this is Tom Haney, renowned as one of the up and coming regulars both at DTD and on the scene, son of Daryl and Vanessa both DTD poker players
i arrived at Tom’s table as, UTG, he led out 3,300 into a 6,000 pot on the river of a board reading
only to be met by a Raise from Russell Betts to over 11,000.
Tom thought and thought, his expression unmoved, and eventually folded
Battle lost, but still a long way to go in the war ahead…
the high roller resumed at 1pm and players have been entering that too (its open to 3.20pm)
walking around i saw…
new partypoker sponsored pro Natalia Breviglieri
Ben Dobson, Tom Mddleton and an awkward view of Dan O’Callaghan
Richard Herbert and a disguised Mick Fletcher
and a blurry Mitch Johnson and Andrew Hills
In level 4 with 40 runners
On the fifth table to open
Jamie Clossick and Stuart Fox side by side
whilst on the other side EPT 3rd Leo McClean has showed up, eager (and newly freshly shaven, he looked like a yeti last week) to do battle
Jonty Willis calls a raise in the small blind with pocket sevens
Anthony Kennedy calls in the big blind
flop
Willis check calls 1,000 from Kennedy who has led into the raiser, who folds
turn
Willis check raises to 5,000, Kennedy goes all in setting Willis in
Willis call with the set
Kennedy having led his double gutter on the flop, hit on the turn and potentially stack a set
river to knock Willis out.
Nice. Unless you are Willis
Russell Betts opens to 1100
Tom Haney calls in the cut off
Noel Broadbent calls on the button
checked to Braadbent who makes it 2,000
call call
check check, Broadbent 3200
Betts folds, Haney calls
check check
Broadbent
i have a jack
Haney raises his eyebrows and nonchalantly flips which beats Noel’s
Stuart Fox opens to 1400 and Daniel Stacey 3-bets him from the small blind to 4800
Fx calls leaving himself 10,000 behind
Stacey leads 2500 on the board
Fox all in and Stacey fold
—
A couple of hands later Stacey is the raiser, and he is called in three spots button and both blinds
4 way action and the board is checked round
on the turn big blind Callum McCaig leads for 2500
Richard Paul on the button is the only caller
river
McCaig shows which is good to win the pot
