That SHOULD have read "Dan" Raised on the Button, not Sam. Sorry.
And in the previous Post, it SHOULD have said 2,830 played this Event.
Sorry, I have temporarily lost my "Edit" facility. And my brain.

And shove he did.
It was Passed round to Dan in the Small Blind, Dan had 33k or 34k.
This is an "any two cards" auto-shove, & so Dan moved in.
The Big Blind snap-Called - oops, this is bad.
The Big Blind showed A-8.
Dan had suited connectors - 10 of Clubs, 3 of Clubs. OK, OK, gapped Suited Connetors.
Board came 4-3-9-3-A.
Whahoo!
Dan up to 73,500, his high-point of the Tourney.
There are 117 left, & he has $3,616 locked up. The next Ladder is to $4,016, at 109 I think.
I think it jumps big at 99, $6,000 or so, will check & report back.
Blinds are now 2,000 - 4,000, with a RA of 500.
9.30 pm Vegas, 0530 UK.
Dan Raised it up with 3-3, but a shortie shoved on him, & he had to Call. Shortie had A-4, & hit.
But he nicked the Blinds twice.
He now has 73,000, & Blinds elevate to 3,000 - 6,000 (RA 500) in 8 minutes.
His Table just broke, & his new Table is full of super-deep stacks. Which is fine.
He now has $4,016 locked up.
Number of Players remaining.....

9.45 Vegas, 0545 UK.
They are on a short break now.
Dan has 63,000, Blinds will be 3k - 6k, (RA 500) when play restarts.
If the Blinds go through him twice more, it's shove-time, & what will be will be - Double-Up or Bust.
Fingers crossed. Whatever happens, he's done superbly, & let's remember, he was down to 1,100 at one Stage on Day One.
The next money ladder is at 90th place, when it goes to about $4,500.
Over 2,800 players started Day One.
Nearly 400 players returned for Day Two.
Players remaining now........

Dan has 100,000.

Dan now has just over $6,000 locked up.
The full Team Sky Poker are Railing him - Annicka, (spelling?), two of Dan's mates, Haysie, Adam, James, Jill, Dan, & Mother Hen.
Dan let go of 10-10 after it went Re-Raise, Re-Re-Raise behind him.
Then he Raised it up again, & got no business. Pity - he had K-K.
He has $7,400 locked up now.
