Hows Patrick Murray  aka Micky Pierce doing?
Can you wish him luck from me please.
thanks
Craig

Not great I'm afraid...

I joined his table as he was on 8.5 or 9k.

James Honeybone had raised to 1200, flat called in one spot and Mickey popped it up to 3,500.

James thought about it and MOVED ALLIN!

The cold caller passed and Mickey thought about it and also passed, leaving himself just 5.5k or so.

Here he is with Albert "HoneyMonster" Sapiano, who found the developments of that hand far more amusing than Mickey did, for obvious reasons...

Players are on a short break.

Jen informs me that she's going back to the room to look at the internet from the comfort of her pyjamas. I am fairly certain she will post soonish.

Roland De Wolfe is on around 40k, but says he could have been on 75k - he raised with A-Q and then folded to a 22k shove from Mateyboy. Mateyboy was holding A-T.

Re: Billy Johnstone, Juan Fernandez, Raul Paez

I'm afraid that a number of circuits of the room later, I still can't see any of them. It is admittedly a bit difficult to find people I've never seen before in a giant room full of poker players, but I studied the photos pretty hard, so until hard evidence proves to the contrary, I'm assuming they're OUT...

We are now playing Level 7 - 200/400/25. Floppy's going to sort us out a new clock structure asap...

[danafish]

Oh no, hang on, our clock's right for this level. Still, we will present you tomorrow with a brand new reliable clock, which i'm sure will fill you with joy.

Sorting it now, the internet in the room is buckling under the weight of I'm guessing online players needing a fix...

Report have arrived that Nick Gibson is OUT!

Bad luck Nick.

Roberto Romanello is looking a bit short. Doesn't have many chips either. 

He told he the sad story, which went something like this:

He raised Mateyboy's blinds with 3-2. Mateyblind re-raises all in, and Roberto folds, showing his rubbish hand.

An hour later, he raised Mateyblind with Queens, and Mateyblind again re-raised all in, this time with K-T. King hit, obviously. ROberto dropped 15k on that one, and is down to around 7k.

At this point Joe Grech, who hadn't been listening to any of this, piped up, "Whatever he just told you is completely true." And laughed hysterically.

Here he is, in a cardigan that Jen would be proud of:

Maria Maceiras is now sharing a table with Dave Colclough. She is on 15k. He is on a little over 30k. Here they are, the both of them, Colclough looking unusually fey:

Oh joy! Trond Eidsvig has been re-seated next to Rory Matthews, giving me another excuse to post his photo.

Rory Matthews - 15k
Trond Eidsvig - 25k
By the by Mr Doyle Brunson has 19k

Disaster for Ram Vaswani!

Not sure what happened, but I saw him making his exit with A-9 against Ergun Macit's Q-K, with a board that read Q-7-9-8-Q.

And with a Ram, bam, thank-you ma'am (actually a "Good luck, guys" and a resigned sigh), he's gone, leaving Mr Macit probably feeling pretty Va-smarmy about it.
