[NoflopsHomer]

Mike Williams limps for 16k, Lee Biddulph moves all-in for about 160k. Ben Herron pushes behind him and having had the blinds passsed through him, actually has less than Biddulph. Williams passes.

Lee Biddulph:



Ben Herron:



Board:



"And we're going to split this pot," says the Announcer. "No, we're not!" says the table and the pressroom at the same time.

Ben Herron is OUT in 8th place winning £10,600

Neil Channing sees a raised pot with Lee Biddulph, which the former takes down with a 75k bet on an board after Biddulph checks.

Next hand Neil raises and Ben Vinson calls in position.

Flop:



Neil bets 75k again, which Ben calls.

Turn:



Neil checks, Ben bets 110k. Neil asks how much Ben has left, saying, "After the flop I had you on Sixes, Sevens or Eights. Ok, you win." And Neil folds.

[NoflopsHomer]

Lee Biddulph raises to 59k. "You got a big hand?" asks Mike Williams before passing in the big blind.

Both show an Ace.

Woohoo.

[NoflopsHomer]

Paul Gardner, Lee Biddulph, Paul Bracken and Mike Williams see an unraised pot.

Flop:



Check to Gardner who bets 32k, Biddulph calls. Paul Bracken passes, Mike Williams also calls, and the pot is getting big.



Mike checks, Paul checks, Lee bets a possible weakish 80k and the other two quickly fold.

[Chili]

Paul Bracken raised it up to 46k and got two callers in Gardner & Williams, 3 way pot see:

  The blinds check to button Bracken who bets 127,000. They both pass and Bracken shows  .

Slowed down now, since the lightning start.

[Chili]

We have started a new level just now:

10k / 20k  (2k)

Seat 1   Ben Vinson   529,000
Seat 2   Lee Biddulph   287,000
Seat 3   Paul Murrell   653,000
      
Seat 5   Neil Channing   408,000
Seat 6   Paul Bracken   537,000
Seat 7   Mike Williams   701,000
Seat 8   Paul Gardner   311,000

[Chili]

A little chip movement - Channing raises to 65k total and is faced with a reraise from Bracken for another 110k more.  He passes.

Next hand, Vinson raises to 61k and Gardner goes all in for a further 245k, Ben raises a few eyebrows and passes.



Williams raises again to 80k from early possition, Paul Gardner next to him insta reraises for another 131k more.  Passes round to Williams who goes for the dwell and "show me" tactic........No response.......Dwells a bit more, Williams folds.

[NoflopsHomer]

Paul Bracken confidently pushes out 90k from UTG, Paul Gardner calls.

Flop:



Ragtastic and check check.



Bracken bets 90k, Gardner calls.



Bracken moves all-in, Gardner passes.


Next hand, Mike Williams limps UTG. Paul Murrell comes in from the button. Channing makes up the small blind and Bracken checks.



Check to Murrell who bets 50k and only Williams calls.



Chec check.



Now Williams leads out for a 'call-me call-me' bet of 60k. But Murrell raises another 60k and I'm speculating Q-J or K-T.

Murrell, "I'll show you if you pass...I'll show you if you call."

So we're going to see his cards either way.

"I can't pass for another 60k can I?" says Williams. He calls and shows Q-J. And the cheeky min-raiser Murrell can only show T-9, "I meant to make it 180k, I don't know what happened."

Next hand, Neil Channing moves all-in and wins the blinds to a big cheer from the crowd.

[NoflopsHomer]

It's all very...



at the moment. No-one is so far ahead that they are dominating the table, and it's looking like anyone could actually win this competion whereas in Plymouth, it was only going to be one of four or five people.

SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A GAME OF POKER

[NoflopsHomer]

Mike Williams limps for 20k, Ben Vinson raises to 95k from the small blind, which pushes Mike off.

Blinds 12/24k/2k

Paul Gardner raises to 105k and takes the blinds.

Updating is a thirsty business.

[NoflopsHomer]

Neil moves in again from the small blind and gets the blinds and antes, but still has only 200k. Next hand he's at it again from the button, stealing again. He's still the short stack though...
