Love ya pokerpops x

john sadler going for his 2nd gp win?


tan luan le to win if its the person i am thinking about

Good luck today Caroline and JG.

Do we know how many Golden Chips are left please?


David Amos david3103

Mike Wright flushthemout

are the blonde interest

gl both.

Cards in the air!

Let the bad beats, suck outs and tears commence...


Who's your pick as today's winner?

Jon's on the case right now for the Golden Chip count.

I'm going to grab siome pics, particularly of a T shirt that may be of interest to the King on Bling, Herbie

Rooting for Mike "flushthemout" Wright.

id really like to see peter " the bandit " evans win , nice fella always chatty !!!! ps i know you said he was rude to a lady yesterday but i hope thats just a 1 off incident !!! :)

Hard to get an answer off players as to whether they have a Golden Chip in play or not, as obviously if players know then it completely effects the dynamics, since these players will now be playing the tournament like a satellite

Im fairly sure James Clarke has one in play
David Amos definitely does, as does Scott Garner
Fairly certain Jasmine Foster does too

David 3103

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HLuIpEL0HbQ/T50gIPax0lI/AAAAAAAAYnY/0rhTRXRW7XA/s720/004.JPG)

I played with Peter in Spain as he reminded me yesterday, and never had any problems with him myself, think he's good fun at the table.

Mind you , not by any stretch can I be classified as a typical woman at the table.

I didn't see the incident myself but I've had men tell me I should be at home ironing, not playing poker. Once.

thanks

I did GP4, I think, when Kelvin Mullis finalled with a Golden chip and the others didn't know. As I knew, but couldn't publicise, the dynamics were very interesting to watch and report on correctly

Should be a good day.

One time Simon Brown!

Lost our first player of the day - Greek Jack
Gets it in with Q10 vs 44
despite havign a Broadway draw and two overs, the river bricked out.
25th for €475

Next player out, in a 3.5million pot
Rich Milner gets it in with   Ad Ks - think it may have been a 4bet jam
Peter Evans snaps it off with  8c 8d
King on the flop, 8 on the turn eliminates Milner in 24th position

Advancing through the field quickly
Mark Lewis gets it in with  Ahrt Qh for about 825k
flushemout has  8c 8s, Lewis at risk
Board is  6c high, Lewis eliminated in 23rd

Most of the time when players exit I say a quick unlucky or whatever, never give it much of a second thought - it's poker - but can't help feeling for Richard Milner. He's waiting for his big bink and felt this was his moment: poker gods felt otherwise.

However, he must be content that he is the only player to have finished 199th and 72nd in the same comp, according to his Hendon Mob.



Richard Milner

Mo Fassil gets it all in preflop for 740K with As 3s, Peter Evans finds a call wit KQ.

Fassil vs Fossil

Flop runs out Q high  4c 9s Qc  Turn 5s and the Qs on the river to give Peter trips but Mo the nut flush - cue fist pumping.

Once Mo has calmed down he turns to Peter and says "unlucky, nice hand"

"Thank you" Peter says. Then a long pause and " Don't do it again"

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-BGWTpRj4WWQ/T50lrpOy3uI/AAAAAAAAYnk/0DbocCcZjuA/s720/007.JPG)

Apparently in the 88 hand with Mike "Flushemout" Wright, David 3103 passed Jacks..

Good to see the Blondes soft playing each other ;)

assil started the day on just 300k, the shortest stack
He's now up to a cushty 2mil, average just below 1.6mil

Jasmine Foster has come from Sheffield after satelliting in and seems to have pretty much folded her way into Day 3.

Her Golden Chip prominently beside her 12 bigs is there as a constant reminder to the other players that she isn't getting it in light when she eventually does ship.


If you had a Golden Chip would you have it on the table? Or if you DIDN'T have one, would you pretend you did?

