Dave Colclough has been waiting for the right moment to stick his modest stack in but his K Q could not improve against Luke Abolins holding A9 and El Blondie will not be returning for day two.

David chipping up

Sat, Sep 20th 2008, 00:22 by Reporter

We arrived at table 1 just in time to see G David raise Lee Birchall’s river bet of 4000 to 16000 with the board reading 5 3 8 6 7
Birchall doesn’t like the look of the third spade but makes the call anyway with 3 3 for bottom set.
Sure enough David shows 10 K for the flush and he secures a nice pot which should see him through to day 2 safely.

Shahid survives

Sat, Sep 20th 2008, 00:17 by Reporter

A very short stacked Shahid moves all-in, in late position with K8 and is called by Heer who tables pocket 10’s

Shahid manages to hit a King on the river and surivies for a little longer.

Final board: 8 J 7 5 K

Ahmadi - Out

Fri, Sep 19th 2008, 23:58 by Reporter

Ahmadi hits the rail while moving in with pocket 9’s and running into Queens.

It went from bad to worse when his opponent caught a Queen on the flop.

A worthless 9 on the river sent Ahmadi home.

Final board: J Q 3 A 9

Changing fortunes

Two of our bigger stacks not so long ago have burned through a lot of chips in the last level. Dave Colclough is now down to around 20,000 whilst Mustafa Sepanji has only about 25,000.
Meanwhile Zachary Ford is the chip leader with about 137,000

Dring's final fling

Fri, Sep 19th 2008, 23:42 by Reporter

Short-stacked David Dring got it all-in with ace-six on the button only to find small blind David McCrone wake up with pocket kings. The board ran out J 8 4 K A sending Dring the rail.
