It looks like the rumours about 10,000 + players in the main event may have been just rumours, although there will be double last years entry at least. On Thursday Grumpy and Chubbs are playing, so we'll be supporting them, as Nick and me are not playing till Friday.

Everyone is saying that they are going to play like rocks all day, not playing a single hand unless its AA or KK. The problem with that it that it will cost 12,450 in posted antes and blinds to get through the first day, so you still have to play poker. Also, average chips will be around 33,000, so who wants be still at 10,000 at the end of the day?

I can't wait to start playing now, I either do well or fly home to see my family and friends, so I'm quite happy either way.  However, if I could get a good run in the Big One, it would make up for all the other losses on this trip. To be honest, to get through the Day 1 is going to make up for everything! I think a lot will depend on the table I get, hopefully me and 9 other Internet qualifiers from obscure sites, who will not pass top pair.
