Thank you very much :D


I'm here but somewhere along the way I lost the H button off my laptop. It now takes extra special effort to type the letter "h" so if people can suggest alternative words for "Hero call" "Heads up" and various other poker related terms that use the letter h, I would appreciate it. Also looking for an alternative word for "the".

You ave no idea ow long tis post took to type witout battering te "" button...bloody ell.

Good luck to my mate Paul Collins who is down from Bristol
Also Dan ward + Colin young and Any other blondes

Just keep it down Sarrf.  Eds Up, Ero Call, just poppin into Arrods etc..... 

TY Heirrabs ;)

First elimination I've seen today...
In a 3bet pot, we are 3 handed to a flop of  Jd 8c 2d
Dan Ward checks, Rich Burton bets 11k. Elliot Hayes makes it 30k, Dan Ward jams for 187k.
Burton gets out the way, Hayes doesn't seem keen on folding for his tournament life, and calls.
Ward -  Ad Qd
Hayes -  Kc Kd
Brick brick, Dan Ward is out

Paul Romain asked me to get a pic before he went out.

Now when people give themselves a rubdown, to me that's an open invitation, so I stood back from the table and asked him to move his big chips to the front...

I've never before seen Paul lost for words - his facebook updates fill my timeline - but for once I think I managed it. Hopefully this hasn't tilted him in any way, that would just be harsh.  Anyway, I'll go back for another photo shortly after he stops crying.

We also have Maria D here today, Greek Jack, Shola, Mrs Girgy, Johnny Z, Pete Wrigglsworth, Colin Young and more, i have got pics of them all but waiting on Tighty to answer his phone so he can give me the Blonde login for Picasa to download them! If anyone else knows it, please share with me via PM

Good bok for Dan Ward from you.

Anyone else you want out?

Paul Collins text me at 2:08
With the words out !

Cancel all good luck from me from now on

1st hand At table won a 50k pot, 2nd hand At table lost a 110K pot to Sadler. Trying to borrow a fold pre button..

Alan Armitage has also gone, had AA first hand and got no callers, then flops top two pairs with K Q on a KQ 8 board, wit two diamonds, manages to get it all with Rhyss Munnasser holding Jd 9d who gets there for his J high flush on the river.

I didn't see the hand so after Alan told me his beat I went to check on his opponent's name, asking "who took Alan out?" and the reply from Chippie Lester was "Really, Alan took himself out", so please accept my report as heresay rather than gospel.

Opened QQ mid position and called 48000 shove, he has AJ

Board runs out AJKK.........

Q

Up to c140k

We will be playing till midnight tonight I am informed, though not by Alan Armitage, so I think it's reliable.

15 levels should be played out, but DTD are giving themselves a little leeway depending on how many players we lose. Ideally we should be down to 3/4 tables by the end of play.

Any more than that and we will be randomly selecting names to take flips for their tournament life.

Currently 5 mins left of level 16, there will be a short break at the end of level 17. Playing through to the end of level 30.

I think that's wise.

Blinds now up to 2k/4k/500, average at 112k with 309 remaining.
Just 75 exits away from breaking into the money.

One of the chipleaders coming into today has just took a 100k hit
Ian Roberts bets, then calls a 100k shove with  Ac 7s on a  6d 6h 5s 7c board
Adrian Gate has  5c 5d
River is  4s, Gate up to about 215k.

Can i have my photo pleae lol 23/7

Sorry, I'm still waiting on Tighty for the log in details for our photo server, I'll come and take it but can't put it up till he answers his phone :(

Any other mods on here have the log in details for Piccaso please???

Good news in camp Demitriou
started the day on 80k, now up to 220k
Picked up a number of pots, then 4bet jammed against Elliot Hayes with  Ahrt Ks.
Hayes called off with  Ad Qd who apparently was in the same spot against her on Thursday but folded that time, AK held up.

I walk over to see Liam Batey's 70k stack get counted for a double up, with  Jd Td being shown against  Kc Kh, getting there with runner runner flush
"get it in pre and get there?" I ask, he quickly nods his head with a cheeky little smile
He got the double from Jehan Zaib who still has a healthy stack having come into today as one of the chipleaders, Batey who recently ran deep in the UKIPT here in Nottingham up to 150k

Ian Bosley now out, small blind vs big blind for 120k he has 77 against AQ
Ace first card out, he is now waiting for Welsh loud mouth Wayne Thomas to bust befire heading home

Tan Luan Le - Mr Le  to his mates - final tabled last time I did the updates here.

