Depends 'where' or 'what' he's supposed to be in ......  ;)

 :hello: Floppy, Tighty and Kev(lucky spud) ;)

Looking forward to the update, especially now that CK is on camera duty  ;kev;

This is the last main event at this venue before the move to brand new premises next month. The Camel has been getting all nostalgic about years past, he having cut his teeth against many of the Luton old timers


I hear a rumour that an alternative use for this venue has already been agreed, and the building sold. Discretion prevents me from naming pre the watershed what that is going to be!!

RookieITB is here, playing. Funded his seat via that excellent result on Crypto earlier this week

Mazhar Nawab has been here this week, and made a final

who else would you like me to find for you?

Also here are:

Carlo Citrone
Paul King
JP


Players aren't sitting down yet, might be a slight delay.

Go On Tighty, tell us. It's after 7pm now...

Especially for Mr Raab....it involves poles, ladies and muzak

The Warsaw Womens' Music Guild?

not another mosq ?

tikay's starting table includes the following:

Jim Reid
Greek Jack
John Hewston
Irish Denis
Rookie ITB
Anthony Nicholls

He sounds every so slightly intimidated at the prospect...

Isn't it great when kids decide to take their elderly relatives for a night out?

ask tikay to get £1400 off jon hewston as he has owed it to us for a very long time.

Early action on table tikay, as told by rookieitb.....

tikay raises, rookie re-raises with  Qh Qd...gets re-reraised behind him...

rookie folds face up and tikay folds too.

John Hewston, the re-reraiser, shows Ad Ac to our intrepid young hero and our decripit old anti-hero.

Floppy can you ask Rumit if i can borrow his car, cheers.

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Dave Clark five has an early double up when he hits a straight flush versus the nut flush of Dinh Le leaving Mr Le down to the felt with a couple of small chips

Aren't all the chips the same size?  :dontask:

Table 12: (I've also put up photos for all of Tighty's tables back on the previous page)

                 another big action table

This gentleman is Imran Ladak. Made his fortune in medical supplies and then branched out into a new world, that being football

Anyone name what he now does in football? (ANORAKS ONLY!)

who won the 500 yesterday ,any idea tighty ,me old fruit.

He was the Kettering chairman of Kettering that kicked out Gazza for being drunk!!

Ashley Hayles is OUT, no info as such yet, but hopefully with a full list of players and photos, we may have very well caused the death of Mateyboy.

small denomination chips!

sir!

He's the chairman of Kettering Town. Anoraks r us!!

Hewston, Wernick, Nash, Burke..four way chop, me old banana

                             ?

thx my little sponge ball

 :o

hold it theres a puff on here ,oh its only flushy,lol

 ;fishing; ;hide;

Top heavy structure or what?

Kev called it "An APAT Structure".  ::) :D

Yep, Imran Ladak Kettering FC chairman with grand plans for the Football League and the rest


Seriously aggressive player, normally plays big cash games in the local region. 

any chip counts on jonny hewston ,micky ,ian woodley.

JP hasn't just been stealing lots of little pots. He's also stolen all the buffet tickets. "I'm a growing boy!" He protests.


He just paid off a 2k river bet on a 9d 9h Tc 5h 4h and mucked when his opponent showed Ac Aspades

why has praz got the same top from Bolton cant he afford some new shirts out of the 70k he won

It must be his lucky one!!

One is tight, the other is floppy, what a recipe for disaster!!

Good luck guys!

GUKPT Bolton Winner and WSOP Bracelet Winner Praz Banzi.

More early exit news


I arrive just as Jim Reid on table tikay bets 3,500 into a pot of 5,000 on a board of

4s 5d 7c 8c Th

His opponent Thanh Nguyen moves all in and Jim dwells and dwells with his holding

 6c 6d

He eventually calls and Thanh mucks, rises up and departs stage left, sans eyes, sans teeth, sans everything including chips (about time we did faux Shakespeare references on live updates....)

Message for Pelham Boy, as no one else will care a jot. Steve Walsh once of Leicester City (in the avatar)  is my hero and I named my son Nathan Walsh Prew after him..... ;) ;D I have your very avatar picture, signed and framed on my wall!


sorry everyone else for that brief interruption to your service!

