[Djinn]

Jules 'Hartwith' Adamson doubles up to around 210k:

All-in pre (it's pretty much the order of the day - we're not seeing hugely complex streets play) with against John Quinn's .
Flop:    "No change," helps the announcer, as Jules is off his chair
Turn:    Supporters materialise for the ex-blond as he looks on with the tension you might expect
River:    Cheer from the crowd (that sinking feeling for Quinn) as Jules starts circling his chair like dogs do before they go to sleep on something

In 27th place, winning €14,000 finishes BA Kildalen...

He pushed in at the first open opportunity (he had about 130k)  with what he said, when called, was Aces but was in fact .  He got looked up by ...

Board:  .

Benjo says, "Like Jack Bauer would say, 'DAMMIT!'"

The TV table is being switched around, so for the first time, full counts (thanks AWOP for noticing this golden opportunity while I was eating my third Creme Egg!

Bruce Yamron   238k
Jeremy O'Leary  92k
Danny McHugh   178k
Peter Eastgate    245k
John Quinn         267k
Paul Zimbler        418k
Bryan O'Connell    130k
Sorel Mizzi           450k

[Djinn]

Unbelievably, I just spotted recent eliminatee Tim Flanders in the €1k.  Along with pretty much everyone else who didn't hop on the first flight home after Day One.  Paul Zimbler was looking for Dave Colclough in the break, but there's a sea of tables once more and I wished him luck in spotting him during the 10 mins left...

Meanwhile Jules Adamson has only 130k or so, and is planning on re-raising Roland.  A tricky proposition when he admitted Roland tended to have the goods.
"So you're saying de Wolfe is a luckbox?"  I pressed.
"Yes.  Yes he is."  replied Hartwith, whose flight home leaves in five minutes.

David Barker is OUT.

He moved all-in from under the gun with and was called by Jerker Eriksson in the big blind with .

Mick McCloskey rides the Aces rollercoaster News Now:

Tom Finneran raised preflop and got a call from Mick in the big blind.  I figure this from the size of the pot when it all got in on the flop.  Tom had the As while Mick's looked to be in a bit of trouble.  It stayed that way; Tom doubled up leaving McCloskey with under 50k and a pretty instant push in.

This time he had the and big blind autocaller Carlsson had .  The board quickly double paired (Jacks and Deuces) and without the house split Mick is still in, hanging by thread...

Danny McHugh raises 35k pre-flop, Bruce Yamron calls from the blind.

Flop =

All-in, called.

Danny =

Bruce =

is a cracking Turn for Danny.

"Come on Danny!" cheer the Mayo Rail.

Danny looks apprehensive...

River =

"Yeah!!!!!"

A huge roar from the McHugh fans!

[Djinn]

Roland de Wolfe takes another scalp - this time racing out Joe Rafferty's Q-Q with his A-K.  Ridiculous lead increased...

Mick McCloskey is OUT.

He was short, but was still unfortunate to run into Kings.

Peter Maughan dealing the final blows.

A-9 v K-Q

Q-4-7-2-T board.

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

Thomas Finneron, one of the remaining Paddy Power qualifiers, has just doubled up off Peter Maughan who is retelling his tale of woe to Mike 'Lucky Blind' Lacey on the rail.

It was an unavoidable car crash I guess, with Peter finding Queens and raising it up pre-flop, before calling the all-in of Thomas, as pretty much every player on the planet would do at this stage

The board came a Queenless , and although Peter made a flush with the , Thomas outdid him by one with the .

As a result of this clash, Peter is now down to a meek 40k.

[Djinn]

Jules Adamson Double Doubles:

Down to his last meagre 60k, he doubles up in successive hands to over 250k - no idea what the first one was but the second saw his all in against McCabe's .  He couldn't have been in much better shape, and with a flop (running Queens filling the rest of the board) he was grinning as he found himself back in the game.
