Lawless Accommodating
Lawless, incidentally, is wearing a grey hoody identical to many of the players here today. It says, bizarrely, "Last Man Standing" (a row of these side by side at a table instantly contradict each other) and represents his qualification from sponsor site Paddy Power.
This year they've got a huge last-longer prize going - €100,000 (divided into cash and buy-ins to other events). This has actually had a noticeable effect on the pace of Day One. If last year's carnage was a 10 on a scale from 1-10, then today has been only a 7.
There's a lot hinging on being the actual Last Man Standing and as the tournament progresses, expect some serious sweating from those who qualified online.
