We got underway at 9pm local Moscow time and by 9:30 we had lost our 1st 10 players.
The atmosphere here is very exciting with a range of languages that needs to be heard to be believed.. This room would be an "interpreters dream".
1st player to lose all his chips was none other than Steve Hegyi from Sydney Australia. However as there were still 2 unpaid chip stacks he was permitted to re-enter the tournament.
We won’t bother with too much detail but just thought you might be interested to know the order of the 1st unlucky 10 players to be eliminated.
Here are the countries as they are eliminated. ( To save them a little embarrassment I have not given you their names).

The chip leader until 1 minute ago was Dave Parlor from Australia, but he just copped a very bad beat and is now low stacked and will need a little luck to build up from here.
Steve Hegyi just eliminated and also the Melbourne Manila specialist player Anthony Q.
Mike Comer is current chip leader. He doubled up when his pocket rockets held up against Dimitri P. from Sydney Australia.
