I"m hopeful that the Stud will be done by 11pm but there"s a good chance the High Roller could go very late indeed.

Not many chips floating around on that stud ft...

Not many chips floating around on that stud ft...

Deceptively few...surprising how much play 10 big bets has in Stud.

[Paulie_D]

Johnathan Rees loses half his stack to Ricky Wingate when he missed  flush draw against made Broadway.

Hard to capture that many cards.

It"ll be easier when I can get closer to the action...perhaps when we lose a player

#9 Stud

Level 14 now - 800 + 3k/6k

Average - 37500.

#9 Stud

Johnathan Rees is back in action against Stefan Roder  

Johnathan has   showing and calls

Stefan completes to 3k with a   showing and JR calls.

JR -  

SR -  

SR bets 3k and is called

JR -      

SR -  

JR Bets and this will put JR all in...who make the call..basically he"s committed at this point.

JR - as   for a pair but SR has   and the next card gives him quads

We lose Johnathan in 8th.

AND

While I typed that we"ve just William Whicher in 7th.

Gonna be tough to keep this straight.

[Paulie_D]

Players are standing as Markus and Ricky battle.

Couldn"t get close but it came down to the last card as Markus had boated but Ricky missed the bigger boat on 7th street.

#9 Stud

A captivated rail here.

You don"t often get to see Stud played live and John the TD/Dealer is keeping it entertaining.

#9 Stud

Level 15 - 1k + 4k/8k

Very little play now for the shorties.

For that matter, any betting battle is likely to commit all parties.

[Paulie_D]

#9 Stud

...and it"s not just the shorties.

Matt and Stefan cap it pre and there"s 36k or so in front before we even start.

The betting is made by Matt all the way through but he"s called down by Stefan.

By 7th street Matt is all in and is called by Stefan.

Matt shows that he had, in fact, paired his Ace up card with one in the hole and two paired wit ducks during the deal.

Stefan had a Jack up but Kings in the hole and never hit his 2 outs.

Matt doubles up handily.

Work complete - drink cracked - updates from the wordsmith fired up - gonna be a good evening.

#9 Stud

Robert Beatty has been bemoaning his lack of cards and has managed to get short stacked.

He takes stand against Ricky but at 1.5k + 6k/12k he"s all in to a re-raise.

Ricky flips Tens in the hole to Roberts pocket fours.

Both make two paid by the river but 7th is no help and we burst the bubble when Robert exists

[Paulie_D]

#9 Stud

Lots of cagey play and we"re still at it.

We"ve paused the clock for 10 minutes to give the players a bathroom break as we move to 2k + 8k/16k

Only one absolutely short stack , Stefan Roder with about 20k.

Any move he makes basically commits him.

Markus Borel is in a similar spot with maybe 25k.

Don and Matt still have options, Don is playing plenty crafty on around 75k

Matt and Ricky are the "big" stacks with about 90k each.