He's currently on about 150K after taking a small pot down on the flopof 3s 4s 5c wit 4c 5s in his hand.

His Ipad is currently logged on to a site called Viethamvui.us, where he is watching a fascinating film showing various large fish being gutted and filleted. Other people choose motivational tunes, Mr Lee goes for fish and large machetes.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Anthony Fox shoves all in for 53K.

Big Blind Wayne Jackson dwells for ages and sigh folds Jd 10d, dramatically flipping in the air and across the table.

Tony Fox shrugs and flips over the 10s.

Tony then says to me it would be nice if he could be blogged actually winning a hand - Tony.. that was your one time.

hi can i get a couple of photos of matthew evans table 32 seat 9  and also max roberts table 34 seat 3 please :)

sorry matthew evans table 31 seat 9 and max 34-3  !!!! doh !

Glad to see everyone is reading previous updates... I can't log in to our photo software as yet.. waiting on Tighty and then all pics will go up, very sorry :(

Players are now on a 20 minute break
251 remaining, getting very close to the bubble now as 234 cash
blinds are 2,500/5,000 when we return with average at 139k.

Out :-(

Laura Austin, short stack since she sat down, gets her 37K in wiht pocket 8s, after a raise by Scott Garner on her right.

Another player then goes all in, and Laura mistakenly thinks all three players are allin and turns her 8 8 over.

Scott Garner hasn't yet made his mind up, but on seeing Laura's medium pair, he makes the call with pocket tens. Player three (sorry don't have name) has them both crushed pre with A A, but this is real life poker, not the internet, and of course and 8 comes on the flop giving Laura hope, only to be cruelly dashed by a 10 on the river.


This would never happen online.

thanx !!!

Unlucky :(

However, every cloud and all that.. I still have a lovely photo of you with chips which will go up as soon as possible.

Meh down to 100 again. Kings in shit shape against AK aip when an ace hits the flop.

Players now back in action
from what I can see chipleader is Algernon Buchanon, a DTD regular better known as Rasta
chilling on a cool 374k

Shove or fold mode. Bubbleboy 1 time.

Tabraiz Shabhir has been unusually quiet today
Just saw him get his final 35k in, on what has been a painful day for him with  Jh Qd
eliminated by  Aspades 5s, Tab continuing to roll his eyes


we are now hand for hand

Colin Young.

There are so many inappropriate jokes I want to make about his picture here, ranging from "Vinegar strokes" face to possible racist comments, so I'm gonna leave it. Feel free to caption yourself ;)

Not far off today, I'm wearing a brown dress and do look giraffe  gazelle like...

I think you'll find my hairdresser doesn't do that shade of brown hair though.

Out. Bvb. Raise  Tc Jc Bb calls. Flop  9c Qc 4s, I bet, he raise, I jam, he calls.. He shows Q7. Turn 7 river Q think that's my 4th open ended sfd in a row Ive got the money in on flop and bricked.

Gl remaining blondes.

Maria D (Chili). Never let it be said her conversation is less than scintillating, the guy next to her simply had a hard night that's all

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-uHi-HHMN4QQ/T5wFAcNAb_I/AAAAAAAAYjc/NZIhQRqZXZE/s720/010.JPG)

Don't tell anyone, but we're not actually in the money yet, despite Jon thinking we were on the bubble.


236 players left, 234 get paid.

Jon is still walking round the card room looking for the player who went out 238th, as he still thinks that's the bubble.


Shall I tell him or not?

TD just put him out of his misery, announcing players were hand for hand. A puzzled looking Jon bobs back to the update desk and looks up at the tournament screen, a wave of comprehension dawning as he sees we are actually paying 234 players..


One to go and everyone is guaranteed a min cash at least.

One for you Girgy...

Gladiator!!

No, not Russell Crowe unfortunately, but Warrington's top man, Mike Ahearne.

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ztYMpUAJfho/T5wHFEnpAgI/AAAAAAAAYjs/YUZpdDZUMLs/s720/009.JPG)

We are now in the money!
Ian Speak decides he wants to get 55k in with  Kc 5d
Unlucky for him Michael Wright finds  Ad Ks and eliminates him

Speak the bubble boy in 235th.

a min cash is a whopping 75 Euros by the way...

As many players entered at least twice, there's still a way to go before a profit.

