After Dinner Mint
by Court on 09.28.08, 6:08 pm
Sunday night in Leicester Square is a whole different ball game than Friday and Saturday night. As dinner break was wrapping up just before 10pm, the square was pretty much shutting down tonight. This is London, so anywhere, anytime of night there are a few people milling around, but last night the area was absolutely packed with partygoers and hucksters trying to sell any trinket or token they think they might be able to pawn off on a drunk.
Tonight after dinner the action outside was quiet, but the situation at the tables inside the Empire Casino was much the same, only with different faces behind the chips. The after dinner action has been hot, with double ups and bust outs a plenty. Jamie Rosen has jumped to the chip lead with over 130k while Matt “ch0ppy” Kay (left) and Alex Jacob have went the other direction and been eliminated.
Adam Junglen had a minor setback when he opened to 800 and Josh Ladines moved in over the top for 5,775 all in. Junglen seemed pained but made the call saying “you have to have at least 2 overs,” and showing his pocket fives. Two overs was what he was up against with Ladines having the T
9. The board came 9
6
447
and with the first card out on the board Ladines had made a pair and was able to double through Junglen. The hit was a small one for Adam, dropping him to around 25k.
Brian “sbrugby” Townsend has been moved to the feature table, but before his table broke he was able to double up when his AK held up against J8 in an all in preflop situation. Townsend is now just under 30k as he goes to over the the lights and cameras section of the tournament.
