Also OUT is Carmel Dunne, in the cruellest of circumstances. All in preflop, caller Nick Goodall flips over  . "Jacks?" asks someone at the table, but Carmel turns over the mighty .

Flop - and someone says "He's drawing dead."

And no sooner said than bokked -

River -

Poor old Carmel.

Sharing a table, Messrs John Conroy (60k) and Thomas Fougeron (40k)
Sharing a different table, Messrs Level 13 Rumit (110k) and Soren Jensen (60k)

On the feature table, Collette Murphy just pushed her shortstack in for the umpteenth time (well about 5th) and AT LAST someone found a hand to call her...Padraig Parkinson calling with A-Q, which was obviously good against her range, and in fact her specific hand... T-J.


The flop came Q-5-K to give hope to both players but a turn and river failed to provide Collette with her required straight, meaning Parkinson adds to his bulging stack and the tournament becomes a smurf-free zone.



Good game Collette.

A disgruntled Mr Fran Egan doubled up a delighted Javed Abrahams.

Conor Tate has knocked out Visor Man Dan Alspach on the TV table, calling him with A-J, Dan holding Pocket Eights.

Board - Q-A-4-9-4

By the way as I was typing that up, Junglecat starting laughing hysterically at me. Apparently he was sort of squinting at my screen, and where I had written "Conor Tate has knocked out Visor Man Dan Alspach", he thought I had written "Conor 'Take my knickers out' something something". Do you see the damage you have done with your constant norkage demands? He's ruined!

[NoflopsHomer]

Explosive Action!!

John Kabbaj sits down and raises to 5.5k the first hand he plays. two seats down the line, Sorrel Mizzi re-raises to 16.2k. Passed back to Kabbaj who thinks for a minute and then says, "Raise," he puts out the 30k, but no sooner has he done that then Sorrel has announced all-in. Kabbaj shrugs his shoulders and says, "Call." He turns over . Sorrel shows



They count down Kabbaj's chips and he has 79.6k before the hand, so now he's over 160k and vying with Pete Linton for the chip lead. Sorrel knocked down to betweem 40k and 50k.



(Note poor old James Honeybone upset at the sheer sickness of it all. Or maybe he's just tired.)

[danafish]

count on Abel Meijberg? the purple shirt guy from JJ hand not too long ago

Either around 120k or 135k, depending on the denomination of the one stack in the middle of his group of stacks that I can't see. Plenty, anyway.

[JungleCat03]

Nick Goodall just won UBER  -POT versus Daniel Bolton.

Holding J-J, he called for most of his stack, and was rewarded to find he wasn't dominated but marginally ahead of Dan's A-Q...

A board ensued and Dan Bolton's unsuccessful flip attempts mean he joins the rail, and Nick Goodhall...



knocks out Dan Bolton...



and wins LOADSA CHIPS...mmmmmmmm!!!

[danafish]

Eric Larcheveque - around 70k

Tony Collins is OUT, on the TV table.
