Another spate of exits

Emyr Lewis all in with A-5 against Paul mcTaggart's A-Q on A-Q-3-4, drawing dead on the turn. McTaggart 800,000

Barry McMahon knocked out Kenny Prazer. McMahon min raised to 20,000 with A-A. One caller. Prazer ships 180,000 with 6-6. When McMahon only calls, he knows he's dead. Indeed he is

Jamie Dale with J-J Knocks out David Hughes with A-9. Jack on the turn.

hows he drawing dead 2 gives him the strgt

because I meant to type a 6.

So the announcement comes over the tannoy

"We are doing a National Sweepstake, 20 quid a head, first come first served. 40 horses stick your hand up if you want a ticket"

About 400 people in the building, how many hands went up?

Nearest the pin wins a copy of my self help book "Voluntary Work the Tighty Way"

0, zero, ziltch, nada.

Do people think this is the toughest field of the week? certainly not soft lol

By far. 4 times as many decent players here than 1a and 1b put together. Always gonna be the case that's why the smart people elected not to play 1c. At least someone will have done our spade work and knocked a high percentage of  out before tomorrow.

if all the smart peeps opted not to play 2 day, how come as you say there r 4x as many better players here to day ?/

Six players left in.


Dan Corbett and Mark Physick both the local lads from Blackburn and Southport respectively.


Obviously they're the only ones who didn't bring jackets.

Note the southerners are all layered up.

andy peters local lad very good player i think hes a solictor

George has sent Terry Owen home

Terry had A10, picked up a flush draw on flop but George's 77 held and even tripped up on river to more feel good factor.

George on 170K

are u sure this time about terry lol

So... two hands mucked preflop after both players declared allin.

What was the ruling?






Both hands declared dead and both players given all of their chips back.


John Miller not happy at all. Even Jack seems suprised that John doesn't even get Jack's first raise in his chip stack. Opinions?

know doubt another ian bryant cockeyed rulling ,

cheers GOB lol looks like your dinner date will b back on

hows mark physick doin mouth,u know if e wins he will ask u out to dinner lol

Tim Blake just button raised, got itthrough.

Asked him if he had about 45k now, he says no, you know me, Ive dwindled! About 25K it looks like. Lot of players here rooting for Tim today, would be a marvellous story.


John Woods gone.


barry Grime on about 200K, hasnt lost a hand yet, although has only played two.

barry will donk them off as usual

any early movement from Karl Mcdonald please?

yes hes just run off to the loo looks like it could b a number two lol

Glen Story busted out to Nick Baghai, 9 10 on a 8 9 10 flop vs a set of 10s.

George, eso and david are all uber grinding short stacks of about 7K.

And that's a generous chip count.

Jake Cody on 16K. Ben jackson two seats to his left has about 40K.

Most dads pass on their looks to their sons.

Ben must be thanking his lucky stars that Paul Jackson was good enough to pass on his poker skills instead.

Paul also on about 40K.


mouth you leave them young boys alone you ought to be ashamed of ureself lol

Mark Physick on about 7k.

George on 17k.

Eso kral on 15,100. His moustache has improved about as much as his stack over the past four hours.

Dave Forththistle on about 13K.

Howard Plant, local car park magnate and popular player, nul point. He's off to the cash tables, to the delight of everyone already sat there.


thght he was banded for life,just shows wat money can do for u
