It's a teeny bit late starting but they're off on the third day, with only 8 players left until they're all in the money, all 560 of them. We are wishing the UK and Irish players the best of luck, as well as the many pleasant Americans we have encountered. I will be rushing between this and the $1500 no-limit freezeout which Tikay and Bad Girl as well as some others to be discovered are playing so please bear with me.

The tourney has been going hand for hand (imagine it - 568 players, hand for hand) in this fashion - when a hand is completed on a table, the dealer stands up. When all dealers are standing, they sit down again and deal another hand. Someone suggested that the other way round might be easier to spot, but they seem to be doing OK. While this is happening, no press (apart from ESPN, who are some kind of meta-press) are allowed in there so it's still a mystery.

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.  |

Sorry, still being chased out of the Main Event area. Someone told me to "Get behind the stanchion." When's the last time someone said that exact phrase to you?

I know, I am a pain, but if poss can you post any news on Chris Hamlyn Atlanta, GA again.
He sent this to me earlier :
Finished the day with $49K. I was so short-stacked to the end that I had to go all-in from the big blind versus a raise and a call right in front of me. The blinds were $800-$1600 (w/ $200 antes) and I only had about $13,000 left after the blind. Bo Schlestedt called and turned over pocket 6's, which had my pocket 4's doomed until a 4 came on the flop. No 6 came and I was able to triple up after raking in the call and the blinds and antes. The board said 569 players remaining, with 560 getting paid. So 9 more till the money.
I promise I'll wear the yellow away strip tomorrow.

Thanks johnson, he'll be easier to spot when I get in there...
They are getting close to the money now with just 3 left to go. Blinds $1000-$2000 ante $300. The standupsitdown dealer thing means that each hand is taking about 15 minutes, and the players are all being hassled by the cameras not to do anything before it's all set up for filming. "Don't touch your chips!" they admonish. Crikey.

Catching a few players as they sneak out for a cigarette - Andy Black now up to a very healthy 210,000. Quote about the bubble period, "I love it." Told me off for agreeing with him, as there are players listening all over the place, apparently.
