Incidentally, this is a double chance freezeout where you get 6,500 + 6,5000. That 13k in total (duh), so it could be a long weekend...

Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 07:19:24 PM
Stu Rutter is already moving and shaking. He just shoved in his remaining 2,525 into a pot with its fair share of purple chips (thousands). The board read A-8-4-5 and Stu took it down when Richard Jenking in seat 10 mucked his cards. But whilst Stu scoops the chips, Richard is down to 2.8k.


Title: Re: MIDLAND MASTERS: £1,000 F/O (Interactive)
Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 07:21:14 PM
James Atkin has lost aroun 4,000 chips after clashing with Zaib Gehan.

Board = Kh Jd Qc 4h 6h

James had Ts 9s for the straight, but Zaib, who had a pretty decent hand himself, managed to river a flush with Ahrt Jh to take the pot.

Stu Rutter has suddenly decided that now is the time to take his extra chips, to which Peter Smythe (just a few doors down) responds by saying, "Me too please, can't have him bullying the table."

Battle of the generations!

The formidable Steve Jelinek (who is sharing a table with one Mr Tony Kendall) is already up to 22k with his rebuy ticket still in front of him. He's even got a yellow chips. Wooooo weeeeee, as Brucie (or his audience, rather) would say.

Some of those chips came from a straight versus two pair jobby. Steve held Q-9 to his opponents J-t on a board of 6-8-T-J. No Jack or Ten on the River and Steve has to be the new chip leader.


Title: Re: MIDLAND MASTERS: £1,000 F/O (Interactive)
Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 07:30:20 PM
Joe Grech has already lost his first lot of 6.5k.

Didn't quite catch the hand, but he may be distracted by the rather alluring woman on the front of the maagzine he's reading. At first, due to the model on the front, I thought it was 'Men Only', but as Joe moved his arm I realised that it was 'Gambling Only'. Boy, how poker's changed over the years...

Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 07:36:35 PM
Paul King is currently on 4.7k.

He pointed down at the table and said, "I'll be left with that just that soon" to which I replied, "Do you mean the rebuy ticket or the Walsall card protector?"

Roberto Romanello is out. He's rather dejected at the moment, muttering to himself. Something to do with a bad beat.

Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 07:41:51 PM
Some Welsh news now courtesy of blondeite Ariston, who is assisting me with the odd story here and there (please thank him at the end if you can remember)

And his first scoop is, well, a scoop.

Roberto Romanello is OUT!

Down to 4k, his 600 pre-flop raise was raised all-in for 16k by Mateyboy. Convinced he had a small pair, Roberto called for his remaining chips only to find he was slightly dominated against Pocket Rockets.

No help and Roberto is a gonna.

"There's always one muppet who calls 'em (referring to himself)", commented a demoralised Roberto.

Title: Re: MIDLAND MASTERS: £1,000 F/O (Interactive)
Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 07:50:26 PM
Blackppolain Dave Mayall, who Ariston refers to as 'Nice Dave', is busy cracking Aces today.

First he took down Simon Zach with Jacks v Aces on a K-K-x-J-x board, and then Nick Slade (7-7) and Mick Flecther (A-A) with 2-2 on a 2-4-6 Flop.

Even so, he's still on around 10k (with his ticket too of course), but this was maninly due to a combination of not having too many chips when he bust the Aces and being renowned as one of the tighter players at the table.

"He bets out," commented Nick. "And you just pass if Nice Dave does that" added Ariston.

Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 07:54:58 PM
Steve 'Womble' Walmsley doubled up during the first level with 2-4 on a 2-4-T Flop.

He then took another nice pot with 4c 6c on an all club flop.

As a result, the Tory Boy is on over 20k.


Title: Re: MIDLAND MASTERS: £1,000 F/O (Interactive)
Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 07:57:17 PM
Julian 'Golden Yoyo Balls' has obviosuly shined up his spheres tonights and made a wish as he's managed to flop both a straight and quads (not at the same time though).

