Could you wish Joe Grech good luck from his favourite Beagle please. Make sure he knows that I've been supporting him the whole time, through the bad times and the good.

No nipping! Bad beagle! Go do some work! 

But I just can't help myself, he's got so many chips!

Thief!

Meanwhile there is some confusion - I thought the guy below was Lam Trinh, and he exited as I reported earlier. However, Jon Raab is convinced that Lam Trinh just didn't show up today and has been blinded away for the past few hours. Can anyone confirm this cahp's identity one way or the other?

Aha, I've outsmarted them, behold the stolen manic nipping crab smilie.

Great updates guys....good to see (i think because Ive seen him around) a Brighton player still in the hunt in the form of Roberts cowan....

Just a quick question for the Jungle Cat.....did u manage to get the turtle back from the neighbours balcony as a result of another flushy blunder?

I know how much that fluffy little dude meant to you!

The turtle was used as a pawn in the never ending power struggle between myself and flushy. An innocent casualty of war, he was captured by our neighbour and an unsuccessful SAS operation to recover him (involving dangling a piece of rope over the edge of our balcony) failed, meaning he is missing, presumed dead.

Flushy is a moron, it neverends, but I must move on. Thanks for the concern though!


As soon as I express how well I feel Jen is doing, she loses a mega pot where she passes top 2 with A-K on a K-x-T-A turn.

It's an interesting hand, I'm not quite sure who it was played against but it involved Jen raising preflop then betting out with her A-K on the K-x-T board. She was check raised by villain, before making a VERY large 3 bet, which was flat called...

On the arrival of the turn A, villain moved in for his, and also her CONSIDERABLE stack and she passed...Interesting, she felt like he had a set/ straight here. I'm not 100% sure I agree....what do you guys think?

Yep the pictured player is indeed Gutshot's own (Dealer) Stevie Z, who final tabled at the London Poker Masters at the Clerkenwell Club a few weeks ago

Steve Jelinek is doing well, winning a big pot when he made a greata call on the river of a with 5-2, which was good against Ian Woodley's bluff with Q-T. "How could you call?" lamented Woodley...

Jen was also in this hand but was sandwiched on the river and passed a 9 to Ian's bet, fearing Jelinek waiting to act behind. She looked quite gutted after this hand and after finding herself with 100k+ earlier, she now was down to 40k or so...


Jelinek followed up this coup with a 10K bet on the turn of a T-8-7-T board, and a 15k bet on the A river which was called, but his opponent mucked quickly as Steve showed a sparkling set of snowmen with 8-8...

Baconhair-Jen's play may have been slightly streaky so far but her feeling of malaise was swiftly cured however as she found the now relatively short stacked Ian Woodley raising in late position.

Jen looked down to find a manly pair of cowboys staring back at her and moved allin. The pot committed Ian Woodley called, showing the limp but not yet done A-6.

The board filled up with a series of inconsequential cards that changed nothing meaning Jen receives a healthy boost to her stack whilst the inimitable and loud but not unpleasant Ian Woodley is OUT!

Never one to give an opponent the rub-down, there were no rind-ups from Jen for Ian(despite the fact he mocked her for "just being a girl" earlier) , but a quick shake of the hands and Jen was almost back to having a pig stack again...

Excellent, thanks everyone who knew that, apologies for saying he was Trinh. Does anyone know where Trinh is? I think he has about 3k left if he fancies it...

That sounds like it might have been the best that she could hope for....

Mick Fletcher button-raises to 6k; apparently no-one takes him seriously as both SB James Atkin and BB Karim Louis call. However, they both check the  Raiser's Flop, and give it up when Fletcher bets 8k, Louis folding pocket Fives face up. "That's the last time I give you chips," vows Atkin. Fletcher is not afraid.



Incidentally I understand that Mick's recently taken a 15k hit, although I don't know the details.

Seemed comfortable last I was down there, if not actually one of the big stacks. But he's feeling cool. Very cool.

Julian's slow start has soon been reversed.

A couple of key hands include one where he knocked out the very short Neil Fox (incidentally a well known Brighton local player - not the chubby capital one ) in a 4-4 v K-J match up...

Not long after, the aggressive Dave Shallow raised it up from middle position and Julian re-raised from the big blind. Dave instantly moved in and Julian instantly called,.

Dubai was holding A-10, Julian a spiffing pair of Kings, which duly held, plummenting Julian up towards the higher echelons of the leaderboard whilst Dubai, who has had a difficult first period of Day 2 has seen his stack reduced yet again...

By the way, the gent to whom Jen earlier lost that massive hand is this guy, one Talal Shakerchi:

Both yesterday and today he made bold statements with his choice of polo shirts. I don't know if that helps you read anything into what his hand might have been.
