Fantastico
board. Fabrizio Baldassari took one peak at his cards before raising to 7,000. Hawrilenko called.On the
river, Hawrilenko checked, triggering a bet of 16,000 from Baldassari. After some brief umming and aahing, Hawrilenko made the call, but was swiftly shown 
.
Trickett Not Playing Games
Four players limp/checked their way to a
flop, and Trickett took the initiative and bet out 1,425 from the small blind position. The big blind and under-the-gun limper both passed, but Terrence Chan in the cutoff made the call.Trickett bet out 3,600 on the
turn and Chan called again. He called with a 5,000 chip and a 100 chip, meaning to be helpful to the dealer; it took her a minute to work it out anyway, telling the table, rather worryingly, "As you can see, I'm not a poker dealer." Interesting. Anyway, they saw a
river and Trickett now bet out 8,925. Undeterred, Chan made the call -- but mucked when Trickett turned over the goods in the form of a 
full house.
Wang Wangs Chips to Thew

, six on the river. "He bluffed off most of his chips to me earlier," reported Gould.
Nobody Knows the Hand That Elliot Seen, Nobody Knows But Elliot
After a brief trip across the room to witness Julian Thew doubling through Michael Wang, we returned to Table Todd Brunson to discover that the pot had escalated into a monstrous thing.
The board read
and Mr. Small Blind bet out 25,000 -- and back over to Elliot, who raised all in for 28,000 more. Mr. Small Blind made a puffy 'oh no' kind of noise and tanked up for a little while, allowing a team of TV people to congregate around the table in readiness for a showdown. It wasn't to be, though -- Mr. Small Blind folded, and Elliot took the pot."Two pair?" hazarded Mr. Small Blind as he assessed the damage to his formerly very healthy stack. "Who knows," was the only response from Elliot.
Either way, he's over 100,000 now.
It's Oh So Quiet
One table in particular is so quiet you could hear a mouse blow wind. As neighbour Michael Binger and Sami Kelopuro receive symmetrical massages, Julian Thew rests his chin on his hands, as if battling against impatience as he considers the prospect of nurturing his short stack for yet another level. Meanwhile, Christian Harder and co listen to his ipod, trapped in their own worlds, whilst David Williams taps away at his phone, either Twittering or sports betting.
As for the action, raise-fold-fold-fold seems to be the order of the day with each player treading carefully amid challenging company. No one wants to make a costly mistake, and no one wants to have to leave the VIP room and emerge from the cloth, defeated and £10,000 down.
Sandra Survives
board for 22,900 with about the same in the middle. Her opponent was trapped in temptation, but failed to succumb. After the hand, one player confessed, "I would loooooove to know what those cards were." "Maybe we could each pay her five pounds," suggested another. "Tell you what," added Karl Mahrenholz, "give me 50 pounds and I'll just turn them over."Harsh, but excellent business plan.
Hicks Pushes
Annette Obrestad is also on this table with 55,000.