He didn't get paid too much, but he's still managed to jump up to around 10.5k with his rebuy ticket still in tact.


Title: Re: MIDLAND MASTERS: £1,000 F/O (Interactive)
Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 08:06:34 PM
Ali Mallu is OUT, so not Malluing today.

The first lot went to Martyn Cavanagh when Ali raised it up with the speculative hand of J-5. The flop came 5-5-3, but the Welsh lad was sitting pretty with Pocket Threes.

Finally, Ali Mallu exited the comp when he grew too attached to a flush draw. Mark Lowe (A-K) raised it up and received three callers, two of whom were Sid Harris (Ad-9d) and Ali (5d-2d). Flop came Kd-Jd-Qc, Sid bet, Alli called, Mark re-raised and both players called. All the money then went in on the raggy Turn, but Ali was drawing dead and was forced to exit stage (well, casino) left.

Just met Jamie Fisher for only the second time, boy, this lad's a card.

He was telling me about some of his gambling antics this weekend, including a manic roulette session with Mad Turk. Can you picture that?

He also told me that he called Con Cronin in cash game with Ten high (Con had Queen high) before adding, "I knew he was bluffing". If there's anyone who takes as much fun out of the game as possible, then it's this cheery chap.

In this comp he's currently on 18k, although his rebuy ticket has mysteriously disappeared.

Just having a quick butchers around the arena, the following seem to be doing very nicely indeed.

Zippy Aslam -- 12,000 (+ticket)
JP Kelly -- 24k (-ticket)
Ash Pervais -- 20k (+ticket)
Stu Rutter -- 27k (-ticket)
Julian Thew -- 21k (+ticket)


Title: Re: MIDLAND MASTERS: £1,000 F/O (Interactive)
Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 08:33:19 PM
Julian 'Golden Yoyo Balls' Thew destroyed Ian Herbert when he flopped yet another monster, this time a full house with 5-3 on a Flop of 5-3-3. Of course, the Welshman only had A-3 and was virtually obliterated.

Soon after, Herbert shoved his remaining few thousand in with Q-Q, but was outdrawn by A-Q - Ace on Flop.

Bad day at the office then.


Title: Re: MIDLAND MASTERS: £1,000 F/O (Interactive)
Post by: snoopy1239 on November 25, 2006, 08:35:26 PM
The blinds are currently at 50-100, and are due to rise to 100/200 in 8 minutes. There is no 75/150 level, but I guess that is to be expected when you can start with 13k in chips.

According to the board, there are 131 players remaining with an average stack of 13,600/

The total prize pool is 137,000, which will make first place somewhere around the 50-55k mark.

Correction from before, Chris Gavirel was not the first man out, he is actually doing rather well with over 20k (ticket gone though).

Players that are definitely out though are:

Mazhar Nawab
Grant Mercado
Ali Mallu
Ian Herbert
Roberto Ramanello
Siney Harris

Tom: "I'm on 12k, so not too much progress, but I'm being well entertained. There's a young lad on the table who's saying things like '(to Ash Hussain) You're a professional you are aren't you, I'm going to try and take a pot off you so people will fear me.'"

tikay: "Do you want mean tikay or nice tikay?"

Mickey Wernick: "I can't believe you can go 2 levels without winning a single ante. I did get dealt Queens on one hand so I raised it up. The flop was J-T-x and the guy bet out, so I flat called. Then a young lad behind me moved all-in for 1.8k, so I called and so did the original bettor. We checked it down, but the Ace on the Turn gave the lad all-in a Broadway straight, King Queen."

Greek Jack: "Do you know anything about phones, I can't hear mine?"

Nick Slade: "Has tikay told you about those Nines, make sure he tells you about those nines."

The mind boggles.

Chip leader Chris Gavriel has just doubled up Thomas Raymond.

