Firstly, as I popped over to say hi, Ray was calling an 800 flop bet from Jean-Bernard Bot on a 4h Jh 5d flop. They both then checked the 7c turn and Qd river, with Ray's Ac 5c enough to take the 3k pot. As he was stacking the chips, Ray was in the SB and called a late position 450 raise from Chris Wicher. They went heads up to the Qh Ad 8h flop and Ray then check-raised Wicher's 750 c-bet to 1775. Wicher thought for a bit and then just called. The turn was the Qd and Ray quickly bet 2700. Wicher again called and it was on the 9s river where things went mental. Ray went to bet again and counted out 4 chips. One was black, 2 were yellow and one was Orange? Oops... Ray visibly started as he knew straight away he had put the wrong denomination chip in. It was therefore 27,100 to call and Wicher, weirdly, looked visibly pained! It appeared that he hadn't seen Ray's reaction to the bet and was wondering why mondatoo had made a massive overbet on the river. Thankfully for our hero (and his backers), Wicher passed and tapped the table. Mondatoo? He just raked the chips in with a grimace on his face and a quick conversation between us saw him admit "yeah, it should have been 7100!!"

He check calls 1500 on a 7h 5h 4d flop. Same move on the turn of Tc . The River card comes Kh. After a sigh his opponent folds to Alex's river bet. Discussion between the two ensues. Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: TightEnd on June 01, 2013, 01:07:51 PM British Gas

His opponent flips over quad Jacks and declares 'You have 9's I go all in with 9's.' Frankie lets out a small smile and responds with 'You check, I bet, then call an all in.'
Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: KarmaDope on June 01, 2013, 01:39:37 PM Lots of small pots so far and lots of chatter...
No, this isn't the entirety of the Beckham room, this is just Frankie's table. He spots me as he is in a hand and calls me over: "Write this down, yes, you, the English *points at one of our Spanish colleagues* and make sure you write this down as well! I want this in Portuguese as well". Naturally, I did, and the flop was 6h Td Kd and Frankie has checked to a player whose name has not yet appeared on our player list. Mateyboy bets 600 and Frankie calls. The turn is the 3d and Frankie is relentless with the speech play, but checks again. His wary opponent checks behind and the river is the 7d. Frankie again checks and his opponent checks behind. Neither have a diamond and Frankie's Jh Ts is good, but there has to be one last comment as he tells Mateyboy "If you bet I fold". Mateyboy just grins ruefully and says "yeah, I know!" Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: KarmaDope on June 01, 2013, 01:43:40 PM Pete Linton qualified last night with a ridiculous 190k stack. Today he's found himself on the same table as Liz Lieu and is already up over 230k after "I called a raise with QT and the flop was QT3 all spades. I got paid off when I rivered a Ten and somehow the guy over there (Nuno Miguel Campos Antunes) flats me with AK spades".

All the DTD regs you'd expect to see are here. Problem is, and accounting for the vast majority of the numbers shortfall compared to what is required, is that the "grass roots" of poker pubs, poker clubs, home games etc have very little presence here, and indeed didn't in the Online satellites/feeders either.

After his 9's cooler Frankie and Tom Langley chop a big pot. The pot is opened for 1175 on 9s 7h Jh Frankie 3 bets to 2800 which Tom flats. Seat two (sat between TL and Frankie) 4 bets to 7700. Frankie shoves for 36K as does Tom with 31. After much thought seat two calls and shows a set of Jacks, Frankie shows 8d Ts and Tom likewise with 8c Tc . The turn and river play out Kc 4d. Tom rakes his pot quietly, while Frankie declares that he indeed is back. Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: pleno1 on June 01, 2013, 02:28:30 PM Is terr a 1c tomorrow?

It was checked to Mateyboy on the 5h Kd Jh and he bet 1400. Murray and the BB Luigi Cocita called and we went 3-way to the 3d turn. Mateyboy bet 4500 and Murray folded, flashing me his cards. Cocita called and the river was the Aspades. Mateyboy bet 11,900 and Cocita passed.

The river is 4s and Simon checks again, this time a bet of 7100 see's Simon fold after some time tanking.

Despite hating Jacks, the gentleman liked his 9-9 enough to shove over the top of a Sykes raise. Sykes called with A-Khh and was good on the 6-T-2-A-6 board, despite commenting "I never win these" when he missed the flop! Peter Linton is back over 200k after he played a hand with Luke Hallinan where Linton check-raised Luke's 900 bet to 220 on a 2s 9c 4c flop, then led for 5000 on the 3s turn and 12000 on the 5h river. Hallinan called down and was dismayed to be shown Ahrt 6h for the second nut straight before he mucked what this roving reporter thinks was probably the wheel.

He flatted a raise from Michael Maruna preflop holding Ahrt Qh and they saw Neil Raine flat from the button, mateyboy flat the small blind and mondatoo was obliged to flick it in from the bb. The flop was perfect for the man from Luton - Kh 5h 4h. Maruna led for 3k and Das just called. Everyone else got out of the way pretty quickly! The turn wasn't the best though, the 8h putting 4 hearts on the board. Maruna then checked, and Das bet out 4k. Maruna just called. The river was the blank of all blanks for this board, the Qc. Maruna then led for 6k. Das, with a flopped nut flush, naturally made it 16k. You have to believe he is ahead? Well, Maruna then moves all in for 38k!! Das snapped his hand off, insta-calling. Oops. Maruna had 7h 6h for the straight flush! Das is down to 20k.

