Good luck to the Blondes. What blinds do they come back at?

[AgentChip109]

bring it home danny boy!!!! (upthemariners)

[NoflopsHomer]

500/1k with a 100 ante.

Go Snoppy!

[Djinn]

With the blinds starting at 500/1,000 ante 100, the stacks around the starting stack mark are in pretty desperate shape and they have been throwing their chips in with wild abandon in the hope of doubling and then doubling again to a properly playable stack. 

Kevin Poast, for example, is OUT after shoving in late position with what turned out to be for only 6k - big blind Alex Scullion thought for longer than you might imagine before calling with his to knock him out.

Meanwhile Hitsquad member and Bluesquare sponsored player Karl Mahrenholz picks up just in time to bust the of Pete Linton.  Check out the evil eye being cast his way by neighbour Iwan Jones as he rakes in some more chips to add to The One Tower.

Good luck to the Blondes. What blinds do they come back at?

It's 500 1k with a 100 ante at the start of today.

As expected, some chips have already been flying about and we have some early casualties...

Denis Omahoney started the day with 14k so was under some pressure to get some chips going. AK's a fine hand for that but mateyboy's 9 9 held on a blank board and IrishDenis departs the competition with a shrug and a smile.

Dan Owston is also OUT.

Shortstacked with just 3025 chips he shoved allin in late position and was called in 2 spots by S Hogg and Richard Herbert.

FLOP: ...

Both the live players check.

TURN:

Again checkage was the order of the day.

RIVER:

Check and......bet of 5k  by Richard Herbert.

Dan probably realised this wasn't a good sign and Hogg realised his bacon was cooked and passed.

Richard flipped up K8h for the flush and Dan's TT was no good...but he did a great job of cheering himself on during the hand football style. Good game Dan.

With news that one of the early chip leaders Lucy Rokach has run into some bother, it is a pretty manic start!

Mustn't forget Strummer9 who rumour has it bought a packed of fags on the way down when he heard my missus wouldn't be there to keep him in supplies

Arghghg, just got a text from Lucy R about losing two big pots... Not sure if it means she's out or not though... I hope not!! 

[Djinn]

Lucy Rokach is OUT!

From big stack to the felt - it can happen in just a couple of key hands, and one of them just happened... She'd already lost about half of her pretty hefty starting chips in one big pot, and now got involved with equally chipped up Paul Lawrence.  I saw it from the flop where Lawrence was inspecting the pot (around 10k) and the board ( ) before betting 10,600.  Lucy called quickly.
Turn:   Again, he bet 10,600 precisely.  Lucy called more quickly still.
River:    Now Lawrence checked and faced a counted-down all-in of 13,000.  He wasn't happy about it, and thought for a good while, before eventually coming off the fence on the Call side.

He showed: 
Lucy Rokach showed:

And the early aggressor and chip leader has now joined the procession heading for the rail or the bar, which is quickly becoming a river of disappointed ex-players.
