MarkTheShark:
the play and the atmosphere is loosening up now with just under 40 minutes to the end of P1.
we lost Michael Holmes in 16th place on Table 1 (eliminated by Michael Richards) and then we had an amazing 4 way all in shove fest - with Dann Williams, Stuart Oliver and John Murray all committing their stack against Gordon McArthur
Hands were :
Dann : 33
Stuart : AK
Gordon : AQ
John : AT
Flop came 58K, J on the turn and a 5 on the river.
After everything was sorted, Dann was eliminated in 15th place, Stuart won the main pot (about 130k), Gordon won the side pot (about 15k) and John was at zero - but was able to use his top up - the last player to do so - so he remains in the game.
Tony Johnson has now moved to S3 on T1 to join in the carnage as we are now 7 handed on each table as the cut off looms.....
MarkTheShark:
massive hand developed between Rodders and Dave Howard - Rodders had raised from the SB to which Dave had called - the flop came 4d 7s Jh - Rodders checks, Dave bets, Rodders calls - 4s on turn - check bet call....river brings 5h...here Rodders leads out £26 to which Dave shoves for £79. Rodders tanks and eventually mucks, tapping the table in appreciation of Dave"s play. Dave takes the chips and mucks his cards without showing.

After losing that big pot, Steve Roderick calls it a day and cashes out for around £70 - he places 14th.
Then Vaino Tiik goes out in 13th, closely followed by Martin Dodsworth, down in 12th.
11 handed with 11 minutes remaining.
Ply is briefly interrupted as shouts, screams and high fives abound as on a cash table in the poker room, the Bad Beat Jackpot is won - quad 4s losing out to quad As - nearly £20k won!

thrilling end to Phase 1 as John Murray, Michael Richards and Tony Johnson battled it out to get into the final 9 from the 11 remaining.
We had decided to go 9 handed for the FT as we had started 9 handed - and it meant more chips on the FT to account for the lower than expected numbers.
Chips flew around and it looked like Tony Johnson would be going out with Michael Richards - despite him doubling thru Gordon McArthur with 86 v AK - but the Keith Smith threw a spanner in the works by declaring he was cashing out for around £140.
This meant that Michael Richards went out in 10th - a couple of quid shy of the total of Tony Johnson.
It was a really exciting conclusion.
So the players are now enjoying a short break as we set up the FT - the table will line up as follows :
Seat 1 David Howard - £176.00
Seat 2 Clive Moore - £150.00
Seat 3 Chris Webber - £265.50
Seat 4 John Murray - £115.75
Seat 5 Rob Finch - £161.00
Seat 6 Gordon McArthur - £186.50
Seat 7 Stuart Oliver - £121.75
Seat 8 Glenn Richardson - £231.00
Seat 9 Tony Johnson - £97.00
Play will restart in about 5 mins
