Phil Laak has just doubled up.

A-K vs Q-Q

He's still got less than his starting stack though.

[snoopy1239]

Henning Granstad -- 15,500
Rolf Woods -- 21,500
Frodo Frageli -- 6,000
Hans Talstad -- 34,000
David Chavda -- 10,000
TJ Cloutier -- 25,225
Jennifer Tilly -- 6,275
Neil Channing -- 11,500
Daniel Negreanu -- 16,800
David Callaghan -- 5,875

[snoopy1239]

One of the chip leaders is Norwegian Hans Talstad

To say he's had his fair share of good fortune would be a slight understatement.

First of all he flops a full house with A-7 on an A-7-7 board. Mateyboy with Q-Q moves all-in (?!)

Then he forces a guy with A-Q to fold the same hand as him on an A-rag-rag-rag-Q board

Finally, he busts Pocket Queens when his T-9 on a Ten high flop turns another Ten.

Ash Hussain -- 2,700
Phil Cooklin -- 11,725
Mrs Marty Wilson -- 12,500
Radu Buton -- OUT
Chris Moorman -- 13,000

Trevor Reardon is facing a 1.5k bet on a board of with about 1.5-2k in the pot.

After a lenghty dwell, he opts for the fold.

His chips were mixed up, so it was tricky to see how many he had and I didn't want to ask due to him losing a pot so recently.

I think he has around 6k though.

[snoopy1239]

Brian Wilson is on 15k and looking at ease.

He also told me that, contrary to CardPlayer having him at 12k at one point, Dave did actually exit this years WSOP beforehand with a K-K vs A-Q accident.

[snoopy1239]

David 'Bazzaboy' Barrie-- 19,850

Cloutier, Negreanu and Beevers still up there with 20k plus.

[snoopy1239]

Just to let you know how it's going down at Negreanu's table.

He's pretty much playing every hand, and his table seems incredibly meek.

except for this one guy, who is doing the extreme with the view that 'If I don't play any flops with him I can't be outplayed'. A Kill Phil strategy I suppose. I don't get it personally, but this is what happened.

Daniel raised from Trap 2 for 500 (blinds 100/200) Mateyboy on the button moves all-in for 7.5k (!!)

Guess what, Daniel folded. Could be a frustrating day if every does that and Daniel doesn't pick up any hands.

Anyhow, he's doing well with 22,900

[snoopy1239]

Neil Channing is currently on 12,475

On his table, two guys managed to get their chips in with J-T and J-Q

The board was 9-Q-3-8-T

split pot

[snoopy1239]

German update now:

George 'The Panzer' Danzer (Barcelona EPT semi-finalist) is on 16,500

Meanwhile, Jan Heitman (runner up to John Kabbaj at the Vic) is OUT after calling a seven k river bet with a eight set of eights, only to find his opponent sitting there with a rivered flush.

[snoopy1239]

Sitting just two seats away from one another are Phil Cooklin (regular Luton player - TightEnd should know him well) and MAd Marty Wilson's half (apologies, not sure of the forename).

Anyhow, the former has 11,325 and the latter has 12,250

[snoopy1239]

Jennifer Harman survives after moving her shortstack all-in against Mateyboy.

Both players turned over Pocket Jacks.

[snoopy1239]

Jennifer Tilly is OUT

[snoopy1239]

Well, it looks like Jennifer Harman is gone. She was down to less than 2k anyhow.
