Caz here....

The first player out was........

Simon Auckland for England. He was down to 350 chips after losing his trip Jacks to a flush.

Not long after he picked up   :: with four limpers pre flop.  After the flop all checked, and a 2nd diamond on the turn, Simon has a flush draw and gut shot straight.

Simon pushes All In but doesn"t hit and top pair wins, and Simon is gone.

[APAT]

Another player down.....

Victoria Szilasi - Hungary All in against Darren Shallis (Wales) with AJ, Darren turns over KK

Flop K T X for inside straight draw needing Q, but no help on turn or river.

Darren wins with trip K"s

We"ve just lost Steve Stringer of England, when his Queens lost to the Aces of German player Thomas Schmidt.  Thomas made quads when the board had been dealt!  Tough start for England with two players out early, without scoring points.  The pressure increases on Bob Malin and Linda Iwaniak.

Early days yet, COME ON ENGLAND!!!

Interesting hand on table 2.  Geza Szabo of Hungary raised to 200 and Ireland"s Colin O"Prey called speculatively with 5 8 offsuit.  The flop brought K 8 8 Both checked. Turn was a 5.

All in after the turn.

River came a K.

Colin doubles through.
