Mike McDonald has made a major recovery, and is back up to close to 20k.

He called 3k on the turn of a board before both checked the river. Holding pocket Fives, his Tens full of Fives, (Or Fives Full of Tens too) scooping the pot.

Praz is adding to his stack, his scandinavian opponent bet out 1,650 on a flop before Praz made it 3,500 which was called. Both checked the turn. On the river, the scandinavian checked again and Praz bet out 8k and won the pot. He's raised two hands since then and saw and flops but check/folded both times to Leo Kam and Peter Meere.

Andrew Feldman, who was a late, late entry to the tournament is struggling along with around just 4k.

Tony Phillips is quickly turning into my favourite player to update on.  If I am anywhere near his table he just shouts to me his chip count - I wish every player did that.  Life would be a breeze in update land.

Tony Phillips - 27,000

Chris Moorman ran into trouble - In an intricate hand that I totally missed he lost a 50k pot with QQ v AK post flop.  THEN there was a 15 min break but Chris didn't come back for 30 mins because he thought it was an hour dinner break, so a couple of K went astray there.  He is currently on 7,500.

Jani Sointula is OUT. A-Q vs Jacks.

Steve 'Allinstevie' Devlin still looks to be far and away the chip leader with over 100k...

Guys for great updates.

[NoflopsHomer]

Nicky Power -- 30k
Chris Moorman -- 23k (Just doubled up with Tens against Ace Queen)

They're now playing the final six hands of the day and the clock has been stopped with all the media being kicked out of the area now for the labourious bag 'n' tag time.

Maria is just doing a final couple of hands whilst we wrap everything up.

Mike McDonald has continued his surge backup the poker ladder, he re-raised an UTG raise, and found a player pushing behind him. The initial raiser passed and Mike called as you'd guess, with Aces, the all-in stack showed A-K, the board coming Q-J-2-9-5. There was a slight wince in the face from the original raiser who claimed Queens or Jacks. McDonald has around the 60k mark now.

Good night Taximan, thanks for your support always!

Very interesting hand now just developed between a scandielad, Praz Bansi & Peter Meere.  It started with a raise from scandie to 1,800, a call from Praz on the button and a call from Meere in the big blind.  Flop:

    

Meere checked, scandielad bet 2,900 and Praz reraised to 7,500.  Now Peter Meere is clearly pained and can't decide for a good while what to do.  He counts his chips to see probably if he has enough to get Praz off the hand but he really has one move left which is all in.  He does decide on the all in BUT doesn't announce it and puts his stack ove the line in two separate motions.  So the movement is deamed as a call only leaving Meere with 4,600 behind.  The original raiser and flop better passed and left Praz and Meere to it.

They see the turn:      with Meere to act first he does put the rest of his stack over the line to make it 4,600 to Praz.  Praz announces "oops" and smiles.  It's just with so much in the pot can he really pass?  Praz says "I can beat 9 10."  He calls the extra and we eagerly get to see.  I suspected someone had 9 10 but which one of them?

Meere 
Praz 

With a 2 on the river and no help for Meere his is eliminated at this late stage of the evening by Praz making an awesome call in my opinion.  Meere was not happy and repeated something with a 4 in it!

We're finished now.

Play restarts from 12pm (11am UK time) and we'll do it all again with the remaining players.

See you there.
