    Tedson - 37,200. (90 Bigs excluding antes).

    He had a bit of an accident when he chose a bad time to bluff, but otherwise he's going along just fine.

    GSmith13 - 66,000

    Just lost a big pot, but still in cruise mode with 66,000.

    Boggo - 94,000

    Boggo has avoided CAT (Clear Air Turbulence) & is going along on auto-pilot.

    If you missed that extraordinary hand involving the ever popular Vanessa Selbst earlier, here it is.

    Enjoy.

    And if you thought that Vanesa Selbst hand was exciting, wait until you see - & hear -  this.

    It's a Cathay Pacific Boeing 777 during pushback & take off at Dusseldorf. Obv.

    Level 4, the penultimate level of the day, has just ended.

    Fingers crossed, but the boys generally pop into the Media centre at the break with chip counts.
     
    Be right back.

    Tedson & Jigga never came to the Media Centre during break, so I'll need to go get their stacks shortly.

    Update on Bogga and GSmith incoming.

    Bogga

    85,000.

    Down from his earlier altitude of 94,000 after losing a couple of little coups, but it's important he keeps playing hands, so that's no problem.

    GSmith

    37,000

    As you can see, he has taken a bit of a hit in what was a really peculiar affair - details coming up next.

    The GSmith hand that went wrong.

    Fella who has made some eccentric plays shoved 10,000, which was 25 Bigs. (He had A-9).

    Smith called with Ah-Qh.

    All good so far then.

    But then the geezer behind flats too. (He had, somewhat optimistically, Kh-Jh).
     
    Flop came K high, we check here & K-J man bets out, & we have to fold, obv.
     
    The Turn was an Ace, and the River was another Ace......

    Ouchio.

    Still, with Blinds now 250-500/75, that's about 75 Bigs, which is just fine.

    I'll go take a wander & see if I can see what's what with Tedson & Jigga.

    Whilst I'm away, talk amongst yourselves please.

    Jigga

    Unchanged at 26,000 or so.

    Table Tedson has broken.

    Which is fine, except I now have no idea where his new table is.

    Just the 150 or so tables to choose from then.


    Just fight a little longer my friend
    It's all worth it in the end
    But when you got nobody to turn to
    Just hold on, and I'll find you
    I'll find you
    I'll find you
    Just hold on, and I'll find you

    Yay, found Tedson.

    Down to 21,000, the cards have been cruel for him today, but a table change often brings  change of fortune.
     
    Keep on playing bro, keep on playing.

    Today's entries were a surprisingly high 2,164 (1773 last year I think), bringing the 2 flight total to just shy of 3,000.

    It might yet make 7,000 when the dust from tomorrow's carnage settles.

    Good morning fella. You will be relieved to know that news of your mid session break has been received well by Dr Kelly. I know how big that area is that you have to cover, especially when a table breaks. Please be sensible.

    Play will end at around 11.40 pm tonight (0740 UK), but all Media are barred from the room for the last 10 or 15 minutes of play.

    So, when we are 30 minutes from close of play, I'll go get latest chip counts of the Fab Four & post them here.
     
    That'll enable me to beat the throng up the Rio Corridor & be able to get a sandwich. When play ends and 1,500 players all exit & head up that corridor at the same time, it's a nightmare. A nightmare, I tell ya.
