We were alerted to the presence of a table-dynamic shifting pot with the words, "Oh well, end my reign of terror," from Alexander Scales. Marc Foggin's remaining 40,000-odd stack was in the process of being counted out to award him a double through; the board was standing ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and Foggin's ![]()
had claimed the pot. Which street the majority of the chips went in on is unknown but Scales apparently had held aces.

Two limpers entered a preflop pot before Luc Connor-Hartley made it 3,500 to go. Neither was dissuaded from seeing the flop - even though fitness influencer and keen poker amateur Zac Aynsley was left with just 2,000 chips.
The flop: ![]()
![]()
. Aynsley took the plunge, the second pre-flop caller threw in the 2,000 - followed by the rest of his stack when Connor-Hartley moved in for 20,000 (covering him).
Connor-Hartley: ![]()
![]()
Aynsley: ![]()

Third player: ![]()
![]()
The turn brought the
and the river the
; two scalps and a much more playable stack for Connor-Hartley.
Aynsley has plans off the felt with Chris Moneymaker, incidentally. He's going to teach him his fitness routine, and it's going to be on video...

Chris Fraser is now at the same table as chip leader (and clearly his mate) Hamza Nasir, who got the verbal rubdown for accidentally opening to 5,000 a minute ago having misread the big blind (600) for a 1,500 open. Fraser paused in his Nasir-related banter to open under the gun to 1,500 just now, and found Sean Robertson moving all in for his last 9,500. Back to Fraser who made the call.
Fraser: ![]()

Robertson: ![]()

The board: ![]()

- no paint, and Robertson hit the rail.

A new table and new challenge for Jeff Kimber, who set to work immediately four-betting big-stacked Alexander Walton preflop. He'd opened, been raised to 4,000 and promptly made it 10,000 to go - no call from Walton.

Action back on McArthur, he moved all-in for over 50,000, setting Downer what turned out to be a tough question - the clock was almost called. Downer folded and McArthur announced, "The nuts."
Downer: ![]()

Collins: ![]()

turn came down. The river was the
