Players are slowly starting to take their seats before we start in 2 minutes time...

And we're off.

Blinds are 50/100 1000-2000/300

Paul Jenkinson first man out :(

Peejay shoved his 5.5bb stack UTG with 6-2 (I think he didn't look) and Neil Barron behind had A-K which didn't need to hit the T-5-T-Q-A board, but did anyway to rub it in.

Payout structure available yet?

Ceri Rees' and Sean Randall have either bust or been moved - either way their seats are empty.

Haven't got full payout yet but it's 27 paid, £47k to the winner.

Reg updates on Craig Owen, Ceri Rees n Tom Kugelstadt pls, tyty

Ceri's already bust, Sunny.

Will keep an eye on Craig and Tom.

Glenn Laming has bust in a cooler. He shoved over the top of a Will Freeman raise with A-K but Will called with Q-Q and Glenn missed the 8-8-5-9-2 board and is heading home.

ffs n tyty

Gl all Blondes

Paul Jenkinson - apparently doesn't need to look at his cards, and Glenn before he departed the tournament

Craig Owen lost a chunk when he fired twice into Tina Ainsworth on a 6d 8s Td 9c 2s board, Ainsworth check-calling 7500 on the turn and tank check-calling 11000 on the river. Tina was good with the mighty Jd 8d, Owen just mucking silently.

new facebook pic for craig owen pls....lol

Kyle Outhwaite doubled through Robert Boon in the obligatory Aces vs Kings cooler.

Jack Allen just won a 150k pot off Bash Mahmood when Bash bet 40k into a 70k pot on the river of a 6-9-6-J-7 board and Jack called with K-J. Bash flashed an Ace before mucking.

How much is he up to?

I am now on board to offer my help
first hand I catch Amjad Mohammed limps the cutoff.
Andrew Symeou, who has been pretty active from what I understand makes it 6k
Mohammed to 22k, Symeou calls
Flop -  Aspades Qs 6s
Amjad peeps at his hand -  Ahrt Ac and checks
Symeou puts Amjad all in for about 45k, Amjad snaps
Symeou -  Js Ts
Amjad "ah come on, let me get there one time"
Turn -  Qd
Symeou still with a one outer, but misses on the  2c river, Amjad doubles

Fraser Bellamy to 8k UTG
Kenny Prazer jams for 50k, Bellamy snaps
Prazer -  Ad Jc
Bellamy -  Ahrt Aspades
Aces hold, Prazer eliminated

Alex Goulder doubles up the short stack of Oliver Bibby losing with  Aspades Qs vs  Ad Kd
Goulder now down to about 40k, blinds at 1200/2400

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-a1yAuPRjdEo/T8toH1giZPI/AAAAAAAAAOU/nZANcY2wtes/s512/DSC00379.JPG)

Robert Woodcock has just been eliminated by John Engledow.

Tom Ambler just lost a chunk when he bet 17.5k on a Qc 2d 9c flop. William Anderson called and they both checked the Kc turn. Ambler bet 37200 on the Qh river after Anderson checked, but Anderson tanked and called with Td 9d, which was good.

Norrrr ffs

Simon Deadman is down to dust after he 5-bet jammed into Jamie Burland with Ahrt Jc, but Burland called with Aspades Ks and held on the 3d 4c 5c Ts 3h board.

Blinds now are 1200/2400-300.

Entries in the Satellite is currently standing at 37.

Deadman is now out after jamming 96os unopened on the button for 2.5xbb and SB Gary Streetly called with A4dd which held on a 2-2-8-J-5 board.

Late reg is open until 5:15pm

Craig Owen is not out.

He's just doubled through Hamid Toghyan.

Craig raised to 7.5k preflop and Hamid was the solitary caller in the BB. They saw a Js 9h 5h flop and Hamid checked. Craig bet 11k and I blinked.

After I blinked they were both all in!

Hamid had Jh Th for top pair/flush draw and Craig had the overpair, Kh Kd. The overpair held on a 2c turn and 3s river.

somehow Alex goulder had got himself down to around 9k as I arrive at the table he is already all in and Michael Hart in seat 1 has reraised to 20k the rest of the table fold.

