Quite a few well knowns and blondites left in. Mike Tindall is chip daddy with 106,000, Jen is 3rd (I think) with 77k as Grub Smith has 85k. Paul Jackson has 68k ish, Steve Holden still in with 52k. Ian Cox, Mark Herron and myself all hovering around average, as are Pete Singleton and Robert Butt. It all starts at 2pm tomorrow, I heard a rumour that Norman Pace may do updates...

So what happened to these updates?

Here's the press release courtesy of those nice bods at Gala.

Day 3-4. £500+£50 Main Event (15th – 17th June 2007)
Starting chips: 10,000
Clock: 45 mins (level 1-5), 60 mins (thereafter)
Prize pool: £70,000 + £5,000 added

Day 1a/ 1b
The Main Event of the GBPT Bournemouth started with the first two-day 1 event of the Tour. 140 runners started the £550 sit-down event over day 1a (Friday 15th) and day 1b (Saturday 16th) .

There was a healthy mixture of local regulars at the Gala Bournemouth Casino, satellite winners (including, as ever, a strong contingent from Teesside), online qualifiers and of course a selection of well known pros and celebs.
Gerry O’Farrell (2nd in Edinburgh) and  Steve Holden (Nottingham winner) sat down with England ruby stars Mike Tindall and Matt Dawson, ex-footballer and broadcaster Tony Cascarino, comedian Norman Pace, newsreader Fiona Foster, snooker legend Willie Thorn, as well as pros Paul ‘Action’ Jackson, Jen Mason, Paul Dempsey and tour regular Joe Beevers.
9 levels were played on each day, with 13 players remaining and 54,000 in average chips on day 1a, and 16 and  44,000 on Day 1b.  Mike Tindall (106,400 chips) was in a very strong position as chip leader as play entered the third and final day.

Day 2

29 players returned at 2pm with blinds 1500/3000 and a 300 ante.. 12 places were paid, and 8 would make it to the all-important TV table. The action started early with 3 going out in the first 30 minutes of play.

Mike Tindall took an early hit from Jen Mason, falling back to around 40,000 chips, however  he was soon back in a commanding position winning a number of decent pots. Ultimately however his TT was beaten when Grub Smith called his all-in, after much deliberation, with AA. Mike walked away with £1,050 in 12th place and the first cash position. From then on Grub stayed well ahead, playing his large stack extremely well as we approached 9 players.
As we entered the final table, positions were;

1. Grub Smith   590,200
2. Luke Wilson   165,500
3. Pete Singleton   148,500
4. Robert Butt   117,100
5. Baly Pottiwal   106,400
6. Paul Jackson   96,900
7. Dave Beasley   91,400
8. Muzzy Dehgham   88,200

By level 15, just 4 remained. Luke Wilson had gained nearly 260,000 chips to take a chip lead with Grub Smith falling back to second, following the loss of Robert Butt:
1. Luke Wilson   430,000
2. Grub Smith   390,000
3. Paul Jackson   370,000
4. Pete Singleton   210,000

Level 17:
1. Luke Wilson   864,000
2. Grub Smith   369,000
3. Pete Singleton   167,000

At 4am, after a mammoth final table session of over 7 hours, Pete Singleton and Grub Smith were finally heads up lasting just one hand, with Pete winning with a pair of kings.

Yeehawwwww

What happened to Jen if she took a load off the CL early on day two.

Was thinking exact same my thing, looks like she got a double up early on Day 2 surely she never spunked it all away?

I think I heard she got unlucky in a couple of hands. Unfortunately due to the amount of alcohol me and Flushy were knocking back last night I can't remember any more than that lol :)

She bubbled with A-Q vs K-Q.

And then her car broke down.

Double bad news for Jen. :(

I know Luke Wilson- he plays at my local gala casino (Leicester)

Congrats- one thing tho: u must have hit some cards!!!!!!!

Many congrats to blondeite Pete Singleton. If the Databases are correct, this was his biggest ever cash.

And his first festival win (if the databases are correct)

Well done Pete :D
