$2,500 PLH (D1)/$1,500 NLH (D2) - Live Update - At A Glance

[snoopy1239]

Tony Chessa raises preflop, MB next door calls.

Flop =

Chessa moves all-in for 825, last hand before the break.

MB takes an age to call, even though he only has about 500 left. (I am unsure as to why he didn't reraise preflop if was going to play the hand)

Eventually, he folds, leaving Chessa to flip over pocket Kings.

[snoopy1239]

Howard Lederer is OUT.

All-in preflop with tens.

Outdone by Cloutier's queens.

Chessa folded Jacks.

Not sure if this was reported, but Dave Colclough exited a while back.

No sign of him now and he tends to make a quick exit.

John Shipley is on 27k after his 3.5k bet with A-7 was called on board of Q-7-2-7-8

[snoopy1239]

Just 26 left in the $1,500 No Limit Hold 'Em Freezout.

Padraig Parkinson is comfortable on 150k, Rob Hollink less so with 75k. Average is around 100.

Roland De Wolf is down to 10k after experiencing the dizzy heights of 26.

He ran K-4 and 7-7 into A-A and J-J (not sure which way around)

Mr. Texas has the large tower thing going again (picture coming if I can sneak one) - perhaps I was ungenerous in my 28k estimate - the megatower is the most tricky form to count... Anyway, he just benefitted from against .  I'm not sure what he was getting at when he told me, "the King came on the flop, but then...a Queen came!" but he seems happy.
