No surprise -- things are running behind schedule. That seems to be the theme for the day. Play was scheduled to start at 12 noon; it got started at 1:30. In between 1:30pm and 5pm at least three different breaks were taken. At 5pm the tournament was put on a "45-minute dinner break". It's now just afer 6pm and play has just resumed.

Bear in mind that we're only on the first leg of this double shootout. After each of the five tables plays down to two players, we'll have to consolidate to a final table and play the second leg of the shootout. We put in the order for a case of Red Bull about an hour ago.

Anyway, cards are back in the air. The players are still in the Pot-Limit Omaha round, which is Round 5 of the tournament. Blinds are 150 and 300.
