Bit sick of everyone slamming the updates, having worked side by side with Nick and Rick in Tallinn, they work as hard as anyone.

I don't think the software is the greatest for working with but w/e.

Oh and Nick (dino1980) has done some updates for blonde so technically blonde are updating.

6.28pm: Jimmy White snookers Keith Hawkins

Steve Lovett opened to 13,000 from middle position and was three-bet by Keith Hawkins to 31,000 from the hi-jack. It folded to Jimmy White in the big blind who moved all-in. Lovett folded, Hawkins asked for a count and it was 26,900 more to call and he did indeed call.

Hawkins: A♣9♠
White: A♦A♥

The board ran out: 8♣4♥7♣8♠7♠ with Hawkins saying, "That's about the worst hand I could have in that spot. -- NW



I'm confused though, Jimmy White isn't on the latest chipcounts ??

There's only 20 players listed - but there were 39 remaining at the time. However, it doesn't say 'selected players' - when I see chips counts from 300k down to 41k I assume that's everyone as well.

The players on the stars chip count page are notables, big stacks etc. Once it gets to the business end of a tournament we do try to cover everyone left in but some players do slip under the radar. When we do mention a player in a post we do try and get them onto the chip count page. On the last break, two hours ago when there were 54 players left, the tournament staff did a full chip count. However it's not as simple as on a blonde update where you can just copy and paste the chip counts into a post, it's pretty fiddily and is just one of a number of things we have to stay on top of as a team of two. Tournament staff are doing a chip count now whilst players are on break and we'll get all the counts during the dinner break. FWIW in Tallinn, where we had a team of four, we were updating the chip counts every hand at the final table, which might be a blogging first (Homer may correct me and say PN did this first)

Some of the other comments, those not to do with Edinburgh, are not for me to answer but I've emailed Stars head of blogging Simon Young (suffolk punch on here).

PN do them when they do hand for hand on a final table so probably only WSOP and WSOPE main event, maybe the WPT Championships. It's generally very difficult with only two people blogging but changing the counts I believe is not a necessity except in the biggest final tables (for historical purposes). Otherwise I consider something like that to be a luxury if you can afford to do it, which Stars can lol!

Personally I understand the need for hand-for-hand coverage in these events, but in otherwise I'm not a huge fan of it as having read the updates for them, it isn't exactly enjoyable to read. You're so focused on writing the next hand that you cannot embellish your coverage properly and make it entertaining for the reader.

Ridiculous day.

Started with 18k, parlayed that upto 150k. Some very very soft spots.

At 1000-2000/300 Geezer opened for 5400. Button flat called, I made it 20k with QQ, raiser passed, flat caller shoved for 125k.

I called.

He had 64s.

He flopped two hearts and a pair and rivered the flush.

I hate poker.

24 left, I count 4 blondes still going
