blonde poker forum

From 2.30pm today, live update of the Chipleader live final

We'll post up names and their seat draw when we get them, for the 220+ players who have qualified by winning Online SNGs and collecting chips for the event

Caroline Cove will be updating this weekend

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/images/news/Lisa-chipleader.jpg)

Good luck all blondes. Nice to have Caroline doing her thing too

Of dear God no, it's started already, I dread to think what her riposte to that will be.

Umm, good luck all.

GL all Blondes in this today!!

She still not up yet? Guess some guy must have got unlucky last night :)

She told me u r staying the nite jaz but she prefer Rastafish.
Black boy and muscular , and talk more than me!

Oh you are up then. That's you crossed off my list of possibles then.

Best of luck today Frankie. So many good guys in this but you and Tommy Bingham heads up is my tip of the day :)

Ty jaz and happy fathers day tomoz .
Have a good time

Think I'm going to need a miracle today having just looked at the leaderboard!!

Can someone post the leader board up pls.

Leaderboard is here, for those that want to see it

We won't be matching up real names to online aliases, but I am sure you'll get an idea of who is who amongst the big stacks once Caroline takes some pics

224 entries

18.3m chips in play

Average 84,000

starting at 100-200

Overlay is a shade over €15,000

16,000. LETS GO!!

Any with sameish stack want a friendly last longer bet?
Dont think I will last long ;)

Dan Ward has 17k so will take him against you if you want? Let me know how much before you kick off

How meant is Milly starting with ?

18k for me <1/4 avg. wiiiiiii! Whose getting smashed then?

Puke, don't open til 2. Got a bottle of champers I was gonna give to Leatherman if anyone wants a carpark party? Black ford focus, front row. Cya there.

 
 ;indestructable;

Ha, these 2 hu pls.

Don't panic.

I was having a leisurely chat with Chippyman in Nandos, comparing the merits of different foods. Chinese or Fish?

Let's go ladies.. Who's going to take this one down? I would have loved to play this myself but the fact I was already booked to work it pre-empted any attempt to win chips.

Been talking to Simon Trumper and he's definitely going to run this comp again, but with a few little tweaks to make sure it's even bigger and better.

Hot topic of conversation in the smoking area is just how much did d216090 spend to get 659500 chips when he takes his seat today?

feel like I'm missing out now.
Had I realised you were updating it Caroline i'd have had a bash

Hope you have a fun day, looking forward to reading the updates

but what about trying to qualify?

bahaha.

I'd expect nothing less!

anyway of finding out love to know amswer to this

at a guess i saying £1k

Any news on the seat draw? Stuck at a fete until 5ish! Sigh

Like to know where to sit when I get there!

I'd hope for more...

Blinds start at 100/200. Golden chips must be displayed on the table at all times, and the last man standing displaying his Golden Chip wins a Carribean Poker package courtesy of DTD Poker, for nothing, nada, gratis. Can't argue with that can you!

220 players will start today and play through ten levels, how many will come back tomorrow? Will today's chip daddys be reduced to cry babies by closing time or will they keep their super stacks and take it down?

Cards are in the air, let's do this.

Now this has started, I really wish i had had a go at this.  Good to hear Simon is running it again.

Deffo next time.

Good luck all, and try and find out how much the chipleader had spent!

pics of dave milligan through the varying stages of drunkeness pls

Gooooooo Booder
Regular updates please.

Hi Waz, no seat draw available as yet but Jon is going to try and find out for you.

Real name? Scuse my ignorance.. it's a gift usually but when it comes to psychic powers I'm not so good.

Rich, u didn't say d gl to me CHIPPYMAN

Afraid we can't get access to a seat draw, but should be able to find your seat easily enough on arrival.
I've spotted Wadey and Julian Thew drawn sat next to one another, as well as Vinodh, Liam Batey and Stuart Kinghorn on a table together.

I feel like i am playing a 1$ MTT.
There is 6 people seeing the flop everyhand.
My table likes limping

David Baker thanks.
Update on the White T-shirt model, Matt Russell and soon to be 40 Stuart Hopkin also appreciated.

good luck Frankie. Nice and quiet as usual please

No valets up here.. Caroline, pear bulmers and ice to 42/2 plz. Get yaself one as well.

Forty four of the top 45 stacks all have a Golden Chip.

Thanks appreciate it.

Raffle going well too. 20 prizes. draw at 3.45pm!

Managed to get an elimination
at 100/200, 40k managed to go in on a  Jh 3s Qd 8c
Ruben Francis at risk with   Jd 8d
Andrew Macleod has  Th 9d
River bricks, Francis out

Sadly we don't have an elimination list, all we have is little name tags for the players on tables, so when they go we are hoping they leave them at the tables for us to work out who eliminated who

Unusually for DTD there is no seat draw up on site.

This may be something to do with anonymity, or maybe the system can't deal with the change in starting blinds is Jon's theory.

