One Hour and 33 minutes late a still very drunk Klup turns up.
We heard him as he was halfway up the stairs as he was singing Eye of the Tiger at the top of his drunken voice. Should be a fun afternoon. |

By:
I was in the toilet when I heard a commotion....it was Klup singing eye of the tiger at the top of his voice as he entered the card room. If people didn't know who he was before the tournament they certainly do now. His punishment for the loud entrance....a seat next to Kunku Wap. That'll teach him!!
|

By:
Most people would be focussing on their cards but not the Klup. He is currently filing his nails.

John Tabatabai looks very pleased to be here...

But then a certain greek lunatic turns up...
 |
|
By:
John maybe not so happy when he finds out who is filling the up till now empty seat to his left...

Anthony Cowwell, a local player who bought in directly goes out first when he shoves his flush draw on the an Ace high flop and is called by the monster A4.

By:
An excited Richard calls me over to tell me about a hand with John Tabatabai. JT holding 7 5 of diamonds saw a flop with 2 diamonds the Qd on the river got both players excited especially Richard who had a Royal Flush. Ooops.

After taking Kunku wap out for a smoothie in the break 2 minutes after play resumes he walks towards us with a wry smile. This can only mean one thing he is out. Holding two pair on a flop of Q 10 A (2 hearts) 3 players are all in. The other two had flush draws and you can guess what happened next.....[:(]

 Kunku Wap enjoying a smoothie whilst Hellmuthian Folds gourges himself on an assortment of deep fried food from the casino. (To be fair he is at least washing it down with a fruit smoothie.) |

Kunku Wap's conquerer Chris Pyke looks happy with his double bounty win!!

By:
John having his exit interview with Robin shows he is the epitome of multi tasking as he answers the phone, drinks his smoothie and conducts the interview all at the same time.
Now that what I call talent!  |

Surprise suprise it was 7 2 "soooted" up against A J. No one hit anything - he is down to 15k. Might buy him a dummies guide to poker to remind him that 7/2 is the worst hand in poker. [:p]
