Play has started, almost on time. There are two tournament areas quite close together with tables packed tight in order to accommodate the large field. We will have official player numbers soon; the screen shows 281, but it looks like there are more here.

There has already been some confusion regarding how string bets are determined in Europe versus America. Barny Boatman set one young American straight with a quick lesson on how it is done.

The pros seem to be spread out amongst the field, but there a few decent match-ups. Julian Thew has Barry Greenstein and Vanessa Rousso to contend with and he has already lost half his stack in an early confrontation.

Alan Smurfit and Marcel Luske were deep in conversation as I passed them, discussing their respective tailors, no doubt.