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-NR6tw9-BNKk/T50n9rIMhCI/AAAAAAAAYno/d4T2SjvIMcM/s720/005.JPG)

Blinds up to 30k/60k, with the ante at 10k
I feel this could be a level where we lose a fair few, average currently at 25 big blinds but the size of the ante will surely entice some of the players into more regular blind steals

Robert Sampson out in 22nd, get it in with KJ vs AQ, finds no help.

Dan Oneill raises to 190K UTG, BB is now 60K.

Folds round to Everton Downer who shoves his 405K allin whic is obviously snap called by Dan olding AK.

Everton has 2s 9s

I don't need to tell you he hit his duece while Dan bricked the lot.

Everton wins. Not two words you see together very often.

Scott Garner modeling a quiet little number.

Herbie I have the name of his tailor for you.




(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Biu1hfQN74o/T50qZF7p0vI/AAAAAAAAYn4/mweAecM5RRw/s720/008.JPG)

21 players marching on, half an hour left on level 29 with the blinds at 30/60K, ante 10K.

Everton Downer also has a Golden Chip on the table, that wasn't on display earlier.

Easy in hindsight, but there you go. Mark cancelled his football to play, would be a shame to send him home too early

i've taken to showing a J when they fold to my raise or 3bet now :-)

Peter Evans making the action at Table 11
However he ends up folding a majority of the time
Opens vs Garner, Garner 3bets promting a fold, Garner shows AA
Mo Fassil does the same vs him, 3bet jams for 2mil
Evans folds showing KQ, Fassil shows QQ

Jon giving me a lowdown on a few locals..

"He's won a GP before.. that guy is a local... this one mainly plays small comps ... Oh yeah and that guy? Yeah he's a pretty bad fish, even X won't stake him anymore, and he stakes anyone"

No guesses please! It's all good for the game right?

Parry all in with AA, for about 1.6mil
Jamie Hallam calls, who has him covered by all of 60k
Aces hold, double for Parry who also has a Golden Chip in play
Hallam as good as on the rail with 1bb

Would love David Amos to win this. Can you get me a pic of Mark Lewis because "Bigtadger" on here is mark Lewis of hull who I know played this but am pretty sure he will have gone out in level 2 or 3 with tptk. This has to be another Mark Lewis

(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r631/smashedagain/3c071164.jpg)

Hieu Van Le out in 21st

Following hand Aaron Adams eliminates Hallam
Hallam finishes 20th for €475

Should point out Hieu didn't actually show up today.

Hope he didn't think it was a 2pm start.

Sorry Herbie but I can't find Mark Lewis since his exit. I've been round the whole rail asking "Do you know where Big Tadger is?" but no one seems able to help.

Good luck Dave!!!!! Get it done.

From what I have seen there have been some huge opens
at 30k/60k blind v blind Aaron Adams makes it 230k
Mo Irvani ships for 900k
Adams folds

Yet to see Jasmine Foster play a hand today
down to 350k, about to go through the blinds

Mo Fassil makes it 170k
Foster shoves for 420k
Fassil says "I think I'm priced in" playing a 2.5mil stack
"I'll let this one go" and shows  4d, folding to a 7 big blind shove after opening

Peter Evans is proving old school still beats pre schoolers, whether through sheer tenacity, luck or the ambivalence of simply not giving a toss.

He's raising much more than he's folding, and with a lengthy Hendon Mob dating back to B.C, it's clear he does know what he's doing.

He's not bantering so much today, but I think it may be a little early in the day for him just yet. Give him time to shake off the hangover and I think he'll soon liven up.


(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZJmCDYYkYGU/T50xv-pUhuI/AAAAAAAAYoE/UcDKinnjOJ4/s720/009.JPG)


Post above from Jon will explain Peter's incredulous expression.

The final will be live streamed Caroline?

Link when you have it nearer the time please!

Whole table is stunned at Fassil's fold to Jasmine's shove from the SB, for a total of five bigs, after Fassil had already put 2 BBs in.

