Sonopy   did you just post a bad beat and delete it???

wrong thread.

soz

No it's fine

I thought I was going completely mental for a minute there.

lol

I managed to put it in an update thread at least. Just the wrong one. 

Loooooooooong day.

Are some of them pickled eggs?

Jen, I'll give you a fiver to eat a pickled egg

Not sure what kind of condiments lurk in those jars... I am getting a bit peckish though so I might go and see what I can scavenge.  Ben's already been on his dinner break. 

But before I go snack hunting, it's Chip Count Moment:

Trevor Reardon     13,000
Nick Whiten          14,000
Steve Bovis           OUT
Richard Gryko        14,000

I want photo evidence for that fiver, y'hear?

[Royal Flush]

Good luck Chunkymick. 

Good luck Snoopy. 


P.S. Say hi to Arthur for me!

I'm at home Flushy.

Arthur says hello. 

I know i was just wishing you luck....good luck.

And I'd just managed to get a new clutch of photos, like this one of Steve Bovis - but the comp has geared up into Elimination Mode and my pic subjects are dropping thick and fast.  Going to resize faster than I've ever resized before...

Pippa Flanders (early bully of tikay) is wearing a delightful purply silk dress which, not terribly fashion conscious though I may be, I think is really nice.  She's been steadily increasing her stack right from the start, and looks as relaxed as can be.

Hi Jen and Ben, any chance of a chip estimate for my old mate Colin Kennedy.

He's a scholarly looking gentleman with white hair and a short white beard.

He's also a bit of a legend and please pass on my best wishes if you manage to locate him.

[Djinn]

It's battle of the headphones between early chip leader Pascal Perrault and Norseman Anders Berg.. and I think Anders wins.  His look like the sort you see people power walking with.

Little break there for me to eat a pickled egg sandwich (you're just going to have to believe me dana as I have no evidence but will be collecting that fiver).

We are sat right next to the restaurant in the upstairs part of the Vic, with a live jazz band doing their thing nonstop.  It's quite relaxing, actually.  I wish I could record and attach little mp3s of it so you could get the multisensory Vic experience.

[Sunday8pm]

Some chip counts from downstairs...

Burnley John - 10k
Camel - 26k
Anthony Hardy - 11k
Robert Varkonyi - 12k
Jon Shoreman - 13k
Ram Vaswani - 13k
Victoria Coren - 8.5k
Colchester Kev - 22, but they are going down quite quickly, i think he's hungry!

[Djinn]

7,500 for Paul Garnham, currently.

That crazy beard guy who was at the Bodrum Cafe just sent me an MP3 of him playing a guitar banjo in the style of Django Reinhardt. It's quite good. I've downloaded it to your computer for your listening pleasure

[Djinn]

Oh, stop the press.  Americans are here.  Tipped off by hot reporting talent Eliza Burnett, we spotted Mike Matusow, Kristy Gazes and Clonie Gowan hanging around the Vic, presumably soaking up some local colour before going to the Poker Open tomorrow.  Everyone and his Full Tilt sponsored uncle seems to be in that... (Go on Mr. Cool!!)

[Sunday8pm]

Just spotted Mike Matusow in the toilets, im sure it isn't the first time i've heard him say "OH MY GOD. I cant believe you get such good flop's"...

[Djinn]

With just a couple of tables remaining downstairs, here's the last of the Alternate card area snaps - of a smiling Burnley who literally seconds earlier was sticking his tongue out in a very cheeky way.  Curse my slow flash!
