on the river, Yilmaz has him covered by the tiniest margin. The Grinder is gone, Yilmaz is on 85,000.Siiiiiick.
Meanwhile Terry Cook has been on the aggressive after moving into John McCririck's old seat. Just now he took a pot off Dario Minieri, who had raised to 800 under the gun and bet out 1,700 on a
flop, only to find Cook raising to 4,500. Minieri thought about it for a while, and let it go, saying "Show the bluff..." and with no bluff forthcoming, "No good, pocket Queens."Then I spotted his tidy stacks over the line, all of it (38k roughly) preflop, with only 5k so far in the pot. His potential caller Cristiano Blanco looked quizzically at the bet, before deciding he wasn't up for putting the lot on the line and passing. That table has plenty of chips on it, with Francisco Lopez stacking high too, and no doubt plenty of action still to come before the dinner break.
And here is what a more sedate table looks like:
Hoyt Corkins -- 18,200
Zimnan Ziyard -- 24,300
Fabrice Soulier -- 31,900
Josh Gould -- 10,025
Roman Yitzhaki -- 19,000
Matthew Gilbert -- 11,325
John Ridge -- 19,800
Jan Heitmann -- 32,000
Feklisov -- 28,000
The cool Soulier showed up late and proceeded to steadily climb in chips, while there has yet to be a player eliminated from this table.
. There is 14,000 in the pot and your opponent has set you all in for your remaining 12,000 or so. And you have a full house. "There are only two hands I'm afraid of," said Scott Wilson as he folded the
face up to the gasps of some of the surrounding spectators and floor-people. His opponent quietly dragged the pot without showing his hand.
Sherkhan Farnood, currently on 35,000, is enjoying what is my first experience of a finger massage. The masseuses are clearly very talented here, attacking body parts that you simply wouldn't associate with a massage. I even saw ear lobes being given the once over the other day!
I've been tempted all week to request a massage, but I fear my muscular physique might be too much for them to handle and eventually wear them out. Perhaps I should ask for a finger and ear lobe massage instead.
Nuno Geraldes was short-stacked and moved all in. RW Stain moved all in over the top and everyone folded.

The flop was the
and Geraldes perked up since he picked up more outs with a flush draw. The turn was the 
and Stain still led. The river was the , which gave Geraldes a full house. That was good enough to win the pot and the young gun doubled up to almost 9,000.
The biggest stack in the room here at the Fifty at the moment is this guy. Eight bracelets and all, maybe you recognize him.
