More on Dave Welch's exit....

The Essex lad grabbed me on his way out of the cardroom. He was very flustered and was talking of an injustice. According to Dave, he moved all-in with Queens, only to be called by Tens. But as the guy was calling, he also turned over his hand with people still to act. Instead of the hand being dead, play was allowed to continue and the board was dealt out. Although Dave tried to stop play, claiming that the Tens should be dead, the board was dealt out and Dave was left dazed (or should that be daved) and confused when his opponent somehow managed to fluke a gutshot straight with a nine hitting the Turn.

After the hand, the player received a ten minute penalty for revealing his hand prematurely, whilst Dave was left to exit stage left in a fit of rage. It's a terrible rule, but apparantly it's the correct one. Not sure how the penalty helps Dave out though. I think it's going to take him a while to calm down to be honest, he really wasn't very happy and for those who know how charismatic Dave is, you can imagine how vocal he was about it.

"He's mad that lad," added Dave Gregory. "I spotted him standing on his chair whilst mulling up a decision at one point."

What does everyone else think about how that penalty is dealt with?

If his hand is dead surely he cant call and the pot would be won preflop. However having seen the 10s surely he wants the chance to double up with queens.
As for the penalty surely thats to teach him a lesson about poker etiquette although he might have thought those still to act had passed and was revealing his hand for the showdown.

Thomas Mathiesen was on my starting table yesterday and from what I saw was a more than competent player.  He and the guy next to him (who played relentlessly aggressively and I think I heard was busted in stages by the calculatedly aggressive Thomas as they fought the large stacks back and forth) got a lot of chips comparative to the table in like the 4th level, and that made the whole thing much more difficult with a short stack.  I think people should be happy he only plays every two years...

Good luck to him.  [edit, even with 200 chips..]

And good job Snoops and Homer - may the Wifi be with you.

The plucky John Conroy moves all-in from the cut-off for precisely 26,000.

Roberto Matic in the big blind laughs, "I fold, I've only looked at one card."

To which John replies, "Oh, you've only seen the one too?"

[snoopy1239]

Blinds are at 1k/2k with a running ante of 200.

45 players left with the average stack at 63,111.

Marius Skoglund Torbergsen raises 4.5k pre-flop, Federik Holstrup moves all-in for 22k. Torbergsen folds Deuces face up.

Well it's not. But it might as well be. Having just cracked A-T with T-3 hitting the 3 on the turn to scoop another decent pot, he's now over 300k. Which means he has over 10% of all the chips in play...

The latest huge pot to go his way was when he knocked out Christopher Ulsrud.

All the chips end up flying into the middle.

Rumour has it that Simon Young lost a big pot before being forced to move his tiny stack in with 9-2. He came up against two sets of King Queens, which wasn't bad considering, especially when the Flop came Q-2-2.

However a Queen soon followed and Simon's hopes were crushed.

Good showing from the blondeite though, came up against some tough opponents.
