Sorry Rick but Alex Martin is in a spot of bother...
As I join his table and his much depleted stack he makes a "grrrrrr" face at me, slightly resembling a frustrated tiger whose diet is short on fruit and general roughage.

He's down to about 10k or so, and when Nick Gibson raises the 800 BB to 2.2k, Alex shoves his 10k over the line. Nick ums and ahhs and calculates pot odds.
"If I had Q8 I'd call like a shot!" before passing and Alex adds to his stack.
Eamon Delaney who was nursing a short stack is out. Reraising Sean Moran's middle position raise ALLIN, he is unhappy to receive a call from Sean's AQ, understandably as his limp AJ was dominated.
A meaningless board devoid of jacks and other spicy cards ensues and Eamon hits the rail, reducing the field yet further...
38 players remain as the end of the day approaches...
Nik Persaud who is still hovering in the 9k region, makes a button raise to 2.2k which the big blind callls.
The flop appears as K J 9. BB checks, nick bets 2.5k, which is good enough to take the pot and he shows TT....
