Iwan Jones doubles up in super quick time.

Battle of the blinds - A-Q vs A-6

[Djinn]

Oh the action!  Don't know where to look - three eliminations in the first three minutes!

T. Townley, K. Quinlan and Mrs. Bambos are OUT, the latter falling to Lalit Khajuria's with her , all-in preflop.

[Djinn]

Also, Adios Mike Magee... crikey, and all before breakfast!

[snoopy1239]

And the hot early action continues...

Arshad Hussain raises to 3.7k from Trap 2, D Taylor smoothcalls a couple more seats along, only for Alli Mallu to make a deep reach from the Big Blind.

He reraised, well... a big column.

But it didn't matter, both opponents folded up like cheap suitcases.

I was sure Mallu was messing around, but he smugly reveals Pocket Kings.

"He's a card rack," comments Taylor. "Always has Queens, Kings or Aces."

Er... not sure that's true. Remember the 8-3 from yesterday?...

[Djinn]

Young Simon Renoldi, supershortstack, just climbed to the dizzy heights of 6,000 after his beat Iwan Jones .  Two fours arrived, incidentally.

Iwan, meanwhile, is up to 16,000 which in his own words sets him up to be "a contender."

[snoopy1239]

Kev forced Jen and I to eat a full English breakfast.

Meanwhile, Alan McLean and Xanthos Bambos have bitten the dust.

[snoopy1239]

Preflop action result in D Taylor and Lalit K seeing an expensive flop.

Both check the board.

Taylor then 4k bets the Turn and Lalit calls after a momentary dwell.

River =

Taylor checks the table hard, Lalit bets 10k and Taylor calls.

Lalit shows and Taylor chucks his cards in disgust.

[snoopy1239]

Barry Neville is OUT.

All-in preflop vs Alli Mallu

A-Q v A-K

Queen on the flop, but Alli Mallu makes a flush on the River.

Both men celebrate, Barry unaware that Mallu had rivered the flush.

Mallu now the big chip leader.

[Djinn]

As I was returning from breakfast, Paul Jackson was walking the other way.  "Bye," he said.  Infer from that what you will.

[Djinn]

Double up for Womble (pretty spectacular, too):

Dave Clark made it 4k in mid position, while Paul Alterman re-raised on the button (a lot - committing himself for his whole 25k).  Short stack Womble on the small blind looked at one card and took the plunge.  Dave folded, and Womble said, "I have one overcard to your Tens..." showing the .
Paul showed
Womble squeezed the other card, sliding out the perfectly-timed !

Flop:    "Keep it coming," murmured Womble.
Turn: 
River: 

And Womble now has around 15k.

[snoopy1239]

Alli Mallu is the chip-leader with 189,000

[snoopy1239]

Table shortstacker, Edward MacLeod, has doubled up to 13,500 courtesy of Luke Patten.

Patten made the initial raise with A-7, MacLeod moved all-in with A-T, and Patten made the obligatory call.

No 7 arrives and the Scot doubles up.
