i thought so, looked like he must be at 4 million to me. cardplayer says chip has 3.45 mil.

Does anybody know how many hours they have been playing in a row, or have a rough estimate?

FT is running almost for 10 hours.

I really hope Chip wins this....I'm not sure I can stand a never ending loop of Andy Bloch's mug on Cardplayer if he wins.

I give up. Stayed up for 10 hours. Can't take it anymore. I give 'em 15 minutes. If no one wins by then, I declare it as an official draw and the winner, by default, is Phil Ivey.

Finally, some justice in poker.

Even though Chip has been run over for the most part thus far, I think the longer the match goes on, the bigger advantage he has.

Clearly the incorrect play. I went to sleep about an hour after Antonius went out, just woke up 15 minutes ago, fresh to watch HU. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

i've been wondering about chip's strategy. he's obviously played VERY passively, but my feeling is he's playing small ball poker like he should, right? that's what a great player is supposed to do against an inferior opponent. i also suspect chip is hoping to just outlast andy through sheer endurance, not necessarily superior skill. they had a 19-hour day yesterday but im sure chip has FAR more 19-hour days than andy does.

Clearly +EV. I knew I made the wrong decision when Chip hit that gutshot straight to double up. Worst bad beat I took all year.

And ya, I do agree with the poster who wrote about long hours favouring Reese. Bloch's moral must be down as well. He has grinded down Reese with his aggression over and over against, just to see Reese doubles up and regain his position.
