Unlucky Beagle but a great effort all the same.
Just looking at the chip updates I notice that under the radar John Kabbaj has made steady progress and must be a threat to take this down.

Could you ask Gibbo if he owns any shirts that aren't white? Oh and wish him luck, he's the class left in this one. And good luck Snops, lump em in and hope mate (seems to be working elsewhere), can't wait for 85 and the chance of an impossible squeeze play

I've never seen that shirt before?? Also, I've listened to that i-pod and it does produce a lot of laughing some dodgy music!

GOOOOOOOOOOOO CHIP LEADER!!!!!

at 4k 8k with a 500 ante, there is a juicy 17k in every pot before a single card has been dealt, pillaging is starting to become a serious business.

Prian De Mel raises in early position and it's passed round to the big blind, G Ringe. He dwells a while before Priam De Mel calls the clock on him.

"You have one minute" announces the Tournament Director, which causes a reaction from John Kabbaj.

"You can't call the clock if you are in the hand, don't you know the rules..." John grumbles somewhat strangely, since I've never come across that rule and judging from the confused expressions surrounding the table, not many people have. A bit of debate occurs about when it's appropriate to call the clock. Meanwhile Prian is just sitting there, wondering whether his raise will get through or not.

"I hope you are still counting that minute!" says Priam wearing a wide grin, and ultimately Ringe, pronounced to rhyme with singe (and possibly other words) passes....

....In the next few hands there is an early position raise by Brian Gilbert to 30k, which John Kabbaj calls holding position, and everyone else gets out of the way.

The flop comes 2, which both players check. The turn is checked by Brian and John immediately bets 40k. Brian calls after a short pause.

River .

Brian checks, then John checks. Brian shows AJ for top pair on the river and John lets out an anguished cry as he shows his rivered K. You can almost see the steam coming out of his ears at this point....

Left to right: John Kabbaj, superdweller Gerald Ringe and Priyan de Mel

Well done Snoops!

[Djinn]

Well spotted Llevan - John Kabbaj has made a pretty impressive comeback since those Aces yesterday started him out on Recovery Road - and he just eliminated Jamil Ogunmakinwa in 18th place (£3,460) - as you can see from this photo of him next to a newly empty seat...

Kabbaj raised under the gun, and Ogunmakinwa, having dropped right down from his once second-place stack to just under 100k, moved in on the big blind.  It all happened so fast - they were suddenly on their backs - Kabbaj's playing Ogunmakinwa's .
Flop:
Turn:
River:   And that couldn't have been a more disappointing card for the young player whose shot at the GUKPT title ends with two tables left.

Oh dear, I think I bokked the beagle. Nevertheless, I now have him at home with a mountain of McDonalds Comfort Snacks and a bunch of £50 notes. Hurrah! Well done Snoops.

Martin Bader is OUT in 17th place, winning £3,460 for his troubles.

Ian Cox was the man who did the damage, his JcJs taking on Martin's Ac9h preflop and a 2-3-7-Q-4 board changed nothing. With blinds this big it's hard to get away from A9 with Bader's chips, so I will refrain from making any Daft Bader jokes, and simply leave it at gg wp.

Robert Boon and Kourosh have just crossed swords in a big pot.

At 5k 10k with a 500 ante now, Koresh made a LARGE raise to 60k off a stack in the region of 170-200k, Martin Boon behind reraised allin.

Kourosh said "Ok, let's gamble" assuming his 9-9 would be in a race. However, if he had watched Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels he would have realised that "assumption is the mother of all f*** ups," as Boon flipped over K-K.

Kourosh was left looking like a man badly in need of police assistance as he quietly repeated 9-9-9, but no were forthcoming and Kourosh departed, meaning....

Kourosh Nikkhahe is OUT in 16th place, winning £3,460.

[Karabiner]

It was a very fine performance sloopy, we're all proud of you 

[Redbull]

Just caught up. Excellent effort Snoops! You'll get a big result soon I'm certain.

[Djinn]

Jonathan Martin is OUT in 15th place, winning £3,460

With the blinds at 5k/10k/ante 500 Martin pushed preflop for around 160k after there had been a raise from Robert Boon.  The chips were counted out, laid in a row and left for Boon to contemplate.  He found it within himself to call the extra c.80k with , and found Martin holding .

Jonathan Martin (pictured) hung his head over the table briefly before coming to terms with his exit and taking his leave of his fellow players.
