Rumit is OUT - he eventually made a move with pocket tens, ran into AK and lost his small stack attempting to double it through.

Trevor Reardon's stack is looking like an unhealthy 5,000 too, while every time I pass that table Dave Finney is moving in for about 15,000 and not being called.

Lots of stuff from Jen and Snoops to report, but they are both suffering laptop problems. Much as I'd like to stay logged in, I feel I must donate my machine to the official updating team, so adios for now.....hang on, Jen is back in, Snoops monitor looks promising, so I'll put that donation on hold until we know if they're both up and running again.

[AlrightJack]

Hurrah, they're both back up and running.

A 40k pot was just taken down on a  flop by James Atkin (it looked like his opponent was yet again Alan Mclean).  Almost immediately afterward, he (Alan) got involved in another monster pot, this time with newly-deposed chip leader Anthony Nicholls.  Anthony limped preflop, then called Alan's 7k raise on the button.  He bet out on the flop though, 10,000 when it came  , and couldn't keep the extra 9.100 from going in when Alan Mclean pushed his whole stack.  He showed  , and Alan's  were good.  Non-stop action over there...

Laptop has caught a second wind and the sonopy snopster is back!

We have a new chip leader. Luke Patten won a 110k pot with AA v Dave Smith's QQ.

Big Dave Smith now down to 12.5k.

Just noticed some other railers. Jack the Greek & Pascal Perrault. So both are OUT.

[tikay]

Thats very kind of you JR.

What's the prob swith the lappies - the Vodafone card?

See, leave the kids on their own, & they mess up.

[Djinn]

Here's Trevor Reardon looking for a chance to double up.

Mine's OK now afer the barred/unbarred/barred again fiasco.  Yours went haywire for an hour but Snoopy is persevering and we're alright.  Calm calm, no need to rush back over and pretend you can fix it

[snoopy1239]

Just spoke to I KNOW IT (Craig Wildman).

He eventually went out with KQ v Ali Mallu's 89 on a Q-9-9 flop.

He had previously taken a hit with AJ v 33 on an A-J-3 flop and was struggling ever since.

[snoopy1239]

Andy Gomm has 18k.

[ifm]

D Shearer please

[Djinn]

Mickey Wernick   30,000
Ali Mallou            35,000 (down from 50,000 a few minutes ago)

And here comes James Atkin!  Somehow Carlo got all his many chips - oh, and here's how:

Carlo limps on the button, James calls with  , the bb then raises 2.5k with both players following him in.
Flop: 
James goes for the minimum check-raise on Carlo (who bet 10,000 and pushed in after said check-raise) and went for it with his big draw.  Carlo held  !

Turn and river were the irrelevant 8 3 (i.e. not clubs) and the young hellraiser is over in update corner giving us the story of how he nearly had SO many chips...
"It's hard to put him on Kings, and it's such a perfect flop for me..."  Look familiar, Tikay?
