The chap who ran trip eights into the trip kings of Sid Harris earlier on was in fact Frank Romanello, and he's just been faced with another potentially taxing decision courtesy of Richard Redmond.

With a Flop of , Romanello bet 1.5k only to be re-raised by Redmond to 3.6k.

Two contrasting postures, an uptight Romanello leans forward over the table, desperately tying to work out if he should put his tournament life on the line. Meanwhile, a relaxed laid-back 'I've been here, got the t'shirt' Redmond offers me a rye smile as we wait what seems like a lifetime for a decision.

I wonder around the other tables, return, only to see that nothing has changed. Redmond is looking into the distance, nonchalently fiddling with his i-pod headphones, making no attempt whatsoever to set a poker face. Meanwhile, Romanello is still deep in thought, but that thought finally translates into a good call, although many were surprised it wasn't made quicker, with . Romanello showed , and with a Turn, it was chop chop.

Flop

As I pass 'One Hand' Rumit's table, I notice that he is still in, but carrying the same chip count. "You know you don't lose the nickname if you don't play any hands," I inform him, to which he worries me deeply by calling the next hand. Flop comes Kd-Qh-Qd and Rumit calls a 225 bet from Tuan Lee. Tuan then moves all-in for what looked like just several hundred on the raggy Turn, but it was enough to make Rumit fold.

"Look what you made him do, snoops," complained Dubai.

Tell Ben Vinson all the boys at The Vic are rooting for him.

Ben Vinson is on 14k.

Just spotted Paul King on the rail (although everyone's on the rail because it's the break), but Paul looking considerably more sorrowful than others, and soon confirmed his departure.

"I raised it up pre-flop with Tens and hit top set, but it was an all spade board. I bet because I didn't want a flush to hit and Alan Rutter flat called. Turn came a rag, and I doubled my bet to 2,400. Alan raised and I shoved it in, but he had flopped the flush with and I failed to hit. It's hard to get away from flopped top set though, even on all suited board."

Odd one now involving Shaf, who looks like he's jumped up to around 18k.

Some heavy pre-flop action which led to Michael Greco folding Queens, but Shaf and Craig Owen saw a Flop of . Craig bet 5k, only for Shaf to move all-in, but the eye-opening thing about this hand is that Craig then mucked his cards, leaving just 2k behind.

Shaf showed Aces. What Craig Owen had, I have no idea.
