RW StainChoppy Choppy Chop Chop
On the very last hand of the night, actor Neil Pearson (of "Drop the Dead Donkey" fame) raised to 6k from the button after Dave Colclough had limped for 1.2k in the cutoff.
R W Stain dwelt up in the big blind, before pushing all in for 48.8k. Neil only had around half that, but he still made a cracking call with
, perhaps the threat of returning as a short stack influencing his decision.
Stain flipped over
and started praying for an eight. However, although an eight failed to arrive, a split pot did, the 
board meaning Pearson returns on Friday with a short stack whether he likes it or not. -

Jennifer Harman - not busted by Gus todayLast-Minute Bust of Chris Bjorin
Chris Bjorin moved his short stack in preflop, giving Gus Hansen pause for thought before he called with his
. Bjorin showed the live ...
The board came down
, emphatically non-paint-y and knocked out Bjorin on the penultimate hand of the night.
Jennifer Harman remarked to Gus, "You know you've busted every player at this table..." -

van Zadelhoff, last-minute doubler upperI Saw It On TV
Well, technically I didn't, but some of these might be seen by a wider audience:
Steven van Zadelhoff raises to 4,200, called by Gus and Vicky.
Flop:
Vicky checks, Steven bets 12k, Gus passes and Vicky raises -- Steven is now all in...
Steven:
Vicky:
Turn:
River:
So Steven van Zadelhoff doubles up at the expense of draw-bypassed Victoria Coren. -

Yilmaz Has Had Enough for One Day
The day could not end soon enough for Huseyin Yilmaz. After losing the huge pot to Annie Duke, the entire table has started coming over the top of him -- a lot. He looks tired and frustrated. He still has over 100k to take to Day 2, however.
At the same table, Annie Duke is very active late on and capitalising on her big stack. -

Does anyone else's head feel heavy?Lindgren Breaks Massage Record
Breaking news...
Erick Lindgren has just broken the head massage record after having his cerebral temple tampered with for over six hours. The masseuse has utilised a number of techniques, from the skull clamp to the sandpaper rub, but my favourite so far is the multiple karate chop, which she performed with genuine excellence.
As Jonno suggests that, "He must have a lot to think about," I believe he's simply forgotten she's there and won't be happy about the hefty bill. Whether the head massage is more expensive than any other body part, I'm unsure, but I fear that when she finally stops, Erick Lindgren's head might melt or fall off, and no one wants to see that, especially if it gets goo all over the table. -
