The beauty of Live Poker is you get to meet such a wonderful array of characters.
By way of a conversation opener/ice-breaker, when I sat next to him on Friday, I asked this lovely looking lad what line of work he is in. His answer, & the backstory, knocked me over.
Guess his job.
First clue - EVERYONE has heard of his job title. But I doubt anyone of you have ever met someone who does what he does.
Looks like @craigcu12 is out too as he's at the bar with Team Busto telling them a hand story. Riveting story too, but I'm busy so left them to it after the first 45 minutes, by which time we'd not yet seen the flop. Fairly sure it involved blockers.
The plasma screens are usually a bit behind, but they are suggesting there are just 54 players left & we head into the day's first break, having played 3 levels.
Good luck rose at least u made the most of your stack. I got it in good with kj in the big blind, small blind shoved with k8 and hit the 8. Good luck everyone

IRISH ROSE STOOD UP - Chapter 3
Our heroine gets it in good this time, with A-K v K-10, but K-10 man binks his ten. Then Rose hits another straight.
Very wrong, but very good.
Looks like the expensive RNG is in play, no complaints here.
Cheers for the well wishes, good luck to the remainders.

Sadly, we have lost @Sky__James
He's now sat next to me but has not troubled me with the details, as he's a proper poker player & these things happen.
The state of play at 2.25pm;

@Sky_SamT has joined James & I on the Losers Table, so that's all of us out, as Mr Channing never made Day 2 either.
I'm too embarrassed to tell you how many bullets I had.
Some good news for @TimmyRaRa fans.
Began the day with 60,300, & looks to have over 200,000 now.
On the same table, @lolufold for whom it looks like it's been a tough session so far.
Pete Wigglesworth seems to be in reverse gear too.
KitKat time.

@pompeynic
He most certainly was, in fine form too.
@IrishRose seems to be up to around 250,000, with TimmyRaRa on 225,000+.
@FeelGroggy has been asked to leave the tournament area.
A pair of Queens
Two young ladies are amongst the leaders, Irish Rose with over 300,000, & Deborah Loud Hailer not far behind.
On the FT of the GUKPT at Manchester now is, amongst others, James Rann and Ali Mallu.
