Meanwhile, here's Ben Grundy, giving an opponent the laazy eye.  He looks to have gotten himself well under control now, and is in the top 5 in chips.

Am chatting to Rhow & the 425 Team about doing a few "In-Depth" Interviews for 425 today, who shall we do. My suggestions were J P Kelly, Matt Tyler, Rob Yong (we already did Simon Nowab a while back). And if Willie Tann shows up for the £100 tonight, I will deffo do him - we did him at Walsall - GREAT stuff, but there were technical problems & we had to bin it.

Of those still here, who would you suggest would make an interesting subject for a 425 "In-Depth", & what questions would you particularly like me to ask your chosen subject?

There you go - choose the player. Only on blonde, eh?

****************10 minute break***************

They are racing off the 100 chips and with just 21 players remaining I'm sure they mainly want to just keep on playing at this point.

Dave Smith and Ian Woodward OUT, in case that hadn't been mentioned.

He might just have been winking suggestively at me.  You never know.

Just got back home after my exit.

Was going well today too - I'd gone from 15,300 to 25,000 without having to showdown a hand and Nick, sat to my immediate right, had already promised to call me next time I went over the top of him.

Last hand of the 600/1200 level, we both have similar chips.  He raised to 4,000 from the cut-off.  I flat call on the button with  ..  Everyone else folds.

Flop is beautiful - rags, no obvious draws and Ten-high.  Nick pushes, I insta-call and he turns over 66.

After some initial confusion where the dealer thinks I've folded and tries to muck my cards, he then proceeds to deal a 6 on the turn and I'm out.  If only he'd let the cards touch the muck!

Can't really ask for much more than that.  Win that hand and I'm comfortable again (for the first time in about 7 hours of play).  I'm a massive favourite when the money goes in and I can't control the turn of cards after that.

GL to the Blondies left in.

PS:  Funny incident then follows.  I'm out in 28th place so they announce a break while they set up for 3 tables instead of 4.  Rhowena pops over and asks for a quick interview for Poker425.  I go over to the camera, she advises that its just an update on progress.  I say to her "You do know I just got knocked out don't you?"  Cue one very sheepish looking Mrs C 

Still, at least I got to describe a bad beat on camera.  If its shown I believe this means it is exempt from a 50p fine!

Sigh.

Thewy, ".....and what question would you particularly like me to ask them?...."

[julian]

me doubts you would spot a dylan lyric if it came up & bite you in the ass tk...no, not the lightening seeds & my point was that i approved of the use of worthy lyrics/titles...
(8 points if you can name the album from which this weeks blog bit was derived...)

[gatso]

hurrah, I've been waiting since page 16 yesterday for banjo pics.

[The Dundonian]

Surely if it's shown it's a £5 fine!!

[ifm]

any news on snoops please...and matt   or am i blowing in the wind

All right, rumbled.  I'll have you know that as a special Snoopy Challenge I got no fewer than 18 Bob Dylan song titles hidden in my updates yesterday, and no-one said a thing!  I win I win!

I spotted 'em - every one of them......

I'm quite surprised that nobody else did though, especially ifm. There you go, outwitted by a slip of a girl.

I actually didn't read the updates yesterday, just skipped thru looking for news on snoppy et al
Gotta have a look thru now though!!