Obviously, unless we know a player's name it is going to be very hard to track guys down, so do me a favour and text your mates who are playing and ask them to either give me a wave, or a slap on the ass as I pass by. Jon says he'd prefer a wave only if it's all the same to them.

I'm off to take some pics.

I can tell you all a little secret as long as you promise not to tell anyone else..


Chinese Frankie popped Tommy Bingham's cherry today.

Tommy said he'd never tried it before but was willing to give it a go.

Frankie paid and cleaned up afterwards.







Tommy said he'd definitely be happy to go to Nandos again.

..Everyone is drunk

Blinds 100/200..everyone is in the pot pre.
Wtf

Loooool.

Also noticed Peter Wigglesworth sat opposite Mitch Johnson

Are all the big stacks there guys?

Wondered if they would all show!

Updates on Lewis please :-) a sneaky photo too :-)

there seems to be more short/average stack yet to arrive than the bigstacks, who all seem happy to be here with over 3,000 big blinds

I'm the good looking one on table 35.

What table/seat is he on please?

Nope. can't see him?

Spyros down to about 105k
he had  4s 5s against an unknown players  9s Tc on  6s 7d 8s 3h
River -  Ac
Pot was about 155k

Steve Holden is here, off to a good start in an early hand vs Ian Hughes.

Ian raises UTG and gets 4 callers, which seems to be pretty standard so far today.

Flop of 7 9 4 rainbow and Ian bets out 2k which loses just one limper.

Turn is a ten and Ian valiantly gives it anoter go with a 5K bet this time.

Steve Holden repops him up to 12K, Daniel Bedson sigh folds pocker Queens and Ian flat calls.

The river is a King and Ian checks to Steve who bets out 17K.

Ian asks Steve if he's got there, and Stede says I take it you're not callin then.

"Do you want me to call" he asks and Steve tells him he can do what he likes "dude"

Ian the Dude opts to fold, showing pocket eights.

Steve mucks and takes the pot.

In before u come back and snap the dealer.

I'm upto 55k from 26.5k wiiii

So how have they done the chips? has everyone with big stacks got a decent amount of the lower end one's or have they screwed up and put about four billion 5k's onto the tables?

Older, balder, grumpier and painted.
Started with 400k ish.

Judging by your positive question, you'll be gutted to know DTD hasn't screwed up.

Sorry.

Chips stacks are pretty well distributed and everyone has plenty of small denomination chips. Simon is currently in the office pressing off a few more in case of emergency. He never sleeps.

hat is Milligan, David, Millidonk.

Needs no introduction..

Booder in 32/6

Cheers! will get him now.

Don't know what bolder looks like but doubt he's as good looking a me..

You'd be surprised (i probably worded it wrong tbf), im happy theyve got it right :D feel sorry for them with the overlay in fairness the idea's smashing just needs fine tuning :), so id imagine the 200k stacks actually look pretty sweet :D

Loooooooool

Simon's sorted out the tweaks for next timeI don't want to steal his thunder and tell you his plans but will definitely work even better next time.

He looks more and more like my dear old mum everyday :)

Morning

Simon's giving thanks at being placed oop to Girgy?

Giq sir :)

FIGHT!!



Well not yet.. but if any seating arrangements change you never know!

Pete Wrigglesworth, he of the Facebook status updates from hell, is asking everyone who XXX69 is.

When Pete's been playing the online CL games his adversary XXX69 has chosen to use the medium of keyboard warrior to attack.

Pete says XXX69 MUST know him he reckons "because one of things he called me was a bald *****"


He may have just took a lucky stab at the bald bit Pete, to be fair.

Good good :), hopefully he's made changes to the qualifying system as well, it sucks when towards the end it becomes pointless due to the high blinds and massive competition, although that said if a 15k starting wins this it'll be hilarious!

Lol I couldn't resist.

Good luck all blondes

I didn't want to tell people in case they asked how it was for me.


I hate to lie.

Frankie has all his chips back and a little more after calling a raise from the guy who took them initially.

Frankie has K2 up against his oppos AK.


Yep.  Flop runs out K.... 2.....2..

Online poker is sooooo rigged.

Caroline- is the 100 a re entry?

Oh my bad.

Apparently it's not.


Easy mistake, counted tables incorrectly.

Hiya George, 5pm start, last reg 8.15pm and yes you may have one re-entry.

Think I've got it right now.

Here's Girgy.

Sheriff Fatman news please.: Curtis Ledger

Sheriff will post to tell you where he is

rofl :D:D:D:D

Lol, I'm out of my depth now. Have a good weekend and enjoying your update style.

Wiiiii Rat Muscle.

He has just come to say hello, he's on 63,800 right now, which I predict will stay the same for the next ten minutes, as the players are on a break.

The next 40 minute level starts shortly, coming back at 150/300.

