I'm trying really hard not to be tempted to the Pizza that is on the table right next to me. It smells great. Anyone hungry?

starving parents are away for the weekend and i went into kitchen still don't know what the kettle looks like
found some bread in the cupboard so i am having dry bread and a tin of tennants for my breakfast just now

Sounds far too healthy and nourishing!

[Mrs C]

We are down to 54 players.

The blinds are 700 - 1400

The plan I believe is to play down to 28 tonight, so a fair few hours left in it still for me. yawn.

[Mrs C]

I just want to say a big thank you to Lucky blind, Mike Lacey, for helping out with the old reporting here in the cardroom tonight.

no my first post of the day said i wasnt gonna predict a winner as i am always wrong

so i will predict 3 people that wont make the final 3 and then they might all get a good pay day

they are tikay, elblondie and padraig