Terry Mason just bluffed Ian Woodley off a pot betting 900 into a chunkyish 2.5k pot on a T-6-4-4 board. Woodley dwelt for ages before passing, Mason shows Ad 7d.

early chip leaders are as follows

Dave Clark five 26,000
Paul King 23,000 (looks to have taken a chunk off Chandra Khajuria who is down to 5,000)
Jim Reid 21,000
Andrew Buzzigioli 16,000

The bloke is an absolute legend.I played golf with him a few years ago,he said i had to drive the buggy cos he was banned!!
It was the summer Taylor took over and we had just signed Akinbyi and Benjamin,they had just been on a pre season tour and his exact words were "the 2 new strikers cant trap a bag of cement"
How right he was!!

Dont be silly, 9th doesnt pay the same as 4th......

Message to Greek Jack PLease
Many thank Malc M

Θ*Ιαθκ Το καλύτερο της τύχης απόψε ο φίλος μου και πολλά συγχαρητήρια στο χθες εσείς αλιεύει τα ψάρια ψαριών

JP is going well, 15k in chips including huge piles of 25's and 100's, clearly from the Marcel Luske school of chipstacks.....


The Camel on the other hand is struggling, down to 4k and looking a bit glum

dont seem to be that many mancs down there can u keep me updated on tino plz?

If that's good luck, then you've done our first bokk in Greek

Tikay alerted me to the action. Green Jack limps utg for 100 (he has 4k back), Irish Dennis makes it 350 in LP, Anthony Nicholls makes it 950 from the small blind, Greek Jack re-raises to 2200, Dennis dwells and eventually passes. Anthony moves in, Greek Jack is forced to call having put in half his chips with 3-3 against Nicholls A-A, hoping he was up against A-K

Board:

9h Js Qd 8d 5d

Irish Dennis would've hit his set.

Tino Libertini has 15,400. All seems fine and dandy at this early stage

any chip counts plz

This is Driton Haxhiaj. Albanian by descent he is a very up and coming local player. Got a good aggressive game. Also has a surname that scores 27 at Scrabble which is going some. Second only I think to Buzzigoli, 30 points, out of these 102 runners. 


Currently has 19,000 chips, quite a few of those gained from The Camel

Now then mug, I had 27 chips with my breakfast half an hour ago.   How did your team of coal miners get on this afternoon ??

Any news on Dave Courtney?

As you can guess that was from Kev

Stuart Nash just folded Ad Ac on 7h Td Tc 5h 6h board after his opponent moved all-in on the river for 5,325 into a 9k pot. His opponent showed 6c 6d for the rivered house.

Rumit is OUT, Kanda King, Paul's wife was the assassin with Jacks against Rumit's A-Q.

Blinds about to go up to 100/200. 97 left

More excellent laydown news now


IrishDenis raises pre flop with Aces and is flat called by Anthony Nicholls


on a flop of

 4c 5d 7s

there is a bet from Denis and a flat call from Anthony with  8c 8h

the turn is

 8d

bet, call

river

 Ts

bet, chunky raise, pass by Denis

He says

"I've now had to pass Aces, and Queens and Jacks pre-flop in this comp. Its a miracle I am still in"

tikay pipes up "and I've had to pass 83 off TWICE!!"

  i had 3 weatabix so what mug

just under his 10k starting stack as the players stop for a short break

Good reading guys, thank you.

Good luck to Big TR

9,375 I counted.

Here's one for red bloodied males everywhere.

Tell tale evidence that if you let yourself go you might end up like tikay too, that is..........

is this the singles night of poker? lol

chip counts plz for jonny tex and micky thx

Peter Gould calls all-in on a Th 9s Qh board with Ks Kc against Dave Courtney's Td Tc

Turn:

3h

River:

Jc


Dave Courtney is down to his last 3k or so.

No it's grab a grandpa

I fancy JP for this as he's been on fire on stars this week.

anyone know if phil "zig" anderson is there 2nite good player

good luck all....specially Dickie Lynch............Tighty if you could pass on my best to him I would be grateful....also to Damon

Janit Park is OUT.

jcnev -- He's not on the play list.

any cash 2nite tighty?

Following that nasty outdraw on the river, it appears as though Dave Courtney is OUT.

Sigh...

Not another potential Caption Comp with tikay in it?

How does he do it?...

As a sidenote, the music here is really annoying me. There's only so much Mike & the Mechanics and Abba a man can take, Kev seems to be happily humming along though.

