LeKnave just have it stuck in his eye by Daniel Haglund. Haglund raised to 600 from midposition, and LeKnave reraised to 2,150 from the cutoff. After a think from Haglund, he repopped to 5,300 and LeKnave had to check his remaining 20k before folding to anothe 4-bet.

I can't recall if Floppy mentioned it before, but there was a crowd-gasping hand earlier on between Tony Nicholls and the chap pictured below, Richard Fuller. The latter was short-stacked and all in with tens, but looking in bad shape against Nicholls' jacks. A J-T-x flop teased, but ultimately looked to be the end of Fuller until a ten on the end for rivered quads sent the onlooking rail into an erupted frenzy. Nicholls never quite recovered from that blow, and later departed in 171st place.

On the table nearest to us, Gurpreet Nagi, who I believe finalled the monthly freezeout recently, has just bitten the dust. He was all in with against Dennis Troake's but was unable to survive a clinical board.

Tom McCready is down to just several thousand now. He raised it up with pocket tens and received two callers, which led to a 9-9-8 flop. Tom bet out, only for one of his opponents to push over the top for a 4,500 more. With the draws on board, Tom made the call but found himself up against A-9, and unable to improve.

Neil Channing once described Trevor Reardon as the most solid player in poker, both in the way he plays and his general appearance over all. Trevor is currently hovering around his 20,000 starting stack, but it got me to thinking. Which other players could you describe as the solid personified. Mickey Wernick is clearly a solid player, but is he stocky enough physically to warrant the full package. Thomas Dunwoodie is another one, also Jeff Burke perhaps.

If you can think of the ultimate 'solid' player, then let me know. I know he's out there...

On a flop, Kevin O'Connell led for 800 in a multi-way pot and Ricky Smith (below) made it a total of 2,500 to play. Everyone folded, apart from O'Connell who made the call. On the turn, O'Connell checked, Smith bet 4,000 and, after a brief dwell, O'Connell made the fold. Smith showed the .

"But what was with it?" asked O'Connell.

"Could have been a nine."

Tino Libertino or Steve holden

Are they more solid than Trevor Reardon though?
