Viva Las Vegas - let's go. News, updates & goss about our qualifiers.

Early days, but on my travels I have seen Ben Nuttall scooping a nice pot in with AQ and Tim Rowland getting it quietly without showdown.

William Kerr in good spirits I think but I couldn't really tell what he was saying to me.

This was 10 minutes before they started, we had a little meet in the Corridor, then Mr Ambo gave them a little pep talk.

Best of luck all today. Hope you all run well and enjoy it.

I hope the interview with Mr Kerr comes with subtitles.

Michael Skudder has chipped up to about 13k from the starting stack of 10. The last time I walked past the boys on Table 71 they were betting into each other. No love lost there.

FCHD

Not directly related to the Sky players, but Barry Hutter who earlier won the $1500 Shootout, started playing 3-handed with the other 4 registered players not yet turned up, then busted one of his two opponents so he has doubled up and is now effectively playing heads-up early on Day 1.

Curt Livermore is here too. Pavillion White T130 S6

SoLack

good luck, whoever they may be

I did think this too, pre meeting Keith1960... he makes Liam sound perfectly understandable.

GL all out there, will you make sure Daddy Jac doesn't litter please

Sky_SamT

It's the first break and it looks like we have a full compliment of qualifiers still going.

Chip counts as follows:

Alan Shore - 13.5k

William Kerr - 11.7k

Ben Nuttall - 7.5k

Lee Rogers - 10.5k

Michael Skudder - 16k

Nathan Thomas - 10k

David Galvez - 12k

Tim Rowland - 9.5k

Curt Livermore - 17k

Paul Wood - 11k

Neil Channing - 6.5k

Any of the qualifiers on a table with a recognisable name?

Sky_SamT

Not from what we have seen. Will certainly keep an eye out for the names.

Not that we can see, though Neil Channing has James Woods on his table. I think he's an actor bloke.

And then from the WSOP updates, also Allyn Shulman, as Woods has just doubled through her.

Tim Davie also playing today, I presume he is still a Sky player (without the live shows I've lost touch of who is playing the rollers etc. these days). Roberto Romanello & James Dempsey also listed with the Union Flag on the chip count listings

Sky_SamT

So the day continues and we are about to pass 2000 entries for flight A. With Flight B starting at 4pm we could sail towards the 5000 runner mark.

Mr Channing speaking to the qualifiers earlier set the target for 40,000 chips to safely navigate day 1 here's hoping the qualifiers continue to build their stacks. 

With 10 1 hour levels today there is still a long way to go

Sky_SamT

An interesting spot for Robert Cakans who is playing Day 1A. His daughter gets married at 7pm tonight here in Vegas, will he make it to the wedding or will he still be stacking his chips....

And here's the happy couple (+ an interloper) at 9.45 this morning.

As we near the end of Level 4, some chip counts incoming.

Sam has gone across to Palazzo to collect those who are playing Flight 1b (4pm Vegas, Midnight UK), so I'm briefly 2nd in charge here. Gawd help you all.

I arrived at the table of Lee Rogers just as it all kicked off.

There was a K high flop, & chips were flying in all directions.

Eventually, Lee & Mr Anon got the lot in, on a K high flop.

Lee had the Aces.

Mr Anon had A-K.

Easy game.

Turn came a club, to give A-K the NFD......

River was.......

Tikay10

.....a red 2.

BOOMIO, full 2xUp.

Lee Rogers, 20,500.

Tikay10

Meanwhile, David Williams had an even bigger cheek flapper.

He had a 3 way coup, his K-K, v Q-Q, v NFD.

Hold please, hold.

It held, & he zooms up to 32,000.

Tikay10

Sad news, William Kerr is OUTO - or at least, I think that was what he said. It sucks to bust one of these early, it really does.

Mr Channing is on 6,700 after a recent 2xUp. He is co-habiting a table with James Woods & the most personable Allyn Shulman.

More chip counts follow......  

Tikay10

Paul Wood 11,500. He is in a wheelchair, so what an effort to even get here. Good luck Paul, who having a ball.
 
Alan Shore 11,500

Ben Nuttall 5,500

Dave Maudlin 14,000

Nathan Thomas 9,625

Tim Rowland 6,800

A lot of tables have already broken, so it's a tough gig to find some of our guys, but I'll keep looking.

Hi Tikay

I know you cant put real names to alasies 

But i dont know the guys real name.

How is Grae doing. 

Tikay10

Neil Channing is up to 18,000 after quite an extraordinary coup, he had 10-10 v A-K, but it came A high. With a 10 on the jolly old river.

Tikay10

Level 5 starts shortly, Blinds will be 100-200 with a running 25.

Now there's an awkward question, given I have to be very careful with what I say & how I phrase things, but he is doing just fine thank you.

If I recall correctly, he has 20,000, after his Aces held up v A-K on a K high flop.
