Here's RED-DOG, on dinner break and revealing his secret new tactic:  "Pretend I started with 10k and am now up to 12k."  He had to dodge the danger of a Mad Turk gaining and losing multitudes of chips early on, but after he (Turk) busted, the texture of the table changed.  He's got about another 15 minutes to relax in updaters' corner before heading back... 

Fun Red-Dog facts of the day:  Knows secret language which he and brother created as children.  Can't keep up with music videos because of the swift editing.

Rob Spencer is OUT. Dan Sampson, the conqueror with the mighty . He limp-called from early position, as did Chris Bruce. Sampson called a bet on the flop before setting Spencer in on the , the latter feeling he was committed with , but couldn't catch an ace or eight to improve his hand.

Big change of fortunes for Wick at the expense of Chili. He raised to 200 and Maria re-raised to 600 with Richard Redmond and Rick calling. The flop came out A-J-x, Maria betting out with Rick raising and Richard folding. Maria made the call before calling a bet of 5,200 on the Queen turn. Both checked the 2 river, only for Rick to show a rivered set of deuces which had triumphed over Maria's A-K.

WP on the river Rick.

Przemek Rusin knocks out Pete Linton, as follows:

Young Mr. Linton is pictured here with many more chips than he had in his final moments - down to just over 3k (all in small denom chips after what I must assume is an efficient payoff of someone else just prior to this hand) he moved all in on his big blind after three limpers had put in 200.  Although I was definitely expecting this, he actually had something sort of like a hand, with which ended up being slightly in front of his caller (the UTG limper Rusin) who held .

Flop: 
Turn:
River:

Linton made a face like he'd just bitten into a stray cardamom pod in an otherwise nice curry and headed off towards the cash games.

We tried to get him to wear a t-shirt that said "I sold my soul to Flushy and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" but for some reason he wasn't up for it.

Pete Charalambous raises to 500 from early position, Greek Jack makes it 2,500 and like a bloodhound I'm there, sniffing out the scent. The big blind then comes in for a third raise making it 10,200 and Pete quickly gets out of the way. Greek Jack though, like a bad smell in a lift, takes a little longer to disappear. He thinks for a good couple of minutes before folding, claiming he had kings, with the big blind saying he had aces and Pete said he had nines, though I'm not sure everyone is telling the truth...

'UpTheMariners' Daniel Rudd makes a concerted push on a Ah board for around 8k or 9k into a similarly sized pot, his opponent folds.

Red Dog told me of a hand where everyone on the table limped to the big blind who raised to 1,200 getting one caller. The flop came K-7-5 and the limp/caller bet out 3k onto the flop with the OR then check/raising all-in for just 4k more with . The limper called with K-8 and his hand managed to hold on for a 15k pot.

[Horneris]

Theres no way GreekJack had KK, hes tez. He probs had like 22-55 and was actually thinking about calling.

El Blondie knocks out Daniel Lee, whose short stack found its way in with and out again into Colclough's stack as his held up.  DC now has 21,800, after raising on the button the very next hand (a minraise) and receiving both blinds as callers.  A weird small pot played out in which Daniel Rudd's eventually took it down on a board, Dave mysteriously showing a and mucking after loudly proclaiming how preflop there was, "Just no respect!  I just showed Queens!"

Meanwhile, it looks like Mick McCloskey might be in the running for chip leader, approaching 50,000 rapidly.  Here he is photographed back when he had the same chips as everyone else.  At the beginning.

He has about 18k I think. Pete Charalambous is talking non-stop at the moment, doing impressions of the Cryptologic software and commentating on every hand, which is tilting Rick Trigg for sure.

Speaking of being tilted, Paul Gourlay is feeling that after calling down bets on the flop and turn of a with K-J only to find his opponent had and had got there on the river. The Leeds-based Geordie was not amused.

While he steadfastly refused to get involved in an interesting hand while I was watching his table, he just can't keep his icy composure in the face of an unrelenting Peter Charalambous.  Trigg, who just moved to that table, is already tilting from the nonstop commentary, tangential meandering and seeming inexhaustible supply of chat coming from his right.  Snoopy, however, while in a hand, looks like he may have been recently lobotomised, a tactic which is working well against the chatter. 
"How does he play?"  Pete asked me.
"I don't know," I replied, honestly.
"Well, everyone else I can get a read on, but he's really hard to get a read on."

There you go.  That's what he's doing currently, being hard to get a read on.  Apart from here, where Charalambous was momentarily clutching his arm gently (not for the first time, apparently) before announcing to the room in general, "This is the gay corner!  Come to our gay corner!"  Neighbour Paul Murphy can't keep a straight face either.
