please can you give me a update on Andy Miles thanks

Could you keep and eye on Dickie Jones, Table 3 please? Any updates would be great, wish him look from all the Durham lads. Cheers

updates on Sunny and James pls?

Junglecat is on these as we speak. The fire alarm just went off incredibly loudly and there's now 35 firemen in the casino checking all the bins. When the alarm stopped, it was announced that the alarm was caused by Micky Wernick winning a pot...

Photos to follow once I get Chris to show me how to get pictures off the camera. Later on he will be giving me advanced lessons in how to tie my shoelaces and do joined up writing too.

Despite my technological incompetence, I did manage to speak to Andy Miles.

"How's it going Andy"
"Hahaha terribly"
"Shall I say you are cautiously optimistic?"
More laughter "If you like!"

Andy is cautiously optmistic....



As I go to see James Akenhead, he is deep in conversation with Nick Persaud, so I don't disturb him, other than flashing a bulb in his face briefly. He seems to be holding a stack of about 17k or so and looking very confident. One of the older players is telling James he gave him " a lot of respect there" after James has just picked up a pot. Chips and respect, the man is flying...



Dickie Jones is looking slightly bored, but is involved in an interesting hand in the BB as I arrive.

Both blinds check to mateyboy on the button who bets 225, which is raised by the sb and reraised by Dickie . Button and SB pass. A nice addition to his stack  but the face resting on fist pose remains. I snap a quick and terrible picture of him before a fire alarm causes chaos and I run to the press room to post these pictures before my charred corpse is dragged out of the casino....such is my dedication to the job.

Turns out it was a false alarm anyway but here they are. Please go easy on me, I'm not the world's greatest photographer I must concede!

Gramps says, "Isn't it past your bedtime?"

Tim -- 9,500
Actionjack -- 15,600
Andy -- 2,000

Tim just told me of a huge pot Chris Gavriel won off Jon Wong, 50k at least. Jon raised up with aces, two hearts came on the flop, but Gavriel waited til the turn to re-raise all-in and then river the heart, which must make him the chip leader now.

Jerome Bradpiece is OUT, card dead for two hours, then Queens into Kings. He has gone to the cash game now.

Great updates as usual - JC, it's like you've been doing these as long as the others

Photos are top notch.  Flops, just make sure that nasty, bright flash doesn't upset the rather delicate players.  Maybe they're gremlins and have an aversion to 'bright light, bright light' .

Tell the Skinny Pieman to get that lever into gear - oh and tell the old fella to remember 'patience, patience, patience'.

sorry jaffa cake, that was me, (nik girlfriend). i am ashamed of myself :-(

Tikay's stack, it's supposed to be a Train Signal.



Chip leader Chris Gavriel.



Billy Ngo is OUT. He held on a board vs Nik Persaud's , the turn was the and the river was to send the Walsall runner-up home.

Andrew Feldman just had one of those, "why why why do I get so much action when I have such a good hand dammit" looks on his face. With the board reading , D Tanna checked, Mateyboy bet 1,500. Andrew raised to 3,000. D Tanna pushed  for 7,275 total and so did Mateyboy for much less causing Andrew incredible exasperation. He had to call with his and was up against and . The set holding, eliminating matey and knocking Andrew down to around 4,500.

Ian Herbet -- 27.7k

111 left, 14.9k average stack.

ha, i'll let u off, if you have to out with a fella wearing glasses like deirdre you probably desere a break

[JungleCat03]

As I walk past Micky Wernick, I ask how he's going, secretly knowing the answer won't be great as I glance at his micro stack.

"Not so bad, got at least an ante" he says comically.

He obviously has more than this though as his cut off push is passed round to the big blind who also passes after a long think.

Micky shows AT and increases his stack to just under 2000.....

Simon Trumper is spotted doing a crossword with his neighbour and solving one of the clues to his neighbours delight.....I wonder if that will stop him stealing his blinds later...

James Akenhead looks to have taken a big hit to his stack. Facing a large bet on the river, he eventually folds and appears to be under 10k now....

Kevin O'leary aka Lovejoy raises a limper to about 850 which is called by the big blind.

The flop comes . 

Check. Lovejoy bets 1100 or so which is called.

The turn is the . Check Check.

River a low blank. Check. Lovejoy moves in for his remaining stack of about 6k or so. BB folds.... and kevin adds the 4k pot to his collection of chips.......

Meanwhile the much followed and "cautiously optimistic" Andy Miles pushes his stack in preflop, the other player ums and arrs before saying "I've got to call" and wishes he hadn't as Andy shows AA, his opponent A6 and no shocks happen Andy doubles up to 6k or so.....

Blinds up to 150/300 ante 25

Micky Wernick has reportedly just doubled up to 7k. The whiskered magician never knows when to quit.....
