6.30pm: Time to break over
Breaktime is a wonderful thing. You get to step outside to enjoy some fresh air, nip to the bar to pick up that pint the cocktail waitress forgot to bring you or, if you're a sponsored pro, get hassled by a blogger like me. Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly fell into the latter category. 'I was going well on 25,000 but just played the worst hand of my life calling someone Hollywooding on the river with Ace Jack [on a jack-high board]. They had the straight,' he said. Despite that he's still got plenty of time to get grinding with 16,000.
blinds: 75/150