Wii. Just doubled up, now on 235k. Bit more comfortable. On active table tho.

Good luck to my buddies Joey Johal, Paul Barradell and Gaz suffolk  :)up

update on Craig Newton please

pic wud be great but bet ya cant get a smiling one

What do I win?

More importantly - what did I say to him to make him smile??

Anyone with either player on their friend's list will appreciate just how amusing that post is.

what happens if more than 1 person with a golden chip gets to final? all get packages?

lol happy crack !!!! :)

update on kenneth stokes please?

A fella has just pointed out a lady and told me she came all the way from San Jose to play this tournament.

I asked him why and he admitted she actually came to see him. Personally I would also have chosen the poker rather than the pokee.


She seems happy enough with all options though.


(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Zu72cA96kGM/T5wQLCeKNJI/AAAAAAAAYkc/agYOuANYLtk/s720/018.JPG)

yep, it is possible for 8 packages to be given away if all players have their Golden Chip in play

Enjoying the updates. 

Updates and pics  if you can for Gordon McGregor and Colin Wilson please.

Ghost of Christmas Present, Ken Stokes with about 200K

How's Mo Dagia aka Chippie getting on? If he still has pics get a pic pls Caroline. It's like a solar eclipse- doesn't happen too often

Gordon McGregor out in 226 place - that's not a chip count, it is a finishing position.


Colin Wilson on 390K.

Snapped him literally getting out of his chair for the break. He said to thank you George, for asking: I haven't told him good luck messages on here usually result in instant elimination.


(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JGh3X9Ehnuw/T5wUw7e61zI/AAAAAAAAYk0/ojYCj2Rezgs/s720/021.JPG)

can this be confirmed has max roberts ( 34-3) got 500k in chips, if so is he one of the chip leaders with this large stack ?

Six minutes before players resume their seats.

169 players still left in, on 20 tables, as we enter level 20. Blinds will be 4K/8K ante 1K.

Where did you see this? I'll go and check now, just wondering if I wrote it as it has the potential to be made up if so.

Players are now back in action
Me and Caroline have our fingers crossed hoping the player named "Sohrab Tavakkolee Tazehabadi" doesn't get involved in too many pots from here on in

one of my other friends whos still in said he rivered a flush when the other guy was holding trip3s , maybe there just bull s @#'~ tting!  i hope not :)

What a complete legend. Was sat on his table Tuesday, had no idea until now. Thought I recognised him but gladiators would have been my last pick lol.

The guy is an absolute monster

Adam M has just introduced himself, he currently has 150K.

I can confirm Max Roberts has about 520K which certainly makes him one of the big - if not the biggest - stack.


Mr Le is fuming after being bluffed earlier by Phil Ashton.

Mr Le raised with AQ and was 3 bet by Phil holding.. K 7.

On a flop of A J J Mr Lee bet out and then called a min raise by Ashton, Mr Le checked the 10 turn for Ashton to go all in. Mr Le said he felt he didnt have the Jack but eventually folded, for Ashton to table his king high to Mr Le's disgust.

As Mr Le was telling me the tale, Phil Ashton came back to the table and said "You're not still going on about that are you? It wasn't even King 7, it was King 3!!"


(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-a_Z8kiU5-00/T5waawydAiI/AAAAAAAAYlE/XPWgS_yhfWA/s720/022.JPG)

Algernon Buchanan up to 450k now, his stack seems to have grown every time I walk past him

That's the Lynx effect you have on the guys Jon.

"Sohrab Tavakkolee Tazehabadi"


Easy one that Single T able Tourney for short

Amjad Mohammed talks us through his new found strategy
"I gave everyone a chocolate before I came back from the break, shoves 1st hand and they all fold!"
Sweets are clearly the way to the tables heart

Massive pot on table 12
Seat 9 raises, seats 2 & 4 call, flop 234rb and all 3 are all in
Seat 2 first for 223, seat 4 for 207, seat 9 covers
In seat order, 88, QQ, 55
Turn 5
River Q...

Seat 4 apologised for the re-bink...

Never apologise: never explain. 

I'm sorry, that's just how I am.

