I'm too interested in how Will's doing to sleep.
Hopefully I'll be the one playing next year.
Start of the 4th Level today.
973 players have Exited in the first 3 Levels!
I've just noticed that Phil Hellmuth has 595,000 chips after a huge double up, a flopped set of Kings against a turned set of 9's.
Phil Ivy is sitting on 475,000.
The chip leader is a Frenchman Ludovic Lacay on 700,000 - only 0.0036% of chips in play, so nothing really...
Passed round to Will in the Cut-Off, he makes it 6k to go.
It gets as far as the BB, where Antonio, playing 300k or so, & mid-massage, shoots Will a look, then re-Raises to 16k. This looks strong.
Will takes another look at his cards, & Passes pretty quickly.
This massage thing is interesting - both John Juanda, & Antonio, seem to have permanent massages, the girls have been kneading their backs for 6 hours now.
So Mr Hellmuth & Mr Ivey still have a little work to do, as you suggest.
Well, not quite a Double-Up, but he's back up to 100k, from a low of about 80k I think, so the tide is turning.
He has a quite dreadful seat - an aggo guy to his left, & Antonio behind him. But they are no better than him, & while he recognizes the danger, he's not in any way scared or intimidated by them.
1 hour into the penultimate Level of the Day.
And 30 minutes later, we break the 1,000 barrier - there are now 999 left.
So 1,045 have already departed today. Extraordinary.
We'll be down to 900 by close of play, & tomorrow will be the never-ending Cash Bubble, which can take as long as 2 hours - 70 odd Tables playing Hand for Hand takes forever.
I'll ask him in a bit - he's railing Will right now.
Gliter - yeah, Will is long on patience, no worries on that score, & no reason to get busy yet.
Just seen Antonio make a breathtaking play with no hand, & despite being quite shallow, his 5-Bet was unbelievable.
15 mins to the end of the penultimate Lvel, & there are 981 left.
Anyone care to guess how many will be left at the end of Play? 2,044 started today.
They are on the last break of the Day now, 1 level left.
Will has 106,000
The rent will be 1,500/3,000/400 when they return.
Will is completely settled, & not in any way fussed by his Stack. He's meeting with his Railing Crew right now, for a conflab.
15 mins into the last Level of the Day, Will's stack is unchanged, minus his Blinds & Antes.
But now we have Action.....
Tricky Dicky, sat to Will's right the whole day, makes his umpteenth Button Steal. But this is an Attempted Button Steal, because Will shoves All-In.
Tricky gives it the customary dwell, & has a bit of a chunter, & then lets go.
What you think - Air v Air?
That took Will to 110,000, & on the very next Hand, will makes it 7k from the Button - cheap, consaidering there is 8,500 in the middle already - & surprisingly, neither of the Big-Stacked Blinds accommodate him.
Close to 120,000 now.
This was the Plasma during the Break. (Blinds now 1,500/3,000/400).
The "Remaining" is as of right now, 930.
That first Prize - top left - do you?
As a slight diversion, here's a man covered in bees. It's been a long day. For him.
Kara Scott is now north of 400,000. MBN.
930 left? Try again. With 1 hour & 9 minutes play left, the "remaining" figure is now.....
882
648 get paid.
Some day! 1,158 have gone Busto, quite extraordinary.
864 left, with exactly 1 hour to go.
They'll deffo be within 200 of the money when they finish tonight.
Here's Will, minutes ago.
I heard Hellmuth was going well - set over set propelled him up the LeaderBoard.
MoneyMaker went on Day One - no real surprise there.
Carlos Mortensen bust this aftenoon.
Here's a blurry (Mother Hen took the 'photo) Anthony Hyphen-Hyphen, still railing Will. I sneaked him into an Area of the Room where spectators are prohibited, right by Will's Table, & promised him he'd be OK. He's been ejected 5 times so far, but he's like a rubber ball, he keeps bouncing back.
30 minutes to go to End of Play for today.
Will has.....
128,000
What a grinder he is!
