Attention NAS!

Not sure exactly what is going on in the VIP room tonight, but the debris and detritus finding its way back out into the main cardroom is quite astonishing. Witness this lady having a chat with a gentleman, while Simon Trumper hurries over to tell her to put some clothes on. Or something.

has he got something in his pocket?

The Gentleman is Darren Whiten General Manager. Very Professional if you ask me.

The lady may be from next door who's got lost. Trumpers there for live commentry.

It may be an allin situation.

Lots of hands being caught in cookie jars at the moment. First, Andrew Andreou folded to an all in push from Marc Goodwin. The very next hand, Marc himself raised, but quickly folded when Richard Berridge reraised.

Disaster!

Chris Bruce makes it 20k utg, and finds callers in Randera on the button and Marc in the big blind.

They see a flop. Marc checks. Chris bets another 20k. Randera flat calls, at which Marc announces all in. Everyone gets up and wanders about, tensely. Chris folds. Randera calls, and this is bizarre, as he is calling for his tournament life, and he is holding...







... . Apparently Chris folded A-J. Marc is holding .


Turn: wait for it.......















.....











Ouch.

River: which doesn't pair the board, obviousl, and Randera doubles up to around 300k, while Marc is down to a disgruntled sort of 25k or thereabouts.

With very evil Fran looking on:

The very next hand, Marc is all in with against Richard Berridge's .

Board: a straightalicious

"That makes it all square then, right?" says Marc Goodwin, who in spite of his legendary cool appears to be sulking just a little bit. "I won one and I lost one, so that's all ok."

Marc Goodwin has been thumped down to just 20,000 after clashing with Chris Bruce. Perhaps still fuming from his earlier slice of misfortune, Marc raised to 15,000 before calling Chris Bruce's all in push of 53,600. With Marc flipping , he was going to need some help as Chris showed , but it failed to emerge as the board came an ineffective .

Chris receives a Brucey Bonus.

Great job snoops and dana.

And just a few hands in, Marc Goodwin pushes his shortstack all in and is looked up by Chris Bruce.

"Chris shows ," announces Simon Trumper, "and Marc has "..."

Marc reveals just the one card and adds, "I haven't looked at the other yet."

"... and ," continues Trumper as Marc flips over the other. "Two live cards."

Board = ... academic river...

... and Mr Cool doubles through.

Just for the sake of fun, I understand Mr Goodwin made a full house on that academic river. His luck's changing!

[danafish]

And again, Mr Goodwin doubles through most fortunately, as if the poker gods feel bad about that gutshot.

He moves in for 36k utg and it folds around to Andy Greekfish on the big blind, whose attention is entirely absorbed by the steak dinner in front of him and just the hand before said that he intended not to get involved in anything until the steak was gone. He calls.

Goodwin:
Andreou:

Greekfish is already looking back down at his steak, but the board is a Goodwin-favouring . Apparently Berridge folded K-9, which in retrospect considering the board was probably not in his interest. Goodwin doubles up to 80k or so.

She didn't get in. Wrong footwear apparently.

They've all got alligator blood here, the latest player to survive an all-in being serial final tabler Chris Bruce. Pushing for around 70,000 from the small blind (3k/6k blinds), he found a call from Richard Berridge in the big blind who showed . Chris tabled .

Board =

Brucie lives to fight another day. Didn't he do well?

[snoopy1239]

After battling his way back into contention with the determination of the most fearsome of Trojan warriors, poor Marc Goodwin has suffered yet another unfortunate setback as he crosses swords with local favourite Richard Berridge. With the latter pushing all in for a total of 85,800, Marc Goodwin sighed momentarily before leaning back in his chair and announcing, "One again, I call."

On their backs...

Flop =

Marc walks away from the table in disgust.

Turn =

He needs help...

River =

Richard pumps the air as his fans on the rail quietly celebrated his victory with a smattering of muted cheers.

Marc, meanwhile, is back below 50,000.

"This is the sickest final table I've ever seen," observes a flabber gasted Chris Bruce.
