On a board of

Shortstack Shane Barnes pushes his chips in and is called by David Cook and Gerrard Gannon.

Barnes shows  
Cook  
Gannon  

Turn   and Barnes calls for any 3.

River  

Giving Barnes a triple up to his delight. 

Cook shakes his head while Gannon is our first exit on the FT.



Gerrard Gannon, 9th.

Thought it was online then LOL
with that river

[Des]

Ben Sowerby is all in for around 50k and is called by David Cook.

Cook shows  
Sowerby  

Flop   to give Cook trips

Turn and River brick and we lose Ben Sowerby in 8th.

[Des]

As I detailed the last hand, we lost Shane Barnes in 7th.  No hand details I"m afraid.  It"s all pretty fast and furious at the moment.  I love Newcastle.  

[Des]

I think somebody mentioned a party, because when I turned back to the table, there"s a three way all in.

John Nixon  

Simon Pham  

Troy Rutherford  

The board runs out  

And we lose Simon in 6th and Troy in 5th.

The pace is frentic!



Pham in "shock horror" 6th place finish



Rutherford in "pulls own hair out shocker" 5th place finish.
