The best thing about James, is he really don't care bout all the Flushy/Brighton thing.

He is and has been focused on what he wants, and that is a big score on the poker scene............And what better place than Brighton.

I always find him to be friendly, chatty and very knowledgeable about the game he loves. and he has a very thick skin.

James, keep your mind on the job in hand, there's a lot of us behind you.....................and I for one truly hope you get through today and come out on top.

You deserve it Son.

What a country indeed.  I hope everyone's set their alarm that little bit earlier today as we're starting as near to 2pm as is possible... The Casino isn't even open yet but I've had my daily double needless phone calls from reception to wake me up so I thought I'd get ahead of the game and start updating now.

Er...Flushy is currently still asleep, Climbers of the other days Roberto Romanello and Steve Jelinek are swimming laps around the pier, while Neil Carr is still ordering his chips from last night in stacks of between seven and eleven.  Neil Carr might be way out in front chipwise, but with the blinds going to 600/1,200, anything can happen.

Shaf raises from the small blind. Raj pushes the big. Shaf mucks quickly.

Next hand, Shaf raises the button, Neil Carr re-raises from the big blind and bets 120k on the 2h Tc 2d board, once again Shaf folds quickly.

After that, Raj raises to 45k on the button, Marty Wilson pushes for 128k more. Raj calls with Qd Qs, Marty shows Aspades Jc

Board:

5s 3s Js Kh 7d

Marty is OUT in 14th winning £2,400

It's all-intastic here - first 15 minutes and about 6 of them...

John Exley pushes over Albert Sapiano's flat call preflop - he gives him a spin for the full 80k with his 3c 3h.  John's 8d 8h were comfortably in front and stayed so - he's up to 160k

Big blind Teremce Burke pushes over the top of Flushy's button raise for about 75k total - call with Aspades 6h.  He was delighted to see Terrence with 5d 5c, but again, the ahead pair stayed ahead as the board came Kc 3c 4s Jd Kh. 

Maz Nawab raised preflop with one caller in Albert Sapiano, then pushed on the Kc 7s Jh flop.  Albert check-called with his Aspades Tc, but Maz had hit a King and his Ks Qc doubled him up too.
_________________________________________

The only one whose all-in went the other way was Shaf - he had it all in with Ad Kd while Dave Smith, who covered him, held JJ.  After losing about 100k already today, Shaf was in for around 150-60k, and when the Jd popped out first card it gave Dave a nice near-double-through and a comfortable opponent-drawing-dead river.

So Mohammed Shafiq finishes in 13th place, winning £2,400

Post by: NoflopsHomer on May 20, 2007, 02:54:36 PM
We've lost Craig Owen, he got crippled holding A-Q against Roberto Romanello's K-3 before managing to increase his stack from 4k to 26k when his K-Q beat Neil Carr's Kings on a J-4-2-Q-Q board. However, he pushed shortly afterwards with Q-J on Neil Carr's big blind, only Carr had, yep, Kings again. Board came J-T-5-7-2

Craig Owen is OUT in 12th winning £2,400


Title: Re: Brighton GUKPT: Final Day - Interactive
Post by: Djinn on May 20, 2007, 03:09:46 PM
Roberto Romanello Justifies the Existence of the ipod:

Raj Modha raises preflop an extra 21k.  Big blind Roberto looks at him, looks at his stack, and clearly decides that this pot is not going to Raj without a fight.  "I think I've got the best hand," he begins.  Then changes it:  "I know I've got the best hand." 
Then:  "Just cause I got to like you yesterday, that's why I'm raising you.  I don't know whether I want a call or not."
Raj ponders silently.  Roberto: "If you raise, 99.9% I'll go with you.  I'll show, I promise.  I've got about 200k."
Then:  "I've got good chips, you've got good chips.  Whoever wins it will probably go all the way."

Raj ponders silently.  Roberto:  "Clock!"

Raj passes and Roberto flips Qh 6s.


Title: Re: Brighton GUKPT: Final Day - Interactive
Post by: NoflopsHomer on May 20, 2007, 03:11:57 PM
Steve Jelinek is OUT in 11th place winning £3,000

All went in with Js Jh against Albert Sapiano's Kd Ks

Board:

6c 6d 3s 4h Ac

Elsewhere, Raj lost a 150k pot to Neil Carr whose 9d 5c matched better to the Tc 9h 7h 4c 5d board than the Laddies Poker Million winner.

