Good Evening!

hi honey :)   wish richard good luck x

Evening gorgeous x

Did booder manage to get a seat for tonight ?

Hello Chili

nice of you to update.. good luck blondes

Evening yourselves lovelys.  Welcome to the final land based chance to get a seat in the gorgeously sexy William Hill Grand Prix II.  Fantasticly, but not for those that missed out, tonight is a complete sell out.  We are talking 120 seats, all gone by 3pm today!!

I have clocked Tight End Mel and he is in, so is Booder who was clocked at 3pm, pint in hand - good lad! I shall pass on your warm wishes.

I feel like I am locked in a broom cupboard.  The only internet access is in the office which the Broadway very kindly let me use for the updates, but its not far at all from the action so i'm in business.  They bent over backwards to get us connected - so thanks guys!

We are due to kick off at 8pm so I'll go on a wander to see who I can locate with my beady eyes.

Come on the the blondes!!!!!

Have a good one Chili  :)up

Hi Chili, good luck to all the players, updaters and staff @ the Broadway

Settling down with cup of cha ready for the action :D

Did M3boy make it in time after j6 closure?

Good luck and have fun, both updater and updatees.

Woooooo a new blonde updater!

Thankyou all for your wishes. Yep, M3boy is here and raring to go and gotta say, just love that buzz that comes from everyone just prior to the start of a comp.  Ok, some faces here I tell you.  Are you ready?

hi chilli, would you be kind enough to wish john mcgrane good luck for me please and could you ask him if he gets chance to give me a ring.

thanks chilli, and good luck with the updates  :)up

Good Luck Blondies

Good luck wishes passed on guys.  Missed Rob Young and Ash Pervais off the list.  They have shuffled up and dealt and saw Paul King go all in first hand.  He lost to trip Jacks - rebuy!!!  Think we may have a few.

Compo and Paul Jackson are table buddies as are Ian Woodley and Surinder Sunar.

Didn't mention the guys are on a 30 minute clock.

Wow, rebuys are tough to keep track of.  Blinds have just gone up to 50/100 and we have had 53 rebuys in the first half an hour.

Forgot to mention that Tighty is on Alli Mallu's table and he said "I might be joining you soon for the updates."  Compo has had 2 rebuys already Paul Jackson has informed me and Compo's shade of Crimson confirms that he was telling the truth.  I asked if he had at least gone in ahead against Jacko but Mr Jackson replied for him "NO!"

Dan, cupcake should have rang you by now and Charmaine, Paul says "love back at ya."

Kev - Compo says he can't remember who knocked him out of last nights Blonde Bounty but "he came third!"

Tell the Mug that i actually came 4th ;)

And is he still wearing his copper arthritis bracelet and pretending its a WSOP one :D

Chili

Please wish Tighty good luck from me (better do it quick given his comments).

Also M3Boy.

Ta

Sheriff

I can't interrupt him right now Kev, he's gone to the Cash Machine. Apparently he's had "several" rebuys already....

I can't interrupt him just now Sheriff, he's just gone to the Cash Machine......

LMAo .. i bet that queue at the cash machine is longer than the queue to slap flushy !!


How is booder doing ?

An interesting table me thinks.  In one corner all cosy is Rob Yong, Jeff Burke & Welsh newbie wonder kid Roberto Romanello.  They are all talkers and P takers and the banter is awesome. 

Rob just won a big pot with KK against 77.  A K and 7 were on the flop so all the chips went in.  Just to top it off for Rob the 4th King arrived on the river!  He immediately raised his 2 kings in the air and announcecd "quad kings, quad kings."  To which the manager came over and warned him for swearing!!!  A very bemused look overcame Rob.  LMAO

Booder just says "not good."  I thought steady.

Lucy and Mad Turk are at the same table.  I think  battle may have been declared as Lucy has most of the chips on the table and Mad Turk is just sat there  - hunched over shaking his head.  Me thinks he has been Rokached.

Chilli is that the same newbie Welsh wonder that we played like a bad organ in the Vic. last week. LOL   Tell him l was asking about him.

With just a few minutes to go until the 30 minute buffet Break, (before which they can have an add-on), the Prize Pool stands at £26,700.

Paul M3Boy Garnham - 17,600!

