Monday night saw another Quarter Final, and FIVE more players booked their Seat in Sunday's Semi-Final, so there are now 11 with seats booked for Sunday night.
Another bumper Quarter Final last night - 101 runners, generating 10 more Qualifiers for the Monthly Final on Sunday April 4th.
So there are now TWENTY in this Sunday's Semi-Final, & one in 10 of those will go through to the Final. Those with keen eyes & memory will spot that there were 11 qualifiers BEFORE last night, but only 20 now. Where did the other one go? No idea, but "CALSO" seems to have disappeared from the list. Maybe I messed up the C & P?
Ignore my previous ramblings - CALSO IS in, so there are 21 qualified so far for Sunday.
Another bumper Quarter-Final last night - 121 runners - means TWELVE more go through to Sunday's Semi-Final.
And what a Semi-Final that looks like being already, 42 runners so far, with 2 more Quarters still to go, three if they run one on Sunday before the Semi, which is scheduled for a 9pm start.
Good to see so many long-term Sky Poker players in the mix too.
Vegas, Baby.

So, as of NOW, there will be a guaranteed TEN players in the first Viva Las Vegas Final on Sunday 4th April.
At current rates, there is a chance that it could make 2 seats, & at the very worst, it will be almost 2 seats, so a £10k package, & a bumper lump of cash for 2nd.
There will also be two more VLV Finals after that, one for April, one for May.
Dan Brown, of course, is "on the 'plane" already.
The party gathers pace.
I'm not actually sure (= I don't know), but we could try to have an educated guess!
The MARCH Final will be Sunday 4th April. (Next weekend).
The APRIL Final - this is just my guess - will be on Sunday 2nd May.
The MAY Final would probably be Sunday 6th of June, though with the Vegas WSOP ME less than a month after that, & the need for players to make plans, etc, & for Flights & Hotels to be booked, it MIGHT be the previous Sunday, 30th May.
If & when I hear the exact dates, I'll let you know.
You are trying to qualify for it, I assume? Good Luck, it'd be wonderful to have you out there.
By coincidence, I spoke to Will Brewin earlier this week, on the telephone.
He is currently having a little break from Online Poker, hardly playing Online, but playing a lot of Live Events, both Tourneys & Cash, & in fact, lJAMESl bumped into him at one of the GUKPT Events.
He remains very warm to Sky Poker, & although he has to speak for himself, I think he hopes to qualify for Vegas again on Sky Poker. It would be something else, at his tender age, to notch up a hat trick of Qualifying & Cashing in the WSOP Biggie via Sky Poker.
I don't think it's his intention to fork out the $10,000 in cash - few pros do or would, qualifying is the preferred route. So whether he qualifies on Sky Poker, or elsewhere remains to be seen, but I think there is a desire by him to try & go for the Hat-Trick.
Nice to know he's doing ok. Without wishing to detract from the skills and play of any of the guys and girls trying to qualify for this years adventure [good luck all btw],it would lend a certain kind of magic to the whole proceedings if he were to do it again under the Sky Poker banner and cash, if not possibly final table this time round.
If he does qualify this again this year I might just get the wallet out and have a little flutter on him cashing again!
The Team Sky Poker guys & gals will have a ball, either way, I promise, & so will the folks back home, via Live Updates & photos & stuff, but if Will were in the Team, all the better.
I actually have a hunch that young Mr Dan Brown is going to go on to make quite a name for himself, & his presence in Vegas will enrich the Sky Poker Community no end, as he is, very much, "one of us", & he communicates well.
Sunday's Semi-Final now has FIFTY runners, with more still to come, & it's gonna be a tough field. Still, even now, there are FIVE Final Seats Guaranteed on Sunday, to add to the 6 already there, so that's 11, & maybe we are on our way to 20, & TWO Packages in the first of the three VLV Finals? Time will tell, but next Sundays Final wll deffo have at least 1 x £10k package, AND a BIG lump of cash for 2nd, even if not a second £10k package.
Here's tomorrow night's line-up so far.....

By the bye, as anyone who has played poker for a while would know, Super-Sats the world over, Live & Online, are occassionally the subject of collusion, or attempted collusion, at or around the seat bubble time.
If you suspect, or see, this, you MUST report this, direct to Customer Care. (Not on the Forum please, it's not the correct medium for that).
All complaints ARE investigated, & properly adjdicated, & sorted out, in as fair a way as possible.
And despite what you may read in places, reporting Collusion, Multi-Accounting, or any other form of non-compliance, is not "grassing" or "snitching" - it's every poker players duty.
Surprisingly - though it's a fact - many inexperienced players, of whom there are many on Sky Poker, do not realise that such practices are, shall we say, improper.
8.30pm, & there are 63 runners so far for tonight's Quarter-Final, with the Tourney starting at 9pm.
Could yet be another bumper field - 100, maybe?
5 mins to go - & 87 Reg'd!
Sure to top 90, maybe fall just short of the ton.
99!
So 9 seats, & a nice bunch of Cash for the Seat Bubble.
Good luck all 99.
After a corking 99 runner Quarter tonight, here's the new Line-Up for Sunday's Semi, 56 already, with one more Quarter-Final (FIVE PM Sunday) still to come.
These Super Six are already booked for the Final on Sunday 4th, & with two more Semi's still to come - it could yet make 2 x £10,000 packages, it sure wont be far short. 6 or more will join them tomorrow, then one more week of Quarters.
Good luck to all in this , ive seen daveyzz a few times and what a good player he is so think he has a good chance but best wishes to you all .im sadly working in russia between may and sept but next year i will get my vegas ticket .
Today's Quarter has just ended, 5 went through, & as of now, this is the line-up. 69 runners means 6 finalists & a nice chunk for 7th, but Direct Buy-Ins may yet get it up to 70, & thus 7seats.
There will be a Mini-Update on the Forum starting around 9.pm, maybe a little after.
Good Luck to every single player.
73 for tonight now , with 40 minutes to go - so 7 Final Seats guaranteed!
