The mystery of the whereabouts of Television's Anthony Kendall has been solved here in Dublin. I almost didn't recognise him without the TV make-up, or the trademark blonde dyed syrup, but here he is grinding away and talking to the dealer about trains

[Chili]

Jerome Bradpiece who short stack himself came up against fellow shortie.

  for Jerome
  for shorty

A jack on the river knocked out matey, jerome upto circa 8k

Kara Scott again for me her legions of admirers

This is scandolous! That's never Tikay. He has too many chips

[Chili]

I caught the end of an odd hand.  Mark Wright had moved to Dan Harrington's table about an hour a go, he says Dan hadn't played one hand prior to this one.

With a 7k stack at the start of the hand, Dan went all in the turn for about 3k. The board was

  

Matey who was all in with the call, indeed made the call with   .  

Dan tabled   with a few raised and furrowed brows from his table mates. No out to help Dan possible and he is outski.

[TightEnd]

Toby Lewis showcases a little known hobby of his, few know he moonlighted from Online Pokers as captain of the USA Kingdom Polo team in the 2006 All American Games. Requires a bigger saddle nowadays though

[Chili]

Another 10 minutes till we have all players actually - playing.  So I'll do a full update of the remaing DTD qualifiers then.

[TightEnd]

Interesting hand for Marc Goodwin

He raises pre flop and Peter Gruber calls in the big blind. The flop comes

  and Marc c-bets 2,500 which is more than a pot sized bet. Gruber check min-raises to 5,000. Goodwin immediately shoved and there was an audible gasp from the rail when Gruber folded leaving himself just a few thousand to play with.

Goodwin is now on 24,000.

DTD Qualifier Ramzi Abbassi, chopper of last month's DTD Deepstack (update tomorrow afternoon on blonde) talks us through his tournament so far:
