Paul King, who tells me that unfortunately he's had, to put it mildly, some car trouble recently, is off the mark with over 20k already(!) which puts him near the top of the early leaders, which is all as well because he's "got to win it to replace the car."

He's "slowplayed pocket Tens" spiking a set on the flop, and turning a house, while his opponent seemed intent on re-raising his check-raise with AQ... Then another set, this time the apt Kings, and he's raced ahead.

Hi guys, the B team is here too, in the shape of me. I'm here representing Blue Square but will pipe up every now and again with a few updates.

Anyway, here's an update of my nightmare getting here today. Last night I went to the local car hire place to pick up a car that had been ordered and pre-paid by Blue Square. There was a horrific queue and there were 26 people ahead of me. I settled down to wait, reading the evening paper. About an hour later, there were still 10 people ahead of me when I realised that my driving license was not in my wallet, as it should be. So, I hurried home, hoping to find it and rejoin the queue before my number was called. An hour later, having ripped my flat apart I still had not found it. By now they would have closed. Another hour later and I'm still none the wiser as to the wheareabouts of my licencse. I also now realise that a few other important bits of paper are also missing (no, not rizlas) and that maybe I was a bit hasty in doing a clear out of the flat a few days earlier. Anyway, I resigned myself to not finding it and having to get the train instead. Ordinarily I don't mind going by train, but not when I've got loads of merchandise with me.

So, this morning I'm about to leave to get the train and as I opened the front pocket of my suitcase to put something in, there, staring me in the face, was my driving license. It must have been the only place in my whole flat I had not checked. A quick call to the car hire place and yes, they can still rent me the car. So, I think my problems are over - not so - when I get to the car hire place I discover another horrific queue. An hour later I'm getting served, only to be told that the car hire was not fully paid for and they will have to swipe £550 off my credit card before they let me drive off with a car. Oops, this is why I had it pre-paid - as I am not (by choice) the owner of a credit card. Anyway, 20 mins of arguing, phonecalls and a contact lense popping out of my eye later and its all sorted. Now all I had left to contend with was a 220 mile drive. There were 5 hours left before the tournament got underway. I made it, just.

Do it!  You can hang out in the shadowy corner, if you're lucky... and you can wish Barry Good Luck in a more personal, direct sort of way...

RED-DOG just encountered one of those 'I thought the bet was only this much, how do I ask if I have to keep that in without looking weak'

His opponent at the time was Nadhim Lodhi and the bet was 2.4k into a board of Two Clubs

Tom didn't spot the cheeky purple chip, and chucked in 1.4k, only then to be informed by the dealer that it's 2.4k to call.

There was a pause for a while, before Tom decided to ask if he was obliged to call, clearly not fancying paying out the extra thousand.

Knowing that his opponent might spot his weakness and push him off the winning hand on the River with a big bet, Tom, IMO, wisely decided to fold a strong, but very beatable 9-2.

The 1.4k was returned to his stack.

Just been informed that Nadhim held 9-7 for a bigger two pair.

Good fold!
