Ram is in the House
Jacob Rasmussen and ElkY are both holding huge stacks at the same table, and we're keeping an eye on that one in case they end up locking horns.
Ram Vaswani has just entered the building and if a cash game should develop nearby you can bet your bottom dollar we'll be watching.
Lee Watch: Update
Lee had been working well to get his stack back from 6K up to 12K. Then, after an early position raise and a call in front of him, he called with and the flop came . Lee check-raised all in and was called by . A club on the turn meant Lee lost a pot of about 20K and is now in trouble on just 2800.
Keep the chin up, Lee!!

The media center has moved and is no longer a non-smoking area. Unlike most of the journalists here I'm not a chain smoker but I can't say a word for fear of being forced into exile. Grrrr!!
'Badgirl' Gifted a Nice Pot
The flop came .
The SB decides to lead out for 2,000. Badgirl moved all in for 6,000 and was called. for Xuyen Pham, and strangely, for the small blind.
Badgirl now has over 14,000.

Nice Hand, Sir
Russell looks like he's ready to go trick-or-treating.
Swings and Roundabouts
Turn and Xuyen check-raised. Her full house gets called.
River and she check-called 1500. The villain had . Lovely!
She told him she had a king with a weaker kicker. :)

Our man Lee Mulligan is hanging in there on 3,500. Go on, my son!!
ElkY must have had a chip dump as he's down to 6,500
