So 77 remain with blinds 3000-6000. 40 minute clock then an hour clock for the final

64 are paid, £600 up

1st is expected to be £37,500

I'll put the full payout up when I see it




Tips to win?

Hopes to win?

Lol at table 11. Good luck everyone I know.

Pull up a chair to table 11 Tighty and you should get enough content for the update there!

Good luck to all the blondes still in. Interesting that the second highest chip stack was from a live Day 1. Maybe those who were complaining would like to backtrack a bit now?

Same orbit Lawrence Townsend then shoves a short-stack, called by Pannell and called all in buy Hussain

Townsend trebles up with 99 v AK v AJ

Loz @ table 11. Mr G Johnson ftw plz.

Greek Jack opened, was three bet by Anonymous, and shoved 175,000

Anonymous found a call with A-10off for the lot

Greek Jack A-K

A-Q-x-x-10 did for the potato magnate

blinds up

4000-8000

average 239,000

66 left, 64 paid

exits

70    Leon Campbell
71    Mark Wagstaff
72    Darren Hodson


Off to watch the bubble from round about table 11...

Look at these heroes grinding away. Good luck to lil Dave, Ben Vinson, george2loose and I suppose Marcin too.

Well that was a strange bubble


In 66th Chinese Frankie shoved 95,000 with K-K

Mark McCluskey is a no show in the big blind in this hand

Doig Rudling sees an Ace, and calls with A-8.

Spikes his Ace, and knocks Frankie out

Frankie is currently motoring round the cardroom like Bernie Clifton on his ostrich, on speed.

Not the happiest chappy. Unlucky Frankie

--


On the pure bubble on the same hand for hand Anthony Soan and Alex Zacharakis play a big one. Soan 3 betting pre from the big blind and being called, and check raising all in on 9-J-4

Zacharakis folds

---

So after this hand Mark McCluskey who would have come back to 10xbb has 2,000 left in the small blind

His hand is dead, not played out

Alan Stearn shoves, wins the pot

The absent McCluskey bubbles and we are down to 64 all guaranteed £600 and up



and as of this moment Mark McCluskey has just turned up for a 2pm start

Ouch ouch ouch

According to DTD website 72 paid

Why are people thinking its a 2pm start?

top end payours are

37000
21000
12950
10100
7800
5800
4500
3600
2700
2000

no its 64. 100% certain

71 of the 77 turned up for 1pm

(http://thechive.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/facepalm.jpg)

bad day at the office!

George Bedi has had a tough start

Has played two hands in the first hour, lost both of them

Down to 220,000 at 4000-8000

@MarkJMcCluskey: Got distracted chatting during the overnight bag up @ DTD so missed the announcement of new day 2 start time. Blinded away :( my bad. GL to all the blondes still in

Alex Protheroe knocks out Raggy Clarke

JJ v Q9 on 8-9-10-Q

Clarke raised pre, called a three bet and open shoved the flop

lol wp Mark.

Tell them to sort the DTD results page out because on there it has the payouts next to the names from 72, check it out!

We are aware it' says 72 this was a deeper payout that wasn't used, it will be updated in good time, those playing know what they are playing for and rich has the full payout.
Cheers nick

Pete Haslam raises UTG and Bradley Joyce ships the bb

Haslam Q-Q

Joyce J-J

Queens hold

Haslam up to 650,000, a top five stack

David Welch opens to 23000 in the cut off at 5000-1000

Rupinder Bedi 54000 on the button

Ben Vinson 90,000 in the big blind

Welch ships 280,000

Bedi folds

Vinson calls with Aces

Welch A-K

Aces hold to knock Welch out and consolidate Vinson's chip lead


Welch spoke to me afterwards

"Its the toughest table in the room by far and I have been there three orbits. I have to stick in in there against these guys, not going to be too many chances to chip up at this table. Gutting really"

Athir Ali knocks out Ross Murphy

blind on blind raising war with small blind Murphy getting the last raise in with A-8

Ali called his stack off with A-J, just covered Murphy and flopped a Jack for good measure

Guy Johnson to win!

hi every1 hello tighty  i mentioned   before and i say again they paying too many people and too much at the buttom end i m not happy with that nore many people i ve spoken it s becoming like online pay out to keep some people happy that needs to be changed if u collect 160 k 1st price should be at least 43k or around %27   any 1 else agree or disgree?

