And we have our first exit!

Player under the gun plus one, Llyr Jones, raises pre flop with   and gets one caller, Harry Zammit, holding   .

Flop comes  

There is a bet from the  and a call.

We see a   turn and the betting goes wild, ending with an all in and a call.

The   on the river makes no difference and we lose our first player - LLyr Jones.

[Luthee13]

One more bites the dust, no details but we have lost Shehbaz Hussain.

[Luthee13]

Another exit sees Kevin Kent make a good addition to his stack courtesy of Terrance Clayton:

Kev has Ace King (suits unknown)
Terrance has King 10

The flop comes   (suits are a guess...)

Kev makes a bet and Terrance pushes all in for his last approximately 5k...Kev happily calls and the turn and river make no difference and Terrance hits the rail leaving Kev with a significantly boosted stack.

[Luthee13]

This makes Stuart Ward very unhappy...he would like it to be noted that he WAS chip leader of this tournament for a very brief period of time following a tangle earlier on having flopped a set against an over pair...


Noted, Stu.

[Luthee13]

We have some very sad news here at APAT Manchester...

Asa Mcgrath is sat next to me...

Down to 8k he faces a small raise and holding   re raises to 550 and gets FOUR callers.

The flop bring us an  

Asa is happy days and checks.

One of the callers makes it 1100 to go and is then re raised to 3300 by the player in seat 10. This is called by seat 2 and Asa pushes all in.
This move sees the player in seat ten re shove all in also and the rest folded.

Seat 10 turns over   and their is no help for Asa through the turn or river.

And Newcastle are winning at the football...apparently this makes it worse...

[Luthee13]

Table 10 seems to be having a flurry of destruction and Michael Naughton is sent to the rail.

[ian.ski309]

Best of luck to the LBPN massive...

Lee Barrett
Andy Young
Barry Simpson
Adam Szerlowski

Unlucky Asa
