 :hello:

Well, We are at the venue, AND i have made an amazing discovery overnight ...

The "DO NOT DISTURB" sign is no longer a mystery to me ... I now know its exact meaning...

"Dont come into the room to make the beds or change the towels, but DO use the engine off a russian fighter jet as a hoover and leave it running outside the door for an hour, oh and bring your 4 year old son to work and have him scream blue murder at silly O'clock in the morning right outside the door, and for good measure, just as he is having his loudest tantrum of the year, please feel free to shout at him in an eastern european language TWICE AS LOUD AS THE HOOVER !"

And its groundhog day .... another day 1 .... lots more players all dreaming of the big score ... all boring the life out of anyone within earshot of this bad beat, that big coup, last years comp etc etc etc ... ;nemesis; ;nemesis;

And after all that ... Welcome to day 1B. I will smile at the right people and look interested in their tales, but secretly, hidden deep inside, i want to kill them.

which is code for "30 minutes for Kev to wake up get 4 strong coffees down his neck and practise being nice to people ;)

 rotflmfao  Good enough for ya Kev.  No harm keeping ya on yer toes.  Just get some coffee and get to work!  We've got people to cheer on around here, ya know.

Moorman has John 'Johnes147' Amis (spelling? Still waiting for a player list) 3 to his left on his table. Unconfirmed reports saying he tried to use a mouse to click and fold his cards the first time around...

Wick's haircut. You be the judge.

triggs hair is deffinatly neater than when he was at dtd

maybe he has just washed and combed it :dontask:

Early bust-out.

Greek Jack raises to 125, Dharminder Buttar (3rd in Walsall?) re-raises to 725, then seat 1/04 (no list yet) re-re-raises to 2,225. Greek Jack folds, Buttar calls.

7h Qd 8c

1/04 bets 2k, Buttar calls.

Qs

1/04 checks, Buttar bets 2k, 1/04 moves all-in Buttar calls and flips Qh Qc for Quads whilst 1/04 shows Kings and is drawing dead.

Steve Jelinek was pretty sure the Queens shouldn't be calling preflop which seems a reasonable assumption. Should the Kings also be able to get away post flop?

Greg 'Crosscourtbh' Howard, a woman who looks like that lady from Shameless, Ben Vinson and Pete Linton.

updates on andrew teng and james keys please

amirite?

(http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2518/alexmartinftwsh7.jpg)

any chance of a list of all the players? thanks

Henning Granstad has doubled up through Dharminder Buttar, raising his 1k flop bet to 2.3k on a 3d 8s 6h flop and calling the push quickly with 8h 8c against the Aces of the former Walsall finalist. No Ace on board and Henning is on 16k I think.

Dean Sanders, his first GUKPT surprisingly.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16275&g2_serialNumber=1)

Priyan De Mel and Gregior (for those who always wondered what the latter looked like). The former has just lost about 2k to Alex Martin, Alex c/raising the Kc 6h 5h flop from 325 to 1100, before c/raising all-in on the Jh turn. Priyan folded. Alex showed Ac 9c.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16277&g2_serialNumber=1)

Roberto 'Maverick' Romanello and Irina Liepina.

Moomin just told of us of a situation where he re-raised an initial raise of 150 to 500, before accidentally betting 3,500 on the possibly dangerous flop of J-T-4 two spades. He held his tail and prayed.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16284&g2_serialNumber=1)

Fortunately his opponent passed.

Ariston down to 2100 after another failed bluff....

Dewi 12k
Thewy 11k
Trigg 16k
Moorman 11k

Just heard Mick Fletcher is out ... no details.

chip count roberto and dan owston please

How many chips does Alex martin have please?

Hi Guys
Any information and updates on John Hughes Table 8 seat 1 would be great
Thanks in advence

Jeff Kimber is OUT

Table Ariston have shown him zero respect since hand one .... Its really quite amusing.

Moorman looks like a little boy lost without a mouse in his hand ... Is there really a massive difference between live and online tournament play other than the amount of hands dealt. ?

While at table 8, give a pat on the back to Paul, seat 5 & tell him ''January 2009- count down is on''

TY

No porn on 2nd monitor when you play live.

Alex Martin has 13k and is having plenty of banter with his table neighbour Jeff Burke ... i foresee a clash coming there soon enough.

