blonde poker forum

Welcome back to Walsall folks. Since we're now down to four tables, there's enough for Snoops and myself to snugly fit inside the cardroom today rather than be on the cusp. In fact Snoopy says, "there's enough room to swing a cat."

The poker players are being asked to make their way to the cardroom so we shall be beginning very shortly.

Can you post the pay outs when known?

Good luck RED, and all the other blondes/dtd's left battling

 :hello: Snoops & floppsy

Good Luck Blondeites still in

First off, I'd just like to say that I don't advocate cat-swinging. Don't do it kids, no good can come of it.

Secondly, here are a few piccies to set the scene pre-final.

The first is of the empty tables, eagerly awaiting the remaining 38 players. (pretty exciting, huh?!)

The second is our workstation, which is strangely more spacious than anything I've been accustomed to before.

Finally, the third snap is of Buzz Lightyear's healthy 121k stack, which he pretty much won in one scoop midway through last night.

Here's a picture of Red and Malcolm during the calm before the storm. I'll get a copy of the pay-out structure shortly. They're racing for the 100 chips at the moment meaning that soon, all the chippy counts that me and snoopy did last night will be hideously out of date. Such is life.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Blinds are now 1k/2k. Average stack 41.8k. 38 Left.

 :hello: :hello: Hey gang,

Looks like i've missed a good comp. Good luck to all the blondes left in 8)

And here's you chip leader Iwan Jones with the biggest stack he'll see at this stage for a long time to come. Unfortunately, most of them are due to the chip race that just took place.

Anyhow, the voice from above announces 'SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL" and we're off.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Here are your overnight chip-counts.

Come on folks, top three predictions please.

That includes you bookie-basher!

Table 1:

J Conlan -- 32,400
L Hirons -- 8,700
P Moss -- 26,500
R Rudling-Smith -- 20,300
Dan Samson -- 41,200
John Shipley -- 41,800
Alan Armatige -- 52,4000
Kevin Price -- 41,400
Ian Woodley -- 33,500


Table 2:

N Whiten -- 24.8k
J Osbourne -- 104.5k
N Potts -- 16.3k
T McCready -- 34.8k
R Yong -- 42.2k
S Rutter -- 48.5k
E Katzi -- 22k
M Wernick -- 34.4k
S Nowab -- 67.1k
P King -- 43.8k



Table 3:

P Singleton -- 12k
C Cronin -- 80.5k
J Falconer -- 16.k
A Mallu -- 71.5k
A Goldie -- 48k
D Sami -- 17.6k
N Allen -- 44.8k
M Irvine -- 32.4k
S Jelinek -- 88k


Table 4:

Ed Arees -- 26,200
Iwan Jones -- 121,000
P McFadden -- 40,800
O Ayegun -- 8,800
A Saberi -- 50,400
A Johnson -- 47,900
P Dobson -- 24,500
R Mulla -- 66,000
M Libertini -- 45,400

And we're a man down already.

L Hirons is out.

Rudders raised 10.5k preflop with A-Q, Hirons called with pocket tens, after long deliberation.

But being so short-stacked he felt he had to make the call.

Coin-flip, but Hirons received the worst of it when a Queen hit the flop.

His final reasoning was that he probably wouldn't get a hand much better than that and would potentially be blinded away, so made the call.

How about:

Iwan Jones
Rob Yong
Red Dog

And that first exit puts Richard Rudling-Smith up to 31k.

"That's more hands than I played in five hours of play yesterday", he chirped.

On a  Aspades Ks 6s 9d 3s board, Rob Yong bets 5k into a 20k+ pot against Stu Rutter, Rutter eventually calls, the Yongsta shows  7s 8c which is good... I think stuart had two pair on the flop or something....

Elsewhere O Ayegun is OUT, he moved with  Ac Ts, Iwan Jones held  Ad Qd but Martino Libertini had  Kd Kh which took a big pot.

top 3
Con Cronin
Simon Nowab
Iwan Jones

Dazzling Con Cronin starts off the day in dazzling form with a 15-20k pot.

With a board of 4d 4c Ahrt 3c 9c, Con's 4k bet finds a caller and he confidently flips over Ad Kh. His non-believing opponent mucks.

J Conlan takes out Ian Woodley, all the chips went in on a  Jh Aspades 4c Td flop,

Woodley held Ac 9s but Conlan had  Jh Jc leaving Woodley drawing dead.

Here's our second elimination of the day, Buddy, resigned to the rail, but still in good spirits.

This guy's only been playing for a couple of years, but he's already making some good headway with a few nice cashes. Run into some bad luck this year, but he's highly rated and ought to win a big event in the near future.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Screams of 'Go on the Shrew!' from Chubbs.

Flopsy's on his way.

Elias Katzi is out to the Yongsta

Katzi  Ks Js

Yongsta  Ac 4c

Board helped neither.

They're dropping like flies here.

Now Burnely John's bitten the dust.

Pocket snowmen versus D 'Magic' Sami's Ace Jack, which paired up on both accounts.

Incidentally, John wasn't too chuffed with his 'This is why you shouldn't you do drugs, kids'

So, watch out Mr A Anonymous from England.

The reason for Simon's scream?

Nick 'Smither's Witten doubles up with A-8 v A-T, 8 on the flop.

Unfortunately, he was only on 5k at the time.

Why was he on 5k.

Ran Jacks into those dreaded Bullets (pow pow)

(http://www.programmers-progress.com/images/bullets.jpg)

Nick 'The Shrew' in double double-up news now, down to 5k he spiked an eight when his A8 was behind to AT. And just now he's double up to about 20k now when his AJ beat Chubbs' KJ.

Rudders takes a few chips off Dan Samson.

8-6 v 7-5 on an 8-6-K-3-4 board.

Thanks for the Great updates

Good Luck to the DTD Crew

Is Kev there on rail duty?

