Burnley John is OUT.

He reraised an under the gun raise with pocket fives.

The original raise, Ryan Fronda, dwellt for ages.

Even I almost called for the clock.

He eventually made a good call for most of his chips with pocket sevens.

Another seven on the turn sealed his fate and John's gone early doors.

Noting how many of the Blonde updaters have been getting the same bug, is it something they've all been eating?  Seems very strange that they are being hit with it one by one.

There is quite a nasty bug going round the UK, the day after we got back from Cyprus 3 in my house came down with it, and half the area seems to of had it in the last couple of weeks. Looks to me like one of them was coming down with it, and has passed it on to the others.

James was feeling terrible last night, a bit better today but we'll just have to see if he's managed to shake it off.

as long as they do this for this tournament only its a nice idea but if they did it for EVERY EPT then it wouldn't be fair or random but as a ONE OFF i think its good.

Yep, there's a couple in my office with it at the moment - one guy even passed out on the train on the way home from work on Wednesday. It's a nasty one.

On the subject of the alphabetical seating, this seems a really odd idea. What if Barny Boatman had got through from yesterday - would he always want to be sat next to Ross at a poker table? Husbands and wives would be next to each other as well - all very strange.

EDIT: If this becomes standard at tournaments, I might change my surname to Mercien

[RED-DOG]

I've just made the best cup of tea in the world!

(No family pot jokes Ange)

John did't do anything wrong. He has to make a move in the first round or so as his stack is less than 10 times the big blind. Similarly, Ryan, with not much more has to gamble early as well. As another seven fell on the turn, if he had kings aces or any other higher pair, we'd get the same result.

Commisserations to John, who has had a rollercoaster ride through this tournament. He picks up 7 Unusual Suspects points and moved on to a total of 109.

Marc had a face like thunder and asked if he still had to pay.

He's still in though...

Alright Jack are you running a book on the winner.

Mickey's fan base at Blue Square would like to know what the legend listens to on his ipod please?

[tikay]

Jim R, Camel, sopply -  I'm not AMUSED. I murdered the $10k Guaranteed on Blue Square the other night, I had a 3 to 1 chip lead heads-up. So shut it.

[Jamier-Host]

Jim we'll see if we can get a book up after end of play today.
