[TightEnd]

I see Fran viewing the thread, so for her

Tony Phillips has drawn a tough corner of his talbe, to the right of Surinder Sunar and Sunny Chattha

Style wise, Tony seems to have adopted the approach I saw a lot from Neil Channing in these sorts of events...frequently raises to 125 pre-flop in level one..and soon that becomes like a limp, building pots for when he hits hands

First sight of a photograph-able dealer (I would have photographed male dealers too, but trust my judgement on this) this event!

[TightEnd]

Breaking news. Buffet today is fish and chips. OK, Front of queue strategies being formulated as we speak

[TightEnd]

James Browning behind Syed Zaidi

Mr Zaidi seems to have come straight from his day job as a Snooker referee. If not that his gloves are for hygiene purposes, slightly offset by the Biro pen he is chewing

My moneys on the awop boys being first

[TightEnd]

Toby Lewis. I was mightily impressed by Toby at Manchester. Great game and a thoroughly nice guy too. Signed up to blonde as 810 of clubs, now a BBP grader and destined to go places IMHO. Appallling hoodie though with a cartoon character on the front. If I could hold a camera still you'd see that

[Acidmouse]

give the man a drink so he stops shaking

Good luck to Sam Trickett, Tony Phillips, Stu Rutter and Toby Lewis. I'm sure one of these will final!

Top job Tighty!

Assorted snippets

Jon Kalmar is down to 2,000, the beneficiary appearing to be his neighbour Finn Stewart sitting on a 20,000 stack

James Browning has recovered to 12,000. Tels me he had nut hearts in that big pot earlier

Also on the Phillips/Chatta/Sunar table is London GUKPT winner Martin Silke

Allan MacLean has won a big pot off Mark Lowe, now short-stacked and Chris Dowling who went with him, after a pre-flop raise was called in four places on a  flop. MacLean's 3,000 turn bet took it down after the  came down

JJ Hazan of Gutshot fame bet 1,500 after the river on a  board. Chris Wood makes it 3,500 and JJ eventually gives up

Steve Kirk gave me a look as I walked past as if to say "don't ask", so I didn't.

Oh and I'm sure a min-cash is on the cards for LeKnave if he doesn't win the thing

[TightEnd]

Gary Banks has been in action, surprise surprise

He raised to 350 in early position and picked up a caller on the button with William Haughey..playing today after all.

flop  and the the young one checked to the ex Celtic director who bet 600, called

the  was checked by both, as was the  river

Banks turns over  beating Haughey's
