For Mike Lacey...

John Keown -- 13,350

The Mark Herron Story:

He's decided to call under the gun with , so the raise to 500 is obviously following when it happens (blinds were 50/100 at the time).
Flop:    Looking good!  His opponent, Jonathan Farrer (I think) bets 800 when it's checked to him, and Mark raises then to 2,600.  Flat call.
Turn:    Now Mark has to keep up the story, right?  Bets out 2,600.  Flat call.  (Strange and Stranger.) It's about now that I can imagine a certain resignation descending on Mr. Herron, as he realises he only has 2,300 left.
River:  (Hallelujah - Probably) In any case, the last bit goes in and is called, and the Gutshot straight (which was the winning hand, as it turned out) pushed him up to the top of the field in chips while Jonathan has just a couple of thousand left.

Great stuff as is the norm.

if you get the chance could you say hi to Liam Flood and wish him good luck from Graham (from Cornwall).

Thank You

He's confident as ever, with what looks like the beginnings of a Rolf-Slotboomesque chip tower growing (which you can't, sadly, see in this photo).  Will say Hi if I get a chance. 

Thank you

Jerome Bradpiece (pictured, perusing blind level chart like fine wine menu), who came 9th in the €5k Amsterdam Masterclassics Lido tourney this year, has been quietly adding to his stack.

[snoopy1239]

Peter Smyth has near doubled up to 17k.

Flop was

Smyth bets 2.5k, Hossell makes it 5k and Smyth, after a slight huff (although I believe it was genuine) moved all-in for an extra 2.8k.

17k pot, 2.8k more, can you fold?

Bad Girl was adamant that you can't, and she might be right with that flush draw on board. Anyhow, Hossell did fold after being given stick for some 'trapped in the cookie jarness' by his fellow tablemates.
