The chip counts for the lovable rogues are:
Peter Gould -- 7,375
Ian Woodley -- 6,350
Ian Frazer -- 6,800
Meanwhile, Gould junior, Josh, was bemoaning his early departure on the sidelines. "I'm out, someone got it in with a flush and a gutshot straight draw and hit."
Dennis O'Mahoney - 9,600
Will Brewin - 11,600
Cristiano Blanco - 11,475
Tony Salmon - 17,900