Regards

M

Prize structure:

1st = £38,100
2nd = £23,300
3rd = £13,600
4th = £9,900
5th = £6,600
6th = £5,000
7th = £3,700
8th = £3,200
9th = £2,600

What do you lot think about the structure?

I caught sight of an article by Lucy Rokache in this month's CardPlayer Europe in which she slated the idea of a flatter structure. Did anyone else read that? Thoughts? I genuinely disagreed with the majority of what she said.

Kev was here at 2pm, but I haven't seen or heard from him in a while. He's seems to be keeping pretty quiet today, which is unusual. Give him time...

This is the ever-dangerous Ali Mallu leading a Krypton Factor-esque (remember that show?) line-up.

Can't believe they gave the women a headstart in the obstacle race, talk about sexism!!

This is the table you want to be on if you're looking for entertainment.

Chubbs, Yongsta, Smither, Kings, and RED-DOG. All having a hoot and making this a fun day.

I'm a bit disappointed that Tom doesn't have his big RED-DOG sitting on his cards though as a card protector. Bah!



[attachment deleted by admin]

Paul Singleton is OUT AK vs 77. No help.

Flop = 9s 4c 8s

Stuart Rutter bets 2k, Paul King folds.

Turn = Stuart bets 4.5k

'Hmm,' mulls Paul King, before showing a seven and passing.


Meanwhile, Chubbs highlights a fingers in the till job for RED. Tom raised his blind with 8-9, Chubbs reraises and RED-DOG says, 'I can't call and shows his eight high'.

I said, 'one finger in the till, another in the cookie jar, eh Tom?'

'I can't afford both a till and a cookie jar...'

snoops is danny workin

Ed Arees just doubled through Paul Dobson with Kings against Jacks.

Dobsons was completely down to the felt and shortly went out  with KT against Q3 which hit a full house.

Meanwhile Snoops has some interesting news about someone, I won't say who, but this picture is a clue.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Dani not working.


RED-DOG has doubled up with Aces v N Potts' pocket ladies.

Ace on turn was somewhat emphatic.

thanks m8

R Mulla -- 59.5k
Kevin Price -- 49k
John Shipley -- 28k
E Arees -- 69k
A Johnson -- 46k

So please tell us


how many left?

blinds?

average stack?

RED DOG's stack?


ta.

Big double up for you now!

N Potts finds Kings and takes a big bite out of Rob Yong's stack who had A-J off.

Unfotunately, after taking a hit off RED in the Queens v Aces hand, he's still only on a slightly vulnerable 2k.

Seated in a row...

Stuart Rutter -- 111.5k
Simon Nowab -- 63k
Paul King -- 46k

The Shrew doubles up again!!! This time with with AK against Norman Pott's Jacks.

Norman Potts is now OUT. His 33 got beaten by Stu Rutter's Q2 which hit trip two's


Micky Wernick -- 35k

rutter will win this comp very gd player

30 left. Avg Stack. 53k. Red tells me he has about 41.5k. Blinds are 1.5k/3k for the next 50 minutes.

And now Paul King's OUT in rather 'up the bum' circumstances.

Battle of the blinds:

Chubbs had big slick, Paul pocket cowboys.

Ace on river.

"Hard luck, Paul' consolidated RED-DOG.

"Used to it Tom, used to it," replied a despondent King.

great updates again guys... good to see stu rutter doing so well...

Con Cronin -- 109k
Dan Samson -- 43k
D Sami -- 21k
Fatmarra -- 18.5k

Ed Arees bets 5.5k into a 22k pot.

Tom Clarke folds his A-9.

Cmon peeps, top 3 predictions.

Don't be shy.

brilliant, thanks...plenty of play then for RED


Stuart Rutter is "easypickings" on blonde. tikay for one rates him v highly


My top 3


Nowab
Iwan Jones
Wernick


Really going out on a limb there.....

Steve Jelinek -- 92k
Tom Clarke -- 36k
N Saberi -- 52k
Nick Whitten -- 39.5k
Alan Armatige -- 31k

Hi guys can we have a Iwan update?
Jacko Mr 10% self proclaimed king of the crash school wants to know

heres my top 3

Stu rutter
Iwan Jones
simon nowab

Top 3:

Wernick
Jelineck
RED-DOG

TOP 3 in no particular order.


Whiten.

Yong.

Nowab.

A DTD top 3 would be rather amusing. A final table of 9 Blondes would be rather good too. Or anyone from the Tangerine capital. Cmon Blackpool boys if any r left.

Yogi

Pretty chunky pot

J-2-6-A board

Ali Mallu bets, Saberi moves all-in, Ali passes.

"You're a very clever man," compliments Saberi before showing an Ace.

Chubbs is providing the banter on a 'lively' table.

And below that is 'The Legend and Fattermara - apologies for it being slightly dark, my flash is playing tricks.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Flop = Ad 3c 5h

Mickey bets 5k, Fatmarra makes it 10k, The Worm folds, Fatmarra shows A-3 off.

Iwan Jones -- 65k

I think the majority of that loss was that AT vs AQ vs KK earlier.

He's halved his stack down to 66k, unfortunately for Welsh fans.

Big hit was A-Q v K-K.

Claims that all his raises are being reraised.

give mick my luck snoops

28 left
Average Stack = 56,800
Blinds = 1,500/3,000

Jones
Dog
Yong

mulla
jelinek
shipley

Can anybody tell me how many EDD Aris has in chips?

tom's grinding away.

13k pot

T-5-A-J board

4k bet

Con Cronin folds

There's a bit of 'banter' going on between Cronlin and Simon Nowab, straight after, Chubbs raises Cronlin's blind and Cronlin passes exposing a jack.

Ed Aris has around 40k I believe.

I'm going for...

Adam Goulding
Con Cronin
Rob Yong
Ed Arees

Is Woody Deck still in?