Will Mitchell, the man who wears personalised hoodies to poker comps, opens to 18,000

Ali Mallu 3 bets the button to 200,000 from 600,000

Will smiles

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oyKf0fbEWxM/UQ51PlchtjI/AAAAAAAAeOc/5Xt6YCVhXmE/s575/DSC01724.JPG)


"You are doing that out of respect aren't you? You don't want to play me down the streets" says Will

Half of Ali's top lip curls in such disdain, and the right eyebrow raises simultaneously, that I find this the funniest thing I think I have ever seen at DTD. Wish it had been live streamed. A completely priceless look.

Rupinder Bedi button raises to 25,000

Lawrence Townsend shoves Q-J for 120,000 in the small blind

Bedi makes a good call, really good I think, seeing as he only has 180,000 with K-Q

Flops a K, knocks Townsend out

Townsend tells me

"good player, could have anything, thought shoving would take it down much more often than not"

I opened to 20k off 200 and he jammed 103k total. Can't really fold

Thanks, was going off Lawrence's figures when he spoke to me

Good luck to Isaac.. Taking the missus and kids for Sunday dinner and will join the rest of team MBN to rail..

GL to all playing..

Yer sorry rich got the count wrong ...

Agree with this. Just pay 10% of field.

Batey, looking like a pale Ali G in hoodie, baseball hat, dark glasses and an attitude looks at me for my approval. We go back a long way from when he was playing bowl poker.

I nod, almost imperceptibly.


The role of mentor to future stars gathers pace.

Ben Vinson has been chip leader since Thursday

Behind him Marcin Milde, Anthony Cartwright, Athir Ali, David Nicholson and Peter Haslam amongst others are girding their loins and mustering for the fight

This could be a classic.

Tom Myland shoves 207,000 with A-9 off

On the button Haslam calls, leaving himself 350,000 behind with J-J

In the big blind Anthony Soan thinks

Birds return from their winter in the south while he thinks

"I cannot believe I am passing" and passes A-Kcc

A-9-x-x-K doubles Myland up

He would have been out if Soan have called.

Fine margins...

Tom Kugelstadt opens

Anthony Cartwright 3 bets the big blind

kugelstadt 4 bet shoves for 220,000 more

Cartwright folds 10-10

Lets hope Vinson doesn't have a hand then....

Vinson folds

Smith  Ahrt Jd

Rudling  Aspades Qc

Terrific service on the pics, I can not believe I did not bok her. You even beat me to the aces v 8's hand, I had finished my post and there you had it. How can you be in three places at once? Any news on your co commentator in the booth? I know Herbie is in the building.

Genuinely, I asked Herbie if he wanted to co-commentate tonight. He turned me down!


Anyone in the building who wants to commentate, whether for the craic, the experience or just to see what it is all about, find me and you can join in later!

The Lildave story

Rudling opened

Dave shipped 20x bb with AJ

Haslam called all in for a bit less with A-K

Rudfling folds

Dave spikes a Jack to knock Haslam out and double up to c900k

Honeybadger, Stuart Barnett, is one confirmed co-commentator for tonight's final

Which should be good. The man knows poker, strategy and stuff!

Make sure they put a decent buffet in the commentary box :)

There was a buffet but Stu got to it first

gogogo weeDave.

Look forward to the commentary, more than I already was ofc  ;)

Pics and updates if Liam Batey please?

Shortstack Mike Jones shoves 150,000

flop  Kc 5c 4c to double Jones up

---

Guy Barron knocks out Jamie Hollands with Jacks against Tens all in pre to go to 900,000

---

David Nicholson over 1m, second chip leader

He won a pot off Skalie, 4 betting pre (I think) to take it down

They came here together today and Guy J says "you've got to take him home yet" to Skalie

Richard Millar shoves 249,000 UTG

Tom  Kugelstadt reshoves in mid position

Millar K-Q

Kugelstadt A-J

Q-9-6-10-K to knock Millar out 28th

He has 450,000 so struggling a bit with avergae nearly 600,000

Does he wear those sunglasses in the house too?

Ali chip leader-ish with around 1.2m

GL Paul Moyce. Definition of a shortstack ninja. Let us know if he gets above 15 bigs Tighty. He might get a nosebleed

Down to three tables, and table 11 has broken

"That's a shame" I say to myself standing nearby

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo, thank ****" says Guy Johnson in exaggerated fashion. It's made his day to have that table break!

