Snoops, you got John Phan mistaken with David "the Dragon" Pham.

Gosh, you're right. I'm always doing that. I mistook Kathy Liebert for Shannon Elizabeth once.

Easily done when you wake up bleary eyed and quickly glance across the bed...

Double up for Hafiz Khan (pictured) courtesy of the enigmatic John Dibella, the latter's A-J no match for Khan's Pocket Kings, his demands of a cheeky straight after a 5-3-2 Flop falling on stony Poker God ground.

having said that Kathy is absolutely lovely (before anyone takes offence) and a fantastic dinner companion.

I'm sure it's really nice, but we've not seen much outside. Too much fun in the poker room.

Splendid news for the Brits, Asa Smith is still there with a health 310,000, as is Craig Hopkins, now on a tasty yum yum 410,000.

Sometimes, you have to wonder why the TV crews stick the giant microphones in front of the guys who are least likely to talk...

"William Thorson, a few words? William? Anything? Little smile? Something for the folks back in Sweden? William? William? Ok, fine..."



"Eric Lynch, online scourge known as 'Rizen'! A few words? Eric? Anything? Little smile? Something for the folks back home in Internetland? Eric? Eric? Ok, fine..."

Very air conditiony.

How's the weather up there? (Blimey, it's like talking to Phil Gordon.)

[snoopy1239]

Sean Gardiner is OUT. No further details, except that if it was a bad beat, he's vomiting in the toilets, and if it was a straight forward exit, he's playing online in the lobby.

Thierry Van Den Berg has hit a big double up with against the awesomely named Hunter Frey's after the board came out a topsy-turvy . The Dutchman was extremely honest with his stark assessment of the hand, "I've played pretty well today but this was very very bad."



Asa Smith makes it 25k to play, Robert Lederer raises to 70k, folded back to the Brit who moved all-in, Lederer folded and Smith took a healthy pot.



Laughs between Duy Lee and Emil Timberg, the latter betting the river. Duy Lee made the call for what looked like a third of his stack. Timberg grimaced and flipped for a missed flush draw, then his eyebrows raised even higher when Duy Lee showed .





Duncan Bell is OUT after calling for his tournament life with on a board against Eric Van Den Burg's , a on the turn but the river sealed the Canadian's fate.

Men are interesting beings and differ in many ways to women. Not only are we deemed less sensitive, but we also have a seemingly unrelenting sex drive, perhaps driven by one of the major assets that separate the genders, the male testicles. However, it is these hanging spheres that can often be a major burden to men, and poker players especially so, as they can often be made available for others for a good, firm kicking.

One player who has experienced this form of physical abuse today is Scandinavian player and early pace setter Johan Berquist. After Jaques Zaicik raised it up from the small blind, Johan re-raised from the big. Dwelling momentarily, Jaques announced call and turned his hand over, seemingly ignorant to the fact that Johan still had two stacks of chips in front of him.

With the Tournament Director called over, it was decided that Jaques' hand, which was A-7 suited, incidentally, would be alive, but not be in a position to bet. On this note, play continued and a J-5-2 rainbow Flop was dealt. With Jaques' actions frozen, play moved straight to Johan who pushed all-in for what looked like a fair amount of chips.

Without hesitation and to the surprise of everyone at the table, and any onlooker for that matter, Jaques announced call without hesitation as if he was simply refusing to be pushed around or taken advantage of. However, he was in need of divine Poker God assistance as Johan had Pocket Sixes, and seemed quite happy with his current situation.

Unfortunately, poker is a very cruel game, and those Scandinavian love balls did indeed receive a wallop in the form of a gut-wrenching Seven that hit the Turn. Jaques banged the table and screamed "Yes" as if he'd just won the lottery as Johan shook his head in disbelief. A harmless 5c later and Jaques was left to rake in a chunky pot as the organisers broke the table. Johan, meanwhile, could only slip out of view and weep on the rail.

I think everyone agreed that this was a truly bizarre moment. "He missed his Flop ans still called," observed one startled player. "He's been making mistakes all day," said another. From my perspective, it seemed like a very odd call indeed. I'm no expert by any means, but there are very few hands he's beating there and the chip stacks weren't really such that Johan would be messing around with rags. I don't think anyone thought Johan had a weaker hand than A-7.

The players are now on a 15 minute toilet break, although I believe they have missed their chance to attend the gentleman's with Norm MacDonald as I did earlier.
