Graham Masters just doubled through with having moved his 39k stack in preflop in the cutoff. He had to sweat a good while though, as first off small blind Paul Gourlay dwelled for ages before passing, at which point big blind Roy Brindley snap called!
Brindley showed and missed completely, giving Masters a new lease of tournament life. As his stack was counted down by 39k, he turned back to the rail and a guy he was previously talking to and said, "Anyway, that's the kind of form I'm in..."

A few hands after busting Paddypower qualifier and hat enthusiast Dara O'Kearny, Brooke-Pearce raised and then called a push from Tony Cascarino. "Send me home," ordered Cascarino, and that is just what Brooke-Pearce did.

Julian Thew is the latest near-bubble casualty. Before the last break he'd suffered two large beats in a row, and promptly then tripled up to 35,000 and started a comeback. It was curtailed when he got it all in with vs. the of Evan Hunt, no spiking.
As he took his leave, Maurice Harmon remarked to his neigbour Quinn how quickly Thew had lost a big stack. He added, however, "He was very unlucky against me back there."

Paul Testud raised under the gun, and Eddie Kavanagh flat called to his immediate left. Everyone else folded, and they saw a flop.
Flop:
Testud checked to Kavanagh, who bet 5,000. Testud made it 15,000 -- and Kavanagh instantly announced all in for another 35,000. Testud now disappeared into the tank, while Kavanagh disappeared altogether, wandering off across the floor and quietly observing from a distance.
After a considerable dwell, Testud folded face up. Some "oohs" from the table. And indeed some more "oohs" when Kavanagh showed him for two pair.
