Missing the snap of the cards, rattle of the chips. The sponginess of the table. I bet there was an incredible buzz just before play started. I wish I was there. Good luck to all .
I dribbled down to about 15 Bigs & after a fella opened I got it in with 4-4, he naturally called (there was a £220 bounty on me) & he had the A-10, so that's OK, more than happy to flip.
We both hit the flop, but I hit it much harder, so a nice 2XUp there.
Chap two to my right been busy all night, had over 100,000, & been caught a few times with all sorts, 9-6, J-4, that sort of stuff.
Then I pick up T-T, there's a min open & 3 callers & now Matey Boy squeezed, exactly as he'd been doing all night (very well I may say). Just what I wanted, I'll be unlucky not to be in great shape here.

Not quite as bad as Palace, who, incidentally, has been at the bar all evening with a whole squad of reprobates. It's all getting seriously messy, but for a little bloke, he seems to hold his alcohol well.
I have the Day 1A chip counts but they came to me via a series of text images & it'll take a little while to turn them into a coherent, readable version. Sam is helping me with this.
But.....
Sam, aka @IVIystical has a cunning plan & is going to sit down with me at Noon & we are going to do a VBlog with all (well, some of....) the chat, news & goss from yesterday, & the idea is to rinse repeat for Day 1B & Day 2. If only I knew what a VBlog was, but anyway, we'll give it a bash.
Oh my, Sam is such a boss, & he's turned those images of hand written counts into this......

Walked to me, I make it 700 and he flats. I have K-5cc.
I'm betting any flop,
Bonus time, it comes K-9-5. Got him.
He check calls twice after tanking then I set him in. He calls a little quicker this time.
I proudly table my K-5.
He proudly tables his K-K.
I bet there was an incredible buzz just before play started. I wish I was there.
Good luck to all .
Have fun and gl all
Not that I'm aware of, but I'll get the overnight chip counts after play ends (around 01.15) & post them in the morning.

He had the Aces.

Soon as it's done it will appear in here.
It may not work, but we'll try.
Laters.

How many of those names do you recognize, & what can you tell us about them?
Off you go.
One surprise is Blair Reid is from the Matt Bates school of aliases
Sam should have put all the Sky Names on the list too....bleeding amateur.
