Andrew Tuxworth makes it 275 to go from late position, Mateyboy calls on the button and Matt Tyler makes it 1,000 to play from the blind. Tuxworth calls, Mateyboy steps out the way.

Flop =

Check, check.

Turn =

Check, check.

River =

Matt bets 1,100, Tuxworth makes it 4,000.

"How not to play my hand," confesses Matt as his faces turns sour.

"Nice hand, buddy," he continues.

Meanwhile, Tuxworth remains silent, arms folded, face motionless.

"Will you show if I fold?" asks Matt.

"No," announces Tuxworth abruptly.

"How about that notepad you've been writing on?" probes Matt.

"Definitely not that," replies Tuxwroth smirking.

Soon after, Matt releases hand, only for Tuxworth to go back on his word and reveals .

"He's an unconventional player," commented Matt later, clearly ruing folding what was probably the best hand.

Matt Tyler = 6,400
Andrew Tuxworth = 10,100

Still on Table Andreou, Alan Vinson has picked up a rather nice pot.

I believe there was a small raise preflop and Vinson reraised; I suspect he was surprised to get three callers. Nevertheless, the flop came down and they checked around, to see a turn. Andreou bet 750, and the gent in seat 8 called, as did Vinson. Jon Lundy folded. The river was the , and it checked around to Vinson, who bet 2.5k. It was enough, and he took down the pot without me getting to see anyone's cards, disappointingly.

Blimey, that was quick. And here is the raising rascal now, looking distinctly bronzed after his trip to Vegas.

As I wandered passed the far table, little did I know that there was a big three way pot developing between Josh Gould, Andy Johnson and Zeb Zaheer, the latter of those betting 3,000 onto a board with almost 10,000 already in the pot. After Gould had checked his cards and ducked out the way, Johnson asked for a count before min-raising to 6,000. Believing it was too cheap to fold, Zaheer made the call and showed . Johnson could only muster to give Zaheer the pot.

As a result, Johnson is down to 6,000.

Moustache Of The Day Martino Libertini bets 1k on on an flop, and all but the young gent to his right fold. Young Gent calls.

The turn is the and Young Gent checks to Libertini, who now bets 2k. With a very small disgusted sort of noise, Young Gent folds.

NEWS FLASH


Ali Mallu (13,000) is the first to order food here today. He has opted for the DTD Burger.

But will he run onion rings around his opponents today?

Continued bully-age from Alan Vinson.

Says Andrew Andreou, "Have oyu got your notepad?" I have. "Get ready to write!" But after four or five players including Andreou and Vinson checked a flop, Vinson bet out 500 on the turn from the small blind, and everyone else passed. Andreou waved his 5-6 offsuit at me as he folded.

Frustration for GUKPT London runner upper Tony Phillips as his river bet of 2,000 on a board of is reraised virtually all in by Paul Rayner. Tony folds his A-Q in disgust only for Paul to tease with an 8... eventually followed by a cheeky 10.

Phillips down to 2,800.

It would appear, much to my sorrow as I was hoping to get a photo of his awesome dice-patterned trousers, that Des Jonas has kicked the tournament bucket, and is nowhere to be seen.
