flop 

It's Rum for Glum Lum and he is out of the door before the  board is complete


Simon Deadman a 240,000 chip leader in level 8 with 115 of 250 o0r so today left. About 4x average

[TightEnd]

p.s online £20 Rebuy satellite has just started and this is the VERY Last Chance to qualify for GPSeries Nottingham Day 1C tomorrow

Over 250 pre-regged for 1c already.

Looking like 900+ runners total and £350,000+ prize pool

[TightEnd]

Umar Khan from Sheffield, who never met a competition Day One which he wasn't chip leader of, has 240,000 and is on the heels of Deadman. One player at his table looked at me, looked at Umar's stack,. looked at me again and shook his head slowly with such a doleful expression it almost made me offer him counselling.

--

David Milligan has 60,000. Thats about average. Onesie makers of Lincolnshire are girding their sewing machines at the prospect of what will follow if he cashes on late Saturday

---

One of the early leaders Niall Farrell is out. From the size of Sacha Brookes' stack to Lee Williamson's left, I deduce that he did the damage

----

Ken Billups is up well over 100,000. I waited expectantly to be told of his good fortune, but he went all coy on me. As Yorkshire poker players tend to. Not.



We are about to hit the break after 8 levels with 2 left to play

100 of 250 remain, blinds going 500-1000 and average 65,000 with a 1am finish

Iqbal Ahmed raises and Barry Neville 3 bets him

Ahmed 4 bet shoves setting Barry in

Barry bristles, raises his shoulders and calls all in with A-K for 40,000

Iqbal? Quack 2 Quack 2

the board comes out blanks until a deuce on the river seals the deal for Iqbal


I am staying clear of the car park until I know Barry has told the stories to enough people to get it out of his system


---

Meanwhile Chris Vernon has taken off his hat, which has let to a big increase in his stack up to about 170,000

He flopped top set of Jacks on an Ace high board to double

He had Jacks again and held against underpair and flopped straight draw

He then had AQ on a Q high turn and managed to get it in and called by five high. Although the five high was an up and down straight flush draw, which proceeded to miss every straight and flush out on the river

Vernon is co-tabling with Simon Deadman, who miraculously still has his stack. The pair of them look like a slightly underfed advert for Gap Kids.
