*******BREAK*******
The last hand before it, JP moved in over the top of another short stack (both with just over 10k)... on their backs and it was JP's vs. all-in's .  A Jack on the flop confirmed his aheadness and gave him a proper stack.  He has really fought his way up in chips today, from that measly 3k in the first levels up to over 17k and now topping the 20k mark.

There are definately two more levels to be played tonight.  Marathon, yes - justified by structure and number of runners, yes.

Meanwhile Pab has dropped to 10k from the heights of 17k. First he got pushed off Queens on a King high board when someone moved in, then he raised A-J and released after he was re-raised. He's returning to the fray looking for spots to push.

James Feeney is OUT - having called a preflop raise with , the flop came Two Clubs and when the raiser bet he simply pushed and waited... the call eventually came from and no hit later, he's on the rail.  Wearing both a Gutshot T-shirt and Pokerstars jumper...

Action Action Action!!!


Gary Harrington moves all-in from early position fairly short. Torsten Iversen moves all-in straight after him, also short. Pab moves all in TOO after the pair of them, covering both.

Everyone else passes.

Gary Harrington:



Torsten Iversen:



Pab:




Flop:



Pab liked that first card and hated the next two since Gary was the only one with a flush draw.

Turn:



River:



Meaning both Harrington and Iversen are eliminated and Pab now has about 24k.

Julian checks a three diamonds flop to Scandieboy.

Scandie bets 3k, Julian makes it 6.1k. Scandie passes.


Elsewhere a little Mateyboy squared action on Bad Girl's table as as shorty pushes in with and is called by the button's .

Karl Mahrenholz is up to 40k or so.  I asked him what happened.  "I had Aces."  Pause.  "I had Deuces.  But I played them like Aces."
It turns out he'd called an all-in for 10k or so and found A-J - no hit and he scooped a big pot with a small pair.

Joining the contention for Chip Leader is Jim Kerrigan, who now has 60,300... hot on the heels of Frederik Hostrup with his 59,400.  Still no breakaway chip monster, although I still say the leader at the end of play will have broken the 100k mark.

Other counts from the somewhat weary penultimate level:

Osman Mustanoglu  22,800
Mark Bartlog           37,500
Henning Granstad    32,500
Paul 'Pab' Foltyn      31,000  (Just saw him break that 30k mark by stealing some blinds - I think he feels like that high point is a breakthrough)
Tony Mackay          14,000
Mats Iremark           26,300
Edmund Carter        38,000
Johnny Lodden        30,400
Julian Thew             26,000
Steve Vladar            36,000
Jim Kerrigan             60,300
Thomas Wahlroos     21,800
Pablo Rua                54,000

Mats Iremark is OUT and can concetrate on his rubix cube, he made his stand with and ran into pocket Queens receiving little help on the 5-J-7-8-T board.

Julian lost a chunk of chips with on a two hearts board when his opponent moved in with and Julian was pot commited and the turn and river came and .

Fredrik Haugen is the chip leader with around 84,000.

Johnny Lodden calls a raise and sees a T-3-3 flop against one opponent. His opponent bets out 5k, Johnny makes it 10k. His opponent makes it 25k. Johnny makes it 50k. Eventually he gets a fold from his opponent. Lodden shows A-5.

And with that, Johnny Lodden (nicknamed, bravely, by one of our American counterparts 'J-Lo') becomes chip leader, with 85,000.

And the blinds are now 600/1,200 ante 100, so those 20k stacks and under (JP teetering on the edge of that set with 20,000 and Bad Girl and Tony Mackay under it) are looking to get a few more before the end of play at the end of the level.

Praz just lost a 40k pot. The board was two hearts three clubs and Praz put another stack all-in with his only for the slightly shorter stack to call for all his chips with .

A turn but a river sent the pot the other way.


He went out shortly afterwards with A-T into J-J.

julian is still in and fighting isnt he?

The two letter answer?

With only 9k after that Eights hand, he picked a loose raiser and pushed in with A-9.  The raiser had Tens and a tired looking Julian is on his way to the taxi queue.  We feel like he's been one of the struggler-builders, like JP and Praz (more on this in a sec) and are sad he's out.

With just eight minutes left to play today, JP Kelly is eliminated...

After a long day of struggling from 3k to 20k and gently yo-yoing between that and 15k or so, he decided to move in, not so short as to be instacalled, mind you - he found a caller, however with , and although his was live, the was pretty definitive.  A tough day ground out pretty well, and then an eleventh hour exit.

A couple of counts before they disperse (it's officially GAME OVER here and it's gone worryingly quiet.  Like taxis might be rare):

Henning Granstad     80k  (a last level leap to top five in chips)
Osman Mustanoglu    OUT  (A harsh beat all-in preflop with AA vs QQ - board 8-9-J...A...T)
Mark Bartlog              45k
Karl Mahrenholz         49,500
Sigi Stockinger            OUT
Joe Beevers                48k
Andreas Hagen           68k
Bad Girl                      17k
Bruce Atkinson            21k
