It looks like Alan Vinson may have budged passed Chris Bruce to snap up the chip lead. He currently has 49,000.

Yes indeed, Mr Vinson Sr is on fire - it looked like nearer 60k when I strolled past. He was in the process of calling Marc Goodwin's small position bet on a flop - they both then checked the turn and Goodwin tried it on again for 2k on the flop but Vinson was having none of it and swiftly called. Goodwin mucked before Vinson even turned over his .

Goodwin however is not doing too badly either though - on around 40k, he's easily the second biggest stack on Table Vinson.

alli malu grinding didnt think he knew how to lol ,top player.

Mr Vinson Jr is also still in and doing well, although not in this particular hand. He raised in early position to 1.5k and received absolutely no respect from Fran Creed who called and Richard Hawes who also called. Martino Libertini, however, moved all in from the small blind for a whisker short of 10k in total, and a veritable tsunami of folding followed. Libertini showed , to some ooh-ing from the table.

Daniel Jolowicz is gone. His stack was decimated like a tower of cards in the wind, pocket kings being outgunned by the pocket nines of James Bishop on an ensuing 2-3-9-8-4 board. To say he was dismayed would be like calling a hamster in a snake pit slightly disgruntled.

I join the action with the relentless Ali Mallu all in from the blind after Jim Reid's opening raise from mid position. Mallu's reputation has obviously made an impact, Jim claiming, "You could be making this move with any two cards," before adding, "you're a good player to take up, but not to double up." Mallu, meanwhile, could only shrug his shoulders and declare, "I need a double up."

After a brief pause, Jim announced, "You know what, I'm going to gamble," before making the call. With a couple of raised eyebrows, Jim showed , but he was going to need help as Mallu revealed . Sadly for Reid, it didn't arrive on the board allowing Mallu to scoop what must have been a circa 20k pot.

"Go easy now," advised Jim.

"You've created a monster," commented Chris Bruce.

After a bit of a raising war on the flop, Jeff Rogers bet out an enormous 11k on the apparently harmless turn. His on-the-flop raising opponent Richard Berridge folded so fast it looked like his cards just disappeared into thin air.

I made that last bit up.

I only caught the latter stages of this bizarreness so I'm not massively sure how it came to this, but I witnessed He Who Cannot Be Named bet a fairly sizeable quantity of chips on the turn of the board and Mr Wernick raising him an equally sizeable quantity of chips. Mr Cannot Be Named called. Mr Wernick had maybe 5.5k remaining behind at this time. The river was the and Mr Wernick checked to Mr Cannot Be Named, who bet 4.5k. Mr Wernick got his chips in, Mr Cannot Be Named called the difference, and they were on their backs.

Mr Cannot Be Named:
Mr Wernick:

Double up for Mr Wernick, disgruntlement for Mr Cannot Be Named. Extraordinary.
