It all went crazy on the Flop.

Trevor Reardon is OUT.

"Can't win a race," complained a disgruntled (but still smiling) Reardon.

Queens versus Marty Cavanagh's Big Slick and he was a gonna.



Zahir 'Zippy' Aslam is also OUT after running Ace King into Thanh Don's American Airlines.

Don raised to 800 pre-flop, 2 limpers, so Zippy thought he'd push.

[snoopy1239]

Martyn Cavanagh is on a massive 68k after finding back to back quads.

First he hit Quad Sevens for a monster pot and then Quad Fives for a smaller one.


Meanwhile, Simon Zach's fortunes have turned as he has now built his stack up from 700 to 9,400. First doubling up with Queens, and then with Jacks vs two Ace Kings.


Matt Dale is OUT, but Dan Carter is on 36k.

[snoopy1239]

Pete Linton is OUT.

50-50 with Nigel Turver for a 20k+ pot, Ace King vs Jacks, no help.

Darshan Sami has jumped up to 33k after surviving the following pot:

Mateyboy raises, Sami (and two others) called.

Flop =

The original raiser bets out, Sami and one other player call.

Turn =

The original raiser checks, Sami moves all-in and the other player goes into the think tank.

Thinking he has a flush draw, Sami says "Don't call, you're behind!" and so he does indeed fold.

The original raiser also goes into the think tank and once again Sami exclaims, "Don't call, you're behind!", but this time, the player called, flipping 6-7 in the process.

Sami turned over his Pocket Sevens and took the pot once the River drew a blank.

[snoopy1239]

Phil Peters is OUT.

Kings v A-Q

Eliminated by Maurice Nicholson who four flushed to his Ace.


And so is Nick Hicks.

"Managed to bluff off half my chips when I had 12k, and that killed me off really."

[snoopy1239]

James Atkin is OUT.

Although he survived a Q-8 all-in steal that ran into A-K, James couldn't get away from this Flop.

With the board reading, , James shoved it in with , but couldn't outdraw the of Lucy Rokach who is now chipped up.


Meanwhile, we've lost two blondeites as both John 'Saphire' Shipley and Tim 'T8mml' Blake are gone, the latter losing a coinflip with A-Q vs J-J.