How'd you like THAT Charmaine?

May it continue chilli  ;D ;D

Ash Hussain - 10,500

Rob Yong - 11 rebuys, no chips. (Really!)

And, wait for it.....

Ali Mallu - 27,500.....

Frenzy of activity before the rebuy ends.  With the average stack being 8,200 we have some big stacks.  Tighty was just telling me about Mallu.  He has been in every single hand AND hitting the flop every time.  Hitting trips, gutshots the works.  He has been staying out of his way but says he in poker hell being on the button when its Alli's big blind!! "What can you do?"

Compo 12k
Paul Jackson 16k
Iwan Jones  - 7 rebuys and OUT
Ian Woodley - 14k and 5 rebuys
Dave Lloyd - 13,500
Jim Reid - 12,000
Jeff Burke - 15,000

Gonna go for some food buys for 10 mins and then take down the final prize pool and how many buy ins and top ups the peeps have done tonight.

lol yeah richard told me mallu is not missing a thing ;)

give keith and raj a kiss from me, they were fantastic for the apat and a good bunch of lads

gl blondites

Thanks for the updates Chili.. Come on the Blondes!

Play has re-commencerederedered.

Rob Yong has big Dave Smith from Notts two to his left. Dave has 15,300, Rob is having a torrid time.

The Prize Pool is still to be confirmed, but it looks like £36,500. There is only ONE seat available, & with 34.5% going to the winner, that roughly equates to £12,000 for first - or, more correctly, the £6,000 seat & £6,000 on top!

We enjoyed a splendid buffet, though there was far too much for us to eat. Maybe they were expecting Kev.

get a doggy bag :)

We are off again.  Level 4 starts at 200/400.  We have 107 left with an average count of 10,000.

Tonight they amassed 173 rebuys and 63 add ons.  As soon as the prize split is put up you will here about it.  Off to get some counts now.  Kev, I hope Booder was playing it cool and returning to his seat late but he is now propping up the bar!!

Dave Lloyd 15,000

The Dazzling Cornelius Cronin from Smethwick 4,900

Jim Reid 10,700

Ash Real Shady Pervaiz 9,000

Chicken Joe 26,300

Des Bling Bling Jonas 6,700

Kevin O'Connell 14,000

Chunky Mick 19,300

Paul King 5,900

Sami 9,000

£36,600 is confirmed, so......

10th £920

9th £1,100

8th £1,460

7th £1,830

6th £2,200

5th £2,560

4th £2,930

3rd £3,660

2nd £7,320

And the winner is entitled to £12,620, being £6,620 in cash, AND the all-important (& very last) seat (valued at £6,000) for this year's William Hill Grand Prix.

Who do you reckon can take this down, then?

 :)up

The Buffet for the Wm Hill Team included unlimited bottles of red wine.

Thewy has not been sighted since the buffet.

But we do have some Thewy news. He says "thanks for the advice the blondes gave me about buying a new mobile 'phone".

He says he got a bargain. Cost him £950, & he gets two free texts a week.

Sensation - Ali Mallu has lost a hand!

All the chips flew in on this flop....

 Qh Tc 9h

Matey Boy revealed  Ad Ts

The Mercurial Mallu showed  Jd Qc. I mean, Mr Mallu ain't ever putting THAT down!

Turn.... Ac

River..... Aspades

Matey boy may live to regret that. He Mallu-ed Mallu......

A girl has already won one thing this week Chilli, don't push your luck! 

Two girls winning in one week, it'll give people nosebleeds...  ;hide;

I think Booder will win, look forward to sharing a caravan with him this weekend  8)

I think I have skills as an ante bokker.  Lucy Rokach against Chunky Mick.  After a flurry of raise, re-raise, all in, on their backs.  Mick had  Kh Ks and Lucy  Ac Ad.  No help for Mick and is down to about 1,500.  A nice double up for Lucy about 45k.

Just seen Steve Jelinek leaving the premises.

We are down to 90 players.

Its only the begining floppy, only the begining!!

The beginning of the end....?

M3Boy just lost a pretty big pot on a horrible board -  Qd 3c 2d 7d 9d.

He was forced to muck when Oppo-Boy bet out. He did NOT look a happy bunny.

tikay has had numerous offers for his jacket - the burgundy one.