Alex Ahrt Ad

Michael Kh Qs

flop - 9s Kc 5s

turn brings the spade draw 4s

luckily for Alex the river Jd gives him a slightly healthier chip stack of around 20k

Goooooooooooooooooooooooo on the Craigyyyyyy, gogogogogooooooooooooooo, pls get a better pic of him lol make him blush haha

Alex has doubled up again.

He'd been grinding and got up to about 25k when it was folded to him in the SB. He shoved Kc Td and Michael Hart in the BB made the call with 6d 6c

Flop: 2s-Jh-Qc

Turn: 9s

River: Nobody cared, Alex had won the hand despite thinking his opponent had outs!

Alex has doubled up again (I'm gonna CTRL+V this)

This time he won a flip, getting it all in pre with Js Jc vs Jack Allen's Ahrt Qs. The 5d 7h 7d Th 3c board no help for Jack.

Gogo goulder

Nice big pot for Shola Akindele

the board is 4s 7h Kh 2s  she has bet 12700

Matthew Maule in seat 4 is dwelling as I arrive, he makes the call

River - Ks

Shola shoves for 35700

Matthew thinks for a while before eventually folding

Shola shows 2c 2h and has a healthy 120,000 chips infront of her

Interesting hand
60k in the middle of  9s Ad 3c Jh 6s
Sean Robertson checks, Jamie Burland bets 44k.
Robertson asks the dealer how much he has, dealer says he can't tell him.
He then asks Burland how much he has,, Burland stays quiet.
Burland then says "the dealer can't tell you, I don't even have to tell you. They are stacked in 20's, you're a live poker player. surely you can work that out" he says sat over a pile of 20 5k chips and 20 1k chips.
Robertson finally calls, Burland announces "two pair" Robertson shows  6d 6h
"Nice catch, you did it right" says Burland down to 120k

Stack update and picture for Oliver Bibby please

She has 55k, I'll get another pic in a min

13k in the middle on  6s 9d 8s
Bash Mahmood checks, Jack Allen bets 6k.
Bash to 40k, Allen all in for 145k, Bash calls
Allen -  Aspades Qs
Bash -  Tc Td
Turn -  Qh, river  2s gives Allen the nuts as he goes close to the 300k mark

Shola raises to 6k
Andrew Tuxworth shoves for 40k with  Aspades 2s
Shola calls with  Qc Qd
Holds, she continues her serge onwards and upwards

MASSIVE POT

Andy Symeou raised to 8.5k and Bash Mahmood shoved his 75k stack. Next thing, Jack Allen shoves his 312k stack and Andy calls!

Andy: Ac Ks

Jack: Js Jh

Bash: Ts Th

No improvement for anybody on the 5c 7h 5d 9s 4c board and Jack now has >700k. Andy is decimated and Bash is headed home.

2 exits

Fraiser Bellamy has taken all Anthony Dunsford's chips after anthony's button shove didn't quite go to plan.

Also

our newbie blonde Andy has left the building

he raised pre and was called by Jack Allen

the flop was K 10 X rainbow bet call again

turn Q again Andy bets and is called

River brings J 

Andy Shoves snap called by Jack

Andy shows K 2 os

Jack had A J

and now has over 1,000,000 chips

Jack Allen WAS over 1m, now he's dipped back down after he doubled up Gavin Kan when Gavin shoved the river of a 2-J-7-A-A board with A-J and Jack mucked. Gavin now has 350k.

Update on Tom ambler?

I'm going to take a guess at 250k - difficult to tell as he likes stacking his chips all the way up to the ceiling

LOST ONE!!!

Caicai Huang shoved preflop and was called by the force that is Robert Boon

Caicai's Th Td was no match for Robert's Aspades Ks

Board Qh Qd 2h Js Kc

Robert now has a healthy stack of 260k

I walked past Maria sat on table Ward/Bellamy/Akindele

"Double up?" I ask

"Nope" sighed Maria

"But you have lots more chips than before!" says I

"Yeah, I managed to knock out the only person that had less chips than me!" She replies.

We think that was John Burberry. There are now 46 left so one more exit and we're down to the final 45. 27 paid.

Tar yes it tends to be stacks of about 45-55 I don't know why...

Maria is out :(

she woke up with A K in the Big blind

and it would have been rude not to call the button's shove

he turns over 10's

and with no magic happening on the flop turn or river Maria leaves us in 46th

Break time for a chip race.

Gav just doubled up - see page 8.

