First hand back from the break, & LyonsBob goes to war with J-Q, flops his queen but runs into a stubborn fella with A-K, who turns his A, but alas for him our man found another queen.
After spending nearly nine levels fruitlessly searching for JokerPkr, I at last stumble across him mid-hand.
Pre-flop Villain had raised & our man re-shoved 23 bigs with the A-K. Villain says "I think you are raising light" & slides his chips into the middle in a heartbeat with....K-Q.
You know the rest of course, but for added salt in the wound the K-Q never hit either of his cards, but got there the hard way by rivering the straight. Ugh.
We've taken a few shocking beats today, one way & another. What a game this poker is.
I can't guarantee this is everyone, but I think it is. (I've not got the count for Like2BiteU, but last time I saw him, not long back, he had 70,000 off his second bullet).
These counts though are accurate as at close of play;
InswinHere = 28,000
Dog Bloke = 42,900
CxE1 = 33,000
NickD = 88,000
LyonsBob = 34,200
gonedoggin = 12,200
When they return tomorrow (later today...) blinds will be 800-1,600/200.
Play resumes at 2pm Local, which is 7pm UK, which is the very moment that UKOPS XVII kicks off, so quite a day in prospect.
In Response to Re: Punta Cana Classic Live Update : Is the CORRECT answer. And it's jolly chilly in the cardroom (aircon) just as it is in Vegas cardrooms so they'll be handy enough. There are (or were...) 25 Sky Poker hoodies inside. Weighed a tidy bit, too, that's £30 of excess baggage right there. Sam said he would reimburse me though, so that's OK. Posted by Tikay10
£30 of excess baggage for £30 worth of merchandise hardly seems worth it.

Has the tide turned?
10 minutes of Level 8 remain, with Blinds currently 400-800-100.
Here's a better set of chip counts after 2 or 3 brutal levels for our crew.
NickD449 = 28,000
CxE1 = 13,000
LyonsBob = 48,000
Dog Bloke = 40,000 (oioi)
gonedoggin = 30,000
InswinHere = 19,000
Last Break of the Day
15 minute break now, then they come back for 2 more levels, & that'll be that for Day 1B. Play should end just before 2am I reckon.
A few chip counts from the guys as they wander past our little office en route to the Restrooms or whatever;
NickD449 = 34,000
LyonsBob = 54,000
Dog Bloke = 30,000
And play has resumed, with the Blinds now escalated to 500-1,000/100.
Bob's yer uncle

Another Britney Moment
Oops, I did it again

So that's another man overboard.
great thread, tikay.
thank you.
It occurs to me that you have just got up, & I've not been to bed yet. Weird, this time difference lark.
Level 10 - the day's final level - commences.
Blinds now go 600 - 1,200/200.
Can't be hanging around, but if players can bring 20 Bigs back for Day Two, it's worth hanging in.
NickD449 = 50,000
Dog Bloke = 50,000
CxE1 = 12,000
LyonsBob = 40,000
Like2BiteU (on 2nd bullet) = 70,000.
King Bok strikes again
I managed, at long last, to find gaben, at the very moment he....BUST.
30 minutes of Day 1B remain
NickD449 = 90,000
Dog Bloke = 65,000
CxE1 = 22,000
LyonsBob = 38,000
InsWinHere = 26,000
LyonsBob = 17,000
CxE1 -= 30,000
NickD449 - 76,000
Dog Bloke = 58,000
Day 1B Play has concluded
If I can get one last round of Chip Counts as the guys depart for a well-earned night's sleep, I'll post them up.

A big well done to every one of our players today, they conducted themselves in an exemplary manner, & everyone back home can be proud of them.
To those that survived, sleep well guys, tomorrow might just be a big big day, & we'll all be rooting for you.
Thanks for the comments & questions, a Live Update simply does not work without them.
And on that note, I wish you all a very good night.
We now hand you over to the Shipping Forecast.
