Jan Lundberg limps in from mid-position, and Jerome button-raises. The blinds pass, and Lundberg re-raises. Jerome folds pretty swiftly. He rolls his eyes at me and giggles.
And disaster for the start-of-day-2 chip leader! Just moments later he is all in on a 3-Q-9 flop and called by Steve Townsend, and oh the pain! Jerome has Q-3 and Townsend is holding a nutsy Q-Q. King and Ace on the turn and river, and with a noise that sounds a lot like "oh no!" Mr Bradpiece is OUT.
--------- 40 minute dinner break ---------
Maybe M&S is still open.

James Keys just played out a big pot.
Raising to 7k from MP, he was re-raised an additional 21k by Ketul Nathwani.
He thought for a bit then moved all the rest of his stack, c 85k into the middle and Nathwani quickly called.
Q-Q for Nathwani
A-J for Keys.
No Ace transpired meaning Keys is OUT whilst Ketul is coming to the boil nicely.

As I headed down to the cardroom I was stopped in my tracks by the sight of
Willie
Tann
looking more than a little glum on the rail. Willie didn't seem in the mood for a chat so I decided to leave it. However, the combination of empty seat and bulldog/wasp expression was a strong indicator that he was out.
------------
Also spotted making an early post-dinner exit was
Mark
Friedman
. I was only able to catch him racing towards the door, but,
Brian
Wilson
was happy to fill me in: "He had Sevens, I had A-8, 8 on the Flop, I checked, he pushed all-in and I called."
------------
As we approach the money, the tension has clearly become more cuttable with players taking longer on their decisions, remaining focused at all times, and refraining from involving themselves in the banter that was so prevalent earlier on. One man who can draw another breath is Piers Whyman. He was all-in with
against Fabio Esposito's
but somehow managed to survive a frightful
board, the paired Turn bringing an extra six outs.
-----------
Fabio Esposito is now out, pushed in with Threes, came up against a bigger pair.

Hey Dana - do you know how many places get paid? Any idea of current chip counts. Thanks
Yes! 32 get paid, 38 left. Just posted chip counts from the last break; last I saw, Jen had somehow boosted her stack to around 150k...
Any others, please go right and request, folks...

Here's a fun hand:
Short-shortstack Alessandro Meoni is all in preflop against Norwegian Marius Hogtun.
Meoni -
Hogtun -
Board -
(OOOH! shouts everyone)
(Meoni is tapping the table and standing up)
(he's really going to leave)
Double-up!

Jen
Mason
is back down to 60k. Judging from the positions, I can only assume that she'd opened the action with Eights, only for
John
Conroy
to push over the top with K-Qo.
The T-A-J Flop wasn't a bad one for the Rockstar, and even though the Lady on the Turn gave Mrs Merton a glimmer of hope for a split pot, it failed to emerge on the Deuce River.
John now back up to crica 70 or 80k.
-----------
William Chan is now OUT. He pushed his shortstack in with J-7o, but got caught red handed by Lloyd Rees' K-Qo. T-3-Q-4 board meant the 7 on the River was academic.
A few seats down, Colin Kennedy is still battling away, his stack having crept up to the 80k mark.
------------
Apologies for any non-descript posts, but the hands are coming in quick and fast, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Helping maintain the pace is Dave Colclough. After doubling through earlier on when his Pocket Sevens hit a set against Pocket Queens, the blonde one has been at it again, this time making a flush with
against Brian Johnson's
after pushing for 36.1k on the Flop of a
board. Could DC be the next double GUKPT winner?...

Anthony Philips just played out a pot with Yilfer Shevket.
On a board of two spades , Yilfer had made a big bet and Anthony was deliberating his options before finally deciding to fold.
The moustachio'd Shevket showed A-Q, which led Anthony to get a little hot under the collar. "I KNEW you'd hit a 3 outer on me!" he told Yilfer, who seemed a little disbelieving.
"So you had AK? you didn't have AK you'd have called!"
"Tell me what I was beating?? Tell me!"
Conversation slowed to a trickle at this point, as Yilfer added to his stack whilst Anthony privately let off steam in his own way.
Ok quick reminder of the payout structure as we approach the bubble.
1st £119,780
2nd £69,960
3rd £50,880
4th £33,920
5th £26,500
6th £20,140
7th £15,900
8th £12,720
9th £9,540
10th £6,360
11th-13th £4,240
14th -18th £3,180
19th-32nd £2,120

On a board of two spades , Tony Phillips check raises Brian Johnson's 20k bet to 50k. "Can I have a count?" asks Brian, to which the response is a very precise 59,700. Brian calls and throws in the extra 30k.
Before the River has barely hit the felt, Tony is pushing in his chips quicker than a jet-propelled cheetah only to be called, after a quick, pensive rub of the head, by Brian.
"House," declares Tony abruptly before any cards have been revealed. Brian exhales dejectedly as Tony shows . Another quick glance to confirm, and it's all over for Brian, Tony having his man well covered. As he departs, he lays a battered and bruised across the surface of the felt, leaving Tony, a real dangerman at this point in time, to stack up his newly acquired monster stack.
ps. I by no means condone the use of drugs. Listen to the Grange Hillers kids, just say no!

updates for fran egan please
Mr Egan has just had a bubble-time hand-for-hand DOUBLE-UP, courtesy of our bouffant-y friend Mr Davood Mehrmand. All in on a J-K-Q flop, Fran was holding the absolute nuts with A-T, and Davood was holding the never-getting-away-from-that-one-really Q-K. Turn and river respectively - Ten and Eight.

Also enjoying a bubble-time double-up, Mr Darren "Aussie Millions" Pearce. All in on a Q-7-A flop,
Leo
Kam
pretty understandably can't get away from his set of Sevens, but Pearce is holding a set of Queens. Woooos for Darren, and ouches for Leo.
-----------
Keir Fitzgibbon isn't monkeying around any more, he just made his move with A-T but ran into the Pocket Cowboys of Leo Kam. Unfortunately for the Canadian, two Aces hit the board leaving him with a depleted 115k stack.

with 33 left and 32 players due to receive monetary compensation for their efforts, you know, we know, everyone knows what time it is.
It's

time guys!
Hand for hand, who would be the unlucky fella on the bubble. Well, it didn't take long to find out.
Ian
Cox
and
Yilfer
Shevket
managed to get their stacks in preflop, Ian holding A-Q and Yilfer pocket Tens. Let's flip em folks...
Sadly for Ian a ten on the flop pretty much sealed the pot for Yilfer, who had Ian covered meaning Mr Final Table himself, the superbly consistent
Ian
Cox
had come up short for once and was our unlucky bubbling 33rd placed finisher. Bad luck Ian.

Joe
Grech
is OUT in 30th. Nasty for one for the veteran. A-K vs. A-Q, Queen on the Flop. This means Jen is my remaining pick. Go Jen! Sry, unbiased hat back on. Go everyone!...
especially Jen.
Also gone is Helge Stjernvang, who departed just a few hands prior.

Jen is suffering a bit, holding a short stack she has been having to push allin at regular intervals, which explains her growing tower of grey 100 chips. "My stack looks like a lot....but it's not!" she told me laughing in a giggly, "Oh well, hope I can get lucky!" kind of way. Fingers crossed.

Yep Chili's doing great and we're loving it.
Jen too has just taken a step in the right direction, doubling her short stack up courtesy of a J-J v A-K flip scenario. She should be in the region of 90k now. Go Jen!