Players that have been eliminated before the break are as follows:

210   Anonymous
211   David Sutherland
212   Craig Wilde
213   Alyce Sugden
214   Andrew Stanton
215   Jack Stokes
216   Dean Mcdonald
217   Antony Travers
218   Leon Campbell
219   Ruben Francis
220   Daniel Ward

Update on rob green please, 14/7 I believe.

Thanks

Best player in china

Players back now, Matt Russell is not in a rush to get back to his table, he's on a plan to drink one pint every level. Level is two minutes in and his glass is half empty, or half full, depending on your outlook on life. Matt's on about 55K, about 1k less than he started with.

#nitsgonnnit

Rob Green on 33k

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xKFleGIlIhc/T9yjCJCnTuI/AAAAAAAAaFQ/RTJiXO4_NMA/s720/018.JPG)

Don't forget the £100 FO at 5pm, 15K starting stack and it's guaranteed at £7.5K, buy in til 8.15pm.

Sigh.....started with 72k lost pot after pot ...
Now down to 20k after losing set under set to Lynne Beaumont

Sorry to ask this again jaz , is ur mum really a MAN?

No you look like an old woman

Bowl of rice

27k in the middle on  7s 2s 5c 6d
Aaron Dyson all in for 20k, Ganesh Jayaraman (Vinodh) has him just about covered
Lots of ooing and arring, finally finds a call with  Ts 8s
Dyson -  Kh Kd
River is  Jh, Dyson doubles

Just been informed the biggest stack so far to be eliminated from the start of the day is 26,000

Now now now u freaking bold headed t**t, no need for that

Bah beat me to it. :(

Out.
66 < AKs.

Sigh:

Nope that's me

£1460 apparently.

Don't think it's any secret that Paul Brown was today's Chip leader when we started.

He still is.

Lol bit of both really but it goes some way as to why I love you so much Frankie.

What seat you on Lee

Welcome Rhino!

Enjoy your time on Blonde, where we're just one big family, who love to gently banter amongst each other, never even meaning to offend blah blah.

Any ideas of the numbers for the 100...? wondering whether it's worth making a trip down to play it...

Picture and chip count of the absolutely MASSIVE little monson Mitch "Mitch" Johnson please caroline. Hopefully he'll be out by 9pm so he'll play cash.

Hi derr btw :)

Here he is, Mitch Johnson.

Mitch has a brother who plays poker apparently, but don't think he's all that, never hear his name round here.

Mitch on about 140K.



For now.


(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--DxU5X4Ky6g/T9yo-8l3pvI/AAAAAAAAaFs/QbB7-jM75Kw/s720/019.JPG)

Apparently there's a few already in. Surely with a gtd prize pool of 7.5K it would be worth playing more if there were no other runners?

There's no online buy in for this so obviously people are just rolling up now to enter and I would imagine players from the chip leader comp will also join in they are eliminated. So doesn't look like Mitch will be on cash anytime soon.

Thank you Caroline..

23-9 mate

Delayed due to not having 10 runners!

3k in the middle on  7c 6c 2c

Julian Thew has just been moved to Steve Holden's table.

I asked Steve how many chips he has and he says about 140K, although that could easily change now Julian is there.

Julian tries to lose his nice guy image with an attempt at an evil Muhaahaa, but it comes out too quietly and the player next to him says "Gesundeit", thinking he sneezed.

Alan Armitage.

First encountered "Bigal" online when I rubbed him down so badly he threatened to beat me up at Manchester GUKPT.

Luckily dewiJ intervened and told him how big I was and we've got on great ever since.

I said the other day on the chipleader thread £1500 !!

He is on 660K, pretty much where he started. The other guys on his table say he literally hasn't played a hand. He was going to skip today and just come in tomorrow but his landlady is chasing him for his rent so he decided he was better off dodging her in here. Allegedly.

Yea your mates one of them!!

tyty :) back to the grind!

sorry dident read thread a few questions if you dont mind

did you play the sats from the start
how many a day did you play

(http://wzeu.ask.com/r?t=a&d=mys&s=ads&c=p&app=aoth&ti=1&ai=30751&l=dis&o=16515&sv=0a65292a&ip=50065ce3&cu.wz=0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tobruksheepstation.com.au%2Fimages%2FWHIPS.jpg)

Me?
I played at start then stopped.a few weeks ago

hmmm, is that 4 pain or pleasure?

George Bedi has just entered the building.

I'd heard his big win had gone to his head, but didn't believe it. I still don't, but once I get past his nine bodyguards and four charriot bearers I'll ask him.

Dodging the rent but slaps down 1.5k for this.... #Priorities

knew as soon as I mentioned the word grind whilst working with Caroline it was a mistake... when will I learn

LeeTheFish on about 40K now, has been donating to Lynne Beaumont, happily on £140K now.

dont worry looks like u could be  in for a 'cracking' time

Hmm. Irony and satire and sarcasm featured heavily in the making of my original post.

