Lawrence Gosney's stack has dwindled but he's doubled up with a typical Gosneyite hand. He called a raise from Dennis Clough and they saw a flop where all the money went in.

Clough:

Gosney: Erm...

Gosney's hand held and he's way back over 100k once more.

Meanwhile Alli Mallu shows why he's the most infuriating player to play against.

Sam Trickett limp/calls a Mallu small blind raise.

Both checks the flop. On the turn, Mallu checks against and Trickett bets 10.5k. Mallu lets down the sledgehammer and moves all-in. I've never seem Sam looks so pained, he thinks about it for a good few minutes and eventually has the clock called him, folding a second before his hand is declared dead. Mallu proves why he's such a pain to play against...

Good luck to Lawrence Gosney. Hope he takes it down and buldozer's the rest of the field!

Is anybody covering the DTD £300 tonight?

The players are still on the dinner break, but just moments before they headed towards the buffet, Rob Sherwood managed to double up in the blinds with aces versus the kings of Surinder Sunar, all in preflop. Rumour has it that Rob played his hand superbly.

I believe Floppy caught a couple of post-dinner exits, but apart from that, the pace has been rather lack lustre with the majority of hands being taken down preflop, often uncontested. There was a hand on one table where the streets were played, Tim Flander's 7,000 button raise being flat called by Lawrence Gosney in the small. On the flop, both players checked, before Lawrence insta-check-called a bet of 10,000 on the turn. A river led to a pause from Lawrence, before leading out for 18,000. Sensing he may have been bashed on the head by the river, Tim made the call with , but was dismayed to see he'd been outdrawn by Lawrence's .

Whilst this hand put Lawrence back up to around 115,000 (Lord Gosney is up and down like a pogo stick today), an evidently disgruntled Tim was left with a paltry 13,500, made up solely of green 500 chips. This stack soon went in, not once, but twice in one round. First he snapped up the blinds with , before punishing Dennis Clough's small blind limp with a shove on the big blind. "I have a nice hand," claimed Dennis, but he always looked as though he was leaning towards the fold. "I try and play nice..." he concluded as his hand hit the muck. Meanwhile, Tim remained in generous mood, showing . "It's not a bad hand, suited too."

Yeah, Sam Trickett is out. Kevin O'Leary raised from the cutoff, Sam pushed from the button before Ali Mallu re-raised all-in from the big blind as Kevin got out of the way.

Sam:

Ali:



And the Luton champion is gone.

Rob Sherwood got up to 60k just before the break, mainly courtesy of a nice coup with aces against Surinder Sunar's kings in a button vs small blind battle.

"Surinder just flatted me preflop from the small blind, because I had enough chips to get away if he'd re-raised, he'd gone to get the maximum and was unlucky. Once the flop came down 10-high it all went in."

Surinder though has since doubled up himself with A-K against Justin Devonport's A-Q, while Pippa Flanders has eliminated Steve Higton in the same manner.

Finally, fitting into these AIPF battles, Kevin Steward has doubled through Alli Mallu with vs
