While We Were Dancing...

Being forced to move our computers around meant we missed a couple of exits. Jarred Solomon, who lost a big amount of chips with {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} to {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} on a {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} board. The rest went in with {A-?} {4-?} but lost out to {K-?} {Q-?}. Also out is Ted Lawson at the hands of Bengt Sonnert, while Vicky Coren will also being going home with just her bus fare.

There are no Enemies at the Table, Just Friends.

With the board reading {4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, Jan Schwarz bet out 5,500 only for Robin Keston to push all in for around 50,000. With Schwarz remaining as still as water, you'd be forgiven for thinking the decision was on Keston, but the Londoner quickly confirmed the situation as he made a request for the clock. "I have a weak heart," he added.

With the tournament director lurking, Mike Matusow exclaimed, "We need a clock, please." "I'm here," replied the T.D. "Sorry, I'm not paying any attention," said the Mouth. "I'm in a conversation with my newfound friend."

"What's your name?" asked Matusow as he shook Chris Moorman's hand.

Whilst Cupid was firing his arrow, Schwartz had relinquished his hand, and the pot went to Keston.

Kid Flummoxed

Daniel Negreanu is facing a 18,000 bet on the river of a {5-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {8-Clubs} board that's leaving him really puzzled. He looks almost irritated that he can't work out what Philippe Rouas. The Frenchman is happy to chat to his opponent before making little patterns with his remaining chips. Eventually Negreanu slaps out the 18,000 probably more due to curiosity than anything else.

Rouas immediately flips {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} to scoop the pot.

Table Talk

With very little action amongst the players at Table 4, players are now having a conversation about multi-accounting.

A few names are being banded around but I wont be mentioning them on here as I don't want a law suit on my head for unsubstantiated claims!

River Fish

Just before break Scott Fischman raised from early position and James Keys called from the big blind.

It was checked all the way to the river where Fischman bet 13,000 on a {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} board.

Keys made the call and was shown {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} by Fischman for the rivered full house. Keys showed {J-?} {J-?}.
