[Bongo]

Sloping out of the press room I saw some action at Mickey Wernick's table.

Firstly on a flop of   Jon "Skalie" Kalmar bet out 3500, into a pot of around 4500.

Mickey made it 8000 to go and was met with an all in from Skalie.

A short dwell from the legend and he passes to be shown   by skalie.


The very next hand Mark Whitley made it 1200 UTG and was met by an all in for 2900 more by Stephen Nash.

Whitley asks for a count, thinks a while and calls.

The board came  

Nash doubles up.

Dave Colclough just got crippled.

He practically moved all-in over the top of a 2,500 bet from K Bullock on a board. Bullock said, "Do you have a drawing hand?" And eventually called for his stack with .

Dave showed



The turn and river are blanks, doubling Bullock up.

Jeff Buffenbarger has doubled up with K-J against A-A, but I'm not sure whereabout the money went in on the Q-T-2-9-5 board.

Adam Wilkinson is OUT. All-in with against Nick Slade's on a board, the money going in on the flop.

[NoflopsHomer]

best of luck to bassy saffari, chip count please?

Afraid he went out just after the break. No details I'm afraid.

[NoflopsHomer]

Karl Mahrenholz is OUT. QQ into AA.

[Bongo]

Ved Madan is out, I just caught the end of the hand, his QQ no match for  Andrew O'flahertys KQ, due to the matching K on the board.

[Bongo]

Another "just missed" incident occured as I arrived at a table to see  Luke Patten raking in a huge pot!

I think the unlucky victim was Mickey Wernick, whose stack wasn't looking as healthy as it had been previously.

Also spied by me was  Ky Hutchinson moving all in when an ace fell on the river of a previously raggy board. Mad Turk surmised that he must have an ace and eventually passed, only to be shown KJ for nothing but king high!

[NoflopsHomer]

Jim Reid has doubled up his meagre stack courtesy of Jeff Kimber, the nines in his hand holding up versus Jeff's pair of ducks on a K-K-K-A-3 board.

Mark Forrester is OUT. Paul Ruddy's 9-9 beating his 7-7 on a 8-5-5-A-5 board.

Maurice McCarthy, who predicted that he would win this comp at 6.45pm this evening, just bet 3k on the river of a , but got Dominic Kay to fold. McCarthy shows .

All is not grand on the good ship John Shipley, he's shipped his last pot and is now a man overboard.

[Bongo]

On my wanders I saw DC scooping a small pot, nothing major but every little helps!

Also saw a big pot between  Richard Teatum and  Simon Zacharias.

We join the hand as Zacharias had reraised to 2600 preflop, Teatum called and no one else saw the flop of
 

Zacharias bets out 2200 and Teatum made it 8k.

After giving it some theatrics Zacharias moves all in and Teatum instacalls.

Teatum has KT, but Zacharias has AQ for the flopped nuts.

board comes and Zacharias scoops a nice pot!

Teatum looks a little short with around 8000 left.

[Bongo]

I walked past DC's table and noticed his stack looking a bit healthier than before, he then proceded to make a raise preflop so I stood by notepad in hand to get all the details.

He made it 1k preflop and got 2 callers, one of which was in the blinds.

The flop came down and all 3 players checked.

The turn was and Scott Edwards lead out for 1500, DC call and matey boy passes.

River  came down the and Scott leads out for 3000.

After a long think DC folds and Scott can't resist showing the  , which leads DC to turn over  .

[NoflopsHomer]

Jeff Kimber just knocked out the only other big stack, M Choudhary, on his table in a happy occurence of Aces vs Kings, to push him close to 80k, which is the amount that Mad Turk is on. Turk winning a largish pot with 5-4 on a 3-4-6-2-x board.



Paul Gourlay appears to be out.

[Bongo]

I just saw an odd hand unfold between Ray Wire and Matey Boy (who was lacking the id tag that tells us who is who!).

I arrived to see Ray considering a bet of 1100 on the  flop.

Eventually the clock was called and about 30 seconds in Ray decides to make a raise to 4500.

This is where it starts to get a little odd as after a pause for thought matey boy simultaneously moved all in and flipped his cards over.
 

Wire flips his  and there is a bit of confusion as to what happens next as Matey Boy had moved in for 2375 more... most had assumed he was covered and just calling.

Eventually the option is given to Wire to call or fold and after a long think he decides to call.



round out the board and matey boy doubles up.

We've also just started a 15 min break!

[NoflopsHomer]

Nick Slade is OUT. Queens vs Norman Levitt's Ace King.



Pete Singleton has busted James Ballantyne with 6-6 vs K-Q on a J-7-2-5-4 board.

Jim Reid is OUT. A-9 against the growing monster that is Jaffacake who held Jacks.

Finally Barry Grime has had his Aces cracked by Richard Simmon's which connected well with the and caught the flush on the turn.
