Rule Britannia

The UK doesn't have too many representatives here today, but those who did stump up the €8,000 buy-in seem to be hanging in, if failing to threaten the chip lead.

Former GUKPT winner Mazhar Nawab, for example, has been located. He just check-called 1,200 on an {8-Clubs}

flop before folding to a 2,500 bet on the {4-Hearts}

turn, and being shown {A-?}

for his troubles. Nawab still has 45,000 though.

Other members of the British contingent include Surinder Sunar with 25,000, Richard Wheatley on 37,000, Stephen Chidwick with 42,000, Robin Keston on 40,000 and Stuart Rutter with 10,000, the latter somewhat chagrined after folding two pair to a raise on the river. "I'm pretty sure he had me," he concluded.
