Goodnight Ms Nun.

57 left in now, that's an average of 25,800 off the top of my head. Blinds still at 300/600 for a bit.

Can we have an idea of the biggest stacks ?

Thanks for updates...

Any time! Tell all your friends! Weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs etc, all updated at competitive rates...

Hey, no spamming your bar mitzvah update service on blonde... although you two really are the best in the business.  L'chaim!

On a  flop, Mateyboy - a black guy in a slightly-Village-People-but-I-wouldn't-say-that-to-his-face black leather cap, if anyone can tell me his name from that - anyway, he bets, and Tim Blake calls.

Turn -  - YMCBoy bets again, and Tim calls again. Cap Man now has just 2800 left in front of him.

River -  - Cap Man now checks and Tim bets 3500 to cover him. And the pain in Cap Man's eyes as he quietly folds, lovingly cradling his last few chips in his hand. Heartbreaking.

I raise a glass of kiddush wine to you! Banjos also played. I can dress up as a clown too if you want but I take no responsibility for any nightmares your children might have, nor therapy bills incurred.

Sometimes it's really difficult to know who the chip leader is. The ever changing stack sizes as the chips spin everywhere on this merry-go-round game. But here it's easy.

Bloody easy.

Andy Johnson has roughly 150k.

Translation: 10% of the chips in play, and average for the final table despite the fact there are still nearly 60 people left.

He just raised K8 on the small blind and Peter Evans just flat called with Queens in the big. The flop came King high and all the chips went in.

Here's a picture of the stack, Dana speculates that because of it's size, it most likely has a gravitational pull on all the other chips drawing them closer.

Jim Reid has doubled through Matt Tyler.

Jim pushed his short stack in on a board. Matt pushed behind him, as he would when holding . Jim was holding though...

Turn:



River:

Yup, he has almost exactly the average with 29,100. Although bearing in mind how many chips Andy Johnson has, that's considerably above average out of the non-chip-leader players.

Other counts I happened to notice include Paul Jackson on around 18k, and Pippa Flanders on just 8k - eek.

Short break right now, blinds up to 400/800 when they come back. 50 left, average (including Andy Johnson) 29,400.

And what about Ash Hussein now please ?

Is he always over the average stack ?

Paul is only happy when he has 60-80% of the average stack, any more he gets out of his comfort zone. Wish him luck from me please, and also Tim Blake...and ask wtf was he doing in that hand with shaf with a poxy straight draw!

Oy you, who pressed your button? Shouldn't you be swimming in your money bank?

Matt Tyler is OUT, pushed with Tens. Andy Johnson had Kings(!).

Crazy pot time.

Guy UTG wants to min-raise but it's counted as a string bet so he can only flat-call. Now guy UTG+1 makes it 3k to go (300/600). Red Dog is next and ends up flat-calling. Now passed round to Andy Johnson and he moves in(!) Blinds fold, the UTG passes (bet he was glad!). UTG+1 senses he might be beat, but ends up pushing his chips in. Now on Red Dog, he umm's and aaahhh, before flicking his cards away like you'd push away a really nice piece of cake you wanted but knew was bad for you. He passed Queens.

UTG+1 shows:

Andy Johnson shows:

Board:



And UTG+1 scoops, what looks to be a 50k pot. Who is this person you might ask?

It's Mark 'Mantis01' Allden, who'll writes quite often (and thoughtfully) on the PHA boards.
