David Johnson -- 67,300
Ouday Hickary -- 32,300

Toni Dicesari has just been felted. His K-Qs failing to outdo Jac Arama's A-J. Board was 7-6-8-2-7

Nik Hicks is OUT: "I moved into the big blind of another table with 20k, found Tens and re-raised all-in. A-J got me when he hit a Jack on the Flop. Not too many flops played today"

They're currently on a break now, but I did catch a few big hands near the end, one of which involved one of the requested players, Matt Tyler, his 8-2 outdrawing Essy Jahanpour's A-T. and if you're wondering how he got it in with 8-2, it's because Essy was painfully shortstacked. Matt still only has 27,200, which says it all.

Meanwhile, next door neighbour Joe Beevers is fairing rather better with 69,800.

------------------

Also, last hand before the break, Paul Dobson raised with A-Qs, Nik Persaud moved all-in with K-9 and Paul called. Nine high Flop leave Dobson with just 400 chips.

Flushy gets involved with Barney Boatman, who called his raise in the big blind.  They saw a flop.. Barney checked and James thought out loud, eventually betting 6k.  Barney calls.
Turn:    Now Barney moves in, for around 20k, over half of Flushy's stack.  He's not liking this, and a great deal of talking ensues.  "No question I was calling on the flop," says Flushy.  "I'll show you if you pass," replies Barney.
"Will you show me one now?"
"If it was allowed."
Flushy turns to the supervisor: "Can he show me a card?" - reply - "If he wants to fold he can."
Flushy turns back to Barney, "Do you want to show?"
"Not really."  It did rather look like Flushy was buying himself time to talk himself into passing, and pass he did.
"Lucky that card came to save you," said Barney, looking at the scare card turn.  He eventually half kept his promise, showing the .  That had a real ring of truth about it, in my opinion.

Looks like Welsh youngster Ouday Hickary is challenging for the chip lead with approximately 130k.

His latest scoop being a set of nines on a K-9-x Flop, Martino Libertini being the ufortunate victim, his K-J button raise dominated by Ouday's 9-9 in the small blind.

-------------------

The player with the smallest forename, Ky Hutchinson, is OUT, losing a T-T vs. A-K coinflip with Alan Vinnicombe.

No Ace, no King, but a cheeky 3 on the River for a straight, had to be a non-club too.

-------------------

Paul King is the current chip leader with 140k.

-------------------

Joe Koumi is OUT.

[Djinn]

what are the blinds?

tell dave smith to keep his chin up(not if he looks like hes going all in though,lol)

FRAN

Blinds 1k/2k ante 200, just about to go up to 1,500/3,000 ante 300, which won't slow the pace down much.  We anticipate a chip-consolidation lull occurring shortly after the dinner break.

[snoopy1239]

Stephen Millar, a new name to me, has doubled up.

Millar = 

Joe Beevers =

Board =

--------------------

Meanwhile, Nick Slade has also doubled up with Sixes versus A-K. Ryan Fronda folded A-Q, but even though he would have Flopped an Ace, it's a good job because Slade made a set on the River.

[Djinn]

Flushy has just gone.  A-Q vs 8-8 race, after all the drama of the last hour and a half it seems slightly anticlimactic.  He was short, now, however, and his best shot missed sending him to the rail.

Iwan feels the call of the short-stack all-in, and creates a big pot for Paul Plimmer... Iwan moved in on the button for his 20k or so, and got an instacall all-in from the small blind Paul.  Then Peter Evans decided to have a go too from the big blind, calling to cover both short stacks.
Iwan showed: 
Paul showed: 
Peter showed: 

Flop:  
Turn:   (looking better for Iwan than it really was, this card)
River:    and Paul Plimmer gets very excited at having his stack now over 56k - some "YES!" style shouting prompting the wits on the table to say simultaneously, "Who won that one?"

Iwan won the side pot and has 5k, although the walk to the press area and back takes enough time that by the next posting he'll have at least 11k or be out.

Richard Wong has been removed from that table by Mohammed Shafiq, vs . Board = , all the chips going in on the flop.

---------------

A real kick in the balls now for a certain Poker Night Live player now, James Browning finding himself all-in against Billy Ngo in a pot that would "get me right back in it".

Dominating with A-K vs A-3, the board came 5-J-6-9 until the River drowned the Geordie with a nasty . Ouch.

He looked devestated, but he took it like soldier, saying good luck before departing.

[Djinn]

Chris Lipris doubles up against Des Jonas, who gives his 7-7 a spin with A-8.
Flop:  A-Q-A
Turn:  9
River: 7 and with Nik saying he passed the other seven, it's a case card river to save the Walsall player, and dent an 18k-sized hole in Jonas' stack.

Meanwhile Ross Boatman finds his button raise to 8k (or so) re-raised out of the big blind by aggressive student Thomas Grundy.  It's a not-quite-callable 27,000 more, and enough to get rid of the last remaining Boatman.
