Another 90 minutes to play today

Sat, Oct 25th 2008, 00:11 by Reporter

There are 20 minutes left of level 8, we will then have a short break before the final level of play. There was talk of play ending earlier but with very little action this last level, and more players anticipated for tomorrow than started today, a few more will have to be eliminated before the night to keep the final day’s numbers reasonable.

Reid's off?

Fri, Oct 24th 2008, 23:50 by Reporter

Stephen Reid makes it 3100 to go from the cut-off and Paul Hambleton makes the call from the SB. The flop comes 2 A J and Paul checks with Stephen following quickly behind.

The turn brings the A and although the action is the same, this time Stephen takes a while longer to check his option. The river brings the apparently meaningless 4 but this time Paul puts a small 3000 bet into the pot. Stephen doesn’t think about it and simply mucks his cards.

Our previous chip leader has taken a few hits and is down to 30,300.
