Jeff Cuccurollo will leave Las Vegas with $32,963 !

Canadian Jeff Cuccurollo, last of the ParadisePoker Team players, finished in WSOP´09 Main Event on 284th place on Day 5. He outlasted 6,210 players and he will take back to Toronto $32,963. In the last hand he went all-in with QQ but his chances for double-up disapeared when his opponent called with AA and Queen didn´t hit the board.

1 is left

Jeff is the only member of Team Paradise left in the WSOP Main Event. He has 296k chips and is on Table Blue 2 in Amazon Room.

Carlos Oliveira and Radek Chvala went out yesterday and made $25,027 each.

Last supper for part of WSOP ParadisePoker Team

Last evening we had a farewell party for the WSOP ParadisePoker players who were eliminated in first two days of WSOP´09 Main Event. We spent a pleasant evening full of delicous food in a private lounge of luxury chinese restaurant P.F.Chang´s in Planet Hollywood Hotel. This was the last day for 10 players in Las Vegas. But five of ParadisePoker players will stay in Vegas and try to do their best in Day 3 and hopefully in the next days as well.

Day 2 A has ended

Day 2 A has ended with 5 of the 10 Paradise players who started the day progressing to Day 3.

Chip counts are the following:

Carlos Oliviera 231,000
Radek Chavala - 173,000
Miroslav Fiala - 103,500
Robert Haigh - 63,000
Jeff Cuccurullo - 49,000

Congratulations to all of them!
