[hotdog]

cmon the kid legend how many do they  play down to tonight

[Djinn]

Chandra Khajuria 17,000

They are playing til 4am, I was told, which seems pretty harsh considering they're back at 3pm tomorrow whatever number they get to tonight

[hotdog]

should be around 35 players left tonight then.  jen r u at luton next week

[Djinn]

Most likely - probably in a semi-official capacity - might ditch updating and play one   

[Ironside]

i'd say 40 blonidite comp time

wohoooooooooo i just flopped a stright flush wheel in a PLO8 game

problem is even though it was raised preflop and the turn showed the board as A24d2s i still got no action on river

[Ironside]

but showing it means that they aint calling my bluffs now

[Djinn]

I was just informing someone that Harry Demetriou was near the chip leader with 40k, when they said "I have 59,000." This turned out to be Edward Moncada, who won the WSOP bracelet this year for the 2000 PLHE. He is indeed the chip leader, and is worth keeping an eye on...

Other chip news:

Imraan Ladak  6,500
Mike Magee   16,000
Greg Amoils   12,000
Achilleas Kallakis 9,300
Burnley John  8,225
Channing     2,100
Bruce Atkinson 15,000
Dan Alspach   13,400

Stuart Nash has been moved to Tikay's table with 16,000 in chips.

Scratch that - Tikay's "had a bit of an accident."  Looks like he'll be assisting, if I can wangle it.

more chip counts now u can go get them and tikay can keep us up 2 date

[Djinn]

Tikay has left it to me to describe his exit - Attempting to get back in it he found AK on the button and raised Burnley John's 500 to 1500 and was called by John and Dan Alspach.  The flop came 9 5 5 and he went all-in when it was checked to him.  Sadly he was up against a pair of Tens and received no help.  Ah well.

There is a new table of doom - Nouri, Harry D, Liam Flood,  The Camel, Simon N, Smurfit, Mickey Wernick, Lucy Rokach.

Chip counts coming after players return from break, which is now.
