Slowdown
The most active player thus far, although there are a number of fairly short stacks, has been William Haughey, getting all his chips in the middle apparently as often as possible. Most recently he tried it from the button, pushing for all his 87,500 after Talal Shakerchi had made it 11,000 from the cutoff. To everyone's surprise, Shakerchi folded up. Haughey raked in the chips and mucked.
For some entertainment, British poker scene fixture Catman was spotted at the rail, blowing a good luck kiss to Mel Judah.