Memories, from the corner of my mind........

Dog
Yong
Con

i take a bet on dazzling con  he will win any 1 wants to lay him?

John Shipley is OUT. 54 was no good vs Joe Conlan's pocket aces. (pow pow!)

I'll lay con, what price you want? He is nuts with chips but a bit to nuts in my opinion.

Just to prove he's here, say hello to 'Pies'.

Why he's rubbing his nipples I'll never know.

Some people are aroused by the slightest of things.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Is he an Oriental fella? I think he's out.

I dealt to Con in several satellites this week


Fearless, plays any two, raises with any two, calls re-raises with any two....had us all scratching our heads


Personally, I think he won't be patient enough to hold on to his chips to the end and someone will catch him

That said, no one did in those sats to get him into this

We'll see

He hit the deck early on.

You can have up to £100 @ 5/1 if you want it?

stu rutter

mickey w

and yongsta

Colchester Kev here ..... Dog Yong Con ... thats what i had for tea last night at the local Korean restuarant

who  r u?

After raising to 10k, Nick the Shrew was re-raised all-in by the big blinds, after a long dwell he eventually passed, albeit reluctantly.

What would happen to the bet if there is a deal ?

Con Cronin raises Fatmarra's flop saying, 'I'm gonna raise your blind cos I don't like you, I remember you from Nottingham."

"I've never played at Nottingham," replies a bemused Fatmarra.

Table laughs, Con apologises, Fatmarra concedes his blind.

Big pot developed between Iwan Jones, Simon Nowab and Andy Johnson, on a board of  4d Td 9s Qc, Iwan bets 35k and takes the pot down.

Meanwhile, Nick W told me he folded pocket tens to the re-raise from the big blind who told me he had pocket jacks.

You don't know me but i'm good for the bet if you want it. Snoopy will confirm i'm ok, i hope?


Not sure karabiner, any suggestions?

Table 4:

Joe Conlan -- 125k
Mickey Wernick -- 31k
Fatmarra -- 20.5k
Richard Rudling-Smith -- 25.5k
Stuart Rutter -- 61k
Robert Yong -- 97k
Con Cronin -- 149k
Alan Armatige -- 28.5k
Kevin Price -- 48k

ok     i owe u 20 if he doesnt win u  owe 100 if he wins split counts whe gets more money wins ok?

Break time.

Next level will be 2000/4000

Noflops is just collating the chip counts for the other two tables.

Watch this space.

That makes the bet a bit sweeter for you.

If he gets the most from a split i'll pay out at 7/2 if he doesn't go on to win outright, if he does go on to win outright i'll pay out at 5/1.

If this suits then consider your bet laid.

Based on a 4 way split max, any more players in the chop and bet is void.

Irvine is OUT.

Crashed (ahem) Ace King into Ali Mallu's Pocket Rockets

Table 3

N Saberi -- 61k
Dan Samson -- 25k
J Osborune -- 23k
Ali Mallu -- 180k
Red Dog -- 35k
N Allan -- 43k
Irvine -- 27k
Steve Jelinek -- 56.6k

Table 4

Ed Arees -- 28.5k
Iwan Jones -- 103k
Mateyboy -- 43.5k
Simon Nowab -- 78.5k
Tom Clarke -- 50k
A Johnson -- 44k
Nick Whiten -- 27k
R Mulla -- 70k
M Libertini -- 75k

Alan Armitage is a victim of Cronlin's  9s 6s which spiked against KJ and is OUT.

Fattermarra is OUT, he ran AQ into Kevin Price's AA.

And just a few hands later, Ali Mallu stumbles across Aces again (!!)

And he finds a customer, again (!!)

N Saberi raises preflop.

Ali Mallu moves all-in from the button.

Saberi calls and flips Ahrt Kc

Flop = Kh 8c Qh

Turn = Ks, River = 3d

OUCH!!!

And Ali received somewhat of a rubdown from Saberi who rose from his chair and cheered, attracting the attention of the whole cardroom.

talk about taking it quietly. hmm

Any more stragglers for the Brian Wilson Pot Limit Challenge on blondepokerleague in 15 mins?

Last week the World Pot Limit Champion destroyed blonde's finest in 55 minutes. This week El Blondie has taken up the challenge to stop him. Let's stop him chirping eh?

Iwan retrieves a few chips from his dwindling stack.

The Welsh wonder raises from the but-off, Tom Clarke flat calls from the big blind.

Flop = 7s 9c Js

Clarke checks, Iwan bets 14k.

Clarke shakes his head and exposes K-Q.

"I knew you had that," comments Buzz as he reveals his A-T

22 warriors (?!) remaining...



[attachment deleted by admin]

Dan Samson is OUT, he held Ad Kd against Steve Jelinek's pocket snowmen, the board looked bad for Samson,  6s 2c 6d and while the  Jd gave him some extra outs the  2s sealed his fate.

And while I was typing that, Kevin Price just doubled through Con Cronlin, Kevin looked in bad shape with AK vs Cronlin's pocket kings but an Ace on the river stopped Cronlin from shooting up to around 250k, instead he's just on about 100k with Price looking strong now on 150k.

Hi Snoops

Please send lots of luck to Iwan.  ;cheerleader;

P.S. Are you updating from Paris??

LOL

A xx

I've been called over to Table 1 by Pro Railer Kev.

Con Cronin flatcalls 4k from early position, Kevin Price raises to 16k, Richard Rudling-Smith moves all-in, Con Cronin folds, Kevin Price calls the extra 8.5k.

On their backs, A-K v A-K.

Flop = 8c Kc 2c

Turn = 3d

River = 3c

OUCH!

Just kidding, neither player had a club, but Rudders had to make a quick check. To red ones though.

Hi

Will do. Sry, I don't know your name though.

