Good luck everyone! Wish I was there, though at least it"s not raining here

I"ll go for 2 from the UK making the final table, and I"ll go for Paulie to last longest. I sense it"s his time!

Howdy from Cork folks, where it"s a gorgeous day and I"m already questioning the wisdom of being sat in a dark cardroom for the next twelve hours!

A number of the players are milling around the cardroom as we speak, watching one or other of the many big sporting events of the weekend as we await kick off at 2.30pm.  We are anticipating a small field of between 70 and 100 runners and we"ll clarify the final number after the first two levels.

The wifi signal is not too great at the Macau, but we are trialing a live stream from the event, just click this link to view.

Of the travelling APAT players, I met a pained looking Duke in the hotel lobby this morning, while Paulie ambled out of the lift looking similarly challenged.  Those two aside, I"ve briefly said hello to Rita Galvin and her lady friend, Ken and Mrs McBride, Frank and Damien Bailie, Dave "Mr Irritating" Pilkington, Lee Wyatt, Kevin O"Hanlon, JP Round, Rich "Curly" Baker, Matt Carter, Vaino Tiik, Chen Tam and his good lady and a surprisingly non wellingtoned Don Roberts.  Everybody"s in good humour and looking forward to the event starting.

The tournament has started and we"re just awaiting on several players to sit down, we"ll come back with the names of the players on the stream at that point, but I can tell you that Matt Carter, Frank Bailie, Rita Galvin and last year"s runner up Ken Burgess are all sat on that table.

Well we"ve just lost Don Roberts in the first few minutes, against his friend Paul Gildea.  The inevitable cooler of Paul"s Aces against Don"s Kings, saw London Water Walker exit the tournament first.  

[PHIL_TC]

  He"s had worse beats in APATs... UL Don, Guinness FTW x  

[pables]

5 to make the final table and maybe Don Roberts to last longest
