Some great table draws there, all the best to everyone I know, especially Tom Clark  

[MarkTheShark]

Couple of early bits of action :

Elimination :

Stephen Hetherington first "man down" - unfortunately i didnt catch the exit hand.

Hand Action :

T27 - John Woodbridge raises from early position to 125 - he picks up three callers - flop comes 668 - one check to "Woody" who c-bets 325 - all fold and Woody takes control of the table early on.

T46 - a pot develops between Michael Perry and Mark Percival - when the turn comes down the board shows J293 - Mark checks to Michael who fires 750 - called by Mark - pot now well over 2k - the river brings another deuce - Mark again checks, Michael again fires 750 Mark again calls. Michael shows JT - enough for Mark who mucks, looking marginally disgusted.

certainly are a few doozies in there - it will be interesting to see how the guys who played the 6 Max yesterday fare - especially the likes of Darren Shallis and Stuart Oliver who went deep and endured what was the biggest grind of a tournament since Cliff Thorburn graced the green baize in the early 80s.....the Cash Tour players also and the Team Event players - who again have had long days and nights in what were emotionally draining (and alcohol draining!) games also.

Endurance and stamina certainly could be a feature today....do all horses run best fresh?

I do think that DTD"s supply of Red Bull could be in question today!

Any predictions from you guys out there?

Any one youd like an update or feature on?

Pics?

Tournament about to go into L2 - 181 now entered

Question for discussion - views/comments welcome :

Dealer dealing hole cards (as he does!) accidently flips a card - and immediately retracts the card, saying its the first burn.

If the player to whom it was dealt says "thats my card, i want it - i dont care if all the table knows i have it" should he be allowed to keep it and play continue?

Should the player be allowed the option of keeping that card - on the basis it was his but dealer error has caused them not to get it?

Arnold Baggott, who bubbled the 6-Max yesterday, doesnt have to have that agony today as he exits 2nd player down.

Hand Action :

Table 32 : A pot of around 7k has built betweem Adam Smith and Colin McCarthy - Adams river bet is called by Colin - who then wishes he hadnt as Adam tables 44 on a board of 3954Q and scoops the pot.



Adam Smith

Table 46 :

Dan Dennehy raises from EP to 225 - called in seat 9 by Vasos Michel - but raised in seat 1 by Ian Gascoigne to 1k.

Dan mucks but Vasos calls - to the apparent chagrin of Ian who bellows "cant get rid of you can i".....the flop comes KQ7 to which both check...the turn brings a Jack....Vasos checks, Ian bets 1900....Vasos reluctantly folds.

Ian tables KK....



Vasos Michel
