Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Good luck.

Thank you Vince, we are running well so far, 21,600 after 2 levels.

96 entries, of which 83 remain. Think most of the bustees have re-entered, people are "punting" for stacks.

1st break, 3 levels complete, no fuss, no drama, not much happening, 21,000 from 15,000, which I am very happy with considering I have a really awkward seat, with a weak player to my right, and two very strong aggro players lined up right behind me.

Late reg ends after 3 more levels, (dinner break) and my table will be the 2nd to break, so don't plan to get too active or out of line until the table breaks, always assuming I don't befall an accident.

Just for Chompy, here's Leif Force, with his stack of 1,000 @ 150-300 hidden under the dealer button.

The book is ever present with Leif, don't recall ever seeing him at the table without a book, which he appears to be immersed in, though he does not miss a trick and has eyes everywhere.

He plans to limit himself to 4 bullets, apparently.

Edit - inevitably, he is now on bullet 2.

Just spotted Ben Vinson here. Or maybe Adam, never sure which is which. Probably best to say the more handsome of the two.

4 levels complete, barely played a pot that level.

Level 5 now, 200-400, sitting quietly with 20,300.

The hourly volcano eruption at Mirage.

This must be the most boring update ever, nothing happening. Send for Tal.

Level 5 done and dusted, still sitting with much the same, 20,400, blinds now 250-500.

Late reg ends after this level, when we get a 30 minute "dinner break".

Once late reg ends, the game starts proper.

13 levels are due to be played tonight, or until 11% of the field remain, whichever is sooner.

That means we need to be aiming for 150,000 by close of play to be average (if 90% of the field are busto), though blinds will only be 1,200-2,400 in level 13, so 50,000 would be plenty.

Anyway, best not get ahead of ourselves.

Interested to see how many runners they get.  Gl today, I'm hoping to play 1b if I can keep my eyes open (just about to leave for Newquay airport).  Let the potential 30 hours awake straight begin here , only had < 10 last 2 nights put together . Worth it though.

oioi, be great to see you Rob.

This will get the best part of 300 entries, IMO. It has 115 so far, and tomorrow is likely to be last chance saloon, so much bigger.

Pleased to hear there are direct flights from Newquay to McCarron.

It comes A-6-High-High-High and my A6 is enough.
