Frickin' Marvellous

[user46392]
[user46392]
Jimmie Fricke is up to 17,000 after calling another player's shove on a {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} flop. Fircke's opponent turned over {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} for bottom pair and a flush draw but failed to improve on the {K-Hearts} turn or {J-Spades} river, and Fricke's pocket {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} took the pot and sent his hapless adversary to the rail.

Wow, there is some serious money to be won here in the next three days. The total prize pool amounts to an extremely juicy $3,420,690 with first place paying a delicious $607,256. In fact six places will be paying out six figures, and 270 happy people will be leaving this tournament with more money in their pockets than they arrived with, barring accidents in the casino and so on.

Please check the Prizepool and Payouts page shortly for full info.

Marty's No Chicken

Poker media stalwart Marty Derbyshire is down to 11,000 and loudly complaining on all sorts of bad beats, real or imagined. Most recently he doubled up a short-stacked player in that classic coinflip, {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} against the shorty's {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. No help at all on the {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {8-Spades} {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} board and a big sigh from Derbyshire.

Oh Dear

[user46392]

Wandering past Neil Channing's table, I happened upon an exchange between him and Jeff Kimber regarding John-Paul Kelly, currently playing the $1,500 Pot Limit Hold'em final table.

Kimber: "How's JP doing? You've got a piece, haven't you?

Channing: "No, nothing."

Kimber: "Yes you do. You bought a piece the other night."

Channing: "Really? I don't remember that."

Kimber: "You did, I was there. 15 percent."

Channing: "Did I really? I don't remember that at all, I must have been really drunk."

Channing's day has just improved immeasurably.

Grey Skies for Sunny

Meanwhile former big stack Sunny Chattha has taken a massive hit -- he's down to just 13,500 from his earlier chip-lead-contending 35,000. All we know is that he was shaking his head in miserable disbelief as we strolled past his table...
