With 2572 players remaining, and 1084 to be paid, Jack Effel has told players to be prepared to play until the bubble bursts tonight. And, when the tournament hits one of its biggest moments, ESPN will be showing.... something else. No mainstream TV coverage of Day 3 at all. Posted by FCHD
That's a good thing, imo. Will be a very late night though, as play slows to a crawl near the bubble. Ask Jac.
It turns out I know the fella to Boggo's immediate right, Ryan Johnson, as we shared a few Big O cash tables last week.
He plays at a place called "Talking Stick" in Arizona, & is a full time live cash pro. He also has a house in Hawaii where his wife lives, & he splits his life between his two homes, one in Arizona, the other in Hawaii. WAL.
Arizona is full, during the winter, of what are known as "snowbirds". These are folks from the colder parts of North America, & more often, Canada, who come south for the warmer weather every winter.
And Ryan makes a good living fleecing - plucking maybe? - these snowbirds.
He's a lovely man, too, a proper respectful, well-mannered gentleman.
Marky has gone in the room to see how Boggo is getting on. I tried to stop him, but he never understood me. He does not appear to speak - or listen - in English.

One hour of play now completed.
How is Boggo, who began with 37,900, doing?
80,000
Reminder, blinds, for the next hour, are 1,000-2,000/300.
So 80,000 is, allowing for antes, about 35 Bigs or so?
Interesting Stats Incoming
Ish.
2,572 players returned today.
2,340 remain.

Are you still the PLO8 Chump/Chomp/Chimp/Chemp?

Markycash has just arrived to help.
Within minutes, the Rio Fire Alarm has gone off.
Think I'd better keep him away from Boggo.
BOK ALERT
Marky has gone in the room to see how Boggo is getting on. I tried to stop him, but he never understood me. He does not appear to speak - or listen - in English.
Boks gonna Bok
Boggo ran a full house into quads.
50,000
Are we blaming Bokkycash for that?
