[snoopy1239]

Nik Persaud is OUT, calling a pre-flop raise with Q-Ts and then again on the Ten high Flop. Opponent had an explicable K-9 and Turned a King.

Also on the chooping block was Stuart Nash, losing with Fives vs. A-4 on an A-A-K-Q-K board.

Rumour has it that Roy Brindley is down to the felt after clashing with Richard Redmond. I assume there was a raise re-raise call pre-flop, before they got it all-in on a Q-A-6 Flop, no help for Roy's Q-T which was dominated by his opponent's A-T and he's on the verge of departing.

[Djinn]

Aha well Nik Persaud down, Snoopy only has the two of my picks he copied left... (I recommend you support Dpommo now, not to bok him of course, but because he's had a speedily good start to the day and is close to 80k).

Gone within the first few minutes' play:

Cat O'Neil - Final Green Joker Poker player remaining, and last chance for Mike Lacey to win his my-qualifiers-against-yours bet with Jon Raab.  She only had 7k, plenty good, next to her.  Kuljinder Sidhu her assassin.

Also Terrence Nelson, moving in on the small blind over the 3k button raise with - fair enough - but the big blind R. Bodha found .  Just covered; out.
________________________________________

And a rarity - a hand which didn't involve seeing all five board cards come out at once - Stefano Fiore raised on the cutoff to 3,500; button Joshua Tyler pushed him off it with a 7k re-raise.  Just worth reporting for the lack of all-in.

[snoopy1239]

Ian Fieldhouse is OUT.

Raised with A-K, pushed all-in by Alessio Isaia and called by Ian.

"Not f***ing Aces against," commented a devestated Ian as Alessio revealed his Aces.

"Aces, Aces and Jacks," he's had in a row, added Andy Miles.

Flop =

"Jack!" demanded Ian.

But the miracle wasn't to be and Ian is sent packing, his final words being to friend and fellow Walsall player, Des Jonas, who was obliged to listen to the tale.

[snoopy1239]

Robert Garfield is OUT and so is Jim Kerrigan, the latter of those two just this second biting the dust when his Kings were outdone by Tens. There was betting pre-flop and on the Flop, and then it all went in on the cruel Ten Turn. Jim did have a flush draw, but the fifth spade failed to hit the River.

Alistair Woods and Huo Ngo are also OUT.

Alistair Woods and Karl Mahrenholz have also failed to jump these early hurdles and are now watching the action from the rail.

[Djinn]

Steve Jelinek (pictured) is apparently on tilt, currently.  He's taken quite a few hits in between knocking out Jim Kerrigan.  One was to double up Roy Brindley after his big knockback - Roy was all-in against with against Steve's .
Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

Then another 20k pot went the wrong way, and we're wondering how tight a grip he has on the rest of his stack...

[snoopy1239]

Des Jonas doubles up in pretty straight forward cicumstances.

vs. Steve Cordy's .

Board =

----------------

Judging by the empty seats, it looks like Lukas Schwartz and Lam Trinh are out.

Seat 1 on table 9 is empty. Assigned to Richard Cox. Make of that what you will, but he's most likely a gonna.

----------------

Womble is OUT.

"I had a big draw," he tells. "T-9 of clubs with a T-J-Q board, 2 clubs. Third pair with an open ended straight flush draw, I don't care who you are or how many chips you've got, you're not getting away from that."

His opponent had K-T by the way and Womble failed to improve.

[Djinn]

Cautionary attention-paying tale in the form of Angela Rich's exit - she didn't see that a player between the first raiser and herself had moved in over the top of a regular preflop raise.  She said, "Call," intending to take a flop with the first guy (she held A-Q) but ended up calling all in and losing her whole stack to all-in Matey's better hand...

James Atkin is also OUT - a short stack, he found himself on the button with K-4 and then found his chips in the middle - and a caller for a chunk of his stack in the blinds with A-T.  "It was a good call," Atkin shrugged on the rail.

[snoopy1239]

64 players left, one of whom is this chap, Stefano Fiore, who just check-raised Ian Nelson all-in on a board of .

Ian Nelson rose from his seat and looked perplexed, but he simply couldn't fold his King and had to pay off his opponent's 7-9.

Nice check raise though that has left Ian with around 40k.

----------------------

Meanwhile Kat O'Neil has been spotted on the rail with fellow Green Joker Pokerer, Mike Lacey.

----------------------

Doc Aris is OUT. A-6 vs. A-K.

[Djinn]

any cash games started yet snoops? how the welsh boys doing m8?

Dewi is OUT - Saw him with a pint, wandering down between bars.  With a smile, I might add - he said he'd enjoyed the whole thing, and gave me the short version of the Final Hand: "I had pocket Tens, he had pocket Jacks."  Dewi re-raised all-in preflop, not thinking he'd be called (it was a 25k raise) but the Jacks went for it, and were right.

Stephen Slavin        70,000

[Djinn]

Dave Pomroy is OUT - moving in against Richard Redmond with , he was called by Redmond's (I wonder just how much more it was to call - last time I checked Dpommo had over 60k)... anyway the flop brought lots of hope:  , but the on the turn and river got rid of it again.

Saeed is also OUT.