We are now hand for hand.


Title: Re: Brighton GUKPT: Final Day - Interactive
Post by: Djinn on May 20, 2007, 03:12:48 PM
Flushy loses a chunk to Steve Jelinek - just caught him betting on a Jh Kc 9c Qc board (36k) when Steve checked to him.  Call.
River:  6h  Steve checks again and Flushy eventually decides to check behind.  Steve shows his Qh 9s and a slightly frustrated-looking James mucks.
___________________________

Jelinek then raises after Barny limps on Flushy's big blind (the two of them looking at each other - "Not even one time?" sighs Flushy)...they both pass eventually and Steve shows Ahrt Aspades.

But all that was before the pot which eliminated Jelinek, obviously, I just thought it added colour to the string of eliminations.

Hand-for-hand.

They're doing those test runs from the TV table, which is a good sign... we've got that live feed from the press room, but sadly this time it's a regular-sized TV on one of those wall-brackets, so I hope the sound is nice and clear.  Feeling impatient!

I think....yes....we're off!  Blinds are now 6,000/12,000 ante 1,000.

The button is on Albert Sapiano in Seat One....

"I haven't got much of a hand," Roberto says, raising straight away first hand in early position to 36k.  Neil Carr calls in the small blind.
Flop:  2h 8h 5c  Neil bets out 70k after looking like he'd counted to five in his head first, and Roberto, although taking a chunk of blue chips to thread from his stack, doesn't like it and passes with the minimum (for him) of verbal.  This includes, "You look terrified," to Neil.
"Go all in then," finally responds Neil.
"What will you do if I do?"
"Call you."

That didn't happen, however, this time.


Title: Re: Brighton GUKPT: Final Day - Interactive
Post by: Djinn on May 20, 2007, 05:09:44 PM
Barny Boatman raises to 40k preflop.  Cutoff Albert Sapiano calls (he does do quite a bit of this, I've noticed over the last two days)...
Flop:  8h 8d Jh  Barny, who'd committed about a quarter to a third of his stack pre, bets out 60k.  Albert flat calls again.
River:  4d  Barny, nearly on the felt, surely has to push...and yes, shoves it in - Call!
Barny shows:  Qs Ks
Albert shows:  Kh Ac

River:  8s

And with that strange triple-call, Barny Boatman is eliminated in 9th place, winning £6,100


Title: Re: Brighton GUKPT: Final Day - Interactive
Post by: Djinn on May 20, 2007, 05:16:19 PM
Raj Modha raises to 40k in early position, big blind Dave Smith pushes over the top...

Raj asks for a countdown - total either 119k or 190k, we really can't hear properly.  "Why are you pushing all in?" he asks.
"I want you to double me up."   Well, it's not quite Romanello standard, but they're warming up...

We all think Dave Smith has A-K.  "I have to pass," says Rajesh, so we'll have to wait six months to find out.


Title: Re: Brighton GUKPT: Final Day - Interactive
Post by: Djinn on May 20, 2007, 05:21:13 PM
Albert makes it 45k to go preflop, effortlessly getting Roberto's big blind and showing the Ac Jc.  People are going to find it hard to take him on - a huge stack that might just call you no matter what...
_________________________________

John Exley makes it 40k to go preflop, Raj now moves in from the big blind.  "Go on then," says John, the whole operation taking less than 30 seconds - on their backs:

Raj shows:  5s 5c
John shows:  Ahrt 9h

Flop:  2d 3c 6s
Turn:  Tc
River:  9c

Can't see Raj's stack, but it can't be in good shape now...

Albert makes it 45k, John Exley moves all-in. The pressroom don't think Albert will pass and he doesn't.

John:

Jd Jc

Albert:

Ad Kd

Flop:

Kc 5d Qs

Turn:

3s

River:

So John Exley is OUT in 8th place winning £9,200

Albert has roughly 1/3 of the chips in play.

