Live Updates

Note to all: We are scheduled to start coverage as soon as we work some technical issues out. Our Apologies... IT

Dinner break in one hour and James Woods is down to 118k. Aaron Dugay is sitting on 131k in chips and rolling a nice little table in front of us. Play seems to have slowed down a bit with most of the short stacks trying to avoid going out before dinner break. Larry Goldstein is sitting on over 120k when he scooped three big pots. The first one was an all-in he called from the BB holding AK. The victim was a shorty in the sb who made his move with just over 15k in chips, and holding J5os. Larry avoided the gutter ball on the flop and he continued to surf the rush over the next three hands.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Down to 270 with some movement in chip stacks. James Woods is sitting somewhere near the 200k mark and is holding more than his own.

There are a ton of cashers from the 500k guarantee here seemingly parlaying their efforts from the event in May to play in this. all seem to be above the high water mark of about 80k in chips.

Not so many beats as of yet, but is usually the case as the victims normally take off like they have been cattle prodded and never get to tell anyone other than their friends. The dinner break is coming up soon and we hope to have the broadcast up by 8pm.

As I walk around the room to see who is doing well, and who isn't, you get the feeling of doom and gloom more so than anticipation and excitement. Thats how these deep stacks go.

Everyone starts out with 50k in chips in this event and you see guys with 40k looking around at the guys with 70k and thinking and acting like short stacks. The more experienced players are playing their stacks as they should be while the less experienced look desperate trying to get back to even, but unwilling to chance almost anything.

I watched one guy throw his Ipod against the floor early on when his AA went busto against KK when the inevitable K ball hit the river. Fun times are sure to be had here over the next few hours, and days, as more craziness is bound to ensue. We'll keep you updated.

Well away we go.... Here at the Borg and they currently have 342 players, with more registering. The field will probably hit the 350 mark which is an increase from last year.

In the field is James Woods (yes, the actor), who will be starting shortly after registering late. Larry Goldstein is also in the field having arrived from Vegas just 4 hours ago.

Look for updates as we get them...
