This is the smug, mischevious look of man who ended the session well, Mr Camel first doubling up against Mark Friedman with A-7 versus 4-5 all-in pre-flop on an A-9-T-8-6 board. On the very next hand, Friedman raised it up again, only for Keith to push all-in for the second consecutive time. Friedman folded and was shown a cheeky K-9 off. In the end it was Friedman who was spitting rather than the Camel.

Gonna sound like a
Ben
Vinson
limped with Aces, and got
Roberto
Romanello
to push with K-T on an Eight high flop, trapping him.
Vinson over 300k and Romanello OUT.

Steve Gibbons will doing the funky gibbon from the rail now after being the one elimination in a three man pot which saw two men, including himself, all-in pre-flop. The other chap holding his testicles and praying to the Poker Gods was Paul Smallwood - his shortstack had crossed the line with
, behind, but in good shape against Gibbon's
. However, there was also another player in the pot, big stacker Mark Friedman, his final call with
being almost obligatory.
But, as Jimmy Greaves once said (although maybe not in reference to poker), it's a funny old game, and after the board came
, the man in third jumped into 1st to take what was in front of him leaving Friedman to snap up the side pot.
In the aftermath, a disgruntled Paul Moss confessed to holding A-Q.

Olegas Kovaleskis is next to hit the rail, although in slightly more squeamish circumstances than prior exits. This time round it was the dreaded cowboys being de-saddled, Mark Friedman's A-J rivering an Ace to send the Londoner packing.
----------
American Mark Freidman has an odd style. Whenever he plays a hand, he suddenly adopts this cocoon like position as others make their decisions. When the Flop comes out, he glances up, makes his move, then returns his hands to his head. Maybe he needs some sunglasses or he's got a constant headache or something, but either way, it's very bizarre.
The last hand I witnessed him adopt this unusual posture was against Keith Hawkins, the Camel raising it up to 20k after Friedman had limped. It was checky, checky on a
board with Keith's bet on the River with
being instacalled by Friedman's
.

i honestly think there is only one winner atm and tha man is mr
Stuart
Fox
he really is a different gravey.
snoops pass hime my well wishes and tell him not to blow up and save the beers for after lol.
He has not blown up, in fact he has added a great deal more chips to his towers. Stuart raised to 30k with
and Maz Nowab pulled the big move on him and moved all in with
. Stuart dwelled for a long while and nearly nearly passed, we all thought if Maz had more chips then Stuart would have passed but who are we to step into Stuarts mind? So he makes the call and a Queen seals the deal to send Maz Nowab OUT.

Dave Colclough lost an absolute monster pot after Sami Yusuf button raised and Dave set him in, eventually Sami called for his whole stack:
Dave:
Sami:
Board:
Dave is down to around 40k, Sami Yusuf over 250k.
Sami Yusuf continued to accumulate chips in a hand soon after against Stuart Fox after the latter made up the small blind and then bet 8k and 20k on the flop and turn of a
before both checked the river and Yusuf's
was good.
Carlos Walker has got a double through moving all-in with
against Ian Frazer's Q-J. Carlos flopped a flush and that was that. (Thanks to Dena who wrote this all down for me, sign her up as an updater?)
Paul Moss has knocked out Andy Fordham-lookalike Richard Wheatley.
Finally here's the remaining 3 tables, the TV crews need access for the bubble players, so we're on the outside...For now...

They're at it like the clappers down there at the moment,
Rumit
Somaiya
the next player to feel the wrath of a the dreaded coinflip. His opponent almost folded pre-flop, in fact, as Rumit pushed over the top with Pocket Sevens. It wasn't that much more to
Mike
Ellis
, maybe just double what he'd already raised, but he eventually made the call with
, relieved to see he was in a 50-50 confrontation.
The Flop came a relatively safe
, but the Turn was rather clinical, a
giving Rumit just one miracle out which failed to emerge on the
River.

Jim Moult just went all in for about 73,000 with AQ and came up with another hand from the card machine Vinson, this time a lowly KK. But an Ace first card out has boosted Jim's stack to about 170,000.
------------------------
Then very shortly afterwards, Vinson knocked out Ian Frazer. Frazer being a bit low made the move with Q9 and was called by the AK of Vinson. No improvement for Frazer and he is OUT in 20th.
-------------------------------
Giving Ben Vinson a break from the action, Simon Zach knocked out Ali Zihni with AQ v 88 on a board of K 7 10 6 J.

Info coming in thick and fast now, we are not actually allowed in between the tables so we have to scrabble with other bloggers for the exact information. Anyhow, we know that Dave Colclough doubled through Sami Mahmoud with 88 against AJ and is now on about 100k.
----------------------
On the other table, David Barnes is on the critical list with only about 40,000 so he goes all in after a raise of 26k from Vinson. Vinson calls the extra 11,800, and on their backs:
Barnes AK
Vinson K10
Board Q J 4 Q 3
Barnes upto 80,000.

Our remaining tables:
I had a brief conversation with Jim Moult (Bookiebasher), who is finding it difficult with big stacks Ben Vinson and Simon Zach to his left, making it tough to purloin the blinds. He managed one double up through Ben much earlier (previously reported as being through Mark Friedman, sorry). He raised
and Ben called with
, the flop being
and all the money going in before Jim spiked another six on the turn.

Sami Mahmoud is OUT in 18th place after his Eights were no good against Dave Colclough's Aces. We're now on the prize-bubble in that 17th gets nothing but 16th gets an entry into next years' Grand Final.

Paul Moss, Dave Colclough and Stuart Fox see a K-T-8 rainbow flop, Moss checks, DC bets 20k and Foxy announces all-in, Paul Moss thinks for a LONG time before passing, and Dave passes quickly afterwards.

Just as we were about to go to break, infact about 30 seconds before the end, Stuart Fox & Mark Friedman get involved in a pot and not for the first time lately. Both of them having large stacks, Friedman raised to 30k and Stuart reraised to 101,000 ontop. Friedman didn't take that much longer to announce "make it 202,000" having about 100 or so left behind. Stuart said all in rather quickly and Friedman called being as it wasn't a great deal more. Everyone watching i'm sure were all waiting to see AA v KK's, instead we saw
Stuart
Friedman
The flop came a promising for Stuart:
then
So Friedman had Stuart covered and is now absolutely monster stack with 656,000, his nearest rival on the table only has 127,000!!!!!
