Just before the break, Badbeat's Isabelle told me that Rob Garfield exited, calling all in on the big blind to John Stamatelopoulos' small blind shove. John had Tens, Rob had K-Q, no help and he's OUT. No more smiling for Rob today.

Oh hang on, our chip counts say that Dave Smith is still in when he quite clearly isn't. We'll check up on that...

Yes, that chip count is actually John Stamatelopoulos

[NoflopsHomer]

Dewi is OUT. Took a shot with but ran into Gareth Teatum's



Dewi shrugged and carried two pints of Guiness off into the sunset...

Pete Linton raises to 5,200 on the button. Rob Sherwood calls and checks dark.



Check check.



Check check.



Check check.

"Jack" says Rob, showing . It's good.

Mr Adam Clark has provoked the extreme gurnage of Mr Pete Linton by doubling up off of him. Adam shoved, claiming that he was doing so blind, which was of course a total fabrication. Mr Linton took some time over his decision...

...and then called. Mr Linton was most irked to see Mr Clark turn over , as Mr Linton was holding .

Board -

And Mr Linton is not best pleased.

Multiway limped pot.



Dara O'Kearny (who won the Green Joker Poker Deepstack comp after a chop) bets out 6k. Gareth Teatum gets out of the way. Joey Lovelady raises to 16k and everyone apart from Dara passes.



Check check



Dara checks again and Joey quickly moves all-in for a big overbet of the pot that Dara can't call. He doesn't and the Scouser takes it down.

Another spotted mistake in the chip counts. Richard Stanley isn't still in, it's actually Mike Hill.

[danafish]

Indeed on my last inspection it looked like Pete Linton was down to around 90k - something about losing another 50k or so to Adam Clark somewhere along the line...

[danafish]

Mr Hamid Rowshanaei is OUT. He raised to 8k, David Allan made it 14k, Hamid made it All In and David made the call.

Hamid - A-J
David - T-T

No help from the board, and Hamid wanders off, sipping his drink.

Mike Ellis, who'd lost a few chips, moves in over the top of Adam Clarke's preflop raise.

Adam, "Sorry mate, I have to call, I've got ."

Mike shows .



The last remaining GUKPT winner is OUT.



Also gone is Kerry Taylor, pushing with only to run into Pete Linton's Kings. 20 left.

One gentleman finding himself short around the bubble will be Mr Alan Vinnicombe after losing a sizeable pot to Mr Ganesh Rao.

Mr Vinnicombe limps in early position, small blind Mark Dalimre also limps, and big blind Ganesh checks.

Flop - - and it checks around to Alan, who bets 7k. Mark gets out of the way, but Ganesh just-over-min-raises to 15k. This looks suspicious. Alan looks suspicious. He calls.

Turn - - and Ganesh instantly announces all in. Alan looks like he's in pain. Eventually he passes, leaving himself only around 20k.

Also not messing about around the bubble, Lynne Beaumont. She relieved Ian Farrell of 7.5k, pushing all in for 33k or so to his raise in a blind-on-blind confrontation out of which he emerged the loser and she the Lynne-r  .

Stiil on the

Alan Vinnicombe has doubled through Ganesh Rao with Tens vs Nines.

Pete Linton raised to 7.7k preflop and fired bets of 10.5k and 20k on the flop and turn of a board but folded to a push of 25k more.

Rob Sherwood moved in over the top of Adam 'Clarkatroid' Clarke's button raise but wasn't called.

Clarke then just re-raised James Akenhead's UTG raise from 8.5k to 30k, making the Hitsquad member fold.

Still waiting for this bubble to burst.