Surely he has to call there, regardless of what two cards he had?

flushemout told me earlier that he hasn't been back to DTD since a horrible beat vs Chinese Frankie with KJ in the 300 DS 2 years ago, and tells me he hasnt played the hand since
I stand behind him to see a pot unopened, folds round to him in the cutoff as he takes a sneaky peek at his cards...  Kc Js
Reluctantly raises, he gets it through and breaths a heavy sigh of relief

3x fold to 7bb shove getting 3:1, should be calling with this  7h 2s

sorry not read all post will final be streamed???

It will be up as soon as it's sorted this end.

Don't forget we will be reporting on a delay so no spoilers from Blondes please!!

Fireworks on a  Qs Qd Ts flop
Amos gets it in with  Js 9s
Everton Downer with  Qc Jh
 6s 5s on turn and river,
Everton out in 19th position.

They misheard you Caroline ,they thought u were asking "who's got a big tadger here "

Since Everton's exit we are breaking table 11, so now down to 18 players on two tables.

I can tell you now - NINE of these players have Golden Chips.

So half the field have a Golden Chip, however, only TWO players have them on display on the table.


(I can't disclose who has them if not on display, sorry)

Get your own jokes pls.

Tan Luan Le doubles to 1.9mil
gets it in with  Ad Ks against the  Aspades Qd of Aaron Adams
AK holds

Mo Fassill raises in the hijack, folds round to Scott Garner in the BB who 3 bets him.

Mo thinks for a while and asks "will you show if i fold" Scott says nothing, but Mo folds anyway.

Scott spreads the two cards out and says pick one.

Mo points and Scott flips over an Ace.

David Amos says "Aw I wanted to pick the other one" so Scott laughingly obliges, and shows another ace.

The original raiser in this hand was Mo Shoahebe, who had pocket fives, which he (reluctantly) folded.

The five on the river to give David his flush of course gave Mo the boat, so he now thinks it was a really bad fold.


I'm amazed he got away at all as he is opening for around 400K each time, with the blinds at 40/80K.

Jamie Hallam gets it in with  Ac 8c
James Clarke calls with  7c 7d
7's hold
Jamie Hallam 18th for €674
Hallam did not have a Golden Chip, still 9 out of 17 players have one in play.

Sadler UTG to 180k
Perry in the big blind to 500k
Sadler rejams for...alot
Perry also has... alot
Perry tank folds  Jd Jh face up
Sadler shows  Ahrt Kd

Big big pot on Table 12.

Mo Fassill limps UTG, folds to Simon Brown who announces all in.

He puts his chips over the line and then puts his head down on the table, either to prevent himself giving off a read, or maybe he was just tired.

Scott Garner next to him dwells for ages, and eventually makes a flat call.

Mike Wright then thinks and folds, followed by an immediate cry of "ALL IN" by David Burghard, who shoves his stack in, stands up smiling like the Cheshire Cat on Ecstacy and throws his cards into the middle face up - K K.

Immediate shouts of WTF etc as Mo still has to act, as does Scott, whho only flatted the original allin of 845K by Simon.

Mo folds and says Thanks for showing man, you saved my life, Simon looks distraught and says "I can't beat that" and everyone looks to Scott to see what he wants to do.

Scott says "Fold" Couple of people ask how he can fold when he has so much already invested in the pot and he says "Because I'm behind" and shows pocket tens.

Simon turns over As Qs. Railers suddenly start a chorus of "Ace Ace Ace", so I think it's safe to say Simon has his family a\nd friends here today.

Flop runs out

8d 6h 4s

9d

ACE!

Simon trebles up!! David is felted.

17 players left on two tables, 9 still holding Golden Chips.

Break time now, next level is Level 31, when the blinds will be 50K/100K running ante of 10K.

average stack is a mere two million.


Allin now on last hand - this information is subject to change...

gogogogogogogogogogogogogogo

NOpe - no change.

