Qualifier Alexander Still in Late on Day 1c

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Players beckon us over all the time, but usually it's to ask when the next break is or who the big stack around the room is.

This time however, Robert Alexander had another question: "How many players qualified for a penny?" We professed that we didn't know, but Alexander continued "...because I did!"

Alexander is stilling on about average stack with two and a half levels left in the evening.

Brammer Wins a Pot; Still Under Average

Level 9 : 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Middle position opened to 8,000 and Chris Brammer called in the hijack. The flop came {q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Brammer called a bet of 8,000 in position.

The pair checked the {7-Hearts} and {10-Clubs} and the initial raiser showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} but mucked when Brammer showed {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Brammer is sitting on 160,000, under the average of 235,000.

Bets Getting Bigger

Level 9 : 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

On a turn of {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} David Rooney check-called a bet of 55,000 from his opponent Tom Blair. Both had plenty of chips behind in what looked like it was going to become a major pot in the tournament.

The river {2-Clubs} however killed the action with both players checking. Blair showed {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} but Rooney took down the pot with {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

"If he shove the river," said a tablemate to Rooney, "You start to cry!"