Anon raises and Craig White 3 bets

Anon 4 bets him froma  top 3 stack

White shoves

Call

Anon A-J

White 10-10

A on the flop, J on the river

White out 26th


This Anon "Me Duck" is challenging for the chip lead

Good luck to Ben and little Dave from France. Great updates Tighty.

"Are you famous?" Athir Ali says to Ben Vinson

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8pY_mETlIPc/UQ6o8w570ZI/AAAAAAAAeRk/kb4IDvlzwSA/s575/DSC01745.JPG)

"Only in my own house" replies Ben

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-d8mdybbNu0g/UQ6o907Cx-I/AAAAAAAAeRo/PxPY_1dxFus/s575/DSC01746.JPG)

Ali has raised and Ben has peeled the big

Ben has check called the flop

And check raised large on the turn, the chips in the foreground are Ben's

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-bNtr-wzzyrg/UQ6o7S5NeFI/AAAAAAAAeRY/eOrnQmPBc6E/s858/DSC01744.JPG)

"I am such a bad player" says Ali, should shove the flop

"I am going to toss a coin, see what to do"

He tosses a pound coin on the felt

"damn, wrong answer"

He thinks some more

"If I make this call I win the tournament"

I resist the temptation to tell him to make the call then

He thinks some more, face contorted in agony

It's a 1.5m chip pot if he calls


He folds

Vinson smiles the smile of a young boy whose mum has caught him with his hand in the biscuit tin

"I knew it" says Ali. "I passed A-J"

Vinson shows the  Ks and is definitely the chip leader again

At 15,000-30,000

All good sport

In the big blind Matt Harris's christmases have all come at once

He has Queens. And 600,000

He nonchalantly shoves

Anon calls with 6-6

Queens hold...

Harris doubles up, wrapped up in a bow in nice shiny paper

Marcin Milde raises to 60,000

Liam Batey button shoves 300,000 with 8-8

In the big blind Marcin ilde only playing 500,000 now calls with K-Jss

9-A-6-5-10 Doubles Batey up



The majority of this field is now in shove mode at approaching 20-40k. Average is a touch over 20x bb but the chips are concentrated in Vinson and Anon's Hands

Vinson has 2m+, so the "real" average is sub 20x bb

and as I type, following the lost race Marcin Milde is out 21st......

Paul Mason on the button shoves 600,000 with 9-9

In the small blind Anon calls with A-Qcc

4-9-Q flop

expletives flow from the mouth of Anon like a Tsunami of emotion

Mason doubles to 1.3m

Lil Dave opens on the button with A-Q playing 1.2m

Dominic Cugudda peels

Cugudda open shoves 3x the pot on A-5-6

Cugudda 7-8, which gets there to double Cugudda up and leave Nicholson with 600,000 or 15x bb......

Folded round to Guy Johnson in the big blind

12x bb

Shove Q-5 into Guy Barron

Who calls with 7-7

J-9-J flop gives him some more hope, but the board bricks

Guy Johnson out 20th for £1,200

Nice early finish today tighty? Longer days on the first day work better in your opinion?

Kugelstadt ftw!

it will be 2am ish, so a couple of hours earlier

I've struggled this weekend, the extra live level is nasty for me...but probably better for the comp

Richard Paul doubles through Matt Harris in a 1.2m pot

A-Q open, 10-10 shove from Harris in the big

Ace on the flop

Just sweated page by page - awesome to see lil dave doing so well. Go on the wee man!

And looks like Tom K and Bedi running bad deep again :(

Ben Vinson is long long overdue a big score, so good luck to him - him and Dave must be strong favourites here.

Great work tighty.

another pic and update of Liam Batey?

he's the shortstack of ten with 500,000 blinds just going 30-60k

He is shoving fairly frequently but interestingly and very cleverly NEVER into Ben Vinson's big blind. Shrewd (as presumably Ben and his stack/knowledge will call wider than a lot of others)

He hasn't been called yet, and is picking up enough blinds and antes to keep in it

Lil Dave or Ben Vincent for the win. Trying to negotiate with Poker Stars to get the live stream on the big screen in Deauville.
They are not receptive. Really ?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz atleast let lildave win now ffs.

Congrats Lil Dave, enjoy  :cheers:

Sososososo due a live title. Such a hard worker, such a sicko and such a fkn baller. Really wish I was still there for the after party!

Kid done good. WPWP!

