Yeah! Woo!

Adam Adler raised in early position, but Jonathan McGowan made it 320,000 from the small blind. To cries of, "Yeah! Woo!" from McGowan's friends at the rail, Adler folded and McGowan won the pot.

Off the Grid

Incidentally, it turns out that Jim Geary is not just bored -- he is actually a renowned crossword champion, and is clearly keen not to let that skill slide just because he's gone very very deep in a poker tournament. Every time he finds that no decision is required of him, he goes back to his crossword on a side table. Marvellous.

Back at the Table

Products have been successfully advertised, and they're back at the table. Except for Jonathan McGowan, who's still in the bathroom. No matter, cards are in the air.

...And McGowan has now sprinted back in, just in time for the second hand -- he got a walk. By the by first hand Geary moved all in from the small blind, but big blind Adrian Dresel-Velasquez wasn't interested.

Rho Still Chip Monster

Touching his ear for good luck

Peter Rho has picked up another pot, this time his {Q-?} {10-?} coming good against Jonathan McGowan's pocket nines on a {7-Spades} {3-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} board. The stacks are hard to see form the press corner, but it looks as though he's over 4,000,000 now -- nearly half the chips in play.

Adrian Dresel-Velasquez Eliminated in 6th Place ($92,867)

Dresel-Velasquez - no more CTRL V for this blogger
Dresel-Velasquez - no more CTRL V for this blogger
Short-stacked Adrian Dresel-Velasquez announced all in -- and in the big blind, Adam Adler called.

A showdown!

Dresel-Velasquez: {Q-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Adler: {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}

Board: {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

Raucous drunken cheering from Adler's rail buddies, and a thoroughly gentlemanly Dresel-Velasquez smiled, shook hands and went on his merry 6th-place way.
