Ram Vaswani is now on 65k and the probable chip leader after winning a huge pot off Jean Paul Pasqualini, eliminating him in the process.

When I joined, the cards were on the back and the had been dealt out, Ram scooping the lot with versus .

It looks like Jonathan Fhal is now out, and the internet crashed pre-dinner break before I could relate this hand - a stage in his demise:

A board of and Daniel Smits checked...Jonathan bet 4,200 - leaving himself just over 5k behind.  Daniel moved all-in, covering him by a good margin.  This was clearly not what he'd had in mind...a mutter of "putain!" and some of the angriest chip riffling I have ever seen later and he passed, giving the 7k+ pot to the young Danish player and now his seat is empty.

Blinds are still just 100/200 ante 25...

[snoopy1239]

Mark Teltscher seems to be having a torrid time. He's still in touch with 15k, but he seems exceedingly frustrated today, banging his chips a little, gurning and whatnot.

I think he must have folded a big hand off Eric Larchveque because he keeps asking if he had a full house in a prior hand.

[snoopy1239]

"How did you get in here looking like that," asks Ramzi Jelassi pointing to my Back To The Future T-Shirt.

Well, I guess I know people in high places. Either that or I was wearing my jacket when I came in. 

[snoopy1239]

57 players remaining
Blinds = 100/200 (25)
1st = 422k

[snoopy1239]

Flop =

Eric Cajelais bets out 1.5k, but Patrick Schull makes it 3k and takes it down.

[snoopy1239]

Down to 56, Farouk Bensalem sent to the sidlines by Stephane Lering.

[snoopy1239]

We went from 68 to 40 last night.

Any blondeites fancy guessing what we'll end up with tonight? 56 at the moment, started with 71.

Any bids? There's a prize in it for you if you get it spot on...

[Djinn]

Sorel Mizzi is doing well (again).  He just got involved in a pot with right-hand-side neighbour Patrick Schnell, who looked like he might have called a raise from Sorel on the small blind.  This would mean the raise had come from under the gun... I am not going to swear they weren't big blind/small blind, however, might just ask in the break.

Anyway, the flop they saw was:  , with a coming on the turn.  At this point there was already around 10k in the pot (wish I caught the beginning of some of these big pots - but to do that you've just got to get lucky and decide to make notes on a hand before it's even gotten interesting...).  Patrick checked the turn to Sorel, who bet 5k.  Call.
River:    Patrick checked again, Sorel bet 13k.  A think through later, and he got a call - he showed the , value betting that river which made the board less than comfortable for the straight, and getting paid off anyway by a hand Patrick mucked with obvious displeasure, table bang and everything.  I have noticed that the table-smack usually comes in the UK when someone with less than perfect self-control has performed a particularly lucky beat on someone else, or had a hand hold up in circumstances so tense they can't control their arm.  But here it seems to mainly be a response to frustration with an unfavourable outcome.

46 is my guess.

43.  That's what it'll be.  That way they'll have to colonise the hallway by just one table.
