From our working station, we can see through the window into the Team Betfair lounge, and at the moment they are hard at work. One guy is multi-tabling 4 tables in the BetFair Online Poker Room, while his neighbour is playing some form or real time role playing game.
Snoopy and I have a prop bet going, as to who will give up first (the loser buys dinner). Snoopy likes the multi-tabler, claiming "He is only playing small and his bankroll can handle the swings", whereas my money is riding on the Role Player as his screen is chaotic and he seems in the zone.
It looks like the declining pace of action is not just boring for the players.......
After a day of struggling, Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson is finally picking up steam with 25,400.
The last battle he won was against Mark McCluskey, the Londoner calling Jesus' 6k bet on a

Phil Hellmuth = 36,000
Maria Maceiras = 11,000
Sheesh, he wins millions at the table and now he's after my job. I think I'm going to have to warn him off. Either that or get rid of him by shouting 'free bar'.
The biggest stack in the room here at the Fifty at the moment is this guy. Eight bracelets and all, maybe you recognize him.
Nuno Geraldes was short-stacked and moved all in. RW Stain moved all in over the top and everyone folded.

Sherkhan Farnood, currently on 35,000, is enjoying what is my first experience of a finger massage. The masseuses are clearly very talented here, attacking body parts that you simply wouldn't associate with a massage. I even saw ear lobes being given the once over the other day!
I've been tempted all week to request a massage, but I fear my muscular physique might be too much for them to handle and eventually wear them out. Perhaps I should ask for a finger and ear lobe massage instead.
