Vegas Main Event - off we go!

[tikay]

Officially 1066 is the WSOP Main Event number for Day 1A. Up 19% from 897 in 2011.

... but no Brian Hastings?

Too good Sir, too good.

No Dave Nicholson either, I gather he is back home in lovely Leeds now.

Thank you TK. All your writing is smashing again this year. I look forward to reading your musings every morning.

Please keep an eye out for James Browning for me. I don't know what day he is playing but he has promised to play the October nine as his alter ego Rod Hartley including 70s style flared suit. Have you ever met Rod? You could be only bloke on here old enough to have seen him live.

You must be knackered Tony. Keep going though.

Alex

Thank you Alex.

I must confess, I don't think I've heard, met, or know of Rod Hartley.  Did he used to play for West Ham? Sounds like he did. 

I will keep an eye out for James though, we've known each other many a year, & worked on 2 different TV Channels together, too. We are not kindred spirits, but I respect him in many ways, & hope he goes very deep this year.

Young Lynne impesses me too, she has fine game. I believe they BOTH qualified Online for their Main Event packages, each of which included a hotel room. Can't think of many couples who can claim that.

Knackered? Me? In truth, yes, I'm running on fumes here, & there are at least 4 more days without a break, but it's OK, there are far worse ways of spending a working day!

I've loved every moment of the trip in truth, would not change a thing. Except my 8 or Better exit hand maybe.......

Don't suppose Hastings was playing today!?

Edit- beaten to it I've noticed. One in the eye for me!

Hope this is OK to post?

I would imagine so

Nick Crisp!

Very cautious man indeed

that hand is pretty funny, because if you have ever played with him you know he bluffraises turns and rivers a tonne....

I know! What's going on here? King Rollo likes nothing more than a good rise.

Good morning.

Day 1b is about to commence.

If you have any friends playing this today, or want updates, chip counts, or photos, on anyone in particular, let me know, & I'll do what I can.

I have 4 lads playing for next door today, so I'll be a bit busy, but I'm sure I can accommodate most requests.

Just seen that Dave Colclough, the co-founder of blonde, is playing today, too, & I gather that Brian Wilson has a seat, playing tomorrow. Some stories & memories there.....

[Crotale]

From twitter so far I see that Daniel Negreanu, Galen Hall and Victoria Coren are playing today.

If your not too out of breath from yesterdays running around still and are looking for Brits to ambush with a camera, may I request Nick Farnborough at Brasilia 32 seat 1 please?
