Tony Baitson is the latest elimination from this evenings play. Defending champion and founder of team Flushdraw held

The BB checks and Baitson bets 2200. The BB then moves in for 17,000 approx and Baitson calls.

The turn brings a  ending the day for the defending champ who's since gone to the bar.

Unlike He-Man, Butch Power didn't have the power, as he's been spotted at the bar, which is another word for rail.

We have our first complete team elimination with all four members of the Burke team now OUT. There is now 11 teams left with their full capacity of four players as we enter the break. There will be two more levels played tonight

Players are just coming to the end of a 20 minute break. There is about 2 minutes and 4 seconds before play recommences.

Some good fortune for one Mr David Brown, a nice Jacks verus Tens coo on a J-4-T Flop seeing his chip stack double. Mr Tens' shoulders dropped so low that he scraped his knuckles on the floor.

Neill Kelly on the microphone: "Thomas Nolan is now sponsored by Heineken. The Bomber is the first player to ever ask me if he was on the final the night before." 

[snoopy1239]

Not too much interaction from our many viewers tonight. I can only assume that it's because you simply don't want to interrupt us, much like you wouldn't interrupt Van Gogh if he was painting the Sunflowers. But please, feel free to disrupt our masterpiece whenever you have the urge.

Yes indeed, especially as you paid us a compliment. 

To start off with, here is Paul Smallwood, his 47k forest of chips far from small.

the masterpiece will be perfect as soon as we get a food post/ review i.e like that award winning dinner report on the last visit to Waterford.

p.s any updates on Team Richie "fish with chips" Lawlor, Mick " one gear " Doran and Loran "milkybar kid " Dooley.

or Team  BOPS  

also wasthere a last longer bet between bops and Richie

James Kenny (13,775) - not a figure you'd like to pass in a dark alley.

We have a new chip leader in the tournament in the form of Colm Reville. Having usurped Flipper's chip lead in a big coup, Nicky Power claims that Flipper's demise is every bit as dramatic as an Andy Black style blow up. Having gone from 90,000 to 10,000 in the space of 3 levels it would be hard to question the Power's judgement.

On a board of  

Colm Reville pushed all-in on the turn sparking a long dwell up from sir flipness. Then, suddenly, Flipper flung his chips into the pot like a man on a mission. In reality though it was a kamakaze mission for Walsh who was dominated.

Reville

Plenty of outs to the river for Flipper but unfortunatly for him the   was no use.

Needless to say Colm is now the one revilling with his 71,000 strong chip lead stack

I've set McLovin's sights on Team Fish & Chips. In the meantime, I can reveal that the buffet was a rather simple affair, just sandwiches and soup. Nevertheless, it was more than satisfactory, but at the same time, we're immensely relieved that we consumed a beef lasagne before arriving today. Yum, I was like Garfield after a year's fasting.

[snoopy1239]

He's got on his serious, reserved face here, but Damien Kent is quite the character, and him and Thomas Nolan are certainly making that table a lively one. Not sure how long Damien's going to be around for though as he's struggling with 12,050.

Thomas 'The Bomber' Nolan is like a bowling ball going for it's hattrick of strikes, first doubling up to 5k, before his K-9 spiked a nine against A-Q to take him up to a nose-bleed inducing 11k. The bar manager was rooting for The Bomber for some reason.
