First thoughts...

4 hours sleep in 72! This place is mental. There are somethings I cannot describe or even take pictures that would convey the massiveness of it all! The queues for everything are humungous, cash games, satellites, the cash desk, registration for the main event. There is not one queue I can fit in a picture.

If it wasn't for the rarified air I would be dead on my feet. Even though it is 108 degrees I am still white! I only see the sun when walking from the gold coast to the Rio! About 100 yds of fresh air. I have only spent money on tips and two losing sessions of poker, the comps for media are excellent. We are off to the Pokerstars party tonight for more free booze and food!

It is great meeting so many people who I only know through the electronic airwaves. Everyone is so friendly and willing to introduce the 'Irish Bloggers' to whoever!

The ride continues, hopefully lots more to write about tomorrow. The WSOP main event begins at 11am so we will be bringing as many live updates as possible. The task is enormous, 200 tables to find 30 or so players, by the time we get to the media room they will probably have moved! One thing is for sure - we will do our best!
