Linda Iwaniak and big stack Jean-Michel Ballocchi are heads up on table three.

[Cazzaline]

Talk about luck of the Irish.  Pat O"Callaghan survives all in with K Q of clubs, hitting runner runner to double up against Thomas Schmidt"s Kings.

[Cazzaline]

Thomas has pushed his remaining chips without success and goes out 4th on table four for 2 points for Germany.

[Cazzaline]

Jean Michel Ballocchi has just secured the first single table tournament win on table three, when his Ace 8, made a full house against Linda Iwaniak"s pocket Queens.

We"ve just lost Jurgen Bachmann of Germany in 6th position on table two, followed quickly by Scotland"s Gordon McArthur in 5th.

[Cazzaline]

Pat O"Callaghan has used another life, knocking Leigh Wiltshire out in 3rd on table four.  All the chip went in pre-flop.  Pat with Two"s and Leigh with Tens.  First card on the flop....a Two.

Meanwhile, Ireland"s Colin O"Prey has just exited on table two in 4th position.

Geza Szabo has just exited in 3rd on table two.

Top job with the updates Caz.

Sorry to hear Mary couldn"t make it. I"m sure Stuart himself knows that he won"t be doing as good a job ...
