I was just on the phone to grandad during the 5 min break to let him know that we were up to 81 runners for tonights blonde Bash 3 Freeroll (9pm in case you were wondering;) ) ... all of a sudden grandad went all animated and escited, it turns out that Maureen (the Nun) approached him and gave him a hug.

Grandad gave Maureen the phone and said "someone on here who wants to talk to you" Maureen says hello and I reply .. "hello, is that the gorgeous Nun"  she says ... "is that Robert" !!!  when i say "no you daft bint its Kev" she says "the voice was so posh i was sure it was Robert" LOL LOL LOL  

Im chuffed yet gutted .... Chuffed that anyone could ever think of me as posh ... and Gutted that anyone could confuse me with a dodgy sweater wearing sheep botherer

Hewston, has had his problem and is now OUT.

He moved his shortstack all-in with but ran into R Mulla's domineering

Er, not the best of flops for John.

While Snoopy brings you the latest, I just found this picture from earlier of a slightly shamefaced Tikay wincing at the way he made his comeback - but he's settled down now, and isn't freezing up as may have been feared...

[Djinn]

The short stacks have been surviving, as in the case of microstacked Paul Hatton with his defeating the valiant , and much more than that, trebling up - like Paul King.

Brian Medley raised to 8k preflop, got a call from Mick Fletcher, and Paul with just 11k on the small blind made the push.  Two callers, unsurprisingly. At this point Tikay says, "You could treble up!" and Paul replies, "I will."
Flop:    Brian checks, and Mick bets him off it with 13,000 and .  This must have delighted Paul with his - a treble up indeed.
"See Tikay - I'm winning this now."

[Redbull]

Yes I exited 22nd, stayed alive for a while nicking with complete garbage then look down to find 88 - best hand so far and had to make a move with just 8 BB's left. No match for Iqbal's pocket 10's and no 3rd snowman to save me.

Please pass on a huge  to Tikay. Generous as ever he swapped 5% before we started the final day even though I was shortstacked - sorry to let you down! Heart of gold and really made me feel at ease when I arrived yesterday. Goooo Tikay!

[snoopy1239]

Paul Hatten has doubled up after moving all-in for 19k with A-Q

Fletcher paid him off from the cut-off with A-J

4-8-5-8-Q board

Clearly delighted, Hatten slammed his fists onto the table, to which Paul King amusingly enquired "Has he won the tournament?"

[snoopy1239]

Just 13 left, tikay has a nosebleed, but I think that's more to do with old age than anything else...

[snoopy1239]

Andrew Douglas is struggling with just 16k, although he has just collected 4.5k in blinds.

   go daddy meds

[snoopy1239]

Iqbal raises preflop, Herbert sticks in another 25k.

Iqbal goes into the think tank, before eventually folding Pocket Deuces (!!)

Claimed he was considering a re-reraise

[snoopy1239]

Mark Raymer is down to 500 after losing an A-9 vs A-A encounter to Paul King.

[julian]

come on the tikay!!

[snoopy1239]

Mick Fletcher has increased his chip lead by eliminating both Mark Raymer and Bernard Litman.

The fact that he had Pocket Rockets helped somewhat.

Raymer, who only had 500 and A-6, and Litman (8-8) failed to improve on a T-J-9-K-5 flop, although for a moment it looked as though someone had made a straight somewhere.

come on the tikay!!