Jasmine got it all in with Ad Qc against Mo Irvani;s Ac Jh, looking good until the flop ran out with five spades and they chopped it back up.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, gogogo

I just had to break some bad news to David Amos during the break.

We were discussing Mo's fold for less than 3 bigs after Jasmine shoved earlier, and David says

"He was UTG - he's never raising there without a big hand"



Sorry David - UTG is this season's new black. Anyone under 40 is only ever raising light UTG.


He still doesn't believe me - despite Mo showing a four and folding.

Any chip counts please

Berghardt all in for 310k with  Qh 9h
called by Amos with  Qs Th
 Qc Tc on the flop, Berghardt out in 17th place for €674
David had a Golden Chip, meaning 8 of our 16 players have one

David Amos for the win - Go pokerpops :)

How many spots pay the golden chip ?

Dale Perry raises, Jasmin ships in 540K and Dale reluctantly makes the call with 33.

Jasmine has A K

Dale's railer shouts "Come on the threes - hooooold"

King first card out.


Jasmine doubles up, still 8 Golden Chips in play from 16 players.

Top eight places qualify for the GC promotion.

So theoretically, Rob could be forking out EIGHT packages by the end of today.

No chip counts as yet, as soon as they are done they will be up on the DTD site, then pasted on here.

don't give away all our secrets :(

Mr Le UTG limps
Aaron Adams makes it 300k, playing 725k total
Peter Evans makes it 700k, Le folds
Adams tank. surely his plan was to raise fold out of his 7 bb stack?
finally calls
Adams -  Aspades Jh.
Evans -  9h 9s
9's hold, Adams 16th for €674

Boom, another one bites the dust.

Mo Shoahebe raises 300K with 900K in total.

Mo Fassill announces allin, but Simon in seat 5 asks for a count.

Simon eventually passes and MoSho can't call fast enough, flipping over KK, only for his shoulders to suddenly droop as Fassill flips over A A.

No internet beats and it's Mo Money for Mo Fassil, and No Mo Money for Mo Sho, who gets e674 for 15t place.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-X4n0qtcelTo/T51E2rB0HII/AAAAAAAAYoQ/yNtGeSPZ4_4/s720/010.JPG)



Aces beat Kings.


Who'd a thunk it.

Daniel Oneill ships for 635k
Michael Wright tanks, then says "lets go" and calls
Blinds fold
Oneill -  Ahrt Kh
Wright -  Aspades Tc
"King on the flop please" says Oneill
far from it  Td on the flop
Broadway draw on the turn, no good for Oneill
Oneill 14th for €674

Oneill had a Golden Chip, meaning 6 out of the 13 players remaining have one

Aaron had a Golden Chip, which he now plans to use as a card protector
.

Mo Sho had no Golden Chip but isn't planning on playing for a while anyway.

Five Golden Chips left in play


Thirteen players left in.

Someone is definitely going to win a package, no matter what, with the top 8 spots all qualifying.

ten mins left at this level, next one is level 32 blinds 60/120K ante 20K.

Av Stack 2,682,692.

Jasmine Foster shoves for 1.2mil with  Ac Ts
Big blind of John Sadler snaps her arm off with  Ad Kh
before cards are felted she knows shes in trouble
AK holds, Foster out in 13th for €944
Also had a Golden Chip, meaning 5 out of 12 players still have one in play

Mr Le gets it in with   Aspades Qc
Raggy with  5d 5h
Plenty of outs on the  4s 2s 6s
Brick Brick
Tan Luan Le 12th for €944
Mr Le didn't have a Golden Chip, so 5 out of 11 players have a Golden Chip.
At least 2 players will be winning a package.

This is almost as exciting as listening with a glass to the wall when sharing adjoining hotel rooms. ;)

Jack Fairman gets it all in first to act.

