OK moving on - new hand involving players to whom I am hesitant to assign names - the redraw at 109 players messed up my carefull constructed seating identification plan.  So please refer to photos (Interactive thread) for more detail.

Matey1 (Franklin Caldwell) gets it all in preflop, called in two spots.  Mateys two and three look at the flop while as is traditional the all-in player stands up and can only watch with a sinking heart as Matey2 bets 60k into the dry side pot.  Call by Matey3.
Turn:    Matey3 checks, Matey2 bets 130k.  Call again.
River:    Whatever happened here happened very fast and while a tall person stepped in front of me, so I'll say it went check-check.  Yes, that must be the case, as Matey2 showed his for the flopped set, while Matey3's guardian angel must have brought his the two outer on the river to take the whole pot, getting a bit of an earful, however, about calling so much when the side pot was empty...

Praz gives the glass-half-empty thumbs down sign, but we both gave him the half-full thumbs up as he put his 300k or so chips to use... He called Loi Phan's preflop raise to 30k from the big blind, and checked the flop.  Phan bet 50k and Praz min-check-raised him, eventually winning a few more.  It might have been a slow day for him, but he's clearly, somehow, got the stamina for it despite having had no sleep since, presumably, pre-Manchester.

Humberto Brenes is OUT.

Didn't catch the hand, but I hear he got rivered.

How many left please, whats the average and what time we done???  Cheers muchly

57 left; they redraw again at 54 for no apparent reason.

Done in half an hour.

Barny Boatman is OUT.

He raised it up with , but found a raise and a re-raise behind him.

With 90k in front of him and a 350k pot on offer, Barny decided to gamble.

As he expected, his cards were live as the re-re-raiser had A-K, which ultimately stood up, even though Barny flopped a cheeky flush draw.

He looked genuinely gutted, but he had a good run this year and he'll be back. Only a matter of time before he cracks a big comp.

You how all the girl swoon at the feet of Patrik Antonius? Well, they might have second thoughts now because he currently has the expression of a bulldog chewing on a wasp AND a stinging nettle after his was outdrawn by Ben Johnson's on a board, hitting the River.

Antonius down to just 42k, tournament director has requested a drug test on Johnson.

Mikael Thuritz is getting involved in quite a few hands, it looks like (he's Claus Nielsen's tip, in general)... First of all he lost a couple to Loi Phan who called his utg 30k from the big blind and called his 40k bet on the flop.  The came on the turn, Mikael bet out 70k, but passed fairly quickly after he got check-raised a further 70k.

Then he won a few from Sorel Mizzi, who raised on the button to 26k, Michael calling in the bb.  Flop:    Check to Sorel who bet 40k; call.
Turn:    check-check
River:    Mikael Thuritz bet 150k, a kind of "that's about half my stack, I am probably not folding" kind of bet, which worked, in the end.
