that feeling that it&#8217;s the right point to hustle, to harry and to have at your opponent like you were dueling on a grand stage. \u00a0Abbie Louthan and Richard Knowles have both found their spots to shove, but both ran into better hands to bust.<\/p>\n<p>Louthan was super-short when she pushed with <img

Mike Hill and Paul Hempseed both busting before the end of the Day 1c flight. \u00a0Everyone is desperate to make Day 2, leading to a little constipation in the action in some quarters, but others are really profiting, pushing their stack to build a chip mountain to try and topple overnight chip leader Khadir Khoshawy, who we spoke to at the last break. \u00a0he decided to opt out of today&#8217;s play, having built a stack of 163k yesterday, more than enough to come back to tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m happy &#8211; it was a good day. \u00a0One man was up to 163k just under mine earlier, he played the third flight too, but he just busted, so I think I&#8217;m winning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Khashawy isn&#8217;t even playing today and he&#8217;s here &#8211; that shows you what it

battle to find themselves a stack to attack Day 2 with. \u00a0Paul may already have 27,000 chips &#8216;in the bank&#8217; from Day 1b, but he&#8217;d love to take more through to join them. \u00a0He&#8217;s now in shoveland after the last hand.<\/p>\n<p>Paul raised to 130 UTG + 1 , called by two players. \u00a0the flop of <img

thought we&#8217;d focus on the fairer sex for a few minutes. \u00a0In fact, there are seven sirens left singing in the WPT National Event here at Aspers in Newcastle, and they all have a chance of making Day 2\/improving on their stack. \u00a0Here are their chip-stacks as they make up around 5% of the field:<\/p>\n<p>Sam Griffiths 49,000<\/p>\n<p>Gillian Martin 40,000<\/p>\n<p>Catherine Taylor 32,100<\/p>\n<p>Gladys Jarvis 21,150<\/p>\n<p>Abbie Louthan (pictured above) 20,300<\/p>\n<p>Joan Kirkup 6,000<\/p>\n<p>Hazel Birchnall 5,000<\/p>\n<h3>Level 6: Blinds 300\/600\/ante 75 &#8211;

\u00a0Sadly, the experienced and charismatic young player has busted already here at WPT National Event Newcastle, getting his last five big blinds into the middle pre-flop with <img src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/handy-cards\/cards\/qh.gif\" class=\"handy-cards\" width=\"25\" height=\"15\"> <img

else and b) held. \u00a0An inauspicious sole flight from Dale, but its great to see such a quality player here in the field. \u00a0While he waits for friends, he may sit on the cash table(not literally). \u00a0That&#8217;s a bit like a shark swimming into a fishtank.<\/p>\n<h3>Planting the Seed<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"WPT_9007 by partypoker, on Flickr\"

player, professional for many years online, combining his love of the virtual game with several stints at the live felt, including right here today at Newcastle&#8217;s stunning Aspers Casino. \u00a0He took around 27,000 through from flight Day 1b, but he&#8217;s looking to add to that tonight in flight 1c.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s not onff to the best start, down to 17k from his starting stack of 20,000, but he&#8217;s on a fun table which includes Gillian Martin. \u00a0If you remember, she was the lady from Day 1a who talked through a lot of her hands and gave lots of info away. \u00a0she&#8217;s up to 33k and quiet, but starting to loosen up. \u00a0Will the stacks re-balance?<\/p>\n<h3>Neil Pearson Interview<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"WPT_9018 by partypoker, on Flickr\"
