WSOP Main Event 2006 - Day 1c - Interactive

Karabiner...

It's late in the day, and time to award my Climber of the Day Prize!

And it goes to....Richard Gryko (hello Mother Of Richard - he knows you've been up all night)

Last spotted on a different table with a small hill of green and black chips (c.24,000), he's now got foundations of yellows (1k) which put him in contention for the chip leader for day 1c with 120,000+.  No wonder he looks more awake than most of his table.

Thank you Jen it makes it all worthwhile to see his smiling face...he seems to have been gone ages but at least he is enjoying

And with half an hour or so of play left today, there's just time to whip round getting a few late-nite photos and counts before it's time to dodge the taxi queue.  Still fairly heaving here, with spectators actually getting a chance to get up to the rail now and get an overview of the remaining 960 players.

For Queen of Hearts - a 2am Stuart Nash, with a stack of around 38,000

Hi Jen

Shifts, you and Snoopy, are a great idea.

Do you know if Stuart Nash is still in - haven't heard anything since about 06.00 GMT.

[Djinn]

And short stacked Neil Channing, nursing his 11,200 and this clearly empty coffee cup, which he got me to throw away for him.  He'll be saying, "Get me a coke" any minute now..

Hi Jen

You beat me to it - your brilliant!

Finally snapped ex-Fashion Violator George Danzer, who at the time I thought was challenging the top stacks, with over 70k.  Still, not bad, considering what's happened to him in some of the other tourneys this Series.  He's not dwindled once, and has such an aggressive game that that's not likely to happen.

And Mr. Flusfeder, resplendent in white, who told me in the last break that he'd been "hovering around 12k" for a good long time...

Tablemates Ben Grundy and Nick Gibson, who both gave little shakes of the head when their stack was peered at.

Nick:    13,500

And I can hear the OverVoice in the Amazon Room telling all spectators to Please Vacate the Area, which means it's nearly chip bagging time.  I'll be doing the early bit tomorrow, as I'm escaping in the evening - but generally shifts aren't the best way to deal with huge fields, unless they're shifts of two.  But needs must, and I'll get the accurate counts for all your favourites when they magically appear in the Press Room tomorrow.

A round of applause just broke out audible from the Press Cave, as the Voice tells the happy gamblers that they've Made Day Two!  Congratulations to them all, and good night.

Ordinarily I would have legged it at this point, but I was waylaid by Brian 'The Rookie' Wilson, whose story is amusing enough to make the cab wait worthwhile...

He's worked back up to 30,000 at the last minute, "playing the best No Limit Hold'em of my life' and then when it got down to the final hands of the night, dropped the F-bomb, received his ten-minute penalty and said, "Thank God for that - now I can't give them back at the end of Day One!" 

His moves in the last level included re-re-raising all-in preflop to push someone off (they got shown for their troubles) and just basically going on the tear.  Now they're reassigning seats, and I'll try to catch up with him when he emerges, any minute.

Good Night, Take II.

Good work Jen My little Muffin.
