He is still around though.

I spotted him playing cash in the big PLO game at The Vic the last time I was in town and still looks a young as ever, so much so that Neil Giblin enquired "who's the kid in seat six"?

It is noticeably noisier in the main room now. Players are more relaxed and those who have satted in for tuppence will have their feet firmly under the table.

Walking around, I'm struck by how few sets of headphones there are around. It's refreshing to see people talking to each other, laughing and joking and generally loving the game.

As a spectator, that really makes a difference.

Tal is doing wonderfully, he volunteered to come today and spend his weekend helping out, thanks very much it is very appreciated.


It's VERY hard to do much by way of reports & chip counts at the mo, the club is rammed, we can barely move between tables, & we have 5 laptops perched on a coffee table sharing 2 power points. Apologies, that's just how it is.
 
When it gets deep into Day 2, it'll be easy, of course. For now, it's a challenge.

roll on eight tables, into the money and covering a lot of hands.

bear with us for now (p.s this is always the slowest day for exits too, the qualifiers aren't putting it in light so the bust out rate is v low)

Doobs spoke to me in the break

he has 200,000

and survived a 3 way all in to get there

he called a raise with 4-4 in teh blinds

multi-way to the flop it came 8-5-4 two of the same suit

he checked

the raiser led

a caller shoved for 15,000

doobs called that

now the raiser goes all in

doobs calls and is up against 8-7 for top pair + gutshot straight draw from the first shover and two overs with the flush draw from the second shover so having to fade 12 cards twice

which he did to treble up

Verndog, just make sure you pronounce that correctly. We don't want to cause inadvertent offence. Thank you.
