The blinds will start at 800 and 1,600.

Your current chip leader is Lucy Rokach who has 221,100.


Prize Breakdown:

1st = £51,100
2nd = £26,850
3rd = £14,700
4th = £10,855
5th = £7,020
6th = £5,750
7th = £4,470
8th = £3,830
9th = £3,200
10th-18th = £1,025

And right from the off we've had some real drama with an Aces versus Kings clash.

Huckle held the Cowboys whilst Ash Pervais, my pick for third, had the American Airlines.

140k pot.

Board = T-7-K-4-3

Ash Pervais was covered, so he is therefore OUT.

Toni Decesari has doubled up to 33k with Fives versus Ace King. As a result, Essy Jahanpour is down to the felt.

3 HANDS:

(1) Toni Dicesari is OUT.

The Midlander raised it up pre-flop, and was called by Dan Carter, who then also called the 25k all-in on a Flop of 5c 6s 9s.

"I hope you don't have a set," commented Carter.

He had nothing to fear though as Toni revealed Pocket Queens, drawing to two cards against Carter's set of Fives.

The Ts Turn gave him some hope, but it wasn't to be as the 4h River allowed Carter to scoop the 30k pot.





(2) Shortstacked, Essy Jahenpour moved all-in with A-K, only to be called by Slades J-T of hearts.

Slade cursed the 3s 8c Ahrt

But changed his tone as the Turn and River brought the 5h and 4h.





(3) Double up for John Zaid who moves all-in with Tens only to be called by Lucy Rokach and her Snowmen in the small blind.

7-7-K-5-9 board.

Dave Smith is OUT.

K-K vs Steve Jelinek's A-T.

rag rag rag rag...

Ace

Buddy Ayegun doubles up versus Richard Jenking.

9-9 vs A-K

Board = 8-6-T-A-7

up to 15.5k





Nick Slade is OUT.

Mark Blandford raised with Kings, Nick called.

Blandford moved in on a Qd 9d 3d Flop and, after a lengthy dwell, Nick called, hoping that his Ten of Diamond would be a back up. Unfortunately, Mark also held the King of diamonds.

Turn and River were no help.

Buddy Love doubles up again, Aces vs Lucy Rokach's A-Q on an 8-5-2-K-Q board, all-in pre-flop.


Meanwhile, tikay has doubled up with Kings versus Darshan Sami's Tens.

(5) J Zaib -- 75k
(6) Richard Jenking -- 33.5k
(7) Lisa Scotney -- 25k
(8) Lucy Rokach -- 114k

(1) S O'Reilly is OUT.

A-Q vs Kimber's Jacks.




(2) Richard Jenking is also OUT.

Richard riased pre-flop with A-K and John Huckle moved in from the Big Blind with Pocket Rockets.

Board = Td 9d 7h 6h 9c

Huckle adds to his chip lead.




(4)

And we've lost another, Mark Yaffe, whose Ace King failed to outdraw Dan Ainsworth Pocket Eights.

ACTION

Wilkinson moves all-in from early position for just 15.5k.

Woodley moves all-in for 36.5k.

Cavanagh moves all-in for... lots.

Everybody else passed, including Ryan Fronda who had 7-7 on the Big Blind.

Wilkinson = Kd Td

Woodley = Th Ts

Cavanagh = Aspades Kc

Board = 4s Ks Tc 5d Qh

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!" exclaims Woodley as he bangs the table.

And Ryan Fronda is OUT now.

Ran tens into John Vaccarella's Jacks.


And on the same table...

Joe Grech doubles up with Aces versus Woodley's A-K (Woodley made the final pre-flop call)

2-J-Q-Q-6 board

Woodley is back down to 40k.

Table 1:

Lisa Scotney -- 42k
Tom McCready -- 35k
MZ Hussain -- 39k
Reyaaz Mulla -- 32k
Mark Blandford -- 87k
Rob Garfield -- 156k
Dan Ainsworth -- 47k
Dan Carter -- 66k
Brian French -- 54.5k

Table 2:

Ian Woodley -- 31k
Darshan Sami -- 25.5k
Martyn Cavanagh -- 116k
David Wernick -- 47.5k
Joe Grech -- 115k
Tony Kendall -- 27k
John Vaccarelli -- 98k
Dan Carter -- 81k

Des Jonas has just eliminated Maurice Nicholson with A-Q verus Q-T.


Meanwhile, on the neighbouring table, Darshan Sami has also hit the rail.

A-6 versus Joe Grech's A-T.

5-8-3-J-4 board.

And the end table, post Maurice Nicholson's exit:

John Huckle -- 185k
Don Jones -- 68k
Lucy Rokach -- 102k
Des Jonas -- 66k
Buddy Ayegun -- 23k
Steve Jelinek -- 81k
S Zaid -- 99k
Jeff Kimber -- 163k

Tom McCready is on 60k after winning a race with Tens versus Ace King.


MZ Hussain is OUT.

J-T vs 8-8

Garfield's Eights stood up.

RED-DOG is OUT.

Ran Ace King into Brian French's Aces.

King on the Flop wasn't enough.



And as soon as RED-DOG exits, tikay follows him to the rail.

Down to 12k, he moved in to Martyn Cavanagh's (7-7) raise with T-9s, hoping that he'd be heads up with protection rather than facing the two blinds.

But alas it was a three way pot anyhow as Dan Carter called in the big blind with Sixes.

