[NoflopsHomer]

Micky Wernick is OUT. All-in on a Q-9-3 board with A-A. Matey had Nines.


Meanwhile, Jonny Hewston raises to 1k and gets 3 callers including Mick Fletcher. Flop comes , checked to Mick Fletcher, 2nd to last to act, he moves in for around 6k, everyone folds. Fletcher shows .

[NoflopsHomer]

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian Woodley is OUT. Nines against Terry Mason's Aces.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ryan Fronda is OUT. Queens no good against Andrew Georgiou's Kings.

[NoflopsHomer]

PeteL is OUT. The players on his table told me that Nik Persaud raised the button to 1,100 playing a 17k stack or so. Pete made it 20k with A-Q from the big blind "I f**ked up, I made a s**t move," Nik called with A-K and doubled up. He then lost the rest with Eights to Tens. Joe Grech has 17k, "I keep bluffing them away" as he has a crafty fag break.

[TightEnd]

Table 1 has Steve Templeman in seat 1, Ambro Morreale in 2, and Damon D'Cruz in 3


All have in excess of 30,000 and if anything Steve appears to have given chips to the other two

the remainder of the table including Tino Libertini are shortstacked, clinging on

Pepe Fontana is OUT, AK versus A8 of Mateyboy


A8 raised, AK pushed in. 88 passes

A8 calls all-in, as you would  . Rivers the case 8!

[NoflopsHomer]

Triple Double-up news now:

First, Mick McCool (Slick Kid) doubles through Big Trevor Reardon with J-J against A-K.

Mick Fletcher wins his race with A-K against Neil Channing's T-T

and Nick "Ripple11" has around 20k now when Paul King didn't believe he had an ace on an A-A-9-x-x board.


Blinds about to be 300/600, avg stack is 16.2k and there are 63 players left.

Vik Kanwar is OUT


Pushes his last two thousand in from the cut off with   

Ariel Adda re-raises on the button to 6,000 to isolate with   

but Nick Persaud re-reraises in the BB to 15,000 with, as it turns out,   

Adda passes

the flop gives Vik some hope

 

but the river and turn blank with    to knock him out

Adda would have hit the house.

That table, although tikay has now been moved off it now, has been a story of carnage avoidance with big laydowns and a carnage inducing series of outdraws all night
