How's mateyboy doing?

How's BigArmo doing please?

[snoopy1239]

Jen's running to find The Nun, but, for now, I have a hand she retold at the break.

Flop =  Queen high with three diamonds

Nunny has pocket kings and a diamond draw.

Mateyboy seems to like his pocket nines with a smaller diamond draw and shoves in his chips.

Nine arrives, and nunny is an unhappy bunny.

Still left her with 10k though.

Boy, that break brought a few stories.

Here's one from RED-DOG...

Mateyboy (just for you homer) raises.

RED find pocket kings in the small blind and sticks in a reraise. Mateyboy calls.

Flop = A-Q-J

RED checks, Mateyboy checks.

Turn = K

eeeeek!

RED checks again, but this time Mateyboy bets. RED-DOG smooth calls.

River is a rather delightful, and a lot less intimidating, Jack.

Aye Carumba.

RED checks, Mateyboy bets, and RED flat calls.

What has Mateyboy got?

[Djinn]

We've been joined by Nick (pictured here, left, while still in) and he's sympathetic to our hankering for fish'n'chips (we've had a toastie all day) but we hear that sneaking food in here is a big no-no.  We're going to have to hold off until the dinner break, at which time we'll be round the corner eating something fishy and fried before you can say "Where are our chip counts?"
