Lu Takes a Few More

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Nothing dramatic has happened recently but Lu has the big stack and is picking up a lot of pots. It has helped that he has mostly had the best hand too.

To Uber or Not to Uber?

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

There is a lot at stake here for the final three players and not many moves are being made with the stacks so close.

Tonkaaaa and Tuchman are in the commentary booth and the discussion for the last hour or so has focused on how Tonkaaa is going to get to Gatwick.

He is reluctant to take a tube and then a train so an Uber might be an option.

The final decision has yet to be made.
