The beauty of Live Poker is you get to meet such a wonderful array of characters.
By way of a conversation opener/ice-breaker, when I sat next to him on Friday, I asked this lovely looking lad what line of work he is in. His answer, & the backstory, knocked me over.
Guess his job.
First clue - EVERYONE has heard of his job title. But I doubt anyone of you have ever met someone who does what he does.
Does he train jockeys, rather than horses? (I presume someone does)
Alvez moves the remnants of his stack in after that nasty do with his Kings into A-K, & the villain gives it the speech play, tanks for two minutes, & then folds.
And as that ate up several minutes of the clock, we are now on break again.

Does he drill for oil
It feels like an absolute lock that @Tikay10 forgets to tell us the answer to this!
It was one of "our" players actually, & no, I very much doubt he's rich.
It's a very interesting situation actually, & many would agree with a refusal to offer £440 off the top to an extra player. I'm almost sure any good Pro would refuse, because it changes the way the tourney plays. The longer the bubble lasts, & players desperately try to cling on, the better it is for the big stack bubble "bullies" (almost always the better players) who can increase their stack almost at will during this situation.
In my time, I would always agree to it, but that's because I was usually short-stacked & I'm a weak player. Most good players would refuse.

Cabbaz?
BBmike?
Don't believe they have been mentioned as out.

Oh the tension.
You know me too well.

He not not train horses or jockeys, no.
In fact in his line of work he's totally subservient & does whatever he is asked or told.

Probably both still in, I'm flying solo this afternoon & it's a bit of a struggle as I keep forgetting what faces belong to what names.
After that horrible coup, Alzez is still in.
Play has resumed & the never ending bubble is never ending.
Yup, & that's how they get rich I guess.
@Cammykaze
Yup, @TimmyRaRa is still going along nicely.
He'd be an immensely popular winner.
Huge hand just went off but it went to the smaller stack & so H4H continues.
We've now been h4H for best part of an hour.
@bbMike to win for me.
Another All-In & a call & the ghouls all rush to watch the hoped for bust-out, but once again the shorter stack wins.
Lady Fluff is here, so there is no excuse for your absence.
