More chips for the 'Set Machine' that is John Eames. (That's my own personal name for him, every time I've seen him play or played in the same comp as him, he hits sets for fun).

He bet 11.1k on the river of a river, eliciting a call from the late arrival Zippy Aslam, who called with but mucked when Eames showed .

With the blinds at 150 and 300, we're starting to witness some meaty pots, players perhaps not as scared of being eliminated now as they would have been during the opening levels. One hand saw Billy Ngo and James Mitchell stick it all in preflop, the former of the two with his tournament life on the line. When the cards were revealed though, a split pot was on the cards (quite literally), with Mitchell's up against Ngo's . The flop teased a possible up the bummydoor runner runner flush, but it wasn't to be as the turn and river came and respectively to chop it up. Ngo remains on just under 10,000.

Meanwhile, in other news, Scott Byron took a nice pot with 9-9 versus 6-5 on a 5-6-7-2-2 board to shoot over the 40,000 mark, whilst Richard Berridge was caught cookie dipping by Howard Plant who called a 3,500 bet on the river of board. "Queen high," declared Berridge chucking his cards into the muck. "Missed a massive draw." Not surprisingly, queen high didn't quite cut the mustard as the Magician scooped with to see his stack jump to around the 35-40,000 level.

Just prior to those counts, Dewi James was all in, his bet of 1,500 on a board being re-popped to 4000 by Ricky Smith, before the Welsh Wizard stuck it up him by moving in for an extra 13,550. Smith lifted his cards an inch off the felt before saying, "Nice move in if you haven't got it" and showing . This put Dewi back up to his starting stack.

Not since my first sexual encounter has my jaw sunk so low, but I must confess to being flabbergasted when Pete Linton summoned me over declaring a new style of play and folding A-K preflop. A second glance revealed that there had been a raise and a reraise before him, Guntis Feldmanis opening for 850, only for Robert Whatsize to make it 2,275 the next seat down. With Linton ducking out of the way, the action stopped on Terry Fletcher, who I believe (I'm not positive) had limped from UTG. Fletcher called, Feldmanis passed and the two remaining players saw a flop.

With Fletcher check-calling 3,000, he then check-called the same figure on the turn before altering his approach and leading for 8,000 on the river, leaving himself absolute shrapnel behind. Whatsize sighed briefly before declaring, "Well, if you have the flush, I have to pay you off" and making the call with . Fletcher, meanwhile, raked in a nice pot with , much to the frustration of his opponent and the bemusement of the other players.