Guy Fawkes night is coming up quite soon i guess..

Don't stand next to Booder, you'll cause a resonance cascade that could destroy life as we know it!!!

Chili, I hereby dub thee Auntie Bokker.

Guess who our chip leader is?  I won't make you wait. Its Alli Mallu.  Mad Turk and Ali now on the same table and Mr Turk shakes his head again whilst explaining how a guy just GIFTS Alli an early christmas present.  The guy had good chips but decides to go all in on Ali's raise with  Ad 9s.  Ali calls in a flash with  Aspades Js.  Alli now on a massive 59K.

The only other player close to him is Lucy with 52K and the rest lagging behind.

The average is only 13,200 and 81 players left.

jeez, pulled clear already. Hows blonde's doing?

Hehe, think I like that Red.

Meanwhile on Rob Yongs table.  Rob raises 2,300 which big Dave Smith smooth calls.  Next Jeff Burke goes all in for another 10.5K.  Rob thinks and passes (tens he later says).  Smithy calls with  Ks Kd.  Jeff had  Aspades Qh.

board comes 9 4 4 3 J

Jeff is left with a couple of grand and smithy doubles to about 22K.

I'll just go and get some counts now.

Sorry, didnt mean it like that, sounds a bit demanding now!!

But thankyou anyway Chili...  ;tightend; ;tightend;

75 left (a late night looms), blinds 400-800, ave is 14,600.

hows Richard doing?   

 :hello: Chili thanks for updating

but need my  ;sleep;, I'll enjoy reading the rest in the morning with my breakfast :)up

Paul Jackson just knocked out two shorter stacks.  His  Kd Kh were more than a match for  Ad  Js and  Jh  Ts.  He hit a K on the river just to hammer there exit home.  He is now upto 44K.

Starting to fall a bit quicker now.  Down to 70 and the price of poker has gone up to 600 / 1,200.


You are more than welcome my young rookie.

ok, goodnight Tonji, sweet dreams.

Would you like to do that one again?

I know its a long shot....but is there a "WAYNE BROWN" still in?   He is a friend of mine from Kidderminster (well, he lives in Blakedown)............   Does anyone know?

64 left, average 17,200, blinds 600-1,200. Next level starts in 15 minutes, 800-1,600, though we will have a 10 minute wee break first.

M3boy had a bit of an accident.  Faced with a serial raiser on his table, Paul looks down at   Aspades Kc.  Paul re-raises to 4k and the original raiser calls.

flop comes down with 3 diamonds and the boys both check.  The turn is a fourth diamond and matey boy rechecks his cards.  Then goes all in.  Paul was faced with no option but to pass his A high.  Now down to 7k, but a chip and a chair he says and its time to grind.

10 minutes ? what have you been drinking ????

 ;goodvevil;

Sandy

Hehe, amended.  Oops thanks Red.

Mel, Tighty has been getting no luck or cards or night.  He appears to be OUT.

He started the comp Cowboy but any clues to what he looks like? Or any idea what colour shirt he might be wearing?

Erm, a bit of Vodka and lots of Cappuccino.  I might only need 7 out of the 10 minutes though.

We are down to 60. 

Marc Goodwin has come for a drink and a nosey with Mr C.  Rob Yong just told Marc that times were hard and he has had to resort to satellites these days lol.

We have located Wayne actually and he is.................erm................playing BlackJack.

He started the comp Cowboy but any clues to what he looks like? Or any idea what colour shirt he might be wearing?
[/quote]  


No idea wat he is wearing?   probably a sleeveless black shirt?    hes about 42,with a fairly large round belly!!   brown/dark hair..could be slicked back?    Thanks for looking anyway......

10 minute break very shortly guys.  We have 57 left and an average count of 19,300.

When we return the new level will be at 800 / 1,600.  See you all shortly.

Thanks for that......  blackjack?    guessed as much....lol

Hi Chili, fine updating job.

If you get a chance would you pass on my best wishes of good luck to Lucy please.

Cheers Chili. I still stick with M3Boy, good luck that man!

It's tikay right now Ralph, but yes, of course we will.

OK, play has started, & the next three levels will see some serious grief.

