17:26: Nice fast bubble! Gordon Hannay all in with AK vs Paul Hendry's AQ but the flop comes down AQx and with no help for Gordon on the back door he ends up out bubble boy, in 18th :-(
17:16: Local cash game regular, Rab Welsh, has arrived to see how his mates are getting on. His pick is for a heads up between "The 2 Js", John Stirling and James McAuley. Won't be a quiet heads up if that does happen that's for sure!
17:10: First exit after the break is David Carson! He shoved all in with KT and was called by John Stirling with AQ. John held and David is out in 19th place. We are breaking to 2 tables of 9 now and playing Hand for Hand on the Bubble.
17:01: Dealer photo at the break:
16:59: Full approximate chip counts with 19 left. 17 get paid! Will go to Hand for Hand once we lose 1 more player.
