And just like that, JP has doubled up, there was a  board and matey checked, so JP pushed with his assuming the board was too dangerous to trap with, matey called with though but a came on the river.

Elsewhere Red called an UTG raise with and bet out the flop but was called and slowed down with the hit the turn and mucked to a bet, he was shown the , so the turn definately saved him although he's still down 1k or so.

Sverre Sundbo just turned up in the press room, so I'm guessing he's OUT.

Bad Girl is OUT.

Bit of a sickener.

Roland De Wolfe led out on a  board.

She raised, he moved all-in (in effect, putting her all-in) she called.

Bad Girl:

 

Roland:

 

Turn:



River:




Richard Redmond is also OUT. His seat inbetween JP and Rob Yong has been taken up by Greg Raymer(!)

Barny Boatman is up to around 26k after running A-A into and A-T-x flop versus Mateyboy's A-T.

[NoflopsHomer]

The blinds are now 75/150.

I briefly spoke to JP about having Raymer moved to his table and he's enjoying himself, he thinks Raymer is not sure what sort of player JP is yet and is still testing the waters against him. He has 10,125 incidentally. (JP, not Raymer)

Red-Dog -- 8k
Pab -- 7k
Geeforce -- 7k

[snoopy1239]

Kevin O'Connell is OUT

J-A v 9-9

Board = 7-K-9-Q-6

[snoopy1239]

[snoopy1239]

Former Westlife singer, Brian McFadden is OUT.

K-K vs 9-7 on an 8-6-x flop.

Ten on Turn.



It also appears as though Ramzi Jelassi has eliminated Vicky Coren.

[snoopy1239]

Ram Vaswani is OUT.

First off he doubled up former Mob member, Ross Boatman, with Queens versus Kings.

And then, with just 2k left, his Pocket Eights failed to stand up against K-Q. King on the River.

[snoopy1239]

Simon Trumper is OUT.

Re-raised an early position raised from the Big Blind to 1,650 with Aces. An extra 1,200 to call, which the initial raiser did.

Flop =

Not wanting to mess around and hoping that his opponet moved in with a hand like Tens or Jacks, Simon bet 2,400, a bet which his opponent called, although at one point he was even mulling up a re-raise.

Turn =

Not a great card, but Simon, who wasn't going to pass, had the Ace of Hearts, and so moved all-in.

His opponent announced, "I've got lucky here" and called with his .

Simon still had 13 outs, but it wasn't to be as the River brought the .

[NoflopsHomer]

Geeforce is back up to 10k, he turned a set of Nines that got paid off.

Mike Lacey is OUT. Tens vs. Kings. Was down to 4k.

Meanwhile, Barny Boatman is down to just 2k after losing a 30k pot with 9-9 on a 9-J-x Flop. Mateyboy had J-J.
