Brighton GUKPT: Day 1A - At A Glance

"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside..."
Welcome to the South Coast for the latest GUKPT event. There's a lot of Blondes in this weekend, so prepared to be crammed full of fastly served nuggets of delicious information served by Jen and myself. Play begins at 4pm tomorrow. This is the 'lite' updater thread.

Well, we're only 15 minutes past the advertised time and we hear (from two floors up and two corridors across) that it's been shuffled up...
Many a player has squeezed into the unlikely double cardroom area of Brighton Grosvenor (separated by some tables, roulette etc. so during a seat change a tempted person could sneakily put a quick red-black bet on) and the press area is a good quarter of a mile from the action, so please bear with us as we gather stories in little batches and put them up every so often...
Spotted arriving late:
Neil Channing
Dave Colclough
Victoria Coren
Karl 'Blue Square Hit Squad' Mahrenholz
Spotted milling around:
One Ear Pab
Sunny Chattha
Jim Kerrigan
Nik Persaud
Early stage photo collection time now... Bear with us. We also have no power, so after an hour there may be a short blackout as we fight the other 11 laptops for one of their power sockets. I have been training Homer a la Rocky for just such a necessity.

It's squeezier than a squeezy squeeze play in the cardroom. Just to clarify, there is like next to no room in the centre, so if a player gets knocked out in the middle, he really needs Air and Sea Rescue to winch him out to safety. There's two sections with loads of gaming tables (strategically) placed in between, either way we might have a little trouble getting chip counts and hands from those in the centre of this maelstrom.
Play has started now anyway. 156 runners counted today...

Walsall winner Jerome Bradpiece bets 1.1k on the river of a
board, gets called, and shows
, his opponent flashes the
before mucking.
Elsewhere Mad Marty Wilson gets all his chips in on a
board with
against a 3.5k bet from his opponent, who calls with
.
river doubles up the Mad one.

Player list going to be here any moment - but just a taster of the crowd assembled (read: packed behind some ropes) today:
Stuart Nash
Steve Bovis
Joe Grech
Michael Greco
Richard Ashby
JP Kelly
Jim Reid
Barney Boatman
Jules Adamson
John Exley
Stuart Fox
Sid Harris
Martin Green
Thomas Dunwoodie
Jeff Buffenbarger
Actual total 148 players. Apparently 11 no-shows will probably be playing tomorrow - chances of still buying in look somewhat slim...

Barney Boatman bets 2k on an
board. Jim Reid calls. Barney shows
which is good.
Richard Ashby has doubled up, I gather most of the chips went in on the river of the
board, his
nut straight obviously being good against the opponent's mucked hand.

Jeff Nathan makes a good call on the river, with the board standing:
. He had been check-calling down (although the turn went check-check) and he found a 3k bet at him on the river. After a bit of a pause, he called with
- that was good.
________________________________
Meanwhile it's not been plain sailing for Flushy - after about 20 minutes of the first level I saw him lurking by Pab's table...he was saying:
"I've flopped two sets and I'm down 2k. Explain how that happened?"
Pab replies, "It's because you play so bad."
"I even folded set over set," Flushy carries on as if he were the partially deaf one.
"On the turn?"
"No, there I called to hit quads."

James is playing tomorrow. Karl and Jim are still around their 10k stacks. Chaz is down to about 8k, Jim meanwhile was badgering me to get a picture of Vicky Coren sucking on a piece of rock...
Praz just lost a pot to his nextdoor neighbour Flushy, Praz bet 1.5k on a
board, Flushy called and another player passed. Praz checked the river
but then paid off a 1.5k from Flushy's
.
Stuart Fox re-raises Ian Woodley's initial raise to 650, and then bets 1k after Woodley checks on the
board, getting the latter to pass.

Hartwith in 'Disgusting' Hand Shocker:
Young Jules Adamson (sat, now, next to similarly Poker Verdict attired Neil Channing after the latter's table broke) just informed us that he'd been involved in the "sickest hand of the tournament," and that was only level two...
He got involved in a family pot (yes, all nine players limping preflop) holding
. The flop came
. The small blind bet out 300, Jules flat called, and the rest of them got out of the way.
Turn:
The small blind bet 700, Jules upped it to 2,300 and found, to his delight, a raise of a further 3k (leaving his opponent 3k behind). Wanting to assure that the rest of the stack went in, he flat called, and then in it went on the
river.
His hand was no good against the
at that point, though. Down to 5k from an early 17k...

Flushy news now.
He checked called Ashley Hayles 2.5k bet on a
board, before checking the
and then calling, sorry 'Insta-calling' the turn push with
, which was ahead of Hayles'
. River was a
, Flushy over 20k now.
Everytime I go past Marty Wilson, he's talking about something bizarre... First it's something incomprehensible about the first lollipop lady being situated by his family home. Then it's some other entertaining guff about playing the world's biggest snakes and ladders game, then whilst betting on the turn of a 8-4-5-T board, he's talking about the start of the Shawshank Redemption whilst calling a clock on his opponent. His opponent passes Kings face up, a great pass after Marty shows Eights.

Neil Channing, who described his new table as 'Pokerverdictastic' just halved the number of players on it wearing the pictured team Red by getting himself eliminated...
Flop of 8-2-J, Neil bets, called.
Turn: Q Neil bets 4k, raise all in, call. Simple as that - set of Twos for Channing, set of Eights for the winner. Didn't see this hand personally, so that's your lot detail-wise, I'm afraid...

Matt Dale is on a bit of a roll down here in Brighton... his early big stack is courtesy of some Aces, with which he raised under the gun to 250 (this is a good level ago now), getting no respect and four callers. The flop came A-J-x rainbow - so he bet out 600 - only two callers came with him for the raggy second diamond turn card. At this point he bet out 1,400 and got re-raised 5k. When he pushed in for 8k total his opponent had to reluctantly put it in - with
he had the flush and gurshot draw, but no hit and a happy Dale.
