Hi All,

I thought I would start a fresh thread for our qualifiers who are playing in the main event. We have 5 players here in total vying for the title of world champion. 

Daren Moreton who played day 1B and will be back for his day 2 with 40,075 chips.

Our other 4 go today:

Brett Gritton
Matt Bates
Nico Lategano
Martin Brinkmann

Updates will be posted regularly throughout the day and night.

    That's it, play has commenced.
     
    We have filmed the "shuffle up & deal" thing, we filmed in Pavilion, Brasilia, & Amazon, & the Poker Kitchen (yes, players are even playing in the kitchen). 

    Now we have to film the Day 41 (yesterday) Update & Neil's Daily Poker Diary, then that's it, we'll be following & updating our 4 players all day.

    Ryan Spittles won a seat in a satellite yesterday, so we'll try & follow him, too.   

    If there are any other names you'd like us to follow, don't be shy, just ask, but if you could give us a table number, it would help.

    Please excuse my photography skills. Here you can just about make out Jack Effel setting the scene before 2014 world champion Martin Jacobson got us up and running for day 1C.

    P.S If you cash Mr Bates i would cnsider it an immense honour if you could find the time to participate in the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack.

    Spare a thought for the poor guys on table 55. When they sat down to kick off their day in the main event they found both Elky and Daniel Negreanu looking back at them. Good luck guys.

    A couple of star studded tables for our guys:

    Matt Bates is sat at the same table as online crusher Calvin Anderson. Matt has lost a few thousand in an early pot where his 2 pair was trumped by a flopped set.

    Martin is being kept company by 2013 champion Ryan Reiss. It obviously has not fazed him as he has raced to 40k within the first hour.

    To set the scene the WSOP main event has just about the best structure of any tournament (as you may expect) Players start with 300 big blinds and a 2 hour clock!

    I was wandering around the Tan section of the Amazon room checking on the progress of Mr Spittles when an elderly gentleman stood from his seat of table 358 and asked me if the guy next to him was famous.

    I looked down and nodded.

    Yes sir that's Phil Ivey.

    I'm sure they will all end up being revealed in time but I think someone else asked the same thing with the qualifiers for the $1,111 tournament and there was some legal reason for the official no-disclosure.