Good going gents - Tighty, many thanks for taking on Luton with the intrepid Homer.  I'll read through your coverage (which, from the first seven pages, looks like it will be The Right Stuff) when the thought of more poker doesn't have a dizzying effect.  See you soon.

This coverage is excellent, especially from Mr TightEnd who isn't a regular behind the live update lappie.

Top job, please keep it up.  :)up

not for me sir.

for you if you wish, plenty I would think. Been a good game all week


meanwhile Dick Lynch 9,000

Damon the Lutonian Bulldozer 8,000

Tikay just raised Jim Reid's 700 cut-off bet to 2k from the button. Jim dwelt a bit and passed, Tikay let Jonny Hewston see a card which was the Th, to which Jim Reid said, "Don't show me Tens!"

any news on lahlit or terry mason.  i think a deal will be struck 2moro hey tighty

RookieITB raises again with  Qs Qh and gets heftily back-raised again by Hewston for most of his remaining chips, and Rookie once again lays them down


Rather tiresomely, Hewston shows him  8c 9d for his troubles

iv got to take this computer back no one can see this writing.

Morning all

good luck to all the luton regulars

any news on pepe fontaine  who has played really well and got deep all week

                   dave johson  and steve templeman    employer and employee   on same table

                   rob garfield  and   damon d' cruise control   both in  great form

                   tom myland    ambro  and  dick   lynch

JP has 24k, he limped-called a raise with 35 soooted and flopped a straight to bust Mateyboy's Kings.

So, suited gappers, the way of the future?


Tikay -- 12k
Stuart Nash -- 5.5k

??????

Any news about the 250 last night

i know that Driton  Chandra and Greek Jack came back today to finish it off    as they ran out of time with 3 left

Terry Mason 23,000
Lalit Khajuria 9,100


Other notables

Billy Quang Ngo, which is not a government agency but a poker player, 27,000
Dave Johnson 17,000
Warren Wooldrdge 24,000

Rookie..don't let yourself get bullied by these mugs!...You can take this.

Mickey Wernick passes Qs Ts on a Q-2-2-A-K board saying, "I was ahead on the flop..." Opponent flips over K-K.... "Ok I wasn't ahead."

thx for the chip counts tighty.lol

that's Tikay asking for his medication, I guess?

Carlo Citrone is OUT whilst Bolton runner-up Karl Marenholtz is down to the felt with just 2k.

Greek Jack won the £250 77dave, outright, for £6,550

Driton Scrabble 2nd for £3,600

Chandra 3rd £2,500 

Steve Templeman 14,000
Ambro "Cuddles" Morreale 6,000
Tom "Jackanory" Myland 7,000
Rob Grfield 5,500

Karl actually had a bit more than 2k left, but he's back up to 9.5k now, first with A-A against A-Q, then he picked up another decent pot without having to show his pocket Jacks.

did eyeeeeeeeeewan jones make the tourney , if he did tell him i missed my manchester flight and its all his fault ........

When told they had to finish  last night  chandra suggested a 1 card turn over to finish it off

woodley and carlo were on the same table last night and the banter was amazing  woodley  ended up knocking out carlo in the first level

Also  this is the 3rd time this week that  irish dennis and tikay have started on the same table they must be sick of the sight of each other

my three 1  big vik
             2 paul king
            3 john hewston ( refreshed after 2 month break)

Denis O'Makoney double up news


Raising in late position, semi short stacked, with  9c 9d he is called in the BB by Jim Reid


flop  Jc Jh 2s

Jim bets, Denis pushes in

Jim shows the rather heart-breaking  Qh Jd

turn  3c

river  9h

back up to 8,000 on his rollercoaster ride of emotions.

The Camel is OUT, I know this because he's on the cash tables.

I played for a few levels at the end of day 1 of the 500  with Karl  first time i have been on his table  very impressed

Some BOAK took this and asked me to put it up.

from little acorns mighty BOAKS certainly grow....

My three picks are.....................

Mr "Handsome" Ian Woodley
Mr "Young Man" Tikay (everyone stop laughing)
Mr "didnt know he knew how play" McFool.,......i mean Mike McCool

..too easy to pick JP everytime.......

Also Tightend picked the colts at the beginning of the playoffs and they look good.....but heart would love the SAINTS to win it.

When are the revised tournament schedule in place at Luton?

