Okay dokey folks, the last 4 are back from dinner and should be starting any time soon.  Here are the latest chip counts for your perusal.  Blinds are now 15k / 30k  (2k).

Seat 1   Ben Vinson   1,262,000
Seat 3   Paul Murrell   1,042,000
Seat 6   Paul Bracken   728,000
Seat 8   Paul Gardner   494,000

[Chili]

First hand and Ben comes in dancing with a 95K button raise, Murrell in the small blind makes the call and Bracken passes.  On a flop of:

    they both checked and we see

   Murrell bets out 140K and Ben passes.  Murrell shows pocket nines.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ben Vinson and the Pauls. (A 60's rock 'n' roll band name if ever I saw one)

[NoflopsHomer]

Bracken raises to 90k, Murrell calls from the big blind.



Murrell checks, Bracken bets 150k and Murrell looks a little glum, and then passes sharpish.

Short stack Paul Gardner raises to 110k, Ben Vinson gives him evils but then folds. Resting his hand on his chin, Paul Murrell announces, "Raise to 320k."

"Oohhhhhhhh," goes the pressroom collective.

Into the tank goes Gardner, he's made a big raise, he passes though, and I think he'll be rueing not just making it 70k - 80k instead of 110k and then still folding.

[Chili]

Ben Vinson raises to 91,000, Murrell re raised to 250,000.  Bracken nows does a huge dwell up, counts his chips, sighs, even states "I can win the tournament right here!"  But then passed!!  Back to Ben Vinson who also passes,  then Murrell says to Bracken "What you have, Jacks?"

Bracken says "Of course I had Jacks, thought that was obvious!"  Bracken looks a little disturbed at his pass on more reflection.

[NoflopsHomer]

Paul Murrell raises from the button, Paul Gardner moves in, and Murrell is pot committed.

for Murrell

for Gardner

Board:




"Up the ladder!" is again the cry. Not sure which ladder he's referring to or where it's actually going. He's up to 670k now, but at the same time he seems to limp far too much.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ben Vinson raises to 91,000, Murrell re raised to 250,000.  Bracken nows does a huge dwell up, counts his chips, sighs, even states "I can win the tournament right here!"  But then passed!!  Back to Ben Vinson who also passes,  then Murrell says to Bracken "What you have, Jacks?"

Bracken says "Of course I had Jacks, thought that was obvious!"  Bracken looks a little disturbed at his pass on more reflection.

I can't believe he says this and then passes. Also, Ben is VERY aggressive, and Murrell's re-raising range can easily incorporate most pairs.

[Chili]

The very next hand Paul Gardner doubles up AGAIN this time through Ben Vinson.  Gardner raised to 120k and Ben called in the BB.  We saw a flop like:

    Ben checks, Gardner bets 160,000.  Ben then makes it a further 400,000 to carry on and Paul just shrugs "Im all in then!"  Ben calls the remainder.  On there backs:

Ben
Gardner   

the cards came      and sends Ben Vinson down to the short stack on 475,000 and Paul Gardner catapoults to 1,353,000 for the chip lead.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ben (down to 475k now) bets 45k, Muzza calls.



Ben checks, Muzza bets 100k and Ben passes.