It was a joke!

Just missed the hand, but I'm afraid Rob Green is now on the rail

Errrr I have a small confession to make. Alan asked me what the hell Caroline the mouth looks like coz she is having a slap. I sent him this..........

Players on break.

Matt Russell says he's not sure how this pint a level will work out, he's currently down to 40K.

Sigh.

Just shown DTD's Nicola the picture fromn Jason and she says

"I can actually see a similarity, I think it's your hair"


I wasn't even aware she could see my chest hair.

I'm pretty gullible.

Matt told me we were on a break just because he had got another pint and I actually took it as gospel. Just looked round to check the clock and see we still have 30 minutes left at this level.

Gordon Goodall about an hour said to me "take a picture of me with these chips, I'm going to win this, I have a feeling"
Goodall is now on the rail

Give is a couple of your tips for the top having seen who has the stacks mate.

Anyone thinking of playing the £100 seriously should get down here and take advantage of the potential massively overlay. Guaranteed 7.5K, started with 8 runners... yes, EIGHT. Currently up to 19 runners, buy in til 8.15pm...


Come On Down....


(http://wzeu.ask.com/r?t=a&d=mys&s=ads&c=p&app=aoth&ti=1&ai=30751&l=dis&o=16515&sv=0a65292a&ip=50065ce3&cu.wz=0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsharetv.org%2Fimages%2Fthe_price_is_right-show.jpg)

Here!!! 24k at 250/500. Should be fun.

Body doesn't require guarding unfortunately :(

Difficult to say so early on, plenty of new players here today
may drop my top 10 tips come the end of the day before Day 2 tomorrow

4k in the middle on  4d 8d Ts
Paul Newman checks, Simon Trumper bets 2,600.
David Newman (no relation) calls. Paul Newman to 5,200, playing about 13k.
Trumper bets 25k, David folds, Paul says "I can't fold a double gutter" calling with  6h 7d
Trumper has  Th 9h
 5d on the turn doubles Paul up, knocking Simon Trumper down to about 50k

Reminds me of this

Seat & table number?

Awesome film mate
My nephew was named Luke ....after cool Hand .......lol

Alan Armitage up to 300k
flopped bottom set vs top 2, went in on the flop, the set holds.

Yes one of my favs too

Table 42, seat 3.

Lewis FTW!

Players really on a break now. Matt Russell at the bar again.

Rob Day having a nightmare of a game. A player raised UTG with Kd 10h to see a flop of 824 with two hearts. Rob had the 8 and bet it, the OR calls. Turn is another 8he 8h,  Rob bets it again and the guy calls again.

River is  a low heart giving Rob's adversary a 10 high flush, obviously beating Rob's trip eights. Rob asked him why he called and he replied with that golden line

"I didn't think you had anything"

Good read.

On 98k at 2nd break from 102k starting. Fun touney tho!

We're playing 15 levels today so aim to be finishing around 2am.

Blonde's Sherriff Fatman now on aboput 117,500, Simon Trumper just pinched a pot before thebreak to get him back to where he started with 74K.

News on James Barber, table 43/6 Steve Redfern 36/2 and Liam Batey 27/7 please once you are back off break

thanks

Maybe silly coming down with missing the first couple of hours.

Needed alllotttt of luck and didn't even win the first coin flip.

18k all in 1010 vs ak

Ha ha I take requests. Where is he?

Be warned though, it may be unlucky.

I just asked Waz where he was seated and he told me table 42/3

Off I wander as I walk up from 42/7 I hear the dealer shout "Seat open Table 42/3"

So Waz's chip count is - I'm taking an educated guess - zero. However, he's just had a text telling him won the raffle at today's fete so all is not lost.

Play the £100?

Hi Smokynuts (have we met?..you sound interesting) although it says 36 it is definitely paying out to 18.

Stick with Blonde, we'll keep you up to date.

Not good enough and Not in my budget I'm afraid. Ty for the thought tho

Liam Batey on 50K "but I only started with 20K".

He's a grower not a shower.

Thank you.

Make someone SCREAM on my table and show him the bluff .
Enjoy it very much < lovethegame

Got back above starting stack last hand before break thanks to being a massive drunken fish who doesn't require good pot odds to call for flushes.

Happy times :)

Dusted a few k off since so back down to 52k or so.

22 mins to bar time!

Where the phrase "my starting stack" came to die...

Wadey went down to 20k but now back up to 50K and has just been moved tables.

Mitch Johnson on 135,025.  He started the day on 135,000 so as you can see, he has increased his stack substantially. WP that man.

Sherriff on 140K.

Down to 11k ....Lynne b again !!I raise utg  Ad Qh flop  Ahrt 3h 5s I lead top pair with re draw to second nuts.....she flats

millidonk updates pls!