I didn't realise that jack had almost 300k chips when I made this call as he had just doubled Alex up 3 times, I wouldn't of committed 100 big blinds to a coin flip. The k2 hand was pure tilt.

It was nice playing with you all, and I'll see you all around very soon :)

Ps. I'm making a new twitter so you can all keep an eye on my poker antics.
@TheSymeou

And we're back

Blinds are currently 2000/4000 ante 500

I went for a wander, as you do, and as I did, Alex Goulder opened A-Q preflop. Gavin Kan flatted with 8-8 and Paul Wilson flatted in the blinds with T-T.

The flop was 8-9-3 and Alex was forced to dive out of the way as Gavin and Paul got it all in, luckily for the Golden One, as he probably would have gone broke on the A turn and 7 river.  As it happened, Gavin scooped and Paul headed home.

we lose Barry Randall in 43rd he shoved Kh Qd preflop and got called by 9d 9c

no help on the board and he is eliminated.

Would like to see Keith Johnson win this, all round good guy and great player!!

WSOP MEGA SAT Update
Players now on a short break
Surinder Sunar one of the chipleaders on 50k after rivering a boat

Chip Count for Alex, Keith, Shola and Chippyman please ISIT

He is far too wealthy to be denying us mere peasants of a shot at £50k. It will just buy his ISA's for another 5 years.

Chippyman = 0

Rubdown King.

I didnt know if he was in or out. He always shouts at me when I forget him!

He's got about £400 on the 1/2 mate

Shola - 285k
Alex - 65k
Keith - 50k

Thanks Sharples!

I just missed out on seeing the hand, but Mike Hill has doubled to 200k with  7d 7h

update on craig n tom pls, ty

Both short in chips, counts to come shortly.

Chip count and pictures of Rob Woodcock please.

Keith Johnson is out in 40th place after open-jamming 8 bigs with Q-3 unopened, and getting called by the A-J of David Kingswell.

No help for Keith on the 6-9-J-8-K board and he's headed to the rail.

Who are the 5 chipleaders please?

just approximately

Jack Allen is leading?

He bust out in 62nd

no pic sorry

craig owen update plz

We finally see some action on a  Jh Tc Qs flop
Oliver Bibby at risk for his 80k stack with  Kd 9d

We've lost Jonothon Butters

All the chips are in the middle preflop

Jonothon has Kd Qd

His caller Alex Zeligman turns over Ad 9c

the board is 2d 9h 4c Th Td

which means Butters leaves the tournament in 39th and Zeligman has 270k in chips

Craig 115k
Tom 140k



Good question.

Jack Allen is leading with approx. 700k.

Matthew Maule has 500k

William Anderson has 450k

Gavin Kan and Anthony Nicholls both have about 400k

I think they're the top 5 - lots of people on 300kish with average of 230k.

Thanks for the updates Adam and Joobs. 

Good luck to Gav 'Tunica Chump' Kan.... Take it down son and off to Vegas we goooooooooooo!!!!!

He's got about 500k now, looks VERY focused.

Alex Goulder on the same table is having fun 3-bet shoving over Ward and Allen's raises and getting it through.

Craig Owen has bust in 38th - hand details unknown.

we've lost another

Shukri Mushahwar shoves for 32k

Hamid Toghyan reraises for on the button 67k

the blinds fold

Shukri has Kd Jd

Hamid Kc Ks

board goes 3s 3h Qs 2c Jc

we lose Shukri in 37th

and Hamid now has 520k

Always enjoy a bit of speechplay
Kelly Saxby to 15k, Ant Nicholls to 55k
Saxby says "what do you want me to do"
Nicholls "I don't mind what you do.... good answer that isn't it? Means I don't want you to fold..... I don't mind what you do"
Sacby folds, Nicholls shows  Ad Kd
You were ahead says Saxby
"I know" says Nicholls

Gooooooogogogogo Pizzled! TID then go to Vegas - solo.

4 tables left - 3 of them get paid.

Tina Ainsworth is the latest exit in 36th, she shoved 7-7 on the button and Michael Hart in the BB called with A-10, which hit on the K-K-4-10-5 board.

With 30 or so left, can we have updates on at least 10?

Top 5/10 stacks, etc.

