Some trouble for Ms Michaela Johnson.

She bets 1050 from the cutoff on a flop, and Sami Yusuf on the button calls.

Turn - - Michaela checks and Sami bets 2225. She hesitatingly calls.

River - - again Michaela checks, and then calls Sami's 3625 bet, apparently a little unwillingly. She mucks when he turns over for what was a pretty monstrous hand all the way through that...

I think that's Michaela Johannson, rather than Johnson, who was sponsored by DTD for a bit.

During the dinner break, we were chatting to Nick Romanello about his table. "It's very tough, I love my table but I could really do with some hands."

Soon after, he's raising to 750 from early position only to pass a Shaf re-raise to 2,250. Shaf's table banter chirps up once more, though it's all good-natured on this table.

On the next table Maldini32 raises from the cut-off on Dewi's big blind.

Dewi, "You've got a hand."

Maldini, "Well I can't really tell you that..."

Dewi thinks for a moment, "Guiness Power!!!" says Maldini, Dewi thinks for a bit more before  moving for about 5k.  Maldini insta-folds.

"Does he have a hand? In a word," says the small blind, "No!"

Maldini later confesses he had Q-7 suited.

Here's John 'Johnes147' Eames in seat 10 primed to attack James Akenhead's blinds.



John never stops being bemused by some of the play that he's seen today. He's got about 17k mainly through a guy going all-in against him with A-J against his A-K. He's wary of James though.

With a fairly hefty pot already, Michael Hill bets 5k on a board. Priyan De Mel takes a while before calling.

River - and Michael checks. Priyan bets 6k. Some dwelling, some clock-calling and Mr Hill calls. And indeed Priyan is the king of the Hill - he turns over for the absolute nuts, and Michael mucks.

Updates for Maldini, Dewi plzzzz

Disaster for entertaining Scandie and also Mr Gordon Macarthur; then afterwards for Alexandra Jackson

There is a flop; it is and Mr Henning Granstad bets 2.5k. Gordon Macarthur promptly goes all in for around 5.5k. Dara O'Kearny promptly goes all in for 13k. Henning has around 13k. "Wow," he says.

--------Dwelling---------

"Wow," says Henning.

--------Dwelling---------

"I'm getting way too good a price," says Henning, and calls.

Henning -
Gordon -
Dara -

Turn -
River -

Dara O'Kearny scoops the lot, Mr Gordon Macarthur is OUT and Henning has 125 chips left. He's all in next hand on the big blind. He is looking at his hole cards and making the universal expression of "not bad". Meanwhile John Stamatelopoulos is raising and Alexandra Jackson is calling, and then finding herself all in on the 6-2-K flop.

Alexandra - A-K
John - T-K
Henning - J-6 and definitely still in with a chance

Turn - Ten - ouch
River - Ten - OUCH

So Mr Henning Granstad is officially OUT, and Ms Alexandra Jackson is down to 175, presumed now OUT.

Tell Fran and Chilli to stop being degens on the roulette machines.

I don't think they were actually playing them, they were merely being degenerate in the vicinity of the roulette machines. Chili has now been and gone from the £100 event, by the way; not sure how Fran's doing...

[BigCityBanker]

update on Liam Flood, Rob Taylor and Dara O'Kearney please. tnx.
