WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E Day 1 Live Update - Interactive

[Djinn]

We're here!  After only 17 hours of travel yesterday, we're settled in to our Resort (no less) and commuting on time to the Rio Media Centre in the Rio Convention Centre in the Rio in Las Vegas in Nevada in the USA!

We'll be bringing you the live and interactive blonde update experience right here on this thread ("Lite" updates on parallel thread if you want the bare bones.  Please do not post on the "At a glance" thread).

Snoopy is getting his first glance of the incredible size of the ballroom thing in which people are already playing something (satellites?  who knows?) and we're getting ready for the start of this high-buy-in prestige all-rounder HORSE event.  That's at 12pm here - 8pm back in the UK.

Paul Phillips' blog said 37 entries when he signed up. Will it get over 50 Jen?

The glory of a media pass: we have real chairs, and wifi and a desk and free coffee (going to have to go easy on that) and croissants and it's all a nice temperature.  Compared to the sit-in-hallathon of last year, this is going to be luxury...

Just going to see what's going on in the other room - Snoopy's computer is acting up again and the wifi looks to be MINE all MINE at the moment, so his nice photos will be usurped by me.  And shown to you.  In a moment.

Already 97 according to a sign in the Media Centre - who'd have thought...

[Bongo]

Can you wish Paul Phillips good luck from me?

He won't have a clue who I am but the thought kind of amuses me.

I said it would pass 100! Make me right! Jen if its 99 i am putting you in it.

A blonde live update and you have managed to get usurped in there already- is there some sort of side bet/pool between you and spoony as to who can get the most obscure words in their posts?

Here's Snoopy's impression of the Scale of the room as it is now - full already and not past noon...

I played a game of horse on Full Tilt the other night, was going fine until I played my kkQQ extremely aggressively during the 7 card stud, shame the round had moved onto Razz...

I'm always playing that game, it's an idiosyncrasy I intentionally foster, at the cost of accusations of verbosity due to the prolix nature of my prose style. 

Expect shorter posts when the coffee wears off.

The Scrabble nationals are in Phoenix...

We reckon this is where the HORSErs are heading- quite formidable stack of chips they get.  And I should hope so too, for $50k... will try to get a full player list for you, in case you're as curious as we are as to who's playing.
