A bit of table talk.

Roland asks Galasso 'What your biggest cash in a tournament?'

Galasso mumbles 'I haven't won anything'


Translation -

Roland - 'When I re-raise you will you pass?'

Galasso - 'Probably'

Bach has re-raised all-in 3 times running to take decent pots, each time with viable hands. Twice Roland was the victim.

Rolland raises again and is re-raised by Galasso, holding Aces. Roland lays it down. He's trying to convince the table that he's been raising with strong hands but K,10 was the pick of the bunch.

3 raise/folds and Roland is down to 750,000 ish.

Bach up to about 1.3m

More like 580k for Roland. Go Rolandinho!

Roy The Boy Brindley, in such a tense looking chair-crouch that he looks like he's about to launch himself over the table at Seat 1.  He did say in the hall on the way down here this morning that this was the event he looked forward to all year, though, "The real Main Event."  As far as I can see there are at least three contenders for this title.

   So cool he can eat ice-cream on a stick at the final table and not look silly.

As I ventured back towards the pressroom, I spotted Jennifer Harman chatting away on the phone, so it looks like she's out. Either that or she has unhealthy addictions to sex lines.

Brian Haversen bets 6k into a board of , leaving himself just 3 or 4k behind. After a lengthy period in the think tank, Jason Lester folds, only for Brian to show him .

Roy Brindley (45-50k) says, "I've been up and down up and down. I'll be all right if I can get a beer."

Meanwhile, Paul Jackson pays off last year's Main Event finalist (3rd, in fact) 2k bet on a board of , Binger quickly announcing Pocket Threes for a full house.

How about this for an eclectic table!

Jeff Kimber -- 12,100
Martin Vallo -- 43,700
Dave Callaghan -- 15,700
Joe Beevers -- 23,500
Michael Greco -- 22,500
Doyle Brunson -- 48,300
Thomas Wahlroos

And if you're wondering why I've left The Eggman's count out, it's because he's stacking his chips, a 5k Turn bet followed by 11k on the River of a board being enough to get his neighbour to fold... reluctantly.

Marc Karam is here in the pressroom relating his tales of woe to a fellow journalist fans, so I'm afraid he's bitten the dust.

Jeff Kimber is OUT - Short stacked JaffaCake re-raised Doyle Brunson preflop (sandwiching one caller in the middle) t0 6,200 (blinds are now 200/400).  Doyle made the call, and this left them heads up for the flop.  It was pretty irrelevant what came on the flop, because Jeff only had 3,400 behind, which Doyle now bet out, getting an instacall.

Jeff gets up, stopping to relate the tale to Paul Jackson sitting at the table behind him.  "At least there's something for my blog," says Jeff, planning the entry How I Got Rivered By A Legend, or some such.
