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.

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."

Parking Themselves Now

[user46392]
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.

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

And Still They Come

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).

Level: 3

Blinds: 0/0

Ante: 0

And We're Back

[user46392]
[user46392]
467 runners, including the newly-appeared (or in some cases, newly-spotted) Marcin Horecki, Nick Frangos, Steve Wong, Barry Greenstein, Marco Traniello, George Lind, Greg Raymer (astoundingly wearing proper trousers today instead of his trademark shorts), Jon "pearljammer" Turner, Linda Johnson and Chris Bjorin. Phew.

No More Late Entries

[user46392]
If you're not already registered, you're not coming in. New rule or no new rule, it looks as though the tables have condensed themselves somewhat as all the spare eight seats have now been filled. No super-mega-insane Tables Of Doom, but some interesting ones nonetheless.

Newly shown up in time for this post:

- Sam Grizzle
- Adam Levy
- some character by the name of Daniel Negreanu
