[NoflopsHomer]

Roberto Romanello goes all-in. DC calls.

Roberto:



Dave:



Board:



The talkative Welsh-Italian survives.

[Djinn]

It's OVER (the bubble)... after a failed attempt at saver-creation for 28th, the unfortunate bubble was Philip Alden, who made a stand with kd (as one is generally prepared to do) called by Katherine Hartree's ... One Queen on the flop and one on the turn later and the relief of the room was palpable...


Oh, and Darren Ground went out the same hand with A-K vs. J-J.  The rule is they split the 27th place money....

[NoflopsHomer]

Anthony Romanello has doubled up with A-8 against K-T. An ace hitting the flop.

[Djinn]

SO - these two neighbours just been all in within the last 20 minutes.  The one on the right, in the grey hoody, Manuel Palenca, pushed with , only to run smack into and left in 26th place with a shrug...

The other doubled through after shoving with the same hand - and getting this reaction from Shaf in the big blind: "I got 6k in there already, that's what you gotta remember.  How much more?  Tell me, I call.  I know you don't have much, don't you worry about that."
Alan Dean showed: 

Flop:  Ah  Shaf: "You got plenty now."

[NoflopsHomer]

Barney Boatman doubled up with K-T against the Jacks of Marty Wilson, all-in on a K-6-7 board.

Steve Jelinek doubles up with against Koroush Nikkhahe's

Board:

.

Flushy makes it 20k utg, Raj Modha makes it 34k. Flushy called.

Flop:



Flushy checks, Raj, "All-in." Flushy, "Marvellous." And passes.

Shortly afterwards, Flushy, Nik Persaud and Dave Smith see a flop:



Flushy checks, Nik checks, Dave bets 16k. Flushy calls. Now Nik makes it 35k, Dave passes and Flushy re-raises enough to make Nik committed if he calls. Nik has the clock called on him before passing . Good pass? What did Flushy have?

Anthony Romanello is OUT, crippled with Nines against Jacks, he then held Ace Queen against Shaf's Nines and missed.

[Djinn]

Katherine Hartree is OUT -

Limping on the button for 6k (after Sapiano limped in early position), Flushy raised a further 20k from the small blind.  Quickly losing the first limper, Katherine thought about it for a while before pushing her remaining chips in with .  Instacall from Flushy with his ...
Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

And at the exact same minute, Michael Greco was pushing in on one of the other tables with - he got a call from Mad Marty's , and with no improvement, it came to a countdown to see who had more chips.  Very close...(Marty's towers have dwindled since the start of the day) but Greco was covered so we've lost Michael Greco in 22nd place too.

[Djinn]

DC vs. Ashby - river shocker:

With all three DTD players on the same end of the same table, there were always going to be hands between them, and one just now knocked El Blondie down to a short stack.  Big blind DC called Ashby's preflop raise, and bet out 20k on the flop.  Call.
Turn:    Dave checked, Richard checked
River:    Dave checked, Richard bet 35k.  Dave went right into the tank, head in hands, thinking about it for a good long while, before making the call, for nearly half his stack.

Richard showed and Dave looked for a second like he was going to flip his hand, but mucked in the end.

[NoflopsHomer]

DC is now OUT in 21st place.

He pushed on a board. Marty Wilson called with , with only 25k back. Dave showed

[NoflopsHomer]

Roberto Romanello has tripled up with Ace King against Barney and Marty, hitting an Ace on the flop. He's up to 80k ish. Anthony is a bit gutted with his call with Nines against the Jacks. "Only mistake I made," he said.

[Djinn]

Taner Hasan is OUT in 20th spot (£2,100).  Short stack pushing preflop, he found newly re-chipped Roberto Romanello - definite favourite for Climber of the Day - calling, along with the other blind.  They checked it down - Roberto's had flopped two pair, and for the all in Hasan was the last hand he played.  Handshakes all round, and Roberto clearly barely believes what a comeback he's on...

[Djinn]

Meanwhile, check out the counts for table Flushy:

Koroush Nikkhahe   127k
James Dempsey      350k

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian Herbert is OUT. A-J no good against Barney Boatman's A-Q.

[NoflopsHomer]

Karim Louis is OUT, first his can't hold against short-stack Terry Burke's on a board.

Then his loses to of Barney Boatman to send him to the rail on an board.

[NoflopsHomer]

Short break. Chip counts to follow.