Small blind Dave Smith toys with some chips, listening to Flushy who's raised on the button (note, I didn't automatically say 'Button-raised'): "It's been a long tournament...three days, comes down to one decision..."
"You worry about your decision, I'll worry about mine," snaps Dave, slightly, "I'm just deciding whether to raise, or whether to call."
"You always have three options - call, raise or fold," helps Flushy.

Blinds Dave and Roberto give it up.

Well, after the shock has subsided and our 'technical difficulties' overcome and we've left Flushy with a Corona in the bar - play continues for the bigger money...

Maz Nawab in the small blind ponders Neil's 45k preflop bet... and eventually calls. 
Flop:  2s 5h 6d  Maz pushes, straight away.  Neil dwells for too long to be calling...the clock is called...


 ...and he passes - the pot goes to Maz.

Raj bets out and Maz passes.


Title: Re: Brighton GUKPT: Final Day - Interactive
Post by: Djinn on May 20, 2007, 06:47:50 PM
Roberto moves in on the small blind for a total of 134k...big blind Raj can't push him off, he can only call... "If I had more chips I'd gamble...if I pass, you show me an Ace?"
"I'm not going to show you this one..." says Roberto - both of them probably having visions of that prior Q-6.  Pass - another for Roberto (showed a Queen), who, however, is still in pretty bad chip shape, comparatively. 


Title: Re: Brighton GUKPT: Final Day - Interactive
Post by: Djinn on May 20, 2007, 06:53:33 PM
Now on the button, Roberto Romanello checks out the blinds' stacks, before raising a little - 28k total.  "It's so cheap you can't fold!"  Big blind Maz agrees, calling.

Flop:  6c 8d Td  Maz bets out 50k.  Sigh from Roberto - "All in."  "I have to call," announces Maz... (all of this in less than half a minute - totally the opposite of the last time-consuming hand)

Roberto shows:  6s 8h
Maz shows:  Js Tc

Turn:  Ac
River:  2d

And a brief period of countdown decides that Maz Nawab has in fact just been eliminated in 6th place, for £15,200.

Dave Smith limps preflop, Roberto limps on the button, Raj passes and Albert checks the big blind.

Flop:  4c 2c 4s  Albert bets 60k, Dave thinks about it and passes, Roberto passes, saying, "I've got a Four but a bad kicker. You'll see it on TV."
___________________________________

Roberto makes up the small blind and Neil raises to 54k - call from Roberto, and now Albert jumps on the bandwagon.
Flop:  3h 3c 9c  Albert bets out 80k (he's a fan of the call pre, bet out post flop) but finds Neil Carr raising to 180k.  Back to Albert who gives it up...showing 6h 6s.

Raj raises UTG, makes it 56k. Takes the blinds.

Albert limps UTG, Neil passes, Dave calls from the button, Roberto makes up and Raj checks.

Flop:

Roberto checks, Raj checks, Albert bets 110k. "No heart then?" inquires Dave, but eventually passes, as does everyone else. Albert shows Qh 3h.
____________________________________

Passed to Roberto on the button, who passes, he seems to be playing tighter than usual at the moment. Raj pushes from the small blind. Albert passes.

Raj raises to 60k on the button. Albert and Neil pass.

Because of Albert's dominating stack and his constant calling and presence in pots, the other players have really rocked up, slowing the game right down and becoming afraid to make any moves.
__________________________________________

Roberto limps, Dave checks the big blind.

Flop:

5s 3h Ahrt

Check check.

Turn:

Check check.

River:

Check from Dave, Roberto dwells, and then bets 35k. Dave instantly calls, Roberto shows A-8, Dave shows 8-5, and the chips go to the Welshman.

I sat next to Raj on Day One (briefly, before I'm reminded...) & I don't recall meeting him before, but he seemed to know me.

What a charming & lovely lad. I gather he won the Poker Million - news to me - but I took an instant liking to him. He has a lovely table manner, quite, reserved, well turned out, but when he enters a Pot, he does so decisively, & he had terrific table image, nobody dared tangle with him.

It'd be lovely to see him take this down, now that Flushy has departed, stage left.

Actually, I wish them all well.

Some kind of controversy with a flashed Ts...

Can't hear what's going on clearly any more as a low electrical humming noise combined with some great staticky distortion on screen has overcome our live feed.  Might have to go back downstairs, thus introducing a hand-lag... no, Chris is picking up a hand...

