The latter gave it the full 5 minute dwell, I think he sensed he was beat but couldn't fold, eventually moving all-in with  , but Stuart was holding  and the  on the river knocking scandieboy into Davy Jones' locker and pushed Master Rutter up to 20k. He says  to his brother too.

Kenna James is OUT.

Pieces of Eight!

Here's one I saw earlier:

Uberscandie Henning Granstad won a tidy 6k pot in the first 15 minutes...

Caught him raising from 800 to 1,800 on the turn, board:  (with the eight just arriving).  One of two opponents called.
River:  the magic card, for he bet 2,000 and was called by .  His took the pot.  He remarked, "What a flop," both for him and the Other Guy...

Just before the break I witnessed a fun hand, mainly due to the fact that a little bickering match occurred after the hand.

Flop =

Barney Boatman (small blind) bets 1k and Matey boy calls.

Turn =

Barney checks, Mateyboy bets 2k, Barney calls.

River =

Barney checks again, and so does Mateyboy.

Barney =

Mateyboy =

Barney announces straight, subsequently causing all of Mateyboy's mouth muscles to head south.

"How could you call me with that crap?" enquires Mateyboy with a rather fierce tone to his voice.

"I was ahead on the Turn," replies Barney.

"No you weren't," says Mateyboy angily.

At this point, Mateyboy shows his Pocket Jacks.

"Nah, I thought I was behind really, I just wanted to see your cards," gleams Barney.

"The stupid thing is that you made a bad call and then didn't even bet your hand on the River," complains Mateyboy.

"But I wanted you to bet"

"I'm not going to bet on that board after your call on the Turn"

At this point I became bored and mumbled off, leaving the distant sound of mumbling behind me. For a few moments, however, I have to confess to being mildy amusing by the exchange.

Who needs 'poo watch' when you get this at the table.

ATTENTION UPDATERS

I am reliably informed that it is National Talk Like A Pirate Week. I demand that you piratify the updates. For everyone's sake. Oh damn, where's a pirate smiley when you need one...

Shiver me timbers, that girl has avast behind!

[NoflopsHomer]

Total number of entries today:- 198 and we are now on the third level with 179 players after just finishing a short break, so 19 have been made to walk the plank. Yaar!!!

I talked briefly to both Stuart and Julian at the break, Stuart couldn't believe the guy called with the A7, especially since he raised him on the flop, but he's well chuffed about getting into the main event for only £150 from last night.

Julian meanwhile is still with his starting stack, though his table is certain to get more interesting now that Ali Mallu has been moved on to it... Not to mention that Ross Boatman and Torstein Iversen are on there too. Here's the action table complete with the guy who has THE best hair in the EPT.

it looks like betfair from youtube 

[snoopy1239]

After going from 12k to 7k with a 2-4 vs A-9 that was counterfeited on an A-2-4-6-6 board in which he his two pair on each street, Simon Zach is up to 19k after doubling through.

He called a preflop raise with 7-7, only to hit a third 7 on a 7-x-x board.

Although there were two hearts, Simon shoved the chips in, eventually finding a call from .

The set stood up and Zach is now up there with the chip leaders.

[snoopy1239]

JEFF BUFFENBARGER

WANTED, PREFERABLY ALIVE, FOR AN OUTDRAW ON A FELLOW SOLIHULLIAN

Jeff bet an open-ended straight draw, John Shipley minimum re-raised his flopped set, Jeff raises again and Shipley re-raises.

By this time, Jeff considers himself to be in too deep and decides to push, inevitably finding a call from Shipley.

So, all the chips in on the flop and Jeff makes his straight when a six finds the Turn.

Ouch

Chip count for Tony (The Rockfish) Mackay when you get a mo. CHEERS

[NoflopsHomer]

Harry Demetriou is OUT, he lost 4 hands in a row and then was all-in with  against  only for the flop to come  and no miracle runner runner.
