Paul Jackson aka Actionjack has made his last raise of the tournament.

Finding himself shortstacked he pushed on the button, only to find Pippa Flanders re-raising confidently.

Iwan Jones made a tough pass with what he later said were pocket tens and it transpired it was a good pass as Pippa showed down pocket Kings.

Paul was in a world of trouble, meekly showing down 8-2 and needing a spot of help.

An eight popped out on the flop drawing a few hushed and slightly unenthusiastic ooohs from the watching crowd as the possibility of an outdraw beckoned but it was not to be as the turn and river flowed by eightlessly and twolessly, leaving his tournament in tatters and propelling the upwardly mobile Pippa to over 20,000.

"Well played me" critiqued Iwan modestly for his pass of tens there.



Flushy has won a big pot off John Gale and is now sitting on a lofty stack of 64,225.

After raising with A-4 preflop, as you do, Flushy saw an A-J-8 flop and check called John's bet of 2,200.

The turn was an 8 and both players checked.

The river came a T and flushy bet out 3k, only to be virtually min raised to 7,500.

He called the extra 4.5k ("I can't see what he could have there?") and despite the small raise, John couldn't table a hand and mucked.

His tablemate Chris Moorman is also going rather well, as he can boast an impressive 30,000 stack at this point. About time for Moorman to run good in a live event perhaps?

Here is Chris celebrating the good shape he is currently in.

It's bedlam at Table Tighty as the big man himself raises under-the-gun (yes, you heard correctly) for 1,2000. Play folds round quicker than Dwayne Chambers after a visit to the chemists, leaving Tighty to scoop the blinds uncontested with his aces (he didn't show). "I folded quads," commented Barry Carter in the aftermath. I think a guy folded kings on the neighbouring table too.

But if an under the gun raise wasn't enough to get your blood pumping, Tighty was bumping and grinding again just a few rounds later when he pushed all in for 7,000 on a K-7-Q flop. Perhaps unaware of his reputation (although the light is bad in here, so maybe he mistook Tighty was Ali Mallu), Panicos Ellinas made the call with a paltry J-T, but will have been delighted to see he had overcards to the Prewster's 7-6, as well as the open ended straight draw.

Running nines, and Tighty was done, although he left in a blaze of glory knowing that he got it in with bottom pair, and was still ahead!



-------------

Martin Jarvis has doubled through after being left hanging by Nick Gibson for a good minute or two. I think someone called the clock on Nick, much to the dismay of Martyn Cavanagh who believed it hadn't been long enough and thus contested the request. Back on the felt, the board read and Martin had pushed all in for circa 8,000. With Adam Stoneman waiting behind, Nick ummed and aahed before eventually calling with . After Adam had sidestepped out of the way, Martin showed and duly increased his stack two fold as the turn and river came and respectively.



And this is the face Nick mistakenly thought was weak...



Gibson back down to 25,000.

--------------

I'm not 100% of the names in this hand, but I believe Peter Wood (below) has just snipered Dave Anderson out of the comp. Anderson was all with on a flop of , but was snap-called (as you would) by Peter and his . No miracles graced the G Casino in Luton and Anderson was gone.



----------

We've witnessed more doubles than a night on the town with Dana today, the latest encounter seeing Jim Reid double up Craig Bickerton with versus but failing to hit on a harmless Two Clubs board. Jim now down to 8.5k.

Dave Colclough was up to 24,000 although he was just seen having to lay down on an two spades board after seeing his 6,000 turn bet check raised all-in by his opponent. Down to 14,000 now...



Random chip count of the day. Steve Jelinek - 16,000.

Chip counts from the end of level 6 approaching shortly.

As the night grows older, we're starting to see more and more all-in encounters. The last one I witnessed involved blondeite Graham 'Chompy' Wheldon. With both players in early position, Paul Leckey found himself all in for his tournament life with against the of Wheldon. The flop and turn was looking good for Leckey, but he was teased devilishly on the river as the dealer fumbled continuously with the final card. Eventually he scooped it up to reveal a , although the wait, and the momentary sight of paint caused Leckey to palm his chest as if to calm his rapidly beating heart. Leckey up to 11,000.



-----------

Mohammed Zahour has also been busy of late. He just ran into the of Ergun Macit (pictured). No help on a board and he's back down to 20,000.

As we approach the final level of the night, one man who won't be returning in two days time is Jerome O'Shea. His assassin was Jeff Rogers, his A-K out-gunning O'Shea's pocket nines when a second king hit the turn. I wish I could report some Hellmuth-esque rants or Matusow like blow-ups, but everyone here today has been thoroughly well behaved, which is sometimes less entertaining than a good old fashioned tantrum or over-celebration. As with most exits today, O'Shea didn't begrudge his lack of coin-flippage and simply wished his opponents good luck before quietly exiting the table.

