DTD Deepstack £500 - Day 1: Interactive

[The_nun]

Happy:  Jonathan Spink (I think) who's getting a bit of a grilling from the triumvirate of Fran, Julian and Des for being from Devon, but seems to be taking it all in his stride:





Sad:  Red-Dog, who only has five chips.  One of them is a purple 5k one though...

And what is wrong with being from Devon?.....

 I think that's why he's laughing, or it could be because Des asked him repeatedly if he was 'a pub player'.  They're just being silly.  Plus I think he also did that thing Americans usually do which is if you say you're from a place they assume you know everyone there.  Like if you say you come from London they ask if you know the Queen.    But with Devon instead of London.

And did they ask 'Do you know that lovely chap Jim-D'?

Dave Colclough has added another 6k or after betting 3k on the river of a board, getting called, and proudly showing his for a rivered flush.

Scott Keates continues to impress, he raises from the button and gets 3 callers including Woodsey, who apologises in advance, points to the other two players saying, "If I win it's their fault" implying he's calling because of odds and nothing else.



Checked around.



It's checked around to Keates who checks to the button, who bets 5k. Keates is the only caller.



Check check, the American's A-K wins.

[NoflopsHomer]

Tom Rutter bets 6k on a board and receives two callers. Clearly a little worried, he checks the river but his opponents can't beat his and he scoops a 20k pot.

From the stack sizes, I cleverly deduce that Greek Jack is the denter of the Snoopy Stack, along with several others...

Updates on Stuart Hopkin please. I think his blonde name's something like StuartHopkin if you're interested.That's him sat next to Tom with the iPod on.

Thanks

Red is OUT.

[NoflopsHomer]

Joe Stevenson is out due to an old anal mauling, he moved in with on the flop and was snap-called by which picked up extra outs on the turn and made the nuts on the river to scoop the pot.

John 'Reggie' Perrin has also now left Thunderdome, he was all-in with aces against the flush draw of , an Ace on the turn delaying the sickening thud that must have hit his stomach when a diamond appeared on the river.

Thewy has gone. No sign of Dewi or Louie either.

Latest from the end of Level Seven:  Przemek Rusin does some calling and passing; Tyler doubles up; Billy's chips not ngoing anywhere...

Carl Williams added a few chips to his stack raising to 3,400 under the gun and receiving one caller in Rusin. 
Flop:    Rusin checked, Williams bet 5k, and after a dwell got a call.
Turn:    Again, check to Williams, who again bet 5k, this time taking it down.

The next hand, Billy Ngo raises preflop to 1,450, called by neighbour Rick Trigg and button Przemek Rusin. 
Flop:    Billy bet out 2,400, which was quickly raised to 5,500 by Rick... Without dwell Rusin AND Ngo passed, the latter showing which went into the muck instantly.  Rick Trigg had the eyes of the table fixed on him as he tantalised them with a lift of the corner of a card, before mucking them to general disappointment.  Anyone else think that was a pretty tight fold?

But Billy is clearly in a good mood, with enough chips to see him comfortably into day two...

[NoflopsHomer]

LeKnave raises to 1,700 from the cut-off. Steve Jelinek re-raises to 4,700 from the button. Paul Lammas thinks for a long while before moving all-in for about 7k. LeKnave immediately sets Jelinek in for his remaining 11k, but the latter quickly passes, with just the slightest hint of a man who knew he got caught.

Lammas:
LeKnave:



I guess Paul would've taken that flop at least, but he's out now while Dave 'LeKnave' Jones is up to the virtual nosebleed heights of 50k.

[Djinn]

Paul Gourlay gets out of jail, and a very large double up in the process...

Paul raised under the gun (he does seem to do this more often than one might expect) to 2,100, called in three spots - Richard Berridge, the button and the big blind Scott Yeates.
Flop:    Check from Yeates, and out bets Paul 8,500.  He's called quickly by Berridge, and the others pass.
Turn:    Paul instantly makes that hand-wavy gesture which signifies all-in, and after a moment's hesitation, Berridge makes the call - and it's not for peanuts - 27,525.
Paul Gourlay: 
Richard Berridge: 

River..... , and barely a wince later, from Richard at least, Paul is up to over 75k and looking ever so slightly sheepish.
