Quick Quick Whilst I have breached the restrictions preventing us posting here are some quick stories , counts and quotes from the players. Enjoy!

Simon Nowab is doing welll on 20k+.

Paul Parker on his table tells me "He pinched all those chips!"

Paul's in better spirits now and is back to his usual chatty self again..."Doing much better than I was before...up to 13k now!" before he breaks off to wangle some free wine out of the nearby valet. "We didn't get any at dinner, honestly" says Paul and his chirpy enthusiasm seems to have done the trick as a delivery of wine is promised...

..."OOhhh, bring us some cheesecake too" chimes in Simon, whose chip accumulation is obviously getting him hungry.

Rick Trigg is battling on with his shortstack and appears to be on roughly 6 or 7k now. Redbull pulls me aside "Had a bit of an accident" he tells me as he points to his depleted stack which is still around the 17k or so zone. "This gentleman outdrew me" he says placidly pointing to one of his neighbours. It's nice to see players behaving well even after a bad beat...


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

Red Bull and ActionMan have had their first significant face off. Rick's short stack meant that when the two found AK and QQ, the chips were destined to fly into the middle.

"Once I saw it was a flip I knew I was going to lose it the way I'm running!" said Redbull and his ominous premonition proved to be accurate as a K on the river sealed a much  needed double up for Rick who is now back to 10 or 11k whilst Redbull's stack has been torn apart bit by bit by bad beats and lost flips and he now sits on 8k or so after his promising start...

Amy Trodd is now down to 6 or 7k or so.

She was seen betting 2600 on a 2 2 3 J J river only to receive a call from AA and quickly muck her cards...

wow IrishDenis going well....

Michael Waresh doubles up at the hands of Leon Campbell, in a pot which they were talking about for a while after it ended, even though the number of chips involved wasn't too large.  The stacks were in after Campbell had flopped a set with his and caught the interest of Waresh with his . 
The flop:
The turn: and this is where I think the rest of it went in - the river bringing the for a flush for the Nines and a much needed double-up.

wow IrishDenis going well....

Yes, he says he'd successfully created tilt in an opponent by flopping a set of Sevens and getting nicely paid, before finishing him off with A-Q.  "To be fair he's in front with the Kings but I hit an Ace and out he goes..." it's all smiles on table IrishDenis.

Ergun Macit takes on Lucy Rokach... it can't be a great seat with the two hefty stacks of Rokach and Kabbaj on his left, but he's not worryingly near the felt yet, and looks pretty relaxed.  Just now he bet out 4k on the river with the board standing: .  The pot wasn't particularly large, and I gather there had been some preceding checking.  Lucy Rokach now takes the 4k off the top of one of the chip towers (it's a barely noticeable removal) and plays with it while considering her opponent for a while.  Eventually she decides to pass, and is rewarded with her opponent showing the for a big set...

Here pictured is a happy Paul Parker, after finally getting the attention of the wine steward guy for his benefit and that of his neighbours.  He's brought that peculiar magnetic set of twigs which are so compulsive to play with and provide a welcome relief for unstoppable chip twiddlers.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, imagine plastic twiglets which attach at the ends via strong magnets, which allow very satisfying linking of the twiglets and then breaking into smaller branches.  It's multicoloured as well, like Paul Parker's regular outfits.

Sad to say the genial Paul Parker is out. Never managing to get a good stack going all day, he became crippled holding T9 on a T92 flop, only to find his opponent with pocket leaving him in dire need of a 4 outer which never materialised.

Down to the felt he shoved his last few chips in with J9 and was rewarded by a call from KK. Never fear a J x J flop made him a comfortable favourite but a K on the river was the final nail in his coffin and Paul, his spangly waistcoat, chirpy banter and magnetic twiglets are OUT.
