Failing to Holden

[user4144]

Another man down in the shape of Jean Frohle. He found himself in piping hot water as his {A-Hearts}

ran headfirst into the {A-Spades}

of Edward Holden. The {8-Spades}

provided no glimmer of hope, and Frohle was gone.

Mike Ellis Eliminated

[user4144]

Mike Ellis found his coin buttered the wrong side, his {9-Clubs}

failing to survive a {4-Spades}

against Daniel Albright's {K-Hearts}

.

If they keep up this pace, we'll be done by lunch!

No mercy for Isabelle. She found herself all in against two other players. She held pocket nines against 8-8 and 10-10. The board ran out Q-7-6-9-8. The player with tens rivered a straight and busted Isabelle's set.

No Cake for Jeff

[user4144]

It's been a bad start for the Brits, Jeff 'Jaffcake' Kimber forced to regale tales of woe in the bar with messeurs Parker and Channing. He was expectedly dejected in defeat, and wasn't keen to share his exit, but armed with a jar of vaseline and a giant crowbar, I managed to prise out his final hand. "I had K-J, pushed all in preflop, and ran into aces in the blind."

Andre Outassi

[user4144]

Nicky Romanello is short-stacked with around 15,000, but not letting himself get blinded away. He just pushed all in preflop to pick up the blinds and antes uncontested.

Also hanging on is Team PokerStars Pro Andre Akkari. Sadly for him, he's hanging onto his pint at the bar after being eliminated just a few moments ago.