Yep, blonde will be there. I need a quick rest after this, gonna be a long one tonight.

Tikay and Jen will be there, however. I'll be replaced the ol fella and rejoining forces with Jen on Wednesday.

Are we going to see you at one of these events?

A Johnson is OUT. Mulla raised and Johnson pushed

Johnson:  Jc Jd

Mulla:  Ac Ts

Board:  Qc Qh Ad Kc 7c

Hiya

It's Anna (Nick Gibson's better half  :D ) - I won't be in Paris, but Nick has flown out today with Bullit Pete and Foxy

Fireworks on Yongsta's table...

Rob Yong raises to 12k from the button.

Con Cronin makes it 40k on the small blind.

Deep in thought, Yongsta comments, 'I know my hand is good.'

'I know your hand is good, you know it's good. Cmon, you're making me nervous,' replies the Dazzler.

Then, in a rather amusing moment, the dealer points to Con's unlit cigarette and asks, 'are you smoking?!'

To which Mr Cronin responds, 'I've got shoes on my feet but am I walking?!?'

A rib tickler for the audience.

And your number?...














Just kidding, Nick would set his dog on me.  ;hide; ;reallyamsorry;

J Osbourne is OUT, his A8 looked in good shape against Steve Jelinek's A5 until a pesky 5 came on the flop to send him home.

4 short-stackers...

Nick W -- 29.5k
Ed Arees -- 24.5k
Neil Allan -- 36.5k
Richard Rudling-Smith -- 19.5k

Anyone fancy trying an attempted bok for the next exit?

One of those, Ed Arees, who won in Cardiff earlier on in the year, raises under the gun. Goes uncontested.

Board = 9h Qd 3c 2s

Saberi bets 22k

Ali Mallu calls instantly.

both checked the rag river.

Ali wins with pocket tenbeats J-9.

How is Red Dog doing now snoops?

You've got the acknowledged bokking world champion updating with you......

Rudders survives.

Moves his short-stack in from the small blind.

Stuart Rutter folds 9-7 from the small, although he appeared to be pretty tempted.

Big hand news now!

Firstly Mickey Wernick is OUT.

He moved with  Ad Qd against Stuart Rutter's  Js Jc

Flop:  Ts Qs 3s

Turn:  9c  (oo-er)

River:  Ks giving Stuart the straight and the flush

And at the same time, Red Dog has doubled up!!!

Ali Mallu raised with  Tc 5c and Red Dog moved all in. Tom had them bullets again (keee-pow!) and the 5-7-K-8-K board gives the blondeite a much needed double up.

Blinds going up in 2 minutes.

19 players left.

1 more and we're down to 2 tables.

that thing bou con cronin is funny that guy is funny lmfao

BREAKING NEWS...

Rob Yong is our only remaining inverted chair sitting player.

Incredible.

You heard to here first, folks.

[attachment deleted by admin]

A rather cheerful Tom Clarke and his 41k stack.

Bleech chum Julian Adamson lingering in the background.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Jacko wants to know about Iwan???

Here are the three remaining tables:

Ok it's now two tables because Simon Nowab just took out P McFadden with AK vs 44 on a K-T-2-2-Q board.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Steve Jelinek -- 82.5k

Steve plays quite a few of these events, included some on the European tour, but doesn't always get the mentions that he warrants.

So, time to catch up.

To be honest, it was mainly because I've only just learnt how to spell his name correctly.




[attachment deleted by admin]

Julian are u playing the £50 k on Crypto tonight

Iwan Jones -- 108k, he's now got Chubbs to his right and a slightly short Rudders to his left.

Good stuff chaps.
I disagree about Con, he plays the big stack very well and is untiltable (is that a word) and can be damn near unplayable at times.
He picked up £22k in the last festival too, he is the real legend at Walsall, you either love him or you hate him, i LOVE him!!!
Say high to him from ginge please.

no chap,
i'm giving up online & am off out for a pizza & a very cold drink or 2

Chubbs raises to 20k (blinds 3k/6k), Cronin folds in the SB, Mulla folds in the BB. Simon shows the  2c

no probs mate see you soon. Good Luck... Aspades Kh             v                   Ahrt Qd                           lol

Nick 'Smithers' Whitten is OUT.

Raised all-in under the gun with A-Q. RED-DOG called from the big blind with A-K of clubs.

No help.

Am I too late for a prediction?

1 Ali Mallu
2 Steve Jelinek
3 Simon Nowab

All the best players learnt their trade in Salford!

Are you sure.

I've seen Con tilt many a time.

Today, however, he seems to be holding himself together pretty well.

AAAAAAYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

For Red

I think his flaw is that he tends to chase too much, if he loses a pot or someone nicks his blind he wants it back quickly.
It can look like tilt but it's not.

Table 2:

N Saberi -- 101,500
Ed Arees -- 38,000
Tom Clarke -- 33,000
Ali Mallu -- 209,000
M Libertini -- 48,000
RED-DOG -- 99,500
Neil Allan -- 44,000
Steve Jelinek -- 77,500

 :D

I played last night and thought it was a great competition, with a good clock and plenty of chips. Unfortunately for me l wasn't interested in playing poker after the England game. Walsall should be praised for this week, it was great....................

Cracking call from Yongsta.

Board = 5d Ts 2h 8h Kc

Joe Conlan bets 31k into a 40k pot.

Rob manages to make the call.

Joe = Ad Jc

Rob = 7d 8c

High five with Chubbs.

theres only 1 winner IWAN "codeyed"JONES  WATCH OUT FOR THE FONZ ed aris very good short stack player AND HES WELSHISH also richard rudders smith ask rudders is there a flush out there ????i love trapping him 4 times with that old chestnut hehe he falls for it everytime .gl to all especially the welshys thnx for updates snoops

Cronlin is VERY entertaining, well I think so.

