a LOT of shortstacks in the room happy we’ve reached the top 50

[Taylor made]

Taylor made

Guy Taylor has been going along nicely as we go under 70 players left

He opened to 160,000 at 40-80k and a shorter stack in the big blind shoved for 440,000

Quick think and a call and Taylor finds himself with A-Jss v K-Qo to knock a player out

An Ace on the flop seals the deal, Taylor now on over 1.5m

[A long hand]

A long hand

i was watching before the break

Warrey Aspey from Liverpool raised to 140,000 at 30-60k

shortstack Paul Mallett all in 170,000

in the big blind Aman Pau all in 1.27m

This prompts an agonised 10 minute contortion from Aspey, for most of his stack

prodding Pau for information, saying he had a massive hand, banging his heel into the floor in frustration

eventually he folded

Mallett 10-10 trebled through Pau A-K

Aspey says he folded the same hand as Pau

Down to 100

Unsurprisingly the pace has quickened after the bubble. We’ve lost 30 players in the elvel after and there is a long queue at the payout desk

Rob Sherwood has been nursing a shortstack and just took his KJ v 77

10-9-7-2-Q to river the double up

meanwhile i saw an interesting hand

Simon He opened to 50,000

Neil Leicester called on the button

John Hird shoved 200,000 in the big blind

He called

Leicester now calls off around 40% of his stack with A-6 to take both on

He A-Jcc

Hird 10-10

after a prolonged bubble

we are in the money with 135 left at 20-40k, average 700,000

trying to spot the exit across 16 tables, i found myself at one end of the card-room while the exit took place two tiers away

i followed the action from “oohs” and “aaahs” until the TD announced

“well done everyone you are now in the money”

for £500.

and a big cheer went across the card-room. From all but one person.

chip leader might be Raine Hillson

She just knocked out a player, all the chips in on A-5-8-4

She had A-J, covering her opponent comfortably

Opponent A-4

River 5 to counterfeit the two pair

As is the way of things these days, he stood up, asked the dealer not to clear the cards away for a second, took a picture of the community cards, posted it as a facebook status update!
