    End of Level 4 approaches, & Guy, although clearly very tired, seems quite comfy, & is under no pressure.

    It's now 10.15pm here (06.15 UK), & we have a 20 minute break, then 1 more hour to play.

    Hopefully, we'll get a quick end of play interview with Guy, then Claire will get it uploaded.

    Tomorrow - Tuesday, Day 2b, is Dan Day.

    11.40pm Vegas (07.40am UK), & play has ENDED for the day.

    From what we can see, Guy appears to have about 30,000 -  a great effort, & result.

    Once the "bagging up" is done, we hope to interview him, & Attila will try to upload that before we give best for the day.

    We start again on Tuesday, following Dan.

    Many thanks for supporting the boys.

    PS - Let's hear it for Guy!

    Goodnight fom Attila, & from me.

    Great reporting Tikay. Of course, we all know this adventure is about the players and I am gutted for Darren. Got it in good and on many many days that hand holds up. Unfortunately the day when it didn't HAD to be at the Main Event, didn't it? Unlucky fella.

    As for Guy, congratulations on making it through. As they say, you can't win the Main Event on Day 1, so you've done all you needed to do and with a healthy stack to get to work with. Nice one.

    Well done Guy on making it through day one - a great achievement. Plenty of time to have a rest now and get yourself ready for day two where you can do the business again!

    Horrendous luck for Darren. Poker is a harsh game sometimes, hopefully he enjoyed the experience and can walk away with his head held high knowing that he got his chips in the middle when miles ahead.

    A great start for Guy, very well played, hopefully he'll be feeling less tired and over the jet-lag after the rest days between now and day 2.

    A Brit (James Mitchell) is the chip leader and there are many Union Jacks well placed after Day 1A. Guy is in 476th place from 1125 starters.
