Some Chip Counts From Just After The Dinner Break (OMG Tasty Chicken)
Cristiano Blanco (more on him shortly): 4.5k

Hahah thanks

P.s. I'm going to Nando's when I finish here, you can be sure. Cra-ving.

Chris Ferguson is OUT. Not that Chris Ferguson alas, otherwise I would put in some tasteless pun here, like Jesus Crucified or Jesus Nailed or Why Has The Board Forsaken Me or some such, but a different Chris Ferguson. Either way he is no more, check-raising all in to Jim Reid's 3k bet on a with pocket Kings; Reid, holding for top set, was only too happy to call.

Turn and river: a king-free and

Cristiano Blanco is a bit short at the moment. He shoved his last 2k or so across the line on the turn of a board, but got no callers and upped his meagre stack slightly to around 5k, still munching on a lollipop.

To Gab:

He says hi back, and he can't come to the party because even if he's short he's still going to be making final table.


Re. Nandos:

I recommend a half chicken, plenty of extra extra hot sauce on the side, and the ratatouille. Mmm.

[danafish]

Concerning the exit of Chirag Patel:

He open-shoved the flop, and Matthew Mckinlay was only too delighted to call.

Patel: for a lacklustre straight draw
Mckinlay: for the made house

Turn: oh the cruelty, there's the straight but it's no good

River: an irrelevant

[NoflopsHomer]

Mickey Wernick is out, he bet 2,000 on the river of a board but was set in by Sami Yusuf, Mickey ended up putting his last 2,500 in but was shown for his troubles.

"It's a sick game," said Mickey later, revealing he was holding a flush.

Cristiano has also drawn a Blanco. He unsuccessfully flipped jacks against A-Q with an ace on the turn sending the Italian back to London.

Sam Price, Martin Green and Chirag Patel are also all out.

Thanks for the update, even though I guess it's going to be the last one for today!

P.s. I will most likely go for exactly what you just said in Nando's and will make sure to let you know how awesome it was eating it.

Im out of here now,

thanks for the grand updates and much love to all.

Bai!

Dana  tell Snoopy to keep it going and wish him the best of luck.

Dana  tell Snoopy to keep it going and wish him the best of luck.

I shall do, he's on a very tough table with Dave Colclough, James Akenhead and Jerome Bradpiece, but he is definitely holding his own. I saw him reraise James Akenhead preflop and make James lay it down. He's now up to 19.5k. Go, my 2%!

[danafish]

hows Alex Martin going please

He opted for the chicken burger (he actually asked for the chicken pitta, but received the burger and was too hungry to complain) and fries at Nandos, and seemed to have slightly more than the average 15k when I was last in the cardroom. More detailed updates and hopefully terrible photos coming up shortly.

Btw I am taking this opportunity to apologise for the relative slowness of updating; I am experiencing a few technical difficulties here with the internet, grrr.

Mr Kiem Huynh is up to 21k after calling a 1.2k bet from Carl Limbert on the turn of a board, and then minimum-raising Limbert's 1.8k bet on the river. Limbert called, and unhappily showed to Huynh's full house.
