A little flurry of all in moves around the room...

First it is Liam Winder, all in, against Gholam Modir.

Liam has and is at risk.

Gholam has

and Liam just over doubles his 11k stack.

On another table Darren Proud and Frederick Edwards lock horns.

Darren has around 5k and
Frederick has him covered but is ahead with

and Darren, again, just over doubling his stack.

[Luthee13]

And on the other table, Justin Cox pushes all in in very early position for just over 6k.
It folds to Tom Clark in late position, he re raises all in to more than 20k.

It folds and they are on their backs.

Tom has
Justin - ahead but at risk.

on the flop sees Tom take the lead.

on the turn and river mean Tom eliminates Justin and adds a nice 6k to his stack.


Also recently bust:

Dylan Jones
James Edwards

Karen Mead has gotten herself back up to around 11k!

She calls a small raise pre flop from Tony Lynch, as does Ian Mason.



They all check

turn. Karen checks.

Ian best 2.5k and Tony makes the call. Karen folds.

river and Ian bets again, 3.8k.
Tony puts the call across the line and shows

Ian mucks and Tony adds a nice sized pot to his stack.

[Luthee13]

Karen Mead now up to around 24k

When I asked her how she got all the chips she just said "I made quad 6"s"

[Luthee13]

Colin Erison and Terry Evans have a tangle.

Terry makes it 1400 pre flop and Colin raises to 3100.

It folds back to Terry who moves all in.
Colin makes the call and they flip them.
"I"m just hoping I am live" says Terry, tabling
"oh..." he says as he sees Colin"s turned over.

Never easy with a flop... turn making it sweatier...but the on the river sees Colin double through Terry.

Colin on around 30k, Terry around the 12k mark.

[Luthee13]

As he hands me his player tracking card, signifying his exit, I ask Paul Davis - what happened??
"King Jack verses pocket 8"s and he flops 10 10 8"

Ok, Paulie, that"ll see you out of a tournament...very unlucky, off to the bar...

[Luthee13]

JP Round and Tom Clark enter a raising war pre flop and all the chips go in.

JP has and is visibly disheartened by Tom turning over

flop

turn and JP needs a Queen on the river to survive...

means JP is sent to the rail by Tom - who adds around 40k to his stack.

[Luthee13]

Wai Guo and Karen Mead are the latest to get all their chips in...

Wai raises to 3.6k pre flop and Karen calls (from a stack of around 7k)




Karen instantly moves her remaining 4.2k across the line and Wai makes the call.

Wai has and has Karen covered.

Karen has

on the turn and on the river, Karen gets the double up to around 15k....average stack is 41k...

Last level of the day and there are 22 players still left, following the exit of Beverley Board.

Blinds are now 500/1000 ante 100.

[Luthee13]

Richard Rudling-Smith down to very much less than he was before Dianne Chevrier proved to be a non believer... On a board with two Kings on the flop, Dianne called him all the way down with pocket Aces and Rudders" was no match...

She then called him down again, on an ace high, paired board, with top pair, bottom kicker...Rudders mucked.

[Luthee13]

Colin Erison is the latest to the rail...21 players, 26 minutes left of Day 1a...

[Luthee13]

Liam Winder throws his 6100 in from the small blind, pre flop.

Dianne Chevrier, having limped in mid position, makes the call and turns over

Liam sighs and turns and is waiting for the inevitable King...



Liam doubles through.

[Luthee13]

Richard Rudling Smith and Dianne Chevrier tangle again, fairly friendly this time as it folds to them in the blinds.

They check a flop, Dianne makes a small turn bet and Rudders calls, they check the river.

Dianne announces "one pair"
Rudders says "Well, that is a whole lot of one pair more than I have..." and mucks.
