Big pots have threatened, but not actually reached the on-their-backs stage recently.  Andrew Tuxworth has been using his big stack to make hard-to-call bets, like the 25k he bet out into an already sizeable pot at opponent Darren Chadwick on a flop.  A long and pretty tortured decision affected Darren at this point, but he passed, reducing his stack in the process.

Then Tuxworth, having called Mick McCloskey's big blind preflop reraise, bet 30k when Mick checked a flop.  Again, the dwell, and again, the think better of it pass.  Is this unconventional player going to take down the inaugural Deepstack event?  Going to have to wait and see.  As Snoopy said, there hasn't been much to watch lately apart from players' bet sizes.

Scott Byron has obviously lost a huge pot to Andrew Tuxworth, as he's now down to just about 21k or so and having to survive the all-in shove and hope no-one calls. Meanwhile Tom Rutter is admitting that seat 1 (John Sadler) is tilting him due to the latter's ability to "medium connect with the flop and overshove into the pot."

"I just really want to get top pair and snap him off," admitted Tom.

Pete Linton, playing the £300, offered his opinion. "John is a Gala player, so he's used to bad structures and not this amount of chips and probably isn't experienced at playing deep-stacked poker."

Yep, he says Hi, and that you are Australian? 

He then moved all in preflop, and it looked a lot like John Sadler was going to give him a spin - the chips were counted out in neat stacks, to the hundred...but he folded. 

Not content, soon after this Sadler called Richard Hawes'  preflop raise to 8k in the blind, and they checked all the way down a board of .  Sadler then put in a minbet (3k) on the river, and with a shrug Richard paid off his .  They are both in the unenviable position of having shorter stacks than would be ideal now.

Dunno what to say about that!

Come on Rich take it down one time!!!!

Mick McCloskey is out on the bubble of the bubble of the bubble. Having been re-raised constantly by Andrew Tuxworth, including a hand just previously, where McCloskey asked the dealer if he could move in position against the chip leader. McCloskey raised the button with Jacks and Tuxworth repopped him with Ace King. It predictably all went in, but fortune favoured the chip leader whose stack alone seems to dominate the table.

Snoopy even said, "He's completely tying the table in knots."

It's the bubble of the bubble time!

Przemek Rusin wasn't having a great level - and perhaps showing him that bluff earlier encouraged this situation which just near-felted Tom Rutter.  The two of them saw a flop of .  Rusin bet 20k, and Rutter, having, in his own words, "bided his time..." moved his whole stack over the line.  Call!
Rusin: 
Rutter: 

Turn:
River:   And a rivered flush knocked Tom down to the point where he held 100 chips more than the big blind+ ante combo he had to put in the very next hand. 

Two double through in a row which were irrelevant to the stacks which autocalled him, and he had enough to pass his button (must have been total garbage) and make it to the break... you can tell it all from his expression (just imagine the word "Sick" sotto voce too)

Is there anything worse than setting up a player by showing him a bluff gettign him to call off all his chips and the having them suck out on you???

Like the Stranger says, "Sometimes you eat the bar, and, well, sometimes the bar eats you."

It's been that sort of day for Tom Rutter, who immediately moved all-in from under the gun for his last 19k or so. Richard Hawes moved all-in from the small blind.

Tom flipped whilst Richard showed .

Przemek said jokingly to Tom, "I passed two aces..."

"That's quite hilarious," was the reply.

was the board and Tom leaves us with just 10 players left.

Stop! Bubbletime!
