[TightEnd]

8k in the middle on 
Salfi bets 6,100, Gascoigne to 15k.
Salfi jams for about 85k, Gascoigne has him covered.
So many chips involved in the pot, Gascoigne shows us  and I believe was pretty close to the fold button
He then finds a call.
Salfi - 
  on the turn leaves Salfi dead, Gascoigne huge chip lead now on about 200k

"If I win this, then next week the UKIPT too, I will be up for the year" says Ian Gascoigne, laughing

[Karabiner]

Final total today was 317

256 players and 61 re-entries

I can see 500 total tomorrow.

Could hit a £120,000 prize pool, incredibly

I'm really tempted just to get a run in as it were before next week, although there is a lot of other stuff going on.

Tan doesn't want his picture taken, I am afraid

Will have to go all ninja to snap him after the next outdraw

Linton doing well on about 60k
He says "I keep raising with rubbish but you keep calling me with worse"

Bedi 7,000

Aulja shove for 20,000 more

Bedi calls with  and is beating

 

  turn gives Aulja the nut flush draw but he bricks the  river

Bedi up over 80,000 and Aulja out

Now into Level 11, with 2 full levels left to play today.
In total we had 256 individual entries, 61 re-entries meaning it got 317 entrants today.
It only needs to get 350 entrants tomorrow to hit the Guarantee, which in my reckoning should get smashed.
108 left, blinds now at 500/1000/100, average at 44k, Ian Gascoigne still overwhelming chipleader, up to about 220k now.

Stop the presses, DTD want to play until only 10% of the field (32 players) are left tonight

Marvellous news, likely to be 13-14 levels rather than the normal end of Level 12 finish
