Fists are flying already, Mad Turk jumping up to 25k off Julian Thew who is left to shake his clenched fist behind the dealer at his Turkish, and rather mad foe.

Turk up to the 25k mark.

Mad Turk has arrived today with the bit between his teeth and got invlolved when the small blind made up to his big blind.  Turk responds by going all in with    for 10k (doing half his early double up stack previously).  Glynn Rees calls him with      there was no pleasant surprises for Turk on the board and he takes an early bath.

He did come over to me and Snoopy though to raise a point that had severly bugged him.  As he moved in, a guy to his right not in the hand made a comment to the likes of Mad Turk =  Robin Hood.  We sympathised and agreed since the chap was not in the pot he should not have commented during the hand.  A little out of order but Turk can also give as good as he gets...

[Chili]

On Julian's table, Jamie Morris raised it up for the third time running but found E Jahanpour with  .  He pushed his 26k whilst Jamie was mentally rubbing his hands with glee as he called and flipped over    - dont you just love it when a lucky plan comes together?

E Jahanpour OUT in 25th place

The pace has been steady eddie so far today with few departures, but one who has recently exited stage left is M McGill, his current grimace from the rail reflective of his soul-destroying elimination. I'm not sure if the spondoolies went in pre- or post-flop, but the assassin was definitely the chatty Michael 'Valentino' Artemis, whose Q-Js had flopped two pair against McGill's Pocket Kings on a J-Q-5 Flop. A Ten Turn and Four River made little difference, leaving to Mcgill dazed and confused and ruing ever receiving those ruddy Cowboys in the first place.

[Chili]

Julian really is truly blessed  - This hand developed, M Khan (pictured) raised to 4k under the gun.  Julian to answer next, reraises to 20k.  It passes back round M Kahn who does indeed put in the lot and its only another 6k to Julie.  On their backs as Julians jaw hits the felt:

M Kahn     

Julian   

A queen on the flop also ships the big pile of chips over to Julian Thewy - Golden - YoYo - Lukbox - Thew and Khan does the walk of shame.  That leaves us with 22 players.

---------------

Neil Blatchey is packing his gear and heading back to Nottingham where he is a regular at the Gala cash games. The hand itself was a pretty simple affair, Neil re-raising Ram Lakha's all-in from the big blind with A-9 after Ram had raised from the button. Ram called quicker than a Benny Hill chase on forward wind and survived a 3-T-J-6-J with considerable ease.

Table Yoyo:

Julian Thew -- 118,600
Rob Sherwood -- 52,500
Jamie Morris -- 49,00
Dennis Troake -- 56,200
Ash Hussain -- 68,100
Richard Simmonds -- 19,600
Glynn Rees -- 37,500

[snoopy1239]

Just as we head into the break, Richard Simmonds is treated to a double-up, Ash Hussain betting all-in with on a board, Simmonds calling with .

After Julian had folded his Pocket Deuces (a call for Yoyo, surely?), the dealer dealt out the remaining two cards, a Turn and River causing momentary confusion before everyone realised Richard had survived with two pair versus an inferior two pair.

Simmonds now on around 45k.

[snoopy1239]

Just as the players are reshuffling to 2 tables, we lose another one. It was a no croak for Troake, instead his neighbour Jamie Morris scuttling off into the distance.

Raising pre-flop to 3.5k under the gun, Jamie Morris flat called Troake's 13.5k re-raise immediately behind him before pushing in on a Flop. Troake instacalled and it was on their backs time, Morris in boiling hot water with versus .

The Turn and River didn't bring any miracles.

[Chili]

Wicked hand for Matt Tyler just went off.  Tony Fellone raised it up with AJ, A Stearne calls with AK and Matt Tyler also calls with 99.  The flop comes:

    

and fireworks, Tony moves all in but is short and is followed by an all from Stearne and his AK and a call from Tyler.  No surprises or help and Matt pulls in a great pot and is looking pretty with 100k. 

Tony Fellone OUT
A Stearne OUT

We just lost Joe Pilade, I saw him waving as he walked past our table, I unfortunately missed his exit due to the tastyness of my steak sandwich.

"Julian in race win shocker," exclaims a jealous Rob Sherwood.

And the victim? Mr Des Jonas, his dulcet tones finally leaving us as he heads towards the bar to down the Red Bull he ordered just moments ago.

All-in from the big blind over the top of Julian Thew's pre-flop button raise, Des seemed more interested in replacing the drink that had just been accidentally smashed, and splashed, over poor Mr Reardon's back (that'll teach him for being an inverted chair sitter!).

Meanwhile, Julian, who isn't a fan of the fold at the best of times, mulls it over with Pocket Sixes to fathom if he's racing or not. As he dwells, Des comments, "So, you've got an Ace as well?"

"I haven't got an Ace," replied Julian.

"Oh," hesitates Des, "Well, how small?"

"Do you want a call?" asks Julian.

"I need a double up, course I want a call," replies Des pointing to the extra 23.8k it will cost Julian to continue with the hand.

At this point, Julian decides that he is indeed racing, and calls with Pocket Sixes, which ultimately hold up on a raggy non Big Slick hitting board.

As Des departs, Ash Hussain adds, "He made it pretty easy for you, basically told you his hand. And so did you, it's all very friendly this."
