Steady as She Goes

It's been rather slow going for the man known as the most nipped player in history. "I've played three hands, and drunk four cups of tea," reported a barely awake Neil Channing. "I'm hoping to maintain that ratio throughout the day." But with 11,300, at least he's winning the ones he's playing. If he keeps up this pace, he'll come back with a monster stack of 15,000 tomorrow and be challenging for the lead... in drinking tea.

Daniel Alaei Eliminated

Receiving hands second-hand is sometimes like being on the tail end of a game of Chinese Whispers in a night club, but on this occasion, I deemed my source to be reliably trustworthy . According to the poker vine, Daniel Alaei hit two pairs against pocket aces, but was counterfeited when the board paired on the end. Consequently, he's now out.

Cowboys Lasso the Ladies

Sid Harris raised it up preflop to 600 with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, his neighbour made it 1,500 with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Harris called. On the {10-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Harris led for 3,000, his opponent put him all in and Harris called. A {5-Diamonds} turn and {A-Spades} changed nothing, and Harris doubled through to 25,000.

Noah Boeken Eliminated

Noah Boeken looked like he was picking up momentum. He nearly tripled up with a shortstack when he shoved with Kings from the small blind in a multi-way pot. That hand put him over 10,000. However, the young Dutch player busted out shortly after.
