Blonde Matt Harris limps in with pocket tens after an UTG limp from a fairly passive player, looking for a shove from short stack Fred Wise on his left.

Fred wisely folds, SB calls. BB also in.

Flop 

Bingo!

BB kindly leads out for 2,500. UTG calls.

Matt raises to 6800.

This doesnt deter the BB who calls, but UTG is forced to bow out gracefully.

The two of them see a blank turn, and the BB checks to Matt who fires out 11K.

BB shoves all in for 25K, which Matt duly calls.

BB has 

Matt's set of tens is smashing him anyway but he rivers quads just to seal the deal.

BB is gone, Mitch "min cash" Johnson takes his seat. Matt now up to 130K.

I love doing updates when the forum is quiet.


Talking to myself for ten hours straight - it's just like being married, but without any messy sheets.

Turk is on 170K.

He asked me who the chip leader is - I asked him why he wanted to know as it wouldnt make a bit of difference to his game, and he replied he just wanted to know how many Albert Sappiano had as he wants to take them all.

You'd assume Albert was out of sight for him to ask this wouldn't you?

No. Albert is sat practically side by side to Turk, on the next table and clearly withnin earshot.

Albert incidentally has about 150K.

Blonde Matt H makes it 2200 with pocket fives: Fred Wise shoves 14800 with A 10.

Matt makes the call and sees a flop of  with no help for Fred who exits the Deepstack, leaving 67 players.

He still has another hour if he wants to re-enter though

We need 415 players in total to make the gte on this comp and at the moment have had about 204 including yesterdays online leg.  Some way to go tomorrow but I've a feeling DTD will make it.

Short break while the 25 chips are changed up.

62 players on 8 tables, going back into Level 11.

Just checking if anyone is actually reading..

Colin Young raises in the cut off, leaving himself about 18K behind.

Tom Rutter puts him all in, Colin obliges and tells me to stick around as he's about to go out.

Tom  turns over pocket nines, and Colin flips pocket Kings.

Quite surprised it wasn't Aces actually - he doesnt have the widest range.

Despite a sweat on the turn of a board reading 8 8 3 10.. the river was a King to double Colin up to to 54K.

He's still below the average of 70k but Col is one of these players who manages to nurse a short stack through the bubble on a regular basis, 54 K here is not unlike being chip leader for him.

Yeah but you only looked twice cos you thought that was an aerial shot of you and Tim Blake

Looking like the current chip leader is Richard Pearson on table 35 with over 240K.

He's quite vociferous, particularly at this moment in time as he tells Luigi Sibillo how he played the last hand wrong. Always good to hear constructive criticism to help you improve your game of course, just not always appreciated from the person you donated your chips to.


I look forward to a clash between him and the Mad Turk.

I'm detecting a hint of gentle teasing on table one.

Stephen Ayres has a mountain of chips and is seriously contemplating a call after anon shoves 14K on Ste's BB.

Eventually he sigh folds  and Anon shows KK.

Seat 3 says "Man you should have called that - he showed the  which means you had the nuts."

Another player pipes up, yeah clubs have been hitting, no way should you have folded.

Stephen seems genuinely quite sad and says "I know i know, I dont know how I folded"

Someone else says "Neither do I, you've called everything else.."

Seat 4 then shoves next hand with JJ and Stephen calls with  and turns the nut flush, sending another player to the rail.