I just watched him raising in 2nd position to 16k declaring that Stuart Rutter had raised his blind 16 or 17 times today and he wanted to get some back. It's folded round to Stu who mucks his 7c 4h face up. Cronlin shows  7h 2h to the entire table. Rutter may regret passing such a monster when he was dominating... ::)

Just saw that M well played, i also noticed that Mr Chirp himself went out second :D

                     the first time i played with con he announced that anyone raise his blind hes moving all in so i waited and trapped him lol and took him out of the midland masters 5 hands later also that guy devilfish lol ,160 runners he was very entertaining and said if i got to the final he would get a job well i did get to the final, but i know hes still not working lol hes a nice guy very very entertaining tikkay and a few others on our table was sad to see him go i wish him luck he can play you know he won the grand prix in 2004  or 2003 not sure but i think players like him are great for the gam gl you old dog lol

Praise silence for the real RED-DOG that Magnum been impostering for all this time.

Those hands look mighty human-like though.



[attachment deleted by admin]

iwan just rang and said he got 150k just to let jacko know hehe

And here's the fella who's been entertaining the crowd...

Dazzling Con Cronin from Smethick.



[attachment deleted by admin]

GET A JOB     lol gl you old dog

Best of luck to all except RED DOG (REVERSE BOCKING) Fingers crossed!!  8)

And here's your chip leader Mr Ali Mallu.

He looks so innocent too.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Neil Allan bets 16k from trap 2, Steve Jelinek moves all-in, Neil Allan reluctantly fold after shaking his head in frustration, opponent shows ladies.

There's something happening every few hands with a lot of short stacks so I'm trying to grab multiple snippets at once. F

First Iwan Jones raised to 16k from the cut-off before eventually folding when Stu Rutter moved all-in for 41.5k more.

Ed Arees has doubled up with AA vs T9 but he's still very short.

Also, Rudders has doubled up to 28k with 99 vs Mulla's A4 in the BB.

Right, once more into the breach dear friends...

17 players left. 93.5k average stack. And we'll be shortly getting some chip counts for you.

Neil Allen doubles through Ali Malu

Allen: 9s 9d

Malu:  Kh 4s

Board:  Ahrt 6h 7h  8c 6s and Allen survives.

 BLUFE    CHOP THE E DOWN LOOKS LIKE BLUFF   ITS CHEAP £5K FOR THE PLATE AND TRANSFER IM FED UP WITH EVERYONE THINKS IM BLUFFING ALL THE TIME

Tom Clark exited just before the break.

He was shortstacked and found an up and down straight draw with T-9 on a J-8-4 flop. Ed Arees had Aces, which held up.

SNOOPS HIS NAME IS ED ARIS M8 LOL oh yes i have a ford cortina 995 lol and a lawnmower used once needs good home

correction, he had his man outchipped, but not by much.

He's only got a couple of big blinds in him.

hi guys,great updates.ive just got in so im catching up

Yeah, I thought it looked odd.

The official player list must have made a bit of a booboo here.

My 3

Red
Iwan
mallu
woody deck

King Ali Mallu
Simon Nowab
Buzz Lightyear

Tom Clarke is OUT, with over 1/3 of his chips in the BB, he pushed in versus a raises without looking at his cards, Libertini had raised and called the all-in with pockets Jacks, no help came for Clarke who had 10,4 leaving us with 16 players left.

Rob Yong has stolen........




Snoopy's chewing gum!!!

Libertini is taking liberties now. (well, sort of, just wanted to use that phrase)

raised preflop with aces

called by Mulla in the bb with K-Q

Mulla pushes on king high flop

Libertini calls

No bad beat

Libertini doubles through

Ali Malu is still in major blind stealing mode, he just took Steve Jelinek's, Jelinek shows an ace before passing, Malu shows an ace before taking the pot. Bizarre that people show there ace either way, much more interesting to show the deuce with it I think. ::)

While I wrote that Mulla is OUT, he raised on the button from Queens, only to face a re-raise all-in from Steve Jelinek in the small blind who was waaaaaaaaaay behind with pocket sixes. But a six came on the flop and Jelinek moved waaaaaaaaaaaaay in front. No help for Mulla who is out in 15th.

M Libertini (who sounds like an Italian footballer) is OUT.

Board = 4c Ts Ahrt Ad

All monies went in within seconds.

Jelinek = Td Th

Libertini = Ac Qc

No queen or four on river.

Rudders doubles thru Rob Yong KK vs 44. No help for either.

Here's Steve Jelinek (Jellyneck sounds much better) with his new found fortunes.

He looks kinda suprised himself with his 325,000 stack.





[attachment deleted by admin]

Jelinek just took a scratch, he called an all in with AT vs a short-stacked Saberi's A9, a 9 came on the flop though and Saberi has some breathing room.

Undeniable proof that the Poker 425 interviews are scripted... well, nick's at least.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Ali Malu is up to 260k now, he just took a big pot off Steve Jelinek on a  2d 4d 8s flop, after Malu bet 16k into a 40 to 50k pot, Jelinek quickly folded and Malu showed  Ad Jh.

And after his timely double-up, Rudders has shot up to a much more impressive 167,000.

Meanwhile, Iwan is quietly complaining about the structure and the 4,000/8,000 blinds. With several players hovering around the 60/70k mark, he reckons it's turned into a crapshoot unnecessarily.

what!!! tell buzz to buzz off
does he expect it to last until infinity and beyond ?

Now I am confused I thought Mallu busted out in 15th??

Mulla busted out, not Mallu. (note the strategic placement of the letter 'a' ;))

Stu Rutter is OUT, he pushed for 37k with A8 but Joe Conlon pushed behind him for 36k with AJ, leaving him with just a single chip. Next hand he managed to make that single chip become two when he had A8 again in the BB versus Rudder's K7, the two 1k chips didn't become 4 though because Rudders hit a full house with QJ. The bubble is looming on the horizon. I can't even eat my burger because as soon as I try, something happens on the tables!