What a fantastic final that was!

Brilliant play by a number of players


Well worth catching when the finalis uploaded onto dtdpoker.com in a few days

Some astonishing moves

David Nicholson played flawless poker all final, dominated short-handed and heads up and was a deserved and popular winner


Thank you very much to Honeybadger for giving his evening up to commentate. Good job

Thank you everyone for reading. I am off to watch the second half of the Superbowl

Goodnight

Yes David!!! Well done

Well done, Dave.

GG Hero.

Very well done Lil Dave a superb exhibition of poker.

Unbelievable updating tekkers from Tighty.

I honestly don't know how you manage to maintain such a high standard for so long.

I salute you both.

Thanks very much Tighty, Stu and congrats Lil Dave on a great result!

Don't normally watch these but did tonight.

Thought it was a really good final with most playing really well.

Tighty is always good on the mic, but I thought Stu really added a lot to this.

Well done boys

Well done Dave.

This will be a very popular result at DTD for sure.

One for the good guys I think.

Cheers Rob

Wd Dave, well pleased for you.

boooooooom well done dave, now ship for those snooker tickets fish :)

Congrats mate, gonna make an effort to watch the re-run to learn dem mad skillz.

Gratz to honeybadger too. What a fucking life.

Massive congratulations to Lil'Dave for an amazing result and an equally amazing performance. He is pretty much the nicest guy I know in poker and it is a privilege to be his friend. What a legend. Dave, you should be hugely proud of yourself.

I thought the standard of play on that final table was extremely good and the 92 play was stunning. A special mention to Matt who finished second. He played great all final and it is a shame he let his head go down in the last part of the heads up duel. I had a really good chat with him afterwards and I reckon he is a star in the making. Such a good attitude towards the game, and very humble too.

I really enjoyed doing the commentary and thanks so much for all the kind comments. Never done that sort of thing before and I was very nervous. Hope I didn't go on with myself too much!

Now just got to sweat the 49ers in what will hopefully turn out to be a massive comeback. Will be a perfect end to a great night.

Great Results....and great to watch and read updates....well done Dave!

Huge Congrats lildave!!! I railed for a full 10 mins today, obv wanted to rail longer but had to play the £100 final (not thin at all :))

Really chuffed for you. I'm also gonna watch the recording of the feed in the next few days with a notepad!

Thanks guys, obviously I'm very happy with the result and I got many lucky hands throughout the day and threw in the odd good bit of play in there :P lovely support from all on blonde like I said I have a lot of time for a lot of people on here so was very much appreciated :)

Yes, agree with Stu, Matt played great all final, on entering the final I 100% underestimated him, I didn;t think he had some of the moves he made on the final in him but he clearly had great instincts for the game and a good technical game, very impressive and 5-3 handed I think he got the better of me. I got the better of the cards HU and had the run of the tempo so was pretty difficult for him and the TT*** hand sunk his morale which was kind of a shame because he really did play a superb game up till that point. Lovely Kid as well and his mates were all top guys (and girl). Hope he gets a blonde account and gets stuck in!

Great updates and no doubt interesting commentary from my friend Stu. Thanks everyone GN xx

Pretty tilt that my face looks chubby in the pictures

37k of plastic surgery can sort that out mate!

Well played!

Wp both of you.

Great result chubby!

Hey guys, makes sense that my first post comes on this thread! Glad so many people watched my biggest ever tournament cash by some margin, fantastic to play with so many great players. I think my inexperienced showed through heads up, where I quite rightly got crushed (sounds like a popular result though!). Hope I didn't embarass myself too much overall, fantastic atmosphere, hope to make a more serious run at the national circuit sometime soon. Full credit to Dave, one of the nicest guys I've ever met and showed true class, both through his poker and his grace in victory. A worthy winner! (WHERE THE FUCK WAS MY SPADE!)
Matt

Well-played Matt. Great result, and welcome to blonde.

:hello:

Thanks :) I think it's clear where I need a little more work and a little more experience, but prior to heads up I'm happy with how I played. BIG bankroll boost :)

Dave in a fantastic display of tekkers, wpwpwp

oioi, well played Dave. Congrats

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii congrats Dave!

Well played Dave

(http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o282/RoCk55On51/Picture014.jpg)

Yes Dave!!! You won!!! Does the feeling live up to your expectations? Are you sucked in now to the live tournament buzz? So happy for you mate, couldn't happen to a nicer kid.

