2nd break is imminent, so I may have an update shortly.
According to the plasma screens, 1413 entered, & only 387 remain.
I'm guessing around 212 will be paid.
Go Dog Bloke.
First break;
Chis has 23,500, blinds will be 400-800/100 when he returns, so that's about 30 Bigs.
In this Event, 30 Bigs is HUGE
Chris thinks this Comp will reach the money in the next 2 hours.
Talking of "popular" players, Chris Ferguson could be on for his 15th(!) cash of the series which would see him take the lead in the Player of the Year standings.
360 left, & the average stack is 19,625.
Play has yet to resume, the break has been extended, though it's unclear why. (Colouring up?).
The "Break" clock is currently stopped with 4 minutes and 50 seconds remaining, & has been like that for 10 minutes now.
Meanwhile, Chris has gone for a wee. PokerNews don't give you that depth of info.
Clock still frozen, so the break continues.
I'd best go take a look.
The room remains locked, even accredited Media can't get in.
Huge crowd of players milling around in the corridor unable to access the Amazon Room.
All very odd.
The "break clock" has restarted & is running down now.
Chis has moved to Table Tan 71, not that helps anyone....
Play has resumed.
Just 354 remain now, & the average is stated to be 19,958.
Long time since I was last called a "boy".
Love that Chris fella, love him.
324 left
Chris has 20,000, so will need to get a move on soon.
Average is now 24,531, with 288 left. (212 paid)
The reason for the elongated break has emerged, & it is a real weird one.
In the same room, the late stages (last 3 tables or so) of the 888 thing is taking place.
I don't know how many chips are in play - millions, for sure - but all the players have big stacks, obv.
Apparently, on one of the three tables, the Dealer became unwell - he had a seizure I'm reliably informed - & in doing so, he sort of fell on the table & all the players stacks got mixed up, & lots of chips got knocked onto the floor.
So trying to sort those chips it is something of a nightmare.
The WSOP "Floor" have kept all the players nice & calm, & seem to be sorting it as best they can.
Not sure I've ever heard of such a problem before.
Most importantly, of course, hope the Dealer soon recovers.
Stood at Chris's Table, I hear the familiar voice of Will Kassouf talking nineteen to the dozen, as per.
I wander across to take a look.
Will is in the Small Blind, & it has been folded round.
Will raises.
"I've got a big hand, I've got a big hand" he endlessly repeats.
The Big Blind is having none of it.
ALL-IN he asserts with great confidence, pushing a pretty decent stack across the line.
Will snaps, "I've got a big hand, I warned you, I've got a big hand. CALL".
Big Blind is loving life, he has the Queens.
Will turns over.....KINGS
"No scares on the flop please Dealer" Will says.
First card King.
Meanwhile, bad news.
Chris gets it all in with A-K v Villain's A-Q the perfect coup. Until a Queen turned.
