French player news - only found Paul Testud so far, who had 9,400 after the first hour or so.  Other than that Rolf assures me that there's a pretty low French turnout - or they all went out before I got here

Testing out my new camera, I tested on Rolf Slotboom.  Here he is, the standard by which all updaters are measured... He is a bit blurry here but I am just testing to see if I have managed to shrink the file to a size which can be posted.  It takes me a while to work out my new technologies.

There is a notable lack of Dave Colclough here - I will endeavour to track him down and find out what happened.  Likewise Jonas Helness.  The main ballroom-type tournament area has oh-so-quietly filled with cash games, which might be a place to start. 

Since the field has so quickly reduced itself, there's been a slight change of plan.  Instead of playing down to 80 tonight (there are now 83) it will go to level 11 (we're on level eight), which is being estimated at 2am.  So I'll get a chance to redeem myself for the quiet start... Oh and Tony has landed and will be here any minute.  It's all clicking into place..

The blinds are currently at 400 - 800, and to give you some idea of how well your friends are doing, the average chips are 22,500.

******************CORRECTION********************

Just because I've been wandering round for the last couple of hours without bumping into him doesn't mean El Blondie is out.  In fact, he has 20,000-odd and has been moved to Julian's table.  Picture coming to prove he's really there.

How Bout NOAH updates and PICs

Here is Mr C, and less blurry than others you're about to get (ah how I miss Rhow) because he gave me a tip about keeping my arms still....

Tight scottish git who only plays  asp  ah

the American:  Noah just took a big hit after a dealer error - the flop was dealt without the big blind being given the option to raise.  Noah was in the small blind (with QQ, as it happens) and had just limped like one other person.  When the cards were being taken back to be reshuffled, big blind man decided to push all-in with King high, and was called by Noah.  They didn't stand up, however and he's dropped below average chips.  Pics coming next round...

The Milkybar Kid and Henry Nowakowski (partial).  Told you I'm not great at this... come on Tikay with steady hands, I've had too much free tea.  Did I mention the service here is impeccable?
