Nah he still a few inches less. Oh his hairs shorter too

Jen can you keep a close eye on Richie Allen for me please. Thanks

The blinds are currently nice and chunky and attractive to players sitting in late positions at 2.5k 5k with a running 400 ante.

Richie has had an early set back unfortunately, when his raise in late position was repopped by the shortish stacked Adam Heller. Richie was happy to go with JJ, but found Adam holding the dominating KK.

The subsequent board didn't contain any pitfalls for Adam and he has doubled to circa 120k whilst Richie has had his stack halved and is now less comfortable with 65k or so.

Bad news has also filtered through to the press room as Michael Bale has reportedly doubled up through Ian Cox, flipping his little pocket ducks against Ian's impressive looking but unltimately worthless AQd. Not one to stay down for too long though, Ian has now doubled through Owen Craig in a QQ v AK coup. Back in the hunt straight away.

Snoopy has been quiet so far but he is poised like a coiled spring, ready to pounce at any moment. Seriously.

Brian Gilbert doubles up...

With the blinds at 2,500/5,000 ante 400, Simon Eastwood limped on the button, small blind Gilbert made it up, and then big blind Martin Bader raised 30,000.  A dwell-pass from the button, but Gilbert made the call pretty fast.
Flop:    Gilbert, who'd dwindled to what looked like about 80k left, shoved immediately, and was called almost as fast.

Bader:
Gilbert: 

No help with the raggy turn and river and a grimacing Bader paid off the double up.

Richie Allen is OUT in 27th place - after dropping to a danger stack straight away, his final confrontation saw his A-J taken on by the winning 5-5 of Charles Denton.

Bambos is OUT in 26th place - no idea what happened to him.

An interesting hand was just played between Kourosh Nikkhahe and Leo Kam...

Kourosh raised to 20k from UTG and Leo re-raised from middle position to 50k...

Amazingly Davood Mehrmand in the BB thought a while and asked a few questions of Lam as if he was considering playing. Ultimately though, he passed...

Back to Kouresh and.....he FLAT CALLED, leaving roughly 80k back...

FLOP:

Kouresh immediately moved ALLIN.

Lam now began a long period of contemplation and thought. Seconds, minutes, hours passed. Beards grew, epochs came and went and finally , as we were into our third ice age, Lam decided to fold  and Kouresh showed a T.

He then began berating Davood for getting involved in his  pot and they had a little squabble but nothing more than a few handbags. The fisticuffs come later...

Snoopy has just won a pot - and its a cracker. Johnathan Martin raised to 18k in early position and snoopy pushed, with a stack that must have been in the region of 60k....Johnathan commented to Snoopy "You know I haven't played a pot all day?" but Snoopy is pretty good at just blanking out opponents when they try and crack him - he would make an excellent spy - and sat there impassively until Martin eventually folded. Snoopy couldn't resist flipping over 89, the showoff. Well done Beagle, good work.
