Alli Mallu would be a welcome addition to a Gosney/Trickett battle for me, but he's just lost a decent pot to Tony Cascarino, who called a 14k river bet on a
board, Mallu quickly mucking, leaving the former football collecting all three points and elevating him up the league standings as he showed the victorious Q-T.
Trickett/Gosney, two men enter, one man leaves. Welcome to Thunderdome.
Chaz Chattha is out, he thought he was covered but he had a few chips left but sadly couldn't manage a Bill Edler style comeback.

After a slow start, we're seeing more action now than a Die Hard boxset. Everywhere I look there's an all-in. One player who has been in and out more than the hokey-cokey is Sid Harris. After seeing him come over the top of Dennis Clough from the button (Clough folded), Sid found himself all in (or thereabouts) just a few hands later. With Sid raising it up preflop, Steve Craig made the call from the blind and both players saw a rainbow A-K-x flop. Steve checked, Sid pushed, and Steve called all in, leaving Sid with just 1,500 behind. On their backs, and Steve was well in front, his A-Q in good shape against Sid's K-J. With no help for Sid on the turn or river, he's left with a bowel of rice whilst Steve is now "dangerous" as Rocket Man Paul Gourlay so aptly put it.

Stephen Walmsley has been a busy bee of late. According to my source, he was all in not too long ago. "I jammed with a marginal hand," confessed Womble. "He had A-K," added Alan Vinnicombe. Pause. "As I said, a marginal hand."
As Womble folds his big blind to a preflop raise (standard), I continue to loiter patiently to see if he will be presented with the opportunity to limp from the small blind. After the button limps, Womble does indeed make up the blind and Mohammed Shoahebe checks his option. On a
flop, I sensed Womble was itching to lead out, but in the end he opted for a check, as did Mohammed, which allowed the button to take a stab with a bet of 2,000. Womble twitching in his seat momentarily before doing the wise thing and folding, before Mohammed popped in a reraise to take the pot. Wondering if Womble was contemplating a move, I tapped him on the shoulder: "It's too early to get excited," he replied.

Womble is OUT. A J-8-x flop, Womble holding Queens against Terrence Owen's T-9 and the rivered set our hero didn't want to see.
A nation mourns.
But Womble will return!!!

Anthony Shields has doubled through Surindar Sunar with
vs
. A
flop that was however followed by
and
but no queen came along on the
turn and the
river.
I've spent the last five minutes trying to convince the WPT magazine reporter that Kevin O'Leary has 5 different giraffees rather than one that changes colour.

As I make my way back to the pressroom, I am lured back by a chunky pot involving Justin Devonport and Stefan Raffay. I'm not sure what Devonport made it preflop, but it appeared as though he put out a standard raise from the button, was re-popped to 11,000 by Stefan on the big blind, before pushing all in for what was a total of 47,950. After contemplating his options for a minute or two, Stefan took a deep breath and announced call, before nervously tabling
. Justin breathed a sigh of relief and revealed
. However hard Stefan glared at the felt, no ten arrived on an
board and Justin was left to rake in a very meaty pot indeed. "I didn't want to see A-K," he said in the aftermath.

One latecomer who HAS arrived (Womble, where are you?!?!) is
Kevin
O'Leary
. He was rather upset about my giraffe revelations from yesterday, "I didn't think you were gonna post it, snoops, there's still some gullible people out there."
Im back this guy- he has an excellent sense of fashion

Anthony Shields has doubled through Surindar Sunar with
vs
. A
flop that was however followed by
and
but no queen came along on the
turn and the
river.
Before this encounter, Anthony Shields also doubled up through John Martinson. With Anthony pushing for around 11,000 from earlyish position, John Martinson counted out his stack and made the call. The action then folded around to Greg Hunt on the big blind who sighed before saying, "How many you got back?" Without too much hesitation, John confidently answered, "about 37,000". "Surely if you had a big hand, you would have pushed, put it all in," mused a puzzled Greg. "You might think that, yeah," replied John. "If I reraise, I think you pass," continued Greg. This time John didn't reply.
After sighing once more, Greg flipped over the
and made the fold, allowing John to show
, and Anthony
. The
flop had Anthony rising from his seat and heading towards the door, but the
quickly lured him back, whilst the
river confirmed his survival. "Argh!" exclaimed a frustrated John, realsing that his foe had hit one of just two outs.
"I would have called if you'd pushed," said John to Greg.

Thunderdome update:
Trickett button raises to 4k, Gosney raises to 14k from the small blind. Terry Owens flats this and Trickett folds
Gosney quickly check/folds to a 16k bet from Owens.
Proof that Kevin O'Leary has multiple giraffees and not one that changes colours. "Mine's not changing colour" complains Surindar Sunar.

Jonathan Raab is just about to compile the end of level ten chip counts, which we'll publish as soon as he emails them through. In the meantime, I can tell you that Lawrence has around 110,000, although he's getting a verbal ambushing from James Morgan as the two throw banter-based insults at each other.
One pot that raised more eyebrows than a Dwayne Johnson convention involved Lawrence and next door neighbour Terry Owens. I'm not sure how the action panned out preflop, but I think Lawrence called a reraise from Terry on a
flop before checking down a
turn and
river. Terry showed
for the rivered set, but it wasn't enough, as Lawrence had made a cheeky straight with
.
James, who had commented, "another big pot" as the turn was dealt, continued to banter with Lawrence, the latter of whom looked at yours truly and said, "I hope you're getting some of these quotes." James then turned to me and pleaded in a broad Liverpudlian (Is using the term 'Scouse' frowned upon?) accent, "Tell Lawrence to shut up will you before I shut him up myself."
All good banter... I hope. Gulp.

In an unraised pot, Roberto Romanello checks from the big blind, Dyfed Price bets and Stefan Raffay calls. Romanello now moves all-in for about 28k and tells Price, "Fold, you can't call... You may have the best hand, but I have the best draw... You can't call... I'm ahead... Fold... You're going to fold. You can't call with him behind you... Have you folded yet?... Come on..."
After about five minutes of this non-stop. Roberto calls a clock, and eventually Price folds with a second to go. Roberto goes to pick up his chips but the dealer points out Raffay is still in the hand.
"Oh, I'm not worried about him, he's folding, so can I take these chips? Come on, you can't call here. I know you're folding for sure."
Raffay makes the call with
for his tournament life and Roberto shows
for the flopped set. The
on turn knocks Raffay out of the tournament and the tabletalk of the Welsh-Italian Prohibition Chicago Thirties Gangster has won him another pot.

On what I believe was the very first hand back after the break,
Victor
Kaye
found himself all in preflop against
Roberto
Romanello
with
versus
. Although he was dominated, the
board saved Victor and kept him alive, leaving Roberto to muse, "Happens, it's poker." Roberto now has around 55,000.

After going into the break in third place,
Tony
Cascarino
has now leapt up to around 120,000, and thus second in chips, after eliminating a short-stacked Waseem Shahid. When I joined the action, the cards were on their backs with Tony's
just pipping Waseem's
. In what was a bizarre flurry of table taps, the board came
(Tony taps)
(Tony taps)
(Tony taps),
(Waseem taps)
(Waseem taps). What exactly each tap of the table represented, I'm not sure, but either way, the dramatic board teased Waseem, but ultimately favoured Tony, and the former is out.
