Live Update - Main, Day 3, Droplet, Day 1C
Good morning all.
I'm not sure if it's Sunday or Tuesday, morning or afternoon, coming or going, all these Day 3's & C's, but lets try & see where we are.
Comments
It's currently 10.30am Vegas.
MAIN EVENT, Day 3
Play starts an hour later than originally scheduled, as play has finished later than anticipated on the earlier days.
Play will commence at Noon Vegas (8pm UK). Play will continue until around 2am Vegas, or 10am UK. Clear as mud, eh?
It is now expected that with 2,186 remaining, & 1,011 paid, the money bubble will arrive in Level 14, which is the first level after today's Dinner Break. That'll be around 9pm Vegas, or 5am UK.
Good luck Mr Ambo, who is certainly in with a good shot at cashing. He has 68,000, blinds are currently 1,000-2,000/300 for another 1 hour & 10 minutes, then they go 1,200-2,400/400.
So right now, he is playing around 34 Bigs (excluding antes). It costs 5,700 per orbit in the current level, rising to 7,200 per orbit in the next level.
He cant - & knowing him, wont - try to sleep into the money, but a pot or two will do very nicely.
Good luck him.
Little One Drop, aka Droplet
Play for the third opening flight - Day 1C - commences sat 3pm Vegas (11pm UK).
They will play 10 x 1 hour levels, with a 20 minute break after every 2 levels. So that means play will end around 2.20am Vegas (10.20am UK).
I'll try & work out which of our players is due to play Day 1C next. Bear with me, this may take a little while.....
Meanwhile, Dan - TV Dan - will be recording the Daily Video Update at around 11.30am (7.30pm UK), as with play starting later, Mr Ambo wont be across until then, as we don't want him standing around for 2 or 3 hours before he plays the Main Day 3 at Noon.
Allowing for the time it takes to edit the Daily Update (Dan edits the videos here, then sends them across to the Office for dissemination) the Daily Update may not go up today, or it may be very late at best.
and the best of luck to all the players left in the droplet.

I'd like to take a moment to mention Dan - Sky Poker Dan, who runs & produces the Sky Sports TV Show, & Sky Poker TV generally.
Today is Dan's last day here in Vegas, he goes home tomorrow.
Whilst here, he has organised, filmed, edited & sent back these videos:
Danny Negreanu
Liv Boeree
Jason Mercier
Roland de Wolfe (still to be edited)
Shane Warne
Teddy Sheringham
John Arne Riise
In addition, today will be the 7th Daily Video Update. These ones may sound relatively easy, but getting Mr Ambo & I readied & prepped & in the right place at the right time is harder than you may think. He does the initial research for each one, too, Ambo & I just add the "colour".
He also recorded a short video for internal use only, to send back to the Office. (Filming all the qualifiers together).
All (or almost all) the photos you see from us in Vegas are taken by Dan, too.
This is Dan's 5th or 6th trip to Vegas, & he has been with Sky Poker, at a guess, 7 or 8 years, starting as a lowly "runner", fetching cups of tea, carrying the kit, & worked his way up to Head Honcho of the TV side.
He is a perfect pain to work for sometimes - he wants everything just so - & I could have slapped him in the chops a few days ago when he insisted we record the Danny N interview at 2am, after we had both been working non-stop since 8am. But we got the interview, & it was exactly what we wanted.
Hard to think of a more dedicated & hard working bloke, & SB&G, & Sky Poker, should be proud of him. They are certainly very lucky to have chaps like him.
I hope you have enjoyed his work.
I think this is today's line-up, but I await confirmation from Sam. As soon as he gets out of bed, I'll confirm. Play does not start for 3 hours yet, so plenty of time to sort.

I'll update my little "Player List", as we have an extra runner.
Sam is going to take over the tip tapping for a while, whilst I take a few hours break, so if he can be trusted to do it properly, he should use my Player List (Copyright pending).
