Jon Raab is lamenting the fact that there's no-one called Dave sitting on the final table with Chaz...

aren't we all

I'm going for Julian and Mickey primarily because they are the only two I have met, both top blokes 1/2 either way.


ps hope my bokking skills switch is on the off position.

GL to Coxy, Mickey and Thewy .... and TY to Floppy and Junglecatty for the updateys ;)

Thewy and Wernick FTW. Suprised Sunny isnt there with him, decent player and had a lot of chips towards the final bubble.

are they off?

Wish Thewy Micky and Ian good luck for me please.



I predict a blonde winner.

Still waiting to start, they're doing the walk-ons now.

I was going to take a few photos, when, and this is no joke, the waitress next to me sees my camera, and then asks me if I know anywhere where she can get some electronic alarms that are equipped with an infra-red beam...

Err...

Oops, apparently it's Chris More not Chris Moore. We never knew...

And they're OFF.....!

In the intro from Dougie, Chaz Chattha was 'braised' in London apparently... ::)

I'm sure he'll appreciate being likened to a steak.

by the way it is definitely BARBARA, not Brenda Gibson.

I could go into a long protracted explanation as to why I kept changing my mind about this, suffice to say I WAS STITCHED UP GUV!

Anyways on with the poker, it should be great with some genuinely class players at the table.

Good luck Julian

Jungle Cat.....rely on no-one son, even when told its Barbara.

....well almost!

More intros...

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1043&g2_serialNumber=1)

But they are in the seats, I swear...

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1045&g2_serialNumber=1)

Come on Julian! One Time!!!


 ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck;

Blinds will start at 4k/8k with a 500 ante, then go to 6k/12k with a 500 ante, 8k/16k with 1k, then 10k/20k with 1.5k.

The slight ante change was due the colouring up of the 100 chips, but Jon Raab didn't want the increase each level to be too huge for the players.

FYP

Ok, we definitely are off now...

First hand and there's a bit of excitement...

Chris Hooper calls for 8k, all passed round to Ian Cox in the BB who raises 25k more.

Chris calls and we see a flop.

Flop comes 7h 2h 9h.

Ian checks, Chris bets 15k, Ian check raises to 45k. Chris Calls.

The turn is the 8s.

Ian immediately pushes, and chris shortly folds...

A nice start for Ian Cox as he takes down the 150+k pot..

Barbara moves all-in against a Mickey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283) Wernick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283) bet on Kh Jh Td board.

Mickey says, "Maybe we have the same hand, Ace King...Ace Queen? All I can beat is a pair of Queens...."

He folds.

Barbara said, "You made a very good pass." We then overhear her saying she had Ace Queen.

1st £59,500

2nd £32,200

3rd £21,500

4th £16,100

5th £12,550

6th £9,850

7th £7,150

8th £5,350

9th £4,500

Mickey announces raise....."ALL IN!"

No one dares to take him on, and he receives one chunky set of blinds, punching the air in delight.

Super short stack, Richard Frost moves all-in, surprisingly everyone passes including Chris Hooper in the big blind, despite getting around 2-1.

Thewy raises now to 24k....scott passes, chaz passes, chris passes, barbara...CALLS.

Flop comes 9c 7s Jh.


Floppy is yelling "It's a Thewy FLOP!" in my ear...


Barbara checks, Thewy bets 25k and Barbara passes...

lol

Maybe it's because they are the two Plymouth regulars left in, and Chris didn't want to knock him out with junk :)

Chaz has raised....and Mickey Wernick...has moved ALLIN!

All passed to Chaz, who swiftly passes as well, fearing the bearded legend...

my thoughts exactly

Ian raises Scott's big blind from the button.

Scott looks at Ian "Smile then, you're supposed to have a good hand!" before passing.

"I don't button steal" replies Ian solemnly, but without showing his cards, the cheeky chap...

A new innovation this time is a tv above the table with all the chip counts, which is updated not every few minutes, not even every hand, but in real time! As people bet, their chip stacks are reduced by that amount, it's all pretty impressive.

