[NoflopsHomer]

come on Samurai!

Which one's Samurai, or have you been drinking? 

Nick, I guess.

David Jones shoves all-in preflop for 65,500. Trevor Reardon asked for a count, which is normally a worrying sign, but on this occasion BigTR made the fold and LeKnave lived to fight another day.

[NoflopsHomer]

Cristiano Blanco, whose stack has kinda fluctuated all day between 300k and 400k just called a Kevin O'Connell raise.



Blanco checks, O'Connell bets 25k. Call



Making absolutely every hand, Blanco checks, but this time folds when O'Connell bets 35k.

On the other table LeKnave gets a much needed walk.

Thirst update:

Number of coffee's I've had today -- 6
Number of pints of water -- 5

Number of coffee's Snoopy has had today -- 0
Number of pints of water Snoopy has had today -- 3/4 of one pint.

Yes, Snoopy runs on pure instinct.

He doesn't want to miss any action, so drinks nothing to minimize potty breaks.

What a guy.

[NoflopsHomer]

What a guy.

[NoflopsHomer]

Billy Defty has knocked out Lee McMillan after the latter lost a big chunk to Will Fry.

McMillan found himself all-in on the turn of a board with but was drawing dead against Defty's nifty set of Queens.

So McMillan goes out in 14th place winning £1,860. Prize jump for everyone else.

[snoopy1239]

As we witnessed an exit on one table, there was a virtual double through on the other. With Nick Hicks raising it up preflop, John Eames and Ints Grinbaums both called, leading to a 4-5-8 flop. Everyone checked, but on the queen turn, Eames led for around 20-25,000 and Grinbaums shoved. Hicks and Eames both passed, but it was a crucial pot for the Latvian who has really been struggling of late.

Thanks for all the hard work in doing the updates

[DesD]

Good luck to Dean Pearson and LeLimpet.

Loving the updates guys and the interviews, top bombing

Luke Marsh raises to 11k from UTG, Trevor Reardon makes the call in the big blind.



Check check.



Trevor checks, Luke bets 10k, Trevor makes it 40k. A fairly speedy call.



Now it's interesting, Trevor checks again and Luke checks behind and shows but Trevor shows to add more chips to his stack.

[snoopy1239]

Billy Defty raised UTG to 11,500 only for Cristiano Blanco to tank in the big blind. After a while, he made the fold, and was delighted to be shown the pocket rockets.

Top updates guys...

[snoopy1239]

Kevin O'Connell raised to 12,000 preflop and received two callers, one of whom was David Anderson on the button. On the flop, O'Connell continue bet 25,000 and Anderson flat-called. O'Connell fired another bullet on the turn, this time to the tune of 50,000.

As Anderson mulled over his options, O'Connell begged, "Pass, you're frightening me to death." He then proceeded to shake his hands before him and tighten the laces on his hood. Anderson called.

A river triggered a third bet from O'Connell, and it was the same figure as before, 50,000. "Pass!" he exclaimed. Anderson shook his head, perhaps believing that the 50,000 was a milker. "Oh, he's passing," continued O'Connell. As Anderson continued to dwell, O'Connell rose from his seat and pleaded, Don't slow-roll me, whatever you do."

Moments later, Anderson called and flipped , but O'Connell had the goods with for the flopped set and scooped the pot with delight. "I knew you had the under-pair," concluded Anderson. "Just wasn't sure if you'd hit the set or not."

Anderson down to 300,000.

[NoflopsHomer]

Nick Hicks raises to 10k from the cutoff, repop from John Eames to 30k and a call from Nick.



Check, 40k from Eames. Reluctant pass from Nick.


On the other table raise to 10.5k from Will Fry and he gets repopped to 25k from David Anderson. The EPT Budapest champion calls but check/folds on the flop, Anderson shows . Fry says he had a big Ace. I would've have preferred if he said he had a big Four though. It would've been more amusing.
