Snoop -- Just wondering if you were able to find Michael Martin.  I think he might be at table 1.  Thanks so much.

At the very death, and just as the players were counting out their chips ready for the pleasurable stack-in-bag manoeuvre, I spotted a young chap who looked vaguely American and inquired upon his name.

The answer was a welcome one, an across-the-pond accent replying "Michael Martin" and informing me of a 22,500 stack.

"Is that my mom?" he asked proudly.

2 minutes before the end of the night, Devilfish & Chris Moneymaker clash. 

A random mateyboy raises to 1,600, round to Devilfish who reraises another 6k, he has about 13k behind.  Upto Moneymaker who gestures ALL IN.  Original raiser gets out the way and Devilfish makes the all in call.

Moneymaker   

No surprises on the board and Devilfish is Aced.  Leaves Moneymaker with about 75k.

One player to suffer from lasthandexititus was Johnny Lodden, the shortstacked Norwegian pushing in his remaining 4,350 with and relieved to find himself racing against .

A board was pretty conclusive.

One time big chipper Paul Christofferson has handed the baton over to long-haired-orange-jumper-wearing Spaniard Daniel Magnas, the chips flying in on Flop, with the Swede praying that his holds up against Daniel's flush draw. A Turn was pretty clinical, especially when Daniel avoided a paired board on the River.

As a result, Daniel Magnus is now fighting it out for the chip lead with a rather tickety boo 70 to 75k in chips. Hopefully he'll go deep and purchase a new jumper with his winnings. 

LOL     OLE Pucelano!!!

As "The Catalan" says: DALE LOCO, DALE!!!!

Santi, Something is changing!!!!! LOL

Good job reporters.

See you...

The current chip leader according to our source is the hatpimp himself, Nicolas Levi.

After spending much of the day hovering around the 40k mark following a blistering start, Levi rose to 55k before winning a 100k pot with a paltry 9-7 off suit.

"This aggressive player raised to 1.7k and I made it 5k because I was getting sick of him raising. He called, but the flop came . I thought he could easily have a hand that will push over the top, so I bet out and he did indeed move all-in for 40k. I called and he showed for the flush draw. When an hit the Turn, my testicles sank into my body and I just prayed for something small and something black. The river was a . Pheeeeeeew"

[Chili]

Right at the end of the night, Dave Colclough was involved in a hand that can be described as Karma correcting itself.  Dave raises to 1.8k and is called in 2 spots one being Age Spets.  Flop

 

Dave & mateboy check but Spets makes it 5k, mateboy goes all in for 15.5k.  Dave C called and Spets folded.  Mateboy had    , Dave had  .  U know whats next?  Runner runner spade for a flush and a 45k pot.

Dave Colclough finished the night on 39,000.

The final report I prised from the players as the trickled towards Edgware Road in search of a black cap was courtesy of Arnaud Mattern, the Frenchman now living in the UK semi-pleased to have recovered from just 2.5k but simultaneously disappointed to have risen to 25k but drop back down to 11k.

Still, from just 2.5k, it's hard to complain, Arnuad making commencing his comeback with Aces versus Nines after nabbing the blinds uncontested a few times.

We are awaiting a full list of chip counts and remaining players and it should arrive in our inbox's sometime during the night.  The list will definately be posted before the start of Day 1b tomorrow.  There should be about 60 players left though. 

Goodnight everybody and I have to blink a few times to comprehend the time of our finish.  Pretty awesome for us updaters to not be working till 5am!! 

Me & Snoops will be back here tomorow from 12pm ish for a 1pm start hopefully.  Ta ta.
