Jim Reid is now on 12,700

It appears as though Simon Nowab is OUT.

He missed an inside straight flush draw (A-Q on K-T-x flop)

K-J held up

[snoopy1239]

Paul Zimbler has doubled

vs on a Flop.

Turn, River

[snoopy1239]

David 'dpommo' Pomroy is OUT.

He raises preflop, MB re-raised, dpommo raised again and MB moved all-in.

By this time, dpommo was virtually pot-committed and had to call with his A-8

MB had Q-Q

No Ace arrived

[snoopy1239]

Nick Slade is OUT.

He flopped a set of sevens and bet 1.6k, 1.6k and 2k. Each time the preflop raiser called, finally rivering a runner runner flush with K-Q suited.

Slade then ran a turned flush into a full house.

Level 5
Blinds = 150/300
Next Level (in 15 mins) = 150/300 (25)
Average Stack = 13,636
176/240 remaining

Went to see what railer Anders Berg was watching, and it appeared to be Henning Granstad:

He'd gotten involved on the small blind against a late position player (either caller or small raiser; couldn't see the pot too well) on a board of:
.  Henning bet out 3k (about a third of his stack) and received a call.
The unconnected-looking fell on the turn, and Henning was quickly all in for the rest... a pass saw him show the, er, .  Up to 13k now though.

[Djinn]

John Perssen  10,600
Ricki Nielsen    14,600
Not sure where Erik is; he's been moved recently or is OUT

[Djinn]

Another controversy, this time preflop - the Spanish Button Matey had limped in, and Mark Teltscher on the small blind had raised.  A fuss was kicking off, and it turned out to be over whether Mark had said, "1,200," or, "Raise 1,200."  He seemed to want to put the full 1,500 in front of him, but the button only wanted to call 1,200...quite a lot of aggro over 300, but in the end the full raise went and there was a swift All-in from Mark on the flop which got rid of his opponent anyhow.  The most remarkable thing that happened during this debate was, however, that I swear the gesticulating Matey lost a front tooth, while explaining to the floorman.  He just picked it up and popped it back in.  Extraordinary.

Double Up for Andy Black -

A more cleanshaven Mr. Black was tearing up the cash games last night, and just got involved in a pretty enormous pot which sent his neighbour to the rail. 
Andy looked down at , but there was a bit of a kerfuffle with the dealing, and before taking any action he checked to see whether that particular deal was of the Mis type.  No - play was told to continue, and he got into a raising war with the gent on his left, resulting in it all getting all-in.  He wasn't thrilled to see against him.  But one King on the turn and one on the river helped.  Up to 26,000.

He says, "Twenty years playing, and I don't think I've ever done that particular outdraw."  Well, one for the records!
