[NoflopsHomer]

Will Mitchell and Mark Wycherly are very early casualties.

[NoflopsHomer]

Mick Jones raises to 7,200 in EP.

Scott O'Reilly moves all-in, Damion Merry calls for his short stack. Jones passes.

O'Reilly has the American Airlines. Merry has K-7

Board:

K-5-6-K-T.

Jones passed Jacks but perhaps he'll be rueing the fact he's made a huge oversized raise from EP (6xBB) and was only likely to get action from a better hand.



Rod Langton doubles through Carl Dawson with Jacks against Ace Queen on a 4-J-T-8-2 board.

David Tighe moves over the top of a Chris Gavriel raise, slight dwellathon, but the latter passes.

[JungleCat03]

Well well well, the action is fast and furious in the first 20 minutes...

Big Barry Neville is strangely sedate at the moment in terms of his verbal contributions but he is working his stack, reraising an early position raise allin and receiving a pass, following up with a button raise which again gets a pass...

Meanwhile Carl Dawson is out at the hands of Chris Moore.

An A high flop was sufficient for both players' chips to launch into the middle but Chris' dominating AQ had Carl's A8 in a headlock and got the submission it rightly deserved. Exit, Carl Dawson, good game. Chris is up to virtually 35k now, which is just a tad above average...

[JungleCat03]

Mickey Wernick raises to 2600 but a 30k reraise allin from Tony Chapman convinces him and the Big Blind who ums and ahs a bit to fold...

Barry Neville is seen putting in a big raise, rewarded with a pass in the BB. He flashes an ace and says "I ad a biggun with that wan!"

As I scoot past he collars me, thankfully not literally, to tell me how he's faring...

"Ahm seein' so many 'ands. Ah've 'ad twice, AQ, AK pocket , it's oonbeleivable!"

He's making the most of getting smacked by the deck, increasing his stack to roughly 40k...

[NoflopsHomer]

Mickey Wernick just lost a huge chunk of his chips with Jacks to Anthony Horn's Kings.



The Worm's decision may have been affected when Horn got into a big raising war with Johnny Hewston , both getting all their chips in with errr.. 4-4 and erm... 4-4.


This is where Chris Hooper keeps his chips.



Mark Lowe raised it up, Hooper made it 30(!)k, William Moore pushed behind with Aces, Lowe passed Sixes and Hooper had ...

Board:

[NoflopsHomer]

Hewston doesn't seem to have a problem. He just knocked out Mick Jones with Sixes against Kings. Six on the river. Very next hand he raises the recently doubled-up Tony Horn's big blind with Aces and Horn decided to push with . More chips to Hewston...

[JungleCat03]

ActionJack looks to have 30-32k at the moment, as he chats merrily away with Jon Raab...

Johnny Hewston is happily sitting behind a huge wall of chips that is the right side of 100k...

There's a rather sick hand involving Rayazz Muller.

Rod Langton raises to 12k UTG, with 6-8k back, Piers Whyman "shoves", for 12.4k, passed round to Rayazz in the BB who calls the extra 10k or so and Rod makes up the extra 400.

the flop comes 98J, checked by Rayazz and Rod moves his last 8k or so into the middle.  Rayazz makes the call..

Rod turns over AA, Piers KK and Rayazz the seemingly hopeless 33...

BUT poker wouldn't be poker without the odd shock and the 3 on the turn and blank river must've been a dagger blow to Rod and Piers' collective hearts, as Rayazz eliminated both and added a significant amount of chips to his stack.

Meanwhile Barry Neville IS OUT!

Although I didn't see the hand, the word is he was allin for 28k preflop with K8 and ran into AA.

Mickey Wernick is very short at the moment and is unlikely to last long without some swift double ups...but if anyone can....

[NoflopsHomer]

Alan McLean has busted out after limp re-raising all-in against Ian Cox with Eights. Sadly for Alan, Ian was holding the bullets. No help on the board.



Johnny Hewston is chip leader with about 160k and has said he isn't going to play a hand for the next few levels.

Praz just got a little help on the river from a third lady, after he had Queens against Andreas Kallis' Aces to add another 20k or so to his stack.

[JungleCat03]

Julian Thew doubled up not long ago.

His AJ didn't look in good shape allin preflop vs his opponent's AQ.

The flop gave Julian the J he needed but also gave his opponent a Q high flush draw. The turn added a few more outs but the blank on the river secured the pot for an apologetic Julian, boosting him up to 45k or so...

Johnny Hewston: "The one player I didn't want with chips has just doubled up!"

Thanks DaChamp for Raul's official nickname. I haven't got his latest stack but I know "The Bull's" stack was halved early on with vs QhQs on a J hi 3 heart flop where he missed his outs...

Johnny Hewston remains the current chip leader as we approach the first break.

[NoflopsHomer]

Julian Thew doubled up not long ago.

His AJ didn't look in good shape allin preflop vs his opponent's AQ.

The flop gave Julian the J he needed but also gave his opponent a Q high flush draw. The turn added a few more outs but the blank on the river secured the pot for an apologetic Julian, boosting him up to 45k or so...

Johnny Hewston: "The one player I didn't want with chips has just doubled up!"

Julian hadn't actually seen the UTG raise there, and openly admitted to being very lucky.

Bev Pace had her Eights cracked by Q-J which made a straight,



But then doubled up shortly afterwards pushing with Q-T against A-6 and hitting trip queens.

Reyaaz Mulla knocked out Paul Jackson with K-J against A-Q. Jackson was 'not best pleased' with the call.

After an UTG raise to 5,700. Sunny Chattha makes it 17,000 from mid position.



UTG folds.

[NoflopsHomer]

Last hand before the break, Praz raises to 4,500. Thewy makes it 14,500, Johnny Hewston in the big blind ask how much Thewy has left, then folds. Praz, believing Hewston folded an Ace, passes his face up. Julian claims Nines.

Blinds are now 1k/2k with a 200 ante.

[JungleCat03]

Praz involved in a couple of big hands.

I join his table to see him  pass KK to a 15k bet on the river of a A xxx T flop. His opponent shows TT for a rivered set...

The blinds now 1k 2k, Praz raises to 6k preflop, Johnny Hewston calls in the BB.

The flop is .

Check, Check.

Turn is the .

Check Check.

River 6 and Johnny Hewston bets out 20k into the 14k or so pot...

Praz : "Will you show?"

Johnny : "I'll show if you pay 20k"

Praz is not happy but eventually passes, showing AQ...

Johnny shows him 66 for another rivered set!
