Seven hands later we have now lost ONE player & are on the real bubble, or, as the kids call it, pure bubble, on the basis that there are pure bubbles, bubbles, bubble-bubbles, bubble-bubble bubbles &, well you get the drift.
Can't recall ANYONE going out on anything except the "pure bubble" for years. Allegedly.
You might think the tension was unbearable, but on Table Doobs/Maria D they are having a chip backspin contest.
The winner was Steve Watts, who flicked a backspinning chip the full length of the table, it then circled a players stack & returned to Steve. I kid you not, I saw it with my own eyes. As opposed to someone else's eyes.

It appears that the Bubble Boy was a Sky Poker Freeroll Winner, who won his seat as part of the Billionth Hand Promo or associated Freeroll. Posted by Tikay10
Gutted for this lad. Played with him in the 12pm flight yesterday and it was a joy to see how much he was loving his first live game and he gave us all hours of laughs. I hope he comes back for more!
And in better new, Redmond (Lolufold), who I reported earlier was MIA, is in fact still in, he has hiding under a giant hoodie.
He has around 350k.
Matt Percival has staged something of a miraculous recovery, too, he was on around 100k during that ever-lasting bubble, but has 350k or so now I believe.

I'll own up to being the one tweeting about how sadly short some of my relationships have been!
That fire alarm must have been horrible for the players but an even worse logistical nightmare for those running the tournament (and reporting on it). The updates have been really interesting. Thanks.

Terms & Conditions apply.
The tourney has slowed to a crawl, virtually a standstill, whilst Mr One Big tries to double up. And is doing OK, so far.
Meanwhile, The Billy Big Stacks are Bullying the Super Shorties something shocking, so the Shorties are gradually dwindling away.
When that bubble - PURE bubble - pops, there is going to be utter carnage here, I reckon 25 players will go within the next level.
Meanwhile, H4H continues. (Clock is paused, so we have lost at least half a level, maybe more).
2 all-ins on two different tables
First one.........SURVIVED
Unfortunately, the other one......
.....also SURVIVED
Job done.
The exit hand was Q-Q (shortie) v A-Q. Ace on river. It was a Freeroll winner who busted, but am trying to identify if he was one of ours.

Dog Bloke OUT in 90th place for £2,500.
Think he enjoyed himself all weekend, so that's not so bad.

DontTelMum just got near felted, when he got it in for a million chip pot with A-K v A0-J, & Mr Villain hit his Jack.
He has 4 or 5 Bigs left.
Average stack is 625,949
79 players remain.
I gather it has been decided to play three more (50 minute) levels this evening, & then draw stumps.
We were hoping to get down to 2 or 3 Tables tonight, but the fire alarm & then that oh-so-long bubble have delayed things somewhat.
We really did not want the players to have to have another late night tomorrow (or the Updaters....) but that's just how its panned out.