Folds round to Mo Fassill who thinks for a while and eventually shows Jack Q J off.

Jack says "It's a good hand" with just the faintest tinge of sarcasm and folds his cards face down. I don't think he would have been too upset by a call there.

Remember in Ireland where we only found out we were in adjoining rooms at the end of the weekend - is there someting you are trying to tell me?

Come on big brv take it down

Obviously as an impartial updater I can't possibly comment.

But, yeah, rooting for him and David Amos in a totally impartial way.

You never let me down :)

David n Wrighty both got golden chips?

Wow
raise from Amos, Fassil jams.
S. Brown tank folds (JJ)
Garner shoves with  Kc Kh
flushemout tank folds (QQ)
Amos calls with  Ahrt Aspades
Fassil has  9h 9d
Jack on the flop. Brown shouts profanities
Q on the turn. flushemout shouts profanities.
River is a Q
Aces hold in a huge pot.

Send u a pm herbie

Mike Wright is sick as a dog after folding Queens there.

He knows he had nothing in the pot but to see he would have had quads and taken three players out isn't the best reward for a good fold pre.


Players now having a short break while we set up the final table.


Seating position will be posted as soon as we have them.

what time does the live stream start please

This is Simon Brown's very first final table outside of the metropolis that is Stoke.

He is currently sat in front of me updating his FB with his five railbirds even railing him doing that.

Snippets of conversation include "You can open fold AK there/Anyone snap folds JJ there/It's a window/man, what a douche"

Quite impressed his friends have travelled from the states just to support him.

live chat not working....unless i'm banned again

Woooooohooooo!!!!! Do it for the massive Dave Amos!!!!!!!

Massive chuffy on here :-) x

What did he FT in Stoke Caz, and where is he from?

Great updates BTW.

Good luck to flushthemout, david3103 and Pete the lugubrious Bandit

Live poker confirmed rigged

glglgl Simon Brown

Hi Kev

Apparently you will know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16) or failing that..

Ashley looks like Justin Bieber, Duanne is also here and so is Joey Riobinson who is at great opains to point out to me he is actually from Keele, not Stoke.

They all know you ofc and naturally think you are a legend.

It would of been small stuff at Grosvenor, he deals (or used to deal, dunno if he still does) at Genting

Ha ha legend in my own lunchtime. I live in Newcastle (although  Stokie born) Keele is the next village. Ok now I'm rooting for Mike and Simon HU. Lol at Ash = Beiber.

All the best to Dave Amos (PokerPops) for the FT. gl and TID :)

Final Table now taking their seats.

Updates will run concurrently with the live feed delay.

Four lucky Golden Chip winners will be guaranteed a 6K family package for St Kitts Caribbean Promotion: Peter Evans has already told me he needs to take someone with him, and suggests us oldies should stick together. Sigh.

saddler just gone on live stream if it helps caroline

Technology defeats me.


Spent twenty minutes trying to "fix" my live feed here at the table, until Simon pointed out the live feed is blocked in the club.

That's why I can't see it then.

So we're on a ten minute delay which hopefully there won't be many spoilers on here for those of you watching updates and the live stream. I can't promise though as I don't wear a watch.

Simon asked if I wanted to do live commentary with him - I was sorely tempted but felt it unfair to abandon you lot and leave you without me :D

Thanks J

I believe he got his short stack in wit 10 hig, called by the bandit with Ace 9, Ace first card out and Blazing Saddler to the cash desk.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_s440RiiMhzI/TJkL1wmbsUI/AAAAAAAAFIs/U7ydWHztdrg/s1600/blazingSaddles.jpg)

DD shout out to Dale & David, (although neither will look good in speedos)

you're looking good on the live stream caroline.

Stokie poker players thought for ages the term "new breed" was actually  "In-breed" and took it as a literal instruction.


(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kMn2cHwOKDI/T51gZwmTPjI/AAAAAAAAYoc/s5cuzuite3M/s720/016.JPG)

Quite glad I can't see it. Where do I need to move my computer to so I'm out of shot?

