Dion's Dublin Adventure
Wright raised preflop and then check-raised all-in on a
flop. Dion called for his stack with 
and was up against the drawing 
. Wright missed all his outs on the 
turn or 
.The latter was knocked out soon after as a result.
Rumit for Improvement
On the first one, he bumped it up to 2,800 from the button and received one caller in Andre Klebanov in the small blind. On the
flop, Klebanov led for circa 10,000, and Somaiya called. Both players checked the 
turn, as well as the 
river, although Rumit confessed, "I really should value bet this, but I won't". But it was lucky he didn't in the end, as his opponent had 
to out-kick his 
. After picking up the blinds and antes with
on the next hand, Somaiya was in the thick of it once again a few moments later, raising it up to 2,800 from the hijack. This time, however, resistance was met in the form of Allen McAuley who pushed all in for an additional 9,100. "I must call, I guess," possibly wasn't what McAuley wanted to hear as he tabled 
against Somaiya's . A 
board later and Somaiya had retrieved the chips he'd lost earlier, and earned a scalp to boot.
No Free River for Mason
board, Jen Mason was faced with a circa 10,000 river bet. Her opponent looked as guilty as OJ, which may have induced the call, but either way, he had the goods this time with 
. "Good hand," commended Mason with a smile, who, with around 80,000, has suffered a minor chink in the armour.Edit: Mason just informed me that she called a button raise and check-called both the turn and river, the latter for 12,000. "It was such a big bet," she told, "and one of those situations where he either has the world or nothing. He'd also been raising a lot of hands, and there was a good chance he had a missed draw."
More Sherbet For Herbert
Patras Christos moved in with a short stack and Herbert called before Koen Reefman reshoved behind. Herbert quickly called this push too.

couldn't improve anyone enough to overtake Herbert's cowboys and he greedily raked in a big pot.
Feldman Suffers Bonk On The Head
The board read
and Feldman had the clock called on him after tanking for ages. As the clock counted down he lifted the cards so high that everyone behind him could see the 
that he was considering mucking.Finally he threw the cards towards the dealer, Bonkowski showed
for a beaten top two pair that had pushed the set out of the hand.
No Bad Beat for Bad Beat
It had been a topsy-turvy day for the recent GUKPT London runner up, Channing regaling your reporter with his tales of woe which involved numerous hands, such as doubling up with
versus 
, and later 
versus 
which made quads, but also doubling up an opponent with 
versus 
.He was slightly more coy about his exit hand, so I can only expect it was rags, but he did say he was short stacked at the time and had to push.
When asked about the structure, Channing reported, "Yeah, I like the structure, but on the feature table we're playing a different structure to everyone else. I don't want to sound like too much of a whinger because TV poker has been very good to me, but we're playing fewer hands than everyone else, and when we lost a couple of players, they didn't refill the seats."
Life of Brian
out-gunning on an 
board. Martin now up to 30,000.
Three's a Crowd
comes up against the 
of David Navarro, as if to say, 'Well, fair enough if I lose this one.' But each hand is independent of another in poker, and a third victory would mark a remarkable comeback for the Brummie Bandit.
But it wasn't to be on this occasion, and after a
board hit the felt, Navarro doubled up, whilst Rutter dropped to 17,000.
