Luton GUKPT: Day 1B - At A Glance

[JungleCat03]

Womble on 6k or so was seen moving in from UTG. All fold and he picks up the blinds and antes.

As Kev sheltered his now shortish stack from the battery of antes chipping away at it, Alan Vinson was seen grumpily complaining at Nick Persaud leaving the table to speak to someone.

"You're slowing down the game all the time!" exclaimed Alan pointing and gesticulating at Nick and for a moment it looked as though there could be fisticuffs.

"And you were making comments about me raising out of position. None of your business!!!!"

Nick's attempts to defend himself were shouted down so he quietened down.

Rookie, watching the drama unfold with me, had to stop himself laughing as he whispered to me "do you think i should point out he just raised out of position again?"

Jonny Hewston lost a big amount of chips with K-8 vs K-T on a K-J-2 board, the turn and river giving the other player a broadway straight.

Today has been wildly different from yesterday in that, there are lots and lots of huge stacks, in fact we think almost twenty more people started today but we're almost down to the same number as yesterday already, (43).

Nick Slade has joined those on the cash tables which look to be incredibly healthy at the moment.

[JungleCat03]

Many pots now consist of pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass OR if you are lucky pass pass pass pass pass pass RAISE pass pass.

A few exceptions include Kev raising from LP after seeing an Ace. When they all folded he squeezed the other which he obviously liked as a pained expression hit his face..."would have been a bloody 2 if I'd checked it before raising.."

Michael Greco bit the dust a short while ago, his AQ losing out coin-flip style to Brett Davies pocket ...

Womble is sadly out after grinding his stack slowly upwards by SPLITTING 3 pots in close succession with 77 v 77, TT v TT and AT v AJ, he finally pushed in with KQ, but unfortunately ran his hand into Matt Myford's pocket rockets which held.

The players are now on a break with 48 players left. Kev was elated as he rushed outside for a cigarette. "I just got a walk in the BB! It nearly doubled my bloody stack!"

Average stack is 34,400.

[JungleCat03]

Last level for today will be 400 800 with a 75 ante....

If the final level mirrors yesterday's activity, there should be some pretty hefty action occurring as shorter stacks gamble to return tomorrow with a worthwhile numebr of chips.

Uh, oh, Kev has just appeared in the press room shortly after play has restarted and sadly, KEV IS OUT. I think he'll fill us in on the details but he has explained he "got it in behind, the best way really so I couldn't get outdrawn."

RIP Kev's chips.

I'm afraid Kev is OUT. against the pocket tens of Nik Persaud.

Also gone is a veritable cavalcade of action, Jonny Hewston, who lost most of his chips with vs on a board, all-in preflop I'm guessing. He was eliminated shortly afterwards in a multiway pot.

GUKPT Newcastle Winner Maz Nawab is out too. All the chips in by the river of a board with , except Alan Vinson was holding to take the pot.

[NoflopsHomer]

Wow, they're dropping like Ramones here.

George McKeever is gone, vs Rob Garfield's on an board.

David Shelley has gone too, K-J vs Alan Vinson's Fours, somehow missing on the A-T-9-8-2 board.

Hoss Parkhizar is another one, he pushed on a board but ran into D Tanna's , no help on the turn and the gave him trips but gave Yusuf the house.

Kevin O'Leary's stack continues to grow larger....

....that is till he doubles up Paul Jackson to 35,000 or so. Paul's Q8 spiking an 8 on the turn versus Kevin's AQ on a Q high flop.

Surinder is very short but wins two pots with raises preflop uncontested to add 4k to his stack of 7k.

I think Paul actually had Q9 on a Q 9 x flop to double vs Kevin's AQ. Apologies for that!

Sunny Chattha lost a few chips when he flopped two pair against a button raiser who turned the nut flush and Sunny was forced to pay-off a bet on the river.

Final hand of the night and after a few limpers, Surindar Sunar makes a big push from the button, the small blind passes threes, Ian Herbert calls in the big blind and Stuart Nash is forced to pass his A-J

Ian Herbert:

40 players left today, meaning 83 will return tomorrow at 4pm. A full chip count list will appear before then on this and the Day 2 thread. Until then, I just like to thank Junglecat for coming to update, and I'm sure you'll agree he did a great job.
