Pool Update

Germany's win eliminated six more entries but more importantly, now only 20 can win 1st (was 29).  One of those eliminated was Big Tex, who despite being for 8th place (68 pts), can't win money.  England doomed him.  Argentina's win eliminated just one person and only 18 can win 1st. 

Thirty-three went 2-0 while four went 0-2.  All five who lost their champ (1 USA, 1 ITA, 3 ENG) have been eliminated.  Forza Pazza (80) maintains his six-point lead while I R Winner! Part 2 (67) falls from a tie for 5th to 14th and can't finish higher than 3rd.  Forza Pazza now has a 63.4% chance to win money and 36.9% chance to win 1st.  Hobbes (8th-T), Number 10 (16th-T, 66), and El Chileno (4th-T, 71) all have a 11-14% chance to win 1st.  2nd place EEChick1400 (74) has a 44.2% chance for money.  Remember when there were 29 within 10 points of first place?  Now there are only 6.

At the bottom, Krispy Kicker is the only one who picked GER as his champ and thus, still has a chance for 3rd despite being tied for 63rd place (51).  I Hate Vodka Alot is also tied for 63rd and can still win 4th (Sam's only entry that is still alive -- Vodka cursed him again!).  Coin Tossed remains forever in last with 33 pts but normal picks Princessa and Da Fermo are tied for 65th with 50.

Serrano and LB are tied for 48th with 59 pts but both can win 1st!