Martyn Cavanagh's Sevens held up.

Reyaaz Mulla has just been mullered by Rob Garfield, who surpasses the 200k maker for the first time.

A-Q vs A-J

J-9-7-4-T

Reeyaz storms off, not a happy chappy.



Meanwhile, a £1,000 has been taken off the top for 19th place.

Table 1:

Lisa Scotney -- 27,000
Mark Blandford -- 101,000
Rob Garfield -- 179,500

Lucy Rokach -- 145,000
Des Jonas -- 35,500
Steve Jelinek -- 115,000
J Zaid -- 109,500

Buddy Ayegun is OUT.

Shortstacked for most of the day, he finally ran Sevens into Nines. No help.

Dan Ainsworth is OUT. A-K vs J-J.

2 tables and the current line up is:

Table 2:

John Huckle
Don Jones
Brian French
Lucy Rokach
Des Jonas
Rob Garfield
Steve Jelinek
J Zaid
Lisa Scotney

Table 3:

Ian Woodley
Jeff Kimber
Martyn Cavanagh
David Wernick
Joe Grech
Mark Blandford
John Vaccarella
Dan Carter

John Vaccarella is OUT.

Raised with A-Q, re-raised by Dan's Q-Q, called.

Board = 8-T-3-T-4

Dave Wernick doubles up with Aces versus K-Ts

A-A-T-3-3

Kinda emphatic, huh?

Steve Jelinek has eliminated Don Jones with Kings versus Ace Queen.

Board = 7h Tc Qc Ks 9d

Joe Grech eliminates David Wernick.

Qs Qc versus Kc Ts

Battle of the blinds with Wernick in the small.

Ks 3s Js 4h Qh

And following David Wenick is Mark Blandford, who exits in nasty circumstances.

A coinflip with Ian Woodley with 7-7 v A-K all-in pre-flop, the board dealt a nasty river as it came 8-T-T-5-8

Table 2:

Ian Woodley -- 103,000
Jeff Kimber -- 216,000
Martyn Cavanagh -- 81,000
Joe Grech -- 75,000
J Zaid -- 109,000
Dan Carter -- 221,000

Table 3:

John Huckle -- 153,000
Brian French -- 28,000
Lucy Rokach -- 280,000
Des Jonas -- 66,000
Rob Garfield -- 165,000
Lisa Scotney -- 72,000

Brian French is OUT.

Made his move with K-2 from the button, but Lucy Rokach found K-J in the small blind, which stood up an 8-8-5-A-4 board.

Joe raised from the button to 18k, J Zaid made it 48k from the small blind and Joe called.

Flop = 4s 8d 2s

Zaid moved all-in for 63k and Joe went into the think tank.

The clock was put on him and he eventually folded A-K face up.

Zaid cheekily revealed his A-Q.

Des Jonas is OUT.

ELiminated by Rob Garfield.

A-2 vs Jacks



Table 2:

Ian Woodley -- 123,000
Jeff Kimber -- 242,000
Joe Grech -- 165,000
J Zaid -- 141,000
Dan Carter -- 211,000

Table 3:

John Huckle -- 136,000
Lucy Rokach -- 384,000
Rob Garfield -- 223,000
Martyn Cavanagh -- 106,000
Lisa Scotney -- 55,000

Close shave for shortstacker Lisa Scotney.

With the other table swarming around Table 3, Lisa moved all-in from the small blind with Ad 5s, only for John Huckle to call from the big with the same hand, but both clubs.

The flop was a rather scary one.

Kc Jc Th

But the Turn and River were blanks.

He raised pre-flop, Ian Woodley re-raised from the button and Joe re-repopped him.

Ian had to call and was rather embarrassed to reveal Kh 9h, especially when Joe turned over Ahrt Ks.

And Ian was even more red when he flopped a nine on a Qs 9d 2c 6d 5c board.

Joe down to 54k and not looking happy.

Joe has doubled back up again. He moved all in with  Ks Kh and was called by Zaib with  6c 6d

Joe back up to around 120k.

3 Scotney hands...


(1) Lisa Scotney splits yet another pot, K-Q vs K-Q.

They hit a straight, incidentally.



(2) The very next hand she doubles up with A-J vs Huckle's 2-2.

x-x-A-x-J



(3) Soon after...

Martyn Cavanagh is OUT and therefore becomes our bubble boy.

All-in with K-T suited, he ran into Lisa Scotney's Pocket Aces, and she had him just about covered.

The King on the flop wasnt quite enough.

Final.

Lucy raised to 35k, Woodley made it 110,000.

Lucy dwells for a while, ask for a count (Woodley has 75k) left before making a good call with 8-8.

Woodley sighs as he turns over his Sixes.

Board = Ad Jd Ts 4h Td

"Nice call," approves Ian.

Jeff Kimber is OUT and becomes the 5th place finisher winning £7,020

Ace King vs. Jacks all-in pre-flop, Zaib making the final call to take down a 400k pot.

Board = 8d 3h Qd Tc Ts

Lucy Rokach -- 682,000
G Zaib -- 586,000
Rob Garfield -- 260,000

Rob Garfield has doubled through courtesy of G Zaib.

Lucy called the 12k on the button, Zaib made up the small blind and Rob checked.

Flop = 7s 9h Kh

Zaib checked, Rob bet 50k, Lucy folded, Zaib moved all-in and Rob called instantly.
