Play has begun, and although I struggled to spot early action other than you might expect with a 10k stack, 90 min clock and 25/50 blinds, Dana says she's seen some odd play already, chips are flying on at least one table.
I saw one flop: it involved Kevin O'Connell raising preflop to 200, getting three callers and a
flop. Checks all round, and then Kevin called a 600 bet on the
turn only to fold on the
river to a 1,600 bet. His chip count, therefore: 14,200.
Meanwhile the floor was called as a becowboy-hatted latecomer sat down in a seat 9, but didn't give the dealer his seat ticket. "Didn't they give you a card when you bought in?" asked the dealer. "No," replied the jovial American, "I gave them €10k, they didn't give me anything at all." Oops.

Good Lord, craziness here already. I just saw a gentleman call off about half his stack with A-Q on a King-high board. The gentleman who raised him obviously had fourth pair. Amazing.
Meanwhile I have found Mr Michael Martin, who says "Hi mom!" for when Ms TheReader appears. He says he's tired, but appears most cheerful. He's right at the back of the room, next to the window, and as I was chatting to him the curtains opened and oh my God the sunshine! I could live here forever and I swear I'd never get used to it. Will most surely get some photos of the awesome, awesome view, as soon as Snoopy lets me have the camera.
My first circuit of the cardroom in numbers:
Cowboy hats = 4
Pink/fuchsia shirts = 5
Times Steve Frezer pulled my hair = 1
Extra green chips that Maz Nawab has somehow added to his stack = approximately 10
Miniature salamis/woodland animal poos I have consumed = 8 urrrrr

A crowd has formed around a table, and it is because Daniel Negreanu, Paul Testud, a Mateygent sat in what must not be the funnest place to be today in that he directly to Daniel Negreanu's right, and a Canadian gentleman called Benoit Gariepy (omg I love it when people have their names on their shirts) are seeing a flop. Said flop is
. They unspectacularly check it.
Turn -
and now Mateygent bets 300. Negreanu and Benoit call, Paul Testud passes.
River -
and Mateygent bets 700. To which Negreanu makes it 2k. Benoit passes, and Mateygent dwells up, grinning. He seems very pleased with himself. I think it's because Daniel Negreanu's just raised him. The crowd around the table is now unreasonably large for a smallish pot in Level 1. Eventually he folds. How happy he looks to be losing to Daniel Negreanu! Or something.

Hi!
I have an quite unusual request for you guys today.
Any chance you could take some kind of closeup pic of some chips? would like to know how close those replica sets are to the real thing:)
Ok, shall do, although a curious thing - yesterday the 5k chips were white, and today they are a sort of beigey brown colour. Either somebody spilled their coffee on them, or, more likely, they are today using for the tournament the chips that they were yesterday using in the sit n gos. So bear in mind that there may indeed be more than one design of Official Pokerstars EPT Tournament Chips, if that's what you have...
----------
Andrew Teng is currently on 13,450 and sharing a table with fellow Brits, Manuel Palanca (12,575 - "I keep bluffing off my chips, that's my problem"), Paul Ephremsen (11,500 - "I've had A-K beaten twice") and Paul Bracken (15,000 "We had a great piss up in Manchester last year"), not to mention a cucumber cool Mats Iremark, the EPT Dueville winner flying high with almost 30k in chips.

While I was
sunning myself
taking photos for your edification, Mr Maz Nawab wandered outside. He was shaking his head and was clearly in serious need of nicotine - "I was up to 19 or 20k. I don't really know why I got involved with this German kid." Must admit I feared the worst for a moment, but it turns out he's currently on a Just Fine 16 or 17k. Apparently the hand in question involved Maz holding a pair of Nines and Kid German holding Jacks, although Maz was fairly sure he had A-K or similar. That hand saw him drop down to around 12k, but he's been doing a pretty good job of clawing it back since.
---------
Like a machine gun rattling out an flurry of bullets, a swift raise, re-raise, re-re-raise, all-in, call causes a sudden showdown on the far table, one man turning over Kings, the other Aces. A King-less board later and we're a Spaniard down, leaving young American Joe Udine to stack up his newly acquired stack whilst simultaneously thanking the Poker God's for his good fortune.
-----------
Another famous face that has been spotted today is Italian Pirate and former WSOP bracelet winner Max Pescatori. As I joined his table, he was seemingly praying to the poker gods with his hands clasped before him. With a 7h-5d-Th Flop on board, Max had called an initial bet of 1.2k, only to find Mateyboy push all-in for 8k behind him, with the initial aggressor following suit with an all-in of his own. Hesitant to fold at first, Max did eventually pass, likely pleased to see the aggressor turn over 5h-5c for a set of Fives. Surprisingly, the all-iner could only muster a Ac--Kc (he understandably smirked when he saw how much trouble he was in), and quickly exited stage left as the turn and River dealt out blanks.

I'm afraid all we know currently about number of runners etc is that there are 449 remaining at this moment in time. From the virtual pen of Ms Mad Harper:
dear all
I don't think I'll have a full list for today until about 6pm. The tournament team had a computer problem - it's now fixed but it's set them back time-wise.
Best wishes

Here it is: The back of Boris Becker's head. Yes, as you see he's attracted quite a media frenzy, being famous for at least one thing other than poker...
As I pretended to be much more interested in Runar Runarsson (the guy with the sunglasses looking suspiciously upwards) the media gent opposite me kept a firm track on the tennis star's face and a floorman or security person came up to me and insisted I turn my flash off. I was then sort of watched as I went to the nearby tables, and felt it only prudent not to annoy him on that round.
Incidentally, all this concern being shown about Boris at the table (i.e. Stop the Flashing or he Might Get Distracted in his First Big Tournament) seems counterintuitive - he's surely creating a lot of media buzz for Pokerstars and must be used to the paparazzi blinding him with their cameras by now. I do, however, feel for the other players at the table.

Slightly disappointed by the hat after all that build up.
How about that of Wooka Kim? She seems an intriguing character, what with the, er, hat, and the shades and the big box of Macadamia chocolates. Like she might have bumped off a rich husband and be fleeing the country, stopping only for a brief high-stakes poker tournament.
Not really, of course - she actually won the Everest Poker 'Live the Dream' package which means she may be a familiar face on the tournament circuit for a while to come. Well done her.

With Dana and Jen doing hatwatch, hoodiewatch, wristwatch and every other watch under the sun, I feel I should get involved with a watch of my own.
Drum roll please maestro...
BORISWATCH
After a slow (ahem) back and forth start, Boris has dropped down to 7,925 after locking horns with Mateyboy. After some brief pre-flop action, Boris check-raised a T-8-x Flop, and Mateyboy called. Both players checked down the raggy Turn and River before Mateyboy revealed T-8 to take the pot. Boris, meanwhile, showed an inferior pair of Pocket Nines.

Sharing a table with Gavin Griffin is Jon Friedberg, just one of many players in this room who seem to have won a World Series bracelet. He currently has 8,725 after doubling up an opponent. "Do I have to show if I call?" asked Frieberg as his foe pushed all-in for 1,950 on a
Flop. The answer, not surprisingly, was yes, but this didn't seem to deter the American, Jon calling with
and being shown
. At this point, Gavin Griffin piped in with a "You would have folded if you didn't have the Ace of Clubs," but that joke almost turned into a reality, the Turn bringing a
before a
River left one player mighty relieved.
Also on this table is a sunglassed up to the max Joris Jaspers with 17,925, and a battered and bruised Gavin Griffin with just 2,450.
