Is Mr Crapper odds-on to reach the final table?

Funny you should say that Kin, I should just pull up a chair next to Ian Cox and watch him rake in the chips.  He must have close to 100,000 now as I just saw him stacking up more chips. 

"What happened Ian?"

"Well there was a raise and a reraise, and I looked down at Aces"

He runs good, his opponent was Phillip Hardy who had Kings.  Ian shrugs, smiles and stacks his towers higher.

A few chippy chip counts that you might be interested in:

Annette Obrestad -- 36,000
Richard Ashby -- 14,400
Jonothon Butters -- 39,000
Martin Green -- 19,300
Ben Grundy -- 17,800
Ian Cox -- 107,000
Len Collin -- 7,500
Arnaud Mattern -- 36,200
Josh Gould -- 41,800
Dave Colclough -- 64,100
Mike McDonald -- 59,100
Ash Hussain -- 43,300
Paul Gourlay -- 17,300

It looks like Nicolas Levi and Chris Bush are gone, although I need to double check the latter of those two.

That Mike "Timex" McDonald youngfella is a bit of a genius. I'd say keep a close eye on him.

Hubba hubba!

We are half way through level 9 and are already down to 89 players.  The board is showing the prize money so I thought I would share the wealth:

I'm not sure how he got so low, but Len Collin doubled up to 7.5k with K-Q versus 8-3 before pushing all-in from the button on the very next hand and snapping up the blinds.

Hi guys,

Great coverage as usual. But it would be far more interesting for your french readers if you could gie us details on 2 franchies : Ludovis Lacay (CL at the start of the day) and Guillaume de la Gorce.

Thanks ,

"There are not enough Martin Green pictures or updates" cries Joey "railbird" Lovelady.  Well for the Green fans out there he is on 19,300 and is "NOT" just waiting for aces.  I have played with Martin before and he certainly has some slick moves in his repertoire.

Please. How much did he pay you to write that?!

Len Collin is OUT. He pushed all-in from the button and was called by Paul Testud.

"First pair today," mumbled Len as he departed... although he was graceful enough to shake the hand of his assassin.

Ben Grundy has gone, he lost a lot of chips with AQ v A9 all in preflop.  Then left with a pittance, moved all in with A5 but was called by AQ and that's all she wrote.

An exciting double up for Noah Boeken now on around 80,000.  I caught the action late unfortunately, but I joined the plentiful onlookers at the table when Portugeuse player Antonio Lemos was facing an all in from Noah with 4 cards on the board.  He was actually put on the clock and looked like a very tough decision.  The cards on board were:

     

Thomas Kremser was next to Lemos and announced "You have 5 secs, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"   On Thomas's 1, the Bono duplicate said "CALL" and was faced with a superfast turn over from Noah Boeken holding

    for the flopped flush.  Mr Lemos tried to muck his cards but Thomas made him turn the cards over and showed  and a gasp in shock followed from the audience.  I missed the action previously but onlookers said that Noah had been dishing out some speach play, so maybe it was this that finally tipped the balance for the call.

Anway, Antonio Lemos was left with only about 4,500 in chips and a very red face.

Thomas Kremser has announced those mortal poker words and we have action (at some point soon I'm sure).  The structure of today is that we shall either play down to the money, which is 24, or to 8 levels whichever comes first.

I whipped out the blonde camera and demanded I get TheReader23's boys all together for a group hug.
