From the
Cake poker blog:
"Phil Laak’s 115-hour Guinness World Record for the longest continuous poker session has only been set for a few weeks, but it’s already under assault.
Now a group of poker amateurs in Austria is attempting to break Laak’s mark. The seven players, led by German screenwriter, actor and film director Max Krückl, are aiming for a mark of 150 hours. According to the official website of the challenge,
PokerWeltRekord.com, the group’s goal is “to challenge and to cross the limits of what is humanly possible, not for money but for honor.”
The attempt at setting a new world record is taking place at the Kufsteinerhof Hotel and Restaurant in Kufstein, Austria, in the Alpine region of Tirol. Play got underway at 7:14 a.m. local time in Austria this past Saturday, and if successful in breaking the record the group will play poker at least through Friday morning.
“Together,” says the website, “we will bring the world record from Las Vegas to Tirol!"
All seven players are under medical supervision in case anything should go wrong. There is a tab on the website set up to display a live stream of the event, though it appears that there have been some technical difficulties. However, according to the website, the stream is due to come back online today, so you can check out the attempt to take down the Phil Laak world record for yourself."
Beat:is this even a webcam? Screen refreshes like 3 times a minute. No sound, no flop cam:

If you select "Flash JPG stream" it seems a little better
