Quite a few Mateyboys (and girls) here today, but hopefully we can start eradiciting that moniker now that we have Mr Raab has put this new tagging system in place. Here's four faces we may not have previously known for starters...

(1) Gary Shaw -- 6,000
(2) Cat O'Neil -- 14,300
(3) Alwyn Powell -- 19,350
(4) Evan Humphries -- 12,500

Probable chip leader contention for Vicky Coren - a full double through of her just-under-30k stack with KK vs. QQ, and then she has begun, according to tablemate Dave Colclough (hovering on 20k) to dominate the table.  She's knocked two shorter stacks out in the last 15 minutes alone, one of them being John 'Rockstar' Conroy.  DC says he's been "mesmerised" while Vicky looks like she's enjoying bully status.  And enjoying the Paul Parker approach to tournament play, with glass of wine in hand.

The blinds are now 400/800 ante 75.  54 players remaining...

Some scoopylicous reports now from your roving 15 minute break time reporter, Snoopy Kent (Super Snoopy when someone is in danger).



Paul 'M3boy' Garnham is on 8k and is disappointed to have moved table, because that means he's no longer seated next to EPT Dortmund finalist, Cristiano Blanco, who Paul described as his 'meal ticket'. "I kept re-raising him because he was raising a lot and he continually folded Ace-rag hands because I'd shown so many strong hands, so he was keeping me going really."

According to Steve Jelinek, he's on 30k after getting pissed off and playing crap poker. "I was really stuggling and just got frustrated, first check-raising with 7-3 of hearts on a Q-6-2 all diamond flop (that could have been embarrassing), and then calling a pre-flop raiser with 8-6 of hearts and then re-raising his 4.5k bet all-in on the 8-J-Q Flop. Both times they folded, but it was rubbish play by me really. I should get pissed off more often, it seems to work."

When I asked Dusk Till Dawn's Dave Colclough for a scoop, he answered, "I haven't done anything as usual." Great scoop Dave! In all fairness though, he did go on to tell me that earlier on he won a nice pot with Tens v Deuces all-in pre-flop, but then finished with a gloomy "It's the only hand I've had in the last 2 hours."

Vicky has 83k and a lovely pair of Norks (not my words  ).

Crikey!



It's all kicking off here and the poo is truly hitting the fan. 

First up is Table Mackay, which just saw a massive pot go Steve Jelinek's way after an inexplicable call from Steve Craig.

Jelinek raised it up from the button to 2,400 with Queens, Craig made it 6,400 from the big blind, Jelinek pushed all-in for an extra 22,500 and Craig called, shockingly turning over (!!)

Board =

... and although he was fully expecting a Ten to hit the River, he dodged that potentially gut-wrenching bullet to see all the chips flie his way, but everyone, especially Jelinek and Mackay (pictured in depsair) were flabbergasted by the call.

Lynne Beaumont raises it up pre-flop to 4k from second position, Kevin O'Leary adds another 15,400 and Lynne folds, leaving herself with 12k.

[snoopy1239]

Andy Miles bets 16k into a board of . Nick Goodall passes.

Vicky's stack takes a little dent, courtesy of Eliott Bowker, a short stack raising to 2,775 under the gun.  With only 9k behind, big blind Vicky thinks for a minute and puts him all in - call.

The board comes and she hands him a double up, remarking with wry surprise, "I lost one?"
