Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
We have a whole bunch of players in this today, far too many to Update too frequently until the field thins a bit.
Play began at 3PM, & McBok has already go some chip counts, so whilst I'm typing up our list of runners & riders, McBok will stick up the chip counts.

Starting stacks are 10k.
I have surfed around the Miranda and some of the early chip counts are as follows...
Essexphil - 9k
TommyD - Around starting stack
Pomfrittes - 11k
Greggster - 10k
CPFC - 11k
The biggest mover I have come across thus far is perhaps unsurprisingly... Mr Bates who is sitting on around 16k. He called a raise preflop with his QTo and the flop was XQA. His opponent bet 2500 and Matt called and seen a lovely Q on the turn. The river ace made things a little difficult, especially when his opponent bet 2500 again but Matt correctly tank called and his opponent had a missed J9o. Excellent start!
I will now have a look around the Pavillion and try and get a few more chip counts.
If anyone wants news on a particular player just let me know and I will try to accommodate.
Man Overboard
Alvez11 - OUTO
Man On Board
Alvez11 has re-entered.
A couple of stacks to report...
RSPCA12 - 9k
Neil Channing - 10,325
As Tikay says, Alvez has bust and re-entered. He 3 bet with KK preflop and got 1 customer. The flop came down AXX and it went check-check. His opponent makes a bet on the X turn and Alvez calls. One the river his opponent bets out for 1500. Alvez, sensing weakness, jams all in hoping to fold out a lot of potentially weak hands in the opponents range. Opponent tank/calls with AK and unfortunately it is GG Alvez.
GL with the re-entry!

TommyD raises it up with A-Q.
He gets called by the table loose goose. (Villain has 5s-6s)
Flop is A-Q-3, with 2 spades.
Turn - 5
River - 5
Proper ugly one that.
Tommy, now Busto, is heading toward the nearest bar I would imagine.
Matt Bates - 13k
Essexphil - 8.2k
Pomfrittes - 7.3k
CPFC - 14.6k
Neil Channing - still around 10k
RSPCA12 - 7.3k
Managed to get a couple of pics which I think Tikay may post.
P.S. Alvez has had a change of heart and has decided to play an MTT down at the Venetian instead of re-entering.
Unfortunately we have another faller in 25caliber, GG.
We are currently 18 minutes into level 3 with blinds at 75/150 with a 25 ante.

Was outside getting a breather and Mr Negreanu walked past en route to his trailer. Apparently he plans to get rather aggro in the Little One. I guess he could have been headed back to the trailer to pick up a chunk of re-entry funds?
Will go a wander and see if I can get a few more stack updates.
I'm going to leave Mark in charge for a couple of hours whilst I go recharge my batteries. I fear we won't have a single player left by the time I return.
McBok gonna McBok.
He seemed to thoroughly enjoy his time in Vegas and at the WSOP.
As I was typing this both Neil Channing and Pomfrittes have came into the media room to report their exits.
Pomfrittes with around 5k took a flip on with ATo. He had 3 bet to 2k preflop but someone put him all in with 22 and the deuces held.
Neil Channing found AK and with a raise to 600 and a flat call he made it 2100 preflop. His opponent went set mining, calling the 1500 extra. Neil with 9k behind was very happy to see an A6X flop and bet the flop, ending up getting it all in. His opponent had about the only realistic hand that Neil could be behind to, pocket 6s.
There was an ace on the turn but the flopped set, now 6s full of aces held up and sent Neil to the rail.
Tough one Neil, unlucky!
Mattbates is up to circa 27k and cpfc_2010 is on a real tare, up to 45k after someone 4 bet jammed pocket 9s preflop into his AA. The aces held and gave cpfc a decent amount of chips to count out.
Essexphil is also making some headway. He was not finding much material to do his thing with but when I arrived at his table he was clawing a nice pot in and is now sat on 13k, Go Phil!
Enut - 11k
RSPCA12 - up from 4.5k to 6.6k
Donttelmum - 9k
TimmyRaRa - 10.5k
GoneDoggin - 14k
AlanCarr12 - 8.5k
Daniel Negreanu is living up to his word regarding the aggro approach to the Little One. I bumped into him again in the halls and he said he was on his way to rebuy again.
I will give the players a visit and get some more updates after they have had their break.
Matt Bates is down to around 3.5k. Proof that live poker is rigged?
nickd49931 is up to 42k!
Sad news in the last half hour we have lost both Essexphil and Enut.
Both players seem to have had their premium hands cursed...
Essexphil ran QQ into KK and then with the 3500 he had left found QQ yet again in the first hand after the break. An opponent in the SB called Phil's UTG shove with their KJo and managed to hit a king on the river to bust Phil's QQ.
Really unlucky Phil!
It was a similar story for Enut. Sitting with around 9k a player in early position opened, another 3 bet to 1800, and Enut raised to 3,000 and got 1 caller. The flop came down J52 and Enut got it all in on the rather promising looking flop. Unfortunately his opponent flipped over the pocket jacks.
Running a flush into a straight flush to lose most of his stack and then losing TT v QK with the dregs.
Before my bokking abilities are blamed...
I visited TimmyRaRa and he was involved in a big pot. AA versus KK all in with Timmy holding the aces, and they held. That puts Timmy on around 40k.
cpfc_2010 in his own words is 'doing okay' - sat with 'just the 53k' (over 5 times the starting stack).
Evening all, just back from my brief soujorn.
I see Jock McBok has been at the very peak of his powers.
Nonetheless, I'm grateful to him for his help. H's a really good guy as Scots go.
Especially sad to see the exits of Pommy & Tuney, as I never saw as much of them here in Vegas as I had hoped. Both are thoroughly splendid gentleman, up to a point.
Blinds now during level 6 are 200-400 with a 50 ante.
