    Morning all.

    Just a quick preview of what's in store today on this thread.

    Yesterday was a bit of a challenge, for the reasons I explained, but, fingers crossed, today will be a tad easier, as we have less players to try & find, & only just over 1,000 players remaining, compared to 4,555 yesterday.

    Play will commence at 2pm Vegas, which is 10pm UK, & they will play 10 x 1 hour levels, which, allowing for breaks, will take exactly 12 hours, so play will continue until 2am Vegas (10 am UK).
     
    Blinds will be 500-1,100/100 when they resume. A full Structure Sheet is HERE

    If you have any questions, fire away please. 

    Meanwhile, it's nearly 10am here, & so well be dedicating the morning to recording the Daily Videos - Neil Channing's Diary, The Daily WSOP Update, The Daily Moan, &, fingers crossed, we might just catch John Gale today. 

    A collection of all the Viva Las Vegas released to date can be found

    Slight correction to Tikay's post above, blinds with be 500/1000 with the 100 ante, not 500/1100

    Just to say I am enjoying the updates. Not so interactive when I read it all back over breakfast, but it is appreciated. GL those remaining.

    Good luck to all the Sky Poker guys in day2. Really enjoying all the updates, dreaming of the day when I can say I was there.
    The video updates are great fun to watch and I presume to record...... Love the flat cap Tikay.
    It looks as though forgetting his player ID did not phase Jac at all, just give him a nudge to remind him before he gets on the bus today.

    Day 2 play has commenced.

    I have 11 names & chip counts (fingers crossed not missed any of them) & I'll do my first patrol in about half an hour.

    Meanwhile, here is a video we shot at the Welcome Party.

    It was a little difficult to film, as you will see, but you'll get the flavour.

    It turns out i am still in lol

    Very 1st hand i look down at AA i raise it up to 3.25bbs utg and get 4 callers.

    Flop is AKT. I cbet and get looked up by 2 guys.

    Turn is a J and i check, a guy tanks before qnnouncing hes all in. The other guy makes a speech about always losing with this hand before announcing call. When it comes to me im gettting about 5:1 with my house draw so i make a smooth call.

    A beautiful ace smashes the river and i announce all in with my remaining 18k. He snaps and tables the big slick. I jump and woop as i turn my winning house over, scoop the pot, and start counting out my 135k stack

    Hang on - you've got two aces, there's one on the flop, one on the river and one in your opponents hand. Five aces in the deck?

    Some chip counts incoming. They exclude simmy for now, as I'm a bit confused.......

    James Jeffrey, who should be familiar to you all, had 16,000 overnight, but now has 50,000.
    Don't tell anyone, right?

    I asked him "how?", & he just said, rather coyly, "well I was splashing around a bit......".

    Interestingly, he has been moved to the same table as Lee Rogers, who has zoomed from 19,500 overnight to north of 40,000. He got a full 2xUp with, remarkably, his Q-Q v, err, A-7.
