Morning guys,

Great updates as usual.  I am skiving from work - feeling poorly.  If truth be told I was shattered yesterday after 13 hrs or so of a solid cash game, i got no afternoon nap and decided to take today off as i have a holiday the morra!!!

Kep up the excellent work and don't let moaners like puzzler get you down!!

I don't know about Mateyboy, Kev, but I remember somewhere back in the mists of time someone asked for a Chris Moorman update:

Saw him in the break (which I was actually using to collar players      )
He said he'd been playing against John Gale a good bit - which resulted in a loss, a tilt, and a win, like this:
He held , and raised (he raises a lot, by the way).  John Gale called.  Flop:  4 5 6, which Chris quite liked, but he check-called John's bet.  The turn brought a Jack, and this time John bet bigger, while Chris made what he called "a stubborn call, figuring the bigger bet meant he may have hit the Jack."
River:  Ace, which slowed John down with his J9.

Result:  A tilted Moorman, who raised even more.  Then another pair of Eights came his way, and John Gale called his inevitable raise.
Flop:   Chris bet out three quarters of the pot, John called.
Turn:     Again, Chris bet and got called.
River:    Now Chris checked, and got a chunky 3,600 bet from John.  Not scared of the backdoored flush, he called, and was rewarded by seeing John's losing busted flush draw - .

He's on around 18k.

And here's Bracelet-Winner John Gale, who apparently gave young Chris a bit of a moan about his penchant for small pocket pairs...

Bhups Kohli is playing today - after his success in previous events it bodes well for his rocky style this early on in the Big One... he's created a nice solid image for himself over the last six hours, and built up to 30k while doing so.

He said that earlier, "everyone was after the table maniac's chips." 
"So who got them?" I asked.
"I did!"
And how did it happen?  Well, apparently a raising-happy guy made it 250 to go (blinds 25/50) - the same raise he'd made when he'd found legitimately huge hands in the past.  Bhups had and decided to "call, and if no Queen on the flop, get out of the way." He'd already open-folded pocket Queens preflop before, so I believe this was his intention.  The big blind (chip leader) also called, and the flop came:  .

ProbableAcesMatey bet out 1,000, and not liking the chip leader being in there with those draws, Bhups raised another 3k.  The chip leader got out of the way, and Matey went for it- all in with .

While I go and search for Snoops (in order to throw him out for the night - he's toast, and I need him alive tomorrow), here's a quick quiz - to which true Fashion Violator does this foot belong?  I'm timing you...

Good stuff Snoopy!!

Hey does anyone know where I can get a list of players that have been eliminated from the main event?, am finding it hard to locate on the net.

If you're wondering what happened to Nick Gibson's stack, it was sliced in half when he checked top pair A-K on an Ace-rag-6 flop, thereby allowing 6-7 on the button to catch up when the Turn brought a 6.
