I suppose when the action folds round to you in the small blind, you have every right to think you're opponent in the big can't call a push, but on this occasion, Dominic Rossookh's timing was wayward. Shoving his short stack with , Dominic was quickly looked up by the of Dennis Clough, before spiking a four on a board to remain in the the comp.

Two hands later, Dennis himself pushed, this time from the button, but his raise went uncontested.

Like the door in the Big Lebowski, it can swing both ways.

The two above players see a blind vs blind flop of where all the chips go in. Dominic looks to be in good shape with his but he's drawing to a miracle runner runner because Dennis has flopped a bigger flush with . Shockingly he can't catch a combination of the with the or and Dennis Clough doubles through.

Meanwhile on the other table Roberto Romanello has knocked out shorty Mohammed Shoahebe with vs , the board coming to leave us with just 11 players left and the final table almost in sight.

Out in 12th is Dominic Rossookh. Playing in his first main event (I hear £300 was his next biggest buy-in), Dominic performed heroically to make it into the money, and subsequently the final two tables, but ultimately met his match in Tony Cascarino. With the action folding round to Tony in the small blind, the former international footballer made the inevitable shove before being called by Dominic in the big.

Rob Sherwood has been stealing pretty much with impunity on his table, with no-one wanting to take him on. The occasion show of an ace to say, "No really, I only raise with very strong hands," seems to convince the other players that his raises are geunine and not at all blatant thievery.

On the other table, it's very akin to four players trying to negotiate an Ali Mallu minefield, as at any moment, he could just explode in your face. One hand, he just open shoved for about 250k causing much sighing and folding from the four other players.

Play now has actually finished for the day and all ten players will return tomorrow. It's a bit odd but we're now restarting once more at 2pm.

In which case it's time for that fork...