(Oh and don't say "your house")

In Simon's defense he's not actually from Stoke, he's just unfortunate enough to have to live near it while at uni

one of the shots has you and the dtd marketing table in shot.

I only noticed the Grand Prix poster.  ;D ;D ;D

(http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq267/ppokerfan/80ad7b77.jpg)

you'd have noticed caroline in a bikini too :)

lol@ pokerfan

Thanks for the updates Caroline , my live feed won't work so fk it ,gukpt feed was workin they was 3 handed with Albert still in it

Any chance someone can do something about the volume on the live feed

raggy and brown hand just played

sound is much better for me with headphones

I'm told it's a seven minute delay now.. maybe one of you will kindly confirm after this post, apologies in advance if the delay is in fact longer and I wreck your viewing!

Dale makes it 500K UTG, Raggy can't resist making up his 160K BB to see the flop of Q 2 8.

Both players check, a turn of 9s encourages Raggy to make a tester bet of 550k, which encouraged dale to whack it up another 145K.

Raggy backs off, but then takes Dale's BB next hand.


Shortly afterwards, Simon shoves all in on the cutoff, snap call by raggy.

Simon has A K, Raggy has JJ

Flop is 8 8 8

Simon calls for another 8 at least. Clearly not listening, the dealer instead gives Raggy a Jack. Simon out in 7th place, taking home e2359.

Good looks like my timings are right, thank you

Raggy da man!

Raises on the cut off to 550K, called by Dale on button and then David Amos takes it up to one million to play.

Raggy flats.

Seven high board, Amos checks, Raggy goes all in, after Amos folds he shows pocket tens.

Raggy on nearly 11 Million.

We've lost Mike Wright, Blonde's Flushemout!

Blinds on Blind and Blonde on Blonde, David Amos raises in the SB to 380K. Mike elects to flat.

Jack high flop and Dave "always has it" Amos checks to Mike who bets out.

David 3 bets and Mike is left wit two options: fold or all in.

Folding is for the fainthearted says Mike and reshoves all in to be snapped off by David holding J Q for top pair on the flop of J 5 7

Mike is in poor shape for improvment holding 10 5 for bottom pair.

Q on the turn and a 2 on the river, Mike Wright goes home in 6th place.

We've still got one Blonde in - David Amos wit about 9.3Million of the chips in place.

Raggy now has well over 12M and Peter Evans has 5.2M.

Still to play for

1   21,913

2   12,406

3   7,753

4   5,394

5   4,382



Jack is the only player left out of the five remaining players who won't be going to St Kitts on a Golden Chip promotion.

He will be off to St Ives on a National Express promotion instead.

Go Raggy and David :)

just started 15 min break mate

glglgl David Amos

Players back in two minutes.

Peter makes it 600K, 3xBB.

Jack Fairman goes all in from the SB for 1.7M total.

Peter Evans makes the call with A 10 but bricks out against Jack's pocket sevens, and Jack is back with a stack.

Still a small stack admittedly, with less than the average of nearly 7million, but with at least e4382 coming his way, he's good for St Ives still.

WHO IS IN  the booth now. sounds like jonathon +1

David opens for 475K on the button, Don't know wat he's hoping for against Peter and Raggy in the blinds, but if he was hoping for two flat callers, he got it.

Flop comes 10d 3d 9s.

Peter annouces allin, followed by two fairly rapid folds and Pete shows the 8s.

No idea as can't see it from here, and can't access live feed myself as blocked in club, might be Jon as he's finished updating now for the day.

Just caught Peter Evans buffing himself up for St Kitts.

