New Chip Leader

"Do you know that gent's name?" I asked Tim Vance, as he had been chatting in a most friendly manner with the gentleman who was by then in possession of a chip-leading 42,000. "Yeah, Allie," was the reply. "Er, does he have a surname?" I enquired innocently.

"HEY ALLIE, WHAT'S YOUR WHOLE NAME?"

Your blogger shrank in embarrassment.

"Allie James Prescott," said the chip leader.

"Allison Mary Prescott," Vance sort of repeated.

"My name's not Allison," said our new chip leader.

Allie James Prescott: chip leader on 42,000 as we go into the last three hands of the day.
