Jason Ho and Josh Gould see a flop of . Jason Ho bets out 3,500. Gould the Younger slowly and deliberately counts out a raise and makes it 9,500 to go. Back to Jason, who doesn't think for quite as long before re-raising to 20k. With his head down over arms crossed on the table, it must have been impossible for Josh Gould to get a read on Ho...eventually he passes, bumping his opponent into what looks suspiciously like the new chip lead.
The one hand I did witness saw Peter Gould's 3.2k raise receive two callers in Lee Watts, who I'm being informed is bleeding a few chips today, and Darren Woods in the big blind.
Peter was the only one who seemed interested in the flop, his bet allowing him to pick up the pot uncontested.
Level: 10
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 100
"Should be fun today," said Michigan Jeff. "Yesterday was a bit slow really, didn't find too many big hands, just grinded my way to the final."
Jeff then added a few more interesting details to the Roy Brindley exit from yesterday:
"Jason Ho raised under the gun with Sixes and Roy moved all-in for a huge overbet with Fours. Roy said 'You have overcards to my pair', which triggered a call from Ho who had his man dominated. It was a sick call because he's 50-50 to be 50-50. Actually, I witnessed a lot of crazy plays yesterday."
A few of our finalists have been spotted and therefore confirmed as non-oversleepers: Peter Gould, Patrik Selin, Lee Watts and Jason Ho all enjoying a spot of breakfast in the lush restaurant/bar area beyond the foyer.
Your bloggers haven't forgotten to feed their slim, slender temples - myself going for the burger and chips option, Djinn opting for good old fashioned Bangers and Mash. How British is that?
Estimated start of the action: As soon as Roy can herd everyone into the centre of the room (say, 20 minutes).

Jason Ho 56700
