Break Time

[user46392]
[user46392]
Looks as though one happy gent is making himself $1,000 -- the board says 455 runners currently.

Off we go on a 30 minute break now (they'll be colouring up the 5 chips while we're gone).

And Still They Come

New arrivals include:

- Paul "Actionjack" Jackson
- Blair Rodman
- Derek Raymond
- Jan von Halle
- Katja Thater
- Max Pescatori
- Mickey Appleman
- Marsha Waggoner
- Tommy Hang
- Esther Taylor
- Jason Mercier

Who's Doing Well?

We know it's only two levels into this hi/lo limit tournament, but there's been some significant chip movement in some corners already.

Going Up

Jim Geary: 6,500
Marcel Luske: 6,000, much of it in the teeny tiny 5-denomination chips


Going Down

Dario Alioto: 2,600
Perry Friedman: 1,200

Parking Themselves Now

Talking of Parkers, we've got another one now -- Mr Brock Parker and his funny beard. Also now arrived -- Dan Heimiller, Sabyl Cohen-Landrum, Allen Cunningham, Norman Chad and Jerrod Ankenman.

Paul Parker Not Scooping Early

[user46392]
[user46392]
Paul Parker has not had an amazingly good start -- he's down to 3,300 already.

Nevertheless, he seems pretty cheerful about it. "Well, I'd rather do badly early. You've only got so many scoops in you in one day. I definitely don't want to scoop early."

426 Runners So Far

[user46392]
[user46392]
One gent will not be particularly happy if the numbers climb much higher -- the anonymous sir has $1,000 says that it won't make 500 runners. It's certainly making his first couple of levels much more interesting.

422 and Rising

[user46392]
[user46392]
As expected, numbers have gone through the Brasilia Room roof already -- we're up to 422 so far, and if many more turn up we're going to have to find us some more tables from somewhere.

Where's Lisandro?

[user46392]
[user46392]
Perhaps he feels like he should give someone else a chance in a stud event this Series, but so far there's been no sign of three-time bracelet winner so far this year Jeff Lisandro. Maybe he'll make it in later...