Nick "Ripple" Jenkins knocked out Garry Bush. The latter pushed his short stack in with K-9 against Jenkins pocket Tens, hitting a king on the flop. Ten came on the turn though.

revised tournament schedule March Jeff


Come on the Saints!!!


IrsihDenis has got gout, very painful I hear. Accidentally his neighbour John Hewston treads on his foot under the table....cue a painful cry and much anguish


Stuart Nash is OUT


Matey boy Raises to 800, Nash re-raises to 3,800 with KK, MB calls


flop Jack high, MB checks, Stuart pushes in, MB calls for all his chips with....


AK


and rivers the Ace.


yikes!

Micky Wernick just got caught with fingers in the till, he check/raised Driton's bet on a 4d 7s Ac Qc 8c board from 2.2k to 6k. Driton called with 6-5o for the rivered straight Micky mucked, though not before showing the Kc.

David Johnson appears to be OUT, or he's become Praz Banzi since that who occupies his seat.

chip leaders as follows


Mark Lowe 42,000
Steve Templeman 40,000
Driton Haxhiaj 35,000
Dave Clark 30,000
Warren Woolridge 30,000
Terry Mason 25,000
Paul King 20,000


Steve Templeman, who doesn't play the circuit much these days due to both family commitments and his work running the Jack Kings Poker Clubs in the home counties, got his chips as follows


Dave Johnson raises in MP
Steve flat calls in blinds


flop  Ad 4h 9h

all the chips fly in, Dave has  Ahrt Qh, Steve has  Ac Kh. No flush comes and Steve moves near the top of the pack with Dave Johnson OUT


81 left, average chips 13,100 blinds just gone 150-300

was that a no  or yes richard.  ty

tighty  have you noticed since i told kev i have 3 weatabix he hasnt been back on .lol

He's not here Nick.

No Nick, no sign of Iwan or the Welsh here.

ty m8 he was flyin to stanstead , but it was a late finish , i have a vision of him still in bed in copenhagen lol

Is Tikay in that picture?

Sorry, I hadn't noticed.

Wernick 11k
Hewston 9k
tikay 12k
rookieitb 4k
pepe fontana 11k

OUT are Imran Ladak, Jay Patel and Jac Arama


Meanwhile Hewston continues his "it will work every time he tries it til it doesn't" routine, re-raising a MP raiser all in. Raiser shows AJ on passing. Hewston flips 45 suited.

chips count for pete"petel,squirall nutkin"linton please

Driton "Scrabblename" Haxhiaj was just forced to fold Q-Q on a 9h Kd 6d board in a re-raised pot when his opponent bet 6k into a 6k pot with just 9k back.

Mo Muse is sadly bad news as he pushes all in with a flush draw and is eliminated at the hands of Dave Clark with Aces when he misses

Ryan Fronda raises in EP to 1k (Blinds are 150/300 for 20 more minutes). Mark Lowe in the small blind calls as does Peter Gould (High finishing Brit from EPT Baden) in the BB.

Flop:

6h 2s 3h

Mark bets 1k, Peter raises to 4k, Ryan passes with a big sigh, as does Mark.

Surely he's a little young for "huge" piles  :o

THAT GIRL DONT  TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER

GO ON TIKAY GIVE HER A KISS

Squirrel Nutkin has 19,500

Dave Clark up into the 40,000 plus range.

Having passed A-A post-flop, Q-Q and J-J preflop, Irish Dennis completes the set by passing K-K after an Ace flops.

Those who doubt that Tikay has a magnetic personality need only look at the pen round the girl's neck.

Micky Wernick is OUT. All-in on a Q-9-3 board with A-A. Warren Woolridge had Nines.


Meanwhile, Jonny Hewston raises to 1k and gets 3 callers including Mick Fletcher. Flop comes Kh Th 3h, checked to Mick Fletcher, 2nd to last to act, he moves in for around 6k, everyone folds. Fletcher shows 6s 5s.

RookieITB doubles up news.....


In a multiway limped pot he is in the SB with  6d 4s

flop  Kh 5h 2d

all four players check including Denis O'Mahoney on the BB

Turn  3s, which is really a fantastic card for Ben is it not?

He checks, Denis bets, others pass, Ben pushes his remaining 2,500 all in and Denis eventually calls the 2,500 into the 3,800 or so pot with

 Kd Ts, drawing dead before the river

Break-time!

Quick! To the Buffet!!!

