In Response to Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Two : I'll own up to being the one tweeting about how sadly short some of my relationships have been!  That fire alarm must have been horrible for the players but an even worse logistical nightmare for those running the tournament (and reporting on it).  The updates have been really interesting.  Thanks.

I thought it was very good.

It certainly did create a few headaches for he Club, but such as they could, they handled it very well.
 
I'm not sure I can ever recall a Live MTT being suspended due to a Fire Alarm evacuation.
 
I do recall having to scarper from an illegal spieler in Bergen, Norway, (Live poker is banned in Norway) when the police suddenly arrived outside the building in great numbers, & we abandoned chips, cash & all sorts in the panic, as we did not fancy being arrested. As it happens, it was a false alarm, & the police were simply on escort duty for King Harald V of Norway, who was visiting a Warship in the adjacent Bergen Harbour.

That fire alarm would have been better going off at 1.30 am,to keep the players awake! Has anyone ever fallen asleep in a tourney?

Guy on my final table fell asleep at about 10:30pm last night.

Just kept waking up, jamming all in, then going back to sleep for a couple of orbits.

Didn't even bother stacking his chips. Assume that would waste valuable napping time!

DontTelMum eventually exited in 63rd place.

An hour earlier, his A-K v A-J coup would have given him over a million chips. Such is poker, & it played itself.
 
I believe he won his seat in the Sky Poker last chance "draw", so it's not all bad.

Think the last level of today - still 40 minutes distant - might be train wreck territory. The shorter stacks may well decide to spin up or bust rather than return tomorrow for what may well be another long day.

I'm currently drifting in & out of consciousness playing the £1k bounty hunter. It seems to have improved my play immensely. Might try it again.

And in better news, Redmond (Lolufold), who I reported earlier was MIA, is in fact still in, he has hiding under a giant hoodie. He has around 350k. Matt Percival has staged something of a miraculous recovery, too, he was on around 100k during that ever-lasting bubble, but has 350k or so now I believe.
Posted by Tikay10

Not any more, he is deffo MIA this time, & finished a highly creditable 70th.

Sadly not, a quick scout of the 6 tables & there as no sign of him.

Looks like Matt Percival bowed out in 64th.

Just, he's not in great shape, maybe 10 or 12 Bigs, but he'll not blind away, for sure.

Tikay10

Looks like Joesman1 has perished in the last level carnage.

35 left.

Tikay10

UTG opens with a min raise to 80k, StayOrGo in the BB jams for around 380k more, raiser dwell folds.

Tikay10

That's it for today, play ends with 35 remaining, & resumes at 1pm this afternoon.

Well done Tikay and Tighty and good luck tomorrow to any Sky players still involved. 

Tikay10

News reaches me that on the very last hand of the day, Mohican tangled with the big chip leader, & it ended badly for the ex Chippie, as Mohican had the quads.

Mohican - 5.7 milly.

oioi, prepare the Mohican Railing Crew.