With the ave stack at 19,300, & blinds 800-1,600, it's gonna start biting a bit sharp now.

They HAVE to play to a finish tonight, so we are in for a harem scarem 3 or 4 hours.

Monty Burns & Mr Cool are chilling at the bar, Dave looks well, bright & cheery.

They are playing a £3k comp in London on Thursday, then The Sportsman on Friday & Saturday, then, next week, it's the EPT Baden via, I think, Vienna. Very nice too.

As we reach the end of the 800-1,600 level, (2 minutes to go) there are 48 players left.

1,000-2,000 next.

M3Boy still in do you know please?

M3boy was getting low at the restart.  6,200. He went down to about 4k but was now involved in a 3 way pot.  He went all in with   Aspades Qs but got called with  Ahrt Kh and a low stack blind all in.

Flop came

 Ad  Qh  Tc

 6d 4h

Paul now up to 19.5k.  Thought your tip was toast there ITB.

Ash Hussain 17K
Ian Woodley  19K
Carl Thomas   7.5K
Chick Joe     17.5k  (came back from 600 chips an hour ago!)
Roberto Romanello 34.5K
Paul Jackson  40K  (lost a chunk off his stack by runner runner straight - he says)
Rob Yong 28k
Dazzling Cornelius  35.9K
Dave Smith 36K

Pish... My tip is gonna knock out that Rokach tip of yours in no time... GO ON M3!!

Surindar Sunar is OUT by the hands of my girl Lucy Rokach.  Lucy made a hefty raise and Surinder went all in for 20K.  Lucy called with  Ac 8h (wow) and even more wow, Surinder had  Qh 5s.  The board was:

 Ks Js 8c 7d 4s

Lucy on a cool 66K and still racing with Alli for the chip lead.

Mallu adds another notch on his poker bed post and increases his stack to 68K after mateyboys  7h 7s got called by Alli's  Ks Kh.  Sighh.

Eat your shorts boyo!

 :D We'll see...

Thanks Ralph, It is done.  She says "thanks alot" x 

p.s she didnt give me a kiss.

Kindly tell the dazzler good luck from ginge please :)

In the last 15 mins since I checked Rob Yongs chips he has gone through the roof and is chip daddio.  He has about 92K.  I ask him if it was all one hand, he says "nope."  Paul Jackson tells me that he screwed one guy, outdrew another and fluked another. LOL

We are down to 37 and average is 29,700.

Blinds have just gone to 1,500 / 3,000.

3 tables now.

Done, he says "oh yeah ginge? tell thanks very much"  Ok?

Come On M3boy!

Ta luv xxx

Message for RookieITB (and Charmaine)  - M3boy is OUT and VERY unlucky he was too.

With 18K left and in the small blind with  8s  9s.  Cornelius limps under the gun and Paul makes up the blind with Woodley checking afer.  The flop is:

 7h  Th  Jh


Dazzler bets out 5K straight away and Paul goes all in.  Woodley gets out of the way and Dazzler calls and turns over 

Kh  9h

OUCH!  Nothing would have stopped my chips flying in either.  Cornelius was playing crazy.  Re-raising with K 6. Raise UTG with 7 4 off!  Etc Etc.  Unlucky Paul.

 :hello: Chilli and tikay

gl to any blondes still in

So with 30 left these guys are still in:

Ian Woodley
Dave Smith
D Sami
Kev O'Connell
Lucy Rokach
Rob Yong
Paul Jackson
Phil Peters
Mrs Peters (same table)
Des Jonas
Alli Mallu
Roberto Romanello
The Dazzling Cornelius

Surely that's a misdeal and they change the deck then?

Hi Pab, how ya doing? Tikay says hello.

Ok Ok misclick it was  Kh 9h - Sorry - no misdeal LOL

Lol just testing ;)

Awesome updates Chilli.  ;topman;

I hope everyone else is buying you drinks.

IM very well thanks, currently enjoying a week in aruba for the ultimatebet poker classic, its a hard life  ;gobsmacked;

busted the main event today, but this isnt the bad beat section so less said about that the better, lol. Still its a hell of a lot better busting out here then say in bolton for example!

How DO these things happen?