Will chase up requests after the break for chip counts for Roberto, Owston, John Hughes.

15 minute break.

Is he wearing those lycra shorts ? the guy behind looks well happy  ;)

haha screamer

Roberto - 13k

Roberto 13k
Dan Owston 19k
John Hughes 10k
Paul Lammas 12k

Guess what ??



Ariston is out.

Jeff Kimber's loss may turn out to be Karl Mahrenholz's gain, the latter sneaking in from the alternates list having done a 'Reverse-Praz Bansi'

Andrew Teng went out just before the break with Kings against John Conroy's Aces.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16286&g2_serialNumber=1)

Predictions for how many will be left tonight ??

Yesterday we had 132 runners and 33 survived

Today its 176 runners

I am going for 49 survivors from today

57 is floppys guess

54 for me.

ty kev excellent updates as per usual.good luck dan and roberto

42 with roberto to take out 10

first spot on guess will win a pack of 3 Custard Creams which i am gonna steal from the hotel room*



















*I reserve the right to offer an alternative prize of the same value if i get the munchies and scoff the custard creams.

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=33201.msg697007#msg697007

make do with that ... Actually a true story ... 4 people have spoken too me today and said  "see what you mean about the lack of norkage in here"

Its hard to explain to the NAS that its 5pm on a friday afternoon in a casino in Manchester ... I dont think ZOO or NUTS are gonna be sending cameras to poker comps looking for talent.

Heading over in a few minutes -- Tell Dewi to hang in there and not get out before I arrive or else I won't make it past the bar to the £100 side game

Connor Smyth has doubled up his shortish 3.5k stack with a set of Twos on a Qh 2c 8h board against Kh Qs.

Albert Sapiano's unique tactic of calling on the flop to hit a gutshot on the turn has backfired so far today, he's down to only 3,000 chips or so.

Alex Martin c/raised Jeff Duvall and one other player on the turn of a 4d 7s Ks Th board, Jeff passed by the other player called. Alex checked the 4h river and was then faced by an all-in push of about 3,925. Alex thought for a moment before calling with a river counter-feited Tc 7d, but any fears he had went unfounded as the other player mucked and then left to head to the bar presumably.

updates on Tien Le, Binh Dong and Pete Linton pls, thnx

Pete Linton 21k

Roberto 14k
Crosscourt 5k
Trigg 16k
Moorman 9k
Dewi 12k
Thewy 12k
ALEX MARTIN top blonde at the mo with 21k

Chip updates on Michelle Orpe and Ian Holman would be just maaaaaarvellous.

Cheers!

Michelle is hovering around her starting stack of 10k

Alex FTW!

Flicks Triggs Willy ??   :dontask:

Bloody hell that was quick. The reporting I mean, not the way MO hasn't actually won or lost a bean ;)

How about Mr Holman? Table 2, Seat 2 IIRC.

Thanks again

we do our best :)


Truth is I just walked past her table on the way back to the press room, and i managed to force myself to look down at her rack stack, just in case someone asked ;)

Table 2 has just broken so you may have to wait til after the dinner break when we will have a full chip count of all remaining players.

Welcome to blonde anyway elBlandie, good to have you onboard.

Loving your work. And it's good to be here. Blame Tikay ;)

Nick "Quantify" Slade is going well has around 30k.

Marc Goodwins overnight stack of 150k will not be beaten today i dont think, and I am never wrong, ask Ginger.

wish the  ;flushy; dewi all the best and to ;slavedriver;

could we have a full chip count of all remaining players please

would apreciate updates on Tien Le - table 14. (distinctively short lad) lol

Henning Granstad now claims he's freerolling after raising pocket Tens after Nick Slade limped under the gun. Both checked the Q-J-T flop, fearful that the other had A-K. Slade bet out on the 7 turn and Henning just called. On the river Slade bet nearly twice the pot and Henning again just called, somehow having not gone broke against Nick Slade's Q-Q.

Alex Martin's 3-barrel bluff went wrong, min-raising 5-4o from the button and firing 600, 1,200 and 3,600 on the flop, turn and river but being check/called the whole way by the 6c 4c of his opponent on the Kh 9c 8c 7d 5d board.

Steve Jelinek and Jeff Duvall are both OUT, the latter being all-in with a  flush draw but running into the nut-flush draw.

