Is Marcel Luske in....

Nope, sorry, I"m guessing not from his presence a couple of hours ago in the restaurant.

And we, obviously, have now returned from our own cowalicious restaurant excursion. We ate Brazilian steak. Tomorrow we may go for Uruguayan steak. Or Argentinian steak. Don"t know yet.

But forgetting steak for a moment, we"re legging it back up the stairs to get some more stories and whatnot.

Djinn:
After a full circuit of the room (pictures to follow) it has been ascertained that one very excellent to watch table (featuring Praz, Karl, the Camel and chip leader Micke Narinder) is right next to the rail allowing viewing IF you can get past the four-deep crowds. 

Those guys chips:

Narinder -- 220,000
Keith Hawkins -- 75,000
Praz Bansi -- 58,000
Karl Mahrenholz -- 50,400

Keith just took down a pot after raising to 4k preflop and receiving one button caller.  His 6k bet on the  ac 5d 8h flop was enough to increase his stack a little ways.  

Djinn:
Pete Linton is OUT - having nursed around 16k for a while, he picked a bad time to re-raise all in with  ts th - after an under the gun raiser to 6k turned out to have  kc kd... "I want to go home," he admitted, sharing the sentiment of many a near-but-not-quite knockout.  Play, as usual, took off after the dinner break, with the many stacks under 20k gambling to get back up to average.  Unfortunately, we could only see the results of most of these stabs at busting or gloriousness - people standing up and either sitting back down or doing the Slow Walk.  Two tables have broken in quick succession, and there are just 70 players remaining.

danafish:
They"re down to 68 and there is a rumour that they"re playing down to 60 today, but as with most things here, it is as yet unsubstantiated.

I believe though that Jen may have spied some kind of payout information at last. Cross your fingers now...

Blinds are 700/1400 with a 200 ante. Average is 63,880.

danafish:
There is a sort of balcony, officially attached to the restaurant, from which it was possible this afternoon to view a couple of the tables at the side of the pit. This balcony has now, however, been filled with small tables occupied by dining couples. They don"t seem to appreciate me interrupting their romantic tete-a-tetes leaning over them with a camera. Nevertheless, I took a photo of Rumit acquired that way. He shouted over his chipcount too, which the dining couple found most distasteful. He"s on 40k.
