Svendsen Bubbles After All

To enormous and frankly rather shrill cheering from our remaining 117 runners, we are in the money.

After recovering up to nearly three big blinds, Katja Svendsen got her last in with pocket {8-Clubs}

, but got looked up by Adeline Bui holding pocket {10-Clubs}

. A completely eightless {A-Hearts}

board later and it was the end-sen for Svendsen.

For some reason the announcement that mobile phones and iphones are banned was met with cheering. There is a 10 minute break now; back soon.

Oops

Breaktime apologies to Ms India Storrar -- she was spotted at the rail telling her boyfriend Nik Persaud that she was out, but it turns out that she was merely nipping out for a cigarette and told him that as a joke. She is in fact firmly in the money, and is sitting on around 40,000 in chips.

Also gone is Sandy Kasinowicz -- she got it in from late position with a speculative {4-Spades}

Also busto is Katarina Hardisty. She got it in thoroughly ahead with pocket {Q-Clubs}

against Deb Blair's pocket {J-Clubs}

, and the poker gods made her wait until the river for the dirty suckout.

Board: {6-Diamonds}

Blair is up to a very comfortable 56,000.

Brown is the New Black

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Collette Brown is having an excellent day -- she's up to 90,000 after knocking out Maria Kalantzi.

Brown made it 4,000 under the gun and Kalantzi flatted; come the flop Brown bet another 4,000 and called the 18,500 push from Kalantzi to send her to the rail.

Kalantzi: {A-Spades}
