Richard Edward makes a quiet exit...


JP Round wins a small pot against James Lewis when his hold on a board.

[Luthee13]

Poker is one of those games...


Tony Lynch makes it 1k to play.

Wai Guo re raises to 10k.

Jo Howard folds her big blind and it is back round to Tony who raises a small amount to go all in and is called by Wai.

Tony has he is behind and at risk
Wai has



It isn"t looking good for Tony...

on the turn and Tony gains a few outs...

Tony gets the double!!

Details from David Pilkington....who has had time to have more alcohol...are as follows:

"I had aces...he had two pair...I went all in...he had two pair and I had aces"


Players who have joined him (presumably at the bar!) in the last level are:

Paul Barnes
Jo Howard
Dan Owston
Ikjeet Singh
Stephen Harrison



Jo raised pre with two red Queens. The flop came lower than a Queen with 3 spades. Jo ends up all in and her opponent takes around 4 minutes to call...with pocket Kings...including ...tough call... but it held and Jo is on the rail.

It is folded to Ger in early position, he raises to 500 and gets 6 callers! Including the big and small blinds.

The first three cards over are and they all check.

on the turn and it is checked to Ger.

He flips in 1200 and it folds to Gholam Modir (small blind) who raises it to 4.8k

It folds to Ger who moves all in for not very much more.

Gholam instantly makes the call and shows
Ger shows

The river means Gholam keeps the lead, wins the hand and sends Ger to the rail.

Craig Dawson moves all in pre flop with his remaining 1425 chips.

He is called in two places by Wai Guo and Tony Lynch, who both have chips behind.

John Murray is cheering for Wai or Tony...

They both check down the board of

Wai has
Tony has

Craig hits the rail.

Glenn Laming has told me his version of his exit hand...and Paul Davis has told me his version...

I think it is fair to say that Glenn called a raise from Paulie pre flop and the rest didn"t go so well for him.

Paulie has Ace King

Glenn has

There are two clubs on the flop (Glenn"s version)

There are two clubs by the turn (Paulie"s version)

The chips all go in at some point after the flop and Glenn doesn"t improve and is now with the other poker fatalities - drowning their "sorrows" at the bar.

I catch the end of a hand with Simon Lawlor and Karen Mead the only two holding cards by the river.



The board is

The pot looks to be around 3k at this point and Karen, to act first, says "same again" and flicks in 700.

Simon tanks for a moment before saying "go on then, I"ll pay you off" and puts the call in.

Karen shows the and announces flush.

Simon shows and Karen takes a sizeable pot.

flush came on river in case it looked even odder . Karen bet 700 pre with bb 50 , admitted she was meant to bet 225 bet 700 on every street and I asked if she was a Le Ganley fan

[Luthee13]

Karen Mead, Dianne Chevrier and Naaman Morris all have cards on their backs as I approach the table!

Naaman is all in for around 13k and has
Karen is also all in for less and has
Dianne has chips behind and has

board.

Karen and Dianne chop the pot, Naaman is out of the tournament.


Karen now on circa 5k.

[Luthee13]

Craig Smith falls foul to Terry Evans and is now out of the tournament.
Terry counted his stack immediately after the hand and exclaimed in dismay "I"m not even back up to starting stack!!"

(Terry Evans... trying to go one better than his Silver Medal success in Luton recently at the European Amateur Poker Championship... http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php/topic,19828.msg250259.html#msg250259)




Michael Thomas is also out.

[Luthee13]

Richard Rudling-Smith says "It is very quiet and I am the man to change all that...the next hand will be played through only the media of "mime"..." and proceeds to do so! As do many of the others! Including Paul Davis!!

It should be noted, Karen Mead lasted all of 15 seconds in the medium of mime...

All good fun.

[Luthee13]

JP Round makes it 1500 to go from late position.

Steve "Rodders" Rodderick announces "raise"  but only puts in 1750.

The dealer corrects him and he puts in the 2600 to correctly raise.

It folds back round to JP and he re-raises to 6k...

Rodders thinks for a fair amount of time but eventually folds.

[Luthee13]

Steve Rodderick exits the tournament...I asked him for details but I simply got "he made a good call on the river...*shrug*"

Gary Board has also departed.

[Luthee13]

Not sure of the order of things but, when I reach the table, Tom Clark is scooping up the entirety of Anthony David Jones" stack with on a board.


Over on table 2, Anthony Jones is eliminated.

[Luthee13]

Other recent exits are:

Glen Frost
Tony Griffiths
Carl Daniels

[Luthee13]

Micheal Jeffers moves all in for just over 21k from mid position.

Richard Rudling-Smith asks how much it is and makes a swift move of all in himself.

Everyone else passes and the cards are turned

Micheal has
Rudders has

flop, Rodders is still ahead and has Michael covered.

turn doesn"t change anything and Micheal needs an ace or a king on the river to stay in the tournament and leave Rudders very short stacked.

river and Rudders" pocket Jacks hold up and he ends Michael"s tournament and adding over 21k to his stack.
