BREAK CHAT with your host, ME
Nic Szeremeta: "I have the mad Finn (Ilari Sahamies) on my left with about 60k and he"s raising, raising with any two cards all the time. I can"t get into a pot. He raised with K-8 offsuit, caught an Eight on the flop and after investing 7k called a guy all-in on the turn with the board reading 4-5-8-J for 17k! They guy had 4-5 suited for two pair - Jack on the river."
Rumit Somaiya: "It"s a LONG day. I just hope I don"t make any mistakes in the last hour - I"m pretty happy with how I"ve played today." He has 21,500
Jerome Bradpiece (back to 8k) lost a huge pot earlier with Aces (a hand he seems to be dealt at least once a round): raising on the button, he got the small blind calling 1,200 and check-raising all-in (10k) on the jc

Simon Hennessey: "A big stack - possible chip leader - with over 80k just got moved to my table and has been going crazy - knocked two people out while I was getting Jerome a drink. I can"t believe I folded this..."
So what did he fold? Well, ad
in the small blind, he made it up after Crazy Big Stack limped preflop. A-8-
flop, and he check-called when Big Stack bet 2k. The turn brought the
- Simon bet out 2k, the big stack looked at his small stack and threw in 20k. Flush draw, said his brain, "fold" went his hand, apparently. Meanwhile a player on one of his earlier tables just wandered up to ask if he"d been correct folding Aces to Simon earlier. Yes, yes, it had been a set. "I had a feeling you were a nit."
