Yes indeed. January has a lot of stuff lined up (I'm not at my most eloquent after a few miles of hiking in the chill winds) - so we'll be following it from country to country as and when it happens...
As for this tournament they've already lost one player (thereby simultaneously creating a chip leader) and if the board can be believed they're down from 270 runners to 269.

Hey all, bit of a trek into the middle of nowhere this one, but I've had my s.s.s and am raring to go.
No player list as of yet, but I have someone on the case.

According to the dude on the mike, Terry Grimley is the early (very early) chipleader after eliminating Shaf from England.

And no, the board can't be believed - the announcer just announced that the runners are over the 300 mark (they're going with a tentative 302) so that means a prize pool has been generated topping €400k, better than last year's record... more on that as it's confirmed.

I'm still pushing for a player list so I can update our Irish viewers on some of the locals. Failing that, I'll go in for the kill and just ask them their names.

The tournament area is one of those Convention Centres, but a particularly plush one (see pictured chandeliers). In fact, this whole hotel is pretty plush, with its own golf course and helipad (there was a miniscule helicopter resting on this as we did what can only be described as our ascent of the Drive). Which makes it all the more irritating that we've had to pay
€30
for the privilege of using the Wifi - I'm not sure how convention goers like this kind of charge, but updaters, generally a poorer, meeker class of attendee, don't like it one bit.

A view of the room, either side of our central command post (we're on a kind of raised dais right in the middle which gives us a great overview of the tournament). Hopefully when we spot something happening, it will be happening to the 3% of players we currently know...

Huuuuuuge action from Table RED/DOG/Chatta
Irishman, Sean Fagen, is OUT.
A-A vs 7-7 vs 5-5 on an x-5-7-x board.
Fagen held the Aces, the chap in the foreground with the headphones (can anyone name him?) had the Sevens and Terry Grimley (early chip leader who eliminated Shaf) was the unlucky set over set guy with Fives.
A blank on the River and Mr headphones took down the pot, although Grimley scooped the sidepot with his Fives.

No sign of Ali, and Maria isn't playing either... although she is present.
Off down the Fitzwilliam soon, apparantly.
