has Robert Williamson III said sorry yet for costing me my rightfull place as champion tipster for the 2nd week in a row?

He said something along the lines of "Ironside boks me again. neverends"....although I might have used poetic license in that quote. Or made it up.

Ian Woodley is OUT. his no good against Joe Beever's . Matt Tyler has also knocked a short stack with Aces against J-T.

David Harris has been taken out by I think Marcus Farthing against on a board that then bricked out.

Four remaining tables.

Blinds start at 400/800/75

We've just lost one of the two dead stacks, Jim Reid raising from the small blind to knock out Stu Rutter in the big blind, showing but finding himself behind to a pair of fours until he hit a nine on the flop to knock out one of them.

im confused. is stu out? or just the dead stack?

Sorry my bad, he knocked Stu out of the pot. I'll word it better next time.

Is this a worthwhile steal with a dead stack all-in?

Also, isn't the dead stack's hand dead because he is not at the table when the last card is dealt?

please tell n.channing not to mess up again. Liam Flood
great updates as always.

Good evening, Mr Flood. Do you have a bet on him?

1st question debatable.

2nd question. Here they are allowing the dead stacks to play when they are allin.

There was a situation on day one where Barney Boatman raised and the dead stack was allin. Barney held a pocket pair but the dead stack won the pot when his hit a pair.

This led to Barney going on a rant about how some players are happy to put their tournament life on the line with suited cards. To his credit the dead stack didn't rise to the bait and quietly continued the conservative style of poker that successfully led him into day two...

The official rule is that when a stack is all-in, his cards are always live.

Jennifer Tilly and Joe Beevers look to be the chip leaders with roughly 80k (It's really hard to count the chips, and almost impossible for JC because they have no numbers on them and he is colourblind).

GB - Antonio looks to have around 55k at the moment.

It's the variance in the rules across the nation that annoy me. This used to be the rule in Notts Gala too, then when I went down to the Broadway, they looked at me in shock when I said I was surprised that they were mucking the dead stack's hand when he was all-in. Hard to keep up, and so many rules too that could be different depending on where you play. This is the same game, isn't it?

hi,

updates on manuel palanca would be appreciated

[JungleCat03]

Jim Tierney was jsut seen raising Albert Sapiano's blind, which Albert, yes, called.

Albert checked the kh flop and a 3k bet by Jim was sufficient to take the pot down.

Next hand Jim raised to 4.6k UTG and after a logn period of chip counting he was reraised by Manuel Palanca another 10k to 14.6k. Everyone else scarpered out of the way and Jim passed showing A-K face up.

Manuel tapped the table to indicate a good pass but didn't show his cards.

Meanwhile Albert's been involved in a big pot and again Manuel Palanca was involved.

Albert raised Manuel's big blind with about 39k back to 6k. Manuel, who had albert covered, looked at his cards and saw Kings. He pushed allin and Albert, possibly influenced slightly by that earlier hand Manuel played against Jim........called of course!

Manuel's K-K was comfortably ahead of Albert's J-J and when a scareless board transpired, and the dust settled, Manuel scooped up the 90k pot and Albert Sapiano was OUT!

Manuel is the chip leader now with about 120k and is  understandably looking pretty happy with how things are going...

bump incase the cat missed it and i end up getting barry N to slap the wrong guy

[NoflopsHomer]

Jennifer Tilly raises it up in midposition, Antonio Esfandiari - It seems so utterly bizarre I'm reporting on a hand between these two players on a wet Saturday night in a casino in Bristol - repops it 16k more. Jennifer passes and Antonio shows , and begs me like a mischevious schoolboy to go and tell Phil Laak in the cash game what he's just done.

Here is the affore-mention Manuel Palanca, whose overbet with Kings was bound to catch Albert with any decent hand.

Thats what I call a good timed Manuel first update....................

[Dacey]

Got any news or chip count on Mark Stuart? That would be grand.

[JungleCat03]

hi,

updates on manuel palanca would be appreciated

12 seconds for the requested update to arrive. Sorry for the delay, I had to resolve world hunger, finish a rubik's cube and order a coke first 

He's looking very sprightly at the moment, as you would being the chip leader with just 29 players remaining.
