    we are up to 110 runners with 40 minutes left to play today

    A pretty good turn-out i didn't think it would be this busy, though you never know

    Latest into the fray is this man, a commentator on past UKPCs and all round poker personality..

    Mr Sam Grafton

    I recognised someone at table Brammer, but couldn't place him

    i watched a hand he played anyway

    raised to 5,200

    Gryko made it 10,600

    mystery man shoves...

    Gryko, well spoken and urbane, scraf wrapped around his neck asks for a count

    Looks like its around 100,000 about 40% of Richard's stack. Calls

    Mystery man A-Ko

    Gryko 10-10

    under starters orders, we are off

    Q-9-6 flop

    Ace on the turn for man of mystery

    J river and Gryko takes a hit


    Back to the media centre*

    and  look up mystery man

    Antoine Saout.

    I know that name

    off to give a company who paid an exorbitant £130m to HMRC for its tradng activities over here a bit more revenue to look

    Oh

    3rd in the 2009 main event

    For $3.5m, finished behind Darvin Moon and Joe Cada

    He now has 250,000+ here

    He's delighted too





    * its not a media centre

    Marcel Luske has just unfortunately bust. He looked to be short on around 4K and put all bar a 25 chip over the line.

    He found 1 caller who called off the last 25 on A Q 6 flop. Marcel's JJ outdone by A9.

    As Day1c heads into the evening, more of the regular faces are coming, or, in some cases, going.

    "smoki3" just bust the Main, with a whole series of horrible beats, back to back, so he's heading home to Cwmbran, in South Wales.

    He's in Highway Civil Engineering, which must be a dream job for anyone these days, so we spent a while comparing the relative merits of tarmacadam wearing courses. Fascinating, really.

    Meanwhile, recent arrivals here, presumably playing tomorrow, include Pokey (Chris), Andrew1947 (Andrew, surprisingly), & a man I've not seen in ages, CTBN, aka Colin the Hippo.

    I have a bit of banter with CTBN, but all joking aside, I love him to bits, a real man, who takes life's beats in his stride. So I was saddened to hear he has been really quite unwell, emergency operations & all sorts, & over 8 months "on the club" from work.
     
    He seems to be recovered now, which is a relief, & he looks very well indeed for a man of 72.

    Hi,

    I've made a very last minute decision to play UKPC on Saturday (arriving Fri evening) - will it be possible to buy-in directly via Sky or will I have to do it at the casino?
