Frank Bailie has doubled up with Queens against Ace Queen.

On the same table we"ve just lost Matt Carter, who held pocket Sevens against the pocket Eights of Abens Maurice and the pocket Tens of Paul Gildea.  Gildea holds and Carter hits the rail.

33 remain.

We play to 20, or the end of level 13 - whichever comes first.

Obv Barry gets there..... With a running Q J for the straight and a 45k pot

Table JP is now streaming.

Did the audio pick up the great line from the Frenchman in Seat 10 around 5 mins ago?

[Des]

JP goes from a couple of bigs, to just over 35k, his Ace Queen sucking out on his opponent"s Aces - a Queen coming on the turn and the river!  Can he make back to back finals?

30 still remain.

[Des]

Drama as Abens Maurice leaves to go to work, his 50k stack will be blinded by the dealer.  It will be interesting to see what he"ll have at the end of the night.

[Des]

Jason Buckley takes an approximate 150k pot from previous chipleader Dion Burns.  I didn"t see how the action went, but Buckley called off his stack holding pocket Eights, to find Burns with pocket Fives which failed to improve.  Buckley is our new chipleader.

Dion Burns

Dion Burns knocks out short stacked Peter Searle, pocket Sixes holding against Ace Jack.

We are about to start level 12 with blinds at 800-1600(250).

27 players remain.

The average stack is 45,000.

We will play down to 20, or the end of level 13 - whichever comes first.

[Des]

JP"s crushed, his Ace King failing to improve against his opponent"s pocket Tens.  He has around 10k left and will be looking to get them in pretty pronto.

[Des]

David Costello just out in 27th.

[Des]

Ken McBride 33k and James Ellis 30k holding on, on table 3.
