OK I am lumping it on El Blondie. He is obviously lulling them into a false sense of security

[RED-DOG]

Did Snoop survive?

[Karabiner]

Good luck to my old mate Steve Wilsdon, who's bang in form having already won the opening event.

[Jim-D]

Not sure if i missed it in earlier posts but do u know the prize structure??

[hotdog]

m wernick he is a legend he will final

[Djinn]

Snoop not only survived but he's here and back for more...

The players are counting out their baggies of chips and it looks like they're playing right next to where we've set up so this should be about as live an update as it's possible to get.  Good luck blondeites!  (Snoop is off to hover vulture-like around Dave...)  Shuffle up and deal!

[ifm]

still curious as to how they pay out, can they transfer it to an account or give you a check/bankers draft?
Surely they don't pay out in cash

[Karabiner]

Cash or cheque usually.

[potted]

good luck 2 anthony  nicholls as i  have a small percentage of him

[snoopy1239]

Yep, I survived.

Hi all.

Just caught an early hand. DC, very short stacked and on the big blind, has just won an extra few thousand. Crucial for him at this stage.

N Hussain limped under the gun. The small blind called. DC checked.

After checking a board of:

 

the river came 

small blind and DC checked again. N Hussain bet 3k.

DC dwelled before calling the 3k and leaving himself with 2k.

DC turns over  .

N Hussain shows a stonecold bluff  As

DC creeping up gradually. Go the Colclough!!!

It appears that Big Shot Ian Fraser is a no-show with his short stack.  It's just not enough chips, just not enough money yatta yatta.  Apparently there was a big all-in yesterday (50k or so) with a similar reason behind it, "I don't want to come back tomorrow with x-few chips..."  Thanks to Junior for explaining the oddly empty seat.

[snoopy1239]

Dave Clark just pushed all-in after Alan Davies had raised to 4.6k.

Alan Davies passed.

No hands shown.

Out of the corner of my eye, I've just noticed DC pushing all-in.

Our roving reporter Jen is on the case.

How is everyone today?
