Don Roberts takes a nice pot off Sindijs Anspoks with a cleverly played 44.



Sindijs Anspoks - he"s not small really - he was just leaning forward!

the kiss of death from the nearly man himself!

Brian Kiely has been bleeding chips since the FT, but find a hand to raise with pre flop - he makes it 17k to go - gets two callers - Don Roberts and Sindijs Anspoks.

Flop is   - Brian fires 33k in - Don calls - Sindijs folds.

Turn is   - Brian checks - Don shoves - Brian looks disgusted but makes the call, flipping AA.

Don shows TT for the turned set.

River is a brick and Brian goes in 9th place - Don now assumes the chip lead.



Brian Kiely - 9th place finisher

a big chunk tho goes straight back to Sindijs from Don a very raggy board sees over 100k go in the middle, with Sindijs JJ seeing off Don"s 44.

[MarkTheShark]

not a good level for Don once he assumed the chip lead - hes bleeding chips profusely and the table seem to be picking on him - pressuring his bets both pre and post flop. He"s still in good shape overall, but could probably do with avoiding these marginal hands which look to be getting him into a spot of bother. He"s still smiling though - so its not all bad news!

Man Down!

Frank Piednoel raises pre flop, Shug shoves OTT for 33k extra - Frank makes the call with AT.

Shug shows KJ.

AT holds

Hugh Cairnie down



Hugh Cairnie - 8th place finisher

David Smith had been battling to keep his head above water - finding TT in mid position looked good for a shove - until that man Don Roberts woke up with AA in the BB!

David rueful as the board offers no help and he is down in 7th



David Smith - 7th place finisher

Nearly man ..... Cheeky sod

[MarkTheShark]

after that flurry of excitement, the game has again regressed into one of "those" stages - all players now being very cagey and careful with their plays - there is also a good contingent watching the FT which im sure only adds to the intensity.

Anyones guess as to who this will go to.

Nearly man ..... Cheeky sod

lol.....gotcha, ya handsome devil.

Andy Duncan gets a double through - shoves his button with T7 - gets called by the SB of Seb Kerrian who has AJ - but a 7 on the flop is good for Andy and he keeps himself well in the game. Gallic gall for Seb.

[MarkTheShark]

James Kemp has been picking his spots well to attack - and it proves so again as Don Roberts raises to 20k - Jason shoves and Don has to fold.
