PARIS WPT DAY TWO

[Djinn]

There are a couple of 100k+ stacks floating about.  One of them is Roland de Wolfe who seems to have added about 10,000 to his chips every time I do the circuit of his room.  He's also a pretty good hand rememberer which comes in useful.  Journalists, eh.  Who let them play cards anyway?  Full current chip counts on their way, via the renewed miracle of the internet.

i thought hands like that only happened online 

[Djinn]

Some new counts then:

Andrew Black   44,000 (recovered nicely from earlier)
Roy Brindley     58,000 (says he's hardly found a hand but every one he's played he's won. Quote:  "I'm encouraged")
Juha Helppi      29,000
Noah Boeken   72,000
Peter Heighway  10,000
Stuart Nash        32,000
Roland De Wolfe 105,000
Bruce Atkinson    41,000
Rob Hollink          25,000
Adam Lounis       78,000
Curt Kohlberg      80,000
Stephane Cohen  82,000
Tim Anders         65,000  (this guy has the most amazing long white hair, suit, straw hat and comedy sunglasses, and he's about 8 feet tall)

[Djinn]

Noticeable by their absence and therefore to be marked as OUT are:

Rory Liffey
Tobey Maguire
Surinder Sunar
Jani Sointula
Carlo Citrone

Thanks Jen

How many are they going to play down to tonight?

Oh and don't forget to regale us with the menu when you get back from dinner.... say what you want about the French they can cook a bit.

cordon blu

So there are 43 players remaining.  The blinds were just at 600 - 1200, ante 100 so we are guessing 800 - 1600 next but we press people don't know for sure as any bit of paper left lying on our little bench is nicked within two minutes of our vacating it if it has anything to do with the tournament. 

They are looking on track to get down to 27 within the next two blind levels, although I don't know if they'll then just pack it in right away or wait until a convenient level-up moment.

Hi RobertHM - Dave and Brian have gone for dinner but I have bravely decided to soldier on here (might be something to do with the long lunch I had during the internet downtime).  I can describe my lunch for you if you like - Rolf treated me to a lightly crisp salad with fresh tuna and ripe tomatoes, little bits of egg and a savoury vinaigrette dressing, served with the unlikely accompaniment of some hot chocolate.  Mmm.