Alan Armitage raises preflop and gets a caller in the big blind from John Picken.

Flop 10d Jd 4d and John bets out only to eventually dwell fold after a big big raise from Big Al. John showed the Ad.


Paul Brown and Liam Batey get in a hand together, possibly the first hand Paul has played in six hours.

Paul limps in UTG and flat calls a raise from Liam Batey to 1600 (Blinds 300/600)

Flop is 3s 6s Ah.

Paul checks and Liam does an apparent C bet of 4K.

Paul sits for a few minutes and then makes it 8600. Liam doesn't bat an eyelid and pops it up again to 17K.

Paul folds, saying he should have got it all in pre after Liam raised before the flop.

Players now on a break as we race off the 25 chip denominations
176 remain of 220
Average at 103k, we return to 400/800/100

Milidonk grinding the slowest grind ever, scraping up about 1k every level. Currently on 28K.

Just saw Wadey scoop in a 50k pot with no showdown
The man is on a mission, now up to over 100k having been down to 20k earlier

Yea for how long! Roulette shouting Wadee

You're in disgrace now, ten mins in the sin bin after what you you just did to me!


Frankie told the valet I used to be a man, a "he/she" as he so nicely put it, then tried to run his hand up my thigh to show the valet I was packing!

Craig Edwards makes it 1800 UTG +1, and Kevin Corcoran makes it 4K to see a flop, sat next to him.

Craig elects to indeed see a flop and the dealer obliges with [7c] [5c] [jc]

Craig check calls a bet from Kevin and the turn is then the [4c] whic is checked by both players.

River comes another four [4] and both players check again.


Craig turns over [ah] [qc] but it isn't enough, Kevin has the second nut flush wit [kc] [9c] in his hand.

I have just beat Lynn b in a hand .....wiiiiiiiiiiiii
Small pot but hey I won one

For the 1st time u blush!  U loving it btw

Wadey is indeed a man on a mission!

He's just had a double up, taking him to 250K now.

Wadey raised with the mighty 10 J and gets a caller from Matthew Moore.

Flop is a nice top two pair for Wadey - 10 J 5

Matthew Moore seems to like it as well and calls a bet from Wadey.

Turn is a six.

Wadey bets out again for Matthew to announce allin for 300K!

Wadey snaps him off and Matthew happily turns over his hand to show what he assumes is the winning hand with 10 6, but his glee turns to ghee as Wadey scoops the pot with 10 J for the better two pair.

Thanks Frankie. Sinclair the doorman has just wandered over splitting his sides as the valet has just gone to him and said "Apparently she used to be a man!"

Says on Facebook (so it must be true) that Sheriff Fatman is expecting a baby on Dec 19th!

To be honest I didn't think he was all that big, but congrats anyway.

Lol glee to ghee. Your posts need more <3

Congrats Curtis

I thought that when I saw his stag-night pictures so I would wait for official confirmation.


Many congrats. Curtis.

Next level so mr pie is off to the bar (http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/drink/very-drunk.gif) (http://www.sherv.net/drunk-emoticon-1198.html)

Glad it wasn't overlooked, quite liked that one myself, but I've long since accepted I laugh at my own jokes more than most.

Stuart Hopkin gets it in with  5h 5d on a  8h 2h 2s board
Called by the  Kd Kc of Alan Jenkinson
King's hold, Hopkin eliminated

Gary Colclough - Rotty - is berating another player

"I'd love to know your thought process when you called on the flop?!"

Apparently he raised pre with AK, loved the flop of A 2 4, but clearly so did his opponent who called a chunky bet holding pocket threes, obviously forgetting an open ended draw needs to be able to hit at either end to qualify.

Fortune favours the brave, but fate loves the foolhardy and sure enough, he binks his five on the turn to catch his straight. Just to make matters worse, Rotty picks up trip aces on the river but manages to keep his loss to 31K in total.

Ten minutes later and I can still hear him asking why!

Wadey celebrates chips with chips.

I have just spotted Jack Allan heading to the bar to watch the Poland game, having been eliminated

My top two held against his straight draw

Sean Hart got it in for 20k with  Aspades Qs
James Robert Turner calls with  Jd Jh, James wincing in his seat
"you don't usually win races do you?" I ask him, seen him complaining about running bad on facebook
he says "no, I never win them"
Tell that to the  2d 3d 6d flop
Jack's hold, Hart out

I apologise in advance if I'm not giving your work the plaudits that it deserves and interacting with the update as much as usual this weekend Ms Mellencamp as I am rather distracted with the Euros and the US Open golf but I would like you to know that I still appreciate your witty repartee as much as ever.

xx

Simon Trumper had a double up with Aces, when his oppo decides to get it all in on the turn of a queen high board, holding Jacks.

Aces' Aces held.

Simon now on 114K.

