The Dinner Break (75 minutes) is nearly complete, thank goodness, it is chaos in here, utter chaos.
During the break, an announcement came over the PA system to say that the Swimwear USA 2015 contestants would now enter the poker tournament area, and - wait for it - "players can meet them in person". You hear that? - "in person". As opposed to what, I wonder?
And so, about 50 young ladies, all skimpily dressed, wobbling on high heels which must constitute a health hazard, with a complexion similar to Carlo Citrone, all pranced into the room - three of them on segways.
Meanwhile, behind them, players are busy "dunk tanking", with huge cheers & boos as unfortunates get dunked - or not - in ice cold water.
Honestly, the world has gone mad.
4 more levels to play today, &, remarkably, all of our Tenacious Ten remain in contention.
In addition, CELTICFAN, who also played yesterday, played again today, busted pre-break, but intends to fire one more bullet.
They are all squeezed into glittery dresses or outfits two sizes too small, with an abundance of wobbly cleavage, ridiculously high heels upon which they can barely walk, & fake smiles. It's not an edifying sight, not at all.
What happened to the Doris Day or Julie Andrews look?
No overflowing cleavage in them days, just a good "Toni perm", a nice frilly blouse buttoned all the way up to the neck, seamed stockings (99 denier) & a flash of suspender. Ooohhh.
I'm not sure what Natterley Bromley had for dinner, but I'll have a pint of the same next time I play.
First hand back after the break she sees a limp, then a raise, in front of her, so she ships everything in with Q-Q, then gets looked up in TWO spots, by A-K & A-10.
She does a hold, & trebles up.
Then, holding K-10 on a board of K-6-2-9-K, she check-called Larry Loose every street, got to showdown & was shown 5-5. MBN.
59,000, and cruising like a boss.
Just realised where that coffee Bar is - by the entrance to the Casino, where Madonna's silver car is displayed - right by where I enter & exit the Main Building on the way to & from my Room every day. For some reason it never occurred to me I could get a latte there. In that coffee bar.....
Natterley Bromley - 77,000. After her treble up, & that K-10 v 5-5 hand, she had Aces v Kings & held.
Adam Bromley - 42,000
PokerKinga 65,000
Munchkin00 31,000
Perizoma - 35,000, down from 70,000
BigBob - 40,000
devil_tear - 19,000
esox - just busted. A high board, his A-K + FD (which missed) v A-8 (two pair).
IH8PALACE - his seat is now occupied by a young lady, so I fear he has perished.
CELTICFAN - as far as I can tell, he never re-loaded during the dinner Break.
We are now on the last break of the day, so two more levels to play today.
3 survived Day 1a, & a good chance of at least the same again today. (Reverse anti-bok).
MAN OVERBOARD
devil-tear has just busted.
He returned from the break with 19,000 (19 bigs) & his exit was a rather cruel BvB affair. He made it 2.5x with A-J & got looked up, & they saw this flop....
J-3-3
Looks a good flop for A-J, but it don't play so good against 6-3.
I first met Perizoma at the WSOP this year, & was a little surprised to see he was a man, as his first name is Nicola, but he hails from Portugal I believe. Full set of dreadlocks, & extremely polite. Think he now lives either in Manchester, or somewhere else.
He won a Man Event package with Sky Poker this year, & he impressed me as a real nice guy. Not too many have won a full VLV Main Event package AND a Punta Cana package in the same year, I fancy.
Anyway, as I approach his table just now, I see him raise, then gets insta-shoved on - Villain 25 Bigs or thereabouts.
Nicola calls very quickly & tables Q-Q, villain sheepishly flips over a rather modest & optimistic 2-2. Yes please.
It runs out safely, & he catapults up to 75,000.
The last level of the day has now commenced, blinds are 600-1,200/200.
Adam Bromley 38,000
Natterley Bromley 81,000
PokerKinga 75,000
Munchkin00 73,000
Perizoma 65,000
BigBob the Plopper 60,000
Am doing my level best not to bok anyone, but with just 35 minutes or so remaining today (clock says 40 mins, but they stop x hands early), this looks like being one of Sky Poker's better days. We already have 3 through from yesterday, so a decent Day 2 & beyond is in prospect.
Day 1B play has now ceased, & they are bagging up.
Most stacks are similar to the previous update, EXCEPT Perizoma, who has been on the tear & now has circa 160,000.
So that concludes a remarkably successful day, one way & another.
Play re-commences at 3pm tomorrow (Friday), or to be more correct, later today, as it is now 1.10am.
If I can get confirmation of closing stacks I will, if not, we'll do them before play later.
Night all.
BigBob57 29,900.
He found A-K suited just before close of play, & lost a goodly few chips, bit 30,000 is ok, should be about 20 Bigs.
Munckin00 - 57,100
Adam Bromley 42,000
Natterley Bromley 61,500
PokerKinga 56,000
Perizoma 144,300
Apologies if I have missed anyone, but it's well past my bedtime.
That's it, I'm outa here, we'll be back in plenty of time for the 3pm (7pm UK) re-start.
Been a great day. Same again tomorrow, please.
good luck bb33
ps as you're a greengrocer, wait patiently until the time is right, then squash them.
