A very good morning to you all from Las Vegas where, at 11am, the temperature is already 38C.
Today sees Day 2 of the Droplet ($1,111 Little One Drop) & we have TEN Sky Poker players who are still in, including Sky Poker Ambo Neil Channing.
769 players remain, & 654 will be paid, so the money bubble will soon be reached.
Play starts at 2pm Vegas (10pm UK).
Sky Poker aliases, chip counts & table/seat draws will follow shortly.

I don't know the exact average, as not every player started with 10,000 chips, but 786 remain from 4,360 entrants, so it should be somewhere around 57,000.
With blinds 500-1,000/100, going to 600-1,200/200 in Level 11, I would think most of them could cash if they chose to play defensively, & if they go for the win, I'd still expect most of them to cash, as they have playable stacks relative to the blinds.
Should be a fun day.
Ugh, sorry.
I've edited the player list now.
GL GL.
I've had to edit the thread title now.
As it happens, "Ten to Follow" works better - it's a great phrase for SEO.
I got a little lucky, amongst my selections I included a filly named "Three Troikas", who absolutely swept the board in French Group races that year, including the Vermaille, Harcourt & The Arc.
Remarkably, Alex Head (the dad) purchased her, Ghislaine (the wife) owned her, Criquette (the daughter) trained her & Freddy (the son) rode her. Quite extraordinary, & something I doubt will ever happen again at the pinnacle of horse racing.
That final day 1/3 shot getting turned over is exactly the bit of luck we need to win these things.
Your post has reminded me that you asked me a question 3 or 4 days ago, & I forgot to reply. Will get on it shortly.
Sam is over at Palazzo, & is responsible for getting the players across to The Rio in time. I've reminded him 27 times that it starts at 2pm.
As you were.
The first of our Droplet Day 2 players has arrived - Mattprawn.
He came across from Palazzo on his own, as he said he did not trust Sam to organise things properly & did not want to be late.
Very wise, imo.
I played for around a month, & had a wonderful time, so I can't complain. I also had to go cap in hand to Sam & the Suits to ask if I could play the WSOP PLO8 $3,000, as that crossed with my "work dates". They were fine with that, & then that got extended by a day, as I made day 2, so I can't really take liberties & play any more. I've not even played a cash session since then, despite being sorely tempted.
It's not a problem any more - the cash games here have all finished now.
It's all good, but I have to admit, I'm itching to be playing, "snapping" the cards, handling real chips. It's the best.
Melty, Dog Bloke & Timmy have all arrived, as has Ambo.
No sign of Sam. He probably thinks it starts at 3pm.
