[Luthee13]

James Orchard is the tournament"s first casualty.

With a healthy "Alternates" list, and Staker action available, Ben Kimber has now taken a place at the table.

Still only in Level 2, blinds 50/100

[Luthee13]

2nd out - Gerald Bishop.

He makes space for Peter Kelly to try his hand.

[Luthee13]

Christopher Forth takes a seat as Christoper Orr departs.

Just under 10 minutes into Level 3, with blinds of 75/150.

[Luthee13]

David "two Vegas packages isn"t enough" Griffiths has just informed me he has found himself with around 28k.

A few smaller hands and then a standard v . With 3 and 4 bets pre and the board running out blank, David - with the ladies, bet turn and river and Joseph Greenfield, with knaves made the calls.

Nice stack early doors.

[Luthee13]

David Hawley has been eliminated and so we now have Russell Scotcher in the mix.

25 mins left of Level 3.

[Luthee13]

Shirley Cole in a big hand -

It is called in late position for 150.
Shirley, two seats from the button, makes it 450 to call.
She finds four callers, Justin Hazeldene, Stephen Mooney - on the button, Lee Scarth in the big blind and Marc Morris to her right.

Stephen checks to her on a flop of Shirley makes it 1200 and only Stephen makes the call.

Shirley fires another 3k on the turn of and Stephen quickly calls and has around 3k behind.

river sees Shirley put out 2k and Stephen instantly makes the call.

He is left with less than 1k when he shows and Shirley tables

Shirley on around 20k.

[Luthee13]

And Stephen"s love for the ladies is further tested the very next hand:

The board is


Stephen, calling Diyary Khdir"s raise from the cut off pre, has been betting all the way and the pot is around 8k.

The river comes the and Diyary, first to act, makes it 6k.
Stephen quickly calls and shows
Diyary tables for the rivered straight.

[Luthee13]

Lisa Greer loses a little when Stephen Carter makes two pair on the turn with his

He raises her on the turn with the board she makes the call and they both check the river.

Lisa mucked.

[Luthee13]

Peter Whalley is the latest to hit the rail.

The tournament is now in the last minute of Level 3. Level 4 will be blinds of 100/200

Tyler Dexter has taken his seat and will get 15k to have his go with.

[Luthee13]

Mark J Haines, close on his heels to the bar, making way for Malcolm Harding.

[Luthee13]

Nearly half way through Level 4, Mark Witty is the latest to fall victim and departs.

His seat is taken by Luke Diaper.
