Not as easy as I hoped finding the 'name' players. So many unknowns.

It's like picking the peanuts out of a sea of poo.

hmm

on second thoughts, maybe the 'needle in a haystack' analogy would be more appropriate.

hope you got your comfy shoes on, thats a great big bloody hall to trapse around

[Djinn]

OK, Sweeny - I'll have a haddock and chips, Dr. Pepper

Soxy - Not sure but if he's here we'll find him eventually

Robert HM - Going to slowly gather the database - early pics coming

matt - yes, there's a queue all the way down the hall just for the privilege of standing as a spectator.  Perhaps luckily for us they're being held back at the door for now by security guys and we're sneaking in to get some photos.

Corkins, Chen, Chessa, Tony G

Note that Chessa is in full Ribena Berry mode today - a true return to form

Batteries in camera, typically, just went as I came about halfway through the hall, but found on the first circuit are also:  Swimmer With The Devilfish Des Wilson (whose table neighbour looks a bit like that robot in 'Metropolis')

Of course!  Nothing but comfy shoes these past two weeks!  Even snuck into VIP bit of club in Treasure Island with them on, OK for only half an hour but it was a coup of sorts... 

[The Sweeney]

Jen, had you down as a kebab and can of Lilt girl.....

Damn it, another misread!

[Djinn]

Would go with any chippy breakfast option right now, to be honest...

But Mickey Wernick looks fairly perky - Hello from him to Jon Raab, if you're out there somewhere in cyberspace today.  I can point you toward your, er, needle in haystack if you make it down here and they let you in

Here's a good picture (if I do say so myself) - a little chat between Roland 'Full Tilt' De Wolfe, and the chap who came second to him in the WPT Paris last year - Juha Helppi.  Thought they might be on the same table for a minute, and felt for the qualifiers sanwiched between them, but in fact it looks like there's only Gus Hansen as a tablemate of Juha's...
