Cardiff GUKPT: Day 1A - At A Glance

[danafish]

Ash Hussain is OUT - not sure what happened exactly as I only caught the tail end of it, but somehow he got involved with  against pocket tens and failed to improve.

Ding Ding!  End of Day...

Meanwhile back on table Romanello he ended the day as he started it, raising non-stop, including under the gun, blind.  Two players on his table have managed to increase their stacks, however:  Ian 'hotdog' Fieldhouse (now on 37k or so) and Mike Tse (now on 42k).

We are going to be long gone by the time the final full counts come out (eta 6am) so I can just promise that they'll be sellotaped to the end of this update (and the beginning of the next one) tomorrow afternoon before start of Day 1B.

And a very silly hand to end the night, that involved everyone limping and shouting in a we-want-to-go-to-the-bar, or possibly a we-have-already-been-to-the-bar, kind of way.

... and so on. Totally ridiculous. The  won. But honestly.