Con Cronin has gone very queit of late.

The blinds are eating him up at a rapid rate.

He's currently struggling with just 52k.

How is Mr Dog getting on now?

Any chance of a chippy cound in descending orer chaps?  :D

Big Pot on Red-Dog's table tough not involving the Dogster.

K Price  Qh Qd

N Allon  Aspades Qc

Flop  9h 8h 3s

Turn Js

River  Ahrt

Ouch. Even I felt that one. Price is down to the felt.

A few nervous faces now as we approach the final.

Neil Allan moves all-in.

All fold.

Allan survives.

Red is a bit short, he's got 50k, been anted away a little.

C. Cronlin is OUT

The Yongsta put him all-in from the SB with  Kd 9d and Cronlin quickly called with  Ad Qh

Board  Kc 7s 6h 9c Th and one of our early chip leaders is out.

And here is the final image of your 13th place finisher...



[attachment deleted by admin]

RED-DOG doubles through off Steve Jelinek.

3-3 v A-9

5-4-J-K-Q

Flies... dropping... like

Joe Conlan takes 12th. Looks pretty gutted. Obviously had it heart set on a final table finish.

A-T v A-K

Q-8-6-4-5

SNOOPS will they stop the blinds SOON AS IT DO SOUND A BIT OF A CRAPSHOOT 4k   8k  or will they slow the  clock down ?

And Joe won't be too chuffed with this piccy either...

[attachment deleted by admin]

Ed Arees doubles up though Steve Jelinek AT vs KK on an 10-2-2-A-3 board

Not sure, m8... but they're dropping at an incredible rate.

Naser Saberi is also OUT... in 12th.

A-Q v Ali Mallu's A-K

That's all the locals gone now.





[attachment deleted by admin]

which means...

STOP! BUBBLE TIME!!

[attachment deleted by admin]

N Allon has asked for a saver but Ali Mallu refused.

CMON the welsh 3 in the final that will be a nice result fair doos to my 3 picks lol
iwan jones           "codeyes"
ed aris                "the fonz"
richard smith     "hes just a card rack"


   GL GUYS

Short-stack Ed Arees doubles up through Ali Mallu, his AJ hit on the river of a K-Q-8-9-A against Malu's 73, the latter who has been accumulating chips at a frantic rate throughout the bubble period. Ed Arees immediately apologises to everyone for not ending the bubble period which draws laughs from both tables.

With the final table looming, Ali Mallu is currently chip leader with 430k.

Ali Mallu loves the bubble. Chances of him agreeing to a saver are absolutely zero, and rightly so!

Ed Arees moved all from the SB with  9s Tc and Ali Mallu calls from the BB  Kh 9h

 2d 4c 5h flop looks bleak

 3h turn looks bleaker

 Td river! Wow, a two-outer. Well done to Ed who knew Ali was calling him with ATC but still moved all-in, he's still short but he's fighting.

Red raised from the button, and Steve Jelinek moved all in from the BB. Red dwelt for a while before folding. Jelinek tells him it was a great pass and shows Kings, Red shows the A9.

GOOOOOONE THE FONZ WHATS HE UPTO SNOOPS ALL THE GUYS IN CARDIFF WANTS TO KNOW THE WELSH CHIP COUNTS IF POSSIBLE IWAN ED ARIS AND RICHARD RUDDERS ?THNX M8

Rob Yong raises from the button.

Iwan Jones, at exactly the same time as Steve Jelinek moves in on the other tables, begins a long dwell.

Finally, after RED-DOG folds to Steve, Iwan also releases his hand.

Found out that he had K-Q.

WHATS HAPPEND TO HAND FOR HAND?

Ali Mallu button raises.

Neil Allan moves all-in.

Ali passes.

Still 10 left.

These two hands happened simultaneously.

Ed Aris is still low with 52k.

10 of which is in the big blind.

Iwan Jones is in and out more than a pornstar on forward wind.

He's currently on 108k but is announcing a lot of all-ins.

Yongsta adds to his stack.

A-K v Rudder's A-J

Preflop action, but checked all the way down on a 2-8-7-4-4 board.

Scaredy cats!

Red doubles up news!!!

How's this for a scary board.

 Kc Qd 5c 4c 3c

Red has  Kh Qs

Ali Mallu  3s 5s

Red back up to about 90k I think.

Making your friends look silly news now. Rob Yong moved all in from the SB, forcing Chubbs to dwell before passing his Aspades Ts

The Yongsta shows  9s 3d

Rob has a wry smile of his face.

Ed Aris is the unfortunate bubble boy, finishing the day in 10th position.

He made his swang song with an all-in, for 28k, with Qs 8c

Neil Allan found an ace in the big blind and called the extra 18,000 with Ad 3h

Board = Ahrt 8d 5d 6d Th

"Final!"

Rudders calls with Ac Kd

Board = 7s Ad 4c 9c 5s

Here's a final table picture just before we lost Kevin Price.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Incidentally the blinds are not 4k/8k as I had previously said. Ali Mallu objected to the rollback so instead we're staying on 5k/10k for the next hour before going to 6k/12k.

Steve Jelinek takes down a 60k pot on a  Qd 7s Qc 5s board from Neil Allan

Jelinek shows  7h 7d and says he was wishing Allan had AQ...

Colchester Kev here... there is not much happening, its all raise and pass stuff......The treacle sponge and custard is bloody lovely though. :)

To all guests, sign up for the forum and you'll be able to see all the pictures that Snoopy and myself have taken.

Rob Yong raises RED-DOG's blind.

Tom folds, leaving Rob to reveal 5-2 off.

Flop:  8s 6s 9c

Rob bets, Ali moves all-in, Rob insta-calls.

