[snoopy1239]

From Pool 1, table 7 is down to just 3 players after Francis Thomas elmimated Lee Atherton and seriosuly dented Luke Smith.

Smith =
Atherton =
Thomas =

gave Luke a few more outs, but it wasn't to be as the Turn brought a , and the river the .

[snoopy1239]

John Falconer raises all-in for 7k under the gun.

Russell Cawley folds jacks.

Falconer shows nines.

[snoopy1239]

Steve Read has two thirds of the chips in play on Table 8.

[snoopy1239]

Rick Dacey is OUT.

A-Q could outdraw Paul King's pocket fives.

3 players left on that table

[snoopy1239]

James Dempsey is OUT.

He flopped a nut flush with on a flop, and then a pair with the turn, but a blank hit the river and Andrew Massey's stood up.

[snoopy1239]

All tables are now on a break.

Luke Smith's table is down to 2 - Luke has 29.700, & Matey Boy therefore has, obviously, 6,300.

[snoopy1239]

Just 2 players left on Steve Read's table.

4th placer, Rod Macdonnell, raised 1.2k with a 4k stack, Kevin Moore reraised all-in for 10k, takes an age to call.

J-9 v A-Q

A-Q held up.

Richard Murnaghan then took 3rd when Steve raised his big blind from the button with K-3 suited. Murnaghan smooth called, as did his other opponent. Steve won on a 7-6-3-3-2 board, after moving in on the flop and being called by Murnaghan's A-7.

So, heads up, with Steve holding a big chip lead. About 3.5-1

[snoopy1239]

Paul Parker and Y Eminoglu move all-in on a flop of K-2-3. Both players have K-2.

[snoopy1239]

Steve Walmsey is OUT, leaving just 3 players on the table, 2 of whom are recognisable; John 'Texas' Hewston and successful online player salmolnoyster (how the hell do you spell salmoln??)

[snoopy1239]

And the first player to win his table is blondeite Steve 'Card Shark' Read.

His opponent was highly successful player Kevin Moore, a chap who has won a rather impressive 5 WSOP seats for this year's Main Event.

Steve raises from the button (and small blind for that matter) with K-8 off. Kevin Moore calls.

Flop =

Kevin checks, Steve bets 600, Kevin calls.

Turn =

Kevin bets out 600 this time, Steve raises, and Kevin flatcalls.

All the chips went in on the river, with Steve taking the pot, and the whole table, with his full house against Kevin's flush (6-7 of diamonds)

Y Eminoglu is OUT