The only way there might not be is if you get a Trickett or a Benjamine finalling, where the money is comparatively unimportant and they might think the dynamics of the situation could see them bully the heck out of recreational players who have made it that far I think deals can only be discussed once final table is hit? Otherwise I suspect it might be earlier than that even. As has been said Simon Trumper has undertaken to oversee any deal discussions and ensure fairness. We'll find out on Wednesday.

They saw a flop of 8d Th 2d and Doumas check-called a bet of 2,000. Both players then checked the Tc turn and Doumas fired out a chunky 3600 bet on the 3c river. Lewis sigh-called and Doumas didn't want to show, but was forced to show first and resignedly turned over Kc Jd.
Which was good as Lewis flashed Kd 9d before mucking! Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: GlennDuskTillDawn on June 01, 2013, 07:07:57 PM Slowly grinding as it seems everyone wanted to make the break without busting. Paul Jenkinson looks short but his 1300 C bet on 2c 6c Kc gets through.
Slighlty larger pot from Mitch Johnson where he raises to 1500, is 3 bet to 3K. He 4 bets to 7100 and thats the end of that. Didn't see any decent pots in the 20 minute build up to the dinner break. Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: KarmaDope on June 01, 2013, 07:09:44 PM Recent exits:

Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: KarmaDope on June 01, 2013, 07:45:06 PM Just before the break Adebayo Otetyinbo raised to 1800 and got 3 callers. All 4 players checked the Jh 6h 4h flop and when Adebayo bet the 8h turn, he got 2 callers in Farhad Afshin and Chris Hatten. The river was the 7d and all players checked.
A pretty disastrous board for Adebayo it turns out, as he had 8d 8c for a set of 8's. Afshin mucked and Chris actually held 4d 4c for a set of 4's! Both players were left shaking their heads, but for entirely different reasons.

Story checks out. Just does what he wants Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: TightEnd on June 01, 2013, 08:31:28 PM Pete Linton is still the chip leader with around 300,000
Say hello to Pete everyone, he is voraciously reading the updates He says that he had a dream table earlier, but the alst couple of levels he has become shorter of cards and the line up has become tougher. For example James Akenhead is now on his table He tells me that seat draw is pretty crucial in this, with such a wide disparity in players, nationalities and buy-in expertise Crucial, he says, is the Day three seat draw as we look like starting tomorrow only 20-30 places off the money and the opportunity to chip up there is very important.... As we finished chatting, Akenhead raised, the button called and Linton called in the big blind 6s 4d Ts Linton checks Akenhead 3,000 into 6,000 the button 7,000 Linton check raise to 15,000 and gets two folds So he now has over 330,000 again.... Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: claypole on June 01, 2013, 08:36:01 PM And gone....great fun, very enjoyable except for just enduring worst sigh, shaking head nitroll by Kd Ad making me think my Jd Jc was miles clear. Good luck all left in - especially Bedi, Trigg and Monda
Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: GlennDuskTillDawn on June 01, 2013, 08:36:41 PM Easy game. On a board of 8d 5c 9h 4c 4d Michael Mizrachi is heads up. His opponents move on the river? Open fold. Dealer asks Mizrachi to 'show his hand' to win the pot. Michael smiles and responds: 'What happens if I don't show?' As he shows his hand the general chit chat seems to point towards calling the floor should the hand not be shown.
Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: KarmaDope on June 01, 2013, 08:39:56 PM Martins Adeniya was in an interesting hand just before his table broke.
I joined the hand with the board showing 8c 8s Th and Mo Muse had bet 5400. Martins and Mo were heads up and Martins casually chucked in the call. They went to the 9s turn and Mo checked. Martins bet 9700 and Mo grimaced but called. It was on the river that things got nasty. An innocuous 3h saw Mo check again. Martins had 32k back and this was about the size of the pot, so he moved all in. Mo went into the tank for what seriously only felt like 90 seconds to me, and during this one of the floormen came over to break the table. Suddenly, Martial Blangenwitsch in seat 7 called for the clock! Mo was visibly upset and glared at him before rolling his cards over to flash 2 paint cards which were black suits, and folded face down. As the dealer went to take the cards into the muck, Martial flew up and made the dealer show Mo's hand (Qs Qc) to the table, claiming the "show one, show all" rule! Thankfully the table broke after that hand otherwise tempers may have boiled over! Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: janstar on June 01, 2013, 08:45:21 PM What time does day2b end please.And is it a 12noon start tomorrow,thank you.GREAT UPDATES.
Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: KarmaDope on June 01, 2013, 08:45:30 PM Roberto Romanello is having fun over on table 21. He just called a late position raise to 1600 from mateyboy and Eugen Fritzler joined them to give us 3 way action on a flop of Kd 2h Ts. The action wilted from then on as all 3 players checked before the blood got pumping again on the Ks turn. Roberto checked and Eugen bet 2200. Mateyboy called and Roberto check-raised to 5200. This was enough for both opponents to give up their claim on the pot and Roberto raked in the chips.

