Johnny Chan is OUT.

Sevens v Q-T of clubs on a Flop of T-6-8 (one club), Mateyboy checked, Chan bet 5k and MB called. Turn brought the 4 of clubs, Mateyboy bet 15k, Chan pushed for 40k and MB called. No help on the River meant that the Tens held up.

"I thought it was rubbish play," commented Michael Greco who witnessed the action unfold. "He must have won those bracelets when there were only three entries."

Meanwhile, Barney Boatman is pretty chirpy, with his 200k... apparently the big boost to his chips came via this odd hand:  He'd limped, so had one other guy, and the button raised.  He called with .
Flop:  T-8-4 He check-called.
Turn:  5  Double check.
River:  Q  And now his opponent bet 40,000 - which he called with his pair of Eights, at which he recieved one of those oh-so-gratifying instant mucks and a nice chunk of chips.

I hope this is very much tongue in cheek?

Humberto Brenes has 48,000.

When questioned about the absence of his infamous toy shark, he responded in true Humberto style.

"Aaaaaaaaaaah, he only TV star, for the caaaaaaaameraaaaaaaaaas."

Mad as a box of monkeys.

Very Short Stack William Thorson triples up:

He moved in for 16,400 preflop, and found a caller in Barny Boatman, who then had to wait while the player (in the top picture) in the big blind dwelled before re-raising a further 22,000.  This wasn't all that much, actually, and that got Barny worried.  After torturing himself for the minimum time, he passed (A-K) and the big blind's got to play against Thorson's all-in .
Flop:    (a bit of a frustrated table-slap from Barny)
Turn: 
River: 

And somehow Thorson (in snow-white hoody) survived that whole thing to be back in it with nearly 50k.

Kido Pham (Mrs Pham has a lot answer for) is OUT.

All-in pre-flop with Pocket Threes versus. Eric Deregt's Knaves. No help.

æææææøøøøøøåååååå   Can you give me an update on Jan Sjåvik please??

Looks like we have a new chip leader in online superstar Sorel Mizzi who has made his way up to around 450k, most recently locking horns with Scott Fischman in what is perhaps one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

With the board reading , I joined the action with Sorel making a bet of 32k.

Fischman called, albeit hesitantly, only for Sorel to ask that sometimes overused question, "How much do you have left?" come the River.

"About 105k," answered the double bracelet winner, to which Sorel replied, "Okay, I'm all-in."

After a brief sigh, Fischman then asked the same question, albeit with slightly less confidence than his younger opponent.

Acting rather nervously (acting, perhaps?), Sorel didn't really answer Fischman, at first merely implying that he had him covered.

"I know you have me covered," continued Fischman, "but I want to know how many you have."

Still not answering fully, Sorel pushed out a pile of blues and said, "Well, that's 100k there."

Fidgeting somewhat, Sorel continued to look uncomfortable, but Fischman didn't seem to be paying too much attention to any potential tells or reverse tells, seemingly more focused on trying to work out the pattern of the hands and the series of events that had preceded the final all-in.

After a while, he either decided that he was definitely behind, or simply didn't fancy sticking in his remaining 100+k without being sure, and so opted for a fold, exhaling, "Okay, it's yours" in the progress.

A quick flick of the cards across the line (only just though), and we had what I believe to be our latest chip leader, but I was left wondering desperately what the prodigal Mizzi held.

æææææøøøøøøåååååå   Can you give me an update on Jan Sjåvik please??

OK OK... something has happened to a lot of his chips, he's now down to 34,800 after this hand against Erica Schoenberg, who raised 3,200 which he called in the big blind.  Flop:    Jan bet out 5,000, and got a pretty fast call.  It all slowed down thereafter, with a check-check on both the turn and the river.
"A very small pair," announces your man, getting ready to muck his cards, and sure enough, she shows a winning .

He sits in exactly the same position a lot of the time.  I actually accused Snoopy earlier of copying and pasting one of my photos, but he didn't.  If anyone gets posture reads, they don't get them off this guy.


P.S.  Yes, that's very clever you can type those letters - what I was asking was the key combination on a regular PC laptop to shortcut it

What time u due to finish guys?

In 40 mins... that's 4:50am UK time and 8:50pm over here (otherwise known as Buffet O'Clock).

Praz is on 210,000.

"They're all-in almost every hand," he complains. "Last time I raised, I made it 7k and the guy next to me pushed for 150k. I can't call. I show an Ace and he flips over 9-5. Why would he go all-in for 150k with that?"

[Djinn]

After that hand Snoopy just reported - here's Sorel Mizzi's new improved stack:
