Some Brits have chipped up nicely early, including Tim Hickling who may well have the chip lead. Jeff Kimber, Julian Schultheis, Ho Lee, Niall Farrell, Paul Newey and Simon Deadman all above 70K.

Previous winners in action today include Huck Seed, Scotty Nguyen, Jamie Gold, Joe Cada, Jonathan Duhamel, Greg Merson, Ryan Riess, Martin Jacobsen and the regining Champ Joe McKeehan who had the honour of doing the introductory speech and the "Shuffle Up & Deal" at the start of proceedings. No doubt Mr Hellmuth will pop up sometime during late reg.

No news yet about the potential size of the Day 1C field


The BIG one for One Drop, the Million Dollar one, meanwhile has been re-invented and will be a million-euro extravaganza to be held in Monte Carlo in October with WSOP blessing, allegedly for recreational players on an invitational basis but with unlimited re-entries during the registration period and with professional players as coaches. Sky to take 45 qualifiers to this one?

Wonder if Shane would like our Spin Up tables? And in a curious coincidence, we are scheduled to interview both today, Shane during the 2nd break, & Danny during the dinner break, & the 2 of them are seated on the same table. The odds of that must be pretty high.

Careful Tikay, don't be encouraging him to play from Aus or Vegas!

Arrived!  Darn I hate flying, managed to get an aisle seat which I suspect was somehow a prank by Mr Bates bearing in mind how often the metal trolley veered into me.  Also I think the back of my seat owed the gentleman behind me money with the constant hand to plastic combat behind me.  Any hoop, here now, best of luck to Mr Ambo and NAME DELETED in the main.  Which room is this meet up in?  Looking forward to seeing people

Here's Mr Ambo's current stack, early in Level 3. The orange chips are 5,000 denom, the yellow 1,000, blue 100, & green 25.

Hospitality suite, 3rd floor, Palazzo. We usually have a "Sky Poker" sign up, or our name is on the Hospitality Suites board.

Think it starts around 8pm.
 
PS - congrats to Harry Kane on having such an outstanding Euro 16.

Hi Tikay

AMBO'S CHIP STACK COMPETITION STAB IN THE DARK:

As you know I'm a glass half full guy so I'm willing Neil towards 111,500 chips at close of play.  Surely he can't possibly end the day with any less than that?

;-)

EDIT @ 2.20 am - Just spotted my guess of 111k had already been done by someone else.  Sorry.  Have edited above to 111,500 - Don't let me down Neil, that's probably another big blind you need to steal near the end of the day please!

TommyD should be gratefull Kane bombed at the Euros, otherwise he could have been snatched up by bigger more successful clubs, like Leicester.

Jon Kalmar, aka Skalie, who finalled the WSOP main about 10 years ago.

......or Arsenal.

The man himself, Albert Sapiano.
 
He was down to 4,000 chips. Might be something to do with the fact he has played every single hand since the start. There are no 2 cards that Albert can't persuade himself to play. 2-3 off is the middle of his range.
 
Lovely bloke, lovely. He's the UK's biggest importer of honey, or so the story goes.

"Good for the game" as the saying goes.

You think Spurs would sell their best players and then squander that money on sub standard dross.  I can't see that happening, not in a month of Paulinhos.  Oh and my guess for Ambo stack, 99,900.  It's a number.

This very well turned out young man is Steve Warburton, a wolf in sheep's clothing if ever I saw one.

 Thanks for all the kind words. This level has been a bit dead for me. Hovered around 80k...did get to 85k earlier. Had to get the old 4-bet out the holster...obv I had it if IT is A10.

Mr Kendall,

Could you please confirm whether or not, you know who is playing poker on the biggest day of the year, wearing his T-shirt with the big hole in it?

HAYSIE

We wouldnt want any excuses at the close of play, like all my chips slipped through my T-shirt, now would we?
