Elsewhere on a high powered table Karl Mahrenholz with only 3,000 left and Joey Lovelady down to 6,000 appear to have suffered at the hands of Andreas Hoivold with 20,000

Late entries include Carlo Citrone and Michael Ellis

Not a single female dealer so far, not a massage girl in sight. Unfettered grip on a blonde camera for the first time ever and nothing to shoot.

Steve Jelinek has clearly been going great guns and is up over 17,000 already

A hand played out just now where he limped under the gun for 100

Christopher Wright made it 300 in mid position and was called in turn by Reid, Hawkins, Martin Cousins, Jelinek and David Powley. Crikes!
