There is no 3rd consecutive raise from UTG, enabling Roland to riase from the cutoff on Joe's big blind and Joe decides to let the grinning Roland have this one...
When Matt, on the button, finds the pot unopened as it gets to him, he has no hesitation in moving his relatively short stack allin on Bambos' big blind. Joe and Bambos quickly muck their cards, allowing Matt, who incidentally is looking quite dapper today, to pick up the blinds...

Here's how close we are to the action today. Not having been to Gala Bristol before, I had some minor nightmares - Vic London style - of us having to a 15 minute round walk between cardroom and pressroom. Not here though. Hurrah!  |

Joe raises to 29k from the button, and fixes Manuel in the big blind, with whom he has one or two battles today, with his frosty stare.
As Bambos passes and Manuel has a little pause before also passing, I am slightly concerned that Joe has actually turned into a statue, and that small pigeons are going to start nestling on his head as he remains fixed in his pose for several seconds after he has won the pot. Eventually though, he breaks out of his granite stance and mvoes his hands to collect the chips he has just picked up...
How long since we saw a flop??

Roland now moves in from what is the button on Joe's big blind.
Roland's shove gets through and he picks up a nice set of chunky blinds for his trouble
It's still 6k 12k with a 1k ante at the moment. 15 minutes of this level remain before we reach 8k 16k with a 1k ante at which point stacks will REALLY start shortening up and there will doubtless be a host of allins happening...
Floppy captured a lovely picture of my back there by the way...THANKS FLOPS!

Although once the levels reach 8k 16k -1k, the player's options are likely to be limited to shoving for the small stacks and shoving as resteal/ reraises for the larger stacks, it can't reasonably be said that the structure is crapshooty.
The TD rolled back the blinds in an effort to stimulate an interesting final with lots of play and the players were very deep at the start of the day but the cagey play in the early stages has preciptated this situation now.
Whatever happens the next hour is likely to be VERY exciting!

Rob raises from the button to 30k, Roland passes, Barny makes it a suspiciously low 47k more and Rob passes.
Roland, "Wow, I'm so lucky, I was just going to move in."
"I know you were, I'm cursed..." replied a frustrated Barny.
