[ariston]

for her fanclub (tikay's one anyway) isabelle  has 92k and is feeling very comfortable. I hope betfair are going to open a new market later in week to allow backing/laying before final.

[Mrs C]

El Blondie is on the same starting table as Scotty who was the overnight chip leader.
Scotty has the button and Dave is on the BB.  - no preasure then!

Mad Marty is also on the table

Mad Marty goes all in 2nd hand with pocket 4's and is called with JJ. But he gets very lucky and and flops quad's! He is now up to 70K.

344 players in the field.

[Mrs C]

To Dave's Left there an invisible man, he was there yesterday too, he has 30K left.

[tikay]

They are on the day's first break now.

Dave Colclough has 56k

simon Trumper is struggling with 6k - come on Simon!

Mad Marty has 72k, afer looking dead & buried earlier with 44 against JJ, but catching quads.

And Spioderman has 90k.

More as it comes through....

[tikay]

No sooner the word, than I've had this from Dave.  He's getting good at this updating lark.........

Barny 65k

Jioe Beevers 107k

Noah Boeken 90k

John Gale 20k

Noel Furlong 50k

Paul Maxfield 100k

Scotty has played 3 hands today, (very tikay-ish) & won them all (very un-tikay-ish), & has a whopping 266k.

[tikay]

298 runners left.

Blinds 500, 1,000, Running Ante 100.

[tikay]

Mad Marty has a setback. First hand back after the break he has AQ against JJ, but fails to hit - he's back down the fierld now with about 45k.

[tikay]

Invisible Man - 25k. This is the guy - or lady - who failed to show up either yesterday or today, & has gradually blinded away. Course, Dave is not taking adavntage of this.....

Maybe it was Paul Phillips - he became a father yesterday for the first time, to a girle thing, Ivy Phillips.

[tikay]

And our WPT hero John Gale is OUT......

John would not have anted away, thats for sure....

I played with John a few times, he a seriously unorthodox player, but a bugger to play against....

[ariston]

Joe Grech is chip leader

[tikay]

Mad Marty gets all-in with AK, & is up against 88.

Board comes....

A....LOVELY

A....Even Lovelier