Richard moves his short stack (25,500) into the middle.....and he is CALLED by Chris More.

Barbara calls from the BB.

Flop comes Qs 3d 4h.

Barbara and Chris, the two remaining live players check.

Turn : 5s

Check...check.

River comes an A.

Check...check.

TT for Barbara

AJ for Chris More

and Richard's 78 is no good, meaning

Richard Frost is OUT in 9th place, winning £4,500.

best of luck to all the blondes..hope thewy takes it down

Anybody know the latest chip counts?

Give me 2 minutes.

Scott (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=394) O'Reilly (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=394) -- 422,000

 ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck;

Barbara calls a 22k button raise from Chaz

9h Aspades 2d

Check check.

3s

Barbara checks a second time, and Chaz takes the pot with a well timed bet.

Hope a Blonde wins - but can I just say Chris Hooper - Hubba hubba hubba  ::)

I want micky to win this and julian to come 2nd :D

Looks like Juha Helppi to me...

Ian 'Crapper' Cox to win!!

Chaz,  Chris Hooper, Barbara and Mickey all limp on Ian's Big blind. Chris More completes from the sb, and Ian Cox reaches for chips to scare everyone, but checks with a smile.

The flop comes....

Js Qd 7h

Chris M checks, Ian checks, Chaz bets 35k and Barbara...MOVES ALLIN!

Everyone passes and its 74k more for Chaz to call...He thinks for a while, and passes, leaving Barbara to pick up the pot....

Chris More takes down the blinds with a raise, showing T T...

Chris Hooper, not to be outdone in the chris stakes, raises the next hand and wins the blinds (now 6k 12k by the way), showing down AK, and singing "anything Chris M can do, I can do better" in his head...

Blinds now 6k/12k with a 500 ante.

Scott O'Reilly -- 407,000
Chris More -- 313,000
Ian Cox -- 279,000
Barbara Gibson -- 196,000
Julian Thew -- 176,500
Chaz Chattha -- 176,000
Chris Hooper -- 128,000
Mickey Wernick -- 123,000

Whats going on with Thewy he doesn't seem to be yo-yo-ing seems quite steady, I predict he'll be involved in a bit pot pretty soon.

Julian raises to 30k, all pass, including Mickey in the BB who says "thought i had aces there" before showing 2 3 off suit.

Someone shouts out "You were ahead!"

Pure comedy.

Julian raises the next pot and again wins the blinds...

Chaz raises to 36k, Chris Hooper calls, Ian Cox calls.

Flop 3h 9h 5s

Ian Checks.

Chaz bets 45k.

Chris.....passes.

Ian passes and Chaz takes the pot down.

Chris Hooper claims he had TT which chaz has a laugh about.

"We're on TV, don't start lying now!"

great updates snoops and junglecat! )

:goodpost: ;iagree;

I think Chris does a good job

Chris More seems to be the most aggressive player on the table, any unopened pot passed to him in late position results in a raise and he seems to be less concerned by the cameras than anyone else.

Chris More raises to 30k, Scott O'Reilly calls.

The flop comes..

A rag rag

Check Check

TURN: rag

Check Check

RIVER: Q

Check check

Scott says "I've a Q" turning JQ.

"A Queen's good" says Chris, showing KJ revealing he received a somewhat unlucky river...

Chris Hooper moves in from the button on Mickey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283) Wernick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283)'s big blind. He takes it down...

Chaz raises to 36k from the cut-off, Chris Hooper moves all-in over the top. Slowly recovering from his big setback in the first hand. He has 217,000 now and has moved up to 4th place.

And he's not stopping... Hooper makes it 32k from the cut-off, Chris calls the 20k More in the big blind. (I'll get my coat)

Flop:

8s Th 5h

Check check.

Turn:

3h

More bets 40k, Hooper instantly moves all-in. More passes. Hooper shows 8-8 for the flopped set.

COME ON MICKY AND JULIAN !!!!

It's all passed to Mickey who moves allin.

