Finnished

Janne-Q and goodnight.
Janne-Q and goodnight.
Janne Nevalainen has been knocked out, pushing with {J-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} from the button and Nik Persaud making a call with the dominating {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades}.

The flop came {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} {6-Spades} and already the Finn was getting his coat. On the {10-Clubs} turn Nevalainen shouted, "Nine!" before realising it wouldn't be any use. Persaud almost had a heart attack on the river before seeing it was the {7-Clubs} and not an eight.

24 players remain.

We're Not Worthy...

It's just not Tyler Bonkowski's level. Steven Noseworthy just pushed in early postion for his last 80,000 or so and Bonkowski reraised all-in from the small blind.

Noseworthy: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Bonkowski: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

{6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} {9-Clubs} {10-Hearts} was the board and Bonkowski takes another hit.

Win With Wilson

Sunday Night Fever
Sunday Night Fever
'Mad' Marty has been living up to his name of late, but I believe it's little more than a reflection of how much he wants to final table this event.

If you couldn't hear the commotion from the live feed - although I expect you could hear, at least, the odd shout - let me fill you in.

Short-stacked and in need of a double through, Wilson was all in with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} versus the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} of Alan Trueick.

The room was rather quiet as the dealer reached for the pack, but as a couple of players wished Wilson good luck, the man from Wolverhampton shouted at the top of his voice, "Come on, Marty! Come on, Marty!"

Armed with his avid self-support, he headed towards the flop: {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Clubs}. "I've dodged the flop!" he screamed. "I've dodged the flop!" As he stepped back, he almost tripped over a table amid the excitement.

Turn: {7-Hearts}

"One more card! One more card!"

River: {5-Hearts}

"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Marty Wilson, the Hevad Khan of the Midlands, doubles through to 210,000.

Having doubled up Marty Wilson just moments earlier, Alan Truick himself was all in soon after, his {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades} in piping hot water against Richard Robinson's {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

"And the flop is..." started Marty Wilson, inexplicably offering his commentary.

"{10-Spades}{K-Clubs}{6-Spades}"

"Big Al needs to catch a king."

Turn: {A-Diamonds}

"Oh my God!"

River: {6-Diamonds}

"Give him a big round of applause, everyone."

"I can't get a word in edge ways," mumbled the disgruntled T.D. as the crowd dispersed.

Join the club!

Free Whelan Or Freerolling?

It's yo-yo time for Maurice Whelan, he opened for 33,000 with about 70,000 behind and Declan Connolly pushed. Whelan tanked for ages before calling with {2-Clubs} {2-Spades}, a strange raise-induce we thought but he was ahead, barely against {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}.

The board came {A-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} to the delight of the Connolly fan club and Whelan was left with 6,000.

This went in next hand where his {K-?} {9-?} held in a three-way pot and he trebled through. He then chopped {A-?} {5-?} against {A-?} {6-?} to win a few more antes.

After this he was all-in with {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} against Tom Hanlon's {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} and somehow manage to win when the board came {2-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {3-Spades} {J-Spades} {5-Hearts} before getting all-in again with {K-?} {Q-?} against {K-?} {Q-?} for another chopped pot.

He's now back up to about 85,000.

Maurice Minor Now Maurice Major

Maurice Whelan has gone nuts, not literally, like screaming about badgers and dressing as a wheelie-bin, but he's managed to turn his 6,000 into almost 200,000 in about 15 minutes.

He was all-in once more with {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts} against Tom Hanlon's {K-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and won once more on an {A-Hearts} {9-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {10-Diamonds}.

With just 3,000, Hanlon exited on the very next hand.
