Coxy has flopped middle set already (not paid) & he's well comfy. He seems to have an American (non-poker) Celeb on his Table, but we are not sure who. Might be either Dolly Parton, or Tom Cruise, hard to tell from a distance. Or it might be Sam Simon, creator of the Simpsons, & one time other half of Miss J Tilly.
Matthew seems unfazed by the whole thing, no "faces" on his Table that Thewy or I could recognize.
Scotty has a very tough table. Seat 5 (Scotty is Seat 1) is a British Hotpot, can't remember name, but am working on it, Big player, aggro.
But to his immediate left is a bit of a legend - George McCeever. Proper legend is George, once made a WSOP Main Event Final Table I think, VERY aggro, even though he must be 70 years old if he is a day old. I seem to recall he ran an amazing all streets bluff with air in a recent UKIPT, only to get called by Jake Cody with Q high!
More photos up on the photo gallery for you. A healthy mix of our lads (for the Sky Poker Community), pros (for the poker nerds out there, myself included!) and cuticles (for Tony).

Just interviewed Chris and Ryan at the first break, which will be on here shortly Both very happy and enjoying the first 2 hours. Tikay will send you their chip counts shortly Posted by Sky_Claire
All three are in the 27,000 - 30,000 range.
No dramas, no fuss, enjoying, & comfy.
Scotty lost a chunk holding Q-x on a 7-8-J-Q-Q board when Villain rivered the Boat, but he reckons he lost the minimum, & it's not bothered him.
Break time at the Rio, and here's what they had to say...
Ryan: "It's horrible in there." Coxy: "If you could video record a stack of chips turning in to a lamp post, that is my World Series so far." (LOL!) Matt: Not a lot. He's been dead quiet on the table and is just waiting for the right moment to claw those chips back.
Counts:
Ryan: 5.5k Coxy: 11.5k Matt: 17k.
When they come back, the Sky Poker players are going to hoover up chips, right?

Looked at all three of our boys Tables.

if not look on skypoker.com/wsop and its the second video on the player
Ryan: 10.5k
Matthew: 17k
Chris: 20k.
Ryan had a nasty hand where he lost about 10k from his stack on a Ks-Ts-2c-Kc-7d board. Ryan had AA vs his opponent's AK, and the play went like this:
Pre: Ryan opens to 500 from EP, SB reraises to 1350, Ryan 4bets to 2700, called.
Flop: KT2. Ryan flat calls a flop bet. (I believe this is right).
Turn is checked by both.
River he calls a bet of 5200 into a pot of around 11k.
Just got in from playing darts and caught up on the thread, Gl to the 3 guys playing, hopefully will start getting that bit of luck needed soon...
Come on Team sky poker.....
gl all ,
ty for updates .
Ryan: "It's horrible in there."
Coxy: "If you could video record a stack of chips turning in to a lamp post, that is my World Series so far." (LOL!)
Matt: Not a lot. He's been dead quiet on the table and is just waiting for the right moment to claw those chips back.
Counts:
Ryan: 5.5k
Coxy: 11.5k
Matt: 17k.

LET'S GO SKY!!!
UTG opens to 900, button calls. Ryan wakes up with KK in the SB and shoves for around 5300. UTG calls pretty quickly, button folds faster.
KK v AJ.
Ace on the flop is not a problem as the door card is a King.
SHIP!
Ryan up to 14k.
Matt on about 15k, Chris on 13k.
N1 scotty, now breathe. GL to all 3, but especially scotty and lol raise as they are in my dream team
Coxy and Matt can sit tighter and wait for some good spots to start building again.
Keep it going guys.
