Eine Zeit für den Snoopenmeister!!!

40 players remain...and with 36 paid things have slowed considerably as bubble dodging becomes the order of the day for many.

This is not slowing down John Kabbaj who I saw raising several times, once from the cut off to 7k, all pass and the 5.6k in blinds and antes was picked up(he didn't show).

Once more from UTG raised to 8k this time, all fold and this time he shows the AdQd. Another 5.6k thank you.

Nick Gibson also appears to be using his big stack well, raising from middle position and picking up the blinds and antes before shuffling his cards round to find an ace to show...

Surinder Sunar is OUT. No details of his exit hand at the moment.

COME ON SHOOPY

[phatomch]

i reckon bambos is going to take this one down with adam wilkinson in the top 5

Richard Herbert busted earlier this level (been having connection problems for the rest of it) - raising under the gun after, "Playing like a rock for ages," which fact didn't put off Matey from re-raising him all in with A-J - Herbert's failed to hold and so close to the money he does the Walk of Shame instead, looking irritated more than shamed.

Also - Mick Fletcher - just gone on the Pre-bubble.

Good Luck and Happy Birthday

Adam Heller has just busted another of the shortstacks, Owen Lock,  agonisingly close to a payday.

He has blessed with some nice hands and found KK at the same time Owen found AK, ensuring they were going to get in a preflop tangle.

No surprises from the board, and Adam Heller's stack grows ever larger and Owen moves away to regale his friends with stories of his bad luck and unfortunate timing...

39 players remain...

M Hayes has been knocked out after seeing a K hi flop with 2 spades, he commited his chips and was called by the A9s of the chipped up Leo Kam and a spade river finished Hayes off...

38 players remain....

There was one more knockout to bring us down to 37 making it BUBBLE TIME...

Which doesn't last long as we have out bubbler and I'm afraid to say it was Blondite, Daniel Rudd aka UpTheMariners.

His executioner was also a blondite, Ian Cox.

The hand played out that Daniel made it 7k from the cutoff and Ian reraised to 22k. Daniel then pushed for another 54k.

Given the tough decisions both players made the hand started with 40 left and finished with 37 left by the time all the dwelling was done.

Ian eventually made what must have been a fairly difficult call with JJ and was rewarded by being shown 99 in the hands of Daniel Rudd.

The flop gave Daniel a flush draw and additional hope but blanked out to give the giant pot to Ian and push him up with the leaders. Sadly Daniel became the 37th placer, one off the money, and will be feeling a bit sick inside but he played a good tournament from what I saw and can be proud of his performance.

Snoopy's forty-something thousand chips looked great at the start of today, but don't look so comfortable now... Just before the bubble he did move all in after Carl Buskirk limped in late position and Priyan de Mel made up the small blind.  Whatever he had on the big blind, it was time for Snoops to push and push he did... with no calling. 

A couple of hands later (this is still a pre-bubble story) Priyan de Mel raised preflop to 7,200, and found Adam Wilkinson re-raising to 31,200 (which left him just 15k behind).  Priyan considered for a minute and opted to just call this large committed-looking preflop re-raise... they saw the flop: .  Wilkinson checked, and de Mel threw out enough yellow 5k chips to cover him.  He went into the tank, and eventually passed - showing and leaving himself with just 15k...  Haven't been back down there in a while to check on how the doubling up (or not) is going, but I imagine action will have been faster now that everyone's in the money....
