Oh well, maybe we spoke a tad too soon.
Just been given table draw and Wayne & Orford are on the same table as...
.... Praz Bansi!
Ooops!
HOWEVER...
... Orford has him directly to his right, thus having position on him.
Rich will crush him.
Come on Orford!
Play begins at 2pm.
Another complication to the seating on what is now officially 'Table Orford'
When Wayne is on the button, the Big Blind is Praz.
Good luck stealing that blind!
The thing is, I reckon when Praz sees that there are two TSP players on his table, he will quiver with fear.... ... we can wish!
Music today in the casino has included:
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
Madness - Our House
Dizzy Rascal - Holiday
So far, OK.
Dave - any chance you can nip down to PC World and get a Quad Core Processer, 24 inch screen, and 8mb of RAM for him?
Does that make Tikay a ZX81?
How many start day2?
When does day2 finish?
How many do you think will be left for day3?
Players are getting ready, opening their sealed bags of chips.
Good news for Rich and Wayne - Praz not arrived yet.
'SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL!'
We've uploaded some more photo's here including the picture above.
Those chips next to Rich belong to Praz, soon they will be Rich's.
Meanwhile, Rich is praying that Praz's alarm clock has broke!
Afternoon all.
How well did the boys do yesterday?
Here's the overnight chip counts - a terrific performance by our lads.

The player to the right of Orford has just been bust.
That means that when Wayne is on the button, Orford is the BB and Praz (still away) is SB.
Free chips!
Just like to add that every single Sky Poker player here yesterday - the TSP boys, the Qualifiers, & those playing on their own money - did us proud yesterday, & conducted themselves impeccably.
UL to those who never got through, & good vibes to run good today go to Ben, Ryan, Wayne, Darren, & not least, the man who made me so proud yesterday with his gritty patience & determination whilst under great pressure, Rich Orford.
Go get 'em lads. You know you can.
I'm doing tonight's Show, & hope to do a few 'phone calls to our heroes in Walsall. I'll have this page open whilst in the Studio, so keep me updated please!
Folds round to Wayne on the button.
He attacks the absent SB (Praz) and Orford's BB.
Orford defends with a shove. Wayne folds, so Orford picks up 2-3k more chips.
Guys, I need to clear up a slight misunderstanding.
I have just read the last few pages of yesterday's Update, & lots of people thanked me for the excellent Updates.
I'm a little uncomfortable with that. In fact, TWO of us were Updating, being Mr Milner (aka HOPPY), & myself, but to save keep logging in & out, all of it was Posted on my account.
So a big up to Rich Milner, too. He is doing it "solo" today, so good luck him.
Only fair to point out that of the 130 Posts in my name yesterday, I only Posted 128 of them, & HOPPY posted the other two. Fair's fair, eh?
btw, why is Rich known as hoppy please?
