An announcement was just made for the remaining PLO8 players to take their seats. A few of them are hanging around the tournament area, waiting to open chip bags. We might actually get started soon.
2010 World Series of Poker
Well, this is what we know.
Dealers are at their assigned tables in the Orange Section of the Amazon Room. Chip bags have been brought out. But because one of our 21 remaining players (Erik Seidel, who will start the day with six big blinds) is playing in the Tournament of Champions, our re-start is still delayed. We were originally told the scheduled 3pm restart was pushed back to "not before 4:10pm" but it's 4:22pm and we're clearly not close to starting.
We'll continue to monitor the situation but what promised to be an already-long day seems to be getting longer by the minute.
Good afternoon and welcome back to the Amazon Room, where once again we are here way too early.
Yesterday Sergey Altbregin finished in the lead on 486,000 but Dave "Devilfish" Uliiott and Perry "Three Bracelets and Went Heads Up With Stu Ungar in the 1981 Main Event" Green are hot on his heels. Erik Seidel is also in the running, although he may be distracted somewhat by the Tournament of Champions.
Either way, the restart has been pushed back to around 4.30pm according to Jack Effel, so watch this space and we'll let you know the second cards are in the air.