(http://www.whoosh.org/images/whoosh.gif)

75 left, average 13,600, blinds 200-400 on our return

toodle pip for now!

Please could you pass on my good luck wishes to the ol fella.

And also apologise to Dina for me. I was saving my phone number for her, but these bloomin' DTD girls pestered me into submission...

We have 2 votes for second from left and three for second from right here snoops

Cowabunga.

I couldn't decide in the end so I just slept with them all.

dont imagine that you got much sleep

you must be knackered snoops

Just been speaking to Ripple11 at the break who has been card dead for the first few levels, "My best hand was Jacks, but I had to dump that to a re-raise."

He's on 8k at the moment.

Could you wish Jonny Hewston good luck please

I was pretty quick to be honest.

its not the winning its the taking part that counts

3 minutes each lol

Blinds are now 200/400 and we are restarting play.

play resumes.......


enough of this frivolity.... ;slavedriver; floppy

Kev here ..... Johnny Tex is a goner ..... he would like to thank all the B@&$ards that bokked him.

And while i am in control of floppys lappie, I would like to say that in that pic of the DtD girls..... Trap3 looks a proper mucky sort.

Kev who?

Brian Johnson is OUT


Jeff Rogers doubles through Ryan Fronda with  Qs Jh versus  Aspades Qh on a  Qd Js  8c flop. Rogers up to 15k. Fronda now in trouble

Elsewhere Praz Banzi is shortstacked

tikay is on 10,100 and is delighting in showing his 100 chip over the starting stack to all and sundry....

Thats showbiz ;)

I thoght he was a blue-nose   ;hide;

This man previously had his scarf over his whole head though as soon as I tried to get a picture of him for "The Warm, Wrapped Up Adventures of Scarfman" - my new graphic novel, he took it off sharpish. Still, that is I guess, Scarfman's superhuman powers of detection at work.

Rookie ITB has doubled again  Kd Kc versus Jim Reid's  Ahrt  Qs, all-in pre-flop. Rookie up to 15k or so

Ian Woodley is OUT. Nines versus Terry Mason's bullets ;snoopy'sguns;

bit better

Tighty informs me that Scarfman is Andrew Georgiou, a big Vic cash game player. Eitherway he's just knocked out Ryan Fronda with Kings against Queens

Jim Reid is OUT

Pushing his last 1,700 into the pot after his RookieITB accident, blinds 200-400, with  5d 5h he was auto-called by the BB with  Ks 6c.  6d on the flop

i hearr damon the luton bulldozer cruz control more nicknames that he needs cruz  is up to 30k   any news

******************Announcement, via tikay***********


Julian Thew's wife gave birth to a son tonight at 10.20pm. All doing well!

 ;letsparty; ;mexicanwave; ;topman; :cheers: :cheers: ;sexybanana; ;karabiner; ;letsparty;

Kev just got some sort photos for me. Your mission is to create captions for all four.

Paul Alterman would like to pass a message on to his wife Rochelle


"I love you"   :-* :-* :-*


(Paul, not me!)

Many congrats to Jools and family  :birthday:

to answer 77dave,

Table 1 has Steve Templeman in seat 1, Ambro Morreale in 2, and Damon D'Cruz in 3


All have in excess of 30,000 and if anything Steve appears to have given chips to the other two

the remainder of the table including Tino Libertini are shortstacked, clinging on

is he really my grandfather
 cmon lads please look at me. I'm good too
Not using the wife's leg shaving cannabis smoking mahine again
that dewi is so good looking!!!

Pepe Fontana is OUT, AK versus A8 of Mateyboy


A8 raised, AK pushed in. 88 passes

A8 calls all-in, as you would  ;ashamed;. Rivers the case 8!

PeteL is OUT. The players on his table told me that Nik Persaud raised the button to 1,100 playing a 17k stack or so. Pete made it 20k with A-Q from the big blind "I f**ked up, I made a s**t move," Nik called with A-K and doubled up. He then lost the rest with Eights to Tens.

Joe Grech has 17k, "I keep bluffing them away" as he has a crafty fag break.

Karl Mahrenholz makes progress by getting KK versus JJ of mateyboy, all-in pre-flop. They stand up, elevating him to the relative security of 18,000

Chip leader on the King/McCool table is Stewart Clutterbuck with 36,000

Danny Samson is OUT as is Praz Banzi

I have won then?

