Mayhem in these early stages, and it seems to be the curse of Seat 7, with Pat Murray, Namir Mohammed and Michael Veale all biting the dust early doors, the latter eliminated by Jarund Strand Soma, Tens into Jacks.

Also gone are Ken Corkery, Peter Eastgate and Damir Buhovski.

[Djinn]

Chris Smith is OUT -

Caught the tail end of it (where he moved in with and was taken out for his final 5k with ) but the damage came from running into Sixes which ended up being quads.  Roland, sat to Chris' left, was smiling as widely as Chris was resignedly and said, "I folded Jacks."  Not too much comfort for Smith Sr. I would imagine, but Dan is still in (somewhere).
___________________________

Also OUT - Harri Pehkonen and Chris Murphy.  Murphy got it all in on a flop against Tim Flanders who bet out 4k from the big blind, and called the raise all-in of around 8k more with .  Chris Murphy had , but the fell immediately on the turn and he was on his feet before the hit the river.

[Djinn]

Double through for John Wong - but he had to sweat for it.  First it was the race of his vs .  Then it was the flop (he's ahead and all, I think, but not by more than a whisker or two)... but he visibly relaxed on the turn and is now not so perilously short stacked.


Mick McCool is OUT  - He held for his last hand J-Q on the button, raised it.  The big stack big blind called.
Flop: Q-8-J  Big Blind checked, McCool bet 5k, the big blind check-raised to 15k.  Apparently he'd done this more than a couple of times, and Mick decided to push for his 30-something thousand.  His two pair was instacalled with the flopped nuts (9-T) and no outdraw= in the hallway.

[snoopy1239]

Chris Moorman is up to 105 after finding Kings v Ace King and eliminating Ian Herbert in the process.

Azad Pirooti is also OUT, running K-J into K-Q on a King high Flop.

Morning/afternoon all !! Phantom are you here all night??[Morning/afternoon all !! Phantom are you here all night??

Well i would have been as well off if i was. Next time you're having a whale of a time at 4.30am, no need to ring me to tell me about it. Id no idea what you were slurring about.

Remember i tipped Ian Frazer yesterday?? Hope ye backed him. He is joint favourite now at 28/1

Remember i tipped Ian Frazer yesterday?? Hope ye backed him. He is joint favourite now at 28/1

Aye, stuck a few bob on him, but couldnt find a price for Danny??

Well, Ian Fraser has just lost a chunky pot, making what many would consider a suspect call.

With a flop of , Stefan Raffay moved all-in for around 16k, Anthony Donohoe called all-in for several k and Ian, albeit after a dwell, made a reluctant turn confident call.

Stefan Raffay =

Anthony Donohoe =

Ian Fraser =

Stefan didn't look happy to see Anthony's hand, and he was justified in his fears as the Turn brought the .

"No more diamonds!" exlaimed Anthony, and he was rewarded with a on the River.

Both players banged the table, one whooping the other huffing whilst Ian simply said, "He's been raising under the gun almost every time, I was just unlucky that he had Aces this time."

[snoopy1239]

Stefan Raffey is OUT. Meanwhile, Nicolai Kostakis has built up a nice 90k stack.

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

Ian Broadrick is OUT in rather testicle crushing circumstances, losing to Mad Marty's on an , Ian moaning to a friend as he left, "I had trips and Marty Rivered a straight on me."

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

Chris Moorman just lost a few, not too many though, but he was forced to show his bag of spanners, raising pre-flop with 4-5 and having to call an all-in from Kings.

4 hit the Flop, and although Anthony Young almost had a fit on the River, it was a 6 rather than a 5.

Chris Moorman     96,300
Bryan O'Connell    29,200
Donnacha O'Dea    OUT
Paul Jackson          OUT

Just before his table was broken, Roland de Wolfe doubled through shortish stacked Cristiano Blanco - I caught it from the flop when Cristiano's was on its back next to Roland's .  I can only assume from their relative positions that Roland must have check-called his flop all-in move.
He watched the come on the turn and the on the river, however, to remove a small portion of his second-in-command stack.  "Sick," he said, but without any real vigour behind it. 

[snoopy1239]

Donnacha O'Dea is OUT.

All-in with Fours against A-9, Ace on the River.

Bhupinder Kohli is also OUT.

Made a move for 10k with K-Ts, but ran into Tens. Same player had forced him to fold A-Ks utg not long before.

Ali Mallu is OUT. Lost three big hands in a row.

[Djinn]

Some unbelievable hanging on for a Scandie - BA still there after rivering the second nut flush: into the nut flush: .  Probably lost the minimum, betting small and calling what looked like a min-raise on the river which brought four clubs to the board.  So expecting an elimination any minute, as he was standing up with 10k in front of him, instead he's doubled through without showdown, making a risky bet with Ace-high on a Jack-x-x flop to take down a few and then winning a couple more.  Still hope for the blogging community.

Dan Smith the pre-break big climber - he's on over 110k now after getting a double through with pocket Jacks.  They spiked a set on the flop, when most of the 45k went in against some Aces.  He looked to be in a pretty good mood at the bar during the break.  Plus he qualifies for Fashion Oddity of the Day with his extraordinary trousers. 

Other side of the room, and the Omaha €300 rebuy side event is about to kick off, probably a good turnout considering that there are about 500 poker players on 'holiday' here with no willpower to leave the hotel.
