This guy, Andrew Grimmason (Chub to his friends, says Gary McLovin Clarke):



has gone out to this guy:



Chub was holding, ummm, Q-4. His opponent - Aces. Oops.

As a service to the hard working updaters, I will put some names to the faces I know that are unnamed.
Espcecially as someone just asked for updates on Tony.

We thank you from the bottom of our tired, tired hearts.

How is Jen's stack looking compared to the rest of the field?

This is Paddy 'The Terminator' Tobin 

[Nuts102]

Any chance on chip counts for Nicky Power, Fox and Ian Whitty if their still left.

Ollie Boise, or Kelly as he seems to be down on list as though he swears his name is Boise, is OUT. All in on a flop, his  was looking pretty comfortable against his opponent's until, obviously the turn. The river did nothing for him and he's gone.

[danafish]

Also OUT is this gent - I believe he is Seamus Aldridge.

Tony Baitson is still in - here he is. I saw him raise, but lay his hand down when a tablemate pushed.

Ok, jsut to clarify how the bubble situation worked...30 players were officially paid, not the 31 I claimed earlier. Slight communication breakdown. Apparently some people don't speak fluent cat.

Anyway, with 30 paid, 31 was the bubble spot but once the last 2 eliminations occurred and we were down to 31 players, the players amongst themselves agreed upon lopping 900 euros off the top prize to give to 31, meaning the bubble was effectively no more and
was over in record time!



In other news, Rob Taylor just double in what seemed to be a 300k or so pot KK v TT.  A king on the flop secured it for him at an early stage and he is now sitting on a very useful stack.


Jen remains on about 140k...They have split the tables into 3 now.

The official line is that they will be playing down to 2 tables tonight, although this will depend I think on how quickly players are eliminated.

Let's see what happens....

[danafish]

Brian O'Keeffe is OUT, all in with 9-T against Paddy Tobin's pocket Aces. There was a Ten on the flop, but there was an Ace too, and with no miracle improvement for O'Keeffe, he's gone.

Picture I probably shouldn't have taken of a dazed Brian O'Keeffe, seconds after elimination:

Paddy Tobin:

[danafish]

Double up for Anna Colley - against Pat Storne's  . No improvement on the 8-K-T-2-5 board. "SHIP IT!!!!"

Also COlin Quarry is OUT in 29th.

Quick update - they will be playing down to final table tonight. Should be out of here in about half an hour at this rate. The exits are happening faster than we can report them...

Now you know why they call him

Thomas "bomber" Nolan just got his chips allin versus ...er Mr. I'm not sure as he had jsut moved to the table. If anyone can help me out, that would be purrrfect...



Thomas has quite a few chips and in fact had Mr. [you know] well covered.

Bomberman showed 3-3 and the unknown warrior had the mighty K-K...

The flop came a largely uninteresting ...

...But then disaster struck for our mystery player as he was bombed by a 3 hitting the turn, completing the bomberman's set...

He was preparing to leave but a quite fantabulous [for him] KING arrived on the river in the nick of time to give him a higher set...

Here is Bomberman shrugging off defeat with a wave to Blonde's Laxie...
