"Hey, you're still in," I jibe 'One Hand' Rumit glancing at my watch.

"Yeah, it's incredible," he replies. "I've even got Lucy to my right!"

Both players have around the 13.5k mark, but if ever there was a call for a caption comp...

Okey dokey, I'm going to have to post these in batches as action is exploding as I'm accruing, so here are some counts from the top 3 tables:

Rob Sherwood -- 7,525
Ian Herbert -- 12,700
A Powell -- 14,500
G Wainburg -- 12,550
Paul McCue -- 3,725
Des Jonas -- 10,975
Bambos Charalambos Xanthos -- 17,425
Karl Mahrenholz -- 8,900
Zafar Aslam -- 14,000
Herny Griffiths -- 19,900
Mike Jones -- 8,400
Stuart Fox -- 14,900
Ariel Adda -- 12,200
Matt Tyler -- 9,475

Mick Jones actually doubled up to 8k prior to the publishing of that list, but although that story doesn't appear particulalry exciting on the face of it, the inclusion of A-K versus Aces with Mick holding the Big Slick does add a little more intrigue and surely a slight grimace in your face.

From the sound of it, it appears as though he managed to create a few outs, Mick having the luxury of both a straight and flush draw, although it was the former he eventually hit to bust those American Airlines.

On the very same table, Doig Rudling, who was down on the list as 'Dave Rudling' is now OUT. He was all-in with versus the of Peter Stibroski on a board, the lack of any Queen resulting in the Welshman's exit.

Well, I promised Henry Griffiths for our fan watching from home, so here he is, in all his Swiss Tonyness glory... although I fail to see the resemblence.

Does he sell cars?

Ah, the Swissmeister

He did in fact used to be a car salesman, and a rather dodgy one at that.  He is, however, a most entertaining watch in full flow.  I take it he hasn't embarrassed himself yet?

Thanks, by the way - always good to know you listen to the punters!

I saw a hand an hour or so ago which I didn't report because when I looked up the lady in question, it said that her name was Adrian Lambe, which didn't sound right at all. No woman has ever been called Adrian except for the lady in Rocky, and that was just for comedy value. Anyway, I have since discovered that her name is even more improbably Saffron Lambe, which sounds like it should be on a menu, and I wish I had found this out earlier so I could exploit it for your amusement and delight before she was sadly knocked out, in relatively ugly circumstances. Sigh.

Having lost virtually all her chips about an ago to Marcus Bebb-Jones, pushing on an flop with pocket Jacks against Bebb-Jones' pocket Kings (he hit a King on the river for good measure too), she threw her last few thousand chips in on a board and found one caller (actually I think she may have called all in). "You got full house?" she asks, turning over . He doesn't, turning over  , but the river means he does indeed got full house, and meek as a, er, lamb, Saffron wanders off.

Just been informed by a friend of mine that Henry Griffiths is possibly chip leader?  Surely not?  The world doesn't seem to make sense to me if he is

In fact checking your latest chip counts... he is

I'm off to take a couple of my brain pills...