Most on here would disagree with you but thanks all the same xx

On the poker front, I haven't been involved in a pot bigger than 50k and haven't been all in but have somehow gone from 46,000 at the start to about 296k now!

I have love for this thread, making me smile through the grind :) 54k btw

Second not just to football, but also to golf.

Standard for a woman I guess.


Although not according to the valet who keeps crossing the room to avoid me in case I give her a nudger nudge while squeezing past.

Good!

Seating position?

Simon Hyde pulling off the Cypress Hill look, next to him is Lee the Fish, pulling off the grass don't grow on a busy hill look.

85k!

Simon Hyde bets out 7K on a flop of [5c] [4d] [7c]

Gets a caller from Lynne Beaumont plus two others.

Turn is the [10d]

Simon bets 10K and Lynne makes it 25K, the other two fade.

River is the [Jd] and both players check.

Simon turns over two pairs, fives and sevens and Lynne nods and mucks.

Enunciate! Enunciate! It;s a busy card room, I heard 285!

I might of said I have improved to 85k lol

Statham eliminates the two short stack of Balbir Atwal and Cezary Binczyck

Matt Russell is 8 pints in and has just been paid off with quads after 3 betting with 5 7 off, and watching the board run out 5 7 A 5 5.

He doesn't run so good in life though as he's just agreed his Missus can take his credit card and treat herself to a pair of shoes.

As I walk past he asks me

"What exactly are Louboutin shoes anyway?"



er... about 1k a pair Matt. UL.


Matts on about 85K. Desperately looking for a win now he knows how much the shoes are.

Ah. I've been oping no one would ask this today. I have bad news.

I'm not sure whether they've had a cull or whether some have been sacked but the valets are distinctly, mm how can I put this politely, they are distinctly average.

I have to disagree on 2 of them

Ollie Allen flat calls a raise in mid position, two others in the pot.

Flop of [Ah] [7s] [Qs]

Original raiser checks and Ollie bets out 5K, small blind folds and the OR looks at Ollie's (small) stack and calls.

Turn is the [8h] and Ollie again bets, 8K this time and the OR check raises to 20K.

Quicker than Barry Neville chasing a dropped ten pound note in the wind, Ollie gets his remaining chips in and the OR makes a sigh call as the all in is less than his check raise.

OR is drawing dead with [As] [J] as Ollie Allen has pocket rockets, turn is a brick and his top set hold.

Sorry, I was referring to the female ones only. Agree with you on the two guys though.

update on Mark Briggs (sharky_uk) please!!

Very nice man too!

Just bumped into Jon the updater as we squeezed through the tables.

"Anything exciting happening?" I ask

"Well" he says "Russia need to score to go through"

Gimme a clue where to find him plzz!

Pics of self?

60k in the middle on a  Ac 7c 8c  4h board
Lee Fenn bets 35k, Stephen Holden puts him all in for 110k
Fenn looks down at  Ad Aspades and says "ahhhh, ok lets gamble
Holden has  Jc Tc, flush holds as Fenn is out

Hey you don't need to be a stunner yourself to identify whether someone is good looking or not - look at Bruce Forsyth judging Miss world ;)

Currently sat next to the chip leader. Confirmed nice guy.

Also gtfo all the valets are incred.

Anyway, there's already a pic of me on this thread: Smashed Again posted one up earlier.

70k in the middle on  Kd 9s 2d
Martin Seider gets it in - for a lot of chips
Wadey calls for his tourney life
Seider -  Ad Ahrt
Wadey -  Qd 4d
This the biggest pot of the day, about 400k in the middle
Brick brick, Wadey out, Seider up to about 700k - possibly new chipleader

Martin Seider started today on 40K. He's pretty happy now on 700K.

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PdZuKgNdH3w/T9zwJ7plSuI/AAAAAAAAaH0/iyVJuZHXpW0/s720/038.JPG)

Sorry Caroline, he was somewhere in the top tier, second or third table from the left, he was sitting in seatno:5

Exactly 100k feels nice :)

Should point out Sieder had Aces three times in one orbit, twice consecutively.


That's what they mean by run good.

Pretty disappointed in Russell he said one pint per level .....just been informed he has missed one wtf if I knew this I would of joined ...lightweight!

plenty of players yo-yoing - not Lewis Higham
Told me he's been on a high of about 110k, low of 80k
grinding it to Day 2

Mark Briggs is on about 90K.

Up to 111k.

5 limpets at 800/1600 I squeeze it to 8600 with AKo 2 callers.


Flop 10 high 2 spades I open shoved and was called by 8s 9s and ace high held :D

He's just tanked for on a really scary board and then bet 40K into the pot to take it down. His opponent said

"After all that Hollywood I know you must have it"

Matt shows 4 2 off.

Cue another pint.

Get involved with Lynne again .........she only had quads this time ....

Lee.. your ration of winning hands vs Lynne is currently 1:29.

In HER  favour.


