I think this is a pretty strong final.  I'd never played with any of them besides the Greenster before yesterday, but a bunch of them did some pretty smart stuff at various points.  La Ronde is my dark horse choice, he has a pretty unorthodox approach that I liked a lot.

QFT

Hope you're well Richard.

We've witnessed few pots of note of late, so while there is a lull in the play, here are some miscellaneous pictures of people eating fruit, although I must confess that the final one may have been staged.

Iwan Jones chomping on a juicy melon. Yum yum.



Andy Warnes and Peter Arrigoni sharing the Welshman's love of melon and relieving their focus on the game.



Liam Boland caught in the act as he noshes on a banana.



Paul Rigg rising from his seat in excitement as he chows down on assorted grapes.



AWOP's Phil enjoying a platter of fruit, with his eyes transfixed on the green grapes.

James Mitchelll raises to 40k from the cut-off only to find Sam Trickett re-popping him on the button to 110,000...

James thought for a short while before announcing all-in!

Sam stayed in his usual pose, face resting on his closed fist as he shuffled chips again and again, occasionally looking at James to pick up a read. Ultimately though he decided he couldn't call off his stack there and laid down the hand, the curly haired youngster James picking up the pot to propel him nicely into the chip lead.

Snoopy has full table counts just coming up following that blockbuster hand.

Worzel NEVER smiles. This is him delighted. Good luck Mr Mitchell. TID, etc. Oh and hello Blonde btw.

Seat 7: James Mitchell -- 433,000

I played with this chap in a Gala side event and thought he was pretty decent.  Oh, and unfortunate to be two outered by luckbox reevio.

Sam Trickett picks up the blinds with an early position raise of 40,000. Meanwhile, there's been a changing of the guards with Grosvenor Walsall's Zak stepping in to announcing duties.

Wish it was me on the mic now, but unfortunately illness has got the better of me this weekend. Good luck to all remaining players and tell Green that no matter where he finishes, he can't give up.

After being knocked about a bit Stuart was down to what was something like 140-150k, and when it was folded round to him  on the button, he pushed all-in for hsi stack.

Sam Trickett looked at his cards and called quickly with A-K which unsurprisingly was ahead of The Nutter, who had made his move for the blinds with the behind, but live .

Needing a Queen, Nine or a bunch of clubs to survive Stu was unable to find any of these on a board, meaning Stu Rutter is OUT, eliminated in 8th spot for £11,300ul mr rutter wp m8.

Good game Stu...and Sam Trickett recovers some of the damage done earlier with that pot.

Snoopy has the updated chip counts on their way...

I've been thinking about this "Save our Green" campaign and looking at some of the pictures on here and have concluded that Martin may be right. It takes a great poker player to have self-awareness and in some of the pictures he just looks tired and old compared with some of the fresh-faced youths in this final.

 Maybe it is just time to call it a day. We can look back on a career and reflect on what nearly was rather than watch a man literally disintegrate and age before our very eyes. Some of those six-way chops in The Bellagio daily $1000 2pm comps against the true elite of the second division of slightly down-on-their luck Vegas pros and semi-pros. The great times where everyone got slightly more than third prize.

 He's right. These stupid bloody tournaments are a young man's game.

 Wishing you well in your retirement old boy.

This is surely a misread by the Channster. Take a look at this photo for example. Martin looks full of beans and ready to take on the world. He would strike fear into the very heart of even the most menacing of poker players.

A limp from Wayne Mardle in early position had a snowball effect, causing a limpfest with David La Ronde, Martin Green and Peter Arrigoni all limping in.

Family pot then, but it ended quickly as Arrigoni bet out 30k on the flop from the small blind and met no resistance, taking it down after the limpfest turned into a foldfest...
