    Yes Tom Rutter

    Tom is a very talented poker player but was off the scene for a long time studying to become a Doctor

    He qualified, became a GP, and for a while returned to playing poker recreationally

    He then stopped, and I didn't see him around at all

    A couple of weeks ago I found out that Tom had been working in the A and E of a big hospital in Australia for a year, a working holiday from which he is now back

    This week is his first festival back.

    Lee Taylor from Bolton

    A Bolton Wanderers fan, in fact. Unlucky Lee

    Lee is a mature student. So mature, that he's been a student for years

    History is his thing, specifically Irish Cntemporary history

    He went to Bristol University for a year

    "I found it too tough and found poker, gradually poker took over and i took time out of being a student"

    Not unsuccessfully either, a regular on the UK circuit with GUKPT and GPS final tables and WSOP cashes too

    "I am going to go back and finish off at the Open University" he tells me. In history, not poker

    Ben Dobson is from Dorset and plays successfully online as f3nix35

    Ben's breakthrough live result was when he won a leg of the France Poker Series  in Amnéville for  €70,000

    Those of you with good memories may recall that Ben, who travels up to DTD very regularly for the bigger events, won the UKPC Six Max event in February here for £40,000

    Free massage for priority club members right?  How many runners do you think there will be on day 1c roughly?  Looking forward to it.

    Posted by bbMike
    8 left, 7 paid

    i put the payouts up earlier

    £55k
    £35k
    £25k
    £18k
    £12.5k
    £9.5k
    £7k

    Dave Shallow is the chip leader ahead of Craig McCorkell and Anthony Nicholls

    Stuart would be 4th-5th of 8 but comfortably stacked

    its been a long bubble, playing deepstacked with only one stack at risk currently, Rob Hallworth from Bristol who is the shortstack

    Shallow is 4 handed with Ben Jones, Dan Rudd and Elior Sion and tough to play.

    He just 4 bet a Jones button raise/Rudd small blind 3bet, from the big blind, getting two folds

    then check raised Rudd small blind v button on the flop, getting another fold
