It's been such a tough afternoon this. First of all Tatjana Pasalic walked in and had a chat for 15 minutes, THEN we were joined by the ever-lovely Kara Scott.
Kara's an incredibly busy woman nowadays, fronting the ESPN coverage at the WSOP and hosting High Stakes Poker. However, it felt like we were rolling back the years when she did her interview with Tikay.
She was delighted to hear that Orford won the sidey at SPT Leeds, too...
Players on a break in 4 minutes. Still no sign of Peter, although he'll be in the jungle with a load of chips I hope.
Andrew is on around 50k after picking up a nice little pot on a paired, flushing board. Something like 5-T-5-7-4ccc board. We'll find out what happened when he arrives in the Media Room.
We've found Peter and he's on 75k. Dropped a couple of thousand, but nothing too major. He's on Table 274, table 9. Couple of very big stacks on the table, sadly downstream from Peter. Nothing to worry about.
He's found out that the guy who pushed him off AK on an Ac-Qc-Jc-Jx board had the nuts: yup, Kc-Tc.
Just got all the facts and figures from the officials here at the WSOP:

Peter's on about 90k and has some company on his new table...
Peter - Seat 9
Seat 1 is Magnus Persson, who finaled the WSOPE Main Event the year Annette won it, IIRC. Seat 3 is Lex Veldhuis. Jonny knows all about him. Seat 4 is Dario Alioto. Young Italian pro, best known as a PLO player but aggro pro basically. Seat 7 is Olivier Busquets, who is getting the lot. Won a WPT recently I think.
You have NO idea how slow the internet is in the media room here in Vegas. But the lovely Miss Kara Scott video is finally up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzJ0B24moQ Posted by Sky_Claire
EXCLUSIVE!!!! For all the years that Tikay has given me a hard time and even worse nicknames I FINALLY have my revenge. What can I say NEVER do something silly infront of the camera if its rolling! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO13cAmcQTY Posted by Sky_Claire
I was about to write that Peter is finding it tricky and is on about 55k, but Claire has just come back to say he's "won a really big hand and he's knocked out someone in Seat 2". I'm off to get the deets!!
The hand that got him the chips saw some preflop aggro between him and Seat 2, with Peter holding A-Q. The flop came Q-high and Seat 2 managed to find a spew with A-K, sticking them over the line before finding he was drawing to three outs. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Time to get the seat belts out chaps!
Did Tikay ask any questions in it BTW?
I'm off to see how those pros are handling Peter...
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (not the type Tikay needs...), chip 'em up!
When is Tikay going to interview you Claire, for the behind the scenes of Sky Poker you've been promising us since forever? ;-)
Peter 115k
