15 minute break


Chaz Chattha 2,300,000

Toby Lewis 900,000

blinds will be 15-30k



Two of the good guys


I watch a lot of live poker. That last two hours was as good as I've seen for a while. Awesome stuff

Lol - when you have 5 mins could you point out some of the awesome bits for me please.

Can you also ask Andrew what he put Chaz on after he raised, re-raised and gave him you some verbal for good measure? Was he expecting pocket 10's?

well well

Akenhead 12,500

Hassabis 32,500 on the button

Lars Bollhagen all in for 75,000 more in the blinds

Akenhead folds

Hassabis asks for the count, counts out his chips, thinks. Massive crowd around the table

He easily covers Bollhagen, perhaps it is a third of his stack to call

and folds 


and he shows. Do not show man. Please do not show. DO NOT SHOW. I repeat this to myself before he does it and on the way back to my chair

DO NOT SHOW.

Opponents now have the



to have a go . By all means pass, but do not show!


Rant over

There's no need for that sir.  People can play how they wish and don't need to be berated on here for it.

Katie O'Connor raises the button and Julian Thew calls in the small blind with 

As you do

he check calls a c-bet on   

turn  . Only Julian. check check

river 

Julian v-bets 75% of the pot and is paid off, presumably by an Ace

I don't suppose Katie was very impressed by that. Did she give him a right hook?

Did he try and explain his pathetic play?

How are the last of the local boys doing, Pettman and Evans?

Stuck in Belfast when I should be home in Broadstairs.

Everytime I see Kevin he's wearing some Blue Square gear and it turns out they've either put him in or picked up part of the costs. When his name is then first on the list of qualifiers, not from a casino but from Blue Square, I want to ask "what's going on?". If that upsets you then I suggest you don't read the newspapers anymore because far worse things are happening in this world than that.

As for Blue Squares reputation, I never mentioned it.

Get well soon .

[he just happened]

So Kevin is sponsored by Blue Square and he just happened to win his seat in the very first qualifier for this event (hosted by the firm sponsoring him and who own the casino)? Have you checked that because it sounds like a b/s to me?

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Tikay

Did Kevin O'Leary and Rumit get a free entry into this via Blue Square sponsorship? Given they are first on the list of qualifiers I guess they did. If so, that's a disgrace. You couldn't buy into this comp so why can someone be given a freeroll into it?

I'm sure you'll raise this on your excellent tv show.

Many thanks.
