Richard Gryko is OUT, suspicions aroused by seeing him walking down the stairs in the direction of OUT, and confirmed by John Raab saying, "By the way, Richrd Gryko is OUT."

[jpean]

Hello everybody,

Just arrived and read all before...

Good Luck to Jen and to the other blondes here !!!

Snoop and Dana... Could you find a hat for Mr Nicolas Levi... He seems to have forgoten his luck with it at home

[NoflopsHomer]

Righteo, my tummy is rumbling like a volcano, so I believe a quick trip to MacDonalds is in order. Back soon! Be sure to post any requests you might have for when the players return to the felt.

In the meantime, he's a completely irrelevant, but highly amusing picture of a llama to keep you entertained whilst I munch on a Quarter Pounder. Hmm, looks like a girl I once went out with. Dated worse though, present partner excluded, of course.

Are they doing that thing where the players get served dinner at the table and the press get nothing? That sucked last time. If you have time go to that Thai restaurant round the corner. Jon Raab knows which one.

Hello everybody,

Just arrived and read all before...

Good Luck to Jen and to the other blondes here !!!

Snoop and Dana... Could you find a hat for Mr Nicolas Levi... He seems to have forgoten his luck with it at home

It's not that he's forgotten his luck at home, it's just that his luck is all over the place. He's currently up to 7k. "That's improvement!" say I. "Yeah, I won't die easily," says he...

On alternate Frenchwatch, Anthony Roux is down to around 6k.

[NoflopsHomer]

Torstein Iversen   33350

Good luck to Torstein, he played just one of these last year. And bubbled.

[danafish]

Are they doing that thing where the players get served dinner at the table and the press get nothing? That sucked last time. If you have time go to that Thai restaurant round the corner. Jon Raab knows which one.

Ooooh, will definitely be making an effort to find that one day this week, or maybe one of the many fine Lebanese restaurants serving assorted grilled animals, mmm...

Yes, the players got dinner at the tables and most reported it to be very nice, although Barny Boatman was complaining about the lack of chili in the Thai chili chicken, and Jen told me with horror that she ate a bit of tofu by mistake. Have to say though we've been treated extremely well up in the press room, with big plates of sandwiches and danish pastries appearing at regular intervals, plus we greedily ate McDonalds hamburgers in the break. Full of grease. Here is Snoopy, ready to get back in the fray:

[snoopy1239]

Great updates Guys.

If he is still in can you say hi and good luck to James Honeybone please.

I met James at the Manila leg of the APPT where he won the pre main event tournament the Manila Cup.

Really nice lad from New Zealand, can get quite vocal at times, but only because he is passionate about his game.

Thank You.

James Honeybone will be making the short trip back to New Zealand, he was a post-dinner victim of Burnley John Falconer, who is now up to the vertigo inducing heights of 29,700. John raised it up pre-flop with Aces, before betting every street of a K-J-3-J board, all the chips eventually going in on the Turn. James revealed K-Q and failed to hit one of his two outs.

[snoopy1239]

JC, Dana, and Sloppy.

Do you have a chip count for Colin Kennedy please, and could you wish him all the best from me as well.

Certainly, my dear Karabiner. Mr Kennedy (Kennnnneeeeeedddddy - that gag's for a very niche audience) is currently on 7,500 and sandwiched between these two chaps.

Jen Update.

Jen is drunk. 2 glasses of wine has done for her and she spent the short dinner break with myself, Dana and Snoopy in Macdonald's, alternating between violent outbursts, sleeping for a few moments then suddenly waking up and threatening to bite people. If she starts foaming at the mouth, whichever government department that deals with infection control are surely going to swoop in, tranquillise her and take her away to be quarantined in their rabies section.

Nonetheless she has 11k and at 150 300, she knows this is a crucial level and she told us her aim is to acquire 20k by the end of the level.

Good luck to the sozzled sausage I say.


Some more random counts.

Trigg, perk up, your boy Priyan De Mel, who I agree has a great game is on 17k.

Sadly, your other pick is doing less well. James Akenhead, the former train driver and current hitsquadder falling behind with only 7k to his name...

Knut Russtard, is going along in similar vein to the legendary ruler as a steady tide of chips keeps moving in his direction although he obviously differs from his historical namesake in that he is not trying to keep them at bay.

King Knut marches on with 23k, his regal background only slightly undermined by Dana's decision to rhyme his surname Russtard with custard.

Nik Persaud is a little off the pace, sitting on a slightly lowly 8,500.

Micky Wernick is doing just dandy at the moment with 16,500.


 

[snoopy1239]

Can you wish Graham 'chompy' wheldon good luck please?

and chip count for him & mark harris please.

picture of chompy too, he text me to tell me he looks 'stunning' today, i very much doubt it but need proof. thanks.

vince

He's in a bit of a tough spot for good luck messages, but I did manage to flash the camera in his face and grab his chip count. He's on 18,125.

[jpean]

I suppose that there are some tables "destroyed"...

Could we have the distribution after the break ?

in fact, who does seat with Jen, Devilfish, and the frenchies ?

[danafish]

Devilfish has taken possession of a sizeable percentage of Bardi Rajah's remaining chips (not sure how he found himself short, but he's on a crazy table).

Rajah limped from one off the cut-off, and Devilfish raised to 1100 from the button. The blinds got out of the way, and Bardi called to see a flop, which was - they both checked it. They also checked the turn, and Bardi checked the river before Devilfish put in a cheeky 1500 bet. Rajah folded. "I flopped a pair..." said Devilfish, turning over  . He's on around 20k now; Rajah's down to just over 3k.
