No-ones seen Ben Grundy all day, apologies.  I don't know how you missed Wernick, hotdog, he topped the list of counts and all...

DC is sick, maybe that will cure his no-limit luck

as long as I did not have a % of DC I would say he is at the right place at the right time

Good luck to him and all the Blonde still alive, off to Chicago to go to Ozz Fest, good to have good friends to pickup the parts of a tragic life! (so I paid for them to come to Vegas after I won, they owe me a good night)

Rookie, off to the US

[Ironside]

note to self dont get involved when you have chips with another player with a stack
espically when all you have is flush draw 2nd set and a low draw and he just has top set

cause your likely to lose alot thank goodness i hit quads on river and now have a huge chip lead

now can we get more updates before i get involved again

Only ten minutes to go here and time has just flown by.  Tried to get Tikay to go get some sleep but he was determined to race around counting chips, and was very surprised to find he only had a matter of minutes left today...

I have some badly taken photos which I am going to do my best to put on today, otherwise I am sure Rhowena's are better and she understands her camera a little better...

[Djinn]

John Kabbaj falls asleep

[danafish]

Hey Jen, keep thinking you're in because I can see your sneakers. You'll be so proud of the time I've wasted on pokerstars! There's some great fish in the fridge, get it before the cat does

[Djinn]

Rob Yong OUT - we saw him stand up a minute ago and when he started heading this way the news couldn't be good... says he lost 8 pots on the trot.

Dana hope you're winning, back in a bit.
