What did you have for dinner? I am just tucking into some cheese on toast with brown sauce and...wait for it...a nice mug of tea! Posted by MAXALLY
Lol, believe it or not, James Foley & his mate - both a little "tired & emotional" today, bless them, got me a latte, a giant sticky bun, & a banana, as I prefer not to go for dinner. Heaven.
OK, off to see how the boys are doing. Be right back.

Perfect Vegas time fry up for me.. 2 thick cut bacon, lincs sausage (cut in half to make sure its cooked proper) egg runny & sunny, toast & peppery tomatoes & immense pot of tetleys.. I'd fold now if I were you )
Marc's table is the absolute centre of attention, it is by the ropes, there is a HUGE rail,, plus ESPN are there with 3 cameras, a sound man with his "boom" microphone, all the gubbins, it's hard to even get near it.
It includes three great players & 3 very good players, three of the players "cover" Marc, & thay are all going at it hammer & tongs, 3 & 4 betting pre every hand, no quarter asked or given, it is THE most exciting thing to watch, attack attack attack.
So, Marc opens, as per, & picks up a caller from Mr Hat.
Marc c-bets the flop & turn, & after much deliberation, checks the river.
Mr Hat now fires out a mini-bet, 37,000 into about 90,000.
Marc thinks for ages, stares his man down, Hat stares back, + a bit of speech play from Hat. I don't now if Marc is gonna raise him, fold, or call with 9 high or some equal spanners.
Eventually, Marc lets go.
And then that thing happens.
Marc has pushed his cards towards the Dealer, face down, ditto the winner.
But now an ESPN guy with a little Z50 camera or similar (a hand-held mini-camera) wants to SEE the two hands.
So the Dealer touches the muck with Marc's hand (he MUST do that, to "kill it"), & Marc is given his cards back. The cameraman now gets Marc to show his "dead" hand to the mini-camera.
Nobody else can see them. Rinse repeat for Mr Hat's hand.
Bear in mind that the players sign a "Disclaimer" saying that ESPN MAY record the action, film the table etc, but I very much doubt - in fact I am sure - they cannot "force" a player to reveal his hand.
In those circumstances, would YOU show your hand to the camera?
Me? No chance, forget that. Maybe I'm just stubborn, but why should I?

Marc Wright 480,000
Dan Pickard 370,000
Quick story follows off the back off TRIP5's Post, about ESPN wanting to see the mucked hand of Nottinghm Nick Gibson (from Windsor).

Plasma says 927 remain, with 1 hour of this level remaining, & 1 x 2 hour level after that.
Average is 199,738.
This level is 1,500-3,000/400, next is 2,00-4,000/500.
They are approx 260 away from the bubble.....
918 remain, average 215,621.

Playing every pot, find qq, man has AA #minorsetback

Break has commenced, I expect the lads will drop in shortly.
Next - & last x 2 hour level of the day - will be 2,000-4,000/500.
Unless the Plasma has dropped behind, we are still 115 off the Bubble, so I don't see it going tonight.
Of "our" Team, yes, just Marc, but we are also following "Nosebleed", aka Dan Pickard, who has 370,000.
Marc is in the Media Centre now, he has around 730,000 after that "ninor setback" with Queens into Aces.
Not seen Dan yet.
Marc says his new table is ultra soft, & he is opening every single pot.
According to the OFFICIAL chip counts, (notoriously unreliable, it must be said) Marc is currently 7th (of 882) in chips.
It will be interesting to see if he can make the most of his new table.
Run Good
* Doh - the old man beat me to it
