Welcome to Day 1A of the £1,500 Main Event at the Victoria Casino in London. With it's increased buy-in, the players will start with an extra 2000 chips more than usual, for a total of 12,000. I've been optimistic in my assessment of how many people we'll get in total for the event, believing we might reach close to 400 whereas Jen is a half-empty girl. "260," she says... So boring.
Players are about to squeeze into their small yet comfortable seats spread around the top floor of the Vic. Some players don't seem to be totally aware of what they've bought into though, overheard just not was one person asking the dealer the following:
"So, how many chips do we get?"
"12,000."
"And how long are levels?"
"1 hour."
"What game are we playing?"
"Texas hold'em."
"And how do you play that?"
Ok, I might have made the last two up...

Challenge for you guys. Get a player to hold up a piece of paper saying "I'm on a boat" and I will donate $20 to anyone who comments saying "I've got a nautical-themed pashmina afghan."
