Any word on Enda MacGearty, Seat 6 on Sligo table??? Thanks. Tell him Muscles was asking

This rather reddish chap is Mr Enda MacGearty. He is currently on 6,900 and laughed when I said 'Muscles' was asking.

Glad it was the right guy, phew.

Any chance of another update on Mr MacGearty. Tell him Buster said good luck!

5,700

The Tom Jones-esque Persian rug chest hair gets a rare outing as Iwan keeps his eyes peeled on the buffet queue.

A name familiar to blondes and the Hand Analysis board, this is David 'doubleup' McGreachie. Looking too cool for school in shiny shades.

[snoopy1239]

And of course, there's the odd couple of muppets still hanging around.

John Magill is OUT...

received a nice round of applause.

Now slightly overtaken in chips, Daniel Smith is still well ahead of the field.  He won a very chunky pot with , flopping the wheel (two spades on board), but finding the against him ready to commit the whole lot.  Not the most comfortable turn and river to dodge, I'd imagine, but dodge it he did, rocketing him up over 26k pre dinner break.

And here he is.

snoops or jen is mr gosney still in or has he gone to dublin town.

With 268 players remaining, some random chip counts are making their way to the announcer, and thence to me.  Average chips is around 11,500.

Paul Morrow     20,000
Roy Brindley      19,000
RED-DOG          15,000
Tikay                 6,550
Thomas Nolan    5,000
Alan McLean      10,000

Bedlam on Table Slade:

First Asheley Hayles doubles up (and a bit extra) to around 20k with A-J.

Raised 800 pre-flop, 2 callers, including Nik Slade with .

Bet 2.5k on Flop, Nik calls.

All-in on blank Turn, Nik calls.

No diamond or 5 and The Bear Hugger is dangerous.



Then, just a few hands later, David McGreachie is forced down to the felt, losing a A-K vs Q-Q race on an unaiding 6-5-T-4-6 board.