Malu  8d Ad

Yongsta  9h 9s

Turn is  7s

River  Kd

A huge double up for Rob, making him the chip leader. Snoops is counting his chips now.

Chubbs just raised with 7's before Neil Allan pushed all-in, Simon dwelt for an age before folding, a good decision since Neil showed him Queens.

Simon Nowab is now on 310,000

More Chubbs/Allan action.

Allan raises to 40k, folded round to Simon who re-raises to 100k. Neil thinks for bit before pushing all-in. Simon calls in a split second.

Neil:  8d 8c

Simon:  Kd Kc

Board:  Ac 3c 4s Qc Jd

Allan has about 20k left now.

Meanwhile Ewan Jones (below) pushes all-in and.....everyone folds

[attachment deleted by admin]

Come on Red Dog!!

He could be oding with a wee double up just to keep him safe!

There should be a rule about the maximum size of card protectors......thats just silly    ;)

Yongsta limps under the gun

Chubbs raises

Yongsta dwells

Chubbs banters

Yongsta bites and moves all-in

Chubbs folds

Chubbs showed pocket fours

Yongsta had sixes

It would be sillier if he did comedy dog impressions when he raised


"sausages...raise...woof"


Go on RED, whatever happens, cracking performance by a fine player

flushy is that khazi?

Yep!

He is in the GB HU team aswell.......as it happens there is another player on that table who hopefully will be confirmed tomorrow  :dd:

General Hilarity moment now.

In a pot between Steve and Rob, Rob bets the minimum 12k on a  Qd Ks 7s flop. Jelinek moves all-in, Rob says, "You limped preflop so you must have Kings or Aces, I've only got King six," eventually, reluctantly he calls.

Yong:  Kh 6h

Jelinek:  Kd 6d!

Everyone else: Large amounts of laughter.


Blank turn and river so chop chop.

Tell the boys i'm following them here please Snoops .

Hi to all the blondites.

Late Night Poker was fun , will be a cracker when on Channel 4 in September .

All the best

ACES.

When I played at The Rio last year a guy at my table was the manager of his son's baseball team which had just won the little league baseball world series.

He used the trophy which was about the same size as the European Cup for a card protector.

LMAO

and I assume everyone told him how sensible he was eh Ralph?

 :D

tou should of took a picture of that

Well funnily enough it was a good natured table and nobody complained except a dealer who called a floorman.

The floorman asked if anyone objected but nobody did and the dealer did a bit of a mardy until she moved  :D

RED-DOG announces, 'Raise all-in!'..................

correction.... it's Chubbs rasing Ali all-in.....................

It's gone a bit quiet there Spoony and Floppy, are the Yongsta and Chubbs trying to get the others to deal ?

 ;hide;

called by Ali!!!

tease......

A-K (Simon) versus Q-Q (Ali)

Hi Simon, I've passed your message on to the boys.


Chubbs has doubled up!!!


Ali Malu raised with  Qd Qc

Chubbs pushed with  Ad Kd

Board:  Ac Kc 4h Jd 5d


Burnely John is chipleader in the £100 rebuy incidentally, with Stu 'Easy Pickings' Rutter also on the final table.

Steve Jelinek is OUT and becomes our 7th place finisher winning £3,700

Ali Mallu (on tilt perhaps?) raises preflop with 6-5 off... but shorstack Steve Jelinek wakes up in the big blind with A-J.

Board = 7-2-6-3-8

Ali Mallu back up to 210,000

Ali is such class

Hows red stacked?

CMON CHUBBS!

Lets have Rob v Simon headsup for 1st and 2nd place. You can be sure no deals will be done with those two playing.

ANY CHANCE OF CHIP COUNTS SNOOPS PLEASE

Trev Reardon here ....is Iwan still in?

WAIT FOR THIS ONE OF SNOOPS IWAN JUST RANG ME VVVVVVVV UL SOMEONE OMG

Tom McCready aka Red-Dog is OUT and is our 6th place finisher winning £5,000

It was that man Mallu again, he limped in early position and Red pushed all-in, folded back to Mallu who called.

Red:  Aspades Ks

Mallu:  2c 4c!


Board:  4h 2d 2s Jd 8c

A big well done to the Dog who started off as one of the shorter stacks but got Mallu-ed. ;applause; :respect:

Trevor, Ewan is still in but he has only about 92k and is the short stack. There is a break now and then the blinds will be 8k/16k.

thx for the update..... wish Iwan the very best of luck

V ul red... i don't know quite how he does it but he's a pain in the asss lol. i've been malued and it hurts, however once again red's proved he's one of the best. 8)

is this now real poker at its best or just lets all gamble?  it seems pretty harsh that these guys have played for almost 22hours of great poker to get into the position they are in and now its just whack em in and take a chance????????i dunno who am i to coment but from the sideline it looks pretty poor show from me.

well played red.

only played ali malu in a cash game and he managed to get all his cash in pre flop on the first hand blind he won it of course with some total junk, that mans got gamble.

it seems to be lately who can get to the top 9 then gamble do anyone think this is why the numbers are droping for a lot of these big buy in events?coz me and a few of my m8s seem to think its having an afect on the numbers droping

chip counts please?

how can he call with 42?, that's just sick.

Stu Rutter finished 8th in the £100 rebuy which he tells me Burnley John is running over. Stu had his tens cracked by ace eight and won £140, unfortunately he had a rebuy. Doh!


Sofa - Red probably only had about 4xBB and Ali is well stacked a gambler.


Snoops and I are down to one laptop now, Snoops gave his to give to Tikay for the updates in Paris which start this week, so I'm typing and snoopy is writing down the action.


Chip Counts:

Rob -- 455k
Ali -- 280k
Simon -- 430k
Iwan -- 60k
Rudders -- 210k

You need to hit cards at the final table and get lucky, always been that way. Got to take into account that i assume red was very shortstacked and ali could afford the gamble. Why he limps utg with 24 is a mystery tho.