Andrew Wan is now out
gets it in with  8c 8d
Matthew Taylor finds  Qh Qs
Wan eliminated

Took me far longer than it should have to understand that joke  ;carlocitrone;

Shola Akindele now out
missed what she had, but her opponent had Aces - 141 remaining

Amjad Mohammed gets it in with  Kh Kc and a short stack
Richard Baker also short jammed  Kd Ts
Chippie Dagia sat behind both players and manages to find  Ahrt Ad
Aces hold, 2 down

He also sat in the wrong seat

Brian Belgrove limps in for 8K early position, Samuel Watts decides it's a good chance to see a cheap flop for 1/5th of his stack, next to him Lee Cownmeadow decides there are far too many limpers and makes it 28K to go.

It folds round to Brian who doesn't miss a beat and gets his 125K stack over the line faster than Rob Yong smashes guarantees for million pound comps.

Lee doesn't think for too long before folding 55 face up. Brian flips over two red aces and is up to nearly 200K now without even getting to a flop.


Very next hand Samuel Watts pops his remaining 50K over the line followed by an allin by Lee. On their backs - Samuel has A 4 while Lee is ahead with pocket 9s.

Flop runs out 8 2 j 2 then a 9 on the river to fill him up and send Samuel over to collect his 150 euros.

How much do i have left please Ms Cove?

3 more out till i ludder

Any updates on the Swindon lads please??

Colin Young out
gets it in with  Kd Jd
Called off by  Ad Ac
No help for Colin

Karl Grogan asked me to take his picture before he went out, then started fussing about his hair. I told him it looked lovely so don't let on to him that I was lying.

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-kzkSUhx0Tbs/T5wh2yxm4HI/AAAAAAAAYlU/9FVsz8FUHc4/s720/dtd%2520001.JPG)

No help for his opponent if Colin runs into him in the car park, after a lovely slowroll. Col got it in and was very reluctantly called, after Colin flipped his King Jack over, the other player shook his head and slowly went for his cards saying "I always lose with these" eventually showing the magic bullets.

Must be great being so optimistic.

Update on Jayne Cowland please and a pic if possible. Thanks

Can i out last another 8?

Dwayne Quinn doubles up with  Qs Th vs  Ad Kc all in pre
He then doubles down losing with  Ahrt Kh to  Aspades Qs
now sat back on about 110k

Just been told about another TWO outstanding slowrolls here yesterday.


Apparently Simon Deadman was slowrolled time after time: the final one being the worst when he checked 99 all the way down on a flop of A 2 4 A 6, for his opponent to ask if he ad to show his cards after Simon had tabled his pair.

"Yes" the dealer says, "Or you can just muck"

Mr Douche #1 laughs and turns over aces in the hole, just quads, that's all.


Two unknown players were in a hand. There was river betting I believe, and it all ended in. One player declared 2 pairs - there were two aces on the baord.

 The second player declared a straight and turned his hand over expecting to take the pot after player one's two pair declaration.

"Oh wait" Douchebag #2 says " My two pairs? I have Aces... and Aces..."

Yep, another gifted child with pocket aces making quads.

€200 wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Maria now on the rail, tells us "I shoved 100 times, finally called by 9's when i had A8 of dimaonds, no help"

LOL Not just you, there is another phantom player whose last few chips went in around 234th ensuring him a min cash in his absence.

How is Benidorm? Have you pulled a Madge look-a-like yet?

raining

first night give me a chance

Matthew Evans was on about 5k - he's doubled and doubled some more, and now on about 80k - the land of 8 bigs

Alan Lamont, a manchester player who has had a few decent cashes this year so far, raises to 16K with 66.

Gets a caller, then a raise to 60K, Alan elects to fold and leave himself with 120K for a better spot.

The other guy calls and Alan vomits a little bit in his mouth as the flop comes A 6 6.

Matt Evans has been moved to te ejector seat on table 25 - the last three guys to sit in it didn't even last an orbit.

Jane Cowland has about 200K now after winning a small pot with Ace high against Rasta in the blinds.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-au7bl35EgDI/T5wpHxMUKKI/AAAAAAAAYlc/Yh6_BomUXSU/s720/023.JPG)

Well we're now down to 108 players over 13 tables, although another is being broken as I type.

Probably time to break two or three tables actually with the issues I'm having with my missing H button :(


Blinds 5/10K, ante 1K, going up to 6/12K and a 2K ante in seven minutes when level 22 starts. Nine levels left to play and they are dropping like darts thrown by a blind midget.

Thanks,  I won't bok her then!

can i have another update on ken stokes please? no photo's this time though as hes not happy with the ghost of chritmas present comparison! haha

And Matt has just slouched past with his exit card in hand to collect 250 Euros.


