    GSmith

    37,000

    As you can see, he has taken a bit of a hit in what was a really peculiar affair - details coming up next.

    The GSmith hand that went wrong.

    Fella who has made some eccentric plays shoved 10,000, which was 25 Bigs. (He had A-9).

    Smith called with Ah-Qh.

    All good so far then.

    But then the geezer behind flats too. (He had, somewhat optimistically, Kh-Jh).
     
    Flop came K high, we check here & K-J man bets out, & we have to fold, obv.
     
    The Turn was an Ace, and the River was another Ace......

    Ouchio.

    Still, with Blinds now 250-500/75, that's about 75 Bigs, which is just fine.

    Late arrivals at Table GSmith include;

    Scott Seiver

    Nick Schulman.

    I'll go take a wander & see if I can see what's what with Tedson & Jigga.

    Whilst I'm away, talk amongst yourselves please.

    Jigga

    Unchanged at 26,000 or so.
  • edited July 2017

    Table Tedson has broken.

    Which is fine, except I now have no idea where his new table is.

    Just the 150 or so tables to choose from then.


    Just fight a little longer my friend
    It's all worth it in the end
    But when you got nobody to turn to
    Just hold on, and I'll find you
    I'll find you
    I'll find you
    Just hold on, and I'll find you

    Yay, found Tedson.

    Down to 21,000, the cards have been cruel for him today, but a table change often brings  change of fortune.
     
    Keep on playing bro, keep on playing.

    Today's entries were a surprisingly high 2,164 (1773 last year I think), bringing the 2 flight total to just shy of 3,000.

    It might yet make 7,000 when the dust from tomorrow's carnage settles.

    Good morning fella. You will be relieved to know that news of your mid session break has been received well by Dr Kelly. I know how big that area is that you have to cover, especially when a table breaks. Please be sensible.

    Play will end at around 11.40 pm tonight (0740 UK), but all Media are barred from the room for the last 10 or 15 minutes of play.

    So, when we are 30 minutes from close of play, I'll go get latest chip counts of the Fab Four & post them here.
     
    That'll enable me to beat the throng up the Rio Corridor & be able to get a sandwich. When play ends and 1,500 players all exit & head up that corridor at the same time, it's a nightmare. A nightmare, I tell ya.

    Ha, thank you Mike.

    All joking aside, Sky Poker, & Sam in particular, have been very understanding & caring, & insist I take plenty of rest.
     
    Gill gets awfully worried if I work too lo ng, too, so I sometimes have to tell her little porkies. I cross my fingers first though, so that's OK.  
     
  • edited July 2017

    So, 24 minutes play remains, & here's the Chip Counts for our valiant crew;

    Jigga - 11,400

    Tedson - 44,000

    GSmith - 45,000

    Bogga - 96,000

    Think that's a really good effort by all 4 of them, & I hope you'll all agree & show them some appreciation.
  • edited July 2017
    After 3 trains 2 planes a couple of buses and a long drive trying to find the hotel car park I have finally made it. With passport in tow! 

    Have not read the updates yet but hope you are all doing well!

    Will drop by and see you tomorrow afternoon if that is okay Tikay?
  • edited July 2017

    So that's it for today, it's goodnight from me, & goodnight from them.

    Night all.

    Absolutely. Assuming all four have made it through the dregs of the day, to have all 4 players survive 10 hours of poker is no mean feat. Well done all and look forward to seeing who you will draw on Day 2B (the players from each of the starting flights are kept separated on Day 2 for some reason)

    Great effort from all, including our non playing, but much appreciated, roving reporter.
    Keep up the good work

    Looks like you counted them all out, and counted them all back in again. Well done all four and good luck to any players playing Day1C. Best of luck also trying to report on those playing amongst the thousands and thousands that will be there ;)