Iwan Jones doubles up!!!

Ewan  Th 9s

Hi folks, snoops again.

Can't complain about entertainment value today, the Yong/Mallu battle has been pretty fun to watch.

COME ON CHUBBS!!!!!!!!!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr
good to see chubbs back playing proper poker as he is one of the best players around when he wants to be.

Iwan Jones is OUT and becomes our 4th place finisher winning £9,900

Shorstack Iwan peeled back one ace and announced all-in.

Rob young saw one card, also an ace, and made the call.

On their backs...

Rob = Ad 7d

Iwan = Aspades 4s

Board = 5d Ts 7h Js 6d

And then there were three...

Game on!

1st = 38,100

Simon = Qh Qc

Rudders = Aspades Jh

Rob passed Ks Qd

Board = 8c 8d 6s 5c 9c

My spidey senses told me we were looking at a Dusk Till Dawn Scoop

Right, I'm off to watch the heads-up, leaving Noflops to retell the stories to you.

Could be hectic, but it shouldn't take long with these two nutters.

Tell chubbs he can now buy the "lucky" glasses he taxed off me earlier in the week ;)

OK, I'm back and snoopy is watching the action. I can tell you now that Simon has already said there's no chance of a deal so we're getting a full proper HU match. I suspect the bragging rights are much more important to Simon and Rob than the cash. ;)



Here's a photo of Rob and Simon pre-battle commencement. Guests please sign up to forum if you want to see the pictures.

did he tell rob he wasn't ready? well played to chubbs and the monkster- a great performance by Team D2D.

Aye Carumba!

What a night!!

Come on hands ups, who predicted a DTD 1-2?...  I think we all had a funny feeling that, when the dust settled and the smoke cleared, it would be those two cheeky chappies playing heads up.

I have some awesome piccies, which I'll merely tease you with. Keep a keen eye on the main site, as they'll all be up tomorrow, including one of the boys shoving all the dosh into one single bin bag.

For now though, all that's left to do is thank Flopsy, who was relentlessly enthusiastic all weekend and a complete bundle of energy, and the Grosvenor Casino who, once again, provided us with a top week of poker.

Time for bed mi thinks, I'm positively cream-crackered.

Next stop Paris for the World Poker Tour. See you soon gang!

Over and out.

ps. Has anyone got a fork?...

WOW!!! for entertainment value this was one of the best comps I've ever been involved in.

Kudos to the Dusk Till Dawn team, (so tough to play against, but great fun) Well done Chubby!

Thanks to Snoops and Floppy for the fantastic updates, you have no idea how hard these guys work

Congratulations to all at Walsall Grosvenor for yet another superb festival, I can't wait for the next one

And last but not least, a big thanks to the members of blonde who wished me well today, and thank you for all the PMs. You guys, (and the money) make it all worth while.

Me, Chubbs and Nick just got back to my house. It was a bit difficult one time when all 3 of us were on the same table when we got down to the last 3 tables. When me and Chubbs made the final table we decided that neither of us would agree to do any deals no matter how many players were left in (as it would be a bit hypocritical especially after some of the anti- deal posts I have put on BP).

As you can see from some of the hands on BP, we clashed quite a few times but it was the best possible result we could have hoped for, a 1 and 2, and 61k (less £400 for the waiters and waitresses). As you would expect, there were a few comments about "same village" from a very small minority but anyone reading the updates must be mad to think this was the case (eg. my all-in with 66 UTG when we were still 5 handed?).

The comp was run great except it was a bit of a crapshoot when down 12 players, but the final table structure was fine. Ali Mallu was relentless but could not win the key hand V Chubbs QQ v AK. I felt a bit sorry for Red-Dog, he had Chuubs, Ali and Me all directly to his right and was getting his blinds stolen every round, eventually finding AKs and losing to Alli's 24d on  224 flop.

I was actually pretty card dead throughout the competition but managed to steal my way through so a nice ending to a tiring weekend.

Cheers Rob

great updates, well done all blondes.

Yep, great updates, just caught up.

Way to go Chubbs and Rob, stunningly good to see you both HU, it was just a matter of time. I hope some publication picks up the story.

Red, that exit was so unlucky, it hurt just to read it.

Chubbs I think you are nearly ready  :D

Thanks for the great updates.

Great updates as per usual guys.

Excellent result Rob(proving that money does go to money ;)) and very good show from Chubbs.

Tom, keep knocking at the door and it is sure to open soon. Nice little touch anyhow.

Well done everyone, especially to Red who deserves it all.

Good Luck to all the blondes, there are load of them still in, though let's hope the Welsh Section, led by Codeye Jones, remember their place in life.....

Had a good day yesterday, met lots of people.

My starting table was interestin, had rudders and fatmarra across from me, btoh who ibe played a lot with online. Then in the two seats to my right were ali mallou, and mick micky wernick, .......
Good luck to RED and rudders (my 10% lol)  

Pab


intresting = understatement- but was a class table- pab was very unlucky- malued was right- enjoyed the  banter- top players (and guys) all round

funniest moment when after 5  and a half hours I actually found a hand worth raising with- the look on the dealers face as the marra folded without looking at his hand....

pab was looking after that 10% with useful coaching hints... such as (on ft) dont you think a red bull would be better than another beer?? (advice declined..)

apart from the 90 mins around the bubble which got very stressfull- and was a bit of crapshoot i enjoyed the rest of the day. well played all on the FT esp the DTD guys vwp and Vwd. Iwan and red dog worked wonders staying in as long as they did with no cards and few chips.

(would have paid just to watch the Rob/Ali duel - was classic)

finally thanks for all the support i got especially when i had no cards at all (like for a day and a half) - its true snoop i did play more hands in half an hour than all of day one lol.
