BoM2015: Monday 13:25

I have just arrived at Portomaso and Elio and a team of willing minions are scurrying about preparing the FT for the start.

They are no longer using the big hall, we are downstairs on the casino floor with the flashing lights of slot machines and the sounds of "no more bets". How wrong those croupiers are, there will be many more bets during what promises to be an interesting final table.

Elio hard at work... probably.One of these seats belongs to the hero.

I'm going to bung 10euros in the slot machines in the smoking machine area, yes they still let you gamble and get cancer at the same time in Malta!

Just under 30 mins until they restart the clock on level 31. The average chips are 4 510 000 with the blinds on 100k/200k/20k, so the play is a lot shallower than I would have expected.
That said, the tournament was originally supposed to finish yesterday, but Elio took the decision on Saturday that the FT would be played today. I saw how exhausted the remaining players were at 23:00 last night when play closed, so I think Elio has made a very good decision.