"I can't believe he just called that," commented a bemused Martyn Cavanagh rising from his seat abruptly.

Martin Green raised it up, Garinder Purewal flat called and Sami Yusef pushed all in. Martin folded, but Garinder called with . Yusef tabled .

Board = three diamonds

Yusef doubles up.

------------

Also heading towards the door (or the roulette table) is Stephen Basri. I only caught the aftermath of the hand, but he exited with kings versus the A-K of Jon Brown with a second bullet hitting the turn.

Flushy, not entirely surprisingly, has managed to wang a little bit of his stack.

"Ran into aces" he said, showing a surprising degree of restraint in not adding "aments" to any of the words. He didn't tell me what filth he had run into them with though...

He was more keen in telling me about a hand where he bluffed Chris Moorman preflop, re-popping his initial bet with T-4 and being rewarded with a fold. "One in the eye" he told me triumphantly, in the parlance of the young kids these days.

He's still on 60 odd thousand though which is likely to be good, or at least very close, to the chip lead.



Dave Colclough has not had the best of days and once he was reduced to 150 chips, it looked all over and indeed shortly afterwards, it was.

Bye bye Elblondie.



We're approaching the final level of the evening now which should herald a plethora of allins and attempts to double through by the shorties as they won't want to be hanging around for two days to come back with 5 big blinds.

Expect nothing less than unadulterated carnage.

A few last level chip counts for you to feast your beady eyes on:

Adam Stoneham -- 72,500
Paul Foltyn -- 50,000
Graham Wheldon -- 16,650
Chris Moorman -- 56,000
Alex Martin -- 32,000
Iwan Jones -- 60,150
Martin Green -- 35,500
Tracey Dell -- 11,250
James Dempsey -- 58,000
Dave Clark -- 17,900
Barry Carter -- 2,500
Ian Cox -- 60,200
Martyn Cavanagh -- 11,000

----------

Barry Carter is the first victim of the final level and thus won't be returning for day two. Although I only caught the very end of the hand, he was initially crippled by neighbour and fellow short-stacker Nick Gibson when the latter's from the cut-off rivered a pair on a three diamonds board to topple Barry's in the small blind. Judging by the hands, I can only assume it went in preflop.

A few hands later, and Barry was out.

Left with jsut 2.2 k after that hand he managed to double up with versus Adam Stoneham's K-J flopping trips but his luck couldn't hold as he pushed to double again with A-3, but his opponent's A-T was in no mood to be outdone and a Ten on the turn sealed Mr Carter's fate.

Flushy's stack has moved a little further in the wrong direction. Raising with T-8 off to 2.5k, a shortstack pushed behind for an amount Flushy couldn't pass to so he made the call.

The flop fell out a surprisingly pretty Q-J-9 giving Flushy a close to unassailable 2nd nut straight but by the river his shortstacked opponent had made a flush. None of the table appeared to notice this, a chorus of "bad lucks" and "good games" almost sending him to the door, but a reluctant Flushy felt it encumbent on him to point out the error of their ways and the player returned to the felt buoyed by a double up and having taken a nibble out of Flushy's stack, reduced to a still respectable 55,000.

Flushy was most annoyed by the fact he was forced to call with his T-8.

"There goes my image" he said with a sigh and a surprising lack of sarcasm in his voice.

My response was predictable.



-----------

As Alan Stearn makes his exit, he is closely followed by Mike Moore who fell at the hands of 'sicko' Nik Persaud. I suppose you have to win your coin-flips to final these events, and Nik Persaud found his coin buttered on the right side as his pocket tens survived a blank board against Moore's inferior K-Q.

Paul Bellamy has also been eliminated from today's event.

-----------

As I trundled over to the far end of the room, I was lured to one particular table by an array of ooh and aahs. The recipient of these sounds was Tracey Dingdell, who, although initially locked in a classic 50-50 battle, departed in rather more gut-wrenching form. All in against A-K, she needed her pocket queens to hold on, and although a flopped ace was followed by a dramatic queen on the turn, a cruel ten hit the river to give her opponent a straight on a J-A-x-Q-T board.

----------

More last level drama now as Tim Flanders finds himself all in against Iwan Jones. Although Iwan momentarily contemplated a fold to the final push with his , he eventually made the call only to be shown .

Tim looked understandably confident until the flop came a nerve-jangling ...



But Flanders had obviously been saying his prayers as the turn and river came a non-club and .



"You made me sweat there," commented Tim.

-----------

On a flop, Bernard Litman pushed all in with , but was picked off by Dara O'Kearney's . turn and river was of no aid and Litman was gone. Yucel Eminoglu (pictured sandwiched between the two players) apparently folded A-J on the flop.
