With a flop of Laura Rhoden bets 700...out of turn! She is told that her bet stands and, for the rest of the hand, she loses her aggressive action - she may only call or fold...

Scott Berridge calls her bet and they check the turn and river and Scott wins with Ace high.

Laura reckons that she could have bet him off it...

Are there rules about updaters stalking people!?

Yes, if you speak about them unfavourably, you get a 1 orbit ban.

Who is stalking you anyway?

In other news...Steve Redfern has...well...all the chips! He has taken out around 4 players and is now sat with 89k.

He could go on to be the most famous Redfern at this rate...

Adam Smith and Richard Baker hand me their player tracking cards at the same time.

When I asked Curly what happened, I got this:

"I lost"


So I asked again...I wish I hadn"t: "I had aces 3 of 4 hands. first two times everyone folded. 3rd time I get called by Queens and he hits a queen. I have some left, so I raise with . Flop comes down King, six, seven. I go all in and get called by the small blind who has King seven. The turn is a six so I make my house! River is a king. I lost"


Ouch.

Roy Powell, Don Roberts and Anthony Johnson are the latest to the rail.

Kev O"Driscoll is one of the two latest to hit the rail when his opponent hits a flush on the river...from Kev and others" faces, I"m not sure the play was what they expected...

Nonetheless, Kev and Daniel Gravell are sent to the rail
