Dog Bloke (RSPCA12) has a most satisfactory 450,000, & is on the same table as Graham "StayOrGo" Carter who is also going along nicely with 370,000.

Life without latte is OK, it had to be done, & I'm about to have my standard diet dinner, 2 Ryvitas with Philly low fat cheese, followed by an apple. Exciting. Not.

Wish them both luck from me please.

The people who think/moan about online poker being rigged should read updates like these. It's just poker, live or online these beats happen. 

Best of luck to all who are left in. I'm personally rooting for Andrew Garland but would be great to see any Sky reg take it down.

THIS Well said Waller

Tikay10

Something of an altercation is going off on one of the tables, & Sinclair - BIG Sinclair, Bouncer Extraordinaire - had to be called across to settle things down.
 
Seat 3 had playfully nudged Seat 2, &, well you know how it is, sometimes when you are running bad & have got a cob on or whatever it gets misinterpreted. 

Anyway, Seat 3 says it was just in fun, & seat 2 says "you can't touch me". 

Seat 3 says "leave it out, it was just a nudge", & seat 2 repeats himself, "you can't touch me, you can't touch me".

Not sure, but I think he is currently sitting at a cash table. I'll go check in a bit.

With just over 150 remaining - half of the Day 2 field has busted already - we are now approaching the meat of this one, where it gets interesting. With more room to patrol the Tables, I can more easily get chip counts, too, so a batch will follow imminently ish.

I'm sorry to say she bust just before the end of Day One, though I heard she lost to a royal flush, of all things.

FIRE ALARM - BUILDING EVACUATED

FIRE ALARM - BUILDING EVACUATED
Posted by Tikay10

Is that due to someone being on a heater??

Darkangel7

Who burnt the Sunday dinner and the puddings? Can't blame rose as she's at  home.  All joking aside though I hope it's nothing to worry about and everyone is ok. 

aussie09

trouble ahead... this is the live version of playing "away" players.

Good luck with getting someone to leave aces just because they're burning to death.

We have now been re-admitted to the building.

Tikay10

The Tournament was originally suspended until 6.40pm, but I fancy it may be a while longer before it re-starts.

Hundreds of people decamped to Nandos, & others drove elsewhere, as it was so cold standing in the Car Park.     

Tikay10

Tournament now expected to resume "around 7pm".

ShaunyT

what happens to the hands that were being played at thetime of the fire alarm?

Tikay10

Some interesting potential "Ask the TD" situations here.

Presumably, the Tournament cannot re-start until every player returns to the building.

But how long should they wait if 1 or 2 players do not return?

(Question is hypothetical)

Posted by ShaunyT

As far as I am aware - we are all ushered out quickly - the Tournament was suspended "with immediate effect", so hands in mid-play would have been suspended at that exact moment.

Those hands cannot really be continued with, I suspect, as it is possible the deck or hole cards could have been seen, or interfered with whilst most people were out of the building.

Good question Shauny, & with poker players being particularly argumentative by nature, or so it seems to me, it could get interesting.
