, Adrian Swingler found himself left with little more than a bowl of rice after getting it in with a king, only to find James Kerrane sitting pretty (to Angeline Jolie proportions!) with for the flopped quads. No dramatic king on the river (despite the subterranean, yet sadistic wishes of the table), and the pot was Kerrane's.
Although I've seen a number of dazzling shirts - including Surinder Sunar's purple with white flowers number - perhaps the most eye-opening garb is that adorned by Gerald David. Known as 'Skullman' on the UK circuit, David is wearing the pinkest outfit (including cap) I've ever seen. We certainly won't miss him leaving the room!
Meanwhile, I think Dario Minieri might be the only player in the room wearing a woolly hat, despite the rest of the players sweating like marathon runners from the heat.

flop for a total of about 11,000 putting his opponent to the test.After a good couple of minutes in the tank, he was called by
but Brandborn flipped 
and the 
turn and 
were blanks. There was a countdown of stacks and Brandborn just had his opponent covered and hence has about 22,000 now.
Using Holmesian deductive powers, we're guessing he went out with a big bluff.
Paul Dooley seemed unperturbed, however, and continued to size up his options. The board read
, and Dooley's bet of 2,600 had been pursued by an all in from Snteri Valikoski for around 6,000 more.In the end, Dooley folded, showing
in the process in the hope of catching a glimpse of his opponent's cards. Unfortunately, his curiosity remained unsatisfied as Valikoski quickly threw his hands into the muck and picked up a crucial pot.
And now, at the felt, it appears as though the Poker Gods have continued to smile upon the veteran, runner runner quads pipping what I can only assume was a full house with a king on the river of a
board."I got away pretty cheap there," exhaled relieved recipient Simon Daly. "Yeah, I bet small on the turn because I was hoping you'd raise," confessed Wernick. "You had Nike trainers on," came the reply, "getting runner runner." "I think it's my card number [20-10]," continued Wernick, "been playing 30 years. Maybe a sign from the Poker Gods."
, last year's runner-up Kara Scott raised a river bet of 1,200 to 2,500 eliciting a quick call from her opponent. Scott showed 
to take down the pot and got flashed a king in return.
