David Rudling makes up the blinds and Fran Egan checks. They both check the
flop, and then Rudling checks the
turn. Fran bets 35k, and Rudling check-raises him all in! Fran dwells for a good long while before calling the clock on himself and folding. He declares, "You're my nemesis." Says Dan Samson, "I think the term is 'bitch', actually."

And then there were 9!
Dan Samson limps in on Marius' big blind. Marius pops it up to 100k, only to find Dan now re-raising allin!
"I guess I have to call now" Marius said and without too much enthusiasm called off his stack...
Dan - a craftily played pair of ladies Q-Q
Marius - a dominated but still in there with a shout A-5.
FLOP:
No Ace for Marius, and as Dan had him covered that means he is out on the final table bubble, and we are down to our final 9 competitors! Snoops is in the card room now catching all the thrills and spills.
Here is Marius and his floppy hair, being warmly congratulated by Jon Raab for his performance.
and Dan Samson racking up his newly acquired booty.

Early play has been cagey, with basically everyone stealing the blinds in turn. More updates soon as anything happens.
By the way if you'd like bios/more photos of our finalists, please click on their underlined names for their blondepedia entries (I think for some reason Ketul may be listed as Ketu Nathwani). Only one who doesn't at least have a page on blondepedia is Fran Egan - can anyone tell us anything about him (except that he really wants a f***ing pint)?

Closest Thing To Action To Happen So Far:
Colin Kennedy makes it 75k and everyone folds except for Steve Jelinek, who goes all in. Kennedy dwells for a while, but passes.
UPDATER UPDATE - In the Bad Beat Of The Day, Snoopy has only just noticed a PM that Floppy apparently sent him yesterday saying he could have the day off today, but he only just got it and he's here now, full of we-didn't-get-enough-sleep sadness. UL, Beagle.

Junglecat just called me to say that nothing had happened, but that chip leader Ketul was predictably being the most raisey player on the table, also re-raising David Rudling, who is probably the next most aggressive player.
Then he called me back 2 minutes later to say that something had actually happened! Fran Egan raised from the button, leaving himself around 80k behind. Tony Phillips flat-called from the small blind.
Flop -
and Tony moves all in. After a medium-sized dwell, Fran calls.
Fran - A-Q
Tony - 6-6
Turn -
River -
Double-up for the thirsty Irishman!

fran is from Drogheda in Ireland, qualified online on Green Joker poker.
he recently was involved in a chop in the main event in the deepstack champs in his home town, where he took home 28k
best of luck to him today.
Thank you very much, sir. The little yellow man tips his hat to you.

Bold Bluffing From Plucky Irishman:
Chili makes up the blinds and Fran checks. They see a flop, obviously.
That flop is
Chili bets 30k, Fran raises to 80k. Maria passes, and Fran shows

Junglecat says: Ketul is still owning the table in terms of preflop raising and whatnot. So far no-one's stood up to him so he's getting away with it, but things can change at any moment.
Translation: not much is happening at the moment.

The Ketul domination continues.
Tony Phillips raises preflop and Ketul calls.
They see a flop, it is exactly
and Tony bets 90k. Ketul goes all in! And Tony passes.
------------
But there is fighting back!
Next hand Ketul makes it 51k from late-ish position, only for Dan Samson to make it 160k from the cut-off. Ketul passes.

Steve Jelinek has dropped 120k in two hands - he's down to around 340k.
First he standard-raises, only to have to lay it down when Lloyd Rees moves in from the blind. Down one chunk.
Then the next hand he bets 55k, and is called by Fran Egan on the button. They see a flop - it is
- and Jelinek checks. Fran Egan announces all in, but he also does that checky-fingery thing and the dealer almost deals the turn by accident. Laughs Steve, "Bit if a difference," and passes Pocket Eights face up. Down two chunks.

Mmm, we ate falafel panini with crisps, most unusual bread-falafel-garnish combo but totally tasty.
Play is due to re-start any minute, Junglecat is in the card room now...

HUUUUUGE HANDWATCH
Ketul makes it 51k, and Tony Phillips snaps - he moves all in for around 400k. Ketul thinks about it for a while. And calls!
Ketul - Pocket Nines
Tony Phillips - er,
Board - BANG -
[Tenuous pun warning] And a very lucky double-up for a Phillips whose head may not have been screwed on right.
