    WSOP Main Event contest

    Playing a couple of these and thought it might be fun around here...

    50 points? 100? I'm flexible depending on demand.



    Pick 5 players you believe will go deep in the ME this year.

    Pick 1 female player you believe will go deep.

    Lowest overall average of the 6 finishing positions wins contest.

    Bonus for making the money= -100

    Bonus for Final table= -1000

    Tie breaker= Total number of entrants for 2015 ME

    Due to multiple day 1s entry deadline 12pst July 7th, but if your post contains a player who has started before the time stamp on your entry the buy in will be returned and you will be labeled a douche.

    Ok Ill throw 100 in but lets make the minimum 50. I don't mind being escrow but if anyone has a problem with that hopefully someone more "trustworthy" will speak up.


    Anthony Zinno

    Brian Hastings

    Mike Gorodinsky

    Jason Mercier

    Phil Hellmuth

    that is quite a star studded lineup, sharpy...I was going to pick Mercier and Zinno but there are plenty of great NL players out there so I'll pick ones that you didn't. How about all of us adding an additional player that is female?

    Benjamin Zamani

    Shaun Deeb

    Dominik Nitsche

    Bryn Kenney

    Paul Volpe

    7777 ME entries

    Just picking the hottest players right now but that usually never works in the ME. Even if some guys have the same picks all it takes is one dark horse going deep to win it. I waffled between one name I haven't seen yet, gordo and volpe myself cause they're all killers and you're right theres tons of capable players. I wouldn't blame you for picking Zinno because watching him on the live streams shows he's in some kind of mystical poker zone right now and has that "feel" of a deep run.

    I like the female pick idea but I'll give you the lead so I dont snipe you again

    Jake already picked his female w/Shauna... and I just assumed with all his emotional fly-off-the-handle outbursts, Phil more than qualified in that category for you.

    Buy in is minimum 50 up to whatever you feel like risking. 200 in the pot so far.

    Selbst a no brainer and Harwood is a player too Jake, nice choices.

    Im going with runner up in event #20 this year Natasha Barbour. She's had a few nice hits this summer and almost got the bracelet in the 1500 NL.

    Are we doing a female pick? If so, is that the 6th choice or is it 5 total?

    My understanding is 6 total, 5 dudes & 1 chick. That's what the 3 entrants thus far have done.

    My bad Gummo, I agreed to add the female but didn't edit the OP. We'll do 5 regular picks and 1 chick pick.

    Sorry dane, looks like you've got the first one to crash and burn. Today should have a lot of ours starting though so you're still very alive.
