And just prior to that, Marco lost about 10,000, when he check-Raised on the end, only to find his Oppo had Rivered Trips.
He sees it as the perfect wake-up call, a slap round the chops, & he's determined to focus now, & move on from that minor setback. He said the geezer played it beautifully, & he acknowledged that there are some seriously good players here.
The Dinner-Break will do him a power of good, & he'll return all the better for it.
Unquestionably the best thing about this thread so far (without taking away Freelancer's reasonable start and hopefully good run) is the fact that Haysie is still out there! This Vegas Lite Deal sounds like the best gig ever? I'm sure I could get enough value from the food and drink to make this a (+ev trip) regardless of the poker next year. That ''+ ev'' bit was for all the 18-25 year old internet kids etc etc. Not only is Haysie still out there but the eagle eyed amongst us will have seen him registering for his standard 50 DYM a couple of hours ago. Of all British citizens nudging The Rest Haven door open, Tikay and Haysie must be living a life few others can match! All the best fellas

I just spoke to Tony aka haysie and he's gone from playing a few of his fav DYM's on Sky to playing a $120 NL Deepstack event at Caesars Palace, in which he's in pretty good shape
The full review of Day 1D is now up on site which you can find here
It was a really up and down day for Marco but it's a credit to him that he will still be there in Day 2B, most people would have done their stack in his positions....
he ran AQ into AA on an AQJ board, he ran trips 2's into 7's full of 2's, he ran QQ when he was short stacked into KK on a 10 high board.... etc etc
Not his day, but we are all proud of him and wish him all the best on Wednesday
I think it is a great effort to last to day 2 with the hands descibed, i agree that most people would have done their stack Think he must have some good reads on the players at his table. Keep it going Marco carry on as you are.. Gary
Best of luck to our man Marco this evening. He's coming back pretty short, but not massively different to Eric Cloutier who went from having 15,000 chips at the end of day 1 to finishing day 2a second in chips overall, so anything's possible.
C'mon Marco, get it done!!!
To get to know the man, here is a nice interview he did with Father Hen at the end of day 1d.

20 minutes to go to the Dinner-Break, so they have nearly finished Level 3, & they are due to play 5 Levels today.
Marco has a tidy Railing Crew - Dan and his mates, Ben, Haysie, Mel, etc. Lovely to see how these guys are supporting each other.
39,000
Going along nicely, I'd say.
Great start marco good luck and lets hope you can get paid off with aces v ace queen next time.
Dinner-Break.

They just announced the final total of Runners. But I did not hear it properly.
I did hear that they are paying 648 places.
And that 1st prize will be.............
$8,500,000

Top Post Mr Gimmicks!

Not a bad life hey?
:-)
1 hour into Level 4.
25,900.
He's "busy", & he's having ball.
End of Level 4, the penultimate Level of Day 1d.
He had a bit of a car crash, ran trips into a House, & was down to 11,000.
He's gone aggro-now, and is up to.....
14,000
An hour into the final Level of the day, he's on about 15,000.
The behatted Railing Crew of Ben & Anthony are sweating him from the Rail. Team Spirit Rules.
If he came back on Day Two with 15,000, that'd be plenty - it'd be about 25 x BB.
15,000
Half an hour from end of Play on Day 1c, & Marco is on the attack, & motoring along a treat.
His Railing Crew of Ben & Anthony has been supplemented by Adam, & Marco, cool as a cool thing, is having a Massage at the Table.
22,000.
GREAT comeback, this.
Day2b, or not to be?
The 22,000 became 5,000, then he found....ACES! - & Doubled up.
It's a "dynamic stack".
11,500
The story of a topsy-turvy Day will be on Adam's Blog, very shortly.
So, that's two Players through to Day Two - Will on 2a, & Marco on 2b.
Wonderfiul!
The Day 2a Will Brewin Timeline will commence at Noon Vegas, 8pm UK. Please sweat our Boys, they are doing us right proud.
Night all.