Julian looks at his cards in the BB, and tells mickey "I've got an ace"

"You're in trooble if it's an ace" says Mickey, and Julian eventually passes, leaving Mickey to add a nice chunk of chips to his stack.

Barbara raises to 36k from UTG+1

Mickey fiddles with chips next to her sighing and mumbling to himself....

...."mind-blowing decision"...

sigh, beard scratch, sigh...

...."I call" he says eventually.

Behind him Julian wakes up and announces "ALLIN!"

Scott looks somewhat pained at all this action, laughing and shaking his head before passing after a while...

It's 143,000 more to Barbara and she decides to...

CALL ALLIN! Mickey passes...

Julian shows a pair of Queens, Barbara shows KQ soooooted.

6d 6c 7c 7h 8h flop...

...is no help for Barbara which means

Barbara Gibson is eliminated in 8th place for £5,350

And Julian is our new CHIP LEADER!

Mickey pushes his last 53k in with Jc Js

Chris Hooper calls with Kc Qh

Board:

4c 5h 9h 8c Ahrt

Mickey, "There's life in the old dog yet..."

yo

Incidentally in that previous exit hand. Mickey had A-Q and Scott had Jacks, a good laydown since Julian can only have one of the three big pairs there. I think Barbara will be rueing her call there though.

Thewy -- 400k.

yo

The following hand, Mickey makes a full house with K-Q and makes a milky bet on the river which Ian Cox pays off, he's gone from 53k, back up to 180k now.

Scott raises to a total of 35k.

Chaz studies Scott's chips....before calling with a sigh/ grunt.

Everyone else passes.

The flop comes

5d Kh 7d.

Scott quickly checks, Chaz bets 65,000.

Scott passes, and Chaz takes the pot down.

Scott O'Reilly dwelling before passing his Jacks in that big hand...

(http://www.blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1057&g2_serialNumber=1)

Barbara Gibson's exit

(http://www.blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1059&g2_serialNumber=1)

Next hand, Chaz raises to 38,000.

Julian Thew CALLS and Scott passes.

The flop comes 3c Kd Th.

Chaz moves allin instantly. Julian passes instantly.

Chris Hooper raises to 44k, Julian re-raises 140k more. Hooper moves in for about 50k more, Julian calls.

Hooper shows Ahrt Td

Julian has Aspades Kc

Board:

8c 9c Ks Jd 3s

Mickey, "You didn't expect that, did you Julian?"

(http://www.conranshop.fr/images/catalogue/hero/GiftWrap_Box.jpg)

Julian adds another 200k and has over 600k, roughly 1/3 of the chips in play.

Chris Hooper is OUT in 7th place winning £7,150

 :goodpost: ;iagree;

It's almost as if Julian has a reputation for re-raising with sub-premium hands so no one believes his bets.

Go The YoYo

The red wine is going to be flowing tonight...get the job done Julian.

YO HO HO !!!!!!!!!!!!

Think Julian "the human cannon ball" Thew may well bloody win this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much earlier in the first level, Julian passed 8's on the button to a Mickey Wernick raise to 26k. With both of them then around the 150k mark, there's not much reason to call, he though. What. A. Rock. :D

you sem to think its a formality.still some class left.ian cox can still win this.

Good Luck Julian


Hope you take this down

Regards

M

how very dare you

Chris More raises to 50k...

Mickey reraises...ALLIN!

Chris passes and Mickey works his bearded magic once more, showing AK.

The blinds are up to 8k 16k with a running 1k ante now...

Julian raises to 46k, everyone passes and Julian receives a smattering of applause as he rakes in the blinds

This is great reporting - loving it - well done all - and bring it home Mickey or Julian!!!!!!

Chip counts please?

And let's not forget what the remaining players are playing for, the world's bluest paperweight.

(http://www.blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1063&g2_serialNumber=1)

Ian moves allin from the SB and Julian swiftly passes his BB...

Next hand Ian raises to 37k from the button and finds Julian and Scott both passing, allowing him to pick up the blinds uncontested...

