nice job by the roving reporter

Yes, many thanks to DesD up in the press eyrie bringing you the moving images from this tournament!  Today you need not wait for Junglecat to splice together a creepy Gif of Pab - Des to the rescue.

Please look away if you are easily offended.

Mr Stuart "Sexy Boy" Rutter:

Not sure why he's doing that, but possibly he may be trying to attract the attention of one of the loveliest members of the press, Mr Phil Heald of AWOP.

Tsk. It's nothing to do with the flesh, it's
"you thought I was the hats and scarves specialist, but I need to show you this lovely belt too"

In a flurry of players generally being distracted by fishcakes and chicken appearing at the tables, Michael Tureniec has doubled up courtesy of bag-wielding William Martin. Martin raised to 6k form the cutoff and Tureniec shoved from the big blind; after a moment's thought, Martin called the extra 26k and they were on their backs.

Stu might be the Accessory Monarch of the tournament, but I have found a hitherto uncommented upon clothing gem (I can't believe Dana didn't notice - sometimes something is so special it goes right round to Unnoticed again)...

William Martin has a green German flagged army style jacket with a graffiti-style painting of Tupac on it.  Just wow.

A raising war between Stuart Rutter (cutoff) and Pab (small blind) culminated in the Sexy Boy moving all in and Pab finding himself in a quandary. He asked for a count, and the dealer told him it was 70k to call. Eventually, though he said he was very, very close to calling, he passed, leaving himself on 155k while Rutter's new stack amounted to around 90k. All good.

However, Stuart came over to us at the press table a little while later to share some extra info with us. He informs us that he was holding pocket aces and was itching for a call, and when the dealer told Pab it was 70k to call he/she had actually made a mistake - it was in fact just 60k to call. "I didn't want to say because it would have given too much away, but it was out of order," he laments. Could have been a very different ending to that story.

yeah, he just texted bout this. I think he has every right to be very pissed off. He shoved for 42k more over pabs 18k reraise, meaning the correct numbers may have made pab feel priced in - getting close to 2 to 1 - dealer's mistake/(lazyness?) could have just cost him badly. ridiculous

Excellent updates and Video's folks, well done!

Tureniec is the Swede who finished 2nd at EPT London. Nice chap.

The blistering opening to the day has slowed to a more sedate pace now with the average stack at over 30 big blinds and the money spots and final table just about coming into view over the hill.

With exits at a premium, I thought I'd snap a few shots of the final four tables for your enjoyment.

Table Moorman



Table Nash/Pab/Rutter



Incidentally a few moments ago, Stu shoved over the top of a Pab raise to 15k by another 60k. Pab thought about it, then laid it down when the dealer apparently incorrectly told him it was 70k more.

"It was very close though" he admitted, which upset Stu, given that he had Aces. "They should really get that right"

Table Trickett/ Surinder



Table Cascarino/ Green



Notice roving reporter Des Duffy in the thick of the action in the background...

Big hand to the updaters and to Des for the videos.  Top notch stuff all round.

[Djinn]

Not sfn to be Moorman, all the time.

Just now, no fewer than three limpers came in for 2,400 on Chris Moorman's big blind.  He now quickly raises to 12,000.  William Martin quickly passes, but the second limper, Michael Tureniec, now moves all in for 46,700.  Pass back to Moorman, who although possibly not expecting this was happy to call pretty fast with his .

Tureniec held , and straight away the flop saw Moorman looking a little deflated, with no help on later streets.  Shaking his head, he counted out the call which leaves him with 52,000.

Message From Richard Ashby To One "Miss Chufty":

Are you coming down before he runs out of chips or are you staying at home to watch X Factor?

That is all.
