OK back from the abyss. 133 tables remaining. I have found out how it's going to end up today - they are playing until level 7 UNLESS there are still over 650 players remaining. In that case they will play on until the correct number have got themselves knocked out one way or another. Then that end time will be set for the next two days - if it's 3am tonight it's 3 friday and saturday too.... They can allow for the possibility of over 650 remaining on the other days because their full capacity is somewhere around the 2200 mark. This will ensure that everyone is at exactly the same point in the same blind level etc. for Day 2 (or 4). Not a bad way of doing it, actually.

Amusing story passed on to me by contact in the PokerStars world... apparently at the press conference meet'n'greet thing there came to light a player who had qualified for the main event through a kind of text message prize draw. The question was "which is the higher card, 10 or J?" He quipped that he'd simply entered twice...
Anyway, the largest tournament he's played in to date is a 100 play-chip sit'n'go, so this should be an experience. He's playing saturday so I shall endeavour to track him down.

Dinner break in a few minutes (actually this time.) No - dinner break now; they're all pouring out. Time to grab some players and ask what's been happening. Saw Simon Hennessey on around 8000 chips who was close enough to the barrier to let me actually see what was happening on his table. The s.b. raised pre-flop and was called in mid-position and by Simon on the button. The flop came    . S.B. bet, two calls. The turn was the unremarkable  . S.b. bet big and the two remaining contenders dwelled impressively before passing (in all probablility a flush draw...) but the attention was taken from his table by the oldest player in the tournament (91) being given a 10 minute penalty for the ol' F-word. He was half-lifted out of the area and told to come back... Found Gutshot qualifier Tiffany Williams who is up to 22000. |

Ironside - Tikay says that he's been trying to send you those pics for 2 hrs... he says not to worry, he'll find a way of compressing them or something (sic) Night night to all you who can't stay up late.

tell tikay to send them one at a time
and tell the old geezer that hand before the 1 hour break is a good time to get a 10 miinute penalty

tell Tikay to change the resolution on the camera, that way they'll be smaller in size

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

Cheers! I have been told that the chip lead still lies with Rafferty - around 75,000. Looks like my Day1 leader estimate is going to be way off. Vicky Coren on around 11,000 (I know this because the elderly gentleman with the penalty was on her right and when he got up I had a briefly unobstructed view of some chipstacks. For once  |

Exciting dinner-break story from Latif who had quite a chunk removed from his stack when he raised with AJs and got one flat caller in the blinds. The flop came A 8 8. Bet and call. Turn a blank, river an 8. Interestingly, a sizeable bet here was only called by the other guy, who went on to reveal AA! Latif said "he could have had all my chips!" Instead he's only down to 18000. Apparently that pot over 20,000.
Julian Gardner out with AA vs KK.
Chip leader still Joe Rafferty with 75,000
Simon Nowab about 10,000
