Ok chip leader drumroll!!!

Womble!!! With around 33k!!!



Some guy who plays the circuit a lot, tends to do ok, got 32k.

[NoflopsHomer]

Julian's post tournament increase was in an unraised pot which came with a tantiliasing flop, one guy led out for 600 and was min-raised to 1,200 with Julian making it 3,000. Just the min-raiser called, Thewy then bet the turn and was called before setting his opponent in on the river where his opponent passed apparently.

Sam Trickett, "Julian had the ace or king flush for sure and just knew the other guy had a smaller flush, he's not cold 4-betting there without close to the absolute nuts."

Sam still has a pretty solid stack himself and it's only a matter of time before the two GUKPT winners go at it...

[NoflopsHomer]

Steve Craig has eliminated another opponent with K-J vs J-T on a board, all-in on the flop. He's a bunch alongside Thewy, Sam Trickett and Miroslaw Klys who are all sitting with 30k+ stacks, but I get the feeling this table could be like Highlander...

There can be only one....

[snoopy1239]

Simon Zach's exit has been confirmed courtesy of former tablemate Paul Gourlay. "He had a flush draw versus a bigger flush draw and didn't hit." "How many chips did he have at the time," I asked. "Hmm, about 5,000 I think."

Chips ahoy at table Gourlay as Terry Owens finds himself all in against Richard Hawes on a board. He's in good shape though, with against Richard's . The board didn't pair, leaving Richard with shrapnel which later went in with versus . No help once again cemented his downfall, and he was gone.

[NoflopsHomer]

Double up for Paul Gourlay and a nice suckout too. He was all-in with against but managed to finish off better, . He's now up to about 15k.

Meanwhile Michael Greco has a face like thunder and is storming off into the Bolton night. He had bet a on the flop and moved in on the turn and was called by CT Law with the surprisingly weak , but the fomer Eastender's couldn't weather the river which flushed away his hopes.

Greco was pretty incredulous at the fact he had been called on the flop, "How could you call?" he asked. All his opponent could muster was, "There was too much in the pot for me to fold."

Pete Linton has been knocked out by Paul Parker with his 3-3 failing to hold against Parker's K-J who is up to the dizzy heights of 17k. Go on the rocks!!!

[NoflopsHomer]

A twenty minute break.

Four guys I think could make the final:

Sam Trickett -- 20k
Rob Sherwood -- 31k
Alli Mallu -- 35k (3k at level 3)
Julian Thew -- 40k

[NoflopsHomer]

Jen is OUT. She was pretty concise in her exit hand.

"10BB, shove on the button with Q-9 vs table rock, he snap-calls with A-K. Game over."

[snoopy1239]

"It's a roller coaster this," observes Victor Kaye, just moments after doubling up Paul Gourlay with aces versus queens when a queen hit the flop. "It's all right," said Paul as he stacked his newly acquired 18,000 stack. "He just did the same to someone else just a few seconds ago with queens v kings."

Julian Thew is the chip leader with 65k. Best tournament player in Europe at the moment?

Last month's winner Sam Trickett is up to 40k after knocking out Colin Wu. He called the Wu button raise and then check called 2k on a flop before check/raising a 5k bet on the turn to 12.5k. Wu moved in with and Sam quickly called with a skanky which held on the river and puts last month's winner among the contenders.

Life is sweet.

[NoflopsHomer]

MIA:

John 'Johnes147' Eames
John Perrin

[NoflopsHomer]

Play has really slowed but Anthony Shields has just doubled up his stack to 12k having shoved from middle position before being called by Kareem Jomeen's whilst Shields could only muster .

A board later though and it was the short stack that was celebrating, whilst Jomeen utter the internet player's typical cry of "I run so bad," as he stack his remaining 500, 100 and 25 chips into a meeker stack of around 6k.

[snoopy1239]

Harry Zammit (pictured) is out, and exited in rather unfortunate circumstances too. All in with ("Oh, I'm ahead"), Harry was looked up by David Paul who had . Whilst the board looked good, the river wasn't, and following a brief collective gasp from the table, Harry picked up his belongings and left the cardroom disgruntled.




Karim Jomeen has eliminated at the usually pinchy pinchy hands of Ali Mallu. A-K versus aces, no divine intervention.

[NoflopsHomer]

Current chip leader Dominic Roosookh with about 65k

[NoflopsHomer]

The board reads and Womble checks, Rob Sherwood bets 3.5k and Womble now makes 8.5k. But Rob Sherwood moves all-in. A deep sigh from the Womble and eventually he says, "Ok, I'll give you credit for a set of eights" and passes.

I think Rob has to have Quad Kings with a Royal Flush redraw minimum here to make this move...
