Jacks Good For Bartlog!

[user50492]

A short-stacked Mark Bartlog pushed for 6,000 pre-flop with {J-Hearts}

and was called by a player holding {A-Hearts}

.

The

flop was not what he wanted to see and the {Q-Spades}

on the turn did not help him. The {J-Clubs}

on the river was just what he needed to double up to 13,000.

Vindaloo Good For Thew!

[user50492]

Julian Thew went for a pre-tournament curry with Matt Tyler before play started today. When I asked how he got up to 61,000 chips, "curry power" was the answer. He has been taking a lot of small-to-medium pots to double his stack and give himself a shot of following his recent GUKPT win with an EPT one.

Unfortunately, it has not worked so well for Matt as he has dropped to 4,900.

Surinder Still Climbing!

[user50492]

Surinder Sunar is in a much more buoyant mood today. This is because he has tripled up during the first level, and now has 21,800 in chips. The way he was playing yesterday, that could be enough to final!
