We'll take just a quick moment to recognize the WSOP staff who worked so tirelessly for the full summer. Including one Friday afternoon when they all decided to show up for work in their whites.
Remember the hair. Guillaume Darcourt. He'll play a significant role in the French subplot of this Main Event as it progresses as well.
And Eoghan O'Dea, the Irishman. In case the name didn't tip you off to the nationality.
As you will Bryan Devonshire.
You probably won't remember Reza Kashani for very long, but here are a few names you won't want to forget. Starting with Ben Lamb. Already a bracelet winner and (at the time of this photo) second in the Player of the Year standings, Lamb decided to, you know, lead the Day 1b field after the first five levels, and on-and-off for much longer than that. You're going to be seeing plenty of him in the upcoming months...
And we'll remind you (as Ty Stewart did the players before Day 3) about the 2011 WSOP Europe in a new location this year. Cannes, France, will be welcoming the brand to one of the most scenic locations in the world from October 7-20.
And we'll leave you with an unusual look at the Amazon Room for now, with the rest of the unusual story to come very soon in the next edition.
Andrew Robl. Out.
Carter Gill. Also out, but in a most unusual way. After surviving Day 1c with 49,000 chips, Gill had a day off to, well, get himself into some trouble. Gill found himself banned from Harrah's properties, a significant hindrance to one playing the Main Event at the Rio. He was blinded out completely on Day 2.
Day 4 brought the money bubble, and Paul Baron was just one of a hundred short stacks praying to survive a few more minutes.
With 694 players remaining, the tournament was hand-for-hand. A single hand would be played at each table, then the dealer would stand and hold the action until the rest of the room caught up. Then, another hand all together.
It was Reza Kashani who was the unlucky winner of the wooden spoon, though he was given an entry into next year's Main Event as a consolation prize.
And he got to spend some time on TV with Kara Scott, too. Not so bad, is it Reza?
