Spinks, Florent and Lybert...








Jon Spinks in particular has some game.  He recently took an $80k prize at the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker, returning over $50k to stakers, and won the rebuy tournament in Walsall last night.  That"s quite a record for an 18 year old....

Updates on and can you pass my best wishes to the Officepoker trio of Mary Martin, Derek Liddell and Stevie McIver please.

Good work Sharpy.

Under 3k - Nearly matches his book sales....

Mark Strahan has just tripled up, on a 5-4-3 board he saw Michael Bodman bet 700 and Jayne Cowland call. Mark pushed all in for 2125, and was rewarded when both players called. Mike and Jayne checked down the 2 turn and 7 river, Jayne flipping 9-9 and Mike showing A-3 for the bottom straight. Mark flipped J-6 for the top straight and raked in the pot, very enthusiastically.

Mike Scothern pushed all in from UTG+1 and took the blinds and antes. Very next hand he did it again, and Carl Lybert made the call. Mike flipped J-J to Carl"s A-9. The board brought an Ace, a nine, and a Jack, and Mike doubled up to 4k.

Message for Alex HM: He"s out.

Mike Saban is also OUT.

[KarmaDope]

Thanks for the pic :-) How many chips does he have?

A grand total of 0. Rob"s OUT.
