Some statistical points of order. Sometimes stats of these nature can be a little tedious so I have interspersed them with some random observations.
* 1st off the confirmed number of runners was 106.
* Of these 80 combatants remain, including Tikay(20k+), M3boy (very short now) and Red Dog (15 plates of pie and chips to the good)
* Jen has spent much of the last hour using photoshop to cut pictures of herself out to paste into obscene scenes of Ron Jeremy films. A very worrying development...(**)
* We are 15 minutes into level five which is a 100 200 25 level.
* Red Dog had pocket nines early on when he flopped top set and cleverly got his opponent to pass Aces.
"'Ow did 'e pass?!?" he asked me in amazement.
* 10 places will be paid.
* 1st place will receive the grand total of £11,130.
* The
DT
D
burger, complete with burger, steak, bacon, cheese and onion, is still awesome.
Incidentally on a tangential note, as of next month this
DT
D
£300 will become a regular ranking event, ensuring its popularity is sure to rise.

Time for a quick table chip leader watch...
First off we have the mecurial, occasional controversial but now newly chipped up M3boy! After relating how he had suffered in the early levels and was nursing a shortstack, his fortunes have turned round in dramatic fashion such that he is now the chip daddy of his table with 23,000 of DTD's finest chips. Good work sir.
That candlit dinner with Tikay clearly worked wonders...
The adjacent table boasts Philip Toomer as the chip leader, though this is one of the shortstacked tables as he has a mere 12,000 to his name.

Paul Pitchford holds the honour of current table chip leader on table 12, leading the charge with a veritable abundance of chips, a whopping 38,000, which is good for the chip lead of the entire comp as things stand.
Here is our illustrious leader with his marvellous stack.
Next up we have table 11, where a man short on syllables but long on chips heads the ravenous pack of poker players looking to relieve him of his chips. No one appears more keen to take on this task than Blonde's own Frances Creed, taking time out from munching her sandwich to eye his chips covetously.
Te Ng Gao -- 24,625

As you will notice from Le Chat's Table Leader Watch, there are some tables with a shedload more chips on them than others. That of Alan Stokes (featured presently in skyblue cardigan) has not only his formidable stack, but that of early leader Demetrios Nikolaidis. Neither of those two seem afraid to get it into the middle, and just now Stokes limp-called a raise from Nikolaidis to 1,800 (blinds now 150/300).
Flop:
Stokes bet out 2,500, and after a slow count out, found Nikolaidis raising to 5k. Stokes considered the minraise for a while, even at one point picking up a big stack of green 1k chips and rolling them around in his hand in a way even I on the rail found intimidating. But he passed.
I then spent about 20 minutes watching Ralph 'Karabiner' Shalson, but he seemed determined to avoid action during that time. He still has c.8k though.

Moving onto table 23, we find Mark Roberts, with a formidable stack of 30,500 to his name. Here he is, coiled like a cobra, ready for action, sporting a impressive cloudy sky-blue cardigan/ sweater.
Mazhar Latif is the man in charge of his table. He may look slightly uptight from this picture but this is just a touch of camera shyness and as soon as the camera was off him, he jovially backslapped his entire table before jumping up on the felt and performing the can-can, kicking avalanches of his newly won chips all over the place.
Ok so that didn''t happen, but he is doing well nonetheless...

Here we have Dave Smith, who has spurned his traditional dress of black suit with comedy yellow squirty flower for a red cardigan and shirt combo that have served him well thusfar as he has a bountiful stack of 34,000.
Table 35 sees Alan Stokes as the current chip leader, who lost a bet with his wife, and was forced to turn up today in her dress. I assume. Anyway here he is, his questionable sartorial choices contrasting sharply with his impressive chip stack of 32,500.
Go go Stokie!
Finally we have Nick Carter on table 25, with 33,000, looking ready to take on the world, or at least the small portion of it who have ponied up 300 notes to do battle today...

Fran Creed is OUT - having dropped to 6,375, she found a reasonable shove spot in the big blind with
- but this was after Kevin Pearce and Tom Cairns had shown interest to the tune of a raise to 2,600 from Kevin and a small blind Tom call. Both players then called her all-in; she put on her coat.
They quickly checked all the way down until the board read:
at which Fran's Tens were flipped, and both of the others kind of froze momentarily, before Tom Cairns showed some disappointing Jacks to knock her out.

