good luck to the Sky players. Was reminiscing with Lyonsbob about last year during the Sheriff game last night. Best poker experience ever playing the main event, even if only short lived!
Anyhow, just checked in at the Palazzo, so excitement is building. Will hopefully pop down to the Rio to say hello and look forward to the welcome party in the evening.

oioi, Accountant Bloke is in town.
I wonder what an Accountant does when in Vegas for kicks?
Be great to see you Sir, & you of all people will ensure my excitement levels don't exceed their new oh-so-low threshold.
Dinner break is done & dusted, & we are 45 minutes into Level 4. Bizarre really, they started at 11am, it's turned 8pm now, & they are not halfway through Level 4 yet.
Comments
As we approach the end of level 2, & of course the day's second 20 minute break, all of our crew are going along nicely.
Jiggawhat - 45,000
Tedson - 43,000
GSmith13 - 53,000
Boggo - 67,000
You are not going to believe this, but......
Boggo is an AIRLINE PILOT.
He flies 777's for Cathay Pacific.
He's my hero.
Oooh, would love to be a pilot. Or a train driver. Or own a Car Park.
I never knew that, but I'm not in the least surprised.
I'm pretty fly for a white guy.
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh

Jiggawhat - 47,000
Tedson - 45,000
GSmith - 65,000
Boggo the Airline Pilot - flying high with 60,000
So, whilst I was away, Sam managed exactly TWO posts.
Sterling effort.

I'll go get some chip counts.
Chip counts incoming.
Before I put the chip count up, blinds are 200-400 with running ante of 50.
Case dismissed.
Jiggawhat - 25,600.
He seemed a bit down about how it had gone, but ignoring antes he still has 60 Bigs. Plenty.
Apologies for the blurry photo, Sam took it.
Reminder;

Tedson - 37,200. (90 Bigs excluding antes).
He had a bit of an accident when he chose a bad time to bluff, but otherwise he's going along just fine.
GSmith13 - 66,000
Just lost a big pot, but still in cruise mode with 66,000.
Boggo - 94,000
Boggo has avoided CAT (Clear Air Turbulence) & is going along on auto-pilot.
If you missed that extraordinary hand involving the ever popular Vanessa Selbst earlier, here it is.
Enjoy.

And if you thought that Vanesa Selbst hand was exciting, wait until you see - & hear - this.
It's a Cathay Pacific Boeing 777 during pushback & take off at Dusseldorf. Obv.

Level 4, the penultimate level of the day, has just ended.
Fingers crossed, but the boys generally pop into the Media centre at the break with chip counts.
Be right back.
Tedson & Jigga never came to the Media Centre during break, so I'll need to go get their stacks shortly.
Update on Bogga and GSmith incoming.
The last level of the day has just begun, so play will end at about 11.40pm (0740am UK).
Bogga
85,000.
Down from his earlier altitude of 94,000 after losing a couple of little coups, but it's important he keeps playing hands, so that's no problem.
