How"s Tom Clark doing John???

He had 14.5k when you asked. Just shoved pre-flop and added 2k. He showed me suited connectors, but didn"t show the table and didn"t want me to disclose more than that about them. In fairness, I"d have been embarrassed to have played the hand he showed me too.

From S9 - APAT Cardiff - Day 1b - 29.08.15

Tom Clark (sitting to the left [from our POV] of Linda Iwaniak earlier in the day).

[MintTrav]

We have a three-way all-in.

James Orchard shoved with 55.
Bill Law has TT.
Stephen Bradbury came along with AK.

The cards came  

Bill filled up on the River, though he was already ahead. Stephen won the side-pot with a straight, as Bill was the shortest stack, and eliminates James.

[MintTrav]

Dann Williams picks up 25k following some serious action pre-flop against a local player.

Dann 3-bet the initial raise and then called the 4-bet all-in with AK against KQ for a very useful addition to his chips.

[MintTrav]

Play has now finished and players are bagging up.

[MintTrav]

I believe Bash to be the chip-leader with 107.6k.

Full details to follow.

And we"ve hit the final table in the NLHE Side Event. Chip counts for that, and the Main Event to follow once they have been collated.

Great updates guys, thanks.

[Matt D]

And we"re off. Day 2 has commenced, with 42 players left and blinds at 600/1200/200.

Table draw to follow shortly. We"ve lost our first player - Linda Iwaniak against chip leader Rob Thomas. JM with details in a mo.

[MintTrav]

Linda opened to 3600 with   and was called by Rob Thomas.

The Flop was   X and Linda went all-in for 19k - called by Rob with and his big stack.

Linda didn"t improve and is now registering for the PLO tournament.

[MintTrav]

David Singh opens and Jonathan Lane goes all-in for 29k.

Joe Char-Grill called the all-in with his "stack" of 10k.

David called.

David      
Jonathan  
Joe          

No high cards on the board mean Joe stays ahead until the River, but he lets out a sigh when the hits - until the other players point out that it is the fourth club on the board and he has made a flush.

So Joe trebles up, David wins the side-pot and Jonathan is not playing any more.
