Play will recommence at 8.30pm, so I will have a scout out for him then.

6 pages and no-one has asked for norkage yet. I'm shocked


Anyway look at all the long faces from the guys not getting a massage, especially the dealer.

Is the dealer pushing down on the table ?

[snoopy1239]

Players seem to be shuffling towards their seat, so I sense the recommencement of play is near.

During the break, I managed to get the lowdown on Steve Valdar's progress.

"Down a bit, up a bit, and now about average"

As per usual with Steve Vladar, it was the big hands that caused those minor alterations in his chip stack.

First off, he raised preflop with Kings, bet the Flop and Turn, before calling a bet from a Q-J holding that made 2 pair on the River.

And then, Steve somehow manged to find multiple callers to his preflop raise with Aces.

Flop = T-T-x and, as you'd expect, Steve bet out, only to find a flat-caller.

The flat-caller then checked the Turn, to which Steve checked behind him.

Come the River, Mateyboy bet out and Steve called.

Mateyboy had Jacks and Steve took the pot with his Pocket Rockets.

After these slight fluctuations, Steve is now back up to 12,000

Any news on DPOMMO?

Some juicy news for you now...

Phil Ivey dumped 5k on the Roulette before the comp had even started.

As Dubai correctly commented, "He's done the buy-in before the comps even started."

[snoopy1239]

Paul Campbell is OUT.

A-6 vs A-5

With everyone fixate on the flush draw that emerged on the Turn, the players overlooked the straight, which crushed possibilities of a split pot and sent Campbell packing.

Board = 8-9-T-Q-7

El Blondie has doubled up, after a limper and then a raise from Stuart Nash, he moved all in with the snowmen against Nash's AQ after the limper folded, an 8 on the flop and Dave has around 5k now.

Meanwhile Pommo has about 10k now, he just folded on a A-7-T-6-7 board when matey bet 2.5k into him on the river.

[Queen of Hearts]

GL to Stuart Nash please - If it is at all possible.

Thank you

And after losing 5k early doors, Phil Ivey is now up with the best of them with a rather menacing 26,000

Is there any stopping this man?

I remember a few years back people saying that one of the problems about poker is that you can't highlight who the best play in the World is, thereby illuminating the huge luck factor that exists. However, I think the emergence of Ivey as the greatest force in poker has somewhat erradicated that view.
