what is snus???

It's like kind of tobacco teabags you insert between your lip and gum.  Hardcore, and pretty much only Scandinavians, and Nik Persaud, do it.

Do it?!!! where's yer grammar?

• understated black suit
• artfully spiky hair
• tin of snus
• quietly accumulating chips
• sent by Expekt

Yes, we have a Scandie.  Fredrik Mikaelsson, the gent we shared the taxi with from our hotel today, is still in and calmly sitting on about 27k.  Expekt a deep run from the quietly spoken player, who is currently hoping that it will be reduced to a three-day event as he's booked to fly home on the Monday.  Such practicality.  Admirable.

Looks like a wild animal pellet.  Yum

She's busy updating in Warsaw.

I've got your Orange bill that arrived today. I won't open it.

Hey Dana - do you know how many places get paid?  Any idea of current chip counts.  Thanks

chip count for Jen pleeeeze

id like to wish the player with the biggest balls the win. I suspect the biggest balls might come from miss mason.  Jen Alex Mcepitome  final 3 ONE TIME!

Ms Mason DOES have the biggest balls - harvested from those who classify her as "just a girl".  I've seen the collection.

Jen steals from the button with a 110k bet. Good woman.

Then steals again with a mere 35k.

Goooooo Jennifer A.  There are, happily, some short stacks on the final table.  Goooo Jen.  What are current blinds?

Good evening Family Mason, by the way! I see you lurking there... Jen and her huge pile of red chips send their love to you both. They're looking a little tired, but we all get a dinner break in half an hour. Except the red chips. They have to stay on the table.

Thanks for good pix and reporting on Jen's progress.  Tell her I'm railing her chez moi as usual in between changing paint brushes from matt to gloss.  Photos and reporting on tournament folk are excellent.  I'd eat my fingernails if they weren't covered in emulsion.  Mudder sez gooooooooooooooo Jen.

Ah the bitter taste of defeat.  GL whomever has me (Djinnrummy) on their table as I am writing from Mother's account (Legume, as you see) having actually gone to her house to play this and spent Level One calling their Customer Services who failed to correctly configure my firewall.  So I turned it off.  No joy.  Now I am waiting for a call back in "the next hour" to see about a refund.  It was just not to be.  Enjoy the free blinds.

tikay is being a very good pensioner and has stacked his chips in nice easy to count columns.

The ol' fella has exactly 109,000

pensioner?  ol'fella?  Shame on you sonopy.  Tell the old f*#t from this old f*#t I've requested at least a podium finish.

When Nick just had his treble-up, there was an ALMIGHTY roar from the Rail. Amazing how much noise Chubby Nowab & Rob Yong can make, eh?

Chubby actually staked our Jen for the £100 tonight, top bloke.

Tikay - will you tell Simon thanks for staking my girl and please, pretty please, keep us informed on Jen's progress.  Tanx

ok Jen, take it your tummy is better now your having Ice cream 

Nothing like two scoops of vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate sauce wedged between two syrupy pears covered in whipped cream with two big biscuits shoved in it to perk you up.

That taint food girlie.

Thanks Dewi for your response to the chip-protector-quiz... going to keep you all hanging for a few more minutes (while I go eat ice cream with a certain Jon Raab) but before I go, here are the fruits of my last scouting...

They've coloured up the green 25 chips (finally, after what seems like aeons of play) and the shorter stacks are more visible - nowhere to hide behind those green towers any more.  Like our friend Nate Keeley who is down to 15,000.

BTW - I don't think you've ever posted the prize structure..... to work.
