Can you tell him to stop playing hands please.

Actually, spotted a hand from the Table of Doom while I was collating chip counts, and one that resulted in the clock being called on Martyn Cavanagh.

Martyn had been check raised (3.5k to 8k) by Keith Swayne on a rainbow J-T-T Flop.

The Welshman used up all his time, including a countdown from the dealer, before folding Kings face up.

Keith pushed his card towards the muck in that 'I'll pretend I want to get rid of these supposed rags pronto' kind of manner.

Henning Grandstad -- 19,325
Mark Lowe -- 18,375
Samuel Clemens -- 24,650
Simon Zach -- 32,125
Joe Grech -- 14,350


Meanwhile Ali Mallu pushed all-in on the river of a board for around 10k into a 7k pot. His opponent gave it the full Hollywood before passing.

Great updates, and the photos are phantastic!

His sponsorship deal says he has to get to day 2, its the only explination!

Ronny Kotecha is still fighting, his latest move being an all-in on a board of (Zach had re-raised Ronny's 1.2k bet prior), but Simon folded for the 9,625 and so we didn't get to see any cards.

This is the best shot I can get of them, but notice Joe Grech in seat 1. He's currently on 14,050. Never count that chap out.

[Woodsey]

Well, I know this guy, but only from his alias on Ladbrokes, which is Greekfish (anyone else know that name?)

This is the first time I've seen him in person, but I've played a few cash hands against him on the Omaha Hi-Lo tables. Quite a loose player and very emotionally charged, but whether this translates into the live scene is yet to be seen.

Anyhow, his real name is Andrew Andreou (if you can believe that) and he's on a rather chunky 21,225.

I saw him the other day and I was dying to get some clippers to sort out that bloody mullett!!

Oh you dirty bocker. this piccy suggests that Ryan Fronda has joined Marc Goodwin and Ashley Hayles on the rail.

But what are they talking about, it all looks very hush hush?

[NoflopsHomer]

Without the running antes, this is going to be a long one, hope you're ready for a long night, the blinds are now 150/300, avg stack is still 19.4k.

  very sharp.

[snoopy1239]

Well, I've managed to lure Marc's exit hand (well, it didn't take much tbh, just a cut throat gesture).

Anyhow, Marc made up the small blind with Sixes, Mohammed Shafiq made it 1,000, Marc moved all-in for 14k and Shaf made a surprising and instant call with A-8, subsequently flopping an 8 to eliminate his foe.

And I say foe, because Marc took out Shaf in a previous comp this week, A-2 vs Kings, so perhaps he was soughting revenge by calling with the Ace.

[snoopy1239]

Ian Woodley is OUT, which means it's gonna pretty quiet in here for the remainer of the night.

[NoflopsHomer]

Big pot developed between Steve Jelinek and Trevor Reardon, Big Trev raised preflop and Jelinek re-raised and was called,



Jelinek bet out and was called, (I missed this part of the hand) but the pot swelled to 8.5k,

Turn:



Now Jelinek bets 5k and Big Trev eventually folded Queens face up.
