Hard luck Snoopy... sounds like you had a tough batch of luck.  You're probably standing right behind me right now.  I recommend you relax by winning some sit'n'gos.

Thierry Cazals has moved in now, after becoming over the course of two hours, a short stack.  He's pushed on the button after it folded round to him, and there are two blinds to get past.  Interestingly, although they both fold, big blind Aleksander Strandli exposes one card before the small blind Ash could act.  He is given a rather severe ten minute penalty, and says "It's not like I am going to lose a lot of chips, it's just that it's a stupid rule.  But what can you do?"

Not so stupid a rule. The card he exposed could easily influence Ash's decision.

Yep, I'm gone from the €1000.

Probably my biggest event to date, but, with the €10,000 still going on, it really doesn't feel like it.

Wasn't my day, but I was happy with the way I played.

Tough table of youngsters, including Rory Matthews and Stu Fox, who was located two seats to my left.

I managed to break K-K with A-K early on to add a few extra chips to my stack, but took a bad beat about 20 mins l8er. Raised A-A preflop, called in bb by Matthews. Both checked queen high flop. He bet turn, I moved all-in, he called with Q-5 and rivered the 5.

That put me down to 2,500. Then I lost a 50-50 with a shortstack which took me down to 14,000.

After the break I had 2 hands to stick it in, with blinds at 200/400. Blinds went up to 300/600 when I was underthegun, so I chucked it in with .

Great timing as usual. I was up against and .

Board = two spades

hehe 

With 5 tables remaining, I saw a flop from the sb with .

Flop = three diamonds

I checkraised all-in. Mateyboy, who had limped from seat 3, called with .

I put him on a smaller pocket pair. He'd raise with a bigger pair, so I thought I had him dominated. Not happy to see he had so many outs.

Turn = two hearts

River =

Bah. Win that and I'm up to over 10k.

Nevermind. Enjoyed it.

Great updating folks and thx to Micky for backing me.

A stupid rule?  What if by exposing the card the bb had made the sb realise that he was going to fold. The sb now knowing he is in no danger of being re-raised  decides he can safely call and the buton is knocked out? Would ten minutes seem harsh then?

Of course, I didn't see what happensed and it may well have been harsh in this case.
