Ok, here's how today is going to work. Sadly this crossover of events coincided with us changing our hotel from the Gold Coast back to the Orleans.
So, I'm here and will be covering the $5,000 six-handed event, then when Jen and Snoopy arrive shortly. They'll take over that and I'll be watching the HORSE Final and reporting on the other thread which starts at 2pm, (10pm UK)
Therefore, start opening up a few tabs!

Pab isn't in his seat where I spotted him earlier and I've not been able to locate him since. Elsewhere I'm not sure JP has managed to get a seat yet, but the room is so huge we could easily have missed him.
The number of entrants for this event is reckoned to be close to 800.

The short-handed nature of this event has meant that it looks like a much larger field as so very many tables are needed to start it off - the giant Amazon room is heaving, and tables are breaking as fast as they are forming. Here are a couple of sets of tablemates:
Jennifer Harman
Phil Laak
Andreas Hagen
Joe Beevers
Jonas Molander (who just so happened to win his first tournament upon arriving in Vegas at the Bellagio, chopping with Iwan Jones for over $60k and going on to win heads up for the $25k WPT seat... nice start)
William Thorsson
Steve Zolotow
Mark Vos
And also spotted (in just one quarter of the main room):
Humberto Brenes
Andy Black
Dave Colclough
Kevin O'Connell
Abel Meijberg
Max Pescatori
Jamie Gold
Martin Wendt
Johnny Lodden
Chip Reese
Barney Boatman
Noah Boeken
Tony G
Per Ummer
Stuart Fox
Jeff Buffenbarger
Joe Hachem
JP Kelly
Jeff Kimber
Sorel Mizzi
Justin Bonomo
Arnaud Mattern
And Many More (pictures of several on Interactive thread).

Found Dusk Til Dawn's Kevin O'Connell (there are a few DTD hats dotted around the room - also spotted DC and Mikka). He was just involved in a threeway pot, betting out 800 on the
flop. The button raised to 2,600 and the third player who'd initially checked folded. This left O'Connell to resignedly pass his
face up...his chips now 6,450.
__________________________
Andy Black on the button bets 800 on an
flop, gets check-called, and checks the following
and
, finding the small blind's
to be good.
__________________________
David Benyamine busts someone sharpish - empty seat and Benyamine stacking up his 17,100.

Henning Granstad was facing a chunky 4k bet on the turn of
board, he passed his
face up and was shown
in return.
El Blondie just took a pot down, he betting the river of a
board against two opponents, getting one caller and showing the
to put him back over the 10k starting stack.

The HORSE final is about to start over at
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=25109.0
---------
Isn't that always the way, just as I pop back into the cardroom in search of hands and fascinating anecdotes, they all disperse for their 20 minute break.
However, whilst they were leaving, I did catch David Daneshgar virtually all-in on
board, his
miles ahead of his opponent's in-need-of-runners
.
But the runners failed to arrive and the popular young American doubles up to around 10k.

Beagle news from the break...
Jeff Kimber is up to 21k after, in his own words, "muppetting some guy with A-Q vs. A-K".
It's not as bad it sounds though (maybe...) - Jeff raised it up to 300, a serial raiser made it 1,100 and Jeff pushed for his opponent's remaining 4.
Ace high flop, runner runner heart. Ouch - if you're gonna muppet your opponent, muppet them in style.
Jeff also added, "Patrick Antonius just sat next down to me, I can't think of anyone else I'd want to see less."

Michael Mizrachi -- 11.3k
Max Pescatori -- 13.8k
Abel Meijberg -- 11.6k
Kirk Morrison -- 12.7k
Jeff Lisandro -- 8k
Daniel Alaei -- 7.8k
Erik Friberg -- 15.6k
Mad Marty Wilson -- 5.6k
Roland de Wolfe -- 17k
Thomas Middelthon -- 21.5k
Jamie Gold -- 20.1k

A dejected Marc Goodwin is OUT.
He missed an opened ended flush draw with 5-6s after re-raising pre-flop. Mateyboy bet a tiny amount on the River, but Marc was forced to fold.
Soon after, he ran Tens into Big Slick - "I just knew he was going to hit," he said in defeat.

Patrick Antonius is OUT. He re-raised all-in with
but found a caller with Ace Queen, which made a Broadway on the river.
"Why does he play these events?" asked one of the reporters, telling me yesterday after busting out of the Horse that he was playing on Full Tilt with $700,000 spread across 4 tables...
Bumped into Barry Neville who said, "Fookin' 'ell, these young American kids are mad. This kid 'ere bets out on a Queen 'igh flop, 'nd this guy raises him, and kid move all in for t' whole stack with Q-5 and other guy calls wit' two pair! Fookin' 'ell."