I believe he's a bit of a Greeny and won't travel far esp by plane because of his carbon footprint. He dyed his hair bright green when he finalled a WSOPE event years ago, presumably to advertise this very fact Kev.

I mentioned ISPT at the Green Car Park but they told me it was £30 for the day. I sure parked there! ok email nicola@dusktilldawnpoker.com and ask for one of the free spaces then. I thought people were just giving the name ISPT Where did you park Mark? On Wembley Park Drive - Just about here......

171 from yesterday 416 total with 381 paid blinds 800-1600 on resumption for midday tomorrow and the bubble and all that jazz Thank you very much for reading and interacting today. Feel for DTD with an overlay of this scale, despite their herculean logistical efforts (which succeeded) to put on a genuinely innovative event, which has been run pretty much flawlessly and been a huge success with all those who have played it. Goodnight Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: KarmaDope on June 01, 2013, 11:29:54 PM One final twitter update:

Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: stato_1 on June 01, 2013, 11:42:32 PM We've worked out that we are 80 metres above the pitch We reckon total trips per day to amount to 1800, up only So thats 5400 metres to day 4, when I think the tournament moves inside to the same level as us So in summary, we are each climbing Mount Chacaltaya in the Andes, Bolivia to be exact, over days 2a,2b and 3 Cool, but the calves are burning a bit (https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQHRikU0O2pleaDmJj7Cn2P6B16GQ0OWKPzdzvXh8yC9_TSj42TNA) Didnt somebody say they counted 90 steps between the pitch and the press room?

Fantastic effort nonetheless, wp to Rob, Simon, Nicola & team. Best of luck to all the blondes. Also best of luck to Dale Garrad?(not sure if he's still in), & James and Praz gogogo Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: paulhouk03 on June 02, 2013, 12:43:04 AM Tim Chung ?

No one could have done so much so quick to achieve what they did. I am on a friggin cruise ship in the Adriatic and so wanted to be there. :-)
Part of me thinks an event like this is a ' build" thing with it probably taking several years before it becomes a ' must attend' on the circuit.Whether that will ever happen is probably unlikely now I guess. Clashing with Vegas has not helped obviously. Good luck to the Tall One from Nottingham and all the other Blondes. Much love from Slovakia. Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: iangascoigne on June 02, 2013, 02:22:18 AM Christ I don't even know where I am. Much love from Slovenia. Free booze on the ship.
Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: ripple11 on June 02, 2013, 08:47:31 AM Gutted too for DTD.......given 6 months lead time, no doubt they would have got there with time to spare. Fantastic unique experience yesterday and,had a fun table mix, including Germans, French and a very loose South African :) Brilliant organisation of course....shame it wasn't to be for me, but the very best of luck to all blondes going back today.

I'd be amazed if yesterday's numbers hadn't been anticipated long in advance. Terrific shame but I'm sure, when the dust has settled, DTD will come out of this favourably. Title: Re: ISPT Wembley Day2b Post by: NobodyDiamond on June 02, 2013, 12:40:32 PM It is with some regret that I start this piece. It is Sunday 2nd June and poker may have climbed into its death bed in the UK. Tragically over the weekend DTD, have apparently, lost almost 600,000 Euros on the ISPT poker event. Two years in the planning “the ISPT” is a great idea but perhaps a little ambitious in its conception and the clash with the WSOP is very difficult.
I want to question the DTD losses 589,060€, none of my business I know, but how can they carry on making these sort of losses? With almost 250K towards paying for the event perhaps the ISPT losses will be reduced so they can carry on with further events? I think, despite the reduced turnout for the event, that London Wembley was the right choice for the kick off event. Perhaps when the final figures are analysed and the online returns dissected losses can be put more into perspective. There is no doubt that DTD is an incredibly brave organisation and 100% committed to poker in the UK, I for one will certainly be trying to support them even more through 2013 and beyond, they have rapidly become the true heart of poker in Europe. Watching the event live there is an amazing echo / atmosphere in the Igloo / tents. Tighty looks like he’s feeling the heat but getting on with an admirable job as usual.

Watching the event live there is an amazing echo / atmosphere in the Igloo / tents. Tighty looks like he’s feeling the heat but getting on with an admirable job as usual. DtD didn't have to get involved in this venture; they chose to get involved and they chose to embrace the risks that came with it: a never-before-tried stadium tournament with huge overheads, no major online site offering satellites, a clash with the start of the WSOP etc. Sorry if this sounds callous, but I can't feel too much sympathy for them. They knew what they were getting in to and they didn't have to go anywhere near it if they didn't want to. They obviously had deep enough pockets to be able to cover the losses if and when the tournament didn't reach it's guarantee. I do however wonder if this year's loss is part of a long term genius business plan where the tournament becomes an annual, must-play event for the biggest names and biggest field in world poker and where the ongoing annual profit for DtD eclipses this year's loss. |
