Snoopy doesn't keep his stack behind the line for long - he's been all in again this level, in these circumstances...

With 10k+ in the pot, I caught Mr. Cool putting a big chunk of chips in on the river, the board reading: .  Eventually he got paid by what looked like a set as it flashed on the way into the muck - he only had .  When I play suited connectors I seem to get it all in with a dominated flush draw - when Marc Goodwin plays them he gets a straight flush.

Dana 'danafish' Immanuel is just under 19,000 in chips now, after, "That gentleman had an accident with Aces and I hit trips on the river."  To elucidate: Dana limped with A-Q after 'the gentleman' limped with A-A.  The flop brought one queen and the turn a second, meaning that a pretty good pot moved over to Dana, without her opponent actually losing his whole stack.

A big pot was brewing between two guys who appeared to be Simon Eastwood and Michael Ellis on Alex Martin's table.

I joined the hand on the turn where Michael Ellis was betting around 5k allin into a 6k pot on the turn of a three diamonds three clubs board.

This was most of Simon Eastwood's chips and he dwelt  for a while, throwing a few questions at Ellis. Ellis could have been forgiven, given Eastwood's surname, for asking him "Do you feel lucky, well do ya....PUNK" but merely shrugged and eventually Eastwood decided he did feel lucky and made the call with , 2nd pair.

It proved an excellent call as Ellis showed for the flush draw and Eastwood was rewarded with a good, not a bad and certainly not an ugly river to complete the hand and add a few dollars more to his stack, sergio-ing him up through the leaderboard and leaving Ellis' dreams of finishing the tournament with a fistful of dollars in tatters...

Dinner break approaches and in other news, Jeff Kimber has augmented his stack, taking Ian Woodley off a pot and appears to be doing relatively nicely with around 15-16k now, a vast improvement from earlier. JP was seen smiling mischievously as he raked in a pot on the same table.

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.

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 three diamonds was bet by Dana for 1200 and called by her opponent. The turn elicited a check from both players and when Mateyboy checked the two spades 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...

Alex Martin in Seat 1 and JP in Seat 3. Clearly less comical than the previous photo. They look like they're concentrating. Shhhh.

Dan Carter is OUT. In his Miami Vice styled Poker shirt, he pushed on a with but ran into of the gentleman sitting to his immediate left, the turn and river were both blanks and he's off for some action that may involve 'late nights'.

I should really be on Alias...

Or at least 'Chuck'.

Explosive ACTION!



On a 3-4-5 flop.

Michael Greco bets 1,500. Snoopy makes it 4,000. Greco moves all-in and Snoopy insta-calls.

Greco: 5-4

Snoppy: A-2

A blank Jack turn and a harmless 7 river take out Greco and Snoops is probably chip leader now.

Here is the "Spherical Wonder" Matt Tyler, now demanding picture approval of any photo that could possibly deem him a roundhead.

Btw, what sort of face is El Blondie pulling to cause that sort of reaction from the woman sitting next to him?

I join J-P who is i-podded up and smiling. "How's it going JP" I ask as I gauge his stack which is 15-18k ish.

"I just lost a pot and am being ridiculed for it. Other than that good"

Adam Wilkinson appears to be doing well with a stack of 25-28k or so.

The Blinds are currently 150 300 with a 25 ante, 65 players remain...15 minutes remains of this level....before the REAL mayhem starts....and the average stack is 20150 or so.

Snoopy has won so many pots, he is thinking of changing his name to Scoopy. It may be my imagination but is seems as though every time I join him, his stack has grown, and his carefullly cultivated quiff has grown in proportion.

If he keeps raking in pots, it will be touching the ceiling soon.

God knows what it will look like if he wins the tournament which is looking more and more credible all the time...
