Vince Birt leaks a few more chips, calling Karl Mahrenholz's under the gun raise to 6,500 (blinds 1k/2k ante 200) and then check-passing on the flop.  McCool laments lack of late stage aggression...

MEANWHILE - Chubbs races into the chip leader spot with 160,000+

Joe Grech raised preflop.  Nick Slade re-raised.  Simon Nowab pushed in (for his whole 75k).  Joe passed, then this happened (thanks, Ariston, for this one):
Nick, "Have you got Aces?"
Simon, "Yes."
Nick, "Will you show if I pass?"
Simon, "Yes."
Nick, "Are you sure?"
Simon, "Yes - what do you want, blood?"
Nick calls all in with .  Simon flips , and takes him out.

My photography skills are pretty poor, but I'd thought I try and grab a few decent close-up snaps anyhow.

Tikay is no more - the first reasonable hand with a space to raise coming with it - he moved in and found as a caller.  Not the best match-up; even after the Jack on the flop the Ace on the turn sealed his fate and the Queen river sealed it a bit tighter.  He's been a bit ill through this one, but we were hoping for a Day Three appearance; not to be - but we'll be seeing a good deal of him on this tour, I reckon...

Not in my opinion. By the sounds of it - the 55 dude had a comfy chip stack. I do believe that you should look for opportunities to gamble when you fall way below the average - but in a deep structure tourney I don't think such risks are neccesary. The best he can realisticallty hope for is a race against two overcards - and he would have to assume some percentage of his opponents range to higher pairs. Suspect - in my opinion of course.
