I'm here to take the reins over from Jen who can't stay too 'late', she has another thing to do this week, which I won't mention, so we're letting her get an early 'night'. So, Rod and myself will be taking over and the 'poker' is about to recommence.


Man, I'd have made a great spy.

Huh? What are you talking about?

[Dry em]

Sry, wrong table

Ah you've cracked our code.  Abort mission.

But before I go - a couple of hands spotted at the start of the level - in one of them, Michael Greco's chip tower (briefly threatened as table leader by the arrival of a chipped up Snoopy) has grown even larger after he promptly got entangled with the beagle.  A big pot had grown preflop, with over 10k in it, and another 9k raise in front of Greco.  Snoopy, who looks like he'd back raised and been shown nothing but strength, eventually passed. 
Cue Nik Persaud: "If that's not Aces, I'll give you my slipper."
Snoops:  "I had A-K, but it cost me a lot to find out."
Nik: "And it was the two chip leaders at the table as well...I thought I was gonna see a big pot."  Well, dealing with disappointment well, they've moved on with Snoopy knocked down to 24k but still in good shape.

[Djinn]

Paul Alterman is OUT.

John Murphy has 9,500.

Battle of the blinds between Nick Gibson (SB) and John Hewston (BB) gave some chips to the former.  One of them small raised preflop, flip a coin - let's guess Gibson.
Flop:   Nick checked, Hewston bet 1,200, call.
Turn:   check-check
River:   Nick Gibson bets out 2k, is called sharply by Hewston, who shows to Gibson's winning two pair: .

Night night.

Dana, who the organisers have seen fit to sit next to her beloved snoopy (let the fireworks commence!) has just taken down a pot.

I missed the preflop action but it looked like about 1500-2k in the pot preflop.

A flop of was bet by Dana for 1200 and called by her opponent. The turn elicited a check from both players and when Mateyboy checked the river, Dana also checked, her A A good enough to take down the 5k pot vs mateyboy's KJ.

MEANWHILE Barry Neville's incessant winding up of the members of JP Kelly's table, with Ian Woodley being the main target, appears to have spread some friction across the table. Ian Woodley and Hieu Hoang almost came to blows. It was related to me that Hoang threatened to throw a cup at Woodley after their dispute!

So I watched carefully as Hieu Hoang became involved in a pot with Ian and also Adam Wilkinson, who earlier passed 77 on a 5 high board to Hoang's 99. All three had reached the turn of a flop with roughly 5k in the pot. The turn of was bet by Hoang for about 5-6k. Both Woodley and Wilkinson passed,Wilkinson revelealing A7 for top 2.

Hoang later revealed he had the nut flush. There were no further threats of crockery assault.

Alex Martin is now sat at the same table and is no doubt watching events unfolding on this fiery table with great interest...

[JungleCat03]

It is now 150 300, the level at which blind stealing becomes more important and more prevalent, so chips should be firing around all over the place anytime soon.

At present 78 or so players remain from the initial 131.
