He won a big pot before he ran, the count was from the break.

I think there must be a problem with the card buttons.

The six of clubs is replacing one of the kings. The frank Bailie exit hand looks wrong and JPs sick hand has two 6 of clubs.

Great work though Des. Am enjoying catching up on the train back from London after an epic 40th bash.

Ken takes a few chips uncontested.

I"ve turned the stream on, we"re covering table one with Ken and Rita.

Rita takes a hit.

Raising 6k on a flop of 6 7 J 9 with 2 clubs, Dion Burns calls.

Rita raises a further 10k when the Ace of clubs falls on the turn.

Burn pushes and Rita releases.

[Des]

Rob Coughlan is out 19th, his Ace Three failing to connect against Davie Croke"s Ace Jack.

[Des]

John Quinn knocks out a very short stacked Pat Connelly in 18th.

His King Two connecting on a board of K 5 9 J J against Connelly"s Queen Five, all in pre.

[Des]

The traveling contingent are all looking pretty short at the moment.

Rita 30k
Ken 45k
James 32k
Val 40k

We"ve just lost James "HerbieHackett" Ellis in 17th place.  Pushing with Ace King he was called by Benjamin Abbou with Sixes.  No help on the board.  Table 2 has been the table of death so far, with the 4 exits so far.
