In contrast, Neil 'Bad Beat' Channing is riding a big wave, moving all-in from the big blind to a small blind raiser as I was talking to him about how he got his 55k stack. The small blind conceded and Neil was allowed to finish his story. "It was an interesting one actually, and I'd appreciate the thoughts of the forum", he requested. "I saw a family A-J-K rainbow Flop from the blind with A-J and, after everyone had checked, bet out 2.8k. A pretty tight guy, who'd limped under the gun suspiciously, flat called, and then bet the Ace Turn. I called and we both saw a blank River, a 4 I think it was. I thought maybe he'd limped pre-flop with A-K, perhaps Jacks or Kings, Aces was less likely, but I thought he was strong. With this in mind, I thought I'd check in case he was huge, or at least to give him a chance to bluff if he wasn't. He bet 5k, and I actually decided to make it 13k and he called with Pocket Kings. I'm not sure about my re-raise on the River, Keith (Hawkins) says he would have just flat called."

So viewers, would you have called on the River or stuck in a re-raise as Neil did? Let us know your thoughts...

Something doesn't make sense here...according to that board, Channing has a full house, so it would have to be AK for the other guy to win...he can't have Aces as there's only one left. If he has Jacks, he loses. If he has Kings, he loses. Therefore, only AK can beat him. I re-raise.

hello and thankyou for the updates.can you pls let me know if rudders is still in and how the other welsh boys are doing,esp iwan,paul curtis,mr romanello and ude.also mike bolous.gutted i wasnt there this yr .gl to you all

Hi, I've noted the recent request but will have to look for them on my next outing.

Thanks Snoops.

Indeed guys, keep on coming. One question: Any updates on Kevin O'Leary?

"As 2006 World Champion Jamie Gold tried to enter the Amazon Room he found he didn't have his seat card. And as security won't let anyone inside without their seat card, that posed a bit of a problem. Gold wanted to go to the registration window but security wouldn't let him in without I.D. Well, there are HUGE posters of every Main Event champion hanging around the room and Gold reached inside the frame of the door, pointed up, and said, "Dude, look up, that's me!" Other people waiting outside the tournament room verified Gold's identity and the guard let him inside to get a new seat card."

That made me laugh, last year's champion and the door staff didnt recognise him!

I min raised mainly because that table was very tight...especially me. Think I'd folded solidly for 30 minutes before that. I agree with the second min raise though, should have put more in.

Had the other guy at LPA pre flop, but LAG post flop...my image at the table is TAG.

Another update from Bolton:

Down to 4, Carol Cotterill finishing 5th. Chips are pretty much even apart from one short stack who is on approximately 50k whilst the other 3 are on about 140-150k each.

XXXXX to Matt..

Your posts are officially hindering the updates.  That avatar is rather addictive....

LOL, I can see why!

Any ideas what the chip counts are?

Snoopy, those figures were based on 144 players paying £1000 to enter. As there were only 72, I worked out the prize money to be:

1st = £15,840 (Plus £4,000 added by Blue Square)
2nd = £10,560
3rd = £7,200
4th = £5,760
5th = £4,800
6th = £3,840

This is on top of the original £2,000 each player received yesterday for winning their tables.

If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but I think thats probably going to be the prize money.

And my money would be on Danielle Allen to win

I've just had a phone call from someone in Bolton, they are down to 7.

Excellent news, come on Danni!

Jamie, who finished 12th, if Kevin O'Connell finished 11th?

My weekend is probably gonna be spent wishing I was at Poker 6 (trust me to finish 2 places off qualifying) and playing occasional Internet poker.

Gl to all the blondes playing Poker 6.
