Hello, please can I have an update on how Paul 'the lemon' Murrell is doing please?

Yup, I'll go have a look...

Hows Dubai getting on? I am sure he will have had an early night last night and wont have been on the sauce

Dubai is looking a little the worse for wear and was recently involved in a bit of a dispute with Joe Grech. Apparently Joe took a while to call a large Dubai bet holding trip deuces, and Dubai was somewhat miffed at what he felt was a slowroll.

He soon perked up though, raising on the button on Chris Sokrati's big blind. Chris found 9-9 and decided this had to be good versus a Dubai raise on the button and shoved his chips in.

Sadly for him, Dubai had a genuine hand for once in A-A and once he insta-called, Chris couldn't spike the 9 he needed to remain in contention, meaning Soxy has joined the rail. "That's as much of a coldeck as Kings into Aces versus Dubai!" bemoaned Chris with some justification.


Tony Mackay is also one of the early casualties, and Dave Clarke adn blondeite Alex Martin are also early casualties. I'll try and ascertain some details of these hands in due course....


Jen is prospering though. She has just taken a healthy chunk in the region of 25k off Roberts Cowan, one of the overnight chip leaders.  With 6-6 on a 7-8-9-2-2 board, Jen called all the way, including what was perhaps the toughest call on the river, but her baconhair-fuelled bravery was rewarded as Cowans showed her Q-T for a missed straight draw, meaning Jen is now 65-70k and well in contention with the leaders.


The cowboy Dana has been fantasising about all morning, Wayne Rideout, has hightailed it off into the sunset, losing a crucial coinflip and a fistful of dollars to Karim  Louis somewhat brutally.

Holding A-Q vs Karim's 2-2, the flop was good for him, coming x-Q-x-, the turn x wasn't bad for him.....BUT the river 2 was as UGLY as it gets, meaning Karim had rivered a 2 out for a set cruelly ending "John" Wayne Rideout's tournament/

Stuart Rutter, who has worked tirelessly to remove the indelible association he has with scarfs this week, by failing to be spotted in one all week, despite the cold and rain, is also sadly out.

He shoved on the button with A-K, only to find a hero caller with T-8 and the flop came Q-Q-5-5...T!

Another cruel river consigns one more player to the rail and Stuart looked a bit glum as I spoke to him about his exit. He's been a great laugh whilst he's been in the tournament though and we all know he'll be back soon...

Can you wish the chip leader good luck from me, I fully intend to nip him, although please leave out the latter part.

[kinghawko]

Just had a text from dubai, he is on 90k but has lost so many big pots....

[little DC]

Hi guys any news on dave clark would be grateful

[danafish]

I'm afraid that Paul Murrell is OUT, and no-one seems to know what happened. Perhaps if anyone speaks to him they can fill us in...

Also OUT is Efty Neocleous, who made a pretty 'Efty all-in raise with pocket Sixes and ran them into Karim Louis' pocket Kings. No Six on the board, although Efty remained vocally convinced it was coming until the very end, and he's gone now.

Similarly OUT is James Sudworth who tried it on with on a flop but got himself called by Robert Cowen's . The turn and river were and , so please insert your own Sudworth/suds/flushing joke here, and know that he is gone.

No.

How about the winner of the comp? Wish them good luck from me please, or at least let them know that I was supporting them.

A couple of quick text updates for you:

Dan Carter is up to 56k, James Atkin has gone 78k > 40k > 78k again.

Pete Singleton is out.

[danafish]

Nik Persaud has doubled up with A-J against Clive Layton's A-7, the board coming down Q-Q-6-3-9.

"Can you take a picture of me without the NHS specs?" enquires Nik. "Yes, ok," say I, "The last picture I took of you was so terrible I owe you a good photo."

Well you may be able to nip her from the comfort of your shared abode, since Jen Mason has moved up toward the chip lead, with now over 100k! She has an odd maniacal devil-may-care look in her eye which suggests she could easily donk them all away OR destroy the tournament. We're all hoping it's the latter obviously but she's just started drinking some Dr Pepper...




Another blondite, in fact THE ONE-OFF ORIGINAL, Dave Colclough has prospered early today and was just seen re-raising to 14,600 on the button, following a raise to 4,600 from James Reid in the cut-off.

James thought for ages, needling Dave to get some information out of him, but the strong-willed, non-peroxide requiring Colclough refused to crack under the glaring lights of Reid's interrogation and ultimately Reid let go.

Dave flipped over a solitary as he re-stacked his newly acquired chips...


Julian Thew appears to have been relatively quiet in the early stages and is slowly going along without yo-yoing too much. I doubt this will last tooo long though. We know Julian likes to get involved and he'll be diving in soon I fancy...

[danafish]

Ian Holman has made his exit, moving all in on the river of a board. After much dwelling, James Reid calls.

Ian Holman -

James Reid - for a pretty awesome call.

Says tablemate Dave Colclough: "He plays pretty well, for a fish."