I'm being told about a QQ vs AA hand, where AA lost
Suddenly I hear Stacy coore shouting "this is sick, I hear your conversation, look at this"
I walk over to see the  Qd Qh of Kugelstadt all in against the  Ad Ac of Andrew Peters for a 240k pot, Kugelstadt at risk
Aces are holding, that is up until the  Qs on the river
Kugelstadt fist pumps, Peters gutted

Top 5 stacks are pretty much as before with the addition of Hamid Toghyan, who has 500k.

As we're close to the bubble, play has slowed notably with most hands being taken by a min-raise preflop.

Jack Allen is still the chip leader but he does have Hamid 2 to his right and I sense an explosion there soon...

We've got a break coming up soon so I'll ask DTD for chip counts. Be interesting to see how wrong I am on the top 5!

Kan raises to 11k, Amjad Mohammed all in for 100k
Dan Ward eventually gets it in covering Amjad, Kan folds
Amjad -  Aspades Qs
Ward -  Ac Ks
AK holds, Amjad out

If everyone can hang fire on posting about the guarantee issue for a few minutes, I'll attempt to split those posts off into another thread, thus leaving the update thread to focus solely on the updates.

It might take a few minutes though, so please bear with me.

Obviously, keep posting in the meantime on the update, and keep up the good work Adam and Joobs.

Thanks!

we're on a 20min break

Bubble is slooooooooooowwwww - the Boon/Bellamy hand actually took 15 minutes.

Bellamy and Boon have clashed again, this time Bellamy made it 21k pre and Boon called.

Flop was 4s 7h 2s and Boon led for 23k. Bellamy very quickly made it 101k and Boon just flat called.

They checked the 7d turn and Boon also checked the 2c river. Bellamy shoved and Boon passed.

Fraser has >500k now and Boon has 200k.

kugel update pls

wsop mega sat update

 Lee Cowmeadow is out in 9th

I missed the hand but his chips went to Tony Bedford

still on the bubble of the main?

yep still on the bubble

longest bubble ever??

(http://bubbles.org/images/longestbub.jpg)

Bubble is sooooo long!! Having fun though ;)

Any chance of some chip counts for remaining players?

1hr, 35 minutes later...

We're still on the bubble, but it's a 15 min break.

Tom Ambler just doubled through our chipleader, William Anderson, with Ts Tc vs Ahrt Jh all in preflop. Tom made a full house on the 2c Qh Qs Qc board.

The shortstack is Guy Webster, who has 6bb's. That's after a double up 20 minutes ago.

In the bubble I'd estimate we've played 15 hands since it started. Some ridiculous tanking going on to 3-bets preflop - and these aren't 3-bet shoves either.

Way to flip tom lad! Great work!!!!

~200k.

come on tom you can do it

Burland: Qh Jc

The board ran out 6c 2s Kh Jd Kc to give Burland the pot and send Coore to the cash desk to collect £675.

WSOP MEGA SAT UPDATE

slowed up here, and i'm not surprised no one want's to lose this bubble!!

at the moment a min raise will steal the blinds and jamie is doing a lot of that....

although he needs to remember that the min raise is 16k now not 12k ;)

Hamid from the cutoff makes it 20k.
Goulder to 48k
Hamid puts Alex all in for 300k, who snaps him off
Hamid -  Jd Ts
Goulder -  Aspades Qc
Flop -  Kh 8c Jd
Turn....  Td
River  9s, Goulder up to 600k

Jamie shoves his SB into Tony's BB as he has been doing every round

Tony calls

that seals the deal and we have our las vegas winners:

Congratulations guys and unlucky Tony

pic when i've run back to the other side of the cardroom

Either the end of Level 22 or our final 8.

My money is on the end of Level 22.

We have 22 players left as well as Oliver Bibby just knocked out Andrew Peters with 4-4 against Andrew's J-9. The board ran out A-8-4-Q-7 to send Andrew home in 23rd, £675 richer than when he walked through the door today.

NITTY TENDENCIES <3 SEE YOU IN VEGAS BABES. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dan Ward has just knocked out Hamid Toghyan with T-T vs A-K all in pre.

This takes Ward up to around 750k as Hamid lost most of his chips earlier vs Goulder.

Really not trying to be negative here but for a tournament that a lot of people fired 3 bullets at + multiple nights of expenses 675 seems quite a small return. Very possible this is super std tho

One of the drawbacks to re-entries. It was bad enough with only one buy in for the bigger buy ins in London. Min cash and rarely cover expenses - especially when the old woman has had two days on the slots!!

