Joe Ebanks has just informed us that he lost a huge flip with versus and . Ebanks did pair one of his hole cards but the player with jacks made a full house by the river to scoop the 54,000 pot.
Dan Martin is our chip leader after passing through the 100,000 chip barrier.
In a hand just now, the hijack opened to 2,000 and Lee Childs (cutoff) three-bet to 3,800. The button and small blind folded, but Martin asked Childs how many chips he was playing. Once he had been told, Martin four-bet to 9,100. The hijack folded and so did Childs.
"Show the deuce!" said Childs before adding, "It's good for the game."
Martin declined to show either of his cards and he raked in the pot.

Sam Grafton has upped his aggression as the bubble approaches in an attempt to pick up chips, but it is a plan that seems to have backfired if his Twitter feed is anything to go by.
Been applying 'bubble pressure' and resultingly lost like 45k. Down to 21k 400/800. 20 something from the money.Follow @SquidPoker

Men Nguyen raised to 2,000 from middle position and the player in the cutoff reraised to 6,500. It folded back around to Nguyen who thought and thought and thought some more.
He started talking: "I can't call you. I either fold or go all in." Just as he was turning his cards up, he said: "Don't call me a chicken sh*t." His opponent called him just that as he saw Nguyen fold . His opponent was not happy as he held .
The action passed around to the player in the small blind and he attempted to limp into the pot. British pro Sam Grafton was having none of it and he raised it up to 2,500 from the big blind. The small blinds folded and Grafton showed .
