I am playing the $1,500 PLO8//O8//Big O mix, and doubled up after 5 minutes, so may actually have been chip leader briefly. As in, very briefly...... Posted by Tikay10

Could use a table move. Got Allen Kessler to my immediate right, and to his immediate right is Mike Leah. At least I have position, but they are a proper handful.
Don't think you'll get much interaction on here for a few hours. It's just gone 4am and I'm told we are looking at temperatures about 30 degrees today in the U.K.
We just had the last break of the day, and two more levels of play remain in day one. I have 16,500, which is just above average. 332 of the original 688 players remain. Posted by Tikay10
that's great. you need only to be "just above average" throughout.

I find it difficult to believe that you even played a hand in the first 5 minutes, surely you had nut, nut to be that adventurous or is the heat outside getting to you?

Good effort Tikay,
I know you've said your rehab has gone well, but 10 hours plus in the poker saddle is a fair bit. I guess it depends a lot on how "fun" the tables are, but how has it gone?
Event 23 - $2620 The Marathon (100 minute levels), Day 5 of 5, 1759 entries The Venezuelan flag was much in evidence as Joseph Di Rosa Rojas claimed the first ever bracelet for the South American country.
Rojas also collected over $620K as he entered heads-up play against Alexander Lynskey with about a 5:1 chip lead and not much changed until the very end when Rojas' pocket tens had some help with a paired board to finish off Lynskey.
Third was Jeffrey Tomlinson, Faraz Jaka ended in 6th and Maurice Hawkins, long time leader, was the first player knocked-out from the FT.
Last Brit was Pratik Ghatge, who came in 8th with a very nice $70K for his five days work.
Event 27 - $3K NLH 6-Max, Day 3 of 3, 959 entrants Bang up to date news - a couple of minutes ago we had the final hand and it is a BritishBraceletAlert!
A marathon heads up duel between Chris Moorman and Bernando Dias after the rest of the final table was finished pretty quickly, with the Brit getting the better of it after his AK dominated Dias' K10 and the better hand held.
Moorman takes close to half a million dollars, Dias $308K
Max Silver was the first player to leave the final table, his 6th place earning him $73K
Event 28 - $1500 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball (Limit), Day 3 of 3, 326 entrants Done and dusted with Brian Brubaker coming out on top after a swingy two-hour long heads up battle with Brendan Taylor.
German football star Max Kruse and his very vocal (British-like?) rail ended the day in 4th spot
Event 29 - $2500 NLH, Day 2 of 3, 1086 entrants Just 30 players move on to Day 3 with just one player having a million chip in his bag - Eddy Sabat.
Asi Moshe and Tom Thomas are second and third. The British presence is still strong, Scott Margereson and Chi Zhang inside he top 10, plus Sadan Turker and Raul Martinez Requena further down.
Event 30 - $10K HORSE Championship, Day 2 of 3, 150 entrants Still in play with exactly 10% of the field left.
Stephen Chidwick has recently been knocked out for the min cash of $15K, but of those left, there are several well-known names including current chip leader Daniel Negreanu and reigning champion Jason Mercier
Event 31 - $1K Seniors NLH, Day 1 of 3, 5389 entries A single re-entry in the first 6 levels has enabled the Seniors field to beat last year's total quite easily.
Reigning champion Johnnie Craig bagged chips, as did former ME winner Greg Raymer and last year's November Niner Cliff Josephy, but is Kevin Dowling who holds the Day 1 chip lead.
You have to look a long way down the list of 690 or so survivors to find a player tagged with "GB" and we find David Rawnsley in 131st place. After him Martin Wilson, Anthony Marks, Ronald Lawton, Shukri Mushawar, Kenneth Broad, Barny Boatman, David Wood, Guy Bowles, and Gary Fisher all bagged stacks of descending size at the end of the night.
Event 32 - $1500 Mixed PLO 8, Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better & Big O, Day 1 of 3 Tikay has been keeping you up to date with his tournament, they're very close to the end of play (maybe it has just finished) and a full picture will become clear soon.
Three big stacks do seem have emerged - Igor Sharaskin, Daniel Zack and Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler (the latter from Tikay's table)
Event 19 - $365 The GIANT, Day 1B Still in play, with just a few hands left. 140 or so players left, full update to follow when reports become available.