They're breaking the table now so no new victims.

UPDATE PLEAS ON PETER WIGGLESWORTH - THNX IN ADVANCE

Dwayne Quinn also now on the rail.
Down to 98 players, payouts will now start jumping by €25 every 9 players to get eliminated until we are finally down to our final 2 tables

about 520k, average at 367k

Update on Gareth Cooke when ya got time please Cougar/Old Bird. Cheers

That's one of my favourite films!!


Alright alright, if he doesn't like being a legend he can have a pic with no caption. He's on about 300K.



(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-q9-694DuLls/T5wtR2iSPyI/AAAAAAAAYls/QHTTwt-cokc/s720/024.JPG)

^ ^  Jacky Charlton. That's all.

simon brown update and pic plz

Brian Belgrove, dealer at Luton Genting casino, cashed for 250 Euros, but had to promise cardroom manager James Simon a % in exchange for the night off.

Trouble is he bought in using vouchers and doesnt have a card registered on the site so they're having trouble paying him anything at all - ul James!

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ma4VhitX09M/T5wuN-GPpMI/AAAAAAAAYl0/1V3uLAJ21Cw/s720/dtd%2520004.JPG)

On about 320k

You picked him deliberately didn't you? Well it worked ;) I feel like I have a mission at last!


(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--IIzzC9R3uY/T5wv2ElXM0I/AAAAAAAAYmA/5qBTme-407M/s720/025.JPG)


He has about 460K by the way.

haha like it

The following are players with a Golden Chip infront of them - not sure if there are more about, or whether all these players have their Golden Chip entry in play:
Jasmine Foster - 800k
Everton Downer - 250k
Dale Parry - 900k
Troye Collins - 425k
David Amos - 200k
Ian Roberts - 450k

New chip leader....
cheeky chappy Tan Luan Le up to 1.2million
faced 3 bullets on an Ace high board, called a river shove with  Ad Js after almost folding but was good

Rumour has it that he's partial to a GILF ;)

Dale Parry with his golden chip and platinum chip stack.


(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-lLCuN-KV_iw/T5wyeg9nV4I/AAAAAAAAYmQ/q1VB7rBk7zs/s720/026.JPG)

Table 12, seat 2 raise to 32000 ugh+1
seat 3 to 110000from c 240000
Seat 2 moves all in, covering him

Seat 3 calls with. 66
Seat 2 KK holds

Even funnier - after calling he said to me

"It was the same hand as last time, the same hand, it was a sign, I couldn't fold it twice!"

But last time he said he had AQ... in fact if he had held AJ last time he would have flopped a full house on the A J J board!


(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-nw7Ktt-G5ZA/T5wzS7pg8yI/AAAAAAAAYmY/LWfh2koM088/s720/027.JPG)

Peter Evans not coming across nicely
He says to Jasmine Foster "what are you doing here?"
"what do you mean?" says Jasmine
"Haven't you got any ironing to do?"
May barely be acceptable if he was friends with miss Foster, but they've never met before, she is less than impressed by the comment
If looks could kill...

I'll give him your mum's number then..

To be fair, I think an acceptable answer there would have been if Jasmine had replied "Shall I iron your face while I'm doing my own clothes?"

i did say he bet the river and i shoved having him on a/k but there you go i played the hand bad  ;booboo;  no bad beat

Talk of the devil, Peter Evans has just taken down a one million pot and taken a player out with Ace high!

Lee Marshall raises it up, 3 bet from Peter which Lee elects to flat and they both see a flop of Jh 3h 9s.


Lee bets out and Peter raises, effectively putting Lee all in.


After a bit of a dwell, Lee makes the call with Kh Qh, for a flush draw and an inside straight draw. Peter has As Qc, but the turn and the river are two low black bricks, sending Lee home and Peter into shock that Ace high took it down.

Unfortunately he didn't make any more friends when he immediately lent across to Jasmine and said "I'm coming for you next woman"

Poetic Licence works both ways Al ;) I need to use it just as much as the players!

Three minutes left on the break, going back into level 23.

chip count for mo shohebe pls

we return with 76 players, the question on everyone's lips is....

(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSxISGbCwjTRWLjNA7EOEgko7aeIlDzenHhuC1Sbv0sJnYzGjKS)

will I make it to 1k posts today, tomorrow, or not at all over the weekend?!?!

stay tuned....

Ian Roberts - 450k - golden chip not in play

Chippie still in? Chip count?

