Rob Garfield is OUT in 13th. He found himself all-in with A-T versus Arco Zuyderduyn's K-9, before a 7-K-8-2-K sent him packing. I won't repeat his expletives as he left the table.

lol he just phoned he certainly didnt hold back in his expletives did he snoops???

Unlucky Rob.

How is Daniel doing? This the last level tonight?

[danafish]

That's Alastair lurking behind Arco Z. He's my friend.

Double-up for D Shearer.

Dervis Ozkarapinar raises to 2850 utg. Derek Lawless to his immediate left calls, but Shearer goes all in from the button for around 15k total. Dervis gets out of the way, leaving the decision to call with Lawless (someone please insert funny Lawless joke here), which he eventually does.

Lawless -

Shearer -

(At this point one of the cardroom guys comes over to ask whether anyone minds if they turn the volume up for the fight. Everyone sort of grunts assent.)

Board -

"Nice hand, mate," sighs Lawless.

After a lengthy discussion, it has been agreed that play shall end for the day with 12 players remaining.

Ryan Fronda was very eager to carry on playing, one of many not keen on returning for Day 2 without a guaranteed pay.

"I think everyone was happy to give 8th and 9th 750 quid, Snoops," commented Ryan. "I reckon we could have got rid of another three with one more level, especially with this guy [pointing at Arco's stack], he's being calling with all sorts."

However, Carmel was adamant in her decision, saying that she was stopping the tournament because of the upcoming noise from the crowd watching the boxing. "It's not going to be a good atmosphere for poker," she admitted. "I'm making this decision because it's for the good of the tournament."

And on that note, the decision was made.

How about turning the boxing off 'til then end of the next level?

What happens if the boxing runs til 6? is she gonna extend the hours of the casino til after 6?

There was a bit of talk about that, because I don't think they are looking forward to turfing out a load of drunks half way through the boxing match. Not a job I'd want.