Praz went out holding top pair against a guy who called 5k off with a straight draw which hit, he didn't mind though since he needed to double up anyway.

Welsh entries don't count.

 :'( :'(

YES PETE YOU DID
never mind hes had a good week,well done.

tighty tell him i said hi

Triple Double-up news now:

First, Mick McCool (Slick Kid) doubles through Big Trevor Reardon with J-J against A-K.

Mick Fletcher wins his race with A-K against Neil Channing's T-T

and Nick "Ripple11" has around 20k now when Paul King didn't believe he had an ace on an A-A-9-x-x board.

Vik Kanwar is OUT


Pushes his last two thousand in from the cut off with  4d 5d

Ariel Adda re-raises on the button to 6,000 to isolate with  Jh Js

but Nick Persaud re-reraises in the BB to 15,000 with, as it turns out,  Aspades Qs

Adda passes

the flop gives Vik some hope

 Jd 9d Ks

but the river and turn blank with  9s 8h to knock him out

Adda would have hit the house.

Goooooo the Luton Bulldozer!  ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader;

Trevor Reardon is OUT, his last 3k went in on a Ac 2h Td board, Matey behind him pushed, and Mick McCool was forced to muck pocket Kings.

BOARD

 Th Js 4c  7d


river.....


 Tc


Rookie down to 7,000


Keep fighting my son.

That table, although tikay has now been moved off it now, has been a story of carnage avoidance with big laydowns and a carnage inducing series of outdraws all night

Ariel Adda just won a huge pot from Nik Persaud.

4.6k in preflop,

Flop:

Qd 6c 6s

Ariel raises Nik's intial 1.8k bet to 4k which Nik calls.

Turn:

Ac

Both check

River:

Jd

Nik bets 8k which is insta-called by Ariel's Q-9 which is good as Nik quickly mucks.

I nearly missed my flight too Nick, I'm blaming putting Kev O'Connell in charge of pouring the free drinks! Eye-wan said he drove passed Luton and had to stop himself from taking the turn off, after his beat in Copenhagen a few days off I reckon.

Good job fellas, wish JP, Nick Persaud and Irish Dennis well, how's that for a 1-2-3.

Paul King is OUT, 3 spades came in on the flop and his opponent, Steve Jelinek checked to him, holding the Ks he pushed, unfortunately Jelinek had 2s 3s in his hand which held.

Ambro Morreale is OUT at the hands of Billy Quang Ngo


Ray Brown, European 7CS champ in Baden in 2003 has 30k going well


RookieITB's rollercoaster ride continues


all in with AQ (raise pre-flop, push on flop) versus KQ on a J 10 7 flop with 14,000 in the middle the turn and river come 10 5 to put him back in the hunt

Hi or should I say hay from Copenhagen. Just wanted to say that Im bokking backing Karl for this one. Hes due a result.

Mick McCool just pushed with A-J according to him for "some reason" against Tony Nichols raise, Tony called with A-K.

Flop:

 Jd Ts 3c

Turn:

 Qd

River:

 Kh

(http://www.pacificu.edu/as/physics/images/KarateChop.jpg)

Steve Templeman and Ariel Adda are over 50,000 each, sat next to each other on Table 1. Next to them Damon D'Cruz has slipped back to under 20,000


Dennis O'Mahoney gets a double up to nearly 25,000 chips, pushing all in in the cut off with  Aspades 8s he gets an entirely unexpected and frankly inexplicable call from the mateyboy in the BB with  Ad 2s


the board   8h Qs Kc Ac 8d was rather emphatic for Dennis


according to Rookie the table is "very loose, very aggressive and has been that way all night"

Ronnie DeBealox doubles up with  Js Jh versus James Browning's  Ad Ahrt, all-in pre.


first card out, drumrolls please.........

 Jd

Beginning the last level of the night, 400-800.

52 left, 19,600 average.

Nice work Guys, Makes me feel so much closer to home, Love it

Where are you located?

Tikay has gone. Short stack Paul Child pushed with  Aspades Ts, slightly shorter stack Tikay beat him in the pot with Qd Qh only to find Dave Smith calling both with Ks Kd.

Board:

Tc Th 9c 7h 3c


Child on about 17k now.

On a little island in the South China Sea, the locals call it PARADISE  ;letsparty; and they are not far wrong.

here since sept, but do miss "live" poker

JP is also OUT, will try to find out how in a sec.

