Jane Macnamara is OUT in 16th place, with A-9o. Alan Mower had Queens.

We're in the money.

[JungleCat03]

Sonny Chattha has just lost a large chunk of chips with AQ v Scott O'Reilly's AK...

[NoflopsHomer]

Ian Cox has knocked out Alan Davies.

Ian raised to 11.5k preflop (2k/4k/300), Alan re-raised to 31.5k and Ian called.

Flop:



Alan moves in and Ian calls quickly.

Alan:



Ian:



Turn:



River:



Cox overtakes Hooper as the chip leader.



Julian Thew has been crippled after he raised a Q-8-6 flop trying to take the pot away from Chaz Chattha, only to find Chattha sitting comfortably with a set of sixes. Chattha doubled through and Thewy is down to 20k.

[NoflopsHomer]

Chris Gavriel is OUT, Jack Ten against the Kings of Chris Moore.

[JungleCat03]

Derek Pennington pushes his shortish stack in preflop, BRENDA (It is brenda apparently) Gibson makes the call.

The cards go on their back and Derek falls backwards in horror, almost knocking his drink flying into me. Fortunately my cat-lilke reactions saved me...I digress, back to the hand...

Derek shows AQ and Brenda AK, hence Derek's reaction.

The flop doesn't help him and he is OUT. Plus I am still dry. Ship...

[NoflopsHomer]

Sunny Chattha calls the all-in limp-re-raise of small blind of Richard Frost.

Frost:



Chattha:



Board:



Sunny is crippled and has to push next hand for his last 19.3k. Ian Cox in the big blind calls without looking at his cards.

Sunny shows:



Ian flips:

(!)

Board:



Chattha is still alive.

12 left....

I speak to Julian who is pensive as he fiddles with his shortish stack.

"One set of blinds and I'll pretty much double up!" he tells me, with only a slight hint of exaggeration.

Next hand, as if to prove a point Julian pushes his stack over the line..."Not much to call" he tells Terry Page who is contemplating a call, but ultimately passes..., leaving Julian to sweep up the chips as per THIS pretty picture...



Then Thewy finds himself allin! Terry raises to 30k from the button and Julian pushes from the sb for 10 or so K more. Terry makes what is an automatic call and shows A4, dominated by Julian's pocket Jacks.

The flop doesn't bring an ace, two fours, any straight or flush combinations and Julian has doubled up and is getting himself back into contention here...

A picture will follow shortly....

....In the next hand or two, Terry Page limps from the small blind and Chris Hooper raises. Terry reraises allin which Chris calls.

Terry : Q Q
Chris : 6 6

a Two Diamonds flop doesn't change anything and Terry doubles through to 140k...

[JungleCat03]

Sunny Chattha is out in 11th...

Richard Frost raised to 18k and sunny pushed for a few K more.

Richard's AT was only momentarily threatened by a 2 4 T J T flop, but ultimately, once the dust settled, was good, consigning Sunny to the rail and bringing us to "the final table bubble."

[NoflopsHomer]

Come on Julian time to YOYO back up again

Terry Page limps for 6k, Thewy calls in the small blind. Big blind checks.

Flop:



All three check.

Turn:



Check check, Terry bets 12k. Julian check/raises to 27k, the big blind passes. Terry moves all-in, Julian calls.

Terry shows:

for top two

Thewy shows:

for the turned set.

River:



Repeated cries of "I checked him into a set..." in a strong scouse accent are heard.

[NoflopsHomer]

Mickey Wernick doubes through Brenda Gibson with Eights against Fives.

[NoflopsHomer]

A chilly one for Richard Frost as his button raise with tens was met by a push over the top for Scott O'Reilly with K-5. A king on the turn and 200k his way.

[JungleCat03]

Thewy now has a nice stack of chips that he has arranged into some jumbled towers.

The blinds have risen yet again to 4k 8k and will now be played through at this level until someone is eliminated.

Just before the level rise, as I watch Julian's table, a hand develops where Chris Hooper limps on the button on Brenda Gibson's blind and Chris Moore completes for the extra 3k.

The flop comes .

Chris M bets out 7k.

Chris H is desperate to win the battle of the chris-es and raises to 27k.

Chris M, however, is keen to assert dominion over all things chris-like and reaches into his stack producing a 70k reraise.

After a bit of shuffling, Chris H unhappily passes and we remain 10 handed...

[NoflopsHomer]

And we have a final table!

Scott O'Reilly doubled through Richard Frost a second time with Queens against Jacks.

Then Terry Page has his Q-T against Chaz Chattha's Eights.

Next Frost doubles through O'Reilly with Q-9 against J-6...


Finally...

Terry Page pushes from the button and Chaz Chattha once again calls.

Page flips , Chaz has .

Board:

[NoflopsHomer]
