Really interesting field today, names and characters galore

Karabiner, hoping to win enough to offer Van Persie a larger Arsenal contract in the Summer to keep him from the clutches of Barca

[Chompy]

Chip count for Nirvana please?

Gl Kenny P.Raiser, prob looking like he's straight off the golf course as usual.

[TightEnd]

The least known of the top bracket of UK poker players. Impressed every time I see him play

[Mabstan]

Kev B, the finest thing to come out of Stoke since Rory Delap's long throw

[TightEnd]

PKR's Scott Shelley, WSOPE and WSOP winner

[TightEnd]

Taking the sponsorship to the nth degree, Jamie Burland wears a Black Belt with his suit

Jamie wins the award as the best dressed player here today. So he's won something already

[TightEnd]

I can't get any closer, which is a shame, as the middle back table has Sam Grafton, left of shot, and Laurence rivermanl Houghton centre of shot

[TightEnd]

OK so time to find some hands





Currently 491 of 508 remain

We are in Level 2 50-100, average is 15,550 (startlingly useful stat at this stage)


Once more into the breach

I'm upto 19k after getting 4 bet on a flop where I flopped top 2. Thankfully he gave up by the river!

Jack Allen is on my table because we are always drawn together no matter what. He is close to 30k after getting a 4 bet shove pre by AK when jack held the acesssssss and held.

Jamie Burland on my right, could be fun. He looks very smart all suited up, not played with him before.

Alex Martin opens to 225 in mid position

Atli Pratsarson (who sounds like a particularly daft brand of vinegar) calls in the big blind

   

Pratsarson check calls 325

check check on the  turn

check check on the  river

Alex smiles, flips  with an innate confidence, presumably happy that he is creating the right image for more important spots down the line

The table laughs "Now we know where you are at" says one (took you this long, I think!)

Pratsarson  wins the pot

I wont ask for any updates on Red as i imagine there is still a few hours left until he plays a hand.
