Here's the footage of Phil Laak's ten second countdown to breaking the world record for longest poker session. You can read Phil's account of how he's feeling at hour 87, about 15 hours after this video was shot. Considering the mental strain he must be under he seems surprisingly lucid, if not a touch poetic.
You can also listen to an audio log from Phil that gives additional insight into how he's feeling and what he's thinking. Check it out here: Phil-Laak-Poker-Endurance-Audio-Log.m4a (923.26 kb)
As of this writing, Phil is still going strong at hour 96 - that's 24 hours beyond the previous Guinness World Record! You can follow him via live video stream as well as through his Twitter account.
Amazing job Phil, we're rooting for you!
