    Good work Sky in respecting the wishes of the player who asked to remain anonymous.

    Did that Frisbee come back with any chips then?  At least there will be a few more to follow when the droplet kicks in. Good Luck to all our qualifiers over there.

    Yup, he safely navigated his way into Day 2.

    Thanks Paul, I'll pass that on.

    Sky Poker, in fact the whole of SB&G, are, genuinely, obsessed with caring for their customers.

    It was a reasonable request, all things considered, & Sky Poker decided to agree to it. There are several Sky Poker players/qualifiers here who have arrived here in roundabout ways, where rules have been made a little more flexible, or reasonable requests accommodated. It applies equally to Reggie the Recreational, or Percy the Pro.
     
    We have up to 40 playing the Droplet (probably a few less - I'd be amazed if there were no "no-shows"), & in amongst a field of X,000 I'm quite sure we'll not be physically able to report on every one. 

    Nobody has been disadvantaged, we have just not followed the progress of a single player.
     
    I really don't think it's something we need to obsess about.

    Maybe, but see my previous post.

    If he runs deep, The Business has reserved the right to review the decision, & may well allow me to report his progress.
     
    Good luck tonight with your Free Entry, good guess that, just 3 out, wp.

    One last thing before we draw a line under Day 1c.

    TV Dan & I "walked the rooms" (there were three of them) numerous times yesterday, looking for familiar faces, big names, Sky poker players, people who it would be good to mention or interview.
     
    One man we never once saw was Ryan Spittles, aka Scotty77. And then, after play ended, Ryan came into the Media Centre & told us he ended the day with 50,900.
     
    So well done Ryan, & he now plays Day 2C, tomorrow (Wednesday). We'll follow his progress tomorrow, fo sho.

    Ha, glad someone noticed that.

    I was a little disappointed with my performance in that video, but honestly, it was 16 hours into a gruelling day & I was wrecked.
     
    Sometimes "let's get it right" & "that'll have to do" come into conflict.
