Jen is on 11,850

There are 260 players left in the comp.

Pat Bueno is OUT. His A-Q stood down against Q-9.

Sverre Sundbo has climbed from just over 1k to a remarkable 23k.

[snoopy1239]

Julian Thew is OUT.

He re-raised a 1,200 pre-flop bet all-in for 4,200 with Pocket Eights.

Opponent, who had around 10k, called the extra 3k with J-8 and spiked a Jack.

[snoopy1239]

Martin Wendt is down to 2k after having his 4-5 on a Flop of 4-5-6 outdrawn by Gutshot's JJ and his Pocket Nines. 6 on the Turn gave JJ a bigger two pair.


Meanwhile, Dave 'El Blondie' Colclough is OUT.

[snoopy1239]

There's a LOT of action on the feature table, not involving Jen though.

The young lad in Seat 1 raised under-the-gun, Tony G moved all-in for about 10k, Marcel Luske called all-in for around 5k, and Seat 1 called.

Seat 1 = K-K

Tony G = Q-Q

Marcel Luske = A-K

Board = 6-A-2-J-3 and Marcel survives.

Tony G is therefore OUT.

[snoopy1239]

Two more exits to report now.

The first is Norseman, Anders Berg.

The second is a rather more disappointed Nick Slade... "Just one of those tournaments," he grumbled.

And to be fair, it truly didn't go his way, missed flush draws proving his nemesis.

In fact, the first hit simply required his hand to stand up, as he held both a flush draw and a pair of sevens, which was consderably better than Martin Wendt's 8-3 flush draw. But with a black 8 hitting the Turn, Nick Slade ended up missing everything and losing to a a paltry pair of eights.

And then, with yet another flush draw, Nick Slade moved in with only to be called by Pocket Sevens. No heart arrived and Nick is left to support his Northern crew - made up of the likes of Matt Tyler (22k), Zippy Aslam (25k) and Ash Hussain (5k).
