Is Tim Flanders from Blackpool?

[danafish]

Another split pot for Tim Flanders - all in on a  board, Alan Mclean calls. They both turn over 9-T off, and the  turn and river are no help for anyone.

Mohammed Hassan is OUT in 15th place, he felt he couldn't pass his to the re-raise from Andrew Psaras who was holding . And after an unthreatening board, it was handshakes and exits.

And here is Psaras with his princely stack, whilst Mickey Wernick who has had to grind it hard today is left still nursing his pauperish amount of chips.

Tim Flanders screwed up his eyes and turned his face skywards, as if to spit in God's face.

Great turn of phrase Dana, but I can't help but feel that a gurntastic photo-opportunity slipped through your fingers 

It's not my fault! Jen provided me with an Update Kit consisting of a laptop with an unfamiliar operating system, a camera with dead batteries, and 3 kinds of painkiller. Chris is on gurnage duty today...

I'm sorry to hear that you are in pain (unless the painkillers are for recreational purposes )

But I hasten to add that the description was as good as a photo anyhow and in no way detracted from my enjoyment of the update 

PS Any chipcount for Jim (Bookiebasher) Moult please ?

I don't know, and now have no way of finding out as he went OUT a few minutes ago. Not sure exactly what happened, but he ended up all in with JT against Paul Gourlay's AJ, the board reading Q-Q-Q-A-A.

By the way, blinds are currently 1500/3000, 13 left in, average stack 113,100. Blinds will be going up to 2k/4k in around 10 minutes.

Andrew Psaras and Ramazanali Abbassi both check a  flop, and then the  turn. Psaras checks the  river, and Abbassi bets, but Psaras doesn't take the bait. Abbassi shows his Q-J - Psaras says he has an ace, which shows some restraint there.

Incidentally, Mickey Wernick doubled up off of Psaras a little while back - KK against T9. Psaras is nowhere near short though - he has an absolute bunch of chips.

He's just doubled through Paul Gourlay with Nines against Fives. Up to 40k.

10 minute break. Blinds then 2k/4k

how is Mr Red doing? oh and Mantis?

[NoflopsHomer]

how is Mr Red doing? oh and Mantis?

Mantis is still plugging away but short after losing the big pot with trips vs a flush draw. Red went out a couple of pages ago.

lol..that's what I get for not reading 2 pages and watching F1 instead I guess.

Jim 'BookieBasher' Moult has just doubled up again, in an unraised pot, he was small blind vs Abbassi's big blind.

He bet out 6k on a board and Abbassi moved in. Jim began to think, to the point that Micky Wernick and Paul Gourlay rushed off to outside the cardroom for a quick fag like a pair of schoolboys. I got a quick glance at Jim's cards, . He dwelt for a while. Abbassi asked him what he had and, when Jim replied, "Top pair," Abbassi went quiet, but it looked as though Jim was too deep in concentration looking at the table to notice Abbassi's reaction to him saying, "Top pair."

Jim then stood up, and said, "I think I'm going to call...I'm going to gamble."

Abbassi turned over and Jim was rewarded by his call with blanks on the turn and river, he's on about 80k now. (He also looks like a slightly older Ben Grundy to me in this photo )


Andy Louca on the other table is OUT. His uber-short stack fell to Brian Welby's . Ten on the flop.

Woohoo nice one Jim, top bloke considering he's a bookie 

[danafish]

Brian Welby raises to 14k, and Ash Hussain reraises all-in for about the rest of Welby's stack. Eventually Welby passes, saying he had AK. "I thought you didn't play AK," says Ash. "Not against you," says Welby.

Meanwhile there's some raising over on the other table, and suddenly Andy Johnson announces all-in. Then he gets up and wanders off. "Andy!" somebody shouts, "Stay at the table! Oh, it's ok, he's passed."

[jpean]

I suppose there is only 2 tables now, is it ?

Can we have their composition ? with an assessment of the stacks if possible please?

[danafish]

Paul Gourlay is OUT.

It folds around to his button and he pushes. Jim Moult and Engineer Abbassi fold their blinds.

Next hand it folds around to him on the cutoff and he pushes again - this time Mclean and his super-stack make the call.

Gourlay - 

Mclean - 

Board  -  ("F***!!!!" shouts Gourlay and slams his fist on the table)  ("Five! FIVE!" squeals Gourlay) 

And he is gone.
