Re: WPT Championship Live Updates

Bluesquare have stepped up to the plate, good on em.

Seat 2 – Gus Hansen – 8,570,000 13/8
Seat 5 – Cory Carroll – 6,670,000 5/2
Seat 3 – David Chiu – 6,050,000 11/4
Seat 1 – John Roveto – 2,720,000 15/2
Seat 4 – Tommy Le – 1,950,000 12/1
Seat 6 – Jeff King – 1,305,000 18/1

Shame Gus aint 2/1 or better there cos that would have been an iron clad good value bet. Obviously all of them know what theyre doing and its a donkament so theres a ton of luck involved at this point but still I like looking at this, so lets look at a bunch of factors to see who looks good for it compared to their odds.

Chip Share Percentages/fractions

Gus - 31% : 9/4
Cory Carroll - 24% : 16/5
David Chiu - 22% : 7/2
John Roveto - 10% : 9/1
Tommy Le - 7% : 13/1
Jeff King - 5% : 19/1

(27.265m chips in play)

Well the bookies giving absolutely nothing away on that basis are they

so gona have to look elsewhere at what each of the players poker Trackrecords/Form boast.

John Roveto - Various small cashes but no real record, no wins. No limit specialist.

Tommy Le - Claim to fame is finishing 79th in 2007 WSOP ME for 100k cash. No limit specialist.
