Actually, that's not true, there's a lot of milling about and various media presence, etc -- but as yet, there is no hint of play starting. We'll keep you posted.
Good afternoon and welcome back to the Casino Barcelona, where 23 players remain rather than the expected 24 after Samer Rahman and Pontus Kers managed to bust out at almost exactly the same time last night.
Young Greek Georgios Kapalas leads, closely tailed by youthful Canadian Matt Lapossie, well-dressed Englishman Marc Goodwin and French veteran Patrick Bueno. After that... Well, actually, those are the only four of our runners who really have above-average stacks -- it's pretty top-heavy at the moment, but we'll see what happens as the day progresses.
Play is due to start at 12.30 local time, join us back here then.
