I'm blogging the event with Nick (dino1980) and I'm not going to go into this hugely but.. we've been working bloody hard here. Obviously it's different coverage from what some of you are used to with Blonde but it's a different beast entirely as we're not focussing on one group of players particulalry but trying to cover the width and breadth of the tournament. There are certain players, such as the German Schwade brothers, who we made a effort to follow because players/supporters in Germany had contacted the blog. It's impossible to cover every player in a 400 strong field but requests will be certainly be listened to. Anyway, well played to the blondies that made it deep.

Look us up for a pint in Dublin
 

You are my idol

+1

He is trading but there is a lot of luck.  He openly admits he sees how the game is going and waits to back a team etc. 

All mine is done pre kick off and finished before the game starts.

We also have a new investor coming in for £500.

i presume they are paying 500 plus (500/starting total) x profit so far???

Sort of

They are paying 500 and I will work out the % of the bank that he owns.

I.e. he owns 500 of the £4422 or whatever there is now i.e. 11.3%

Doesn't that make it a bit tricky for you to work out at the end of season given that original stakers percentages would have to change? Or it is that there's now 111.3% to split at the end of the season? You've probably got it all under control...

Good work - onwards and upwards!

Lots of open shoving from the Wright-dog to ensue...

COME ON, NICK-O! Take it down and then you can buy the flat a proper widescreen. (I'm Nick's flatmate in case you didn't know)

Bollckaments to Lolaments - COME ON, WRIGHTY!!!

Nick Wright out ... 3 hands of doom

AK v Chinese Fankie KJ

Frankie turned the straight and rivered the flush leaving Nick with 35k


he then shoved his last 35k in with A2 and ran into JJ


....

Bollockaments. Wp, Nick. Ul gg wp etc

Squirrels had got teh message and buggered off... but I think I may have heard scampering this morning. How do you know he's got to 75k then?

i'm not the only one with squirrel issues then...

p.s. squirrel proof feeder my a

Yeah, the little shites have been burrowing into my roof and as a dutiful citizen I'm following Prince Charles' call to arms by bopping them on the head with a hammer. http://uk.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUKTRE55358220090604

DO YOUR DUTY!!!

I've got 68.5k at the break, thanks for the support Shafty, Dacey, Bainn etc.

Fido watchers, he's got 20k

Well played, mate. Keep it going, refuse the chop and bring in £28k

Squirrels had got teh message and buggered off... but I think I may have heard scampering this morning. How do you know he's got to 75k then?

Stuck in the office with deadline approaching on PokerPlayer. Just wondering how our strategy man Nick 'dino1980' Wright is getting on? We're all hoping for a return on our 10% stakes...

Table 21 seat 3 and still in...

Nick going well. been a busy boy this morning ... up to 75k

Give him a pay rise though FFS, he had that hoody on yesterday !

Good luck that man !

B & H.

Any big hands that Nick gets involved in a little report would be grand Cheers, El Beardo!

75k? Someone did turn his luckbox on after all. Come on, lil' Dino!

Send a thumbs up to Nick Wright, thanks Kev. And if you could flick his luckbox switch (it's automatically on when he's playing online) that would be grand.
