Scottish Dave first man out - re-raises allin v the Machine with his  6h 8c, Machine doesn't dwell long before calling with  Ahrt Kc .

4 Clubs on the board means Machine's got Callaways, Dave's got a discount 2nd hand set of Titelist - out clubbed!!!

Geist takes out Granny D - Granny D all-in wih 66 - call by Geist with A6 - A on the flop & no 6. Geist into next round.

Thanks for the updates Rod  :)up

DJ Denim eliminates Lazaroonie - Laz allin preflop with 86 - call J9, flop 8 7 4, turn 6 river 5 - 2 straights - 9 takes it.

No bother - some updates are Tank (the bad spelling will give them away ;) )

People dropping fast and furious - Round 1 is over.

Canuck, Damon, Mark Sloan (Epic67 online) and G Kearns (Bhoywonder) through (eliminating Boba Fett) - Haven't a clue the hands - all happenined in about 30 seconds.

Side bet - £20 between Damon and Cambo - Damon dishing rubdowns before the first shuffle is done

Rod see at the top of the page whats the total time it says youve been logged into blonde-must be months- the last 2 times I was in I was tryin to check my account but couldnt figure out how log out of yours (u werent even in CinCins by the way)

There's been a problem in here (had to clear histories & cookies) -  a few have been perma-logged in at times. As long as you didn't land me in it it's OK ;)

I reckon it'll only be an hour or 2 out of my 22 days odd

Fantastic! Looks like a good fun day

A few others have come in to support (others like Scottish Dave have paid & played even if they couldn't make the trip  :)up ).

Good natured although the Cambo Damon match is a bit noisy - Damon's now in a big lead with Cambo down to 1500 chips (5000 starting stack).

Cambo out, ended up needing an 8 on the river - Damon as dealer sticks it to his head without looking at it - goes "Is it a f**king 8? - IS IT!!!" it was  5h and the rubdown continues  rotflmfao - the £20 side bet has gone into the P4C contribution for the day as well - so well done guys!!!

DJ Denim eliminates G Turner - hit full house on last hand.

Newmanseye  ;fish; takes out David Barry with 55 v AK - no A no K - Billy through.

Machine is about 8K to 2K up on Canuck.

Machine takes out Canuck - gets Damon in the next round - Damon's dishing the pre-game rubdown already  :D

Damon could take this down?

How owuld Team GB handle him if he gets the place?

Never here the end of it  :D :D :D

Gary your world cup bet looks safe against me- Larsson will score a barrowload against T & T -theyre getting humped 3-0 off the czechs- but remember- if Prso and Larsson are level(including if neither score) ur £50 is all mine mine mine muhahahaha ;ifm; (prso's no even startin in their friendly so I dont know if he'll get a game)

Chirping contest  - Flushy, Kev &  Damon :)

A few Blondeites out now - Bazzaboy, Canuck, Dark Horse and Fergus8,  & Geist,  Blondeites dropping like flies...

Well done to Machine, he played a great game and deserved the win.

To be fair though, I shouldn't have been through the first round.

I go all in with  7h 7d called by J Kearns with  Js Jd

   Flop -  3c 7c Jc

  Turn -  7s     ;scarymoment;

  River....no help for J Kearns

PS - I checked cardplayer.com...I had a 4.34% chance of winning after the flop.  :D

 :blonde: Forgot to say weel done to cincins and in paticular Tank and Rod for organising everthing, had a good time for a good cause.

I thought I'd gone deaf - but apparently Damon's lost the first few hands to the Machine   ;goodvevil;

game of grinders.....

good stuff! How many of the remaining players are blondes?

Is Tank not playing or did he get humped out?

How about you Rod?

Machine (doesn't post much though), and Bhoywonder - in the semis.

DJ Denim is another non-posting Blondeite.

Potentiall 3 Blondeites in the semis (Bok Alert!!)

Tank & I were organising.

Good stuff, wish evreyone luck for me please! May the best Scot win!

Good luck to Bhoywonder who put me out in the last 16 in the longest head up match ive been in. Think it took about an hour and 10 mins for it to finish.

Also like to thank Tank and Rod for running this as was fun.

well

I'm back in the house

so you know what that means...lol

out in the semis..trying to push my stack around like a total nugget

but gl to the finalists....

I had a great time and as u know ....it was for chariteeeee

nice to meet a few fellow blondites too

right i need a kip been up since 5am..and really i couldnt focus in the end

Sorry the updates kinda stopped there.

As the quarters came to a close, Rod's presence was required in a satellite (in which he won - £200) so at least he didn't desert his post for nowt  :D

I couldn't update as there was a dodgy ruling to made, thereafter I needed to keep a much closer eye on things.

The winer was blondes own DJ Denim. Having won all 5 of his matches (no bye for him in the first round) without any dodgy rulings necessary.

He is delighted to have won. I think he's a great heads up player, ideally suited to the format. I have every confidence that he will represent Scotland/Great Britain with pride.

We raised £443 at the end of the day, many thanks to all.

Would give more detail, but I'm out on the piss with the boys.

Well done DJ Denim aka George Mcintosh. 8)

Very well done, and welcome to the team George!

Congrats DJ  ;applause;

well done tank and rod for organising the event.  :cheers: ;applause; :cheers:

Ang xx

Cheers tank and rod thx for that

Seems agreat day was had by (almost) all. Well done to Thomas and Rod who organised, promoted the event and ran it for absolutely no gain whatsoever, indeed the seat that was played for was originally given to Thoomas personally by James. Thomas decided (very unselfishly) that more could be done with the seat  ;applause;.

The day was so successful that I have been approached to organise ICHUC Scottish, Welsh and English Championships. Would love to put them on, however not 100% sure at the moment. Will need to give it some thought.

Very big thanks to Damon and everyone at CinCins  ;applause; ;applause; *g *g *g *g *g

This all bodes very well for the Scottish team in the forthcoming 4 Nations event. Indeed with many getting carried away saying that it will be England or Ireland that will run out the victors, I have a sneaking suspicion that Scotland and Wales will have a big say in where the trophy ends up.

With only one more 'qualification seat'  up for grabs we have a line up that can certainly win in Dublin.

Colchester Kev - Norkway - Team Manager
James Dempsey - Brighton - Captain
Jen Mason - Blondeville - Vice-Captain (ie Tells Kev and James what to do!)
Tony Chessa - Glasgow - Chief of Security
Richard Ruddling-Smith - Cardiff - Head of Food & Beverages
JP Kelly - Luton - Prefect
Clothy - Wigan - BlueSq Qualifier #1
Belsize007 - London - BlueSq Qualifier #2
George McIntosh - Glasgow - CinCins Qualifier

Thanks to everyone who has supported ICHUC so far  ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

Excellent work by the Cincin's boys ...  looking forward to seeing everyone in Dublin ... :)

i'd just like all the guys at cin cins for the great day. looking forward to dublin. may my luck continue.

Welcome and see you soon!
