"Yeah, Man!"

Grrr for drrr
Grrr for drrr
A preflop raising war sees Tom "Durr" Dwan raise to 4,600, Lawson make it 20,800, Dwan push all in and Lawson call.

"You have aces, right?" asks Dwan.

Lawson = {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Dwan = {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Flop = {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

"Yeah, nice hand," concedes Dwan.

Turn = {4-Hearts}

River = {3-Clubs}

Aces hold up as Lawson exclaims, "Yeah Man!" and high-fives a ladyfriend on the rail.

In G We Trust

A few of the players are complaining about the premature end to the day.

Tony G has quickly silenced them.

"It's PokerNews contract law, you cant make them stop up this late!"

God bless you, Tony.

Field Update

We have seven tables remaining, with 58 players. The average chip stack is around 53,000.

No word yet on whether we will be playing to the final table or not today. I've just had word from the Harrah's guys that the latest we can play to is five, and their estimation is we will be playing to 18 players. Nothing is set in stone as yet and the blinds may be able to give us a better indication in the rounds to come.

Marco Traniello Eliminato

"I wonder how Jen is doing at the final table?"
"I wonder how Jen is doing at the final table?"
Marco Traniello was all in preflop against Ted Lawson.

Traniello: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Lawson: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The flop was {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river was the {9-Clubs}. Lawson turned a straight and rivered a bigger straight to send Traniello to the rail. After his elimination, he rushed over to the final table of the £2,500 HORSE to sweat his wife, Jen Harman.
