  19. Jon "PearlJammer" Turner - 225
  20. Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy - 386

POINT TOTAL: 3686 (Would have been 3190 if I counted Helge Pederson)

* Chip Jett cashed in this event under his real name, Charles. He actually has two entries in the WSOP player database.

** So, um, yeah. Turned out Helge was a dude, not a woman, so I inadvertently failed to have a woman on my team. Sadly, I would have picked Tiffany Michelle as my second choice, who is now 3rd in chips! Instead of Helge's finish, I gave myself 666 points for the final money slot.

WSOP Challenge III coming right up!!!!

Agreed - it would be an awesome showdown to watch a heads-up rematch between Chan and Hellmuth for the ME title. Ridiculous long shot, but by far one of the cooler outcomes.

Which one is your woman pick? There's a few names on your list I didn't recognize, so it could be one of those, but I couldn't tell which one it was.

Took a quick look at the log just now, and Johnny Chan, Hasan Habib and Thayer Rasmussen were all eliminated. Chan hurts the worst though :( Would really have liked to see him make a huge run.

Hellmuth doubled up at the same time Chan busted - so I guess you picked the right champ/horse so far. :)

Wait, crushes? :)

If you call a 1.05 to 1 victory "crushing". (And yeah, Brandon Cantu is still alive, but even if he wins, the margin doesn't change much - might put you up to a whopping 1.06 :P )

On to round three amigo!
