Robert Swindells has 9,000 but is "having a nightmare tournament"

Why?" I enquire (should have known better)

" I am to the right of a very aggresive player who calls every raise, hits every flop and has now doubled up. I can"t do anything"


I suggested he played tighty poker. Comes back in three hours.

Big hand

Paddy Winterbottom raises with Aces, called by Phil Starrs with 65 and Jamie Reeve of Blue Square with 33

flop an action-tastic 6-6-3


Winterbottom bets, Reeve calls and Starrs shoves. Inevitably all three end up all-in and Reevio trebles up leaving the other two short-stacked


Kev Ridley meanwhile ahs recovered from 75 chips to 1300. Now that would be a story if he went deep!

The Legend of Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem

The original Castle of Nottingham was established on the rock in the year 1068 by William Perverill for William the Conqueror. Perverill caused the course of the River Leen to be altered to pass by the foot of the rock, partly as a moated defence and partly as a water supply for the Castle.

After the building of the Castle, one of the first additions would have been the Brewhouse.
