Jeff Buffenbarger has a Big Ole Stack, maybe 50k or so. Alex Martin says he's playing really well. And if Alex Martin says so, it must be true.

Here in that pose that the strip club owner in Kill Bill makes, you know the one i mean. "Right here" -




A double-up for young Lee Redmond, who looks like a less world-weary Matt Dale I think. He's still only on 7k or so:


lol, I'm reading this too you know Wink

Have to admit there is a slight similarity....

Is there any news on The Atkinator (James Atkin). He appears to have been near the chip leaders at the end of the first count, but then not there on the second one. I guess it's obvious that he's out - must have been a yooge pot though!...

Garrad is a fantastic player.

Any news on Craig Mccorkell at all?  Just heard Calvin Stacey went out AQ vs TT too.

Red Dog approached me to tell me "Ah've lost 3 fahv K pots in a rou-oond!" (I've lost three five thousand chip pots in a round)

He is not happy about this, although possibly he may be more perturbed by my phonetic interpretation of his accent! (I'll find out later I guess...)

Julian and Josh have been swapping chips. Julian related he had lost a hefty 10k chunk to Josh. Josh overheard this and piped in, in his inimitable way "I made a GREEEEATTT call....and you can quote me on that!" So I am.

But Josh's big stack has taken some hits too. "I've lsot about 22k", losing a flip with 3-3 v Ah when the board double paired, then losing a pot to Julian when Julian hit an ace on the river after betting all the way and Josh calling...

He's still on roughly 27k but was a little disappointed not to be up there with the chip leaders. "It's a good structure though Josh, still in good shape" was the best platitude I could muster at the time, to which he agreed.



Just before the break two of the notable shortstacks, Pete Singleton and Dan Carter were allin.

Firstly Pete was allin with A-Q, racing against his opponent's 2-2 and hitting on a board of 6-7-K-Q-7 to augment his dwindling stack...

Then it was Dan's turn, getting allin with K-Q versus his opponent's T-8. "I've got live cards!" yelled his opponent enthusiastically, no doubt happy after finding his fingers caught in the till but a board of J-5-3-2-4 brought no surprises and brought a welcome double up for Dan Carter.

My One Percent, formerly known as Jen Mason, has doubled up!

Ian Cox made it 1600 and the American dude two seats to Jen's right below whose name we think is probably Sacha Rosewood made it 4800. Jen called and Ian got out of the way.

Flop - and I am fairly sure that Jen open-shoved for 9600. With much giggling, Sacha Rosewood (ID confirmation, anyone?) called.

Jen - As

Sacha - um,

Turn and river respectively - - Two Diamonds

I now have One Percent of 28k.

Followin on from that I have news of some eliminations...

First off, two gentlemen I didn't recognise (but one of which I think was Mehrdad Saffari) exchanged raises preflop and Mehrdad Saffari, the erstwhile chipleader had obviously lost much of his early stack as he found himself ALLIN with his KQ versus the 8-8 of his opponent.

Unfortunately, for him, he failed to hit and after a promising start Saffari found it's a jungle out there as he joined the rail...



Next up Ian Cox raised on the button to 1800, and after his opponent Sasha Rosewood asked him for a count, he reraised anohter 8k or so. Ian felt that Sasha was at it and moved in for his last 7k-ish and Sasha called him.

Ian's intuition was correct, as he found his A-7 to be ahead of Sasha's -9s.

A flop of 6-9-8 brought hope to both players although it was a bad one for Ian, and the 4 turn and 6 river failed to produce the straight or ace he required meaning, despite a brave and well judged move, Ian's tournament was over.

"Unlucky mate, well played" I offered in consolation and put my hand out in customary mode. Ian got up from his seat and as he shook my hand, I felt the bones beginning to bend under his granite grip suggesting he was perhaps not 100% with the way his tournament ended!.... "I had a feeling he was at it" he told me grumpily as he departed. Even the golden boys have bad days I guess!

You're doing a great job!  I refuse to cheer anyone on because it's an insta bok every time, but am quietly delighted with progress of the unmentionables.

Shhh! Just thinking about them can send them weeping to the rail!

Hopefully you're not secretly rooting for Sunny Chattha, because he is long gone. I didn't see him go, but Julian Thew called me over "because this needs to be made public". It seems he moved in with pocket Sevens on a 9-9-4 flop and found a caller in Joe Grech holding A-4, but a King on the turn and another on the river counterfeited Sunny out of what was rightfully, statistically-likely-ly his. Ouch.




Better luck those who have been secretly rooting for Stephen Basri, as he's just doubled up courtesy of Sasha ROsewood in the old painful-for-guy-with-Kings Aces versus Kings confrontation. Aces hit a set on the river for good measure, a metaphorical final finger up at Rosewood's Kings.

Mr C Bunton, who has awesome hairdo that sadly didn't come out in the photo I took but am now withholding, min-raised utg only for Dave Clark to shove for 15k. Bunton folded fairly sharply. I think I saw a Deuce as he folded...

Not sure exactly what happened. I think what happened was that Mark Bointon shoved and Conan Bailey called. The reason I'm not sure is that Bointon had Aces and Conan (CONAN!!!!) had A-J. He was giggling a lot as he made his fairly predictable exit, so possibly that's exactly what happened. Sorry, Conan fans. It's barbaric, really.

CONAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
