Kings full Baby!
Tann value bets the river and gets a call. Tann has
and Scotty mucks.Both players are still under their starting stack though, so a long way to go yet.
Ouch!
Sometimes you flop the nuts and it still isn't good enough, Mike Macdonald's hopes of eliminating Erik Joergensen dashed by a rivered straight flush.
All the chips flew in on a

Massage Conga
We have just witnessed our first double massage. As the masseuse gives Roland the once over with her healing hands, the Devilfish completes the tripod of masseusissity by planting the Fish paws on the shoulders of the masseuse.
For a moment, I thought about calling Linford Christie from Record Breakers and adding a fourth member, but that would mean oiling up my mitts and stroking the raw flesh of Mr Ulliott, which I wasn't overly keen on.
Perhaps we could start a massage conga around the casino and truly smash that record. I'd want be at the front though, mainly because I'm lazy.

Brandon Schaefer Eliminated
ran smack into Nicolas Levi's 
on a flop. Neither the on the turn nor the 
on the river could save the young American and he headed to the rail. "Could be worse. At least now I've got a week in London" were his parting words.

Playing Snap
Barny Boatman and Max Katz are playing Snap, it appears. They were both betting their hands pre and post flop, but had slowed by the river, eventually showing down
vs. 
. Both an Ace and a King had popped out on the board and cut off what could have been a most interesting game of chicken.Elsewhere Jeff Madsen has joined the Goodwin/Deeb table filling in one of the gaps left by early eliminatees Tore Lagerborg and Dirk Dijkstra.
