Keith Littlewood raises to 10k preflop (leaving himself 29 behind).  To his immediate left, Ryan Fronda has a think and then pushes in.  He's covered, but says, "I'd better get lucky, then" and calls with .  Ryan shows .

The board:    so Keith Littlewood is the 16th place finisher.

go on ryan my saan

[Djinn]

can you tell me if ryan fonda is still in

Yes, as just noted - on around 86k.

Some hefty pots changing the chip landscape currently, without elimination -

JP gets into a big skirmish with Niamh Peters, and comes out with a dented chip tower (down to 150k or so while she's got around 230k)...

A strange one involving Skalie (under the gun caller) and small blind Sid Harris - on a board of Sid bets 17k, gets raised to 40k, and then makes a stack-threatening re-raise which persuades Jon to pass on that one.  (Thanks to Nick Slade for keeping a keen eye on that table).

Snoops i think you owe Danna a pint, even if the picture is inconclusive as to whether she is licking her elbow at least she posted an attempt which is more than anyone else so i reckon she is due a pint!

I'm actually more concerned about her dislocated shoulder...

Doctor says I have a Syndrome. But if it's going to win me pints of beer it's all good.

And Simon Zach is our 15th place finisher:

He saw a flop with Sunny Chattha, who bet 15k and then faced a raise all in for 41k, which he called with his set of Nines ( ).  Simon was caught with his , and the running low hearts did nothing to change the situation.

Jen - I'm off to Dan's house. Shall we say 8pm for the Cypress Hill? I might lick my elbow to mark the occasion. Adios...

[Djinn]

They're getting a 20 minute break at the end of this level to eat toasties or whatever (like I'm doing now) so here are some pre-break counts (rough):

Table Peters

Niamh Peters      230,000
JP Kelly              180,000
Sunny Chattha    210,000
Mazhar Nawab     100,000
Simon Nowab       50,000
Mark Greenwood   88,500
Mickey Wernick     15,000

Table Harris

Peter Smyth         67,000
Matt Tyler            85,000
Sid Harris            263,000
Joe Grech            52,000
Jon Kalmar           96,000
Chaz Chattha      220,000
Ryan Fronda         82,000

Here's an odd one - Mickey moves in under the gun for his remaining 20,500.  Mazhar Nawab on the button somehow missed this occurrence, and put in 10k.  He didn't announce 'raise,' and since it was less than half the bet (by the slimmest of margins), he was allowed to take it back - Mickey won the blinds then uncontested. 
Nawab says, "I thought it was your big blind."
Mickey replies, "Oh, is that it?  You were nicking my big blind..."  He might have got the chance for a double up if he'd actually been in that position...

[Djinn]

In the closing minutes before the break, Mickey Wernick moves in preflop again - and this time small blind JP calls him with .  Mickey says, "It's a race," showing the traditional -
Flop: 
Turn: 
River:

And Mickey's up to 40k+ just as everyone dashes off for a snack.

Back in 20 minutes.

[TheJagster]

If it was over half the bet would he have had to make the rest up?

[TheJagster]

and hi Jen...how are you....great updates as usual....ty to you and assistants!

[Djinn]

If it was over half the bet would he have had to make the rest up?

That was the floorpeople's implied ruling...

And hello, and thanks, and no assistants today -hence the scattering of reports and even dodgier than usual camerawork!

JP Kelly in Sick River Call News Now -

He'd been tangling with Graham Clarkson a bit (saw him lay down a hand minutes earlier), and this pot got very tangled and very large - Graham limped in mid position, and JP raised on the button.  He called.  Flop:  .  Check to JP who bet 12k, call.
Turn:    Graham checks, JP bets 25k, gets check-raised by another 30k.  Think and call from JP.
River:    Now Graham pushes in for his remaining 34k.  A tough one for JP, who mutters something about only being able to beat a bluff.  The ipod comes off, and he asks, "Do you have trips?" before clearly answering his own question and calling.  With .
Graham had and finishes in 18th place. 

how, ladies and gentleman, can JP call that?

fantastic! he's popped about 100k chips into a pot with J3s suited, and nothing until bottomish pair on the river lol

[JakTheKipper]

He was on a flush draw