Ian asks wryly "would you believe three in a row?"

Julian appears to shake his head and Ian passes with a smile but Julian also passes... Scott passes from the small blind and Chaz's BB is returned to him with interest...

Julian now raises to 46 and Scott wakes up to move ALLIN!

Julian passes and Scott wins, "tekkin them chips down."

Chip counts:

Julian Thew -- 606,000
Scott O'Reilly -- 321,000
Chaz Chattha -- 286,000
Chris More -- 222,000
Mickey Wernick -- 200,500
Ian Cox -- 163,000

Mickey raises to 55k on the button, taking the blinds down without any turbulence.

Next hand, Mickey raises to 68k this time. Chris passes, Ian passes and Julian also passes, moving Mickey narrowly into 3rd place by a mere 500 chips...

Chaz now riases to 47k, Mickey passes, Chris passes, Ian passes, Julian passes and.....SCOTT...also passes, moving Chaz back into 3rd and Mickey knocked back to 4th. The battle for 3rd place is getting ugly!

come on micky and julian my% are looking well.

jungle can you ask floppy to skip across the road for me plz.

         thx barry

Passed round to Scott, who's been fairly inactive really so far, he makes it 40k, the others aren't wanting to get involved. He takes the blinds.

Julian wins the next set of blinds, afterwards Chaz says that he passed Ace Ten, "I'm not sure whether I should play it against you..."

Mickey makes a big raise to 75k from the button, More and Cox surrender the blinds, which crucially gives him 500 more than Chaz Chattha. That chip could make all the difference...

Probably won't though.

haha yep, my % with micky is good, he give me money all the time but i never seem to give him a bean...maybe he will get fed up and give me the boot?


LOL and i was 5% with julian at barcelona but not this tourney askl;fjasdklfjkl;asjjkl!!!!

Chaz Chattha raises, Chris More moves all-in from the button for 122k. Ian Cox passes in the small blind. Julian Thew calls from the big blind. Chaz dwells, it's roughly 75k more and he's clearly more concerned about Julian's flat-call than the all-in. He passes.

Chris More:

6d 6c

Julian:

Ac Qh

Board:

Jc Kd 4s 3h Td

Julian rivers a broadway straight to knock out Chris More in 6th place, winning £9,850

Chaz passed Ace King in that previous hand. He reasoned he couldn't call as it would cost 1/3 of his chips.

No matter, next hand Chaz raises, Mickey folds, Ian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=171) Cox (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=171) pushes his shortish 135k stack in the middle. Julian and Scott get out of the way and Chaz insta-calls.

Chaz:

Ahrt Aspades

Ian:

Tc Td

Board:

Ac 8c 5d 6d 9c

So Ian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=171) Cox (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=171) is OUT in 5th place winning £12,550

Go on the Bridgford Bulldozer! :)

Chip Counts:

Julian Thew -- 799,000
Chaz Chattha -- 389,000
Scott O'Reilly -- 346,000
Mickey Wernick -- 273,500

are you feeling any better floppy?.

I'm still blowing my nose every five minutes, but thanks for your concern sir.

Chaz calls on the button, Mickey completes from the sb and Julian checks.

The flop comes 3c 4h Js.

Check, check, check.

Turn is the 6d.

Mickey bets 45k, and Julian RAISES to 145k!

"Can't yer let me bloof won pot sir?" asks Mickey, before passing...

More chips to the yoyo one whose stack is only heading one direction at the moment...

Mickey raises to 60k...and picks up the blinds...

Julian raises to 46k, scott passes, chaz passes, Mickey CALLS from the BB.

The flop comes

3h Jc 5c

Check, check...

TURN: 2s

Julian bets 60k...Mickey passes and Julian collects the pot.

"Wish i 'ad a pair of 3s" says Mickey as he passes, and Julian shows a J proving he's not messing around...

