Goldenballs strikes again....

Tony Trippier had watched his stack slowly evaporate after being card dead since the last break, but found 44 to shove with.

He got called in two places - AJ and QQ - so looked in pretty bad shape.

However, the board ran out 82734 - and that river triples Trippier



like there was ever any doubt....

just over half an hour till close of play tonight and we are down to 37 players - players are tightening up as Day 2 draws ever closer - early chip leader Vikrum Mehta has had his stack whittled down to size enough for him to shove UTG - his jam getting thru and picking up the 5k in the middle before a card is dealt.



Vikrum Mehta

Vikrum Mehta just gone.

Also standing up (surprisingly) is Steve Redfern

on an AJ2 flop, Steve overbets his top two pair to make it look like a flush draw, and gets the action he wants from Ian Thompson - and all the chips go in.

Ian showing AQ, Steve his AJ.

Turn is a blank - River is the dreaded Queen.

Huge pot - sends Steve out and Ian Thompson into ecstacy.

[MarkTheShark]

Andrew Jones just gone - AK v KK of James Fisher who could well be about tournament chippy right now.

Just over 15 mins play left.

[BOINGBLITZ]

FECK!!!

[MarkTheShark]

JOhn Murray gone with 5 mins left to go of Day 1 - KQ hearts losing out to KJ on a KJx board - two hearts

[MarkTheShark]

Play now done for the Day - final chip counts and players left standing incoming

28 players remaining - play will resume at 13:30 tomorrow with blinds at 1000/2000/300. Current Av Stack is 55,200

Tables will go to 3 tables, with play staying 10 handed until the last 18.

The top 13 places will be paid - payout displayed tomorrow.

[Swinebag]

I know there are possibly issues with space and dealers but APAT comps should be 9 handed at the earliest opportunity. 10 handed for the best part of 2 days does seem a step back (in time and quality of product)

Gl to everyone today. Too many heroes/ heroines to mention and I always bok them anyway.

Great updates guys. Keep up the good work

[NellieG]

Gl today to Lucy, Debs, Ian, Tony and Adam
