The TD is making his final announcements and then we will shuffle up and deal. Players are still registering but we have about 30 runners to start. If I can get a table draw I will post it here but the seat draw isnt computerised unfortunately.

KarmaDope:
Lots of shouts of "Chips!" after the first hand.

Nobody"s out though :)

A lot of players are taking their second stack straight away instead and doubling up first hand.  

KarmaDope:
David Pilkington was one of the players who did not take his second stack straight away and as a result, he is still in the tournament, albeit with only 20k left and no more bullets.

I arrived at the table to see David raise to 150 preflop, only to see Michael Mason raise to 500. Ger Smyth then called from the BB and Pilkington also put in the required number of chips to see the flop, which was 2s 9d 8d. Ger checked and Dave led into the 3-bettor for 800. Michael quickly raised to 2000 and Ger folded. David decided to call.

The turn was the  A s and Pilkington checked. Mason bet 5k and I"ve never seen the Irritating Man sound so confident as he check-raised pot, which was 20,525, leaving Dave about 1000 back. Somehow, Mason made the call!

The river was the 5d, completing the flush, straight and straight flush. A disappointed Dave shook his head, sighed and bet the last 1k. Michael obviously called and Dave showed Ah Ac x x for top set. Sadly for him, Mason had rivered the flush with Qd Jd x x and scooped the 45k pot, leaving Pilkington cashing in his second stack.

KarmaDope:
It"s a bit more sedate on table 3, where I headed over to see Sean Lassman limp. Asa McGrath raised to 175 from the button and Gary Phillips called from the BB. LAssman flicked in the call and we went 3-way to a flop of 6c 7d 7s.

It was checked to McGrath who bet 300. Phillips folded his hand and Lassman called. The turn was the 2c and both players checked. The river was the 5c and Lassman checked. McGrath bet 600 and Lassman, with a grimace, called. Asa turned over  Ac 7c 3c Ah for the nut flush, with Lassman only having Ad A s 6h x for two pair.
