[Hewstonjr]

how many they playing down to tonight?

[JungleCat03]

30 or so looks to be best guesstimate....

Edit :Ignore me reporting hands floppy has already reported more accurately earlier...

[NoflopsHomer]

Raul Parez, the chip leader. We think we will dub him 'The Spanish Trawler' as he seems to like fishing in British waters.



Paul Jackson, err...looking at the size of his opponent's stack I guess...

[NoflopsHomer]

Short break now before the last level.

[Chili]

 

Did a nice waitress just walk by?

[NoflopsHomer]

Actionjack on Raul, "The deck has hit him in the face a couple of times but he's not making any mistakes."

F Jones just moved in against him holding the nut-flush, shame Raul already had Quads.

Alan Vinnicombe was eliminated just prior to the end of the last level. A-J vs 5-5 on a A-5-8-K-K board, all-in on the flop.

A short bio on our slightly unknown spanish chip leader....

"The Spanish Trawler", as he has been christened by Noflops, Raul Paez, is quite the seasoned professional with close to $750k's worth of cashes on his CV, his biggest being a 3rd place in the 2006 Gold Strike World Poker Open, Tunica for just shy of $300k.

Definitely a force to be reckoned with in this tournament as he sits on 108,000 with the next biggest stack on less than 50k.

The next level beckons, they'll be some crazy stuff going on next door, so hold on tight, it'll be a bumpy ride....

[Hewstonjr]

any updates?

[NoflopsHomer]

Loads of limpers on table Hewston/Actionjack.

Flop:



Checked to Johnny, who bets 2k, Paul McNamara moves all-in for 12k total. Over to Paul Jackson in the small blind, who goes in the tank when...

"Paul! Paul!" shouts Paul Parker from the next table.

"Hang on, he's actually in a hand this time," says Johnny Hewston.

"It's ok, I can multi-task," answers Actionjack.

"Oh, I was actually talking to another Paul on that table..." finishes Paul Parker to much laughter.



Actionjack passes. Hewston makes the call with , far ahead of McNamara's Q-T and stays that way. The walls of Hewston are very tall now. Actionjack actually passed K-T.

[JungleCat03]

Barry Neville is very short now.

After raising from the hijack to 3600, the button, Tom Sambrook, pushed for jsut over 10k. After a sigh and a short think, Barry, eventually called the extra 6500.

Barry showed Qs9s and Tom AhKd.

The Q 34 flop looked good, but the K on the turn and T on the river, left Tom doubled up and Barry on life support looking rather glum.

Another hand from this table, Minos Sarmias raises from the hijack to 2300. The big blind calls the extra 1500. The J98 flop is checked by both players but on the Q turn, the BB's check is followed up by a bet of 2500 by minos who takes down the 5k and change pot.

[NoflopsHomer]

"Just like that," as Tommy Cooper said. Bazza doubles up with Fives against Ace Jack.

[Hewstonjr]

Reason 215 why Praz Bansi is a better player than you or I:

You or I don't get Aces when the person to our immediate right moves all-in with Ace Ten.

[JungleCat03]

Sonny Chattha raises to 2.2k UTG, Barry Neville calls. The flop comes and Sonny's 4.4k follow up bet is insta folded by Barry.

Tony Chapman moves in from the button for just short of 10k, Sonny passes his Big blind.

Next hand passed round to Tony Chapman and he pushes once again to no resistance, this time showing AQ....

Barry's turn to push from UTG "Time to mek a beeg bet" he says as he pushes his chips over the line.

All passed to Minos in the big blind who counts out his chips, seemingly contemplating his call while looking at Barry for a reaction.

"Well i can't do eny moer damage, I've shooved em allin" offers Barry sagely.

Minos eventually passes...

In other news, Darren Fuller has just been knocked out I've been informed. RIP.
