    A belated good afternoon to you all, I've recharged my batteries with a bit of a power nap & am all set for what I assume will be a marathon session.

    Hopefully we can get a bit of back & forth going, these Updates are hard work when there is no bounce.

    I've arrived during the first break (breaks are every 3 levels, which is 2 hours), & it seems there is some rather good news for me, if not for others....

    The big clue is bottom left.....

    So in just 2 hours over a third of the field have departed, they've already gone from 90 to 56.

    Great news, unless of course you were one of the 34...

    OK, I've just got a bunch of 'photos, & they'll be up shortly.

    Looking forward to the updates and photos, thanks

    In sad news, a quick peruse of the remaining tables failed to locate @tomgoodun. He was definitely still in last night, but it looks like we've lost him today.

    Bit annoying really, but we shared tables & even sat next to each other for a while yesterday, which was really pleasing.

    Firstly, you may recall we had a little Twitter action after Day one from "darrenmpoker", well he's Twittered again...






    The problem is, I don't know him from Adam, so if he, or someone who knows him, reads this, let me know please & I'll go get a photo.

    We also had this from Alan Cole...





    He was 2nd in chips going in to today, so same applies, if anyone can point me to him I'll get a photo & maybe be nice to him.

    All good thanks, hope all is well your end.

    Shame about @tomgoodun busting, one of the good guys. Gl to all remaining Sky guys.

    Bit of a surprise reveal now. The chip leader going into today was this man...

    Michael Nichols 389,500


    Any of you who read the Daily Results Thread should be familiar with him, & with his permission, I can reveal his Sky Poker alias is @loololollo

    He's seriously gifted at the poker. Not much action so far today, think he's won a few chips but nothing significant. Yet.

    That's him in the middle, sorry for the poor 'photos, but you'll have to get used to that.





    And here's his stack as of a few minutes ago. (Looks like about 420,000).








  • Tikay10Tikay10 Member, Administrator, Moderator Posts: 170,111


    Ahh yes, chip denoms/colours, so you can better work out how much they've got.

    White = 1,000

    Blue = 5,000

    Salmon (?) 25,000

  • Tikay10Tikay10 Member, Administrator, Moderator Posts: 170,111

    The ridiculously young & dashingly handsome young man in the middle is @morris707, aka Ben Morris. Smashing lad.



  • Tikay10Tikay10 Member, Administrator, Moderator Posts: 170,111

    Some good news, with 44 paid, we are very close to the bubble already...







  • Tikay10Tikay10 Member, Administrator, Moderator Posts: 170,111

    So, 4 off the money & the stalling & tanking is well under way.

    Once we get to 44 & the bubble bursts though, we'll lose a bunch of players very quickly.

    Maybe it won't be such a late finish after all.

    @NChanning is still in, going along steadily.

    The dark-haired gentleman in the foreground is Ronnie de Beauloix, (pronounced boll- well, you get the drift). Last time I saw him he was grey-haired, looks like he been on the hair dye. If I ever got round to writing a book, he'd get a chapter. Used to live on Lingfield Racecourse back in the day, changed his name to De Beauloix by Deed Poll I believe.

    I went to Moscow with him & Ed Giddens & we all got arrested at the Airport on the way home with around $100,000 between us. We'd won the money fair & square in a Team Event, but then things got messy. And the story got even more amazing 3 weeks later in dreadfully tragic circumstances. Amazing story, & the bottom line was I got stiffed for around $40,000 & someone died. True story bro.
