I was taking a photo, in the foreground, of Luton's Mohammed Asif just after he doubled up with Aces against AK on king high flop

I ended up taking a better picture of Lalit's older brother Chandra Khajuria, fiend of the bigger Luton cash games

One hour dinner break. Photo upload speeds so slow that I am nowhere near the buffet queue. FML


Full chip counts being collated now

Play resumes


The lady in the top photograph is one of today's players, now knocked out. Olga Brzezinska

Olga, I discovered, represented Poland at Rhythmic Gymnastics in the Olympics eight years ago before emigrating and becoming a professional cyclist in the Women's tour de France

She moved to England on retiring and discovered poker. At first only playing online she began to venture a little further afield only recently.

She takes up the story

"It was in Nottingham last weekend and I enjoyed my first live tournament, particularly the kindness shown to me by one player, though that player kept moving around and hogging the limelight. I resolved to play again this week. Imagine my delight to now be so closely situated to the father of that player who so kindly showed me how not to play poker. Girgy his name was"

George White, Abhi Khaitain and Sida Yuen


George White factoid that interests me but possibly not you. He discovered chip and pin technology and sold it to the banking sector. Toasty life.
