Tikay told me an interesting story of how Ross Boatman went right down to about 7000 (although he says he's back around 11k now):

Holding 66 Ross raised with a caller.  The flop came 6 2 K, with one diamond.  Ross bet, the other guy raised, and he just flat called.  The turn brought a second diamond and a check from Ross (hoping to raise) but a check from Guy.  Then the third diamond hit the river and he called the raise to find the runner runner-ed flush.  He is sitting on Rolandinho's right and doesn't look overly fazed by this beat.

They are running satellites for tomorrow in the hallway while the main event is going on, as well as cash games in the Salon Prive.  There is a wonderful rumour that one can receive sandwiches from the red-coated guys whizzing around.  I am going to see if this is true, before heading back out for some more counting.

Totally by the by, some players make the whole chip counting thing more easy than others - Marcel Luske helpfully piled them all up in countable stacks when I came by to see how he was doing, while Frank Callahan did that hide-stack-behind-hands thing.  If any blondeites in future are playing these updateable events, I urge you to help us poor reporters out.

[Gamblor21]

[Jo]

OK, they have restarted.

Jen has spotted Estofnia whatever his bloody name is - the daft magician Guy - & has gone to check his chips. She says he talks a lot. He's American ffs...

[tikay]

Paul  Magriel - quack quack - is`sat just a few feet from here, in the comp, hes "busy", but he's not in good shape. not mny chips either. He's a sort of Mad Pofessor character.

El Blondie - he plays tomorrow - is in the Salon Prive playing the cash game.

Brian Wilson - tomorrow also - is wandering round like a lost soul.  We chatted during th break - he has a weird game plan for tomorrow, but we'd better not go into that right now, but I cant wait to see him implement it. Temperatures, & tempers, will rise for sure.... 

[Djinn]

I didn't know that the mouthy guy in loud red hat was Antonio Esfandiari, but it all falls into place now... he has just this moment GONE OUT falling to Rory Liffey...

Harry Demetriou still the chip leader with 44,350, and when I got to his table just now he was taking a pot off a guy who he said had been slowly whittling his chips down over the past hour.  Not sure how much actual damage anyone can do him at this point, but he told the guy "thanks for letting me win one" as I walked off.

Noah Boeken doing well with, in his own words, "33,000 and change."

Ram Vaswani   18,000
Roland de Wolfe  43,000
Isabelle Mercier (now moved to two from Roland's right)  10,000
Alejandro Acevedo  15,000

[julian]

[AlrightJack]