Congratulations sir - one of the good guys and a confirmed winner on so many levels.

Couldn't view live due to the atrocious wifi and 3G signals in G last night - can't wait to watch it and to hear the views of Stuart

Wpwpwp Dave. Splendid blog also.

tell me he had written it already and spent all the money :)

Haha thanks mate, lol no, there MIGHT be another live tournament in me between now and the summer but I'd be surprised ! Guess I can sell at 1.47 now yh?

So tempted to chop a bit of finger off so i can win an MTT too! Wp Dave of the lil variety.

Just spent time with my morning coffee reading the entire thread.

First things first, WPWP Lil Dave, such an incred and deserved result. Couldnt be more chuffed for you mate.

Would also like to thank all the kind words for me in the thread, really nice to see it, and sorry I wasnt on blonde to see it all yesterday, but it is really appreciated.

The biggest irony of yesterday, was that table 11 breaking and my subsequent redraw was probably the worst beat of the day. I was delighted with how I played, just lost traction at the wrong time.

Also great work tighty, really have no idea how you get round so much.

WPWP lil Dave again, hopefully kickstart the year fella!

Really enjoyed the commentary and the play on the final table was awesome,well played dave 1st of many imo

This really was a good final table

So often the play on these can be a bit stilted, and its understandable as the money at stake is large, and the pay jumps big, and people can't deal.

Not this final though. I think I expected Ben V and LilDave to fight it out, but early on there was one of the best plays you will ever see from a player I have never seen before, Richard Paul. It starts when he raises with 2-9.....I can post the hand up, but am wary of spoilers as I hope a load of people watch the re-run

Then, as the final wore on, Matt "Rexas" (new blonde) Harris started mixing it up. I'm not sure if it is true Matt that you won your entry into this by winning a pub raffle? Or is that a mistake on my behalf? I think I heard you say it! Some spin up if its right....

Anyway, it was a pleasure to watch.

www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/live and "past streams", and it will be there by midweek.

There is the option of watching with the sound turned down! but don't, Honeybadger talks as well as writes well about the game he clearly loves.

Big congrats to Lil Dave the Ft was great to watch and by far the best I've seen wp all

wp all. shout out to ziggy making final table :))))

So Dave rolls up nearly an hour late and still takes the thing down?

He plays when he waaaaaaaannnnntsssss, that Lil Dave, he plays when he waaaaannnntttssss.

massive kudos, wp. you know there's sick variance in tournaments when you find yourself up against Lil dave deep in one, no way to get past his mad heater skills on the day!

Thanks yeahman.  I am a long time reader of this forum but my first DTD deepstack final table has inspired me to sign up!

Well done to Dave, glad I donated my chips to the winner.

You are already able to rewatch the action here:

http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/live.php

Just click on previous streams and it is the first video listed

No offence to matt, but so glad lil'd won this! Like honeybadger said - Dave is one of if not the nicest poker player I know, always has time for everyone and happens to have a little talent in the finger he negotiated to keep from the Chinese guys who took tue other one.

I hope this helps dent his runbad hole for the year, he showed me his graph this week and I laughed but also cried when i saw the EV going up and the $$ going down.

He's helped me personally a lot, and deserves a mantlepiece ornament.  I'm looking forward to celebrating with a drink next time i see him.

Well done mate.

I watched more of this live stream than previous ones.

Have to say it was a pretty masterful performance from Dave, never really under pressure, looked totally in command of the situation and his own decision making. Really vwp and a great win.

Also found Tighty's commentary very accomplished and thought Stu was the ideal guy in the second chair - really good mix of humour and first class analysis without getting too preoccupied with jargon. Very very good and excellent free entertainment

Well played Lil Dave! great result :)

The pub raffle thing was my first ever live tournament a few years back in a side event to a poker festival in brighton (literally the worst feeling ever, QQ into 77 at the final table and he spikes a seven, not that i remember at all.... ;)). I won my seat to this event through a satellite and a beautiful folding performance :) (I'm such a nit...)

Lil'D definitely the nicest man in poker 2013 and beyond. Thank f for that!  :) WP mate and congrats.

Haha, I'd have believed you wanted rid of the tag if you didn't put f, Julian knew it'd take the full word to be shot of it.

Fuck you Mondapoo  ;)

Just seen this. Great result!

VWP Dave

thanks mate :)
