25/25 Series Merchant City - Day 2 - Level 18 (6000/12000/1000)

19:03: Blinds up!

19:01: Rejus Zemaitis getting into a bit of bother from the TD for speaking non-English to his mates on the rail when a hand is in progress. Repeat offender by the sounds of it.

18:57: Paul Fallon out in 17th for £400. Rejus Zemaitis was the benefactor.

18:52: Janice McLean shoves all in UTG for 105k and gets it through.

48: On Table 1 Gordon Wood opens for 30k UTG. Keith Christie calls on the button and it's heads up. Flop Ac 7h 2h. Gordon bets 30k and gets it though. He shows an Ace as he drags in the pot.

18:46: Paul Kerr out in 18th for £400. He shoved a short stack all in with QT and was called by Paul Gupta's AA which held up.

18:44: Dean Lyall's stack moving upwards. Hard to say exactly how much as he does not stack it neatly.

18:42: David Gillis all in preflop with 22 vs Paul Kerr's KJ.  The Deuces hold and David gets a double from 151k.
