Nico has around 25k and Martin 40k at the first break. Ryan has had in his own words a very boring start and has 29k.
It is hard to put into words how busy the Rio is today, they are playing on every table in sight and even playing in the kitchen!!! I haven't been able to get my lunch yet.
No word on final numbers yet but we should have that at around 9pm tonight.
Good luck Mr Bates. All the best. Rainman397. P.S If you cash Mr Bates i would cnsider it an immense honour if you could find the time to participate in the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack. Posted by rainman397
Yes and if you don't cash please never darken our doorstep again.

Good luck all. Think I only know Matt Bates and Ryan Spittles. Seen MB had a bad start, but still plenty of time to recover. GL mate! How's Ryan getting on? COME ON THE SKY BOYS! GL GL, Graham Posted by StayOrGo
Ryan is doing OK, got a tough table, & dribbled a few chips, but he's fine, got about 29,000.
Probably around 3500 today to make the total field a smidgin either side of the 6000 mark, which would be down about 10% on last year. Posted by FCHD
Think you are right, Barny, my gut feel is around 6,000, maybe a few less.
If so, it won't be a big deal. The introduction of "budget" events such as Colossus & Lucky Sevens, especially the former, with north of 20,000 runners, is far more important to poker generally, imo.
I think the WSOP have done a fine job again this year, they tweaked, fettled fiffed & faffed & the overall product is better. WP them.
It's opened to 400 in the cut off, & Brett makes it 1,100 on the button.
Kid in the BB, wearing a horrendous fluorescent orange day-glo t-shirt (why do people wear such bright colours?), gives Brett a long, mean, stare. Brett does not respond, he just looks at the felt. Day-Glo stares at Brett, then stares again. Real mean stare. I nearly wet myself, it was so mean.
Day-Glo makes it 3,000.
Cut off folds quickly & carries on with their knitting.
Has our man got pocket 5s and the nasty orange villain got AQ off? Let's hope so anyway BTW Tikay, great work on the videos and updates. Andy Posted by TwoAnchors
Thanks for the reminder, Andy, I was supposed to post yesterday's Videos, too.

Just watched Brett play out a very big hand.

Brett gives it a long think. Then flats.
Off we go......
Flop.....
Qc - 5c - 3h
Day-Glo gives the mean stare again. Meannnnnnnn.
He eventually bets 4,000.
Brett just stares at the felt. After about a minute, he just calls.
Turn?
A menacing Ac.
So, Qc - 5c - 3h - Ac.
Day-glo is still giving Brett the mean staredown.
Day-Glo bets 6,000.
Again, Brett dwells for a minute, never once giving Day-Glo the eye.
Call.
This is a BIG pot now, & Day-Glo has just 6k behind. (Why did he leave 6k behind, looked like shove or check to me given the pot size).
River, Ks.
Qc-5c-3h-Ac-Ks
All the draws got there.
Bit of an anti-climax, as it goes check check.
Now, if you can name both hands, you'll win Free Entry into next Tuesday's Turbo Tuesday Main Event.
You have ONE HOUR from now to name both hands, & you are allowed two attempts.
I'll make the rules up as I go along. No arguments, right?
No correct answers so far.
Note to bromley04 - poker players only are eligible to enter.
Both players have QQ
Guys, poker players ONLY please.
I've had a Memo from the Suits (these are rarely telling me I'm the greatest.....) saying I can't keep blowing their promo budget.
I've told them "don't worry boys, your money is safe".
40 minutes left to get that £11 Free Entry from Sky Poker.
Guess I best go do that now.
Appreciate the kind words, really do.
No correct answers to EITHER hand so far.
Dayglo AQ
