[AlrightJack]

Dave Colclough has left the building, which can only mean one thing and no, its not that he needs to feed the meter for his car.

[AlrightJack]

[Queen of Hearts]

I'd really appreciate it if you could wish Stuart Nash 'Good Luck' from me, please.

Thank you.

 

[AlrightJack]

All the good wishes have been passed on. Chilli and Stuart both say thanks to their respective well wishers.

[NoflopsHomer]

Wish  and Chilli all the best from me, they are both in good form atm.

[AlrightJack]

They have started playing level 5 now and there are 49 players remaining. The chip leader at this stage is Paul Parker, who uncharactericically called a raise with  and two further deuces flopped, shipping a big pot his way. Further unlikely hands followed and he is on over 50,000 chips now. The average is 15,100. Martin Green is on about 30k and running well.

Red Dog - well above average but not quite twice the average
Jeff Burke - twice the average stack
Dave clark - down to the felt

Peter Singleton - above average
Jeff Rogers - above average
Stuart Nash - average

Tikay, short stacked after another misread moved in with  on a

  flop

He was in for only about 2,500 and was called by someone with 

The turn was , the irrelevant river

C'est la vie, as they say in Brighton.

[AlrightJack]

Joe Grech is out.

Others to fall earlier while I was eating, drinking and generally making merry included two of the three blue square qualifiers, Ben Battle and Sid Harris.

[AlrightJack]

Just to clarify, Sid and Ben were not the Blue Square qualifiers. They fell in addition to them. In fact it has been brought to my attention that Nicolas Risdale was actually a Green Joker Poker qualifier, but as that is a skin of Blue Square, I guess he still counts.

[Queen of Hearts]

More 'photos would be great but maybe that's not possible.