Good luck to my mate Chippie (Mo Dagia). Any chip counts pls

Blind vs Blind, young anon makes it 48k
Kenneth Stokes jams for 395k
A small - very smalll dwell before calling off by young anon
Stokes -  8c 8d
Young Anon -  Ahrt Jh
 Jd on the flop, Young Anon up to about 1.2mil

About 450k

Alan Lamont just 3 bet all in to 95K after an opponent's raise to 20K.

Lee Gatteral made the call with A4, Alan's AJ looked in good shape till the obligatory 4 landed on the river.

Alan is genuinely gutted with 75th place, compared to what could have been.

Gaterell damage strikes again!! Legend

Jamie Brown all in for 350k - huge ship for over 20 big blinds from Middle position
Folds round to Lee Gaterell who announces "call" - thinking its blind vs blind, and is limping from the sb.
Gaterell then realises Brown had jammed, it means it stands as a call
Brown -  Ad Tc
Gaterell -  8c 5d
Nightmare for Gaterell, huge 720k pot goes to Jamie Brown with a  Ts on the river

Internal damage now I'd imagine, as his guts churn.

Chippie now on about 650K.

Paul Roberts all in for 170k with  Aspades Ks
Algernon Buchanan calls with  8c 8d
Algernon keeps his head down not looking at the board, Ace on the flop,  8s on the turn eliminates Roberts
"you didn't even look at the board did you" I ask him
"what did he hit an Ace?!?!" as I nod he gives me his best Macauley Culkin impression
now up to 800k or so

1.5mil pot giving us a new chipleader...
Algernon Buchanon all in with  Kh Kc
Khadam Hussain calls off with  Ad Kh
 Qh 8c 8d looks harmless enough...
Turn -  Jh
River -  Td
heartbreak for Ras as Hussain takes a 1.5mil chip lead

#smallmissclick

He pops round regularly so already has it. He's not into Asian birds anyway.

If chippie wins this it will be amazing. GL sir.

An open to 35k
Robert Sampson jams for about 550k
Paul Roberts rejams for 320k
Original raiser folds.
"I think I'm behind" says Roberts "but I couldn't fold"
Sampson -  Aspades Kd
Roberts -  Ad Qc
"I did hit my Queen last time though"
King on the flop - Roberts out

Hysterical moment courtesy of Zhung Ming Liao.

UTG John Sadler raises to 50K and Ming shoves his carefully nursed short stack of 7k - one third of a blind - into the middle.

All other players fold, and John Sadler gets 43K of his original raise back.

Wait a minute says Ming, looking at pot 1 in front of him, then pot 2 in front of John - "How is this right?"

Ten minutes of shouting and eventually the TD establishes that Ming expected a pot of his 7k, plus all the antes, and blinds, AND John's £50K raise in front of him.

The TD explains - many times - how Ming can only expect to get back what he has put in, and eventually we go to a flop, despite Ming's obvious reluctance at accepting he can't win in excess of 80K for his 7K allin.

John has K 10

Ming has J 6

The flop is Q J..... 9.

Straight for John, glimmer of hope for Ming on the turn when he hits a 6 for 2 pairs, but a brick river and all the arguing proved irellevant anyway. What a Mingbat.

Ming is a legend rofl. Hes been playing for yeeeeears too lol

Looks like we'll definitely get down to the required 4 tables tonight after all, Jon is willing to put his neck on the line and say 20 - 22 players will go through, short handed on four tables.

I'm going for a few more, maybe 25-27.

Five minutes left before we recommence.

Any chip counts or pictures wanted, give me or Jon a shout please.

pic of simon brown plzzzzz

Pete Wiggleswort plz. Tank You.

640k

Good luck to the leicester lot  Jd 6c
chippy dagia- Eric spicer- Jeff sharpe- mike wright- everton downer

UTG Jamie Brown makes it 55k
Ian Roberts jams for 365k, Greek Jack tank folds, Brown dwell calls
Roberts -  Aspades 4h
Brown -  7c 7h
All looks safe for Brown - until the  Ad river doubling Roberts up

Simon Brown on 400K. He's sat next to Blonde Flushemout who is on 670K.

Pete Wigglesworth to 63k
Luke Josephs jams for 540k
Spicer into the tank, eventually passes saying he cant believe he folded (Says after he had QQ)
Wigglesworth into the tank, before finding a call
Josephs -  Ac Ks
Wigglesworth -  9d 9h
9's hold, Josephs out, Wiggelsworth comfortably over 1mil

Jimmy "Royle Family" Lee, started today as one of the big stacks but has taken a couple of beats and lost races he was favourite in.



