Anthony Nicholls knocks out Pete Haslam over two hands

Firstly with 6,000 in the middle on a A-5-6-9 board, Haslam check-called for 3,500. River 3, Haslam check calls the 6,000 bet from Nicholls who shows A6 for two pair, Haslam mucks.

Nicholls then took the rest. On  5-9-3, two clubs, Haslam made it 6,000, Nicholls called. Turn K, Haslam shoved for 5,000 with A-5, called by the of Nicholls, and river 10c sent Haslam to the rail.

After having a hard time from Andrew Johnson all day, Simon Hyde has managed to double through him. Hyde made it 1,000, Johnson to 8,400, Hyde shoved for 23,000. Ronaldo came over to tell me "Hyde is bluffing, write it down". Johnson finally found a call with 22, to be against the AK of Hyde. River Ace, and Hyde is up to just under 50,000.

That Ronaldo's good

A quick run through of the 87 remaining players, as I just spent 15 minutes touring the tables without seeing a significant hand

23    8    Paul Jackson
23    9    Julian Thew

MacDonald has over 70,000. Jackson over 60,000. That apart this is a table of under average stacks

25    2    Neil Giblin
25    3    Michelle Bennett
25    4    Maria Demetriou

25    8    Jake Cody
25    9    Marcin Milde

Butters and Milde recently moved to this table with breaks, and they have the stacks ahead of Comer and Giblin. Cody has made progress as a late starter

26    3    Paul Zimbler

33    6    Paul Skipper
33    7    Jack Allen
33    8    Paul Ho
33    9    Gary Orme

Not the greatest of table breaks for Paul Hohoho. Mitford, Woodley and Conroy are three of the top ten stacks, sat in a row the other side of the dealer from him.

37    6    Mark Wates
37    7    Anthony Pyatt

38    1    Anonymous
38    2    Simon Hyde
38    3    Mark Roberts
38    4    Willie Tann
38    5    Mohammed Istakhar Sadiq

It's the Hyde and Johnson show as their stacks oscillate with their various confrontations.
