    Just been out in the corridors during the second break of the day to speak to Daren. I actually never found him due to the number of bad beat stories that I was told by complete random strangers as I walked down the halls of the Rio.

    I must say I am making every effort to appear interested after all these people telling them have paid $10,000 for the right to tell them.....

    Daren has built his stack up to around 40k.

    Just a took a nice 3 way pot down on a board of 6 8 6 4.

    He showed 10 10 which was generally accepted around the table to be the best hand.

    Action folds to Daren in the cut off who makes it 2000 at 400/800. The Button makes it 5,000 to go and only Daren comes along for the ride.

    The flop is A 8 5 rainbow and Daren fires his last 29k into the middle announcing himself all in. The Button who has roughly 100k insta calls.

    What hands do both player have?

    I won't be as picky as Tikay and ask for suits. The winner wins an £11 Turbo Tuesday seat. You can have an hour....

    I'm hoping Daren's holding pocket 8s and has flopped a set after correctly putting the villain on AK.  I certainly hope it wasn't the other way round.  Was about to crash out but gonna have to sweat Daren for another hour now! LOL.  Incidentally I noticed Moorman just won a huge pot to more than double up and Jake Cody seems to be accumulating steadily.

    TwoAnchors you can got to bed knowing you have won a Turbo Tuesday entry for next week. 

    Daren did indeed have 88 and was snap called by AK to take his stack to 80k.

    Cheers Sam. 

    I could have done with some reads like that when I was playing MTTs earlier.  I'm more pleased for Daren than me though. 80k is a useful stack at this stage.  I'm predicting the bubble being late on level 3 on day 3, it'd be great to see some Sky qualifiers go deep in this.

    Wouldn't be surprised if your next competition is guess every hand that all 9 players at Daren's table get dealt.

    With 5 minutes to go before the 90 minute dinner break, Daren has around 30,000.

    He took a lumpy hit when he doubled up a comparative shortie, on this flop.....

    J-10-3

    Daren had the 8-9 & set Shortie in hoping to win it one of two ways. Neither happened, Shortie called & Daren failed to hit.

    The blinds after the dinner break will be 500-1,000/100, so no need to press any panic buttons yet.

    Daren's guest, or "+1" as they call it, is "HAVEIGOTIT", who has railed Daren for every single hand of the 2 days. 

    That's some feat, I'm not sure I could ever do that. 

    WP him.
