See you Monday
Hope the flight is pleasant & relaxing.
I'll be in the Media Centre which is at the very end of the Rio corridor, next to the Payout Room & right opposite the Amazon Room.
I might take a break around the Dinner Break period, around 5pm to 7pm, but that apart I plan to be there from 9am until play ends at Midnight.
It was 737, then 747, maybe 757, 767, 777, or even 787.
What links all those numbers?
Look forward to seeing you on Monday, Phil, bon voyage.
We've all had painful bubbles, its the nature of the beast. When it reduces a man to tears though it's not a pretty sight.
It hurt, of course it did, but a real man would never let it show. IMO, of course."
90 minute dinner break is an hour away, so I'm gonna go get some eats before it gets too busy, and an hour's kip, then I'll be back & we'll go through until the end of play, which will be around 8am UK time.
If you want to request any photos or chip counts, post them up & I'll do what I can, assuming I can find the player.
A 1 hour kip, allowing for inflation, VAT, Resort Fee & taxes appears to amount to nearly 3 hours.
In Vicky Coren's superbly written "For Richer or Poorer" she describes how she played at the Final Table of the EPT London, which she of course won.
On the rail were many of her closest friends & mentors, including, of course, Neil Channing, all of whom were rooting for Vicky every inch of the way.
At one point, Vicky used some (perfectly acceptable) table chat, to help get her hand through.
Vicky wrote;
"Neil "Bad Beat" Channing called me over & said I talk too much".
He's got some once a week, that Ambo.
It's generally good talk though, when Neil talks.
I was with him yesterday, & somehow the convo turned to today's renewal of the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.
"Barney Roy to win the Eclipse, Neil?"
"Not for me Tony, I think Ulysses will just edge it".
I was unable to bet as I cannot access my UK betting accounts from here, so I was half-pleased & half-mortified to read today that Ulysses won it - by a nose from Barney Roy.
Attire, as requested by Tom.
The two scruffy sorts are Sam, who is, effectively, Head of Poker (white plimsolls) & Mark, the Marketing Guru, the chap who was recently accused of "not giving any thought" to the Sky Poker Promos, in the red plimsolls.

And yes, those numbers - 737, 747, 757, 767, 777 & 787 were all Boeing Aircraft Models.
I do hope you & dearest Mrs Tom have a comfortable and relaxing flight.
As level 4 ends, leaving 1 level remaining today;
Sam Grafton - 180,000
Barny Boatman - 190,000
Patrick Leonard - 77,000
Matt Ashton - 77,000
Mark Telscher's sister - 50,000
Steve Warburton - 28,000
Rumours circulating to the effect that there were 795 entrants today.
If true, that'd be the biggest Day 1a for the Main for some years.
Just setting off now on the trek to join you all.
Cya on the other side.
NO MORE SLEEPS
See you tomorrow or Monday.
The mind is willing, but the flesh is weak.....
An hour of play remains, but my fuel gauge is on red, so with no Sky Poker players playing today - but at least 4 tomorrow - I'm gonna draw stumps for the night, so that I have enough energy for tomorrow's 15 hour stint.
Hope you have mildly enjoyed some of todays irreverent waffle.
Night all.
