Rick Trigg is OUT after a squeezeplay gone wrong. With about 6k left and holding A-7 on the big blind, he tried it on, and was feeling pretty good when two of the three limpers folded, but the third one re-raised and Rick, painfully short, had to call. The re-raiser had A-Q and Rick is out.

Gordon MacArthur is on 12.5k and making faces about it.

Andrew
Bradshaw
, who looks like Snoopy's dad, bets 7k into an already chunky pot with a
flop out. After dwelling up for a while and twisting his face into what can only be described as a gurn,
Kevin
O'Leary
folds. To Bradshaw's disappointment, he doesn't show the hand that he had liked enough before the flop to throw so many chips around.

Mad Turk bets 900 on an
flop. "That doesn't mean I hit it," he says, "I just want to know where I am." No-one is fooled though, and they all fold.
He is currently sat next to
Ben
Callinan
, who is happily wired to his ipod. Says Mad Turk to him, "I don't have expensive ipod, I sing." I begin to retreat, afraid. There is talk among his tablemates of some kind of karaoke-off later.

Rutter v Butter (don't you just love that?) as Rutter's J-T fails to outdraw Butter's A-Q all-in pre-flop.
Meanwhile, Mad Turk is even madder than he was in the last post where I said he was very mad, his Jacks all-in against the A-K of Mohammed Ghani's Jacks, the board coming 5-6-7-4-8 for a choppety chop chop.

Gordon MacArthur walks up to me and says, "Sorry." "Oh, sorry," say I, thinking I'm in the way, and I move. He's still standing there. "I said, do you want a story?" Oh yes. Of course I do. It's getting late and my brain is starting to melt.
Nevertheless he is in a great mood because he's just doubled up off of a now-fuming
Michael
Greco
. Now that I know what day it is, he tells me that he raised with
from the cutoff, and found a caller in big blind
Michael
Greco
.
Flop -
Greco checks. Tee hee hee, thinks Gordon (not in those words, I'm embellishing here) and bets. Michael calls.
Turn -
Again, Michael checks. Gordon bets again, and this time Michael raises, and Gordon calls.
Michael shows
, but no fourth spade on the river, and Gordon is delighted and Michael is furious.

Dan Owston and a slightly blurry Simon Baskerville, became involved, as it were. Dan raised from the button only for Simon to go over the top of him. Some brief dwellage later, says Dan, "I don't think I can lay these down," and calls. He shows Kings. "Oh," says Simon, and shows Kings. They split.
------------
Karl Limbert is the current chip leader with circa 80k.

Well, I guess I've just gone and bokked Karl Limbert, because just as I was reporting his chip leadage, he only goes and doubles up everyone's favourite plaster wearing pensioner.
Raising under-the-gun, Michael Arnold looks for a vital double through as the action folds round to Limbert in the big blind. "I guess I'm priced in," observes Limbert semi-seriously. "How much more is it?"
As the answer returned is 4.4k, Limbert makes the call and hesitantly checks a
Flop with a gentle sigh. As expected, Arnold insta shovels in his remaining 2.9k quicker than a wasp on speed.
As if fighting the temptation and pot odd demons, Limbert looks bamboozled by his decision but eventually makes the call with a huff, simultaneously commenting, "I've got nothing, but I can't pass."
And indeed Limbert did have nothing, but his
at least had three outs against Arnold's
, which ultimately failed to emerge from the
Turn and
River.
Hooray for Limbert for still having a load of chips, but hooray also for Arnold who earns himself a timely double up.

Paul
Parker
is OUT, all in preflop with a suited A-J against Gordon MacArthur's Kings, with no help from the board. As Paul was picking up his coat to leave, Gordon got up and came over to the other side of the table to shake Paul's hand. He looked a little like he was going to cry. He has probably around 40k now.

With about 40 minutes left till the end of the day's play, it would appear as though the staff here have lost their patience and spiked all drinks with Red Bull (except for the ones that are already Red Bull of course, that would be silly) as the last few moments have borne witness to a flurry of all-in encounters.
First up was Graham Whytell (who had to spell his name knowing full well that I would go for the Whitell option); he found all his chips across the line with
, which isn't always too bad unless you're up against Aces, which he was, the American Airlines being held by the now not so invincible Karl Limbert.
Limbert =
Whytell =
Board =
...
Oh you know what's coming.
BOING!

Roberto Romanello has been getting jiggy with mr biggy of late (sorry I have no idea what that means, but I'm trying to say that he's seeing a lot of action).
First he was pushed off a hand by Kevin O'Leary. It was a button versus small blind confrontation, so I would assume it went raise from O'Leary, re-raise from Romanello followed by another raise by O'Leary. After having the clock called on him, which resulting in the summons of yours truly, eager and with notepad in hand, Roberto inevitably made the fold, showed
, and said something like, "There's no way I'm going to chuck it all in with Sevens now."
Just moments later, those 15k worth of remaining chips did indeed find there way past the line, and this time they were in tippety top shape, Romanello's
in fine fettle against Chris Bruce's inferior
. Board brought
and Romanello is "dangerous now" according to cardroom supervisor Danny.

The last several dust biters are:
81st = S Baskerville
82nd =
Paul
Parker
83rd = Dan Owston
84th =
Ash
Pervais
85th = M Robinson
86th = W Ahmed
87th = Yucel Eminoglu
Mad Turk, at the bottom of that list, has a good right to be slightly enraged, his T-T all-in pre-flop against 4-4 was outgunned when a 4 hit the Turn.

Simon Baskerville is now OUT. Anthony Kennedy bet 4k on a
flop and Simon raised his last 5.9k. Anthony calls, and announces, "Open-ended," turning over
. Simon turns over
. And it's all over on the
turn. "Boo boo babby yeah!" shouts Kennedy, or something incomprehensible like that, as the irrelevant
river is dealt.

We're not too far from the final whistle, and I'm sure Mr Raab will email through those chip counts in the morning, but for now, feast your eyes on these from Table Bradshaw:
Andrew
Bradshaw
-- 72,000
Gary
Chatterton
-- 7,800
Chris
Bruce
-- 10,100
Kevin
O'Leary
-- 39,500
Roberto
Romanello
-- 292,000
Martin
Green
-- 45,800
----------
Soon after...
"I had to make a move," confesses Chris Bruce as he dons his coat.
Bruce =
Romanello =
Board =
No Brucie bonus and we're a man overboard.
