A few of those requests for you now, the first of which concerns Pete Singleton, who was seen rising from his seat as soon as I returned to the cardroom. His sniper was Michael Greco, who put Pete all-in on a board of . Pete called for his last 2.5-3k with but found himself up against . Duff Duff Duff. River was academic.

Cheers for the update Snoops. I'll be in Cardiff tomorrow to cover the last two days, i'll see you at the bar media area

Cheers snoopy good work fella

I'm afraid Herron the younger has departed, and in rather eye watering cirumstances too - which, unsurprisingly in these 'kick in the testicles' situations, involved those darn Aces getting bust.

All-in versus the Pocket Queens of James Martin, the first four cards came 9-T-J-Q. Ouch.

Cheers snoopy good work fella

Craig Metcalfe has been located, although he doesn't quite have the 40k you suggest, but he's not far off, chugging away nicely with around 37k.

He recognised the name too. If the good luck message spurs him on to victory, then be sure to grab a percentage.

[Djinn]

This is Stephen Slavin - pointed out to us by his friend on the rail who's just kind of hanging out watching what's going on, and asked that, "What exactly are you guys doing?" question.  Like the Terminator, I always run through a couple of potential answers ("I am taking pretend drink orders," "I am perfecting a bot by means of studying the moves of the nation's best") before pointing people in the direction of blonde...hello if you've made it online...

Anyway, Stephen's qualified for three of these on BlueSquare already, apparently, and was comfortably around 30k at the time of shooting.

Charmaine, erase those sad faces pronto because mi laddo has just doubled those chips up again. 

First he went in blind from early position to take the blinds, and then was allowed to see a cheap (well, free in fact) Flop and Turn from the small blind with and a board . M3boy pushed and found a caller. Academic River.

Now on 9,800.

[Djinn]

John 'The Rockstar' Conroy was, it seems, having a bit of trouble getting into this tournament (in the sense of feeling involved while it was in the slow period) after the dizzy heights of third in the Warsaw WPT last week.  But he has more chips than in the picture (about 15,800 currently) despite playing "lots of pots early  because suddenly I think I can play properly."  Self-deprecatingly continually referring to himself as a tedious ladderer, I wouldn't be surprised to find him on another final table, having lulled the opposition into a false sense of security.

Izabel Durr, is OUT.

As I joined the play, Izabel was standing up, clearly forseeing defeat, with A-J in front of her.

Not bad with a Flop of J-8-8 on the board.

However, with the K Turn, the 7 River and opponent Stuart Menzies holding 8-4, it's not looking peachy, and the disappointed Bad Beat player was sent on her way.

A quick look at the button highlights that it is nowhere near Menzies. A swift glance back at Stuart sees him mouth the words 'don't ask'. Peering down and chatting briefly with Paul Garnham, now on 11.5k incidentally, informs me that it was a cheeky pre-flop raise that hit a loverly jubberly Flop.

I now have finalized Grosvenor Walsall April cardroom program wheres the best place to post it?

[snoopy1239]