Thomas had A-6 against Chris's T-T on an 9-6-6 Flop. No Ten arrived and Chris has taken a small dent, but to be honest, it would be like taking a million out of tikay's bank account, just a drop in the ocean.

It's amazing how quickly the tide can turn. During the break, Mickey was commenting that he'd had absolutely nothing to go on, but just like that he trebles up and is now on 15k.

Paul King and Bambos were his opponents, the former Turning a straight, but it wasn't good enough as The Worm hit a flush on the River.

I have just found out that Mick Fletcher exit at the hands of Nick Slade, who is now on 41k as a result.

Mick raised pre-flop and Nick called with Pocket Sixes. The Flop was a rather delightful 6-6-x giving the Northerner Quads. Nick then proceeded to call every street, until all the chips went in on the Ace River. Mick didn't show his hand.

Flop = Ks 5s Jd

Julian Thew bets 2.5k and Dave Smith calls.

Turn = 6s

Both check.

River = 9d

Dave Smith moves all-in and Julian dips into the tank.

"Have you got a flush?" asks Julian.

"Yes," replies Dave.

Julian folds.

Easy game this, all you have to do is ask...

Bit of stinger this one, and it result in a leap of delight from Phillip Green (pictured right).

On hearing the celebration, I raced over just in time to see a board of A-A-x-x-3 with Phillip Green's A-3 rivering Stephen Lovatt's A-Q for a decent pot that kept Green in the comp.

Hey all. Great updates Snoopy. Jen is a little cross with herself for not flat-calling the re-raise with AK vs AA, then she says she could've at least passed the flop. She was down to about 15k after that and got it all-in with Ahrt Jh vs Kc Ks and rivered an Ace, then against the same guy she got A-K vs his A-T and he then rivered a Ten, finally she pushed with K-7 but didn't receive any help against A-Q. Rick (Actionman/TheClaimer) is also out, he had A-K vs 4-4 vs 9-7 and missed. The whole tournament though is awesome, and deserved to completely sell out rather than just make 148 runners, even though that is still remarkable good for a first ever tournament.

Well, I think you just anti-bokked one of them, as RED-DOG has just shot up to 36 courtesy of the Tory Boy, Mr Womble.

It all went crazy on the 7d 5d Ahrt Flop.

Womble bet 600, Tom made it 2,000, re-raised to 10,600, all-in for 18,500, which, of course, Womble had to call.

Womble = 6d 4d

RED-DOG = 7h 7c

Ever heard the phrase 'dodging bullets'? Well, RED-DOG wasn't just dodging them, he caught them in the air and swallowed them whole.

Turn = 6s

"Just one time," pleads Tom.

River = 2s

Simon Zach is the climber of the day, now up to 9,400 after being down to just 700.

He'd initially done his stack with Kings versus Chris Huyton's Bullets. But he didn't give up, and after doubling through with Queens versus Malcolm Harewood's Nines, he then trebled up to 9+ with Jacks versus two sets of Ace-King. Jack on the flop practically sealing the deal.

Koresh is standing on the rail, looking slightly helpless and chatting away to his mates with a slight disgruntled look on his face.

Call it a hunch, but I think he may be OUT.


He just dipped his hands into my ice bucket that had the champagne in and I asked, "Have you been in a fight?" to which he replied, "I will be soon."

Although he managed to build his 4.6k stack up into the deep teens, Des Jonas is now back down to 12.4k after losing a relatively chunky pot to Dave Smith on a 2d-7h-2c-2h board.

"Come back in a bit and I'll be back up there," claimed a positive Des.

"That's confident," I replied, "or disillusioned (as I walked away)"

Hi Snoops,

It should also be said that Ash is a thoroughly nice bloke who knows a thing or two about Horse Racing.

He is a credit to the game of poker and a credit to us Midlanders too.

I wish him luck.

Mike

ps Great updates  :)

Poker is all about characters, and here's another, Darshan 'Magic' Sami.

