Adam Heller
Willie Tann

Good luck to all blondes playing today too.

Chip counts for my 3 boks please

Neil Channing has just this minute gone OUT. It folds around to him on the button and he moves in - Rumit calls him from the small blind.

Karl Mahrenholz is out, he raised from the small blind but didn't have enough to fold when the big blind pushed.

Big Blind:



being the board to send him home.

31 left.

[NoflopsHomer]

Blinds are now 3k/6k with a 400 ante.

Dave Colclough has just knocked Eddie Lundon - AA against TT. He's on over 400k now.

We are also on the BUBBLE so we're not allowed in until they're in the money.

Blinds are now 3k/6k with a 400 ante.

Adam Heller is OUT.

AK against Gavin Priestley's KK.

[NoflopsHomer]

DC has 390k, roughly 1/7 of the chips in play.

Mick Fletcher has 125k having doubled up Barry Carter with A-9 against A-A. "He played it well and got me," said Mick generously. Barry on 115k.

[NoflopsHomer]

An extremely short Neil Downing (in stack size not height) is OUT, his 4-5 losing to Greek Jack's A-Q.

Rumit whose stack had dwindled has doubled up with against Willie Tann's , spiking the King. The WSOP bracelet winner is very short now.

[danafish]

Paul Rigg raises to 18k form the cutoff; Gary Chatterton (resplendent in terrifying orange Hawaiian shirt today) moves in from the small blind. Cuong (who by the way is on about 80k) folds the big blind. There is some lengthy consideration from Rigg before he calls.

Board - 

Chatterton does a little fists-in-the-air dance. Rigg veeeery short now, on about 30k.

[danafish]

Flop - 

Paul Leckey bets 25k, and Richard Ashby moves in. Leckey folds fairly quickly. Ashby checks his cards again before throwing them back to the dealer. One last loving look at his beautiful beautiful cards, or quickly gloating over the rubbish he made a move with?

[danafish]

They're on a short break now - I believe there are 23 left in. Brendan Duffy just went out in 24th. Official chip counts coming soon.

[NoflopsHomer]

Dave has 536k, which is between 1/5 and 1/6 of all the chips in play. He took 40k off Greek Jack (who has 205k) pushing him off Jacks with Tens, "I should've moved-in against him preflop," said Jack.

Btw, having knocked out both Chilli and Nick Hicks, we've renamed Chris Bruce, "The Scourge of Nottinghamshire".

[NoflopsHomer]

Paul Rigg is out with against Cuong Trinh's

Board:




Steve Laker doubled up with vs Greek Jack's , the board being 9-6-6-A-9

Willie Tann is OUT with Kings against Gavin Priestley's Aces.

Mick Fletcher has gone, A-4 no good against Rumit's A-Q.

Victor Kay knocks out Mark Jones with A-A vs Q-J.

[danafish]

Victor Kaye raises to 20k (ahh ha ha, the punning potential that I will not rise to) from the cutoff. Cuong reraises another 25k from the small blind. Kaye folds. Cuong's on 158k now. He has his own fan club at the rail, too.

[danafish]

Dave Colclough is completely at one with the poker Tao, effortlessly nicking everyone's blinds from every position, sometimes showing an ace, sometimes showing nothing at all, always maintaining his oneness with and winningness against all he comes into contact with. It's like poetry, man.