Of these remaining 4 players, Scott O'Reilly is probably the least well known, but managed a very impressive 56th place at the WSOP ME in 2006, picking up a handsome 6 figure sum, certainly not bad from 8773 runners. He's also a lurker on blonde under the name 'Mongy' from what I gather.

Chaz raises to 70k, picking up the blinds for his efforts, moving him into 2nd with 347,000.

Chaz raises again, to 50k this time, picking up "them chips" yet again...

10 minutes of this level (8k 16k) left...

Julian raises preflop and is called by Chaz from the BB.

Chaz checks, Julian bets 50k, which Chaz check riases to 120k.

Julian passes...

Scott raises to 45k and all the players pass, as Scott adds the blinds to his stack.

Mickey raises to 60k and Scott.....MOVES ALLIN!

"Not a very good kicker", says Mickey, before passing...

"If you had an A you were probably stuffed mickey. SInce you passed you were DEFINITELY stuffed" says Scott.

Scott is a regular 5/10 nlh player and won a wsop seat at pokerface 2007 and also cashed at the Golden sands festival. He is my tip to win this  :)

No way, hes going to come 3rd to micky and julian ;)

Blinds 10k/20k with a 1.5k ante.

Chip Counts:

Julian Thew -- 853,000
Chaz Chattha -- 437,000
Scott O'Reilly -- 368,000
Mickey Wernick -- 140,500

That TV Chip Count Screen. A great innovation from Blue Square.

(http://www.blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1065&g2_serialNumber=1)

Julian and Mickey take turns to win the blinds with preflop raises.

Suddenly Mickey moves ALLIN from the sb

Julian shows 57 off...and passes.

Now, Julian riases from the SB, and it's Scott's turn to pass.

Involved in a pot with Mickey, Chaz and Mickey both check the

Ks 3d Ts flop

the turn Jd is met by a 35k bet by chaz which convinces Mickey to fold...

Next hand Mickey mumbles "looking goood, looking gooood baby" bizarrely, before passing his cards.

Mickey might possibly be cracking up slightly, but he is breaking the wall of silence that has built up between the players as he is now heard mouthing "it's been emotional folks"

Good on ya Mickey.

Just to illustrate the sheer size of Thewy's stack now (He has rougly half the chips).

(http://www.blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1067&g2_serialNumber=1)

Mickey moves ALLLIN for 90k total or so...

Chaz asks him for a count saying "I'm trying to work out if my King High is good..."

Eventually Chaz passes, saying "Don't want to give you chips"

Take it down Thewy, gl m8

2nd for the worm please

Mickey moves ALLIN once more....Julian studies him thoughtfully before....CALLING!

Scott passes and Chaz also calls...

flop comes 2s 8c 8s.

Check, check

Qc turn

Check check

5c river.

Check check.

Mickey shows down A5 which is behind to Chaz's JQ meaning....

Mickey Wernick is out in 4th place, winning £16,100.

The remaining three have gone off for a short break.

Julian Thew -- 764,000

Chaz Chattha -- 700,000

Scott O'Reilly -- 333,000

The remaining payouts are:

1st £59,500

2nd £32,200

3rd £21,500

So I would surmise there may be dealage afoot... 43/43/27? Any thoughts?

Julian wont do that deal Jungle

********In fact, we're now going on a 1 hour dinner break**********

just a word on Micky the legend wernick's performance - he never ever had chips throught the tourney but yet again played a near perfect game - awesome player and a gentleman - now Julian go on to win it m8 even tho i missed my 5% AGAIN :)

GL Jules.
take it down!

It would not be that bad of a deal imo as they would still be playing for the added £10k..

scot  as good as  any  player out there

i played him good player  he will win this    i like to see julian to win but    scot s also good

on the deal why would Scott want to do a deal for 5.5k more than 3rd 1 double up and he is chip leader then then looking at 48k more than 3rd but gl all

Scott is still gonna win and I cant see him doing a deal

Chaz all the way. Another notch for the Hitsquad.

Chaz is a class act and top man - nothing against Scott but I'm rooting for both Chaz and Julian

Yep. CC all the way.

