Yes, we're up and running, with the help of a very long internet cable, and a kind lady who sorted out our press stuff in double quick time.  I cannot begin to describe the annoyance of spending four fruitless hours arguing with different people over the phone at Heathrow yesterday, only to find that I had to drag poor Chris back for a 4 hour sleep before heading back out airportwards.  Again.

I would like to add that nobody, nowhere, nohow should EVER use Southall Travel.  Ever.

OK Chris is taking photos and getting up to speed with your requests; meanwhile I am going to start a 'lite' thread, get a cup of coffee, and count the chips of your favourites.  That I know of.  Phew.

Others noted, occasionally with their chips too -

Marc Goodwin
Mark Boudewijn
Ramzi Jelassi       (says he's redeeming himself for that Jack-high hand with some tightness - "I passed two red Queens to an utg raise, and re-raise..."
Praz Bansi          (The bracelet-holder had just 900 when I saw him, and a sad expression, last seen walking downstairs in an 'out' sort of way)
Karl Mahrenholz   13,600   (Stacked in annoying tower; was tablemate of Praz)
Rob Hollink         16,000
Jim Kerrigan        11,000
Johan Storakers   6,000
Jin CaiLin            14,200
Jan Heitmann     13,200    (On a table being very heavily filmed at the moment.  Wonder if it's because of him.)
Tony Chessa       8,500    (Also on table film-y, looking a little flustered)
Bad Girl              10,600
Jonas Molander     (Just pushed her off a pot)
Mickey Wernick    3,850
Steve Vladar       21,200

Mr. Kerrigan says he's had quite a day already, from being on the wrong side of a KK vs. AA confrontation, to then picking up 10 10 which he raised under the gun.  The big blind called.
Flop:  7 8 9  So not unreasonable... the big blind was prepared to move for all his chips, though, and did, with 5 6 for the flopped bottom straight.
Turn:  10
River:  9

Well, that's one way to do it.  The laconic Kerrigan remarked, "Very nice."

Guess who else is here?  Woody Deck!

He's on 22,000 after what he admits as "The sickest outdraw.  Against this young tight kid.  All the way from Australia."  Do you vultures want to hear it?  Course you do...

Woody finds under the gun.  Calls.  Then the doomed player raises to 900.  Woody calls.
Flop:    Woody checks, Matey bets, he calls.
Turn:     I can only quote him now - "I think for a second I have a double gutshot, then realise it's still just a gutshot.  And now that completes the rainbow.  So... I bet out 2,300."
Matey raises to 5,000 (leaving himself 2,400).  Not feeling, perhaps, that he's committed, Woody makes "a bad read."  He moves in, call with set of Kings from Mateyboy.
River:     Ouch, and goodbye....

El Blondie doubles up news now. After receiving 4 limpers on his BB, Dave pushed for 2,375 with blinds now 150/300 Ram folded, but the 2nd limper immediately pushed for his 4k or so. Everyone else passed.

DC ("Show me tens," he said packing up his stuff):

 

Matey:

 

Board:

 

Dave on over 5k now. Julian just told me he was down to 525 earlier holding 55 on a 9-2-5 rainbow flop. Matey had 99.

John Kabbaj -- 25k

Micky Wernick is OUT. Moved in from the button with AQ but one of the blinds had pocket cowboys.

Willie Tann had 44 vs QJ

Jen here - we are kind of rotating one internet cable with another poor unfortunate, so you may get Collective Posts occasionally -

Dave Colclough triples up:

Having built up his stack from under 2k when we arrived to what must have been around 7k just now, he got it all in with against, er, (for Ram) and ...
Flop: 
Turn:  two spades
River:    Which NoFlops reliably informs me was, in fact, the case seven (the other having been folded next to him!)

22,000 for the Blonde One.

John Kabbaj doubles someone's up with his -
Flop:    (so an understandably interested 5 6 for Matey)
Turn:
River:   - at which half the table announces, "Straight!" and the other half, "Flush!"

So now blinds are 200/400, it's level 6.
110 players remaining, according to the TV, which rarely lies, as we all know.

I was kind of joking before, but it does look like the camera crew hovering around Jan Heitmann's table is actually hovering around Jan Heitmann...

He's won the last two confrontations I saw, with the last being a small blind vs big blind type:

The sb must have raised preflop  because on the flop of he chose to bet what looked like 3,000.  BB Jan eventually called.  Maybe it's the media circle round him, but he acts like he may be raising through molasses.  Better to think things through, of course, than just rush headlong into betting the turn...
Turn:     Now the small blind Matey checks, and Jan, after another deliberation, bets 3,800.  The SB can't call, and his stack reaches 23,000.
