TheBubble is out!  Still waiting for details

Tiffany Williams in an interesting, and quite sizeable pot - she is raised preflop and calls.  On the flop (J 6 7) turn (7) and river (7) her opponent bets, and at every street she flat calls.  The river call takes a while but she still makes it and flips over 10 10 - beating her opponent's 8 8 and giving her an estimated 10,000

Isabelle Mercier out - knocked out  by John Gale.  She was down to about 4,000 and when he saw that his hand was good (A8 clubs) he said he was "gutted to have knocked her out."

The drama of Latif continues... his Aces having been cracked by 99 for about 8000 he started a bit of a betting frenzy, eventually getting moved to a new table holding 11,000.  Pretty soon he moves all-in under the gun with AQoff (pretty big bet considering the bb is 300) and a dweller in seat 6 eventually makes a brave call with 10 10.  Latif hits his queen for a pretty big double-through and I think that may have calmed him somewhat.

Simon Zach out, there is some word circulating about busted Kings

Thanks to Tikay for the inside-the-rope information (he must have walked about 20 miles in the last 4 hours....)

Padraig Parkinson exited the tournament earlier with KK vs a lucky 66 which caught.  Apparently this is the 5th large buy-in tournament in which he has gone out with KK against weaker pairs... due a hold-up soon, surely

[Djinn]

Just heard that Tony Bloom has doubled-up.... to 2200

Devilfish on 700!

something has happened in the last 20 minutes

Words from the players:

Ben Grundy "I've played about 4 hands in 4 hours; seen a pair of twice, but it's pretty frustrating watching the couple of calling stations play hands like this...." - goes on to explain a particularly unlikely set of hands some of the people on his table saw fit to see the river with....

Latif:  "My new name - Latif SuperKing -  - I am going to win the World Series."