Lucy & Kev O'Connell clash. We see a flop of  9h Tc 5h

Somehow - how? - 73,000 chips find their way into the middle - Kev moves in, Lucy calls in a flash.

Their hands?

Kev had  Aspades Jd

Lucy had, well,  Ahrt 8c

Lucy seriously wounded, & busts out 2 hands later when all-in pre-flop with  Tc 7h & runs into the whopping  & dominating Kd Td

Eh? But these guys know exactly what they are doing, so not criticising, just open-mouthed with amazement!

It's almost Ramzi vs Judah II. lol

Dont care what she has won, thats CRAP play and she wants to go and throw herself under a Train.

She puts him on a drawing hand, that's all it could be. And with the blinds going up quickly she wants to get the seat, not second. If he shows QJoff and misses she looks like a genius.

Just playing Devil's advocate.

she got away with it earlier too!!

Lol nearly as bad!!!

Is Chubbs still about Chilli?

Chilli u should not have reported that as u have just put her reputation down the toilet amongst the BLONDE ARMY. Ah well it was good whilst it lasted Lucy. ;tk; ;tk;

Chubbs was here, now he is not.  Not sure where he gone.  But we are down to 20 players all of a sudden.  Absolute rush of activity.

We lost Mr Peters
Roberto Romanello  (99 v AJ)
and Rob Yong has now bitten the dust.  I think he loves to play flops but just saw him take a hit and then go all in for his last 20k with  Ad 2s.  He got called by KK though. 

please please please don't let Mr Mallu win the seat...

I have a horrible feeling he will be drawn on my immediate left in Cardiff if he does!

Keith how high do you rate Ali's game?

Ian Woodley 67k
Cornelius is battering his table, calling an all in this time with 10 4 off and knocking out matey with KQ.  95k
Ali Malu  180K
Kev O'Connell  60K
Paul JAckson   70K

Blinds are 2,000 / 4,000.

Agreed, she's playing for the win. He could also have flush draw, or no pair no draw, he's hardly a tight player. Also she has an overcard, backdraw nut flush draw and backdoor straight draw. Given these circumstances it's surely an instant call!!

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

When his mind is on the game, and he's not on tilt from blackjack.. I think he's one of the top 3 players in Britain.

And as I doubt there's any blackjack tables in a tv studio in Cardiff I reckon he'll be pretty focussed...

Some praise.

That is the biggest load of  CRAP lve ever read on this Forum. Sometimes you have to be honest even on Blonde which is always nicey nicey.

I think Rob was being sarcastic.

I never said it wasn't an awful call in my opinion, I was just trying to come up with reasons why she might call.

The fact she called in a flash which Chilli said, for her whole Tourney with such a precious first prize and good place money makes it even WORSE.

Michael - Chill out on my watch mate.

The players have been on a ten minute so I managed get full names and counts of all 17 remaining players.

Table 1
1 Rob Stevens            58,000
2 Paul Jackson            73,000

9 Bill Harding            50,100
10 Ian Woodley       85,100

Blinds are 3,000 / 6,000 Av 64,600

Who is your pick Maria?

Lucy makes plays like this all the time. It's what makes her so very difficult to play against.

It is easier to steal from Fort Knox than it is from Ms Rokach.

Its difficult to pick Mallu or Dave Smith because they are both very capable of not making the final as much as they are to win the thing.

I will go for Ian Woodley.

She CALLED the All In, thats some play........................................................................ rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao



 >:? >:? >:? >:? >:? ;fishing;

Pretty bleeding obvious... SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS WINNING!!!!

It was not Chili that reported it - it was me - tikay.

I reported the hand as played.

I have the utmost respect for Lucy, as a player, and a friend.

I did not understand the play, but the Lady is an awesome player, & we must all respect & acknowledge that.

I wasn't even being sarcastic, how can you say it's terrible play when we don't even know how what % of the chips went in preflop. We know it's 73k total, I'm guessing a decent chunk of that was in preflop and Lucy fancies O'Connell to move in on the flop if he misses.

Back to work - Chili again.  We have lost 2 players already.  C Gavrielle and Cornelius.

We had a raise from J Clements, a call from Mr Mallu and a re-raise from Cornelius.  Clements went all in and so did Alli and Cornelius called.  On their backs.

