Goodwin now close to 100k and chip daddy !

Yep, nasty one here, George raises to 2.3k, Marc makes it 10k more. George shoves and Marc snap calls. George was wondering if he could've just check/folded the flop.

Askild Hansen is smarting still from his exit, there was a raise to 1,800 and Marc Goodwin called before Hansen pushed for 16,000. The original raiser folded and Marc 'snap-called' ("Please make sure you mention he snap-called" said the Norwegian) with K-Q and won the race vs 9-9.

John Morris' rollercoaster has come to an end, from 65k and chip leader in level 2 to OUT. He called all-in board with only to slap bank run into Willie Tann's .

Steve Holden Just won 2 nice pots, firstly he doubled up form 12k to 24k with  v 

AND THEN

Paul Parker raises pre and gets one caller in Steve, Flop comes  Steve open shoves the flop and Paul dwelled but called .... On the backs and Paul has  , but Steve was holding 

Turn 

River 

Giving Steve a straight flush and almost 50k in chips and knocking Paul to the felt.

Ste King looks like he's out. I'll get the Joey count after the break.

Des Jonas just went out with vs .

One other exit I forgot to mention earlier was that of Sunny Chattha, who had his A-Q outdrawn by Tuan Lee's A-J after a brutal T-8-7-9-K board.

Liv Boeree is OUT.

Michael Aherne check/raised all-in for not much more on a board when Alan McLean bet 4k, which Marty Smyth called. McLean instantly folded, but Marty Smyth thought, or at least I thought he was thinking, but it turned out he thought that McLean was still thinking and it hadn't entered his thought process that McLean had thought better of it and folded.

My head hurts.


Anyway, while this was all going on Michael Ahearne already had his showing to spectators in a pre-emptive, I'm feeling good about this hand sort of way. Marty then finally realised action was on him, saying, "I call, I have to." He then proceeded to turn over for the straight. Michael was seemingly dazed and confused when he showed and then suddenly understood that he was, horror of horrors, actually behind. The river changed nothing and more chips went to the Irish man.

dunno why but this amused me so much.

RichEO, (17.5k btw) pointed out something else that Michael said just before they turned over the cards, he said, "If you haven't got a Queen, you're behind!"

Apparently not.

Joey Lovelady -- 37k

Paul 'Got Milk?' Gardner has just knocked out Mike Williams with Kings vs Queens.

Joey Lovelady has lost most of his stack, on a Q-2d-3d-7-T board, his opponent, Kujinder Sidhu (a friend of Garinder Purewal's) calling with on the river.

Sidhu was at it again soon after, he lead out on the river of a board, Maz Amiri moved all-in and Sidhu instantly called, Maz showing the runner runner flush , but Sidhu already held for the flopped house and had caught two perfect turn and river cards.


Play has now finished for the day. We'll see you all again tomorrow at 2pm.