In fact, as I'm typing he comes over to collect his prize money for 50th place. He shoved 350K on the button with A4, which with the bklinds at 24/12K with a 3K ante, is his only move. Ran slap bang into Queens and takes home 400 Euros.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_zUrLM4-j30/T5xT3bhxHII/AAAAAAAAYm0/39D1VJLdmHo/s720/030.JPG)

Anon now out, ran his  Ad Ac into the  Ks Qh of Adrian Gate
Ace on the flop but Gate makes broadway

46 players left in.

Gordon Goodall suffered a pretty sick fate at the hands of Dale "sleeps with dealers for hands" Perry.

Gordon min raises wit As Kh

Folds round to Dale who shoves all in on the BB for 400K with pocket 4s.

Gordon makes the call, for all his chips for the flop to run out


Ac 2d 9c.

Gordon leans back a little and breathes out.

Turn the 10c

Still breathing.

River 7c

Dale holds the 4c while Gordon has no clubs, and a mild coronary when he realises Dale has got there.

Gordon out with 400 euros.

The biggest gift of all gifts - painful to watch
From the cut off, at 12k/24k blinds Khadam Hussain open jams for 1.7million.
Aaron Adams snaps him off, both birthday and christmas have come at the same time for him sat with 1.3million at the time
Hussain -  Ad Js
Adams -  Ahrt Aspades
Aces hold, Hussain down to 400k, Adams first man over 2mil I believe on 2.7million.

Gordon and Anon had a percentage of each other but went out together in the same money band.

Players flying out
Anthony Fox tells us "Queens - A-10-3 flop, turn Ace, river Ace, obviously he's got the Ace"
Fox out, James Clarke is that man on about 2.2mil

Eric Spicer gets his short stack in with  Kh Qs
He wasn't expecting Sampson to wake up with  Kd Kc
And if he wasnt expecting that, he certainly wasn't expecting fellow shortstacker Adrian Gate to wake up with  Ad Ahrt
Aces hold, Gate with the full triple up, Spicer out.

Support staff have been deluged with paperwork for the past few hours as every player exits, they have to be "processed" and their winnings paid into their online account, which inevitably, every player can't remember the name or email for.

Anthony King has just crashed out in 42nd place with Queens full - no good against quads.

Anthony raised with QQ, gets a caller and makes a C bet on a flop of A 10 2.

His adversary calls, and Anthony immediately is done with the hand at that point.

However, the turn - another Ace - elicts no bet from his opponent, so they see a free river.

River is a third Ace. Anthony freely admitted at this point he thinks his opponent has a smaller pair or even a missed straight draw so when he checks to be faced with an insta allin, he calls.

Bah.

There's that pesky fourth ace, yep, right there in the other guy's hand.

425 Euros for Anthony, and the added bonus of no hotel bill for tonight.

Blinds up to 15k/30k/4k, Average at 895k.
just 39 remain, recent exits include:

40   Simas Dargis   €425

Khadam Hussain finishes off his masterclass in how to go from chipleader to bust in 1 level
He gets 700k in with  Jh 9h on a  5h 4h 3c board
Absolutely snapped off by James Clarke with  6s 7s
 Jd 2d no good, Hussain out, Clarke easily over the 3mil mark

Young Anon seemed like he was tilting pretty hard early on, I saw him muck his hand with as much force as possible
The tilt now over, get 306k in with  Ks 2s, Dale Parry calls with  Ad Jd
Ace high is good, young anon busts

32 players left on 4 tables.

20 minutes left on level 26, blinds at 15K/30K, antes 4K average chip stack - one mirrrrrriiion chips.

chip count for mo shohebe pls

Ian Roberts gets his shortstack of 50k in with  5d 5h
Susan Bennett calls with  Js Qs
Flop -  Ad Ac Qh
Bennett eliminates Robert

Young anon currently having a tantrum at his mate, so in future we will call him Mr Hissy Fit: there's far too many anons round ere.

He's on about 700K.

James Clarke is the chip daddy on his table, struggling to see over his own chip mountain.

Clarke on about 3.8mil from what I can make out
A regular here at DTD, better known as Raggy

You can't buy class you know.

