This guy, who we shall for the moment call Travis Bickle, is OUT at the hands of Van Maden. All in preflop with against Maden's  , the flop comes and he's gone. Maybe he'll drive a taxi home.

After Tony Fellone falls during these very latter stages, he is soon followed by Geordie Thomas Dunwoodie. Didn't get any extensive details, but was informed that his swan-song was made with J-T... which doesn't' tell you much.

Trevor Payne, who, incidentally, was the only player to be in the same seat after the computer went bananas and inexplicably redrew the players, has just doubled up with versus , all-in on the Flop of an board.

"I was Table 7, Seat 8, before the redraw," he said as he piled his newly acquired 35k stack. "And I was still 7-8 after, must be fate."

"Well, it can't mean he's 78th because we don't have enough players left," add supervisor Danny.

"Maybe it's his winnings... £78," add I.

Actually, the latter's impossible as everyone goes away with £100 minimum. Maybe he's on to win 78k!!

Also OUT is Ben Callinan. Gareth Westcott (below) raised to 3.5k, and Ben made what looked like a slightly suspicious call. The flop came and Ben shoved for 9k; Gareth called.

Nick Risdale has just taken a big hit, betting 4k on to a board and then calling his opponent's raise too, his set of Sevens no match for his opponent's straightalicious A-T. He's now down to 10k or so.

And that brings us to the end of another day in sunny Walsall Grosvenor. Chip counts will, I suspect, be with us in the morning, as will another updater, seeing as Snoopy has to sleep before he updates Dublin or something. Weak, say I. Bar time! I mean, bedtime.
