Brown shows 

Psaras  for the rivered gutshot to scoop

"It's all about timing" he tells the table

[TightEnd]

Andrew Psaras two hands later, A-A UTG and no callers

--------------------------------------------

Chris Kiefert 1,500 UTG

Rick Trigg 3,800 in the small blind

----------------------------------------


Stephen Lovatt 2,000

Julian l;eads 3,800 on the  river

Lovatt reluctantly passes

[TightEnd]

Into the last level of the night on 1a

33 of 64 remain

Level 8 blinds 400-800-75

Average 29,100


In Level b currently 77 runners with entries still open for one more level

Therefore 141 runners total


I suppose 141 is "par". I'd be slightly disappointed, not sure what you feel about it?

- Cannes
- Poker Economy
- Lack of satellite qualifiers Online for this series
- Low spend local player market

are all factors I suppose

[Amandaw]

Paul Romain is a man in form

Chopped the DTD Deepstack last weekend

3rd in the £300 side here

Supported all the while by an army of facebook supporters, one of whom looks great in a white bikini (that's the only clue you are getting)

yeh that was me come on The Romain

[TightEnd]

Steve Jelinek out

Shove A-8

Thomas Wright call 8-8 and the pair holds

[AndrewT]

Paul Jackson

points at Rick Trigg with 65,000 and tells me

"If I ran as good as he does for aweek, I'd be living on a desert Island"

Guy Johnson would say 'If we ran as good as Rick, Paul definitely would be on a desert island.'

[TightEnd]

Paul Jackson shove 8,000/10x bb with 77

Rick Trigg, who else today, calls 8-8

flops an 8 for good measure to knock actionjack out

[TightEnd]

Craig Burgess raises pre in late position.

Unremarkable enough

Carl Williams calls in the blinds and check calls a c-bet on

5-4-5 with 6-6

Burgess then shoves 24,000 into 11,000 on the 9 turn

Williams calls him

Burgess, in a real double take moment, has J-3 clubs

river 7

Burgess out in a real

[TightEnd]

Watching Rick Trigg play it really is virtuoso stuff

Yes he has a big stack, Yes he is reputedly running well

but man, can he use his stack

Two illustrations


Alex Mah opens to 2,175 at 400-800

Trigg 5,700 in position

Mah calls

flop 



Mah chec folds to 7,400

Trigg tells him he can look at either and Mah flips  .

  Ax or  then?

Trigg min raise

Huang folds

[TightEnd]

Carlo Citrone raises to 1,900

Helena Brett calls in the big blind and

Donk lead-shoves 9,000 on A-K-10

In One Bee....

Claypole Conning out

"The worst two hours of my life" (what, it beats the journey up with the Sicilian?!)

an example

Early position limper

Lots of other limpers

Claypole  limps

Skalie raises to 450

3 callers, Claypole then peels

flop 

checked all the way to Skalie who bets half the pot

A raise to 4,000 from a middle limper and Claypole jams for 9,000

Skalie passes 

Caller has 

Claypole turns  for the straight

The set of Nines doesn't reallise he is beat....and is anti-funking hearts

River 4 gives a full house to virtually bust Claypole
