After a quick scout around with the camera just before the dinner break Ryan Scott Spittles just busted seat 10 for an 11k pot with 77 v AJ on a Q 9 2 Q  6 board, Ryan leaves for dinner with a smile on his face and a spring in his step.

New power scource found for after the break which is great news as I don't have to ask Tikay to rummage in his manbag for the famous power monkey!

[TightEnd]

We get underway again shortly

Full chip counts are promised imminently

At 6pm Day1b starts, while 1a completes the final three levels of the day. Should be fun for the blogger.

We'll concentrate on action from 1a til it finishes, and pictures of the new players on 1b

1b finishes at 2am. All good stuff. Except for me.

I'm back! But no, he isn't in danger:there's young, and then there's wrong.

I'm thinking of becoming a Puma instead (older men) as I reckon they'll just be grateful for whatever they get. Trouble is, Caroline Puma doesn't work the same with the alliteration. Caroline Codger-basher? Caroline Coffin-dodger doer?