Clements  Aspades Ahrt
Alli Mallu    Ac Kh
Cornelius    Qh Qc

The bullets stood up and Cornelius was knocked out leaving Alli with about a 70k dent in his stack.  Clements upto 130k and we have 15 left.

Lucy obviouslly picked up some sort of tell.

For goodness sakes he was totally at it...

I've seen Lucy make some fantastic calls with very weak holdings...she went with her read and nearly got it right.

She is right far more times than she's wrong.

13 left. OUT is Ian Foster and just this second - Dave Smith.  Dave was down to 35k and pushed all in with  Aspades  6c but Woodley woke up with  Ahrt  Qs and sent Dave packing.

Ian on 125K.

Blinds are 4,000 / 8,000 with 10 minutes left at this level.

well i was on lucys table as i have been many times   i  m not sure if she s good or bad,if any 1 else play the same way they r bad but she gets away with it 4 me i like her in my table i think she has been good in past maybe game s different now so please puy her on my table any time lol

Tikay mate l know your the big daddy on here, and l respect u as lve played and watched u play a few times, BUT l have my own opinions and dont have to respect anyone that u tell me too.

That was A CRAP CALL, whoever puts their chips in first there, with position should take that pot down which yer man had. I 've only been plaing 7 months, but if l'm making calls like that in 6 months, nevermind 25 yrs l want someone to give me a kicking and dump me in a ditch.

I go back out and we loose another 2 players.  Paul Jackson  (A Q) disposed of Rob Stevens (8 10) double suited PJ said.  Then Kev O'Connell knocked out Dino Constantinou.  Hand for hand now and as soon we are down to 10 I will try and get all the chip counts.

So 11 left.

Looong night ahead!!

Good luck to Paul, maybe his night?
 :)up

Perhaps this reply when you have no idea of the context of the hand proves without doubt if you play for another 100 years you will never be as good as Lucy.

We have a Final.  The unlucky bubble was K Chowdry (not too unlucky because they all did a £500 off the top deal for 11th and £120 to the staff.).  Adrian Bates raised, Chowdry went all in and Ali Mallu (again) went all in.  On their backs:

Chowdry  3d 3h
Bates       Ahrt Ac
Mallu         Ks Kh

Board was  7s 7h Td  4c 6c.  Bates took down about 100k but Alli actually made 100 chips from Chowdry's all in.  MMMm

Camel in another year l will be better than LUCY ever was and thats not taking the piss. Play has moved on abit and the old guard  results will die out more and more in the next few years. I don't have to prove my ability to anyone on this forum as l improve every time l play. I think your ego has clouded your reply, something quiet common in English Poker players.

I don't mean to be funny but has Lucy been around on the circuit for the last couple of years? her last recorded cash was Feb 2005 for €4700 in a €1k event. She picked up $8k in Jan 05 in a $2k US event. She got her buyin back on the ladbrokes cruise Oct 2004.

She of course won a Vic event in Oct 2004 for £50k, but since then nothing. Does she not play these events anymore? Has she moved online?

The prize money again:

£36,600 is confirmed, so......

10th £920

9th £1,100

8th £1,460

7th £1,830

6th £2,200

5th £2,560

4th £2,930

3rd £3,660

2nd £7,320

And the winner is entitled to £12,000, being £6,000 in cash, AND the all-important (& very last) seat (valued at £6,000) for this year's William Hill Grand Prix.

How come 4th gets more than 9th, has the Broadway not taken the APAT structures on board?  ;goodvevil;


JOKE!!!!!!

Our Final Table is....., (in Seat Order)

ActionJack 137,000

A Bates 160,000

Ali Mallu 222,000

J Clements 51,700

Bill Harding 52,100

P Hallan 47,600

Kev O'Connell 138,000

Marcus Bebb-Jones 114,100

Ian Woodley 88,700

David Leicester 67,900

Play has commenced. The clock has been reduced to 15 minutes to ensure the Final finishes before closing time.

How exactly has ego clouded my reply?

I'm not the one claiming I will be better player than Lucy. In fact I know she's a better player than me.

Your ego is quite astounding Sir.

I wiould love to set up a heads up match between you and Lucy, but unfortuantely she has some class and wouldn't stoop to playing you just to prove your words are nonsense.