Absolutely gutted for Tonytatts, genuinely nice guy and a DTD reg - I know he will be devasted!!

Tourney technically £450+£50ish

Return for mincash norm 1.5x. So £675 seems right, cant take into account re-entry. Alot of people not re-entered.

But i get your point

but Jamie Sykes tho <3

thisssss

Hate to be a pain but can we get top 5 stacks listed if possible?

Tom Ambler is out after he 4-bet jammed for 250k preflop with FOUR and THREE, and Oliver Bibby called with Ace-Jack suited.

It was nearly sick on the 3-7-7 flop but the Ace turn and 5 river was enough to send Ambler to the cash desk.

sad times

Mark Wagstaff doubled through Jim Moult with 9-9 vs A-K all in preflop for a 250k pot. The nines held on a T-5-6-4-T board.

can see your point if you pay the entry its £500 plus travel, food etc. so just a small profit.

pretty new to the live poker myself so i suppose the payout structure is what it is and it does make it good value to satelitte in if you can (not everyone can afford the £500)

Blinds 6k/12k, Kelly Saxby jams for 285k from the Hijack
Kugelstadt calls for his 160k tourney life
Saxby -  Ks Js
Kugelstadt -  Ahrt Qh

Gl Alex and Fraser

Thanks for the well wishes lads (and chilli, pretty much owe it all to her delivering me and Patonius2000 a cup of tea on bed this morning). Oh, and min opening every hand is SOOO much fun.

See you all in vegassssssssssssss!

congrats enjoy!

Also, good luck to Alex and Jamie Burland, win it alllllllll.

Alex is over WAN MIRRRRRION chips after getting paid off to the tune of 250k with A-2 on a A-5-5-K-4 board by Kelly Saxby.

but how much did you lose?

Jim Moult just bust in 19th when he shoved Ad 5d in the SB and Jamie Burland called BvB with Aspades 6s

The board ran out 6c Kd 9d 5s Ac giving Jim the ultimate turn sweat but Jamie the pot.

Breaking down to 2 tables now.

Dan Ward has just bust Mike Hill in 18th. Dan up to 700k, Mike sat behind me in the bar.

Matt Maule check calls the bet of 66k from Fraser
Turn -  5s
check check
River -  Qs
Maule check, Fraser bets 200k
Maule finds a call, Fraser quickly shows  Jc Tc, Maule slowly mucks

MASSIVE POT!!

Jamie Burland has raised to 32k pre

Alex Goulder calls

Flop Js Qh 5d

James bets 38k

Alex calls

Turn: 9h

Jamie Checks

Alex dwells for a short while and bets 85k

Jamie sits silently, thinks and calls

River is dealt 9s

Jamie sits in complete silence and after a while starts slowly and methodically counting chips out, all the time Alex is staring dead ahead

Jamie finally bets 250k, which is pretty quickly called by Alex

Jamie Jc Jh for a rivered full house and a 1.3m chipstack

Alex Kh Td and is now down to around 750k

LET PALETHORPE GET A STACK SO WE CAN SEE BURLAND-PALETHORPE-GOULDER WARS PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Jamie Burland continues to pad his stack after he raised UTG with one caller in BB Jack Allen.

They saw a Jh Th kc flop and both checked.

They then both checked the 6h turn.

The river put the four-flush out there (the 3h) and Allen checked. Burland bet 20k and Allen sigh-called - right to, as Burland had 9h 9s for the flush.

Heard really good things about Burland this weekend. He seems to go about his business really quietly. Would be good to see him Golder and Dan Ward on the stream

Dan Ward raised to 36k UTG+1 and Gavin Kan, who has been card dead for the last 3 hours, shoved from the BB. Ward called and his 3h 3d was ahead of Kan's Kc 6s.

However, the board ran out 9c Ts Kh 9d Ac to send the pot the way of the man from Luton.

(Luton 1-0 Leicester)

 Jamie Burland=quality player and a very nice guy.

weeee

Marvvvvvelous

Yeh but he's in Luton so Dan wins at life

haha

I would like to give you a hand I can report from my table... but unfortunately I can't
Most action I've seen is a check fold on a flop after a 3 bet pre, play seems to be moving along very slowly.
Blinds at 10k/20k/3k, average at 540k

My table is is a bit better with the odd 3-bet shove from Jack Allen, most hands being won with min-raises preflop though.

