Suspect Number 3:
Crime: Hoody and hat, what's the point?

Hoody and hat you say, what's the point?   It's freezing in there.

John Tabatabai was casually strolling over to his table at the end of the break, but he should have been running like Linford Christie, the WSOPE runner-upper's stack having dwindled to a rather vulnerable 2.5k.

It worked out relatively well for him though, his first hand back seeing his cut-off raise of 450 with Fours being called by the quite spectaculalry named Gijsbertus Spijkers's Pocket Ducks. The King high board was checked all the way down, allowing Kunkuwap's mighty pair to snap up the pot virtually uncontested.

"Hey, I've doubled up," bragged the Bad Beat trader.

Meanwhile, next door neighbour, Jeff Kimber, is similalry suffering with a meager 4,350 after "having an accident".

I know the feeling, it's freezing in our hotel room. I had to sleep with the light on to keep warm.

Reigning champion Roland de Wolfe is OUT with top two pair against a straight flush draw which straight flushed on the Turn.

They take there poker seriously over here in Dublin, one bad beat and you could be in trouble... SMASH!

Cheeky Geordie and moonlighting Rocket Man Paul Gourlay is up to pace-setting 29,000. According to the horse's mouth, he ground his way up to 19,000 before finding those Pocket Cowboys (yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa, ride em cowboy  ) and re-raising Kevin O'Connell's Flop raise from late position. Both Kevin and 'stuck-in-the middle' Mark Roland called, subsequently seeing a T-6-4 Flop with two hearts.

Kevin bet out 2.5k, Mark called, and Paul made it 7.5k. Both players moved out the way, leaving Paul to take a nice pot uncontested.

Watch out, folks, the Rocket Man's picking up steam and ready for launch.

This is him on the left next to the latest model:

Just saw an interesting hand develop between Ben Grundy & Luca Pagana.  It started with Grundy raising to 575 under the gun and Luca reraising to 1,425 in total.  Ben called, the flop was

    Check from Ben, Luca bet 1,125.  Ben reraised another 1,875, 3k total.

All these actions from both players were delibarate, thought out and slow, no bang, bang with these two.  At this point Luca reraises again, calling the extra 1,875 and making it another 5K to Ben!

Ben says  "Urrghhhh"  right from the belly and "so sick!"

Then pushes all in, after throwing in the 5K its only another 3,750 to Luca Pagano whose total stack at this point is about 6k so if he gets it wrong, it doesn't leave him with much.  He deliberates, looks uncomfotable - and PASSES to the shock of the large spectators.  Even to the shock of Ben Grundy who actually pyschically jumped in his seat and excitedly turned over the  only!  Hmmm,  Ben was left raking in a great size pot (about 23K) and Luca was left with his head down sighing.

How come I can't see Ben Grundy's name on the chip count, especially as he just won a £23K pot !

He is on the list, shown as 13,425, presumably before the 2xup.

Hi, sorry about that, this chip count is a little older than the hand of Ben & Luca so their counts are out of date.  We will have another full chip count after 3 more levels hopefully, ty

[snoopy1239]

Ash Hussain is on 30k (I counted 28 or 29k, but he said 30k sounded better). It took two hand really, the first seeing him bet out 525 with the mighy on a Flop and calling a re-raise to 1,600. Both players checked the Flop, and then Ash pumped out 2.5k on the River to force his opponent to fold. And oh yes, that 3 high was shown. Soon after, a three was busy again, this time actually giving Ash a hand when he flopped a set of threes, action on every street providing him with the stack he currently enjoys.

I'm afraid I don't know what happened to Stuart Rutter but he has gone in the last 10 minutes!
