Is there anybody you want me to keep an eye on?

Enjoying your blog Snoops.  You checked out the Tilted Kilt or the Voodoo Lounge yet?

My spider senses inform me that Hollywood actor Tobey Maguire is OUT.

Although I haven't spotted them yet, word has it that Dutch Boyd, Tony Bloom and Joe Sebok are all playing, with the latter being up there with the chip leaders.

Excellent job, Jen and snoops .... got to retire, but I look forward to reading your updates in the morning.

Get some coffee, red bull, women ... or whatever it takes to carry you through!

Much appreciated

Jon.

My spider senses inform me that Hollywood actor Tobey Maguire is OUT.

My spidey senses inform me that a spider big enough to put a saddle on has just galloped across the ceiling!

Voodoo Lounge has been on the cards for a while now, but we haven't got round to it. I'm sure we'll squeeze it in somewhere, it's only fair that some of the hotties in Vegas get the chance to meet me.

Jennifer Leigh

Not famous, but has a load of cameramen around her. Can't imagine why...

A rather jet lagged blondeite...

Jeremy 'Jezza' Bates

Although Crypto informed him that his Day 1 was on Sunday, Jezza arrived today to find out that he was actually scheduled in for today!! So, with a dwindled stack of 8.5k, Jezza has raced in and is now having his Day 1 today! Incredible cock up.

Dan Harrington is OUT.

The veteran and former Main Event winner who made two consecutive finals in 2003 and 2004 (a feat which is often greeted as one of poker's greatest complishments) was finally eliminated by another veteran of the game.

Mike Sexton's Pocket Queens were more than enough to fend off Harrington's flush draw, which never arrived.

Harrington received a much deserved round of applause.

See Ben is logged in.  Just want to say my thoughts are with you at this time.


All the best for Sunday,


Davemac (your Tilted Kilt pool partner from WSOP05)

Hello again - I have had a small nap under the table in the press room instead of a dinner break, which has perked me up no end.  As has the sight of MadYank about 7 hours in to his 72-hour heads up Guinness World Record Attempt.  Must really try not to yawn around him...

Anyway, there has been some consternation among players of days 3 and 4 especially that there seems to be a noticeable lack of famous pro-types playing today...I wonder whether it will all get tougher later in the week.  Nah, probably just as tough with any field of four figures.

Rob Sherwood -- 29,500

Apprantly, he's been "speculating, but not accumulating"
