…Just as long as you’ve got time, to P-L-A-Y, play away, play away, play away. Unfortunately Brian can’t be here today to give us a rendition of this ditty (he’s dead), which seems very appropriate for those who like to play poker. Main Event Day 1e is filling up quickly, with another 100 players having…
The first starting day has now begun, with over 230 players in at the start of the session. That’s close to a hundred more than there were at the same stage yesterday. Last year this same flight ended up with over 900 entrants, could it be as big this year? There is doubt however about…
