$2,500 PLH (D1)/$1,500 NLH (D2) - Live Update - Interactive

$5,000 Stud

While everyone else is on a break, the Stud has seen a flurry of eliminations; I think they're down to just three tables, and I last saw both Andy Black and Garry Bush heading for the exit.  The latter made that international across-the-throat sign of the bust, and said "I was 25th or something.  And unlucky."

I'm really not sure which one I want to be here...

Julian Gardner is OUT.

MB raised with K-Q, Julian reraised with A-7, MB put him all in, and Julian called.

King on the flop

Back to the tourneys, and they are going again - here's John Hewston when his stack was at its height - just going back to see if I can get some counts.

John Shipley -- 54.5k
Iwan Jones -- 30.5k
Joe Hachem -- 15.5k

And by the sounds of it, the Aussie fanbase are here in full force, loud and proud.

They're here, they love beer, get used to it!

Great updates Jen + Snoops. Thanks!

OK, before I go and stand behind the spectators (who are thinning somewhat) I would like to share with you what it's like to stand outside by the smoking area/food tent during a break in one of these comps.  There is a flood of poker noise, so you just hear:
"And then I pick up pocket fives..."
"This donkey raises in late position.."
"I value bet the turn..."
"I'm totally short stacked..."
"Goddam Ace comes on the river..."
"I'm up about 5k..."
"I'm down about 5k..."
"It was such a sick beat..."

You get the idea.  But mingled in I heard this odd set of phrases: "Mosquitoes are scary, super scary...and when those monkeys steal the car..."  Sometimes it's great to just sit and let it all sweep over you.  In fact, out I go.

Successful online player, Richard Redmond (aka 'Squelch'), is currently on 32k.

Hewston is sat next to Negreanu. Both are struggling. Hewston has 10k, Negreanu just 6k. Across the table from them is the confident figure of Citrone, who appears to be on around the 30k mark.
