[NoflopsHomer]

Yeah, Mark getting away there with betting just a quarter of the pot to take it down.

Mark limps in for 12k. Passed around to Owen Lock who makes up the small blind, and Dave Barnes checks.



Dave Barnes checks out of turn and Owen bets 32k, Dave passes. Mark, who does limp a lot with a wide variety of hands, (as Dave Colclough found to his cost last night) decides to fold this time.

Ben Vinson makes it 38k, Dave Barnes dwells for an absolute age but folds. Ben shows A-Q.

Seat 4:  Paul Moss -- 202,000

A rolling stone may gather no moss but this Moss has certainly gathered some stones.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ben raises to 42k, Mark Friedman calls from the small blind.



Check check.



Check from Mark again, Ben debates about throwing out a few of the golden 5k chips, but checks.



Mark now bets out 50k. Ben calls but Mark shows 9-6 for a flopped straight. A couple of the other players ask Ben what he had, "No pair," came the nonchalant reply, "I thought he had a big hand or nothing."

Get in there Carlos, Another Double up and its yours

[Chili]

Blinds encounter now, Zach made it 20,000 more from the small blind.  Carlos Barrera just made the call in the bb.  Flop is:



Simon goes all in and Carlos makes the quick call not surprisingly with  .  Simon turned over  , the last two cards were rubbish for Simon and Carlos doubles up to around 150,000.  This leaves Simon Zach horribly short with 37,000.

[NoflopsHomer]

Dave Barnes raises to 34k, Michael Ellis asks how much he has behind,

"Errr, twenty...forty, seventy-four...no seventy-two."

Ellis passes. Passed to Paul Moss who exclaims, "Wow."

He then folds deuce-three offsuit face-up.


Mark calls agian, this time from the cut-off. A severely short-stacked Simon Zach with just 35k passes from the button. Paul Moss calls from the small blind, and Sami Yusuf says, "Fire away."



Checked to Mark who bets 32k and the two blinds offer little resistance.

[NoflopsHomer]

Dave Barnes limps, Sami Yusuf limps in from the button, (It seems a lot of players are following Mark Friedman's example and open limping - something I personally hate). Ben calls from the small blind and Owen Lock checks his option.



Checked around.



Ben takes a deep breath and throws out 30k. Owen passes. Dave says in his gruff gravely voice, "You got a three?" (Which I don't think anyone at the table believes Ben would bet with on its' own). Dave mucks and Sami folds also.

We're just having a short break before the next level starts.

(It seems a lot of players are following Mark Friedman's example and open limping - something I personally hate).

Lol, sounds like the Poker Torns in Stoke

[Mrs Fatmarra]

Any chance of a chip count - pleaseeeeeeeeeee

[NoflopsHomer]

Mark raises to 55k and it's passed to Ben Vinson on the button who thinks whilst looking like he's eating his own fingers, he gets up to the first knuckle before deciding not risk a confrontation against the American with a third of the chips in play. The blinds fold too.

Next hand, Simon moves all-in for his last 31k. Dave Barnes says, "I owe you one, I'll give you a spin." He calls from the small blind. Michael Ellis calls from the big blind.



Dave moves all-in, Michael Ellis now asks for a count, it's 69k. Michael Ellis calls.

for Dave Barnes

for Michael Ellis

for Simon Zach.

Turn:



Sealing Zach's fate and Barnes double-up

River:



Simon Zach is OUT in 9th place winning £14,800

I'm not sure which I dislike more in how this hand played out, Dave Barnes calling off 1/3 of his stack preflop or Ellis calling on the flop when there was going to be no way he was ahead.

[NoflopsHomer]

Dave Barnes limps on the button, Michael Ellis makes up the small blind and Mark Friedman checks.



Ellis and Barnes checks, Dave bets out, and Ellis check/raises all-in for 96k. As Friedman gets out the way, Barnes tries to get Ellis to talk but gets very little response. Eventually Barnes makes the call.

Ellis:



Turn:



River:



Barnes is punished for not raising preflop and letting Ellis into the pot. Barnes is on 126k and Ellis back up to 257k.

Paul Moss with just over 100k moved all in blind (although he never said until after he was called)  and was called by Owen Lock, on their backs and

Paul Moss   
Owen Lock      the board came out:

 

No help for Moss out valiantly in 8th place after coming into day 2 with only 20,000 chips.
