[NoflopsHomer]

Chris Bruce is OUT. A move with T-2 ran into Nik Persaud's A-9.

BREAKING NEWS, GREEN JOKERS

Michael Muldoon has just been crippled! It folded round to Jonathon Butters on the small blind, who called Muldoon's big. Muldoon moved all in. After a bunch of really amazing and amusing wittering form Muldoon that I shall not even attempt to replicate, Butters called.

Butters -

Muldoon -

Board -

...wait for it...



Ouch.

Muldoon has less than 20k and is utterly desperate.

[danafish]

Paul Leckey I'm afraid is also OUT - his was apparently no match for the powerhouse that was in the hands of Glenn Altham.

All in preflop, Glenn went on to finish up with a straight on the board.

[danafish]

Burnley John is having some trouble with his microstack - about 20k. against Jonathon Butters' and a split on the board.

Said John of his splitting misfortune - "You lucky fish".

[danafish]

how many left

18 now left, they've just broken a table because Paul Kemp ran his K-7 into Jonathon Butters' A-Q with no help from the board.

[danafish]

Can I get chip counts for Sunny Chattha, Nik P and Adam stoneham pls.

Sunny - about 160k
Nik - exactly 306.6k, in a beautiful stepped pyramid
Adam Stoneham - a very roughly estimated 60k in small denomination chips, and a very bad mood to go with it.

Saw Rookie lose a very large pot. When I wandered over there was already a fair sum in the pot and a flop of .

Turn - - J Marles bets 25k, Rookie calls.

River -  - Marles bets 35k and Rookie eventually calls.

Marles -

Rookie mucks.

We've lost one from each table.

Michael Muldoon lost with against Simon Taylor's

Board:

And on the other table...

board and Sunny Chattha moves all-in, Dave Clark eventually makes the call with , ahead of the of Chattha. An ace on the river helps neither and their are 16 left.

Players are on a short break now. No more exits just yet, although a few veeeery tense moments.

Ian Herbert raises to 25 or 30k, but when Glenn Altham goes all in he folds,  up. Altham shows AK.

Meanwhile on the other table Adam Wilkinson bets 35k and Jonathon Butters asks for a count (it's about 130), but raises just 40k. Adam moves all in for 88k on top. Butters asks if he should call. Says Wilkinson, "Depends if you wanna go. It's up to you, mate." Butters eventually folds face up with a sad "Good bet" to Wilkinson.

Also some excellent whimsy. Trevor Reardon raises under the gun and it folds around. The BB shows 4-5o, and Trevor shows 3-9o. Oh, you boys!

Clark, Dave 340000
Persaud, Nikhil 313000

Reardon, Trevor 128000
Butters, Jonathon 122500
Brevik, Jan Magnus 83000
Wooldridge, Warren 74500

[NoflopsHomer]

Warren Wooldrige's image is in tatters after shoving with from the button, Simon Taylor has called for all his chips with in the small blind.

Board:



Meaning Simon is out in 16th place winning £2,200.

15th to 12th get £2,500.

[NoflopsHomer]

Incidentally the reason for Taylor suddenly being short stacked was that he doubled up Jonathon Butters previously with Nines vs Ace Jack, Butters flopping trip Jacks.

[danafish]

Saw a curious fold before - Alan Vinson raised preflop to 42k and Tony Ringe reraised all in for 125.5k more, at which VIson folded face up. I would have called that, me. On my $5 sit n gos.

[danafish]

Play will STOP in about 15 minutes, coming back probably a bit early tomorrow to play down to final table. Apparently Adam Wilkinson and Burnley John are OUT, details to follow with Floppy shortly.

[NoflopsHomer]

Burnley John is OUT in 15th place, A-T into Alan Vinson's pocket tens.

And now some Adam on Adam action. Stoneham vs Wilkinson.

Stoneham re-raised Wilkinson all-in, the latter eventually making the call with , Stoneham showed

Board:



13 left.

Rookie just pushed against J Marles on an ace high board, after Marles called his limp/raise and then bet into him. Rookie's all-in had him folding an Ace though.
