Those that shouldn't be wearing socks = Greg Raymer

It amazes me after all these years that nobody has had a quick word in his ear...

Sammy Farha joins the 'take-a-decent-sized-pot' party by betting 2.4k on a board of board, then checking down the River with Phil Laak.

Farha's set of fours ( ) takes it down.

WPT final runner-upper and New Zealand pro, Kirk Morrison, is struggling with just 7.9k, his last confrontation seeing him bet 3k on an , checking the River and losing to Mateyboy's .

No sign of Pete Costa as of yet.

The Dutch would fancy updates on Rolf from time to time

 

Rolf still has around his starting stack, but the important thing is that the tic-tac box is in place.

[snoopy1239]

any sign of foxy yet?

Yes, already spoken to him. If you wanna know what someone spends 450k on then don't get too excited, the furthest he's stretched is to a new pair of shoes, bright yellow ones, which he claims were inspired by me.

Michael Greco is also here flying the flag - his favourite game apparently. I was surprised he was a big Omaha man, but he claims this is his strongpoint, having won an Omaha comp recently. I won a break-dancing comp when I was a kid, but I'm rubbish at break-dancing.

Do you know if Mr Fish is playing?

[danafish]

I still want to see the award-winning breakdancing, by the way.

[Djinn]

Do you know if Mr Fish is playing?

Uh-huh, be-be.

any updates on andy black appreciated.

[Micko]

How many started the event?

[snoopy1239]

Well, I guess this is the way many players dread exiting an Omaha comp, getting it in with Aces v Aces and being outdrawn in what would usually be a split pot.

A raising war pre-flop sees the Hendon Mob's Ram Vaswani get it all-in pre-flop with against Mateyboy's .

Although the Flop brought a nerve-tingling flush draw, it was the unlikely backdoor straight that did the damage, Turn and River coming and respectively.

Ouch.

Our ringside witness, Padraig Parkinson, added, "Most of the time it'll be a slit. If it's for a coulple of hundred in chips, you chop it, if it's for a World Title, someone always wins.

Dave 'Dubai' Shallow isn't a happy chappy, a deep sigh coming from the high stake nutter after he lost to on a , obviously disappointed to see that club hit the River after calling 2.7k on the Turn.

Down to 21k, Dubai is in illustrious company sharing a table with some of the World's most dangerous and respected players in Marcel Luske, Mel Judah, David Sklansky, Jim Betchel and Barry 'The Bully' Martin.

Lyle Bernam is OUT, his Aces not enough to beat his neighbour's on an board.