Dale "ner ner I have a Golden Chip" Parry with Jack "Not fair" Fairman

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2oYFphQvnFo/T51xdDyqJ6I/AAAAAAAAYo0/oTfKK-Xy25w/s720/018.JPG)

you should have gone in there and let him update here. whoever they are they are dull as dishwater. just shows what a good job Simon, Alex and Tighty do

Dale raises 500K

Jack decides he's had enough of everyone else talking about the Caribbean and says Allin.

David Amos looks like he's thinking about it, but folds, back round to Dale who shakes his head and says

"Yours is better than mine", and folds an ace face up.


Peter Evans laughs and says how do you know till you call?

Is that ur boyfriend Caroline?
Lol

Five players left still, from 2325 starters.

No mean feat.

Blinds are a whopping 100/200K, 30K ante.

ASv stack just 7Million.

David Amos has some game for an old bloke... trouble is Peter is still so young at heart he's outplaying him like Jake Cody vs yer nan.

get yourself in the commentry booth frankie

No Chippyman.

This is the object of my desires.


(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-nHpa7fTMXWk/T2SfQc8snHI/AAAAAAAAYo8/HrC5_4FOnJM/s720/008.JPG)

Peter makes it an innocent little min raise UTG of 400K.

David makes it 1.4million in the BB, obviously remembering my tip that UTG is now the new button.

However he forgot, I did say "under 40s" only. Big Mistake - Peter lashes all his chips over the line


David folds and says "Well I had to ask didn't I"


He certainly got his answer!

At least he's having a go. I will be asking a valet to put a mirror under Dale & Jack's noses shortly to check they are both still breathing.

I knew that Chinese guy.
Very nice and good player! Ur opinion?

Peter Evans has departed in 5th place with e4,382 plus a £6K Caribbean package courtesy of DTD Golden Chip promotion.

He raised with pocket kings and bet them on every street, keeping James "Raggy" Clarke chasing alonside him with a heart flush draw.

River was a third King for Pete the Bandit, giving him a set and zero chance of getting away from it, but was unfortunately also the King of hearts for raggy.

Flush draw delivers and Peter Evans is off to get into his Speedos for the beach.

Dale has 1.9M, Jack has 1.8M, David has 4.4M

Raggy has the world.

Haven't played wit him - yet - so can't possibly comment.

chippyman very handsome man

Are these guys in the comentary actually watching the screen? They have the wrong players betting and folding ffs. So tilting.

Raggy already whacked it up another notch, raising pretty much every hand, wether pre or on the flop

I've now switched it off tbh

Geo

We lose Dale Perry, finally finds a hand in the form of A 10 and gets it all in on the button, but his stack is neglible and so David Amos makes the call in the BB with K8.

Flop is King high, Dale doesn't improve and he takes home £5,394 for fourth place plus his £6K St Kitts package.

one is Jonathon so he does a good job updating. not sure who the other one is thought it may have been deadman but he would not be this bad

I'll speak to Simon and ask him to get back in there.

so its not over in the next 15 mins?

Give me a couple of minutes.. well 4 to be precise before i answer that ;)

And we're Heads Up!

Jack Fairman can fight the long fight no more, he finally gets it in with Raggy, Raggy has K 7 soooted and Jack has 7 5 soooted

Flop runs out giving Jack a little hope in the form of an open ender, 6 2 8, followed by another 6 then a cruel 10 dashing his dream.

He does however take home e7,753 for third place.

Short break now while nine members of staff count raggy's stack.

Cmon Dave!!! get it done... Raggy is a legend but Dave has to win this! 27>7m... cmon!!!

whats with being dressed in black? the boots are cool but you've laddered your tights at the back

I believe the updaters were GP winner Tommy Bingham and Jon but the screen was laggy, hence incorrect info etc.

Hopefully all will be sorted once we go back, bear with us.

I was about to check then lol, but realised you are probably waiting for me to lift my skirt up forgetting im on the feed!

Soooooooooooo chuffed for Dave... did I say I have a chuffy on? ? ? ? Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's zoomed in and ready. ;D

This needs way more love IMO.

