It did Robert, and a big pear...

Graham is right - Thewy is amazingly confident, he told me at the break that he's never felt so focused.

The chip geography at the table seems to have veered enormously, & our man, after suffering a torrid first hour or two, has the momentum going his way now.

And as you know, when our man gets chips, he's a pain, he moves & ducks & dives, nobody knows where they are with him.

At the end of this level, we will get accurate chip counts.

Great range of coverage, as ever, Tikay + Jen ... tableside spies, player text messages and family phone calls! Julian probably don't know me, but I have played against Graham a good few times ... tricky customers those Thews 

SMASH EM, JULIAN 

[bobby1]

sorry Robert, that was a slip of the tongue.

Kev...NO!!!!!

[tikay]

I can't help but wonder what would happen to the last two in this comp, with 1st place paying around €520k, & 2nd €260k. (approx). That's REAL money, & it's fine to say "I don't do deals", but......

Torsten Iverson told me in Baden that "The Norseman" have a "no deals" policy. I've also heard that Marcel is the same, but I'm not sure I believe that - if the deal "suited him", I fancy Marcel would do a deal. Having "no deal" principles is all very well, but just imagine sitting there & playing for THAT amount of dosh!

A good friend of mine rejected a deal two-handed a few years back, lost it (inevitably) & I think he'd "deal" next time.

[Colchester Kev]

sorry Robert, that was a slip of the tongue.

Kev...NO!!!!!

LOL ok i will resist

[Djinn]

Jan Sorensen just picked up the 80k raise of Marcel Luske, who pondered, sunglasses off, for a few minutes before passing  face up, for which he was rewarded by seeing Jan's  !

Tony
Tell Julian to kick ass...me and colchester kev in for 10%...dont tell Julian though !!

[tikay]

OK bookiebasher. Join the queue!

There is a break at the end of each level, we will check how long this level has left & get back to you. We do not have a countdown clock, as they are running another comp parallel, & they have the clock.