What a great comp and turnout. Updates are great Chilli. Please wish Action "The Plodder" Jackson some luck. Not sure about these comments about Lucy Rocache, personally I think she is a very good player who is very brave in all situations, whether calling or raising. She has not been playing as many events over last couple of years, which would account for her lack of results, I don't actually know her that well personally. In Barry Greensteins book "Ace on the river", he descibes her as "probabaly the best NL hold'em female player in the world." She would have had a good reason to make this call, I am sure of that.

HUMPFREY are u plaing on Crypto now or off to bed..........

Bed mate. Cya later. I was chip leader with 98k when we were down to 24 people, and within 2 rounds, I was out - now thats a really BAD player, cheers guys!

Just got back home. Please wish Ian Woodley GL from me.

Horrible exit hand for me - was ALWAYS going broke on that one - close, and well pleased with the way I played. So no grumbles, just a cold deck.

Well off to bed now, and cheers ITB for the support m8. Sorry u were wrong though - I felt good about winning it aswell.

Thats why l was hoping u were going to play abit of cash Rob, lol...............NO EGO WITH THIS GENTLEMAN OF POKER. gl bud.

You are baffling me.

Can you explain how I have showed ego?

Then I can go to bed.

of course she plays shes not good enough anymore i FULLY AGREE WITH KID GAME MOVED ON AND HE S EVEN NOW MAYBE BETTER THAN HER AND CAMEL I BET

Good luck those 3!

Turk lf l seen a table splitting with you and Lucy on it, l know who l'd want coming to my table.

So, you are going to avoid answering my question.

Fair enough.

Good luck to everyone except Mr Mallu.

Night all.

Bill Harding is OUT in 10th collecting £920

9 left.

And then, after a series of tussles reduced his stack to 90k, Ali Mallu moved in pre-flop with  9d 8s, only to be called by Kev O'Conell with  Th Ts

So, Ali Mallu is OUT in 9th place making £1,100 in the process.

lol Turk. Sry Camel l thought u had gone. You stated l would not be good enough in 100 yrs. You must have the expertise or the EGO to make this judgement..

P Hallan is OUT in 8th place getting £1,460.  His J 10 was no match for Jones's A 9.

Right after that hand.  Kev O'connell raised 80k (blinds 10k/20k) and Woodley went all in for another 70k.  Kevin passed.  This puts Woodley upto around 220,000.

Paul Jackson double up news against David Leister.  David had  Kd 7s on a flop of

 Ks 9c 3d

but Mr Jackson was holding  Kc 9d.  David still in though.

A Bates is next out, 7th, for £1,830.

ActionJack moved in with  Aspades Td & Mr Bates called with  Ahrt 9c

No help on the raggety flop for either, ActionJack up to 290k.

is game stopped or what chilli  or u gone to bed ?

Chilli has just posted.

Falling like flies with blinds at 15k 30k.  J Clements is the next casualty in 6th place for £2,200.  In the BB it was only another 12k for PJ to put him all in.  Clements had to call with 9 10 and Paul had K 7.  No 9 or 10 came.

We are down to 5.

Mr Turk there is a lot of raise, pass, raise, pass at this stage. So just reporting the big stuff.

i m very sorry   u r doing a good job i was a bit of joking tho i understand  thanks

Instantly we have lost Kev O'Connell in 5th place for £2,560.

He moved in on a K 2 7 board with a 2 but he got called by Jones with K 7.  4 left now.

As I am typing David Leister goes out in 4th place for £2,930.  I was typing so missed it totally. Sorry.

We are down to 3.

Paul Jackson
Marcus Bebe Jones
Ian Woodley

And then there were 2.  Ian Woodley V ActionJack ALL IN preflop.

Woodley  Th 9c
ActionJack   Ac Td

Flop

 Jh Jc 6c

 8s  2h

So Ian Woodley is the 3rd place finisher with £3,660.

So Marcus V ActionJack heads up for the seat.  Incredibly Marcus has only been playing 4 months!!

And it is all over.  The winner of the last and final seat in the William Hill Grand Prix II is Marcus Bebe Jones!!