LOL you mentioned this once. However every time you say Chuffy for some reason and I think of Tufty the squirrell in a bad mood??

In about 14 minutes you may see me on the live feed loling - a lot

Players back, heads up for rollzz

27 million vs 7 million - let's do this!

:)

LOL.... ok... just for you..... GOOOOOOOOOO Dave!!!!

Ive been doing the live commentary for the past 15 minutes, but won't take offence if it was rubbish, enjoyed myself anyway.

Made Simon drop his headphones with a crack about licking the micropone, succesfull mission all round IMO.

it was fun. thanks for all the work you did this weekend wp

Good luck to Dave Raggy Clarke.Top bloke.

Well done both. Nice bonus in the Caribbean too.

Great updates Caroline and not too shabby in the commentary box.

Another record breaker from the Zenith of the poker world. WP DTD.

David made a valiant effort to take the lead, getting Raggy to put down the best hand on at least one occasion HU but it was destined to end as soon as he found AJ in his BB - after Raggy unearths AA.

Of course David got it all in - as you would - but was drawing dead after a raggy paired flop and turn.

David Amos, runner up and worthy adversary, popular Blonde member suddenly more popular with nipping railers, as is the norm.


(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-B-6JXrUw7ec/T52IIjAL6eI/AAAAAAAAYpM/JzO7F9eW2SM/s720/021.JPG)

Well it's all over here, admittedly we didn't see many outstanding displays of seven bet folding, no teenagers level themselves so much they end up planking, but we saw some solid ABC poker alonside some XYZ and of course, WTF poker.

Wp to David and Raggy ain't a bad guy to finish 2nd too.
Appologise to Tommy BingHam as I may have been a bit harsh on him and Jon. It's obv a hard job in the booth and they should be encouraged more.

Many thanks and well done again Caroline.

Geo

well went to play a bit of cash on the friday, and thought sod it will give the Grand Prix a bash, really enjoyed it Dave and Jimbob defo my prediction for Hu, such a great guy Dave and a wonderfull supported Daughter, dam i should have played the queens!!! and i let JimBob off on the Friday with dem Aces, well done Caroline and Johnathon, might get a pass to Edingbrugh if not see ya at Stoke for the Gps, x

Thanks to all for their support and encouragement.

It's no exaggeration to say that my, game has been improved immeasurably by being here.

James was an animal on the final table and I struggled to cope with him. I'll be watching the final table with interest and some trepidation about certain spots.

Final hand was just one of those things, happier to lose AJ<AA than a lot of other ways.

Again, thanks all.

Get that sig updated.

Nice result you 2 well done

would quite like some honest pointers tbf on how to handle it in the booth in case I get the chance to commentate in the future
All abuse/constructive criticism will be taken on board though ;)

Wp Mr Clarke, much deserved.

Done :)

Reg'd for the £15 and am chilling on an above average stack, would be more but just hero caled and got it wrong... :(

true grinder

Very well done to David. True gent. Hope you enjoy the Caribbean. Not jealous at all :).

Dedication above and beyond the call of duty, showing considerable "love for the game".

Many congratulations on a great performance David.

Top work as per usual by Ms. Mellencamp too whose one-liners never fail to make me chuckle. xx

Lovely results and a great added bonus guys congrats!!

A word for Mike 'flushthemout' Wright.
He suffered the consequence of making a fold that few players in that field could have made with stoicism and without rancour. He was drawn in the seat next to me at the FT and could so easily have resented my presence there but was an utter gent throughout the last hour.
He was, by some distance, the toughest opponent I had on Table 12. No disrespect intended for the others there, but Mike was so much harder to play against.
He wasn't the only one to be around to say well done, but he was there.

Top bloke - if karma is effective then he'll crush the £150 at Stoke this weekend. GL Mike, I look forward to tangling with you again

ty Dave, nice to play with a true gent, enjoy November mate u deserve it
