How Are They Getting Along?
Although he has ducked under the Pokernews radar for much of the day, he has been quietly and steadily accumulating chips, and is now one of our big stacks on 36,500.
Peter Gould:
Mr. Gould is now extremely unlikely to see Day 2, or even make it to the end of the level, as he's been barely surviving with under 2,000 in chips for some time now on an aggressive table which includes ElkY among its aggressors. With just 1,275 last time we saw him and the blinds at 150/300/25, he may now be beyond the point of recovery...
EDIT: Mr Gould has now officially busted out. With only three big blinds, it was always going to be a struggle...

Turn:
'Ooohs' from the other players and the instantaneously-formed Wall Of Media.
River:
Explosions of hilarity from the other players and the Wall Of Media, who love that kind of thing. Even Strassmann had to laugh. Nobody, however, was having as good a time as Michael Keiner was, as he doubled up his micro-stack to a merely smallish stack of 11,000.
