It looks like we're not getting a live feed to the press room, which is a bit upsettingbecause I've grown to hate the stairs between the casino floor and the press room. So it looks like we'll be running up and down said stairs intermittently to bring you as much information as we can scrape together...

Seat 1 Neville Barry 795,500
Seat 2 Colclough Dave 874,000
Seat 3 Ashby Richard 358,000
Seat 4 Sambrook Tom 161,000

Seat 6 Slade Nick 216,000
Seat 7 Kaye Victor 80,000
Seat 8 Bruce Chris 139,500
Seat 9 Fronda Ryan 76,000

Blinds will start at 7k/14k with a 1k ante.

1st £88,300 plus £10,000 added by Blue Square Poker

5th £17,100
6th £14,200

Been given more wrong information, sigh. The blinds have actually been rolled back to 6k/12k with a 1k ante.

No live feed yet, so Dana and I are taking it turns squeezing into the little tv area.


Barry raises to 26k, Nick Slade calls in the big blind.

Flop:

Th Ac Qh

Nick checks, Barry bets 45k, Nick c/raises to 100k. Barry folds.


Dave raises to 26k, and takes the blinds.

Barry raises to 27k, Dave calls, Richard re-raises to 100k and everyone folds.

We've lost one!

Victor Kaye pushes preflop; Tom Sambrook moves all in too.

Victor -  Kc 4d

Tom -  Ks Kh

Board -  3d 5c 9h 5d Jc

So Victor Kaye is OUT in 9th place, winning £5,700.

Ryan Fronda has been doing some sterling blind-nicking work too - he's up to over 100k now, although with blinds 6k/12k/1k he's still not comfortable.

Barry raises to 34k from the button when it folds around to him; Ricahrd Ashby calls.

Flop -  9h 3s 7d - check, check.

Turn -  3c - check, check.

River -  8h

They both check, and Barry turns over  Ac Kh; Ashby mucks. Barry is not allowed his ipod today, and it remains to be seen how he will be affected by this...

Dave Colclough has found his aggression, stealing two hands preflop and pushing Barry Neville off another one on the flop with a 40k bet.

A few hands from before.

Dave raises to 40k, taking Ryan's BB.

Dave raises to 40k, taking Barry's blind, though Barry dwelt for a bit.

Barry calls in the small blind, Dave checks. Flop: Ks Jh 8h. Barry checks, Dave bets 20k and Barry passes.

Dave calls in the small blind. Richard raises to 35k and Dave passes.

Nick raises from UTG+1 to 35k and takes the blind.

Tom Sambrook moves in preflop. "I love no limit," he says. No takers though, and he takes the considerable blinds and antes.

Chris Bruce, Ryan Fronda, Barry Neville and Richard Ashby see a flop.

 2s 3c Td

Chris checks, Ryan checks, Barry checks, Richard attempts to steal with 35k, only for Chris to move in. They all pass. Quite a big pot, that.

Nick raises to 36k, over to Barry in the blind, who announces, "All-in."

Barry, "Richard...Nick, why do I want to move all-in with nowt."

Barry shows Eights.

Jack raises to 40k, Ryan Fronda is thinking... but passes, Barry passes, Dave calls in big blind.

Flop:

4c 7h 4h

Dave checks, Jack moves in, Dave passes. Guess DC didn't have the full wilson. ::)

DTD showdown - Richard Ashby bets 40k on a 2 - 6 - T - J - 9 board, Dave Colclough calls. Ashby shows  9s 2d to take it.

Next hand, he raises the SB to 32k; Greek Jack passes his BB.

Nick raises to 50k utg, Ryan is dwelling again and fiddling with his chips, thinking thinking thinking....passing. Everyone else folds, Nick shows Ace King offsuit.

Richard Ashby nicks Nick Slade's and Greek Jack's big and small blinds respectively.

Blinds now 7k/14k/1k.

Super-tight play. Will not publish accompanying illustrative photo for sake of forum decorum...

Tom Sambrook raises to 40k from the cut-off and takes the blinds.

Nick raises to 45k from the button, Chris Bruce sighs a little, counting his chips, eventually passing. Ryan Fronda passes. Nick shows them bullets. Chris Bruce said he had Ad 9d.

Greek Jack raises preflop to 40k. Says Barry, "Why do you want to take my blinds?" Jack is defensive - "How many times have I taken your blinds?" "What, in the last 6 years?"

Barry lets him take it...

Ryan moves in from the button for 60k. Barry calls, Dave passes.

Board -  Qc 3h 6c 7c 2d

Richard not quite crippled exactly, but definitely not in the peak of health...

I always knew it was just luck! That's why I do so badly...  :'(

Dave said yesterday that he only wins when he's miles ahead or miles behind, if he gets it in on a coinflip he's bound to lose...

Ryan Fronda raises to 50k from the button, leaving himself with about 90k - Barry folds his small blind. On the big blind, Dave Colclough announces all in. There is a minute or so of anxious running-of-Fronda-hands-through-quite-attractive-if-you-like-that-sort-of-thing-Fronda-hair, before Ryan says, "I've got enough to get away" (debatable) and folds, showing  Ad. Probably a good fold. Probably.