As I say that I see Bibby make a 4 bet to 300k
surely we could finally see so....  Neil Barron folds

It would be good to get a little more detail into what is happening as I like others have no idea.

What are people's stacks?
What are current blinds?
How Many are left?
Who is left?
What is average?

etc, etc.

+ pay outs pls :)

Bibby makes it 40k, Fraser calls
Barron all in for 120k, quick rejam from Bibby, Fraser folds
Bibby -  9h 9d
Barron -  Kd Jd
No help for Barron as he is eliminated 17th for £1,439
(knew curse of the commentator would come in handy at some point)

The player list has been posted within the last 10 posts.

I know this may sound a bit petulant, but it's not meant to. I used to give a lot of information out like this but got told that it was "boring" and not to bother, just report on the big hands and the colour side of things.

As it happens, Shola Akindele just doubled through Dan Ward when Ward raised 9s 9h UTG and Shola shoved Js Jc. Ward felt priced in to call and did not bink on the 2h 4s Qd 7s 5s board.

TD Kev just came over and asked me to write that "Ryan is the worst tournament director ever". Evening, Ryan :)

What are their favourite foods?
where are they all staying tonight?

Were the tables split in accordance with aggression factors???????  Table 12 has all the nits..............

Wow.

Ward just open-jammed 350k from the BTN with Kc Qs.

Sadly for him, Jamie Burland was sat behind with Aspades Kh which held on the 6c 6s Jh 7s 5s board.

Dan Ward exits in 16th place.

Shit. UL Dan :(

they're poker players ffs they don't eat real food!!
probably in their cars ;)
far to nitty to be on red bull (other energy softdrinks are available)

keep up the good work btw

Yeah your doing a great job. Its hard to find stuff to say when its just raise fold raise 3b fold etc. Keep it up!

Alex Goulder is keeping his head above water with a few min raises pre but just had to pass when Kelly Saxby 3-bet to 125k.

On this table Goulder and Burland are easily the most active.

Wagstaff all in for 200k, Maule calls leaving himself about 170k behind
Wagstaff -  Ts Tc
Maule -  9d 9h
Fraser says he folded  Ad Jd so he didnt like the  Ahrt Js Jh flop
10's held, Wagstaff up to 400k

Jamie Burland is a one man wrecking machine at the moment as he has just eliminated another player.

He raised the cutoff to 44k and Gavin Kan shoved for about 250k, which Burland had to call with Ac 8c.

Kan showed Js Jh and was happy with the 2h 7c 6h flop. The Aspades turn though was a killer for the Lutonian, who headed home in 15th after the 4c river was no help.

Burland is now nearing 2m chips of the 9.2m in play with 14 left!

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ohgizYJBMNo/T8wFVt1FkuI/AAAAAAAAAQI/DSOiI7gMcDo/s640/DSC00393.JPG)

225k in the middle on  Th 9s 4s 8h
Fraser bets 164k, Bibby calls
River -  Kc
Fraser playing 500k makes a cheeky 200k bet, Bibby calls
Fraser keen on seeing Bibby's hand, Bibby shows  Ac Tc, Bellamy shows  Kd Jd

doesnt seem like bibby should have to show first. especially after you get there vs him.

He didn't. Fraser was keen but the dealer made Fraser show first. Bibby was steamed and showed his AT in frustration.

shortstack Maule gets it in with  Qs 7h
Anderson calls with  6c 6d
"ok just don't let him hit on th eflop" says Maule
Flop -  6h "ok hearts then"  Ahrt 2h
Turn -  7s, river  Kc
Maule out in 14th position for £1,439

ok :)

Palethorpe just open-jammed for 218k from the cutoff and Goulder rejammed the button.

Palethorpe: Ad 4d

Goulder: Kh Tc

The board ran out Qc Ac 8s 9h 2s giving Palethorpe the double up and knocking Alex down to about 340k.

unlucky gav, glgl Alex and Fraser.

FFS Alex.

Keep Going and GL to Fraser.

PALETHORPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.


ul goulder, spin it up.

Goulder just shoved 340k over the top of a Palethorpe 40k raise and got it through.
