We have moved into Level 6, Ante's have kicked in and are surely gonna smash up a few players now.  Hopefully they will excite Richard Ashby who is "bored stupid" with his 10,000 stack.

A splattering of chip counts

Praz Bansi 8,000
Karl Mahrenholz  25,000
Chaz Chattha  16,500
James Akenhead 21,000 (just moved to Praz's table as Praz rubs his hands together).

Barny Boatman  12,000
Silo Graham  16,300
Nik Persaud  10,700
Stuart Rutter 23,700

With the average at 16,000 Tuan Le is doing mighty fine on around 50,000.  He pulls me over to inform me "I'm looking like a camel in a desert!"


Bev Pace is OUT, she never really got going and then she found Jacks in the big blind whilst the small blind had AQ.  The small blind hit sadly.

[NoflopsHomer]

Roberto Romanello is OUT of his second tournament in a week holding Aces. His small raise to 625 (blinds 150/300/25) enticing Ariston to call with 7-3 on the button, all the money going in on an 8-7-3 flop and no improvement for the Welshman.

Marty Wilson is personally commentating on every single all-in battle on his table, as though he's auditioning for Vicky Coren's job. At the same time he's making sure everyone knows everyone else on his table in a way that reminds me of Louis' dinner party in Ghostbusters...

"Ok everyone, this is Surinder Sunar, he's a professional poker player, he's just been moved our table..."



Soon enough though he's silent as they're in a battle, the board reading and Marty picks out a whole host of chips, and bets 10,150 by stamping the stack down firmly in front of Surindar in an attempt to intimidate. It's all too much the former Paris WPT winner, the bet is worth half his stack and he he doesn't want to play. Quick as a flash, Marty shows and rakes in the pot.

[NoflopsHomer]

We're now on a break before the 200/400/50 level.

Harry Zammit has a very big stack cracking with on a board.

There was just an announcement that there were a few bowls of sweets put on one of the empty tables. We didn't get a photo, but this is what it looked like within a few seconds...

[Chili]

Marty Wilson has a monster stack now, must be bordering on 80,000.  For the second consequetive hand Josh Tyler and Marty Wilson see a flop, the first encounter Josh bet and Marty came over the top by pulling a tall stack of 1 thousands over the line.  That time Josh passed. 

Next hand, on a flop of

    Josh bet out again about 3.5k and again Marty pulled a big stack of purples (1k) over the line to cover Josh.  This time Josh calls after careful consideration. On their backs and Marty is behind:

Marty   
Josh   

The turn came    River a sucker punching  to knock out Josh with a same two pair but King kicker

[NoflopsHomer]

Steve Jelinek is OUT, the Monte Carlo finalist coinflipping against and coming off worst on a board of:



Antony Horn is building a big stack in between Dan Carter and Andrew Feldman, he made a tiny 4k bet into a 10K+ plus pot on the river of a board, good enough to get Ian Lindsey to fold.

Nik Persaud is OUT (set over set)

Nick Honey is OUT

Johnny Steward is OUT sending 8,000 more chips towards Surrindar Sunar

Praz Bansi is danger level low on around 3k but still in it and showing ultimate patience.

Dan Carter has lost a few but is still on 34,000.

and please could you check on stu maria? ty x

Hey Tom, still is still in there.  No change really on 23,000 circa.  He has just moved tables sat next to Praz and James Akenhead 2 to his left, Neil Channing is also on this table who seams to be captioning it at the moment.  Keep seeing Neil raking in small pots here and there, he states on more than one occasion "I got the nuts, what can I say."


Patrick Dolan just doubled up through Willie Tann, his two pair smashing Willie's one pair of Jacks.

Just approaching Level 8 which will be 300/600  (75)

[NoflopsHomer]

Tim Flanders and Waseem Shahid are OUT.

Surindar Sunar just knocked out Steve Rooney with vs on a after an amazing brick brick turn and river.

Chaz Chattha is up to 31k after betting 2.5k, 4k and 6k on the flop, turn and river of a Q-9-2-2-6 board with A-Q and getting looked up the whole way by Ariston's 3-3.

[NoflopsHomer]

Matt Tyler departed a while ago, his A-Q no good against super aggressive Mick Fletcher's A-K on an Ace high board.

Karl Mahrenholz has a £50 bet with Jeff Kimber about getting above 50k before the end of the day, looks like the money is going the way of Jaffacake unless Karl has a rush in the last hour as he only has about 10k.

Nick Gibson is OUT.

Praz Bansi has doubled up after re-raising all-in with and hitting against . Why do I always miss when I make said move?

Dan Owston gets all-in against the awesomely named Costas Kkola (it's £1.29 in my local supermarket - unless on offer)

A big cheer for the Welshman from his supporters.

We're now on a break before the last level, and one of the ladies here has brought us jam and toast! YAY!.

Praz Bansi must feel elated at the heady heights of 15,500, going from 2,175 to this in the last 2 hours.
