    the high roller s on a break with 29 of 86 remaining

    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

    There are 23 left in the high roller

    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

    GL to Mr Price!

    Oliver Price opens to 22,000 playing 322,000

    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

    so approaching the final table and short-handed Oliver Price was in a nice spot

    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

    So you are stealing 5 handed on the final table bubble with Q-5

    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

    Been watching the early stage of the final

    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

    with 8 left the average is 40x bb
