 Hello Jen. The spelling is Frode Gjesdal. If he hurries up and gets knocked out we're going for a curry in Fulham. If not I'm off to the Vic to suffer their cooking. Tell him to stick 'em in.

[TightEnd]

what are the blinds pls Jen? 600/1200?

Mickey Wernick reports a potentially stack-threatening bluff - he raised with and received two callers.  The flop was all rags, and it was checked round.  The turn brought the which made two diamonds, so he bet, as you do - getting one caller.  Not what he was after, and when the river brought another small diamond he bet big (c.9k) and his opponent dwelled for awhile, then said what Mickey thought was, "call," but was actually, "fold."  So Mickey turned over his AK saying, "Good call," after the whole thing was already over and the pot was his.  D'oh.

Thank you very much.  I can only work with what we're given on the player list, and the spelling is sometimes a little inventive... Will keep an eye on him.

800/1,600

Tracey Dell is OUT -

She didn't climb too fast today, and eventually called a button raise (see the leading language I use here) with .  The flop came 7-high, and she check called all in.  But she was up against KK and is now at liberty to sample the Breakfast.

Ali Mallu busts S. Patel with 8 4 off.  And Patel had , spiking a set and seeing a straight come as if from nowhere to send him to the rail.  Mallued.

[Djinn]

Dan Samson is pictured here- briefly chip leader before "losing 40k in the last ten minutes."

He's not wanged his big stack as quickly as Ali Mallu though, who just paid off Aces (all-in preflop re-raise with theatrical dwell), although he's still on around 50k.

Ariston says, "never try to run a re-steal on Mallu.  He's calling you."

[Djinn]

OK all the pieces of the jigsaw coming together - a happier Dan Samson just came out (they're on a break) saying that he was the recipient of the double up with , which Ali called preflop with his losing .  Dan's on 90k and is, in fact, the chip leader.

I have just heard that another Ace (the last Ace) was out - and folded preflop by Dick Shek, along with a King.

Here's Dina flanked by two of the best woolly sweaters in today's comp - the blue one of Gez Morris and the grey/green one of Morton Rustad (now OUT)

Anyone else and we'd assume there was a typo.