When she raises/calls - fold. That's the only advice I can give you mate.

Good advice!

run good? ha

James King 212K, from a start stack of 85K. Steve Holden on 400K. Greek Jack is quietly counting his 480K stack after making a river call with pocket Queens.

His oppo raised pre, then bet a flop of [6s][As] [2h], Jack called.

Turn brought the flush in the form of the [Ks] both players checked, for the OR to bet the [5d] river.

Jack made the call and his Queens were plenty to beat the other guy's pocket sevens.

Jack looks at him and says you know why I called, I called because you checked, you check and I know you have nothing.


I seem to type that sentence every update I ever do where Greek jack is playing.

Onto Level 12. I thought the end was nigh but forgot we actually started on level 2.

However the TD has just announced we are playing 14 levels in total so it's not too bad.

Blinds now 1K/2K ante 300. 111 players remain from 220 but I think we will lose a lot more in this level, ave stack is 163,684 but obviously that's affected by the few monster stacks, so at the other end of the scale, there are plenty of shorties ready to shove.

Nigel Ward gets it in with  Ts Tc
David Statham manages to find  Ac Ahrt and call
Aces hold, Ward out

He's easy Caroline, so don't take any notice.

Also, if Frankie gives you any hassle, just threaten to send for me.  From what I'm told, it's the only time people have ever seen him go quiet. 

Board comes  7h 6d 2d
Anthony Spencer checks, Philip Shaw bets 8k
Spencer announces 20k
Shaw instantly puts Spencer all in for 80k, Spencer sigh calls
Shaw -  Qc 7d
Spencer -  Ad Ahrt
Brick, brick
"I knew I'd catch him!" says Spencer, doubling to about 170k

Cooler central for Mitch Johnson
30k in the middle on  2d Qh 8c 7d
Mitch bets 10k, Dan Brook to 30k
All in from Mitch, snapped by Brook
Mitch -  8h 8d
Brook -  Qc Qd
No one outer, Mitch down to 65k

Girgy now out
tries to get a jam throough Simon Trumper with  9h 7s
However finds himself in very bad shape when Trumper calls with  9d 9c
Girgy left drawing dead on the turn and out

Just roughly worked out what time we believe it will end tomorrow....
6am at the very earliest, but I think it will be more like 7am.

Players on a 15 minute break
Blinds 1,200/2,400/300 when we return, 2 full levels remaining
Average at 178k, 102 remaining

Players going on a break.

My predication wasn't as accurate as I hoped for! We lost nine players in the last level.

How many do you think will be left when we finish tonight?


Simon Trumper now on 226K, despite his nickname he isn't just waiting for Aces, he managed to find a call against Dan Belson when he made a move with his 9 7 off.

Still making a steady climb without too many setbacks.  379k at break.

About 15 players didn't bother showing up at the start of today's game, 105 of them had Golden Chips from winning a 20 handed SNG and it looks like the large majority of these chips are still in play.

Back to the fray, level 13 now.

James King on 294K

I've got the Hopkins & Russell comedy tag team here. Both of them are rat arsed discussing the merits of Go West vs Go West. Apparently no other bands come close.


There's a long pause while both of them stare off into space for a minute, reminiscing about the 90s.


Stu Hopkins - who the more he drinks the more his cheeks turn into rosy red Chucky doll cheeks - says in a really quiet, poignant voice:

"I have a Go west CD in my car. When I play it, it makes me feel really happy..."

Matt has drunk 11 pints at least and I'll give him his due, he's still walking in a straight line and talking. Talking utter bollox but still intelligible bollox.

Sounds like a nice early finish then!

Liam Batey all in with  Ks Ts, called by  7c 7d
He says "can you walk awake please, I lose when you are about"
I said "I'm sure you always win flips when I watch" in a sarcastic manor
obviously the 2nd card out is the  7s
Batey now out

Is it just me or is Girgy actually quite attractive

Sigh.

Fraped by Matt Russell when I left my PC for a minute.

Frankie on the move up
Just flopped a set and is on 450k, building very well during the last few levels

Seriously though if you were going to get fraped can you think of anyone better. What an incredible stud.

Caroline stood next to me and watched you lol

Yep. Busted Mr Russell. Now move away from the laptop.

Sheriff Fatman now back to 360K after a slight accident, as he put it.

Not far from him is a table Ive been calling the Cocoon table since 2.30pm. Every player is of retirement age, they all started the day with low stacks but are all still here, with even lower stacks after folding round for ten hours.

Sigh

just sent a pm to Caroline expressing a mutual feeling?

Nope. It was the noise he always makes when thinking about me.

85 players still remaining with 20 minutes left of Level 14. Blinds still on 1500/3000 with an ante of 400. Average stack of 213,752.

It's all happening on MY table.

Booder's come over to tell me about losing a 200K pot (half his stack) when his set was smashed by a higher set on the river. However there's more at stake here.