Peter Evans currently on a very large stack and the crest of a wave.

As I go over to his table he raises it 80K UTG, and picks his cards up so I can clearly see them. I try to look away but of course I'm a woman, we don't have a discreet gene in our bodies, so I take a peek.

It folds round to Greek Jack who asks Peter if he has a pair of fours again. Jack asks for a count, has a think and eventually folds - claiming he passes A Q.

Everyone else folds and Peter cheerfully shows Jack a four.

He doesn't however show him the ace with it, sc oops up the blinds and antes and adds them to his messy stack. He says he doesn't know how many he has himself, but one of the dealers has kindly sorted them now in the break and tells me it is about 1.75M.

Being down to 30 players now on four tables, DTD have decided to shave two levels off from today, finishing at the end of this next one, level 27.

loving your blog " gobshite on tour " by the way , great read, very funny, i gues you know my mate herbert sherbert then , il say hi when im next over to dtd !!! :)

Anyone called Big tadger friend of Herbie is a friend of mine.

Jamie Brown to 85k
Peter Evans makes a raise of 600k, more or less commiting Jamie Brown who has an 800k stack
He gets it in with  7h 7d
Evans has  Ad Ts
 Ahrt is the first card out

Jamie Brown 30th for €450

Ian Gell all in for 300k with  Kh Kc
called by the  Ac 8s of David Amos
 Aspades the window card, Gell out

Mo Shoahebe shoves all in on the button for 665K after Raggy raises in early position.

Raggy says"I know I'm ahead, it's just if you hit one of your cards", not exactly a revelation to any other player at the table.

He eventually says Oh go on then and makes the call with pocket dueces.

He was right, he was ahead, and he was also right in his prediction, as a Queen hit the turn to give Mo his doubl;e up.

28 players left in, half an hour left to play tonight.

Dan Oneill to 100k
Mark Pyne to 250k, called by Oneill
Flop -  Qs 6s 2s
Oneill checks, Pyne jams for 350k. Oneill tank folds  Jc Jh face up, I think it may be different if he had the  Js, Pyne shows  Ad 9d
Oneill nods his head, genuinely seems to acknowledge Pyne's play

A fair few players found out about 20 minutes ago that this was to be the last level
Since then I don't think we've seen a single elimination, 13 minutes left to play with 28 players across 4 tables.

Jack Fairman gets it all in wit QQ against Peter Evans' A 8, an 8 on the flop but no more help and Jack's stack is back.

Well, he doubles up to about 9 Bigs, but it didn't quite have the same ring to it.

Mark PYne raises on the button, Mike Wright ships the lot in from the SB.

Mark sneeks a peek back at his hand and folds a decent ace, Mike shows Queens.

Peter Wigglesworth finds  Qs 8s on the button
jams for 950k or so - blinds at 20k/40k/5k
No thought for Dale Parry - snaps with  Ahrt Aspades
Aces hold, full double for Parry leaving Wigglesworth with peanuts - is now on the rail

Greek Jack and Pete Evans heads up tommoz

Come on the Old boys

Susan Bennett now on the rail
Down to 25 players

Another sicko cooler.


Pyne raises early position, reraised by Dan ONeill in the big blind. Pyne, who as been pretty active for quite some time, picks possibly the worst spot to shove it all in after Dan snap calls him.

Well, holding Aces, you're not folding are you? Pyne's A J is looking pretty limited next to Dan's Bullets, but just to add insult to injury, the flop runs out

As Js Jd, house over house, and Pyne is out in 27th place for 475 Euro.

Dan Oneill on over 2.5 Million.

We're done and dusted here for day 2 of the DTD Grand Prix.

25 players come back tomorrow for the final day.

We'll be back here at noon tomorrow, bright eyed and bushy tailed as per usual ;)

Gl tmw brv you've done well so far go and finish it off . What a great couple of days and hopefully the kippax boys will be celebrating monday night

any idea how many golden chips left?

At least one :)

enjoyed sitting with u for the last hour Dave, gl on ft with golden chip but will be raising with my 89 again. get there and see u later

1-0 to you Michael. The guy who was in seat 6 was the last one to show me a bluff... he managed to find a 3bet with 34, but given I'd raised with 94 the fold was pretty easy.

It's been fun so far, hope to be sitting with you on the final table

caroline did a rain dance for me last night as i run a kids footy team and ko was 11.30, would wanna be there more than grinding 1 mill, but will be there as game called off. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
