These updates are great by the way.

Well done guys.

Thanks Snoops!  You would, I have no doubt, be able to squeeze more juicy information from this rather more reserved crowd than yesterday... but Ben is doing a superb job and my hands must not be shaking as much as they usually do as I've only had to take pictures once per person.

Here's a pic of Trevor Reardon, who isn't quite as short stacked as he looks here, but isn't far off.  No giant chip leader emerging yet either to rival Mr. Cool.

Play has restarted at what I seem to remember is the last level of the day: 500 - 1,000 with a 50 ante.

This is where the 60-or-so people left get really busy whittling themselves down - my guess is today ends with around 40 players still remaining just like yesterday.  I make this prediction having heard that in the field of meteorology, the weather has something like a 75% chance of just being the same as it was yesterday.

Well, I've been to London to play a comp that began at 8pm, played the comp, booked outa my hotel, got a train home, been to Tescos & done my shopping, & read the Updates, & it's only 0200 - do I feel daft, or what?

But terrific Updates. Humour, information, cracking pics, and after my 2nd night in a row at home reading a blonde Live Update, I'm beginning to realise the attraction of them.

With the chance to just aboit catch the last train home, & have my first Saturday at home for months, with the bonus of a day of getting caught up with stuff, I dashed out of The Vic & rather rudely failed to say goodnight - or even hello - to so many friends. Sorry! I feel rather bad about dashing out so quickly, but what's done is done. And I do have mountains of stuff to sort at home, withn the Site Re-Launch.

But before I do, a special Message from Willie Tann follows.....

[MoodyRiver]

update on Anthony "ROCKFISH" Mackay please

[tikay]

Willie Tann rung me at Midnight last night, & again at 10pm tonight, to ask me to pass on his thanks to the blonde Updaters for their terrific work. So say all of us. Willie's not so hot at Posting, but he's a avid reader of blonde Live Updates, rarely one goes by without him ringing me up to say "well done blonde". Bless him. He also rings me regularly to comment on 425 - "the wife says nice tie, tikay". Eyesight problems I guess.

You may wonder why Willie is not playing this week. Willie's rather enchanting & strikingly beaitiful wife is unwell, & in hossie, which is really sad. But Willie tells me she hopes to be home in a few days. From all at blonde, we wish her a speedy recovery, & look forward to seeing Wlilie back amongst us.

update on Anthony "ROCKFISH" Mackay please

37,000 and still going strong.

Cheers Jen. Take a snap before he crashes. You'll have to be quick

Paul M3Boy Garnham is OUT -

He made his all-in stand on the button with pocket Fours (fair enough) but behind him lurked Jon Shoreman with 60k+ in chips and  !  Although Paul picked up a hope-inducing flush draw on the turn, no flush appeared and he was walking.  "I knew Jon would call with whatever he had - he just had Aces."

[Jamier-Host]

Did you manage to find Lee Atherton on your rounds?

[NoflopsHomer]

 

Just got in from playing a £30 DC FO private tourney. Somehow managed to win despite being 10:1 down in chips when HU.

Great work Jen and Ben (The flowerpot...), I've finally up to date with the updates.

Ben - is this more fun than playing those nasty Crypto $3k guarantees?

[Sunday8pm]
