Dena of the Day



If the players ever need perking up, what could get them more excited than the sight of the beautiful Dena coming to deal them cards.

She's not just a pretty face though. The girl has skillz.

Look at her hand speed...so fast they're just a blur (not my lack of camera proficiency obv.)

Use the flash then obv!

Dinh Doat Le, shortly after winning a coin-flip with A-T against the pocket eights of Richard Wheatley.

"B*l*oc*s" was the short profanity used as a Ten hit the flop to secure Doat's double up.

The last time I flashed Dena she got upset.

Sam Trickett is gamely trying to accumulate while all around him stacks are congealing of 200k+.  Just now he played a hand out of position to Richard Ashby, check calling him until the river when the board read ....  Again Trickett checked, Ashby fired 18k and he (looking like he's going to get permanent poker worry lines in his forehead at such a young age) eventually called.

Ashby turned over the rivered gutshot and Trickett sort of double took but mucked eventually.

Chris Is No More, Man

Indeed, I arrived in the card room to see the Moomin all in with and Erik Svanes holding .

Board: ... wait for it...

Out goes the start of day chip leader. Sad Moomin.

Erik Svanes, by now possessor of a ludicrously big stack, raised again the next hand, and then called a push from Ariel Adda (he finally arrived shortly before dinner to claim his place).

Svanes:
Adda:

Board:

Thus Adda doubled up, and Svane ever so slightly dropped down -- but is still sitting extremely comfortably on a 300k monster stack. I declare him NOT the chip leader, though -- that title goes to Robin Keston, who incidentally has position on Svanes at the moment, who is possessor of a whopping 360k in chips.

But Mr Svanes:

ZOMG!

David McConnon busts in a deliciously sick manner (for everyone apart from him, but you know when you get a bit jaded with the watching and the seen-it-all scenarios etc.) holding on a x ...  board.  The turn, fair enough, saw him eager as anything to get his whole stack (c.50k) in, and opponent Stuart Nash went for it.

Nash: 

River:  Oh yes, the .

Hello, Dana here on Jen's in-the-cardroom laptop work station. It's all going crazy here, but just to let you know that Darshan Sami is OUT.

Also, Richard Wheatley is OUT after getting it in with against Richard Ashby's -- the board came down a rather cruel , and he's gone.

Photos of all this to follow when I make it back up to the press cave.

Dana again:

Dreadful things have also happened to Javed Abrahams. Pab (button) found himself all in with , while Abrahams (cutoff) was holding . No surprises on the board, and Pab doubled up to around 175k while Abrahams was crippled to just 30k.

All in the next hand, he was in a spot of bother with against small blind Gregory Howard's , but a fortunate board doubled him up to a slightly more manageable 65k or so to stay in the game.

Meteoric comeback catapults Javed to chip lead news please
