London poker marathon lasted for 43 hours and 30 minutes
Our story earlier this week that 24 players in London aimed to set a new world record by playing uninterrupted poker for more than 43 hours provoked several, and mainly American pokerheads to argue that longer games than that in the States are not uncommon.
This week the BBC reported that the London attempt, which started at Basement Jacks club last Friday night, ended on Sunday afternoon after 43 hours and 30 minutes.

The BBC report said that two independent moderators had monitored the bid, and the final number will go to the arbiters at Guinness World Records for verification.
Meanwhile, Poker Listings commented that regardless of the final decision at Guinness, online card forums are rife with talk that the claimed record is far from the longest uninterrupted poker game ever. Two-day straight sessions are said to be frequent in the industry, and several notable poker games have carried on for much longer than that, players say, with varied amounts of time allotted for "breaks."
