My fave is "Job Schipper".

As In-Poker are covering this on Sunday, & for the sake of Compo & myself, please give ultimate boks to Andrew's list. Pronouncing these names might be a bit beyond yours truly. Especially Mr Rodriguezxuarezguall. Yikes.

Looks like 3 names merged into one.

Apologies for lack of information. I have been caught up in discussions that have kept me away from the tournament area. They are now starting level 4, with blinds of 100-200. There are 98 players left from 113 starters. There is also a live webcam in the Unibet site. Its a fixed position camera for people come and vet their spleens at when they get knocked out but I don't think many of the players have done that so far. Instead, I will do the odd Harry Hill impersonation from time to time.

[Royal Flush]

Thanks for doing these Jon

Have you got Flushy in the field today too?

Decided to play golf instead, sent in the Shallow as my reserve!

Players are on a 45 minute break now. Just a bit of news about the last alternate of the day. Less than 24 hours ago he was railing James at the Rio, then he jumped on a plane (probably literally) jetted over the Atlanticand  negotiated is way through customs. He then hopped aboard the Heathrow Express (again probably literally) to Paddington, where he clambered aboard a taxi sped off to the Vic, dumped his suitcases in reception (literally) and clicmbed the stairs to the 2nd floor poker room where he bought in as an alternate. But his journey was not over as he then headed out of the Vic again, picking up suitcases en route and went home to shower, shit and shave (in no particular order) before making his way back to Vic to begin his tilt at the Unibet title. His name, quite literally and yes, you knew it had to be him, is Neil Channing. Well done that man. Now all he has to do is avoid an early exit.

And at which point did someone mention to Neil about the Day 1b alternative ?
