DTD Monthly £300 Freezeout - Day 1 - At A Glance

Welcome one and all to the wonderful poker locale that is
Dusk Till
Dawn
as we prepare to embark on the journey to crown the latest
DT
D
£300 tournament champion.
As numbers appear to be relatively low for the Bolton GUKPT, this bodes well for us here in Nottingham and we can no doubt expect a glut of faces, some familiar, some less familiar vying for the much coveted title.
Myself and Jen, who is fresh from donking off yet another stack at a GUKPT, are here to cover all the ins and outs, the coming and goings, shippings and hollering we expect from a poker tournament and we anticipate an exciting, closely fought contest.
Come with us now on a journey through time and space to the world of
the mighty boosh
Dusk Till
Dawn
...
This is the At A Glance thread which will be reserved for the updaters to use and will contain a pared down, stripped version of the action with just the key events related. Should stilll be a laugh though (we hope!)

THIS IS NOT A TEST (or a joke...)
Red-Dog is ALL IN within six minutes of play beginning! Tikay rushed to his side as an opponent giving him plenty of credit folded
face up on the flop of J-9-2... I prayed for him to show the bluff, but no cigar. C'est la vie.
74 runners, and counting... (nearly 73 just then).

Early action - a fair few chips drift in the direction of Leon Rovira (pictured stacking those very same chips). It appears he had raised preflop and seen a flop of
with opponent Alan Stokes (pictured not stacking chips, in the blue cardy). Check to the
turn, and the second black deuce kicked off some action at last - a bet out of 400 by Stokes, raised to 1,000 by Rovira, and instacalled.
River:
Check to Rovira, who quickly bet 3k, which was called pretty quickly by Stokes, who mucked to see the fair to monstrous
in the youngster's hand.

Hi Snoops + Jen.
Lots of James "The Atkinator" Atkin updates please
Here's your enfant terrible, just busted...
"Three hands determined my tournament life," he said. And they were: Starting with a
which flopped top pair against an under the gun preflop limper, and as the board progressed raggy, he ended up losing about 3k to A-J.
Then Ah
hit a
board enough to get a good few chips from him as Anthony Nicholls AND another player were clearly interested - the small blind third player check-raising the flop to 1,200 and taking both others with him. James gave up by the time the river paired with the
, but Tony flat called the other's final bet with
which had been sucked out by
...
Finally, it was a pair:
which called a button raise preflop with a couple of others only to flop an un-get-awayable 5-7-8. Queens weren't going anywhere, and he's eyeing up the £50 comp

Jen may be mocking my elementary maths skills, but what she failed to realise was I factoring in a tip. Honest.
Anyways, how about an update from that bastion of blondepoker Mr Tony Kendall himself. Finding Kings, he popped it up to 200, only to receive SIX callers.
"...which was great" he added sardonically.
The flop popped out a draw heavy 6-7-9 with two hearts and Tikay wasn't interested in betting just yet with his Kings.
"Thought I'd see the turn before putting any chips in..." he told me, which is no doubt eliciting a chuckle from Mr Rosbif, Flushy himself. The rest of the table also elected to check this.
The turn fell a rather frightening
completing any flush or straight draws that happened to be lurking.
Back to the man himself...
"Well with no hearts i checked and it went bet, call, call, call ,call so I folded them. Got out cheap for only 200!"
The winner of the hand was ultimately the form man of DTD, Mr. Richard Berridge. Tony was bemoaning Richard's early good fortune.
"He's had THREE straights you know!"
All I can say is despite his Kings being cracked, Tikay's looking mean!!!

Can you say 'multiway'?
I think when the smoke cleared at the end of this frankly ridiculous hand the exiter was Stuart Hopkin, but I only got there towards the end as an excitable Tikay came to let us know that six limpers had all called a preflop raise to 400... The raiser was presumably Nathan Ticehurst, who, with
was one of the two players to get his stack in on a
flop. The other was Hopkin, whose
had done fairly well out of the first three cards.
Turn:
River:
(and while I originally thought Hopkin held Fives and was surprised to see the pot going to Ticehurst) ..."Got there in the end," he said, somewhat apologetically, with the shrug of someone counting their nice new stack regardless.

Sad to say that Dingdell is more busto than the eggshells used to make the omelette Jen is currently stuffing her face with.
A victim of Kings versus Aces, she couldn't get away and departs at this early stage, disappointed but wearing her omnipresent beaming smile as she wended her way to the nearby cash tables.
Incidentally vis-a-vis Jen's omelette, as she was hunched over ravenously devouring her meal like a starving wolf presented with a freshly roasted chicken, I enquired gently, although somewhat foolishly if I could taste a bit.
What turned round to confront me was no longer Jen the mild mannered updater but some insane, murderous denizen of hades, charged with protecting its horde of sustinence whatever the cost.
I won't be asking again!
Here is the demonic, caticidal killer herself...

