I don't actually know, as it's 11.15pm & I'm already back in my hotel room.
However, once play has finished for the day, they will send me the chip counts of all the survivors & I'll get them posted on here either straight away (if I'm still up) or first thing tomorrow. Play is due to end a little after 1am.
It's been a good day though, very busy, as the plasma confirms...
And here's a sort of aerial view of part of the room....

@NChanning had plenty of chips last time I saw him.
Sky James was busto, both bullets gone, he was brutally unlucky in a 70k pot.
I managed to get through two bullets & still depart before the end of Late Reg, tail firmly between legs.
Bullet # 1 was a huge three way hand, AIP, but to cut a long story short, while my Q-Q was way ahead of the semi-shortie's Q-10, it was drawing super-thin (1 out) to the big stack's A-A. The miracle 1-outer failed to materialise, so that was that. With hindsight, I can maybe fold pre - but only with hindsight, as played I probably have to go broke there.
Bullet # 2 was death by a thousand cuts, could not make a hand to save my life. Eventually, with around 12 Bigs, I found 9-9 & jammed, only to get called in TWO spots, so I pretty much knew I was in awful shape before the hands were turned over. They had 10-10 & Q-Q, the board blanked out, & I came third of three.
Some days you just have to suck it up, today was one of those days. It was huge fun though, Live poker is the nuts.
I'll get the Day 1A Chip Counts up as soon as I have them, or first thing in the morning.
I don't know for absolute certain, but I'd be exceptionally surprised if you could not. I'm sure it'll be fine.
See you later.
PS - there was a big queue to buy-in yesterday an hour before it started, so don't leave it too late.
Below are the Day 1A Chip Counts.
I don’t have the exact number of Day 1A entries yet, but we know from the photo in the OP that with 30 minutes of Level 8 left, we had 212 entries which equates to £46,640, so the £60,000 guarantee will be comfortably exceeded.
43 of those made it through to Day 2 as follows...

I have copied all that off handwritten sheets, so there's possibility some typos or mis-spellings on my part, so here's the source of my information. Noter this is not in chip count order.
There was some action on Twitter too...
And this is how he ended the day...
I had to fill out an affordability form and you set a deposit limit.
Only takes a few minutes. I set my limit to £200 a month, I think, even though I've only been once and used my card once for £110 or whatever the buy in was.
I assume they still have this system.
Live poker confirmed rigged, giving Tikay a higher boat than me. KT>JT on a board of KJTddd TXd. GG and gl to everybody left in.
Morning.
Day 1B (Saturday) Chip counts. There were 239 entries on Day 1B, of which 48 survived. That means there were ~451 entries across the two days, & a prize pool of ~£99,200. Not sure I can recall an SPT with more entries, or a Day 2 with more runners.
Here’s the Day 1B chip counts, after which I’ll consolidate the 1A & 1B counts & produce the combined counts.
Please note, if a player’s name appears twice (i.e., in 1A & 1B) then they surrender their smaller stack.

It's perfectly possible - probable even - that there are some typos there, it's not always easy to read the handwritten sheets I get, so here's the Day 1B master lists. Iif you spot any obvious typos by me, just holla.

So, all being well, that's who will start day 2, & with how many chips.
Play will commence at 1pm.
Gonna be a very late finish I fancy.
Anyone care to guess the finishing time?
With an extremely late finish in prospect, I'm not sure I can manage a 20 hour shift, so the plan is to do my daily bits & bobs this morning, then grab a few hours sleep, then poll up to the Casino late afternoon, & do the Live Update all the way to the end.
