27 hours was the answer
short-stacked A-10 into Anthony Ncholls' Q-Q
He flopped a ten but did not improve
Nicholls is the chip leader with 800k of the 3m in play at 5-10k
He had JJ into Craig McCorkell's QQ to double him up and swap stacks
Down to 300k or 30x bb
He reshipped in the small blind over a min button raise from Dan Rudd and was called
Shallow Q-J, Rudd A-A. Aces held to double Rudd up
Down to 5x bb he shipped A-7 and lost
Approximately zero with 40 left
I fact not approximately. Exactly
600,000 knocking 3 players out on the same hand calling a raise, re-raise and pot shove with K-K-6-2
He flopped K-7-4-4-2
Thank you, good night everyone

Enzo Gomez is chip leader in the main with 270,000 with 31 of 63 left after 7 levels
blinds 8-16k, and all playing very snugly with little blinds pressure
in the key hand he had J-6 against Rutter's Q-J on J-6-7 at which point both stacks were all in
7 on the turn to counterfeit the two pair and hand the pot to Rutter
He then took 4-4 against McCorkell's 9-9, no help, to depart
In the main into the last fifteen minutes of the day with 22 of 68 remaining
The High Roller is still 4 handed and 40-50x big blinds deep. Have been watching it and they are four very good players and in the absence of coolers its is going to take a while
As its quiet on here tonight will put chip counts for the main up in the morning.
1b of the main is at midday.
Stuart Rutter was 3rd

"Hi All please remember Day 1c of the £500,000 guaranteed £1000 Sky Main Event is a Freezeout so if you want to try twice you need to play tomorrow as can only re enter following day, it will also help us out if you can play tomorrow as we expect to be full on Thursday so you will avoid being an alternate."
day 2 of the PLO at 1pm
and the final 10 seat GTD Mega sat into the Main event at 8pm tonight. £50 rebuy
Yes, a shame it fell so tantalisingly close to the Guarantee, but even so, 96 Entries for a £500 PLO is a staggering achievement. Not sure there has ever been a field that size in the UK for a PLO, I certainly can't recall one.
I played it, & loved every moment, but variance caught up with me.
The Chip Leader is a lovely guy, I've nicknamed him "The Mad Norweigan". Never played PLO before, but he was busting folks left right & centre.
He raised every single hand. In one memorable hand he busted THREE players.
He had opened UTG to 7,000 with the spannerish & 4 suited K-K-7-4. It then went POT, REPOT all-in, call-all in.
Back to Norway. He has 7,000 invested, & it is something like 85,000 to call!
He calls, obv, & the flop came K-7-4, Turn 4, ship the lot. Incred stuff.
Lovely lad, too. Good for the game & all that.
