Chris is coming along with some pictures and updates on the brit requests in a moment.

For now it's time for a dinner update...

First Course -

Choose from:-

A selection of Hams , salads, bread and cheeses

A chickpea and seafood mix.

A baby tomato and mozarella salad, tossed in olive oil and vinegar

A prawn platter.

Pasta and tomato sauce


OK I plumped for the hams salads bread cheese baby tomato and mozarella salad and prawn platter.

- Yawn the camera adds 10 pounds. yes there's 23 cameras on me etc etc etc.

Anyway it was very nice, all the food was fresh and tasty and filling. No complaints and Chris and Benjo were both offering to marry the pasta so I guess either that was good or I spent dinner with a couple of freaks.

Dessert!

Now we're talking. I'm not even that partial to desserts but after yesterday's extravaganza I was pumped for some sweetness.

It was Chocolate mousse with large unidentifiable white structure balancing on top(which turned out to be a white chocolate flaked sculpture).

The mouse, sorry mousse was excellent, the velvety chocolate was complimented nicely by the crisp decadence of the chocolate topping. Went down a treat, although perhaps not quite reaching the lofty heights of yesterday's supreme offering.

Still though all in all a great job by the culinary staff. Congrats.

Time for me to go and get some counts and photos so I'll see you in a bit happy people!

On a board, Antonio Estfandiari bets 2,400 and is check/raised to 5,500. After a serious think, he says, "I'm folding a straight to you sir..." he flashes the . His opponent shows him for more quads and then jumps on the tables and pretends to swim in the chips shouting, "Quaaaaadddddddddddssss!"*


*This last part of the statement may or may not be true.

Odd situation for Josh Gould just now. There was a mid position raise to 1,200, flat-called from the button and Josh pumped it up to 4,800 from the big blind. At this point, the dealer raked in all the chips and dealt an flop before the two other players had even thought about calling the re-raise. With the burn card already taken out, the flop was re-shuffled into the pack and action went back on to the original raiser who ended up quickly folding, as did the button. Josh up to 28k.

Arnaud Mattern -- 7k (after having set over set)

Stuart Rutter is surviving at the moment - up to 8.5k which is actually an improvement from earlier...

"I've had lots of interesting hands - had to bluff about 8 times and got away with half of them so I can't tell how well I'm playing."

He tells me he's been taking strategy advice from Reg, his LUCKY CHICKEN.

Here is Reg, available for poker tutoring up to 10/20NL.

You think Lloyd is tough with his advice though, wait till you meet Reg. Looks are deceptive. He takes NO prisoners...







Todd Brunson - back up to 12k, one day he WILL smile when I snap him. Well he'll either smile or smack me.

[NoflopsHomer]

Jan Heitmann and George Danzer fans! Your guys have 36k and 24k respectively. Jan had just doubled up before the break with 8-8 on a J-8-7 board after c/raising all-in and being snapped called by...A-K.

Best wishes to T8mml. Go Tim bring home another BIG 1

[Dewi_cool]

Best wishes to Roberto & update please

Barking mad lunatic Soren Jensen is thinking for ages, shaking his head continually as he systematically flicks one card over another whilst eye-ing up the 5k bet his opponent has put into the pot whilst the board reads . He does this for about a minute, before taking out the 5k and putting into the pot and quickly turning over . His opponent mucks, the fire in Soren's eyes lights up. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a Soren eruption!!

"SOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEN, SOREN KUN SUE ME!!! AYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE SOREN SOREN SOREN!" and temporarily Soren the poker player has been replaced by Soren, the 9th century Viking Beserker, drunk with rage and out to rape and pillage...

Or at least dance around like a kid with his arms aloft, screaming for a minute.

He has over 30k. We have burst eardrums.

[JungleCat03]

Antonio has prospered after his early start, although progress has slowed slightly.

Here he is holding 26k or so with the always impeccably dressed Thomas Kremser looking to pick up i-pod tips off him...




John Kabbaj is going along well on 20k or so.

As I join his table he raises to 1200 from EP and is called in 2 spots.

FLOP

Check from Kabbaj, Mateyboy 1 bets 700, raised to 2,100 by mateyboy 2, JK gets out of the way, Mateyboy 1 calls...

TURN:

CHECK, CHECK

RIVER:

CHECK, Bet of 3.5k, called by Matey 1.

Matey 1 shows T-T which is good versus the busted mighty flush draw of matey 2 .


Here is John, pre-surgery to have a Katja Thatur growth removed from his head, sandwiched between two zombies...
