cheers for the updates garth, hope frosty does well

[Garth Kay]

George is our next one to fall when he finds himself with rockets up against the ladies unfortunately the flop contains two queens and by the turn he is drawing dead.

Jeff has also been eliminated but doesn't openly discuss how only that he made a stupid mistake.