Nick Hicks has got himself off to a less than auspicious start, his stack dwindling down to 7k or so, partly as a result of running into Aces twice already! Snickers, he probably thought as he spied another pair of bullets trained on his stack.
The latest hand to create a dent in his stack involved him betting out with A-J on a
flop, only to receive a flat call and now a check raise. He decided he didn't like this spot so laid it down, though when the check raiser bet out big on the turn and lost his only customer he was denied the opportunity to see if he was right.
Perhaps he got away from yet ANOTHER pair of bullets!
Here is Nick, down a few chips but still full of beans. Maybe a redbull would help sir...

Two of the biggest names here - Kyriacos Dionysiou and Demetrios Nikolaidis clash, which attack sees Greek Jack stacked...
Jack limped for 150, as did John Perrin, and then button Jason Wong upped it to 1,250. Interestingly, small blind Demetrios Nikolaidis as well as the two limpers called and saw a flop:
It checked round, bringing the
on the turn. Check to Greek Jack, who made it 3k to go, with only Nikolaidis calling this time.
River:
Check to Greek Jack once again, who plonked in the rest of his stack - 6,500. He was called, albeit after some deliberation, by Nikolaidis (pictured) who showed
and picked up the big pot and emptied seat 5.

BLUFF ALERT
A 9k pot goes to Daniel Walker (top) after a ballsy 3,500 bet on the river with the board standing
. He left himself just 2,050 behind, which sent his opponent Andrew Woods (the guy leaning forward in consternation in the bottom photo) with a clearly unpleasant decision. He took a long time to pass, during which Walker just sat there, hoody lowered like the Evil Emperor in Star Wars, and calmly waited until Woods passed. When he showed him the busted flush draw

Tikay is buzzing now and I encountered a unique situation that rarely occurs when speaking to Tikay about his progress. He gave me an accurate chip count!
Wowzer. Normally Tikay will make bold and highly fallacious claims about his stack but on this occasion his pride was shining through as he showcased the glistening and very real 16,000 chips he has accumulated thusfar.
Much of this was down to a fortuitous flop where 4 people limped on his big blind, he checked his option with
and the dealer laid out a splendid
flop.
Nice to flop the nuts with a redraw eh!
Paul
Garnham
aka M3boy was one of the players to donate some chips this hand, in a spicy battle where he was unable to force Tikay off the nuts. Some players just can't fold eh?
Anyway I was buoyed by Tikay's rare show of veracity and I began to leave the table with a rnew found optimism and feeling of love for mankind before he stopped me dead in my tracks...
"Oh, but tell blonde I have 35,000 ok?"
Cynicism mode restored. Faith in humanity>>>>recycle bin.
Tikay has crushed my renewed spirit of hope like a quaver under a jack-boot. Here he is simultaneously boasting about his giant stack to red dog whilst holding in his stomach to appear more attractive.
Does it work?

An interesting hand played out moments ago between John Sadler and a player who the table referred to lovingly as A.N Umpty.
Sadler raised to 700, only to find Mr Umpty, who is also known as Sean Breslin, re-raising all-in for a massive overshove of 7k!
Sadler made the call with A-K, probably expecting to find himself in a race or facing the same hand, only for Breslin to show how he came by his allocated nickname as he tabled the way behind and dominated A-6.
Poker is a fickle mistress though and on this occasion it was Sadler who was to be banished to the sofa with no tea or conjugal relations as the flop fell J-3-6-2-6 to give the fortunate Breslin trips and leave Sadler with a face like a bulldog chewing a lemon flavoured wasp.
Breslin allegedly did not show any humility for this outdraw though, rubbing his opponent down in unsportsmanlike fashion by thumping the table savagely several times, so hard at one point it almost threatened to wake Tikay up from his usual mid level slumber.
That's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes folks!

I don't know about you, but I just don't think Richard Berridge has done well enough here at DTD recently. All I can say is he just doubled up, giving him a good shot at this one, poor lamb.
Richard Berridge raised pre, re-raised by Ashley Smith to 2,100. Big blind Neil Blatchley had a good long dwell before passing, while early limper Liaquat Javed called quickly. Back to Berridge who was all in faster than Flushy can say, "Tapis!" and the full 6,325 was over to Smith to call. He eventually moved in over the top, effectively isolating with his
- but Berridge tabled
.
The flop came:
at which point a bit of a "WOOO!" escaped Richard, and he launched into a fast paced ramble about something like, "The last two comps I was knocked out with Aces" etc. etc. while a glum nearly-felted Smith looked on.
Blatchley couldn't help telling everyone, "My Jacks were in bad shape then," before advising, "You should have slow played them."
Berridge's response: "F*** off."
Berridge= seat 1, Smith= stipey sleeved seat 3.
