Prediction wrong for event 2 of the 2009 wsop

Predictions for the 2009 40k event 2 FAIL

May 30th, 2009

I was way off on my predictions for the 2009 WSOP 40k Event 2. Phil Ivey was one of the first people out and so was John Juanda. I don’t think Hac and Di Dang even played in the event and then Alec Torelli entered it. Alec told me he was going to be in the WSOP , but I had no Idea he was entering the 40k event. Lets see how this ends up, but right now I look like a huge idiot.
Looking back, I didn’t even consider live tournament players like JC tran or David Pham. Then the guy I picked to play in first didn’t even play. I had Justin Bonomo on my original list but, I think I just left him on my 50k HORSE predictions. Anyways, I hope I didn’t influence your fantasy league at Full Tilt Poker in anyway.

Here’s how the remaining ten players have been seated around Table #144:

Seat 1 — Ted Forrest
Seat 2 — Noah Schwartz
Seat 3 — Alec Torelli
Seat 4 — Isaac Haxton
Seat 5 — Greg Raymer
Seat 6 — Justin Bonomo
Seat 7 — Lex Veldhuis
Seat 8 — Dani Stern
Seat 9 — Tony G
Seat 10 — Vitaly Lunkin

I have been playing close attention the live coverage of the 40k event from Full Tilt’s new WSOP coverage page, and poker news. Right now, my friend Alec Torelli just shot into 1st place with $5,000,000 in chips! Lex Veldhuis aka RaSZi is in third and Greg Raymer went into second. Chris Moneymaker was doing well but I think he busted out before the money. Tony G has played and excellent short stack for over a day now and will make some Chip Me Up investors really happy!

I hope for saving face that my predictions for the 50k Horse event go better.
