What a staggering session. 3500 big blinds in under 4000 hands vs Galfond and 2420 blinds in 2200 hands vs skjervoy. I can only assume they must have been playing super deep with multiple straddles.

Thread bump!

Maybe the GDAM needs its own thread, but I thought I would post here: Aussie Jeff Rossiter just busted overnight leader Duhamel, and is sitting on 5M chips after using only one buyin (compared to 2 or 3 for many others including Duhamel).

It's a shame the structure is so bad. Even despite all the rebuys, the average stack is only about 23BB. Kurganov in 3rd has only 35BB.

Watching the live stream: Rono Lo is worse than some of the terrible Burswood regs, yet he's in line to go deep into the final table here.

And wow, 60 minute levels are so tough, especially when they sometimes take 5+minutes per hand because the stakes are so high.

Is jeff on the tv table?

 

[paxmaniac]

He was, yeah. The structure is just absurd. How can this happen for one of the richest tourndonkaments in history? Chipleader on the FT has 28BB. Table average is about 15BB.

 

[JuddsABlue]

yeah the short structures are the theme for these, I guess its the way they attract the bigger players

A softer but faster field must be better than a slower/tougher field

Rossiter tt>Q8 for a whole tonne of chips, wonder if it was a right call considering haxton had 3bb left

 

[JuddsABlue]

Jeff is 1/4 with massive chiplead though theyre basically flipping from here on in so far from home

 

[paxmaniac]

Gee, Hongkang/Macau has been good to Rossiter:

Probably spends more time in Macau than he does Oz

Always has some interesting stories of Macau if you land on his table in oz. He plays decent stakes cash there most of the time
