Dave Barnes just doubled through former chip leader Mark Friedman who looks to have lost at least half of his former 64k stack.

The board read:



and Barnes was all-in with against , a couple of non-descript sixes later and he doubled through to what looks to be around 40k.

  ***** MONSTER POT ALERT ******

Glancing upon a floplike

 

Van Hoang bets 4,300.  Richard Gryko decides to raise it upto 12,300.   Van took a little while to decide (and maybe this is when Gryko picked up a little weakness in Van) but he makes it another 20,400, so Gyrko moved all in for only another 13,275 extra to Van.  Now Van is shaking his head and really is not glorious about putting in the extra strongly believing he is behind.  Gyrko played it just right to make Van believe that his  had shrunk into non pot winning insignificance! 

But with so much money in the pot, he had to make the call, so he did with only 10k left behind.  On their backs:

Van 
Gyrko      for a humoungous draw.

Turn   
River   

and Gyrko missed the lot!  That must put Van Hoang on around 95,000!!!

Dan Owston has knocked out Norman Rad with 2-2 vs erm...3-4 on a Q-4-2 board. (But not before Dan introduced himself to Norman as 'Roger' for absolutely no reason whatsoever). Dan then also knocked out Richard De Freitas with K-8 against Q-8.

Brian Johnson has just lost two consecutive big pots, first to Edward Cahill with K-T vs A-J on a J-J-7-Q-A board. "Why not a Nine?" cried Brian.

Then shortly after, he doubled up Rumit to nearly 80k with K-J vs A-9 on a K-6-9-9-4 board after all the money went in on the turn..

Grantham & Ladrokes Steve Mitchell has struggled all day to get over his starting stack.  Having Aces & Kings busted ealier in the day, anyway he plodded on and recently reached the heady heights of 26,000.  I believe in deciding to go for it in the last half hour instead of sitting still he clashed with Ashely Hayles. 

Steve limped on the button and Hayles just checked the BB.  They saw a flop of

 

Ashley bet 2/3rds of the pot and Steve pushed all in, just bad timing as Hayles was going nowhere with his J10 and Steve only had K10.  No help for Steve Mithcell and he was out in 41st place.

Paul 'Muzza' Murrell is OUT, A-J no good against Ashley Hayles' Queens.

Play is almost at an end, Maria and Smoopy are just getting the last few hands...

------------

Ali Sarkeshik was blessed with a double up in the dying seconds. He managed to find (1) Aces and (2) cheeky Welshman Dan owston nicking the blinds at just the right time.

It wasn't a big all-in raise, but enough nonetheless, but Dan fancied a gamble and called with K-7 in the hope that he had two live cards.

... he didn't like what a saw.

A King on the Flop gave Dan a glimmer of hope, but it wasn't to be and Ali earned himself a timely last minute double through.

Last hand of the night and time for shortie Thomas Dunwoodie  for a make or break moment.  He shoved with K8 but ran into running hot Hayles's Aces.  Dunwoodie lost the nowhere near race and went out.

It looked like - although this might need confirming - that Van Huang was tonights chip leader with 130,00.  So that means a glorious seat in next years £3k Grand Final thanks to Blue Sqaure.
