We’re now down to fewer than 100 players and they’re posting blinds of 300 and 600, with a running ante of 50. It’s level eight, in other words. The average stack is just over 20,000.

As far as we can see, the chip leader is Fredrik Hostrup, from Denmark, who plays on PokerStars as Mr Swatch. Marc Naalden is hot on his heels – and on the same table – with round about 54,000.

And, as it must be, we have lost some. Those include Tiffany Williamson, Pascal Perrault, Xuyen Pham, Cecilia Nordenstam, Alex Bowler (PokerStars qualifier), Marcel Luske, Carlos Mortenson, Martin Wendt.

We just heard the familiar roar that shouts “big pot” echo across the ballroom. Three players all-in pre-flop: there are one pair of aces, and two pairs of kings. Only on the internet, huh?

Here’s a selected chip count, timed at 11pm. We’ve got three hours left.