Karabiner plays hand!
Of course, I miss it, and get there to see him stacking up his new 17k stack.
Alan Stokes tries to order tea off me!
He waves me over, as often happens, and I say, "I think you want her, I am afraid," nodding towards the valet currently taking an order from someone else at the table.
"You're as good looking as she is, and she's busy. I've got a big order."
Clearly not one to be put off ordering food from anyone female, he had clearly taken hold of the wrong end of the stick. Not one to turn down a tip, I handed him a menu, before backing slowly off, at which point the valet was ready to help him out.
Rob Allen Made to Sweat for Double up!
Neil Giblin performed the dwell of the tournament after calling an early position raise to something like 1,800 and then finding Rob Allen behind him moving in for 4,800 total. The original raiser passed, but he took a long time to make the call with what turned out to be
, in bad shape against Allen's
. No outdraw, and a relieved-looking Allen was saved from the felt precipice.

Sick Kular
Sarbjit Kular and Matt Russell just tangled in uncompromising fashion for a monster pot. Kular made it 3k or so UTG, only to find Russell shipping it in for his entire 17k stack over the top from UTG+1.
It was a big call that required a big hand to make but Sarbjit was in no mood to back off calling the bulk of his stack off with pocket Queens and when Matt flipped his cards it transpired he held a slim advantage over Russell's A-K.
This advantage rapidly dissipated though as a King spiked to leave Sarbjit clutching at a two-outer shaped straw, but the rest of the flop was much like the annual car parking awards ceremony - no ladies in sight.
Ok, so I'll prob get some hate posts about that so apologies for my blatant sexism. Moving swiftly on...
Here are the duo, posing in classic contrast as Russell is all smiles and laughter as he stacks up his chips whilst a glum Kular waits patiently to find a spot to double his micro-stack up into a mini stack.

Outdraw, re-outdraw, re-re-outdraw news now:
Scott Genever (pictured with the irrepressable small smile of the player who's come out doubling through when he could easily have been rail-propping) got his short stack all in on a flop of
. Neighbour with a much less mirthful expression Kevin Pearce (the one on the right of the photo, I know it's hard to tell) called with a perfectly reasonable
.
Turn:
River:
Oh the rollercoaster. Looks like they both make the last level of the day.

The Tikay Train Trundles Triumphantly Onward
Tikay has been padding his stack regularly with raises, his latest coup a raise to 1,500 which caused his table to all fold before he flipped over the pretty looking
.
"If I keep getting hands, I've got to keep raising!" he said, with possibly just a trace of a sneaky undertone of latent intent lacing his normal dulcid tones.
Possibly a few cheeky raises might be coming from Tikay's direction in the next few levels and he may be a little more reticent in revealing his hands at that point!
Just a guess though!

Tikay Train Derailed...
Berridge raised with Q-9, and Tikay took a shot with A-J. No good - two pair graces the board.
Literally seconds later - it must be the very next hand - and Tikay is circling the table shaking hands, and someone is saying, "Sorry." Uh-oh. OUT. He says, "I thought there was no way I was not going to get to Day Two. Then
Richard
Berridge
has this accident against
Paul
Garnham
, and then moves in every hand for a whole orbit." Here comes the Q-9 story. "I moved in blind the next hand, and got a blind call -
vs my
." He took his shot, and missed. Now looking a little shell shocked, he comes to chat with equally railbirding Red-Dog.

Final Exit of the Day:
Supershort stacked Robert Ballou moved in for his 6,700 over the top of a raiser, who autocalled with
. Ballou's
had a good chance...but instead sent him to the rail as the board four-flushed him out
. A final painful moment before play stopped with just four tables remaining....

And with that snippet from the Jen-meister, proceedings have drawn to a close here at DTD and they are baggin' and taggin' as we speak.
We will put up the final chip counts as soon as we have them in our greedy little mitts but for now, let me thank you for joining us here at DTD as a typical feast of poker has been served up, replete with all the lovely trimmings we have come to expect.
34 of the initial 106 players are still remaining and they will re-convene to play out to a finish at 3 o clock tomorrow.
It should be a cracker and we hope you join us to witness the thrilling denouement of the tournament.
Who's your money on?
We'll see you then but for now from myself and Ron Jeremy's future co-star Jen Mason,
Bye guys