Ryan pushes the next hand for 91k, Richard Ashby thinks about it but folds.

Barry raises to 41k next hand, taking the blinds.

Another blind-steal for Dave. He's probably over a million in chips now. At one with the game, man...

Nick makes up the small blind. Chris Bruce checks,

Flop:

7s 8h 7h

Nick bets 14k. Chris passes. Nick groans as he shows Queen Seven.

Richard Ashby makes it 37k to go. Ryan Fronda spends some time considering. He checks his cards again and makes a "hmm, not bad" face at them, and counts all his chips out and puts them in a single big stack. He still passes though.

Dave raised UTG, Greek Jack moves all-in from mid-position. Dave calls.

Ad Kc for Dave

Qd Qh for Greek Jack

2h 5d 2d Ks 4d is the board

Meaning that Kyriacos Dionysiou is OUT in 8th place winning £8,600

Nick Slade limps in and Dave checks the big blind.

Flop -  Qs Kh 9c

Dave checks. Nick bets, and Dave passes. Nick shows pocket nines. And smirks from behind his sunglasses.  Just like this.  8)

Flop -  6h Th 9d

Dave announces all in, and gurns a bit.

Richard Ashby obsessively stacks and restacks his chips for a bit. Eventually he folds. Dave takes the last pot of this level.

It is now the DINNER BREAK. Chip counts after...

Dave said he had K-9 both times in the last two hands.

The players all having a meal together. We get nothing... :'(

Tom Sambrook -- 297,000

Dave raises to 50k first hand taking the first pot.

Dave min-raises to 32k, Ryan calls from the big blind with very little behind.

Flop:

Th 6h Kd

Ryan moves in for 53k. Dave passes. Ryan shows Qc Jc.

5-way-pot-nicking action from Tom Sambrook.

Dave, Tom, Nick and Ryan all call the 16k, and Barry checks.

The flop  8d 6s 6d checks around to Tom, who bets 80k - all fold.

Next hand Ryan moves in from the button, nicking the blinds.

Dave raises to 50k next hand taking the blinds.

Dave limps, Tom Sambrook checks.

 2s Jd 7s and they both check.

Turn  9d and Tom bets 45k.

Mystic Dave blithely passes.

Chris Bruce moves in from the small blind, Ryan Fronda alternated between staring Bruce down and counting his stack, he eventually passed A-T.

Fold around to Barry on the big blind - he shows  Aspades Ts.

Someone just reminded us in the press room that Barry qualified for $10. Clever Barry.

Ryan Fronda all-in blind-nicks again.

Now Barry nicks some blinds. The spectators applaud, and he turns around to bask in it. He is loving this.

And it's Chris Bruce's turn to nick the blinds. This could take a while...

Barry is really suffering from the ipod lack. He's humming Take That songs to himself.

Anyway, he raises to 47k and Nick Slade moves in - 125k total.

Call!

Nick - 7h 7d

Barry - 2h 2s

Board -  Ad 9d 7c 9c 3d

Nick doubles up to almost 300k with the blinds. Barry down to 400 or so. Not sure about that call. He could sing "I Want You Back For Good" to the chips if he wanted to. Or Could It Be Magic and he comes back from this setback? He needs to Relight His Fire...

The Blonde One raises to 60k taking the blinds.

Richard Ashby moves-in taking the blinds.

Barry raises to 38k in the small blind. Dave calls.

Barry Neville -- 650k
Nick Slade -- 268k
Ryan Fronda -- 93k
Tom Sambrook -- 391k

Tom makes it 70k from the button, Nick passes. Ryan looks at his cards.

"You shouldn't have looked," says Tom.

Ryan folds, but considering he was down to just 1,600 at the end of level 4, he's ground out a great result no matter the outcome now.

7c 9d 3c 5s is the latest board:

Dave check/called Tom's flop bet before pushing Sambrook off the turn with a 110k bet.

Nick moves all-in from the button, Ryan 'three chips' Fronda once again checks his microstack before passing, as did Barry.

On a flop of  9d 2c 5c, Barry bets 32k at Dave. "Don't go over the top of me," he says, "You won't come back." Mystic Dave knows what he is doing, and calls.

Turn -  Kd and Barry bets 44k. Again the spirits tell Dave that he is ahead, and he calls.

River -  9s and Barry bets a whopping 96k. Dave calls, without even needlessly dwelling for ages, although there is some gurning involved (sorry, no pictures as yet, but if you scroll up a bit you'll see him trying to smile).

Dave -  4d 4s

And Barry mucks! What a call from the One.

Ooooh, chips moving back in Barry's direction. The humming must be interfering with Mystic Dave's chi.

Barry raises to 45k from the button, Dave reraises to 150k, Barry re-reraises to 336k.

Some dwelling, and an eventual fold.

Barry shows AK.

Barry takes down the next hand with an 80k bet at DC on a  4h Kh 3d flop.

More blind-stealing, Nick Slade the thief this time.

More Grandstand Barry/ Mystic Dave action.

Well done to the Blonde One.  ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;
