Manchester GUKPT: Day 1B - At A Glance

[danafish]

El Blondie bets 600 on a  flop and finds a call in James Reid.

Turn -  - Dave checks, James checks.

River -  - Dave bets 1300 and James calls.

Dave shows his full house and James shows his  not-a-straight-flush. El Blondie's on about 14.5k now.

[NoflopsHomer]

Julian just lost a chunk holding on a board, his opponents' scooping.

Reyaz Mulla and EPT Grand Finalist Steve Jelinek are both OUT.

[danafish]

Oh, so very unfortunate. The board is  and Mateyboy goes all-in for not very much; Maria calls instantly. Mateyboy turns over  ; Maria turns over her superior  . But oh dreadful!  on the river and Matey doubles up. Sick. Sick, sick sick. Matey has since self-destructed and disappeared...

It's all gone Wong for Ryan Fronda.

Fronda:



Richard Wong:



on the river leaving Fronda with about 3k left.

Sam Wan has 13k.

Iwan Jones is OUT, runner-runner flushed by Alan Davies.

[danafish]

Dewi's short now, on about 4k with the blinds now 100/200. "Um, I lost a few. At least tikay was wrong about me, he said I'd only last an hour and I lasted 2."

[danafish]

Three-way all in on Table Chili!

On a  flop, Mateyboy already all in, David Pomray (is that dpommo? It is, isn't it?) goes all in for 11k, and Paul Rigg calls.

Mateyboy - 

Probably Pommo - 

Paul Rigg - 

No diamonds or any other improvement for anyone and Mateyboy and Pomray are OUT.

[danafish]

On an  flop, David Copus bets 700. Mark Robinson, who I thought was a character in Neighbours but never was, raises another 2000. David Copus reraises another 8k or so, and Robinson fairly swiftly folds. He's now pretty short on around 4k. Joey Lovelady (my favourite name so far today) says to Copus, "You didn't have an ace, did you?" Copus - "Er, no."

[NoflopsHomer]

Praz Bansi is OUT. Was very short and apparently missed a flush draw.

[danafish]

Slightly rounded chip counts -

Neil Channing - 15k

Vicky Coren - 21k

Ed Arees - 5.5k

[danafish]

Found Chili smoking a cigarette. She's doing fine on 14k, but keeps having those upsetting moments when you fold your rubbish before the flop, only to see that you would have hit spectacularly. One particularly sad hand, she called a raise with 6 - 8; Vicky Coren re-raised and she folded. The flop came 6 - 8 - 10, and the turn another 6. The chips flew in, Vicky holding pocket queens and someone else holding another overpair. Maria would have take them both out, which would have made her happy, but she didn't and she's not. "You can't call a re-re-raise [I guess there was more raising than Vicky's preflop] with 6 - 8. Oh well, back to work..."

[NoflopsHomer]

Praz was circumspect about his exit, "Didn't hit anything really today, played my last hand pretty badly." He's now contemplating an express trip to Vegas to play the WPT  main event.

Pedro Ramos is OUT and a bit grumpy. Neil Channing folded on the river to Kayfhen Muthy's bet on a board of . Ramos wasn't happy to see his outdrawn by the of Muthy.

Ian Nelson has doubled up with A-9 against A-J.

[danafish]

Dewi is OUT. With ACES. And courtesy of crosscourt. Dewi raised with his aces, crosscourt called. Flop 9 - J - K, and Dewi moved in; crosscourt called with AQ and hit his ten on the river. "I knew I was gonna lose," said Dewi. "But I'm not botherrrrrrred." He has a brand new pint of Guinness, and is looking pretty pleased with himself.

Dewi was short and there were two spades on the flop and crosscourt had , so he wasn't passing.


Rudders pushes Jac Arama off Kings news now.

Having limped called a raise with T-8, Rudders check-raised Jac Arama's 1k bet to 3k before pushing on the turn of a T-9-7 board getting his opponent to fold. "I thought he had an overpair, but I knew he was good enough to lay it down."
