Donal Norton's stack has taken a few dents... but he's not prepared, it looks like, to sit and dwindle.  At the end of the last level, he was seen to re-raise preflop, and when his opponent passed nonchalantly flip the (suits imagined, but definitely off).  "Heyyyyy" drawl his supporters from the rail.  More recently, it's Tim Blake winning a few pots, to much less drowsy cheering.

Big stacks kick off!!!!

I join the table on a flop contested by two of the larger stacks, Pete Linton and Tim Blake...

Check from Pete, bet by Tim of 50k or so...CALL by Pete...

TURN:

Check Pete, check Tim...

RIVER:

Pete now picks up what looks like about 100k in chips and bets it and Tim flat calls his bet after a small pause...

Pete shows A-K confident that his 2 pair value bet is ahead BUT Tim shows K-Q for a superior 2 pair, sweeping up the pot to much applause whilst Pete shakes his head a little disappointedly and licks his wounds disconsolately...



The Tim-inator...

If you are texting Hazel can you pass on  my best wishes.

I counted the chips after that big pot that Pete Linton lost to Tim, by the way - just to clarify, he has 470k after that.

...And another one bites the tournament dust, this time Andrew Grimason.

Blind-on-blind action, Grimason shoved with 8-3 and Kai Paulsen found Fives to make Andrew Grim.

Hassan Mohammed is out, running into Carsten Joh's Aces.

An eight came on the flop, but to no avail. 11 players left.

Carsten John just had John Keown ALLIN on the feature table...

John Keown
Carsten John

John was in bad shape with his tournament life on the line but Carsten's strong advantage was utterly reversed by a flop-tastic, flush-tastic and pair-tastic flop

Pair and flush draw for John left Carsten drawing thin and a pair of blanks on the turn and river completed the outdraw, doubling John up crucially to some lusty bellows from the enthusiastic rai!!!!

[danafish]

Mmm, I have a bread roll I stole from dinner.

RAILER OF THE DAY

Dana, "The pattern on the hoody looks like he nicked a logo from a health club or something..."

Sadly, Pete Linton is out, 5-handed, he pushed for about 350k from under the gun, Tim Blake asked for a count, before passing. Edwin Tournier snap-calls and shows Queens. Pete is in hot-water with Q-J.

A A-T-A-4-3 board later and Pete is OUT in 11th place winning €32,500. Which seems scant consolation at the moment for him.

Tim Blake says afterwards that he passed Tens!

[danafish]

Carsten John raises to 82k preflop, called by Neil Channing on the button.

The flop comes T-8-x where x might have been a Queen... sorry for lack of this card, but it only got interesting when Carsten check-raised Neil's 90k bet on the flop up to 240k...  A brief pause, and Neil moved all in!  Covering his opponent, he then caused Carsten to pause a bit longer as he debated calling for his tournament life...

Carsten passed, and another quarter mil plus headed for the Joker's stack - which might well now be the chip leader's...