We're just about to go on a break, so the Tien Le/Binh Dong will have to come after our...

****1 HOUR DINNER BREAK****

 ;goodluck; to Linton, Thewy, Trigger and Martin. Come on fellas!

Vincent Mather -- 8k

dan owston report pls.pls dont let him drink anything today

thanks

good luck Iwan Jones!!!

Ok, lots of stories now.

Julian Thew has knocked out Ben Reynolds with Jacks vs King Queen on a K-Q-J board.

Here he is, once more stacking chips, which must be second nature these days.

Also on this table, dinner break leader Dan Samson. (As in he lead in the poker tournament, not as in lead everyone to where they could have dinner)

Dan Owston -- 30k ish ("only four pints, I am driving after all.")

Thewy is running well 24k

Alex Martin has just taken a huge hit moving all-in on a Qs 8s Tc board and being called by Tahir Akran's Ahrt Qh, Alex showed the drawtastic Js Ts, blanks 5c and 8h on the turn and river shipped the pot to Akran.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16312&g2_serialNumber=1)

And who is Tahir Akran? Why he's blondeite 'Maldini32'

Here he is, though facial expression seems to suggest he's wearing Rick Trigg's skintight silver shorts, and they're a little too tight...

You know when you have one of those nightmare comps where you just cant do anything right ... well Debbie Littlejohn has had one, she didnt win a single pot all day, and she is out.

After the break Nick Slade button raised and Yilfer Shevket moved in, Nick made the call with A-3 and was shown A-5. That one ended up as a split pot, literally a couple of hands later, they're at it again, this time Yilfer shows Ad 6c, marginally ahead of Nick's Ac 5s. A 4c Jd 9s Ts 3h board later and Yilfer somehow doubled up.

Dewi is out, he reshoved his  Ac Kc and found the raiser with  Kh Kd he missed his miracle and is now at the bar with Duke and the gang.

Is Mr Martin nursing a bowl of rice now - how many grains does he have?

Alex was indeed nursing a bowl of rice, but has since built it into almost a BAG of rice by taking the blinds a couple of times in pushbot mode, before knocking out a short stacked Gregior for a 9k pot... so he is now just over 11k.

No chip counts for table 3, they lost the book. (That's the Greg Howard, Pete Linton, Ben Vinson table).

Micky "The Legend" Wernick is on a nose bleed inducing 21k .... other players will need crowbars to get them off him.

hi guys any updates on dave clark please

Hmmm, some of these counts are wrong as I know Andrew Teng was out before the dinner break. Will check with Jon.

Went just before the break I am sorry to say bud.  never caught a break all day.

120 players left and the Ave is 14,800

I shall be having floppy flogged for not looking after the clock properly.

he seems to be chipped up...................goooooooooo  Twigger

Andreas Hoivold is OUT. A re-raised pot between small and big blind with A-Q. A Q-5-3 flop, and an opponent holding Q-Q were his downfall.

Paul Gourlay -- 28k

With Pete Linton now in his seat, we think Vince Mather is out.

Glenn Ashworth raises to 1,600 from the cut-off, John Eames calls from the button.

Ashworth bets out 2,200 on the 9d 5c 7h flop and Eames raises him another 4,500. After a minute or so quiet contemplation, Glenn moves in and Eames calls. Glenn shows 8h 8d, slightly pipped by Ashworth's Js Jh. The Td gives Eames two more outs and loses him two outs at the same time, but the Qs river is not one of them. Glenn Ashworth up to around 18k.

Now that's funny

geo

Iwan Jones and Connor Smyth are both OUT.

Jason Shellum meanwhile was very happy about managing to fold Kings preflop earlier after, there was a raise to 500, he made it 1,500, then the player behind him made it 3,000. The original raiser pushed, he folds Kings and the re-re-raiser folds Queens. Aces should flat the 4-bet there and let the Kings push?

Paul Gourlay, "I've lost about 20k, first with T-9 on a T-9-6 board (two diamonds) vs 7d 6d to lose 15k, then next I raised K-T and hit a Ten-high board, only to bump into A-T for another 5k."

Alex Martin is OUT. "I've decided I'm going out on the piss instead."

That's the valet I was telling you about Kev (on the left), she worked in Empire St for years and is the nicest and friendliest valet I have ever met, without doubt.

Where the hell's the norkage?

