Well, that makes a lot more sense now. We have a Chris Savage playing in the field, and being that he was chipleader at dinner break, we assumed it was brsavage in the flesh. Obv. When players returned from dinner, nobody could get find brsavage's face in the crowd. The WSOP is using player ID cards on sort of a trial basis, and this sort of mix-up is all the more reason that they need to implement this system across the board. Thanks for clearing up the mix-up br.

We think he's busto, but won't really be able to confirm that until Harrah's releases the player list and chip counts for Day 2. He really did just *poof*.

Yes, he has apparently disappeared from the tournament floor. Vanished right into thin air.

And quit reading CP too... PokerNews is where it's at.

Just so you know, he may not have been down to 3,000 during the middle stages. A player always gets his starting stack entered first, 3,000 in this case, and then his new chip count. So the first time he shows up on the board, his trend might be huge.

that was an hour ago, seems fine now

Errr, it's back up now... lemme elaborate... first, there's a bunch of threads about FTP going down. I was railing the FTOPS Razz event, and it crashed, my buddy was flipping out, and mine was frozen too. And I was railing the 9pm $40K on UB, and everyone was booted from the final table except ONE player. Then they both came back up at the same time, 10 or 15 mins later. Both people I was railing, one on FTP and one on UB both came back at the same time as well. It wasn't me.

So, FTP and UB both crashed at the same time tonight, about 1:45AM EST.. and it looks like Bodog did too? Can anyone explain why this happened? Are their servers all in the same place? A black hole? Is it the end of the world?

I'm curious why UB went down, and then back up at the exact same time as well... anyone know??
