Ok this is the part for the nerdy mathematicians out there (apparently mathematicians are now hot according to Cosmo - so here is your chance).
Dealers work in 30 minute shifts on each table and probaby deal around 15 hands in that time. This dealer manages to deal AA to 2 players in a single hand not once, but twice. How likely is that? References to "more likely than Elvis being the dealer", "England getting a decent rugby team together" etc. etc. appreciated.
Anyway I got to the break with 20,000 chips - the same as we started with. We play each session for 2 hours, followed by 15 minutes off. The first session has blinds of 50/100.
I have decided to play tighter than a tight thing and early I fold to a raise and reraise holding AK suited (I know you would find this easy Gareth but I don't).
We then get the first AA vs AA between tight lady and Chris Lee. Somehow they only get about half their chips in pre flop but they are all in the middle when the flop come Q96 with 2 spades. Dealer makes it interesting when he turns another spade to give Chris a draw to a flush, but luckily no spade comes on the river and they split.
Then about 15 minutes later I pick up AA in mid position. I raise to 300. The button reraises to 1200 - I think Christmas - this guy has KK or AK and I am going to get him. I reraise to 2500 but when he goes all-in and I call flipping my cards over we are all loling (sorry laughing out loud) when we see AA vs AA again. The crowd goes wild - and we split 150 chips between us.
Rather annoyingly I get AA about 30 minutes later and everyone folds to my reraise. It's a funny old game.
