North American Update

We have had a scoot round the tables majoring on the chipcounts of those players marked down as being from the US and Canada, most of whom have qualified via Pokerstars.com. Here is what we discovered based on seat positions. Unfortunately we do not know the players by facial features so if there is a case of mistaken identity, it's...ummm....tough.

Here we go:

Richard Lis (Canada) - Looking less than good on 3.5k
Michael Pesek (USA) - Handily placed on 14k
Roberto Matic (USA) - Similarly sweet on 13k
Alec Torelli (USA) - Sucking air on 2k or less.
William Stevenson (USA) - Comfortable on 14k
Patrick White (USA) - Not good on 3k
John Donelly (USA) - Hanging in there with 9k
Clayton Mozdzen (Canada) - As I arrived, lost a big pot holding Qx with QxxQx board. Opponent showed AQ. Down to the felt with 1k max.
Alexander Ofer (USA) - Ticking over with 9k
Daniel Ryan (USA) - Averagely placed with 11k
Dimitrios Nistas (Canada) - The best of all with 16k
Dustin Dirksen (USA) - Holding on with difficulty at 5k
Will Haydon (USA) - Relaxed with 14k

It would appear that Tyler Netter (USA) is not seated so must be out.
