Praz up to 450,000 or so. Not that he knows what to do with a big stack of course....

[TightEnd]

wayne rideout of Team Sky Poker raises the cut off, Jamie Roberts 3 bets the button

Wayne 4 bet shoves A-Q having raise folded twice before that orbit

Roberts snaps with Aces and flops the case Ace for good measure to knock Wayne Rideout out 13th

[TightEnd]

Andros Spyrou pushes 9-9

Banzi finds JJ behind calls and flops top set

Banzi up to 600,000 and challenging for the chip lead

Spyrou out 12th

[TightEnd]

Jamie Roberts opens for for 16,500

Gary Lindsay 41,000

Prested 4 bet shoves with A-J

Roberts passes

Lindsay snaps with AA

Aces hold, Lindsay had 320,000

Prested had 320,000, strangely

So Prested is out 11th and Lindsay has had a remarkable recovery from 4x bb two hours ago to 660,000 now

[TightEnd]

bubble for the final table

Short stack is Kimber

[TightEnd]

Hand for Hand here so things have understandably slowed down again

£4590 for 10th

£5510 and up for 9th onwards

Jeff Kimber has 70,000 or so at 4-8k

Chip leaders Rudling, Lindsay, Banzi, Loeser in that order

Mahrenholz, Roberts, Kyriacou, Durnsford and Wong round out the field, in that chip count order

[TightEnd]

Judges..ie me..v impressed with Loeser today

some investigation reveals he cashed for $50k in the WSOP main last year, 2nd in an EPT London side this year, won a Bulgarian event for over 50k European this year too

A name to watch

[TightEnd]

Meanwhile Karl and Praz are set to reprise the first ever GUKPT event in Bolton in 2007, when they finished 1st and 2nd

Jamie Roberts being railed by his proud Dad Ben

Chris Kyriacou talking non stop, nothing new there

Durnsford very quiet and understated. Tight and conservative

Lindsay being railed by a girlfriend with bright red hair and the strongest Glasgow accent since Rab C Nesbitt was on telly

Wong is ebullient. A lively character

Rudling polite and consistent. Not seen him around for a while, but was a consistent UK circuit winner in 07 and 08



Tomorrow's final should be awesome, but who will miss out?

Stay tuned
