Best of luck Ian.
Rob just messaged me and told me to tell you that if you do win this, your amateur status will be removed, and you will no longer be allowed in the Friday night game.

Pretty hilarious update from just before conclusion for the day:
16:33 Gascoigne aired out
(thanks to Full Tilt blog)
Marc MacDonnell opened to 4,000, Ian Gascoigne called in the big blind. The two took a flop.
Gascoigne check-called a 4,000 continuation bet. The turn was an interesting one, the
.
Check-check.
On the
river Gascoigne checked a final time and MacDonnell chose to showdown his
for queen high.
All his opponent could muster was
, not interested in bluffing river the easy way, but rather the fun, check-raise way.
“He check-raised me like six times yesterday, I couldn’t handle it again!” MacDonnell told his tablemates with a laugh
Doesn't sound like you, dad?
Final Table
Steve O`Dwyer United States 528,500
Max Silver United Kingdom 253,800
Marc MacDonnell Ireland 184,100
Thomas Hall United Kingdom 177,600
Ian Gascoigne United Kingdom 83,000
Peter Murphy Ireland 42,000
Trevor Dinneen Ireland 35,100
Gogogogo Father Gascoigne!!

Awoke at 6 this morning by the dustbin men outside the hotel.Pretty standard. Couldn't get back to sleep so lay dozing listening to music through the headphones. Remarkable how relaxing that can be,half awake,half asleep....hearing lyrics you had missed and the music bringing back memories of times,places and people. Kind of pleased I was woken up in a peculiar kind of way.
Read the papers ( clever thing the IPad) and checked the work stuff. It's pretty quiet. We are becoming more continental and corporate Britain starts to close down in August.Not to the extent of France but slowly moving that way.
Booked my return flight to Bham airport from Shannon ( clever thing IPad) and popped down to reception to let them know yes I want another night. ' No problem Mr.Partridge'.
Sat in the anonymous ring road hotel makes me realise one of the perils of booking on Expedia and not doing a little more research in advance. I am sure there are some fascinating places to stay around Galway near the town centre or by the coast.This place is as dull as could be although the staff are pleasant as are most of the locals.
Last week I was having breakfast and an enormous bloke asked if he could join me. He had the narled face of a sergeant in the New York Police but he was struggling to walk due to his weight and seemed a little breathless. I just knew he had some stories so we struck up conversation. You see places aren't about the places at all.They are all about the people. He was over for the Race Week. Had been coming over from Chicago for over 40 years having left Ireland as a 20 year old. He loved Chigaco where he 'was big in cement'. Galway races gave him chance to catch up with family and in particularly some of his 14 grandchildren. Imagine having 14 Granchildren. Having two children is responsibility,pleasure and anguish enough but 14. I cannot imagine how that must feel. I hope his health improves.He was a bear of a man with a kind countenance.
I know a lot of Blonde readers also use Facebook. Following my recent trip to New York I started to follow a brilliant link called ' Humans of New York'. He is a street photographer and each day he posts a couple of photographs of 'normal people' who look interesting.He also asks them a few simple questions to get an insight into 'their story'. It's a truly brilliant site and I cannot recommend it enough.Simple,poignant,interesting. Really like the guys work. If you like social history,photography and people its fascinating.
Talking of people the hotel is a 10 minute drive into town and I have been conducting 10 minute interviews with the Taxi drivers. They love to chat and find out how's 'the poker going' and you can tell their fascination for the game and a bit of a 'gamble'. One of the drivers was sad to be back in Galway. He was about 60 and had lived in Kilburn for most of his life.He loved London but found Galway too small and claustrophobic. 'What did you do in London' I asked. I helped build the Channel Tunnel he replied. That and a bit of boxing. He was a heavyweight and fought in a big fight at Carrow Road in Norwich in front of over 10,000 people. I don't like fighting.I had a few when I was younger and never enjoyed the experience.It made me wonder what it was like fighting in front of 10,000 people. Again he had a wonderful kind face. He showed me where he had had 25 stiches in his eye lid. He gave me a mini tour of the town and didn't charge any more.He made me laugh when he pointed to the big imposing church and said ' it's on those steps where the English use to hang us fuckers, shame you didn't hang the fucking lot of us'. I think he felt more London than Irish.
Well I am off to the beach now for a stroll and some excercise. Worst thing about this poker malarkey is the potential for it to destroy your health through sleep patterns,eating patterns,access to decent food and day light.Never mind the friggin stress and emotional ups and downs. Throw in a few pints of Guinness and you are not going to make 90 lol.
I wish I had a few more chips for this afternoon. Just to allow breathing space. I think I may have enough for one 'mistake' and know I have to be very careful. A double up would be brilliant or even a big hand when one of the short stacks pushes on my blind I suppose. There are some humongous stacks on the table so it's going to be a challenge. I think the two short stacks are going to sit tight and hope to ladder a few places which makes me think I should sit tight for a round and then just go mental . I mean,you are never that far behind in a hand are you?
What could possibly go wrong?
Have fun,be kind and most of all don't forget......it's only a game. Life that is,not Poker.
