Adam Wilkinson was indeed that first exit, and it was Richard Sherwood opening the door and walking him to his car. On what was either the third or fourth hand of the day, Adam and Richard both saw a a flop of 2-4-5, only for Adam to push all in on the ten turn. Holding A-3 for the flopped straight, Richard called quicker than a hiccup and simply had to avoid a house-filling river against the flopped set of Adam's 4-4. A blank on the river, and Adam was gone.

Another one down, and another one in late by the looks of it, as the official on-the-board runners number briefly dropped down to 72 before going back up to 73.

Our early exit was in the exact shape of Tony Nicholls. A gentleman raised to 225 in late position, called by the button. Marc Goodwin made it 1,000 from the small blind, and Nicholls in mid position made it All In for 6,175; the original raiser and the button immediately got out of the way. "Do you want me to call?" enquired Goodwin. "It's up to you, mate," replied Nicholls with an awesome show of absolute nonchalance. Nevertheless, call Goodwin did, and his was painfully ahead of Nicholls' . "I didn't think you'd call," said Nicholls, unnecessarily. I understand he'd slow-played Queens a few hands earlier...

Board: a roundly unsurprising , meaning that Nicholls is no more and Goodwin is running, er, well. Table Goodwin broke after that hand.

Setbackaments for Flushy.

With the board reading , he checked over to Steve "cardshark on blonde" Read, who bet a whopping 3.5k. "What the hell?" said Flushy. "Come on James," said Read, "You know you want some." After a short pause for thought, it turned out that Read was right and Flushy did indeed 'want some'. "I'm just curious," said he. 

Flushy called, and just mucked when Read turned over . There was some eye-rolling shortly afterwards.

Photo to follow because Snoopy walked off with the camera, sorry.

Albert Sapiano is OUT. He was all in with T-8 against Sid Harris' K-K on a 2-8-3 flop. 4 turn and 3 river was of no use.

Tales from Table Andreou...

The garrulous, so-good-they-named-him-twice Andrew Andreou called me over to complain that Snoops and I must be doing no work at all owing to us having missed two hands on his table. He filled me in.

Jon Lundy is a bit short after getting half his chips in preflop - there was a raise utg and a re-raise, which Lundy flat-called with pocket Kings. The flop came down Q-7-2 or Q-7-9 depending on who you talk to, and the gent in seat 7 whose name I do not know led out for 2,000 into a 4,500 pot. Lundy insta-folded.

---

Further tales of the unexpected. Mr Andreou informs me that the reason he has over 20k currently is that he and Ben Callinan saw a Kx flop - Andreou was holding 9-J, Callinan was holding , and no more spades appeared. This may explain the ludicrously good mood that Mr Andreou is in. He drew a happy face on my notepad and ordered me to emulate it for the rest of the day.

Another Linton classic. "Don't report that hand," said Pete. In the interests of journalistic integrity, though, here it is.

Linton raises to a reasonable sort of 225. Two seats down on the cutoff, Rick Trigg calls.

Flop: - Pete bets 325. Trigg calls.

Turn: - check, check.

River:

Now Pete bets 1,000. "Oh no," says Trigg, "You're not value betting a ten, are you?" He calls. Pete turns over . Laughs Chris Bruce cross the table, "You're such a fish." "How am I a fish?" replies Pete, "What am I fishing for?" Good question...

[snoopy1239]

Richard Sherwood is your current chip leader with around 30k. He just eliminated another opponent with jacks versus queens, all in preflop, jack on the flop.

---------

Ben Callinan found himself all in. He had against on a flop of and survive a turn and river. He's still short stacked though.

 A fun hand from the Table Of Doom.

One of Trevor Reardon, Paul Jackson and Joe Grech raised to 225 preflop, and the pother two called (missed that bit, sorry).

Flop: - Reardon checked, Jackson bet 600 and and Grech folded and wandered off somewhere. "I'll value call," said Reardon.

He then proceeded to bet out 1,100 on the turn, which Jackson called, and they both checked the the river. Reardon turned over for a flopped two pair, and Jackson mucked. I would tell you their chip counts after this hand but for the fact that we are getting FULL BREAKTIME CHIP COUNTS any minute! This is great.

Never quite recovering from that short-stacked-ness, Ben Callinan is now OUT - he raised and then three-bet all in with A-K to an enormous reraise from Neil Giblin. Giblin was holding pocket queens, which held up. I know all of this because the whole time Andrew Andreou was mouthing something at me across the room which I thought at the time was "boring" but actually turned out to be "all in". By the time I realised my mistake and got there, it was of course all over, and I will thus be resigning my post and today's updates will be provided by Mr Andreou and the beagle.

[snoopy1239]

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

[danafish]

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.

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.
