Nail biting stuff indeed. Will there be a break when it gets to FT? Posted by IrishRose
Hi Rose,
Yes, there will be a break, probably 45 to 60 minutes before they resume.
They all have to move across to the feature table, which is a posh, Sunday best affair, the chips have to be counted, checked & coloured up, & I expect there'll be a group photo & maybe some announcements, "and in seat 6, bda de da" sort of thing. They may have some pre-Final dinner, too.
Oddly, most players (& us...) would prefer to just get on with it, get the job done, & go home.

I need them to have a break lol - getting RSI from clicking refresh for new news. Kids and hubby would like to be fed at some point - so if break I should be able to manage it.
Just don't go letting either Elderly Maniac or Folically Challenged Mohican exit the tables just to let my kids get fed
EM just told me he has never had a poker day like this in his life, so many swings & swongs, he had to go outside & get some fresh air just now to clear his head.
The adrenalin is taking over, too - unsurprisingly - & he's sort of hyper.

You have kids? Good grief, did not think you were old enough.
Good Luck Mohican and Andrew1947, have been reading with interest but have just noticed only as a silent reader/lurker,Sorry. Also, great updates tikay and tighty and just watched your u tube update tikay from todays start, i appreciate all your efforts. Cheers !(Raising glass of chilled white wine to screen!)
Would it be possible to have a word with the players and suits at DTD and get this final table break scrapped? Otherwise we are gonna be cutting it fine for my 9.49 deadline.
I'm sure it shouldnt be a problem haha
On a serious note, best of luck to Andrew and Mohican. Great result whatever happens from here on in!

EM has played himself back up to nearly 4 milly, with the average now just under 5 milly.
Couple of shorties around, too.

Mohican is wearing the biggest wristwatch you ever saw, it's like a Grandfather clock on a strap.
He qualified for £16, & it's already his biggest win ever.
He told me "this is why recreational players play poker, for days like this". Too right.
