* The first EPT Dublin Main Event for eight years

12:10pm: Introductions complete
Level 1 - Blinds 50/100

The welcomes have been made, and cards are in the air. As the introductory film showed a short while ago, this is the first time the tour has been to Dublin since Season 4. We saw footage of those days, with wins for Ram Vaswani, Mats Gavatin, Roland de Wolfe and Reuben Peters. Then we flashed forward to the modern era of the EPT, to the likes of Cody and Mercier, players I'm not entirely certain had been born the last time we were here.

Regardless, the plan today is much the same as the plan was back then. Eight levels, with a dinner break after level six. We're under way. - SB

11:45am: Main Event players begin to arrive

It's Day 1A of the EPT Dublin Main Event, the first for eight years. Already there's a sense that it's good to be back. The High Rollers have been in action for the past two days (they're now down to eight), and before them the UKIPT kicked off the festival in grand style. It's now time for the main feature.
