Cheshire Cat Grins

As our American blogging counterparts near the end of their shift, Djinn and I have set up camp here at the Empire Casino in Leicester Square ready to continue reporting the hot Horse action.

As I arrived, the players were actually on a break, and although there were some inevitable grimaces, there were also some broad Cheshire Cat grins, one of which was being worn by Hendon Mobber Joe Beevers. Joe is currently on 19k, a near double up of his 10k starting stack, and in seemingly good spirits.

Not quite enjoying the same dizzy heights, but with his head just above water nonetheless, is fellow teammate Barny Boatman. Barmy Barny (formally nicknamed 'Bellygance') is hovering around his starting stack, but is in confident mood:

"Razz is probably the most straight forward game," he reported. "You can bluff, not often though. I paired a card earlier on, and it looked good for me, so I bluffed my opponent out of the pot."
