17:30: Break time!
17:21: Scott Cooper always having a good time at the table:

17:14: Craig Wilson opens for 11k UTG, Paul Clements calls then Paul Thomson shoves all in from the BB for 91k more! Craig thinks it over but makes the call. Paul C gets out the way and it's Craig's QQ vs Paul's AK. Paul Thomson out in 22nd when the Ten High board provides no help.

17:05: We have 2 cash games running here at the moment. £5/5 PLO (6-card) and £1/2 NL Hold'em. Come on down if you fancy a dash.
17:04: Quite a healthy-looking lunch for a poker player! Nice mugs here at Alea too.

16:57: Meanwhile on another table, Brian O'Connor requested a penalty for Scott Cooper for talking too much. Scott suggested something involving a kettle and the colour black in reply.
16:56: William Brown opens for 9k on the Button but folds to Sam Wardlaw's ship from the SB.
