6.30pm Vegas (02.30 UK).
Dan is still in.
He has 41,000, with Blinds at 1,000 - 2,000, RA 200.
There are now only 188 players left in.
Great stuff, this.
It's now 7pm Local (0300 UK), & the Players are on dinner break.
153 remain, with the current Guaranteed minimum Prize Money $3,230.
I don;t know if Dan is still in, but I think he is, as he's not been to see us.
It's tough to keep track of individual players, as they are spread around 4 Rooms (Amazon, Brasilia, Miranda, Tropicana) & each room is the size of a football pitch. There are 4 Tourneys running at the same time, plus untold numbers of Main Event Super-Satellites & Cash Games.
Go Dan!
You are not wrong, he IS still in!
19.50 hrs Vegas (0350 UK), I arrived at his Table, he had 41,000, with Blinds at 1,500 - 3,000.
As I got to the Table, Dan threw in a Raise, making it 9,000 to go.
It was Passed round to the Big Blind, who jammed for about 21,000 in Total - another 12,000 to Dan.
After a very short dwell, & a bit of a sigh, Dan made the Call.
Dan showed 6-6.
Big Blind showed K-8.
It's a flip, then....
The Board came.....
4-6-4-6-J.
Quads!
He now has 73,000.
137 are left, & the next Ladder Spot is 134, when it moves up from $3,200 to $3,600.
Team Sky Poker, including Annecka, are all Railing him.
Happy Days!
Next hand he Raised it up again - & everybody snap-passed!
He am croosing, innit.
8.15pm Vegas, (04.15 UK).
Dan has 55,000, with 15 minutes remaining at 1,500 - 3,000 (RA 200 I think). I asume the next Blind Level will be 2,000 - 4,000, with a 300 or 400 RA.
There are 126 left.
Remember, 2,80 began this Event. It's a stunning effort by Dan.
8.45pm Vegas (04.45 UK).
Sam Raised up on the Button, but a Medium Stack in the BB shoved on him.
Dan dwelt up, then Passed.
He had A-Ten, but said "I have not come this far to exit by Calling with A-Ten. I may well be ahead, but I'm happy with the Pass.
He's now in a spot of bother, with about 35,000, & Blinds at 2,000 4,000, soon to be 3,000 - 6,000.
There are 126 left.
His next move wil be a shove.
And in the previous Post, it SHOULD have said 2,830 played this Event.
Sorry, I have temporarily lost my "Edit" facility. And my brain.
And shove he did.
It was Passed round to Dan in the Small Blind, Dan had 33k or 34k.
This is an "any two cards" auto-shove, & so Dan moved in.
The Big Blind snap-Called - oops, this is bad.
The Big Blind showed A-8.
Dan had suited connectors - 10 of Clubs, 3 of Clubs. OK, OK, gapped Suited Connetors.
Board came 4-3-9-3-A.
Whahoo!
Dan up to 73,500, his high-point of the Tourney.
There are 117 left, & he has $3,616 locked up. The next Ladder is to $4,016, at 109 I think.
I think it jumps big at 99, $6,000 or so, will check & report back.
Blinds are now 2,000 - 4,000, with a RA of 500.
9.30 pm Vegas, 0530 UK.
Dan Raised it up with 3-3, but a shortie shoved on him, & he had to Call. Shortie had A-4, & hit.
But he nicked the Blinds twice.
He now has 73,000, & Blinds elevate to 3,000 - 6,000 (RA 500) in 8 minutes.
His Table just broke, & his new Table is full of super-deep stacks. Which is fine.
He now has $4,016 locked up.
Number of Players remaining.....
99
9.45 Vegas, 0545 UK.
They are on a short break now.
Dan has 63,000, Blinds will be 3k - 6k, (RA 500) when play restarts.
If the Blinds go through him twice more, it's shove-time, & what will be will be - Double-Up or Bust.
Fingers crossed. Whatever happens, he's done superbly, & let's remember, he was down to 1,100 at one Stage on Day One.
The next money ladder is at 90th place, when it goes to about $4,500.
Over 2,800 players started Day One.
Nearly 400 players returned for Day Two.
Players remaining now........
97
10.15pm Vegas, 0615 UK.
Bily Big Stack Raises it up, Dan shoves, Billy Big-Stack snap Calls. Oops.
Big Stack has A-K suited.
Dan has 7-7.
Q-J-2-9-J
Dan DOUBLES UP to about 110,000, his high-point of the Tourney.
Blinds are 3,000 - 6,000 (RA 500) for another 45 minutes.

10 minutes left at this Level, then it goes 4,000 - 8,000 with a 1,000 RA.

Dan now has just over $6,000 locked up.
The full Team Sky Poker are Railing him - Annicka, (spelling?), two of Dan's mates, Haysie, Adam, James, Jill, Dan, & Mother Hen.
Dan let go of 10-10 after it went Re-Raise, Re-Re-Raise behind him.
Then he Raised it up again, & got no business. Pity - he had K-K.
He has $7,400 locked up now.
Players remaining......
