Insta-busto on Table 9 and it's Om Aggarwal. Obviously.

Whilst watching Andy Bradshaw and Vas Theophanous argue, (apparently Theophanous was talking about the hand having already folded) I felt a prod in the back from John 'Reggie' Perrin who pointed across to the table where Aggarwal's chip were all in the middle with on a flop against Karim Jomeen's . A ray of hope on the turn but £1,000 down the swanny on the river.

Today's players.

Table Jen which coincidentally also holds 100% of the ginger-haired women playing today.



Paul Parker, Tony Phillips and the awesomely named Harry Zammit have not turned up yet. Oh maybe they all think Pete Linton smells.

Table 4 has been identified as tougher than a two dollar steak, and two of the dangermen have already clashed early doors. I joined the action with Pete Linton calling 500 on a board. Mick Fletcher, intensely stoic with his ipod on, shades locked in and cap shadowing his face, led out for 1,500 on the river. After a momentary dwell, Pete made the fold and the Northerner took the pot.

Hope to make it later for railing duties.

Dave Smith may be the recipient of more booty than Scrooge McDuck over the last year or two, but it looks like he'll be going home empty handed this time around after being knocked down to just 2,000 courtesy of foreboding Liverpudlian James Morgan. With the board reading , James bet out just 2,000 into what was a 10,000 plus pot, and was quickly called by his GUKPT winning foe. As James showed a domineering , Dave mucked and commented, "I had trip tens." Whether we believe him not is one for the Jeremy Kyle lie detector test, but either way, he's been knocked down to the felt and will be searching for a double up in the very near future.

More pots than Flushy's Cannes adventure at the moment.

First we lost Darren Hickman holding on a board against Dean Lyall's which caught the on the turn and managed to avoid the pair up.

Next to them, Paul Gourlay is telling me about the preflop action that went min-raise, min-re-raise, min-re-raise between Andrew Leivers and Sammy Cheung. The board came down where Leivers made a very cautious check behind with and had seemingly missed a bet against Cheung's .l

Mick Fletcher, so often having a reputation of an 'any two cards, big stack at all costs' has had the filthometer rebound in his face. The board read (not sure which way it had come out) and Fletcher dropped around 2,000 on the end with to Chris Wright's .

As Treguard would say..."Ooooh, nasty..."

The Thewster in not the most flattering of photos, I do apologise, shortly before folding his big blind to a UTG raise to 500 by Marta Pilipowska.

Spoke to Jen in passing and she was still applying her pre-tournament strategy of 'tight is right' or, as she put it, "I don't want to go out early again so I just won't play a hand for the first two levels." I really go getter that one.

Someone who has been playing more than the odd hand is current chip leader GUKPT Cardiff finalist Steve Craig. He surely has around 30,000 after taking down numerous pots, including the scalp of Andrew Bradshaw. I didn't catch the hand myself, but neighbour Julian Thew reliably informed that Bradshaw ran a flush draw into the turned two pair (A-Q) of Craig, which ultimately stood up on the blank river. "He's winning every pot, this guy," claimed a jealous Julian.

But not so, as just a few hands later, Julian was adding the necessary meat to his own stack, leading out for 1,100 on a board before being being looked up, very reluctantly I might add, by Joe Grech. "I missed my flush," said Joe to a bemused Julian. Joe showed to justify his call, but it wasn't quite enough as Yoyo revealed for a flopped two pair.