It's the centre of Manchester on a Friday night... where do you think?  ::)

90 players left

Maldini32 34k
Rob Taylor 16k
Trigg 21k
Roberto 24k
Nick "Salad" slade 40k

Chip leader at the moment John Conroy 65k

John Conroy is now seemingly the man to beat, he's just knocked out Sean Fagan, with A-K vs 3-3, the flop proving pretty decisive when it came A-A-K.

Shortly afterwards, Conroy was at it again, re-raising to isolate Dharminder Buttar's A-K push, again Conroy was racing, and again it went in his favour as his Nines triumphed on the 6-6-7-6-3 board.

Conroy is now chip leader with 65k.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16343&g2_serialNumber=1)

Also going very well is Nik Persaud, the inform player of the GUKPT, 3-betting most of his stack on a 8h Ad Qd board to scoop a 30k pot or so against Adam Lawler.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16345&g2_serialNumber=1)

John Eames has just gone, pushing with J-9 into A-Q, he rivered a pair, but unfortunately it made a straight for his opponent.

Shouldn't you be on holiday?

Chip Counts at the end of Level Six. Thanks to those mad monks of BlueSq.

gooooooooooo Trigger

Trigger has had an accident ... he held QQ and was all in against JJ and AK  the Ace hit and silver shorts is down to about 8k

Mathew Stevens has also gone, his all in with 8k got a call from Finbar Tracey

Mathew had AK but 66 of Finbar tripped up on the flop and the cueman is OUT.

Another exit was blondeite Mark "The Thistle" McCluskey his  Jh Td went all in on a   7h 8s Ts flop but was called by  Aspades Js the turn was  Ac and the river was the  5s

Player Down.

did it all go in pre?

yes ...

Nick "Gwibbo" Gibson & Lynne Beaumont both gone and we are down to 77

Where is the Norkage Kev??? There must be more there tonight than last night..

On a side note, how the chezger gang doing in the £100 if you have time of course...  ;whistle;

Michelle Orpe is gawwwwwwwwwn she shoved her short stack in with 77 and got looked up by Glen Ashworth with AJ and hit 2 pair to knock out Purple lounge "ambassador" Michelle.

The motley crew of donks are all out ....
















Apart from Shogun who is still in with a half decent stack.

tell Trigg to get tiltshovin or the shorts come out

Wish him some luck and say hello to the donks.. Wing Commander drunk yet??

Rick Trigg is O U T ......

His trip 10's on the flop was Flushed on the turn... no details as to how the betting went, but Rick was short (about 8k) ... good effort Trigger ... Try "SOBER POKER" its the future !!!

James Kay is OUT. He shoved with 9-8 and got called by Andrew Brisland's T-T.

The flop came T-3-3.

"Running Threes!" shouts James maybe a little optimistically...Sadly this was a live game and not online though.

Maz Nawab's Kd 7d has outdrawn Jack Powell's 9c 9d on a 9c 5d 6d board, the 4h providing 3 extra outs, the Jd being the killer river to cause Powell's exit.

Nick Gibson's exit was with Aspades 6s to Steve Littlejohn's Ad Qd.

Pete Linton knocked Lynne Beautmont out, A-T vs A-J, hitting two pair and then rivering a flush.

"We've created a monster," says Henning Granstad.


Leo Kam is OUT, as is Mickey Wernick.

You win a digestive biscuit for asking the most stupid question of the day ... SIGH !!!


Seems he did, and it didnt work .... he just doesnt run as good as Luckbox Linton, who has amassed a healthy stack ... details to follow from the Floppy one.

ul Trigger, stick to online................you know it makes sense

BIG POT involving Nik Persaud and Karim Louis

I get there as the flop reads  6s 3d Qh

Nick Fires 5k at the pot and is re-raised by Karim another 10k

Nick Dwells but eventually makes the call and the turn comes ...   Ac

Check from Nick,

Check from Karim

River is  2d ...

Nick now bets 12k, Karims turn to dwell ... he eventually and rather reluctantly makes the call ... nick turns  Ahrt Qd and Karim mucks.

Nick Persaud now has a healthy stack must be around the 60k mark

Dan Owston has crippled Robert Romanello (who subsequently went OUT), Dan re-raising Roberto preflop, Roberto called then open pushed the 8-5-4 flop, Dan called though as he would done, seeing as he'd been holding 5-5, which now puts the Welshman on around 63k.

