Hi. Well, as most of you are in sunny Walsall there may not be many of you to read this, but I am here in Swansea and will do some updating on the £500 Main Event of the Welsh Masters Festival.
Its a double chance freezeout with a 45 minute clock and 2 x 5,000 starting chips. Cardroom supervisor Albert has just got proceedings underway. There are 41 runners in total, including many familiar faces from the poker circuit. Given that we are in Wales and that there is a Blondebash and a festival at the Broadway this week, it is safe to say that most of the runners are, er Welsh.

Well, we haven't lost anyone yet, but James Fisher has put a bad beat on someone already. He held and called Richard Wilcox's preflop raise. Flop was Richard bet, James called. Turn Bet, call. River Richard had Ship It!

Anyway, some of the players playing today are:
The three Romanello brothers - Robero, Anthony and Nick The two Aris brothers - Ed and Tariq Martyn Cavanagh Big Alan Davies John Exley James Fisher Nick Risdale Ian Herbert

thanks mate for that... the reason behind his absence from the poker rooms maybe is that he's just had a baby boy...

Fisher is at it again - he played a hand blind and turned over trip fours... Then he got it all in against Ian Herbert holding on a flop of Ian had The turn was the river and Ian survives, but according to someone on another table 'Its torture being on James's table'. Every time I look over he's all in, one way or another.

No details of the prize breakdown yet.
Carl Thomas is also playing and there are three Blue Square qualifiers:
John Exley (he qualifies for something every other week it seems) Paul Rawding Martin Reeve

Three way all in on James Fishers table and yes, you guessed it, James was one of them. All the money went in preflop: Mateyboy held John Exley held James Fisher held the monster that is Flop Turn 'seven or a three' shouts James and low and behold a 3 falls on the river, but... its the James celebrates a bit too early before John cautiously points to his ace of diamonds before raking in a nice pot. Now, I can understand pocket aces being in the hand, I can understand 7-3 (its James after all), but what the heck were pocket deuces doing getting involved?

The winner of the £150 rebuy earlier in the week was Bryn Lacey. Jason El-hos won the £250 freezeout. They are both playing today.
