I have a few more photos to add - mainly Durrrrr & Hellmuth, then that'll be a wrap on today's Photo Blog.
And we'll interview both Paul & Tony when play ceases for the night, & Claire will upload them, & that'll be another day done.
We've had a good day here, I think, with lots of excellent video Interviews in the bag, just as we did yesterday, in fact. Quite pleasing, really.
Somehow, I need to find a few hours to clear some non-Vegas work, too. I must have top side of 300 e-mails to reply to, & I hate getting behind with them. Mr Milner & Mr Duffy, my two main "suit" Bosses, are hard taskmasters. Not in the Attila class, mind, not even close.....;)
Tell you what though - grand job I got here at Sky Poker, eh?
With just one hour of play remaining, both our boys seem to be trundling along quite nicely. Paul has 27,200, & Tony about 39,000. Neither seem to be in danger of being eclipsed, & I fancy they will both "shut down" for the day very soon. At the danger of tempting fate, could we have FOUR players into Day 2, with Sue still to play? That would be a truly extraordinary performance from Team Sky Poker. We shall see.......

Tikay must be getting Tired, that's twice I've seen Claire slip past the Attila-ization filter.
Thanks for the updates, nice to have a catchup before work in the morning.
I must admit being knocked out of that event does hurt real bad no matter what anyone says. I know how Paul and Darren feel, the important thing is that you both go on to have a fantastic holiday and have fun.
unlucky jazzy... was a coinflip as tikay said?? what was the chipstacks at the time?? if im doing ok there, i do not put them all in with qq pre... if he needed a double up fair enough but so close to day two... i wait
Morning all! Well we are going along nicely out here, with two players already into Day 2. Today, it's the turn of Paul Rumboll (JazzyJ) from Doncaster, who is a Morrisons Supermarket Manager, & Tony Stroud, (Penguin7), the long-distance coach driver from Brandon, in Suffolk. Paul is in Amazon Room, Orange, Table 312, Seat 3. Tony is in Amazon, Blue, Table 296, Seat 8. They have contrasting styles - Tony likes to get very busy early, whilst Paul sets off at a more sedate pace. If you can show the support for Paul & Tony that you showed for Dan, Guy & Darren, it would really help them - so lets hear it for Tony & Paul. We inteviewed them both this morning, & I'll let you know just as soon as the Videos have been uploaded. As always, the fastest (but very brief) Updates will com via my Twitter feed. To acess them, just sign up to Twitter, it's 100% free. My Twitter page is http://twitter.com/Tony_Kendall Posted by Tikay10
Well done Penguin7, Ul JazzyJ nasty way to go out.
Dohhhhhhh, lot of the estimates are between 2.5mil-4mil, lets face it though we will never know. But he has also been said to of been 'free-rolling' on the back of his tournament cashes so a good chance it may 'only' be less than million.
Has anyone got Durr on twitter or anything? - Im not on it, is he still in? - If so how many chips and what r the blinds when he starts again? Thanx Posted by DOHHHHHHH

30 minutes to go, & Tony & Paul remain in OK shape, & have pretty much shut down for the day.
4 players or more in Day 2 remains a distinct possibility.
Tony (Penguin7) finished day 1c on 39,000 - excellent, & well done him!
But I may have tempted fate with my thoughts of a double success today.
On almost the very last hand of the day, Paul (jazzyJ) picked up Q-Q, & got it all-in pre against A-K of diamonds.
The A-K hit the flop, but it was an all-heart Flop, & Paul held the Q of hearts.
But he failed to improve, lost the flip, & is OUT.
He is, understandably, mortified, very disappointed indeed, but has taken it with dignity & good grace.
We interviewed both players, & Claire will Upload the Interviews from her Room, in about 20 minutes.
So, that's it from us, see you tomorrow, when Sue takes the stage.
Night all.
Thanks for the updates, nice to have a catchup before work in the morning.
You did well to get there, now enjoy the holiday!
well done Tony, and ul Paul
