Wouldn't go out for a fag in the break, tikay. It's howling with wind and raining sideways.

Hi Mr B,

Welcome to Vegas.

Am currently at The Venetian. Tomorrow depends on what happens here tonight, we have just shy of 3 levels of play  remaining, and I am trying to make day 2.

If I bust out, I will be at The Rio tomorrow, working at the Media Centre in the morning, and playing cash later, so maybe we can sort something then.

I know, really cold, too. Shocking.

Thanks Marky.

Level 10 complete, gave a few back that level, but nothing serious, just a flesh wound.

Got 48,000 @ 800-1,600, average is 47,596 with 52 left.

Pots get very big in this, so anything could happen.

Am trying to do most of my play in the Big O rotations, as that is my strongest game, and I feel much more comfortable in that.

It all sort of plays itself from here.

Good work.

GL Mr. K. 😀

Just lost 12,000 when I got rivered in a 3 way 35,000 pot. Bugger.

Got 4,000 back next hand when a shortie playing 12,000 opened to 4,000 and I set him in with A-3-4J-K cc. Remarkably, he folded.

Another table move, as we break to 6 tables with 48 left.

Good luck Tony, have they put up the prizepool or is this day 1a?

[tikay]

We are on a 10 minute break at end of level 11, then we play (I hope) 2 more levels today before we call it a day.

Still going backwards, 40,000 going back to 1,000-2,000.

Squeaky bum time, not desperate by any means, but if we find a nice balanced hand in the next Big O rotation, think we will have to spin. Not keen on coming back tomorrow with 7 or 8 Bigs, better to go for it tonight. 47 left, 20 paid, so a long way off the money yet.

Hi Simon, there is no day 1b, it finishes tomorrow.

Prize pool is $162,000 I think, min cash $2,100, $43,000 to the winner,

20 bigs is fine in Pot Limit, pick some good spots in Big O and fingers crossed!

How is Robert doing?

Keep up the gd work Tikay.

Halfway through Level 12, have yet to play a hand, am slowly slipping into poo-ville. Big O is next, fingers crossed.

I will be at 12 bigs if I find nothing this level, so it's a bit marginal as to whether I shove or wait.

42 left.

Robert has just moved to my table - to my immediate right. This will get messy. He looks to have around 50,000.

40 left.
