And at this point Lades & Gentlemen, after 14 hours, my fuel gauge is on red & my tummy is rumbling, so I'm off up that long Rio Corridor to treat myself to a sandwich, a choc ice, & half an hour in bed with a good book.
SuprNova & Darren gave me a wonderful gift yesterday of a book on the life of the greatest ever Victorian Engineer - & perhaps the greatest ever British subject - I K Brunel. He built the Great Western Railway, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Docks, Paddington Station, SS Great Britain, that amazing brick built arched bridge over the Thames at Maidenhead, & plenty more besides. I'll fill you in on all the details tomorrow, right?
Day 2A/B is done and dusted, and the preliminary indications are that a Brit has leapt to the chip lead - Laurence Bailey having 618K chips.
Only a few end-of-day stacks reported so far, Sam Grafton has 315K, Liv Boeree 72K (after getting a runner runner straight to stay in the event). Doug Polk, Kenny Hallaert, Mike Matusow, Chris Vitch and Barry Shulman among others with chips.

Morning Boggo.
I'm just getting set up in the Media Centre, & clearing my "overnight urgents", then I'll take a look and post. (Or my new Assistant, Markycash, will).
FCHD usually gets these done for us, but he does not seem to be around this morning.
In Response to Re: WSOP Main Event, Day 2A - the continuing Tale of the Fab Four : Thanks all for your help. Tikay I'll come in a bit early and have a chat. Boggo Posted by boggo
I can drop you off on my way to go get supplies if it helps David. No probs if you have alternate arrangements. Can get you down at the Laguna Bar in the Palazzo near reception if you let me know a time.
1 Matthew Hyman (USA) 214K. Was a regular in Super High Rollers but nothing since 2015. $290K cash in a WPT Championhip in 2013, and $430 in a Super High Roller ($100K buyin) in 2014 2 Benjamin Nicolas (FRA) 94K. Not many cashes but did come 23rd in an EPT main event in Barcelona in 2012 which accounts for over />$50K of his $77K total. Only recorded cash in 2017 was in Senegal of all places. No WSOP career cashes. 3 Slade Fisher (NZL) 62K. $200K cashes, $61K of which was in the 2012 Aussie Millions and $24K at the 2013 EPT Grand Final. His cash in the Millionaire Maker ($6K) was his first ever cash in North America 4 Ryan Johnson (USA) 52K. Has cashed 10 times, all in the last 12 months and all in one in Vegas. Best for $6549 at a Venetian deepstack last June, a third of his total cashes. Most of his success has come in Venetian Deepstacks, but did make one WSOP cash last year when 777th in the 2016 Colossus 5 David Boggon (GBR) 38K. Our hero. 6 Christopher Savage (USA) 116K. Someone who has actually won MTTs. 2 in 2005 for a total of over $100K, and one at a WSOP Circuit Stop in Biloxi for $126K last September. No cashes at the WSOP proper though. 7 Ryan Breslin (USA) 121K. 3 WSOP cashes last year and one this year all around the $3K mark, but has done better in a couple of deepstacks at the Venetian last month, twice over $10K 8 Alexander Saladze (CAN) 48K. $4K in an event in Montreal in 2013, $611 in a Rio Daily Deepstack in 2014 and that's it 9 David Wilhoit (USA) 117K. Another player with no cashes since 2014, 7 career cashes from 2011-14, all at the WSOP in NLH, including successive ME scores, 246th in 2011 and 438th in 2012.

How did he do THAT?
I was just suggesting he did it, & lo & behold, ZING, it's there.
Ha, was just having a read up on the thread before I left the room
Going to Wallmart for supplies and then getting breaky and I can head over a little early (probably around mid-day) if that isn't a problem?
Cafe Latte with 2 sweetners?
