nice work JP, the kid runs good, 2nd in UB 200k last week for $27k, then 2nd in a side event in 'pool earlier this week, and now last 4 of the main, :-)

Been a bit quiet - just trying to collate some hands into a nicely digestible and not too repetitive chunk for you:

Chaz has taken about 100k with preflop re-raises, firstly from the small blind when brother Sunny raised to 40k on the button.  He passed pretty quickly showing the unpalatable 10 2...then he does the same to Mickey Wernick, who also lets it go, saying, "Get in son..."

Slowly he's been building a lead over Sunny, and far over JP and Mickey - latest count puts him at decently over 700,000.

Any business done?

[Djinn]

And JP is no more - he re-raised all in on the big blind over the top of habitual preflop button raiser Sunny.  A good think before he made the call;
JP showed:    (fingers in the till)
Sunny showed:    (what a match-up).
Board:    and that's that - JP Kelly takes 4th spot and £14,800

Nope, not as far as I'm aware.

Sending them packing one by one...

Little mini-interview with Chaz as he nips out for a cigarette break:

Me:  Who's the older brother?
Chaz:  Me - I'm 24, he's 21.
Me:  Did you teach him to play poker?
Chaz:  Yes.
Me:  Will he admit you taught him to play poker?
Chaz:  Yes.

More action now - short stack Mickey Wernick needed to get some chips to take on the aggressive brothers, and moved all-in on the big blind against small blind Chaz Chattha.  He called with the speculative ; Mickey showed .
Flop: 
Turn: 
River:    (although any paint would've done) and that means that Mickey Wernick takes 3rd spot and £19,700.

That means that we have a (probably) unprecedented final situation, where two brothers are heads up.  Avid railer James Akenhead (who has 10% of Chaz and 5% of Sunny - some people are born lucky) says that there will be no business...

I bet Snoopy is already working on puns for the main page report...

[action man]

i think these 2 are praz bansi's cousins. i was speaking to praz on tribeca today and he has a slice of each

[Djinn]

Lots of action on a board, in fact, a called all-in - Chaz shows for the straight draw, while I think Sunny was the caller with . 
No straight, and the huge chip advantage goes to Chattha the Younger.

Shame tightend has to delete anything cheering for someone other than JP/Wernick, how childish

Great display of Poker by the Chattas