During the dinner break, which incidentally was rather tasty...

...a deal was struck between the players but they have now restarted playing for the small matter of the added prize money, the seat and of course the shiny watch.

Come on CHAZ ;first;

Chaz raises to 70k on the button, and Scott....PUSHES ALLIN!

"I've got an ace" says Chaz.

"How's yer kicker" Scott asks in a strange but humourous voice.

Chaz eventually calls with....

A4

Scott is amazed that he's marginally ahead with A5.

The flop looks like it's heading chop-wards as it comes

Jc 6s 6c Qs...

BUT Scott hits the 5h on the river to double up...

...and chaz has taken a big hit to his stack.

Julian Thew -- 788,000
Scott O'Reilly -- 526,000
Chaz Chattha -- 488,000

Chaz raises on the button to 60k and Julian calls...

Julian checks the

3h 5c 8s flop, and chaz bets 80k.

Julian now check raises to 220k and Chaz passes..

T. W. I. C. D.

Scott raises to 60k, Chaz moves all-in. Julian folds. Chaz has 341,000, Scott has roughly 541,000. Scott says, "Let's gamble, I call."

Scott:

6c 6d

Chaz:

Kd Ks

Scott says, "Bah, I was hoping it was going to be Ace King this time..."

Board

5d 2h 9s Kh Td

Julian and Scott see an unraised pot.

Kh 3s 6s

Check check.

9c

Julian fires out 30k. Scott calls.

4s

Julian fires again, 70k this time. Scott says, "Interesting line, Julian. I really want to make a sadist call."

He throws away his T-3. Julian mucks his winning hand.

Scott announces allin for 140k or so, both and Chaz and Julian pass, the latter laughing as he turns up 72.

Timing is everything...

Chaz raises to 70k and Scott announces ALLIN for 175,500.

Chaz says "This is one of my friend's favourite hands, this is..." but ultimately passes, and Scott wins the pot preflop.

(http://www.b3tards.com/uploads/YO-yo.gif)

Julian raises to 60k, Chaz re-raises to 250k. Quickly ending that one.

Julian takes the next pot from Chaz though, checking his A-6 on the flop and turn, making top pair on the latter, and allowing Chaz to hit a pair on the river and call Thewy's small river bet.

Blinds now 15k/30k with a 2k ante.

Julian Thew -- 896,000
Chaz Chattha -- 652,000
Scott O'Reilly -- The rest. (about 250k)

The Red 20k chips are in. Scott has asked, "Can I just have one...?"

Chaz goes allin from the button and both blinds insta-pass.

Now Scott moves allin from the button for 230k AND......

Both blinds fold.

Julian limps from the SB. Scott checks.

The flop comes 3h 8s Ah

Julian checks, Scott bets 30k, Julian passes.

Come on the HITSQUAD ;snoopy'sguns; ;snoopy'sguns; ;snoopy'sguns; ;snoopy'sguns; ;snoopy'sguns;

Scott limps in, Chaz checks.

WP CHAZ  ;snoopy'sguns; Ahrt Ad

After betting the flop and turn and receiving calls of both bets by Chaz on a

 J 9 3 x 8 flop, Julian shows a 9 which is good enough to take it down and move him into the chip lead...

Heads Up Photos.

It's "Serious Julian" now, he's wearing shades and a smartly attired Chaz Chattha in Blue Square gear.

It was a pleasure to be in Plymouth for the GUKPT event, the atmosphere was spot on and the event was problem free throughout...

The entertainment provided by having the smoking area outside the front of the casino in a center full of clubs and pubs was absolutely priceless ... havent laughed so much for ages .. Brilliant !!

wonder why ,well done julian .top bloke.

Colchester Kev, myself, Junglecat and Crapper stood outside having a smoke...

Car pulls up. Girl shouts "Do you guys wanna see some tits??"

I reply "yeah!"

Girl in back seat flops top set out. Junglecat and I cheer and say thanks!

Car pulls off. Kev and Crapper go "What'd we miss?!" Priceless!
