Finally I captured Surinder Sunar who doesn't seem to have deviated much after doubling through to 25k, perhaps down to 23k or so at this point...
Just to his left is recent bracelet winner and part of teh accomplished Winamax team Belgium Davidi Kitai, who is on 65-70k and doing very nicely at the moment.
Despite the fame he has accrued by winning that WSOP bracelet over the summer I was pleased to see he was awe-struck by my presence, appearing to gape open-mouthed at my arrival to the table...
...then I realised his eyes were focused on Snoopy who was standing behind me. DAMN THAT BEAGLE!
Stuart Taylor had been all-in several times before I joined his table to find out how it was going.

versus the other player's
.

looked very dangerous and the other player's railing fanclub burst into cheering as a
appeared on the turn to complete his nut flush.
Stuart just shook his head glumly, resigned to more grinding with a short stack...
