day 1 coverage is overall pretty shotty.

im down, lets do it.

Packers need to start rebuilding. I will be there on Christman all decked out in Bears gear. Probably going to be a bad Christmas for packer fans...that is if we can get a little offense going.

Good luck in the tourney daniel.

Good... Then there will be less competition for me to overcome enroute to my goal:

MERBY'S LONG TERM FCP FORUM GOAL: Slowly take over the NLHE strat section and *slowly* but surely fill it with worse and worse advice until *eventually* anyone who reads (and follows) the advice in that section will turn into ATMs.... I can see it now! The FCP NLHE community will be my personal cash machine! Mua haha!

<Evil maniacal laughter ensues>

Just kidding. Methinks the NLHE Strat section would be a *little* quieter in your absence (especially between the hours 11 pm to 3 am!)

Cheers,
Merby

Heh.

I just start going at midnight, which, kinda sucks, because most everyone else has gone to bed. Not a lot of room for discussion when you're replying to your own posts.

I'm willing to work with you on your long term goal though. PM me.

Yeah, but it sure is fun talking to yourself! It lets you see what life would be like with multiple personalities. (jk)

Sadly, you cannot expect this time to be my regular sumbission time: I am pulling an all-nighter working against a Monday 8 am deadline (hence the off-and-on posting tonight...)

*Now's the time when my other personality yells at me to get back to work.


Cheers,

Merby and Merby

....and Merby

Yea, but then you will be at PM donating to my bankroll... so go ahead and ban the guy

Yeah, that reminds me.

How bad was Jesse's call the last time I saw ya?

Board comes 10-8-3, all clubs, he bets, I push..and he calls with 99?

I had 8s and the nut flush draw, and about 642 outs.

Bah.

What a donk.

Not as bad as after you left I flopped a FH with my pocket 6's and let him bet into me.

Heh..nice.

Give him just enough rope to hang himself.

Go get those online qualifying ostriches.

thx in advance for giving us the updates daniel...good luck in the tourny...hopefully u will defend ur title! :-)

Good luck DN.

I am going to the WPT Champions Boot Camp this week.

We get to view the final table taping on Friday at the Bellagio and the rest is at the Mirage on Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to taking down Clonie heads Up. LOL.

Will stop by and say hello :!:




PS. Go Bears

Someone mentioned this above, and I'm sure it's probably just a misconception, but I've also noticed that CardPlayer rarely seems to mention DN in their updates... I'm not really a conspiracy person (for most things), and I know they cover the 'action' and not necessarily specific people.. but DN was the 2004 PoY, right? so wouldn't they at least mention him once or twice?

things that make you go, hmm....

sorry.. I need the post to get off Newbie status...

i dont think there are any problems between DN and cardplayer...they have his blog on their home page...

Daniel hasnt been doing to well this year(as far as tournies go)...thats probably y hes not mentioned that much in t he updates.

Good Luck DN. I heard a rumor that if you win, you're giving charter members a % of your winnings. You da man!

whoops....forgot the sw

That would be awesome! :dance:

:wink:

:wink:

yeah.. like I said... I doubt there's anything there... I know he writes for them and they link his site... but it was something I've noticed and since someone else mentioned it as well.. I thought I'd throw it out there...

1:35. Where's our first update, Travis?

Uh oh...

I smell problems for other peeeeople.

where did u see that he had 55k?

look at DN's original thread

thanks

From Josh:

5:12 - Check out this hand From TJ Cloutier. He limps with 55. Gets raised and reraised. TJ Folds. Flop 885. Bet call. Turn is a 2. Bet call. River 5. Guy has 4 8s. If TJ stays in the pot he goes broke by flopping full, rivering quad 5s.

cardplayer sucks

:shock: Holy Frijoles!!!

Bellagio is rigged.

Go DN!!!!!!

That was me posting quads over quads, just wondering why i didn't have to log in?

Ya think TJ cracked a smile when he realized he mucked losing quads?

I didn't think so either.

Any conspiracy theory drawn up like this is definately in your head... from cardplayer.com

The tournament clock has been updated for the first time, and it's now showing 523 players remaining in the tournament. The prizepool is also listed, so we will be posting that soon.

Don't forget about "The Circuit." Tonight's special guest will be none other than Daniel Negreanu. Send your questions for Daniel and our host Mike Matusow to thecircuit@cardplayer.com.

these updates....are they real or metaphorical?

Go Steelers & Good Luck Daniel.
Do me a favor and beat Matusow, Im sick of some the idiots on this board who keep saying The Mouth is a better NLHE player thna you.

Has anybody ever defended their tital in an event?

In this event or any event?

If any event then yes. Chan won the main event two years in a row.

I think he meant a WPT event, and in that case, I don't think so.
