A tour of the card-room looking for big stacks and big hands

Not too many of either, to be frank

Greek Jack is the third player over 100,000

Of course with this starting stack at this strucutre, there really aren't make or break levels on Day 1 as we saw yesterday

Good luck alex goulder

how Dreenie doing pls

[claypole]

What's going on at table Dreenie - can't see from here and a right commotion - great word commotion

[TightEnd]

Well I have just spent the last ten minutes watching situations evolve on possibly the least savoury tournament table I have seen

I spoke earlier about the tension between Martin Dietrich and dreenie Nutt

This ratched up a notch after a hand in which Matthew Perry had bet 12,000 on the river of 6-7-2-9-2

Dietrich, not in the hand, calls the clock on Nutt.

As a purely independent observer, this felt quick to me, a matter of a few minutes rather than 5-10 minutes

Nutt passes before any of her minute is up, once the clock is called

Perry shows, no throws, Q-J off across the table

Nutt then hands her stack to Dietrich and says "go on, you have them, I have had enough"

Another player, W Jong (Continental European) then tells Nutt

"If you can't stand losing a hand, get out of the competition"

Charming

The TD comes over as voices raise, several conversations taking place simultaneously

Nutt tells the TD that "you have to break this table next or else I am leaving"

She got up, and hasn't been back to the table since

The European players then begin arguing with the TD when he gives them a warning for abusive words
