Scott a Little More

Andrew Scott reraised all-in for an additional 1,250 with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} against an early position raise to 650. He was called by {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades} and the board came out {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts} {5-Spades} {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} giving Scott the double to just over 4,000.

Diamonds Prove a Girl's Best Friend

A midposition raise to 900 was flat-called by British pro Paul Parker before the lady behind him moved all-in for an additional 3,000 more. The original raiser folded and after a minute or so, Parker made the call with {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} and was up against {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}, which got there by the river of a {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} board.

It's a Numbers Game

As we settle down after the dinner break we have 1,017 players left out of the 3,012 that started. That means we have lost around 5.5 players every single minute.

As hard as we try we couldn't quite report all of them!

The Only Way Is Up For Somerville

Jason 'JCarver' Somerville has just doubled to over 6,000.

There was a raise to 525 and a call, Somerville squeezed behind and the initial raiser folded but the caller decided to give him a spin with {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}, Somerville flipped {7-Spades} {7-Hearts} which held on a {K-Clubs} {5-Spades} {9-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} board.

Markholted

Lee Markholt has busted just now. The cards he chose to go with were {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. He got action from two players with {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} and {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. A lot of help was needed for him to triple up but the board ran {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {A-Clubs}.
