It’s the very last hand of the day and James with JJ’s against Tristan with AA’s.  The former is just covered and won’t be returning later after all.  He pays his dues to his therapist and goes off in search of therapy.

Not this time, Louise.  It’s Andrew Georgiou’s day as he has KINGS against her A9 and he spikes another.

That’s about it for today.  Chip counts will be up within the hour.  Players are now bagging and tagging.  We’ll see you later today for Day 2 proper, with approx 74 players returning from both Day 1’s.

He timed his run well - straight into the ACES of Fuad Serhan.

A disinterested William Martin going great guns yet again.

The clock is stopped and James Akenhead is asked to draw the number of hands we’ll play afore we ends the night.   It’s a 6!

The welsh chip fryer still going strong after taking out Hugh Kirton (9h7h) with his AQ (making aces full of queens, but all-in preflop)

Albert and James Keys are all-in on the Js3s9s flop.  It’s a 60k pot and Albert has KdJh UTG.  James has QcTs and quite a big draw.  In fact, James is a 60-40 favourite.  He doesn’t make it and is left with 12k.

He has two red tens.  They hold up and he’s over 35k now.

Down to 6 tables and 50k ave. chips

Blinds 500-1000 ante 75 and the ultimate level today : 67 left