Jackson raised preflop with  Qc Qd  and Marcus called with  7c 8c.  The flop was

 Jh  8h 2s

Marcus moved all in and Jackson called.  The turn was

 5c  and the river

 8d  !!!!!

Commisserations to Paul Jackson the runner but takes home £7,320 and a massive congratulations to Marcus Bebe Jones who wins his seat as well as £6000 in cash.  Thanks to W Hill again for their hospitality and to the Broadway who were excellent in letting us use their office tonight.  I have to log off and goodnight to all.

Preflop 78% favourite
Post flop 81% favourite
Post turn 88% favourite
That is officially a bad beat.

Well played to Actionjack and thanks for the updates. Now going back to bed.

I fell asleep on the sofa around 12sh  ;frustrated; thanks so much on the updating chilli , made for a good read this morning  ;applause; ;applause;

just finished reading the updates, Thank You Chili your a  *g

NO NEED

this is part of the reason i havent been posting much on blonde lately,there is always someone who has to take things to far.Mick your usually a nice guy from what ive heard but i think that comment was totally uncalled for Lucy Rokash is respected by alot of people all over the country and fair enough most of us would never have made that call but thats how she plays.i dont know the woman but i know alot of people who do and they all say she is a fantastic lady.
i for one think she didnt deserve some of the comments made about her on this thread.

i know im going to get slated,but hey whats new.

I agree totally with that!
It does appear an odd call but you can't taint her entire game on one reported hand, jeez she has won more money than almost everyone on here, she is feared, revered and respected throughout the world !!

No worries mate, good effort, there's always next year i guess!

And Chili, great updates.. had to catch up on em just now as i fell asleep last night myself!!  :respect: ;tightend; ;tightend;

Well done Chilli, very unlucky paul, that's just a sick river. :(

great updating chilli.......

lost my first buy in with  Jd Td on a flop of  8d 9d Js against  8s  5c when turn and river gave him a boat

lost my next lot of chips with  Qd Qh against  Qc Ad on a q high flop when he made a straight

and just before the rebuys ended i reraised a button raise with  Ac Ks and walked into  Ahrt Ad

sometimes you just know its not going to be your night

yuk .... tough night mate.

MissC l would never slate you m8, the throw herself under a train was a joke and l never slated her reputation as everyone knows she has done extremely well...............l merely stated that this was a VERY BAD CALL for someone as experienced as her with a great reputation plus the fact that the call was instantaneous.

thats pretty grim.

here's hoping for better luck at the weekend boo....

at least with the caravan allocations

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

nice updates again, Chili  :)up

what about the £1.50

Great stuff Chilli, you have done a great job at all three of the comps you have done the updates from.

 ;iagree; ;hattip;

Maybe  I shouldn't stir this pot but here's a hand from a vic £750 3 years ago that has never left my mind :

Mid way through , I can't remember details but blinds were 600-1200 I think (I'm not wrong by much)


Bambos makes it about 3 K to play from UTG

Called by a medium stacked tightish unknown player in seat 2

I decide it's Bambos's usual gumbo and make an all in stand with my 77 for around 7K

A few passes and then its round to Lucy who makes it 17 K to go so the action has been raise,call ,reraise,reraise,OK !

Gary Jones then raises again and  goes all in for around 40K , Bambos and matey boy fold, and its back to Lucy for around 60% to 70 % of her stack,maybe a bit more , Lucy calls with AK ?????

What on earth could Gary have , nothing other than AA of course.

The irony however is that after this decimation of her chips, she somehow recovers and wins the event , she can't do that with no skills.

Greg

This may not be as stupid as you think Mike?

Updaters with Hand Histories on line, OK this is a large...ish comp, however, will you know where you stand with her next time you are on her table in a ME?

This debate on her play is probably doing her table image a world of good, and she is undoubtedly a world class player, with some world class moves, how much has this exposure cost her?

Sheer genius if you ask me.  ;goodvevil;

Personally I have a golden rule in poker that I never publicly criticise other's play, live or online.

There is simply no mileage in it imo, other than self-aggrandizement.

good point Karabiner...the "problem"  is you almost never have the full story...... about whats gone on before, table image,making a stand,chip counts, blind levels,stage of the tourney/game,rebuy or not,personal circumstances ETC ETC.