Roberto pushes in on the small blind when it folds round to him - big blind Raj gives it up.

Incidentally, this is Neil Carr's first ever live tournament. His brother bought him in as a birthday present. (That's a hint to my brother please. ;))

I had a feeling he might not have played live too much, or just have an idiosyncratic approach to chip stacking (see photo).  Plus he made that timewasting blind post involving 6 stacks of Ten 100 chips when the big blind was 6k, instead of two quick chips, thereby raising dealer blood pressure, something people tend to learn not to do live pretty fast. 

What a great present, though, it's keeping on giving.

Dave and Albert are in a pot.

Board:

6h Kh Qd 8s 6s

Albert bets 120k on the river, Dave calls with K-J and wins after Albert is forced to show A-J.
__________________________________________

Dave limps, Albert raises on the button to 60k, Neil is dwelling in the small blind, but passes, as does Dave.
__________________________________________

Albert limped (as per), Dave makes up and Roberto checks.

I'd give you a flop but it doesn't matter since the blinds check, Albert fires and they both pass, so it become inconsequential.
__________________________________________

Allbert limps once more, (He's apparently still down for the year, even if he wins). He sees a 2c Jh Kd flop with Dave, Roberto and Raj. Bets again and they all pass. Sigh.

Turn:

Albert checks. Neil moves in for 431k. Albert CALLS!

Neil:

Albert:

Someone finally takes a stand against Albert's constant betting and Albert still manages to call with no hand on the flop. Perhaps this tournament is about to swing another way...

Albert, with dented stack for the first time in a long while, makes it 80k preflop -  pass round.  Tilt appears to be moving anticlockwise...
________________________________

Heads up - 9d Td Qh  Dave checks, Roberto checks.
Turn:  Qh  Dave checks, Roberto minbets and takes that one.
________________________________

Aspades 2d 5s flop, Raj checks it and so do Albert and Neil, they see the Kc turn, check-check-check
River:  Ks check to Neil who gives it a go for 40k - Albert calls.  Neil has the Kd Qs - muck from his caller and some more chips for the birthday boy.


These are the edited highlights - play has slowed somewhat at this point.

I am afraid this is the one thing we don't have a good idea about - we're a good two floors and three corridors away from the final table, and our picture feed in the press room isn't totally steady.  I will brave the Stage in a convenient moment soon, however.

Dave raises to 60k, Roberto and Raj pass. Will Albert call? Of course he does. Neil passes.

Flop:

Kd 7c 7h

Albert and Dave both check.

Turn:

6s

Check again. I'm not impressed.

River:

Tc

Now Albert just decides to muck rather than just check. Pot shipped over to the Hat-wearing man.
______________________________________

Passed to Neil in the small blind, who calls and Dave checks.

Flop:

Jh 7h Jd

Neil bets 20k and Dave insta-folds. And the crowd dies a little inside from this tedium.
______________________________________

Albert calls, Dave calls from the small blind and Roberto (who is uber-quiet at the moment)......raises 60k more. Albert manages to push his cards away from himself and Dave passes.

1) Small blind Neil takes the big blind by raising to 50k.

2) Roberto pushes in preflop over Albert's preflop raise to 50k...presumably Roberto is expecting a call is more likely than not.  But Albert thinks for a good couple of minutes (Roberto silent, for once).  Call.

The collective press gasp as we find Roberto has tried to bluff The Caller of the Tournament:
 
Roberto shows:  8h 3d
Albert shows:  6d 6c

Flop:  Jh Aspades Jc
Turn:  4d
River:  4s

And Roberto Romanello is out in 5th place, winning £18,300

I'm sure Roberto will be kicking himself here, Albert has hardly passed a single hand after raising and was certainly the wrong person to bluff. Perhaps Roberto just got frustrated with being card dead for the last couple of hours. He wasn't his usual loud chirpy self, and the pressroom really thought he had to have a big pair because Albert must be calling any all-in at least 90% of the time, and he just does NOT pass. Anything.

It's a case of right move, wrong player at the wrong time.

