Super crazy game, anyone wanna take an over under on 7pm finish?

Under!!!!

[MarkTheShark]

David Garden opens up for 400, Don Roberts calls, Tom Lane repops to 1200 - David folds but Don makes the call.

Flop comes down   - Don thinks for a little while and jams his remaining 7225 into the middle....Tom doesnt like it at all but has to call with his KK....though it leaves him shrapnel behind.

Don shows   .

Turn is an immediate killer for Tom.... .....river no help either as it fills Don up being  .

Cruel turn of events...and a few hands later, Tom departs the event. Had a flush draw on the flop that meant his remaining 1k went in, but couldnt get there.

Murray Minted!!

John Murray raises the bring to 600, which is re raised by Marcus Bremner to 1800. John"s nose twitches like a bunny as he tries to polarize Marcus"s range....reaches deep for chips - maybe looking for a reaction, but flats.

The flop brings a -As-7d to the board.

John checks, Marcus wastes little time reaching for his stack, grabbing 3600 and sliding them forward with deliberation. John looks to see what Marcus has behind - approximately another 10k - and again calls.

The turn brings an innocent looking .

John checks...Marcus again quickly slides his remaining stack forward but is met by John"s greater stack, his call a nano-second behind Marcus"s bet.

John flips over 77....Marcus muttering an expletive as he tosses AK in the direction of the muck.

The river is a complete non event and John Murray eliminates Marcus Bremner - taking his stack to a very impressive 40k.

Chip counts/updates from table JP/Asa please Mark!

Chip counts/updates from table JP/Asa please Mark!

JP - 16k

Asa - 23k

Both looking happy enough with life - sat next to each other which may account for some of that!

[MarkTheShark]

Dann Williams down - taken out by Simon Fuller - K7 for Dann not being able to improve against AK - the fact that pretty much every player at the table had mucked either a 7 or a K meant that Dann would do very well to improve at all.

His stack had been previously decimated when his opponent hit runner runner for a gutshot straight with 85, with Dann holding A4.

Oops.

Asa McGrath gets involved with Ky Hutchinson........already a substantial pot as I join the action with the board showing Q472 and Asa having the decision to call/raise or fold to the bet of 5500 by Ky.....

He calls.

The river brings an Ace......Asa slowly checks, but that has no effect on Ky who shoves with gusto.

Asa looks resigned as he folds, saying that was the worst of rivers.....Ky says that was the best of rivers as he flips J5 and rakes the pot.......

Mr Ace on the River himself - J-P Round

[MarkTheShark]

The elimination of Silvia Vaquero means we are down to 27/50 in the Antes only - antes now 250 with a 50 bring in.

Meanwhile, Don Roberts takes down another huge pot - from being on the brink of elimination when his 88 cracked KK - his 6k river bet being folded in two places meaning that Don rakes another monster pot.

Rick Baker - one of the tournament chippies with 20 remaining

[MarkTheShark]

Asa McGrath and Denis Philips down to leave us with 18.......

Then JP Seal and Vincent Eley get involved and the chips go in with JP Seal needing his TT to hold up against the QJs of Vincent.

And it looks promising as the flop reveals a Ten....but a King on the turn signals danger for JP.....

And the Seal is clubbed as a 9 on the river gives Vincent the straight and sends JP spinning to the rail in 17th



JP Seal

[MarkTheShark]

Vincent Eley crushing this event at the moment  - his stack now fast approaching 200k - well over double the stack of his closest challenger!



Vincent Eley
