Mark's game today.

Stephen talks about Meg trouncing the banker yesterday. He talks about Matt's wrestling and how Harry thinks he's a wrestler too! Matt demonstrates doing a chop on Harry.

The newbie Chisara is introduced - she's an HR business partner and owns a cake business. Stephen points out Mark wraps cakes and he hints he'd like some cakes after the weekend.

Mark has box 18.

Stephen asks how much Mark needs the money and Mark says he'd like to change his life and get to the big money. He talks about his wife and daughter, and how his wife got very ill for a long period.

Mark is a zookeeper and currently with tigers and wolves! His brother's in the audience today. He has a soft-toy chimp with him.

Stephen calls a break...

I'll probably get psychokiller's ire for this comment but a VERY early 2nd break with a determined player in the chair. We are likely in for quite a game.

Early second break @ 22 minutes (usually 25ish)

I predict (it's a guess) he'll still be in live play at two box

Beat you to it Mark.

We're back
