A massive pot has developed preflop so I stroll over to Jeremy Longley's table just in time to see him throw the rest of his chips in on a flop. Anthony Phillips instacalls, as he has...

Phillips -
Longley -

Turn -
River -

No flush for Mr Longley and he is therefore OUT in 29th place. Quoth he: "How many times do want Aces today?!"

With Simon Wickenden limping for 6k in early position, Maria takes the opportunity to raise it up from the button to 15,075. Ketul Nathwani calls from the small blinds and Simon folds, although after much deliberation.

Flop =

Nathwani checks, Maria bets 22k and Nathwani calls.

Turn =

Nathwani checks again, leading to another bet from 70k.

Nathwani asks for a chip count (which is in the region of 100k) before finally folding.

Spot no. 28 is now the property of Mr Thomas Dunwoodie, who shoved with Sixes, right into the grateful claws of Stewart Clutterbuck's Aces.

Says Mr Dunwoodie, laughing: "Well, I got Sixes cracked by Aces. That's not too bad, really."

"Someone stole 5,200 off me the other day, Snoops, did I tell you that?" comments Steve.

"No, what happened?" I inquired eagerly, my Beagle ears keen to hear something controversial.

"This guy asked me how much I had left on the River and I said 5,200. He then said, 'okay, 5,200' and I quickly announced 'call' and shoved my chips across the line. He then said that he hadn't bet and the was only saying it. The ruling in the end was that I had acted out of turn and was forced to take my 5,200 back."

It's just one side of the story, but judging by the aforementioned, should Steve Jelinek have been paid that 5,200 or was the other player within his rights to claim that he wasn't actually making a bet?

Alessandro Meoni makes it 15k, and his hands clamp over his face. They stay there for a long time. Eventually he risks it - he takes a peek between his fingers. But Stewart Clutterbuck is still wondering whether to call. Meoni's hands clamp back on to his face.

Eventually he calls, and Meoni has to remove at least one hand in order to see the flop, and then shove. Hands return to face. Clutterbuck asks for a count (I think it's around 80k), but eventually folds. Finally Meoni's hands can be at rest...

Interesting hand developed between Johnathan Martin and John Conroy.

Johnathan Martin limped UTG, and when it came round to Conroy in the SB, he raised, and found the big  blind passing. He hadn't noticed Martin's limp so exposed his cards to the BB, showing a pair of cowboys.

As Martin hadn't acted yet, the TD was called over to make a ruling.

Martin doesn't have to call the raise, but can play out the hand and Conroy can't bet throughout, was the result.

So Conroy was forced to sit there patiently and just watch to see if his kings got outdrawn.

The players saw a flop of .

"More cards please!" said Martin

TURN: 

"Hit me!"

RIVER:

Martin gave up at this point.."I check, it's all yours"

Conroy was livid with himself at flipping his cards. "After a stupid mistake like that, I'm gonna go one and win this tournament" was his promise to the table...


Things seem to be a little cautious at the moment, as if everyone is aware that one mistake could spell the end of their tournament so close to the final.  Jen Mason tried to take advantage of the reticence of the other players, raising to 16k, but was met by an allin behind her.

She shrugged and threw her hand away relatively quickly, but it was 16k she could ill afford to lose as she is still pretty short. Like this man though...

You gotta have faith.


Leo Kam has about 90k at the moment, and is also close to the brink. One double up though and everything
changes...

[snoopy1239]

With the aggressive Tony Phillips raising it up to 24,000, Chris Rhodes looking down at , deemed this to be the perfect opportunity to double up, and pushed all-in for a total of 56,000. Tony made the near obligatory call with . However, the Poker Gods are a cruel bunch, and a somewhat clinical Flop had them cackling manically from their clouds leaving poor Chris to take the high Rhode.

Chris was reflective in defeat. "Ah, never mind, I qualified through a satellite, so it's all profit."