Td Ahrt 2h flop seen by Albert and Dave (the latter the raiser).  Albert bets 80k and Dave, glasses perched precariously on the end of his nose where I imagine they are only ever used for focusing on his hole cards, announces all-in.
Albert Sapiano calls.
Dave shows:  Aspades Ts
Albert shows:  Ac 7h

I will now keep from being idle by reporting every single hand until something interesting happens.

Dave raised +40k preflop.  Raj in the big blind considers his options.  "You just want the blinds?"  he asks Dave.
"Pardon?" says Dave.  Hard to speech play when the other person isn't really paying attention.  He passes.  More for Mr. Smith.

Dave and Neil both check and Dave's Five with a King kicker takes the pot. A second barrel on the flop would've done it perhaps?

You'd request a dip surely?

If there is any actual hat eating done I want to see it on YouTube.

Well, play is restarting, and we hear from Jon Raab that they went off in separate directions...maybe there was no dealing... I am just going to say we'll never know, as that way the likelihood of hat-eating is reduced.

One pot each with no flop.  Blinds now 15k/30k ante 3k.

Dave calls on the button, Neil instaraises to 90k, call just as fast.
Flop:  Kd 8c Ts  Neil slows down, now, taking his time to bet 80k, called by Dave.
Turn:  4c  Neil bets a pondered 160k, called by Dave.
River:  6c  Neil bets more quickly now - 400k, placed with a thump over the line (in what looked like a 4x string bet but must have been announced out of our earshot)...
Dave passes on the river as swiftly as he'd called all the way there.

Dave raises on the button to 110k (it's been effective a couple of times preflop now), and this time Neil re-raises preflop, with a call.

Flop:  Ac Qs 6c the flop  Neil bets 100k; Dave calls.
Turn:  4h  Neil checks, Dave instantly moves in.... Neil passes.
_________________________

Neil (big blind) raises to 90k, called by Dave.  Flop:  6c Qs 5c.  Neil, who, incidentally, has been chewing something furiously and constantly during the final table (probably gum, would surprise me if tobacco) bets out to take it down.
_________________________

Neil raises on the button the next hand to 90k; Dave calls.
Flop:  3h 6d 4h  Dave checks, Neil bets 120k, Dave calls.
Turn:  4c  Dave checks, Neil checks
River:  9d  Dave checks, Neil checks and his Ace-high beats Dave's King-high.

Post by: Djinn on May 20, 2007, 11:56:38 PM
Dave has re-raised to 800k on the turn (facing a 200k bet from Neil) with the board standing 9-3-6-J... already a couple hundred in there from betting on the other streets, a possibly tide-turning pot is handed from Neil to his opponent...
____________________________

With the momentum of that, Dave...calls on the big blind; check.
Flop: 4c 9h 3c check-check
Turn: 5h  Neil bets 40k, called instantly
River:  Aspades  Neil bets out a stack of red chips equalling 140k, Dave instantly announces all-in, Neil looks heavenwards, scratches his ear, shakes his head and furrows his brow over the course of about 5 minutes, before passing. 
**apparently** he showed the mucked 5-2. (!!!!).

And since that, Neil's stack has taken a nosedive.

Dave has just taken another pot down, he probably has a 3:1 chip lead at least now.

Post by: NoflopsHomer on May 21, 2007, 12:06:16 AM
They see another flop:

Kh 8d 9c

Dave bets 30k, Neil makes it 80k, Dave calls.

2c

Dave checks, Neil bets 100k. Dave calls.

Td

Dave checks, Neil goes back to chewing. He's picking up some chips and bets 200k, which is enough to push Dave off his (likely) Nine or weak King.

Neil is back up to 1,206,000, Dave still has 1,861,000. 3:2 lead for the Hat man.

Blinds are now 20k/40k ante 4k.

Limp-check-flop: 4d Jd Ks Neil checks, Dave bets 80k and wins.

5d 4d Td flop looks exciting.

Dave raises Neil's initial bet 80k bet to 160k. Neil moves all-in. Dave wants a count... It's 936,000 more.

Dave calls.

Neil:

6d 2d

Dave:

Th 9d

Turn:

Ad

River:

7c

Meaning

Neil Carr is OUT in 2nd place winning £50,300

and

DAVE SMITH is the BRIGHTON GUKPT CHAMPION WINNING £95,100
