On a perambulation of the four remaining tables I saw Alex Goulder eliminated by the wonderfully named Gang W ang, A-2 against Kings all in pre when short. A superfluous King on the flop for good measure
Antoine Saout Eliminated by Richard Gryko. Gryko raised Jacks UTG and a short-stacked Saout shoved fives in the big blind, called and no hlep
Brammer appears to have lost chips, possibly to Keith Johnson who has chipped up substantially before Jack O'Neill limped the small blind playing 70,000 at 2,000-4,000
Brammer set him in from the big blind, instant called by 7-7
Brammer flipped 2-2
Sevens held on a paint heavy board and Brammer's stack is now back in the pack

still got an eye on the high roller which is down to two tables and its nitty gritty time
16 left, 9 paid
9th gets £5k, which pays for the week
10th gets nothing
Keith Johnson, who is known as the "silver pigeon" on behalf not only of his crow's feet but his silver hair too, is the chip leader
Keith, when he is not being Mr Benn, is a mild mannered asccountant from Nottingham who plays high stakes cash and MTTs. Had a big result in one of the EPT Dublin events a fortnight ago, a six figure score
He set a lot of the young nottingham players who have emerged in the last few years (deadman, goulder etc) on their way by staking in in the early days
5 1 David Lloyd 300,000 26 1 Oliver Price 750,000 26 2 Nick Hicks 300,000 26 3 Jack O'neill 1,200,000 26 4 Gang W ang 550,000 26 5 Enzo Del Piero 280,000 26 6 Aleksandrs Golubevs 190,000 26 7 Frank Williams 300,000 26 8 Alex Zeligman 200,000
David Lloyd doubled through Price aipf 5-5 v 10-10, 5 on the turn
Nick Hicks chopped an aipf against ONeill A-K v A-K
Then Wllams shoved J-J over a Del Piero raise, he caled with A-J
Ace first card out and we are down to 8
This is likely to go on til 4-5am
Im old and its not the main event so we will go til the main finishes then pop the result up in the morning unless by some miracle it looks like ending imminently
Comments
average is 148,000
blinds go 2-4k
watching the fun Brammer/Saout/Gryko/K Johnson table just before the break
Saout 3,000 UTG
Gryko 8,500 UTG+1
Back to Saout who pulls out the old UTG limp-shove from the 1989 poker textbook, and gets through
--
next hand
Gryko 7,500 UTG
Richard Pearson calls in positionj
Saout comes along in the big blind
all three check down Ts Qd Kd 9s
Saout leads 30,000 on the 8s
and gives it the gallic quizzical look as both fold on the river

Chris Brammer makes it 77,000 playing 250,000
Price shoves
this is UTG and UTG+1
Brammer calls all in with 10-10
Price has Aces, knocks Brammer out and goes chip leader with 600,000
--
Nick Hicks opens and Enzo Del Piero flats in position
Hicks bet bet bet all three streets on 6-A-3-10-7 board, two spades on the turn
Del Piero shoves the river for 150,000 more into a 500,000 pot
Hicks peers at the board, stares at Ezo and after a few minutes contemplation of the futility of a poker player's existence in such spots folds
Del Piero shows A-10
Hicks tells him he had A-K of spades
Del Piero now chip leader
12 left
three shorter stacks on his left and looking to apply pressure
He shoves in the cut off, 9-10 suited covering everyone still to act
On the button Rchard Gryko finds Ace-Kng suited and calls all in
Price spikes an undercard to go to 900,000 and take us to 10 left and the final table bubble
here is oliver, wsop and EPT (3rd in deauvilLe a couple of years back), WPT finalist, GUKPT winner etc
That's what Jack O'Neill, 24yo from Nttingham was doing
Keith Johnson called him in the big blind
flop 5-5-5
Yes.
check check. what else is he going to do?
turn Ace
Yes, it got better for Jack
Two stacks go in, Keith has A-x, i didnt see the x in the hubbub, and is knocked out 10th
Jack goes to the final as a 1.2m chip leader
26 1 Oliver Price 750,000
26 2 Nick Hicks 300,000
26 3 Jack O'neill 1,200,000

with 8 left the average is 40x bb
....and the final result of the High Roller was as follows......
