Lee  

And we lose Lee. Dan gets back to a playable stack.

We have also lost Gholam Reza.

Joe Char-Grill is short now and gets all-in pre-flop with 33. Called by 66. He doesn"t get the miracle.

[MintTrav]

The Cut-Off raises and Dann Williams picks up a bunch of chips to 3-bet from the BB. Before he does so, the original raiser announces "All In".

Dann escapes, losing only his BB.

[MintTrav]

Shortly after, Dann is out. He has had a difficult day, with the cards not running his way and losing almost every hand he gets involved in. Sometimes it just goes that way.

[MintTrav]

We have details of Gholam"s exit.

He shoved   into Anthony Jones"   for 20k and that was that.

[MintTrav]

With Dyfan Jones" exit, we are down to two Jones, namely Anthony Jones and Warren, er, Jones.

Who will win the battle of the Welsh Jones and be crowned Jones the Poker?

How"s Tom Clark doing John???

He had 14.5k when you asked. Just shoved pre-flop and added 2k. He showed me suited connectors, but didn"t show the table and didn"t want me to disclose more than that about them. In fairness, I"d have been embarrassed to have played the hand he showed me too.

be honest john you have never been embarrassed playing any two cards
