The email you were working from probably had all the "errors" you listed. (Though you can't call it an error for leaving out future final tablists Mueller & Naalden!) I didn't think Nolan was going to publish the Top-3 finishers category, which is why I wasn't concerned with updating that data to include Eric Baldwin. Once I saw that he sent it out, I made sure that Baldwin was added, and he showed up in last night's official email. Okay, this makes sense to me now.

I went out of my way to mention that to Nolan last night, because Baldwin got his third-place finish after I compiled the list that I sent Nolan. You said a "couple" errors -- what are the others?

I thought about putting them up on Pokerati ... still might. Not very pokery, though. Johnny, have you seen the video and photos yet from the car explosion?

(I passed those on to Nolan, because he found them interesting.) FYI, you should note that Ville Lunkin is listed there twice, because he qualifies as a 1st + 2nd, and also has multiple top-3 finishes (because he also has a third-place finish). The statistical anomaly here is that with 11 people making the Top-2 two or more times, not a single one of them has two second-place finishes. Based purely on the numbers, 3 2/3 of those 11 people should *not* have bracelets. At least somebody understood the stats I compiled! (I passed those on to Nolan, because he found them interesting.)
