We suppose we should fill you in on the schedule since we hinted at it earlier.
We're into the second level of this Day 1a flight, and each level is 40 minutes long. We'll play nine levels for this flight with a break after every three levels. We get our dinner break after the flight concludes at about 5:30pm, then we're back at 7:00pm to do it all over again.
Day 1 will be in the bag around 1:30 tomorrow morning.
Picking up the action on a 
board, Jeff Banghart was faced with a decision after his opponent bet 3,600. Banghart mulled it over and called, relieved to see his opponent instantly muck.
Banghart showed 
and is chipping up during Level 2.

You're probably as used to it as we are by now, but we figured it was worth a mention. The internet situation inside the Kennel Club leaves something to be desired, and things have slowed for us as the players have joined our network and clogged up the works a bit.
Things are running awfully slow for us right now, so we apologize in advance for any lapses in the coverage.

We just spotted 2010 November Niner John Dolan at the table in the far corner of the room a few moments ago.
Then, we were getting coffee at the bar — for the sake of you and us both — and Dolan came traipsing past us with his backpack on his shoulders and a bit of a frown on his face. A quick check on his former table finds that Dolan has indeed been eliminated from this Day 1a flight.
Kyle Bowker has doubled his starting stack, while Richard Lee has been felted. Matt Brady also recently took his seat.
