We should post all revelant updates to the Main Event in this thread so there isn't a new thread for every single new log from three different sites. It will be easier to find things out because you won't have to look through multiple different threads.EDIT:Sites to find updates FYI:www.pokerwire.comwww.cardplayer.comwww.pokerpages.comwww.pokertrails.comwww.josharieh.com (He'll post updates mostly about him through his site)www.gutshot.comAnymore post below...

saw this too late butJennifer Harman's crazy hand Log: "I've never had this happen to me before in my life," is how Jennifer Harman's 2005 WSOP championship starts. It begins with her picking up Q-Q. The board comes Qd-Jd-10c-10d-7d, a full house for Harman, but unfortunately for her, her opponent flips over 8d-9d. A runner-runner straight flush puts one of the field's toughest players on the ropes. not really runner runner but you get the point

Some more updates:Date / Time: 2005-07-07 13:39:00 Title: Big Slick and Bigger Slick Log: Thomas "Thunder" Keller just took a huge blow to his stack. Keller and his opponent both held A-K. Both players made trip kings when the board brought 2 kings, but by the river there were also 3 spades on board. Keller's opponent had As-Ks. Keller is now down to a meager $400 in chips. Date / Time: 2005-07-07 13:38:00 Title: Better Late Than Never Log: Ted Forrest is another fashionably late arrival. He is seated at Table 27 - Seat 6. Date / Time: 2005-07-07 13:30:00 Title: Touchdown Log: Karriem Adams just arrived in the Amazon Room with two suitcases in tow. "My plane was late as @#*k," Adams said, as one of the Tournament Staff took his luggage from him, and seated him at his table almost a half hour into Level 2.

Date / Time: 2005-07-07 13:44:00Title: Jennifer Harman EliminatedLog: Jennifer Harman, who was seated at the table on the ESPN stage, has been eliminated from this year's main event. She had taken an unbelievable hit in round one, when she flopped a set of queens against an opponent's straight, and she turned a full house on the same card that made her opponent a straight flush.

Anyone know if Dutch Boyd got in or not?
From his website blog his "bankroll is on fumes", unless some sap stakes him he will not play in the ME.
I read the same thing. I feel bad for the guy. He needs a job.

Date / Time: 2005-07-07 13:50:00 Title: Official Numbers Log: I just returned from the cashier's cage with the official numbers on this year's Main Event. These numbers were taken directly off their computer screen: Total Number of Entrants: 5,661 Day 1a Players: 1,885 Day 1b Players: 1,878 Day 1c Players: 1,898The players who registered after the event started today were just as likely to be randomly placed in today's field (Day 1a) as they were Friday (Day 1b) or Saturday (Day 1c).This is clearly the largest live tournament in history, but it is not a sellout. Harrah's was prepared for a full 6,600 players, plus alternates. Score one for excellent planning on Harrah's part. Even though a sellout sounds impressive, it means that people were excluded from the event.

Date / Time: 2005-07-07 14:03:00 Title: Alan Boston Eliminated Log: Alan Boston has been eliminated from today's Championship event. James Pollack bet out before the flop and Boston moved all in. Pollack called and turned over K-Q suited. Boston showed pocket 10's. The flop came K-X-X and Boston's pocket 10's never improved agianst Pollack's Kings.

For the record, Keller showed up late, so his approximate stay at this year's Main Event was about 30 minutes.Ouch.