'Magic', as he calls himself, has jumped up to 33k after surviving the following pot:

Mateyboy raises, Sami (and two others) called.

Flop = 4d 5d 7s

The original raiser bets out, Sami and one other player call.

Turn = 9c

The original raiser checks, Sami moves all-in and the other player goes into the think tank.

Thinking he has a flush draw, Sami says "Don't call, you're behind!" and so he does indeed fold.

The original raiser also goes into the think tank and once again Sami exclaims, "Don't call, you're behind!", but this time, the player called, flipping 6-7 in the process.

Sami turned over his Pocket Sevens and took the pot once the River drew a blank.

"MAGIC TIME!"

Phil Peters follows his other half onto the rail with a nasty bad beat on his shoulders.

He managed to get it all-in with the best of it, his Kings looking in good shape against Maurice Nicholson's Ace Queen.

Unfortunately for the 'esteemed gambler', the Cowboys were thrown off their horse as the Turn and River brought runner runner flush to Maurice's bare Ace.

James Atkin is OUT.

Although he survived a Q-8 all-in steal that ran into A-K, James couldn't get away from this Flop.

With the board reading, 2d 7c 8c, James shoved it in with 9c 6c, but couldn't outdraw the Ac Jc of Lucy Rokach who is now chipped up.

James bounced over here on his exit wondering what the odds were. The answer? 42% vs 58% approx. Not quite as bad as I thought.

"Ah well, I always go out on those sorts of hands."

Just to clarify Julian Thew's exit...

Woodley raised with A-K, Julian re-raised with Tens (even though Woodley had said beforehand that if he were to raise, he would move all-in), and, ture to his word, he did just that.

No Ace or King arrived, but Ian managed to River a Wheel, A-2-3-4-5.

Meanwhile, we've lost two blondeites as both John 'Saphire' Shipley and Tim 'T8mml' Blake are gone, the latter losing a coinflip with A-Q vs J-J.

Looks like Nick Slade isn't messing around anymore.

He 2.5k pre-flop raise was re-raised to 10k, a figure which Nick called.

Then on the 8-9-9 flop, Mateyboy bet out 8k, and once again Nick called.

Then, after MB had checked the Ten Turn, Nick moved all-in.

MB folded and Nick showed 4-5, adding, "Don't try and outplay me."  :D

The gloves..... are......... off..........

BREAKING NEWS

Tom 'RED-DOG' McCready has just outdrawn someone, and two of them at the same time too!

As Ash Hussain said, "They're like buses".

Anyhow, all the chips went in pre-flop with M Ong holding 4-4, Toni Dicesare with A-K and Tom A-J.

Board = J-9-J-K-2

Ong is therefore OUT.

Make that 40, Alex Hinchcliffe is now on the rail after O'Reilly called his all-in on a King high Flop with Queens.

Good call because Hinchcliffe was making a move with A-Q.

And just as I finish writing that report, Lucy Rokach takes out yet another wounded soldier, and this time it's Northerner Andrew Bradshaw.

On a board of 6s Qc Qs 7c 8c, Lucy bet 6k only for Bradshaw to move over the top all-in.

Funnily enough, Lucy deemed her two red Queens to be good enough for a call.

Meanwhile, Joe Grech has doubled up with a set of Sevens against Peter Smythe's stonecalled bluff on a board of 2h 7h 5s Kh.

9c on the River was academic.

"I told you, that's what happens when you keep messing with me," gleams a pumped up Grech.

Jeff Kimber: "I'm the best player no one's heard of."

Joe Grech: "I didn't have to much with my set of sevens, he called to bluff. Set himself up really."

For those of you who don't know, this is Ash 'The Cash' Pervais, a highly rated player who predominantly plays in the Midlands.  Often seen with the likes of Mickey Wernick and Chris Gavriel, Ash is one of the most consistent players around, rarely makes errors and always appears to be fully focused on the game.

wow although i cant really argue with the statement how much did ash pay you?
