Dwayne Stacey making a move as he check raises a tasty pot off Michael Johns

Jason Kemp out in 15th place - his AA bust by the KK of Craig Daye - who "cannot lose" according to Chris Webber!

[MarkTheShark]

Stuart Oliver"s stack takes a bit of a hit  - a cooler of a flop QJ5 meant the chips went in - low stack Micheal Johns having his £55 all in called by Stuart - Stuart top 2 pair - Michael 55. No help for Stuart.

Dann Williams was the unlucky FT bubbler....losing out by just 75p....

[MarkTheShark]

a cagey start to the FT.blinds up to .50/£1 and Chris Webber takes advantage with a few canny pre flop raises to take some blinds...there are some funky chip stacking going on...started by Dwayne Stacey....

[MarkTheShark]

Dwayne Stacey takes a £00+ pot down from Chris Webber - Chris had raised to £3 UTG which Dwayne called - flop was King high, then a J on the turn where Dwayne raised Chris"s bet - Chris re popped, Dwayne not put off though and re raised to £75....Chris called - a 5 on the river, Chris checks, Dwayne bets, Chris puts them away....

[MarkTheShark]

First casualty of the FT - and its a biggy....Vikrum Mehta gets juicy with Dwayne Stacey on a KQJ flop....raises flew back n forth before Vikrum shoved....Dwayne not taking too long to make the call....showing AT for broadway...Vikrum showing KJ. A Ten gives Vik the chance to split the pot...but a brick on the river sends Vik spinning out and Dwayne assumes the chip lead

[MarkTheShark]

Matt Dent takes down a nice pot uncontsted by Michael Johns - now in to the second and final hour of play

[MarkTheShark]

Big pot between Chris Webber and Craig Daye - no real pre flop action but when the flop comes down 6T4, theres a flurry of bets with Chris raising Craig - the turn brings a J - bet and call....river is an 8....Chris shoves all in and Craig eventually calls....Chris gleefully showing 75 and taking a massive pot down

[MarkTheShark]

Dwayne Stacey still the chip leader - Craig 2nd, Chris 3rd, Stuart 4th.
