One hour in, not much happening on Dave's table, he has 48,000.
Dave is a Leeds lad, & when he is not degenning, he runs Fish & Chip shops. Think he buys them cheap, ones that need a bit of revving up, freshens them up, then sells them on.
He currently runs one in Leeds for someone else, I gather.
He used to play silly stakes - MONSTER stakes - PLO cash games, but don't think he has been playing much lately.
In Response to Re: WSOP Main Event - Day 1a Live Update - off we go. : *CAPTION COMP* Tikay and Dave congratulate a thrilled Neil on his first place finish in the "Dress like the casino floor" competition. Posted by nickkay
That's incredible, I never "got it" at first, but Neil's shirt almost exactly matches the carpet.

First thing I spotted, thought it was a casino T-shirt at first :P
Is there only one Sky Poker qualifier playing today? Posted by MAXALLY
Yup, just Lil Dave, nobody else.
The others are playing Day 1B, tomorrow (Sunday) as far as I know. I missed the first "Welcome Party" thing as I was otherwise engaged, which is why I'm a bit unsure of who is playing what & when.
I gather most of our Little One Drop qualifiers - around 40 of them - will be playing Day 1C, which is next Thursday, so we'll be a bit busy that day.
In Response to Re: WSOP Main Event - Day 1a Live Update - off we go. : And also on the table are double bracelet holder Greg Mueller and the winner of the "Nordic Masters of Poker" Mats Karlsson. Posted by FCHD
The WSOP Updates have Greg Mueller on 86,300, & Matthew Ashton on 77,000, so there must have been some early car crashes on that table.
Here's Dave, 5 minutes ago, alongside Mr Ambo & some old duffer. Caption Competition Lets get some fun going - Best caption wins a £110 Sky Poker Summer Series Main Event seat NEXT WEEKEND. Posted by Tikay10
Dave "Why does he get a REAL sky poker shirt and we get badges, I'm Tikayed off!!"

I'll make a special effort tomorrow, just for you, Mr Millwall, I'll wear my very best Vegas outfit.
You may prefer today's apparel when you have seen it.
Heard your doing very well over there Tikay. News filters back to the ploppers pretty quick! Best of luck and enjoy yourself! Ger Posted by gerardirl
Thanks Ger, yes, it went rather well, & far better than I dared hope, especially in the WSOP events I played. Just love playing WSOP events, & the PLO, Big O & PLO8 "Live" games generally in Vegas. Yesterday & the day before were as much fun as it gets.
Soon I'll be back home, & I'll enjoy the PLO8 DYM games just as much though.
In Response to Re: WSOP Main Event - Day 1a Live Update - off we go. : Should have mentioned - we do in today's Video Update, which will be available shortly - that the starting level is 75-150. Pretty sure it was 50-100 last year, or am I wrong? Posted by Tikay10
Still means the starting stacks are 333 BB's this year as opposed to 300 last year?

At the first break, after the TWO HOUR first level, Dave has 45,000.
Wonder how long it takes to do his hair every morning?

Are the games still ticking along nicely?
Sky poker team event preparations in tatters as only 3 turn up for the pre-tourney 'huddle'.
Dave just lost a few thousand chips in an interesting spot on a flop & turn of 5-5-6-4 cc.
No idea what villain had, but it got big on the turn & after Dave bet, the villain moved all in.
Dave dwelled for a very long time before yielding.