Hopkins and Russell have had a bet, they're both all in. Matt claims he will marry his current squeeze.

Hopkins is betting Matt will ever actually see her again.

My money is backing Stu Hopkins, as Matt's missus is currently in London with Matt's credit card. GG.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c9rP2nloqLo/T90UR06OXzI/AAAAAAAAaIw/wdCu9krEYt8/s720/002.JPG)

You'll note the cards in the picture belong to Stu. Matt's are all currently in London with his bird.

Suprised they made it here, having to use that Internet poker nonsense

Perhaps if we shine a bright light in their direction they might move, slowly

Blonde member Paul Pitchford has seriously just called 118 118.

"Hello 118 118?"

"Hey, can you put me through to the tit club in Nottingham?"

Give the operator credit, she politely told him she had no listings for those kind of establishments.

Rotty is also out by the way.

Martin Seidel, still chip leader was apprently out last night with Rotty and Paul and they are threatening to publish some dodgy pictures of his escapades if he wins.

Burghardt makes it 5k, Alan Armitage calls.
Trumper to 22k, Burghardt folds, with no hesitation Armitage rejams for 82k
"you want a call" asks Simon "definitely. 100%"
Simon folds, Armitage shows  Jc Tc
"I knew I was always getting you off it"

Alan Armitage says he's been card dead all day.

Doesn't seem to be stopping him though.


Players on a short break now, bacvk in 15 minutes for the last 40  level of the day.

82 left in, av stack 221K. Coming back to 2/4K blinds with a 500 ante.

Simon Trumper now on 290K. He predicts 65 will finish tomorrow.

Matt Russell has just tried to answer his Ipod when he heard his phone ringing. Oddly enough there was no one there.

Players now taking their seats again.

I'm gainfully employed right now googling Flirtz strip club and trying to find out what time they close. Can't possibily say who wants that info.

I am on 72500 started day with 72k

Just given Mitch an inspiratational pep talk. He's been nursing 54K for about 4 levels and I helpfully pointed out he's not the shortest stack. To keep him grounded I pointed out he can also go down, as well as up, which he seemed really grateful for. i think I even saw a little tear of gratitude in his eye.

Paul Brown has just moved tables. As he sat down and started unracking his still immense stack of chips. Mark James on his table says "Been busy mate?" Nope replies Paul, I just lost 400K.

I'm not sure Mark believes him, think he thinks he's being rubbed down.

Tim Wright makes it 8k, called by a player.
James Robert Turner to 47k which I thought was unusually large, rejams from Wright putting him all in for 130k.

after putting 1/3 of his stack in feels he has to call
Turner -  Ad Qs

9's look set to hold up until the  Ts river, up to over 100k

Lee the Fish gets it in for about 80k with  Ahrt Kd

10's hold

I've just had to threaten to hurt Matt Russell and put him out of the club if he didnt leave by his own free will.

He's gone, leaving a trail of half drunk drinks on the table, but unfortunately, he didn't forget to pick up his money after the bet with Stu Hopkins.

Left me with nothing but a wet patch and a memory.


Down to 77 players , 17 minutes left before we end play for the day. I really don't see us finishing anytime early on Sunday night.

Hmm.

Lee now at the bar. GG.

My pep talks are da nutz.

Just got in and you are still going strong. Great updates. Sounds like you've had fun.

Just caught up on the golf and Tikay looks like making an absolute mint on his tips thread :)

Steve Holden loses 71K holding QQ vs KK on a nine high flop. He's just under average now.

75 players still here, 7 minutes before we call time gentlemen please.

Spyros with 8 big blinds shoves with  Ahrt 7h
Trumper happy to call blind from the big blind with  5c 2c
Sure enough Spyros left drawing dead on the turn as Simon hits two pair, adding 34k to his stack

It's half past one.

If you've been out at poker it's far too early so you mustn't have won.

If you've been out to a club it's far too early so you must have peaked then puked?

Nick Finn gets it in with  Ad Jc
Called by  7d 7h
7's hold, Finn out with 30 seconds of Day 1 to go

Took step son out. I had 3 pints and spilt one and can't walk , he had 11 and carried me. Happy fathers day Caroline . XXX

That's a rap for Day 1!
74 players remaining for tomorrow play, blinds 2500/5000/500 when we return
Average at 245k, Biggest stack is Paul Brown on about 850k, starting the day as chip leader, Martin Seider not far behind him.
Full chipcounts will be uploaded to http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/result-info.php?id=2844 overnight

that's not good because before you said he was 8 n 1/2 out of ten and defo would :£

It's goodnight from me and goodnight from him.

you really don't want to see the commotion that happened when we got to said establishment :(

was all ok thougb because at least Mr Pitchford didn't get thrown out of Alea for being ****faced, actually when I said he didn't get thrown out that may not be entirely correct
