Well its 3.19 am, and just when you think its all over, they carry on. The Vic was the place to go, Huck Seed cashed in quite an impressive stack of chips an hour ago and left with a big nice wave and four female players chaseing after his monica, all photos and kisses were duly obliged, nice to be a well known face...lol. Great guy though and i managed a quick chat, all to brief but, hey it was late.
On the UK front, Neil Channing is still there at the mo and is in no rush to get away by the looks of it. He must be having another one of thoses good nights.
The remarkable memory of tonight though will be the fact that all these guys are approachable in the right circumstances. Except for a certain Mr Ivey who looks far younger and fitter than his photos would suggest.......lucky b*****d.
I cant wait for a full days action tomorrow, and boy oh boy was this worth coming to.......oh yeah... take care and good night all, more from the bar tomorrow.....on the shorts the beers c**p. xxx
Day 3 is about to start!
Klick here for our news about Day 2.
128 players are left in the tournament and tonight there should only 24 of them be remaining. Let's see if that works out...
We'll start with level 15 and blinds of 2,000/4,000 with 400 ante. The average chipcount is around 200,000 chips.
We're in level 16 with 2,500/5,000 and 500 ante.
Daniel Negreanu just doubled up when pushing in his last 64k chips with K 
J 
and defeating Nicholas Katz' A Q 
.
German PokerStrategist Benny "psychobenny" Spindler lost quite a big portion of his stack when calling a close to 100k push from an opponent with A J 
. Villain showed K 9 and hit his flush on the river!
Chipleader David Vamplew just eliminated the next player and you can only roughly estimate the huge amount of chips he has - should be around 1.3 million.
Noah Boeken lost a coinflip with 66 against Jason Wheeler's AK and is heading homewards with 7,500 pounds in his pockets.
Very interesting hand between JP Kelly and David Steicke, who kept raising and raising preflop. When the TV-guys were ready, Kelly was happy to see the flop 8 J 9 with his 88 against Steicke's AA. The 6 on the turn didn't change anything, but the A finally sent Kelly to the rails...
Even Daniel Negreanu busted out now. First he lost a big pot with QQ vs. AA, and soon afterwards pushed his remaining chips all-in with K3 against77. He didn't hit and had to leave.
We're in level 21 now - blinds are 8,000/16,000 and 2,000 ante.
Chino Rheem is Chipleader and the average chipcount is about 800k chips. There are 29 player still left in the game.
Well-known pro John Juanda was able to double up when an opponent first raised and then called his push with J 8 and got crushed by Juanda's A 9 .
Very interesting hand occurred between Matt Perrins who raised/pushed 8 9 from the SB against Guillaume Rivet's A 9 from the BB. The board came 8 K 2 T and Rivet was very unhappy to leave the table.