Damon D'Cruz has doubled up to nearly 30,000

 Ac Aspades versus  Td Th, all in on a  Jh 2h 4c flop

hey tighty,
tell damon to play other hands than aces!!!
wish him the best of luck from me

Nice updatering guys.  ;hattip;

updates on damon  rob  dick   tom and steve templeman please

great work guys

looks like lots coming back tomorrow

Anthony Nicholls has just picked up a big pot, raising with  9h 9d and being re-raised by a young mateyboy who set himself in


Anthony had a tough decision, and eventually called for half his remaining stack

Good call, as MB had  Ahrt Js (which was to be fair a decent move, as Anthony nearly passed)

9s on the river sealed the deal for Anthony who rises to over 40,000 in chips

Luton locals updates for 77 dave


Damon 23,000
Steve Templeman 40,000
Ray Brown 26,000
Rob Garfield 33,000
Tom Myland 6,000
Paul Alterman 25,000

Rookie steals a pot in a sb/bb showdown

Flop:

3d 4d 7s

Both check.

Turn:

2c

Rooks bets 2k, call.

River:

Td

Rooks bets 3.5k, BB dwells for ages before passing. What did Rookie have?

20 minutes left of play for today

47 left, average 21,700

Still in, competitvely positioned with 20-30k in chips, are the following dangerous players

Michael McCool
Joe Grech
Sunny Chattha
Steve Jelinek


Chip leaders are Adda, Templeman, Clark, Wooldridge, Lowe, Garfield with 40-50k each

Ok, he didn't steal he had a set of 3's.

There's just been another pot where a raise, was followed by a re-raise and Rookie pushed with A-K and the re-raiser folded Q-Q to him. Rookie over 30k, I think the fact that 11th to 18th all pay £1,000 has something to do with that push.

Also, having spoken to JP, (who lost a race when matey had 44 against JP's AQ), Karl Marenholz (couldn't get a guy to fold 88 on a K-K-J-9-x board), Rooks and a couple of the other players, all of them would've liked to have seen running antes in the tournament, as would Tighty and myself, (just so I can use the puntastic running antes kicking in picture). After the successful structure of the Bolton GUKPT event, hopefully more big buy-in tournaments will introduce it.

We'll give you the overnight chip counts in a few minutes as play is ending for the night


Meanwhile I missed Billy Quang Ngo and Stewart Clutterbuck out from the over 40k club. Right up there

Nick Ripple11 Jenkins is OUT, not wanting to have to come  back tomorrow with 10 BB's Nick pushed with KQ for 12k and found a surprising caller from the BB who called all-in with AT sooted. He flopped a Queen but a rivered Ace put him down to 1 BB which went all-in next hand in with Ad 3s  in a 3-way pot with Irish Dennis's Ac Qc and Matey's Qs Qd.

Board:

Jc 4d 9d Kd Qh

Irish Dennis, who had made good decisions all-day went next hand with an Ace-rag to the same Matey's Q-Q again next hand.

Rookieitb -- 23.4k
Mick "Slick Kid" McCool -- 21.6k

Play is now over for the night.

Fantastic update guys,  look forward to tomorrow

Good luck Rookie

Good work guys great job   

hope you enjoyed it richard

Thanks Guys

Great stuff guys

Great updates guys.
Gl to Slick Kid, whos in top form it seems.
And RookieITB.

It was a proper good laugh at Luton yesterday... Highlights included Big Johnny Hewston accidently stepping on Irish Dennis' foot ( I now know what pain looks like when displayed as an emotion)..

laughing at Paul King as he watched from the rail, while his Wife (who is stunningly beautiful by the way) was still in the comp... And constantly reminding him that the best player in his house was still in.

The banter on tikays table was quality, Johnny Tex, Irish Dennis, Tikay, Rookie .... it took about 2 hours for the rest of the table to get a word in !!  And the play was very high quality, some fantastic laydowns (by Dennis in particular) who was proved spot on every time.

The posh boys did a great job with the updating, im looking forward to todays efforts.

Great updates -  felt like I was there - wish I had been.

Good news is when the old luton premises reemerge with tables I might make more money there  ::)

great updates guys

good luck to rookie

congrats to jules and mrs jules

Fantastic Updates by Tighty, NoFLOppyHOMEBOY and there standbye photograher Big Kev.