Double blow for the Irish, both Donal Norton and Rob Taylor are both OUT.

John Conroy has knocked another player with A-K vs 9-8.

Nik Persaud and Dan Owston after winning their big pots.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=16349&g2_serialNumber=1)

We're now on a short break before the last level.

Maz Nawab is my "I have snuck under the radar all day" player ... he has been quite short stacked pretty much all day ... but at the last check he is sitting pretty with 45k

Pete Linton in decent shape with 57k

Henning Granstad 43k

Dan Owston 64k

Julian Thew is OUT. Crippled with Jacks against Dan Sampson's Fours, he then had Ace Queen into Andrew Brisland's Kings.

Dean Sanders meanwhile is on ubertilt. Lots of people limped including Kareem Louis (2nd in Brighton), a short stack pushed for 4k and Dean Sanders pushed behind with Aces, a couple folded and then, apparently Kareem called all-in for 15k with Kc 4c and hit a flush on the river...

Sanders however just got a double up pushing over the top of Dan Sampson's button push with A-Q and finding himself up against J-9, though after the flop he was rolling his eyes up in the air when it came down 8-7-6, another 8 on the turn followed by a Q on the river has put him back in the game with about 22k.

Dean was telling me that after the hand in Monte Carlo last year, (He held 8-7 on a T-9-6 board vs Marc Karam's T-9 which hit running 6's for the chip lead with about 20 left) and then having the nuts rivered in the WSOP ME, he took a lot of time off tournaments and didn't play one until January this year, and that this is only his second, preferring just to play cash back in the Vic.

Dan Sampson has since gone OUT.

Roberto -- 0
Frank -- 0 (Apparently went out misreading the board much earlier, holding the nut straight but didn't see there was 3 diamonds on board)

51 players left, not significant you say ?

Bloody is, I have a £5 bet with Jonny Raab on players left at the end of play...

With 25 mins remaining its gonna be close, he has 44, I have 49 ... the bet is closest wins, so i can see 47 remaing and still scoop.

I have been down on the card room floor begging everyone to just lock up !!


ONE TIME !!!

No more out so far ... HOLD BABY HOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD

50 left ..... its gonna be close.


blondeite Matt "I have an extraordinarily round head" Tyler is still in ...

Pete Linton on 55k

Maldini32 has had an awful last hour, completely card dead and struggling, on about 22k

Nick Slade has lost a huge 40k pot or so with trip Kings against Aspades 9s that made a flush.

Maldini32 has managed a double-up with J-T. Against J-9. On a K-9-3 board. Queen on the turn. No more short sentences. Promise.

By some strange coincidence, all the big stacks have somehow ended on the same table, looks like maybe 1/3 of the chips in play on this one table.

Thanks all for tuning in, Day 1B's are hard for the updaters, I now know why, it really is like groundhog day, and 2 x 12 hour PLUS shifts is knackering.

Still tomorrow should be good, lots of decent stacks and plenty of poker to be played.

Flop Kc Tc Ts  check to me i lead and small blind just jams for like 35k, i beat him int he pot he has A9cc  and spikes the club on the river.. neverends.  rick

Was nice to meet you Kev great shirts - and flops maybe you should play the HORSE event at the WSOPE.

Never got a chance to build beyond 18k chips and got called on Level 8 by table chipleader when reshoving 13k chips with 99 into the BB who was holding AA when I thought he was stealing with a weak ace. Enjoyed the event gl Matt Tyler for you push botting today.

Mr Colchester Kev...were you spying my rack...erhem.... I mean Stack. Well on both counts there wasn't much to see haha. Come and say hello next time and give me some tips. I REALLY enjoyed this tournament actually and I learnt loads from it. The turth is I didn't exploit my womaness no where near enough. Generally they would all fold to my re-raises as I showed a couple of times when I hit. I should of used this a lot more. To start with it was great because I was hitting NOTHING everytime I saw a flop I had missed so every time I had the guts to re-raise I took it. If I got raised back then I knew where I was. It worked, I have no idea why I didn't do it more. I think because I actually had no hands and kept missing I figured...'I can't keep bluffing ALL the time' it's really exhausting when you don't have the goods. But I never got much of a stack, I just kept paying my rent till I went out. Especially at the end when I couldn't do a raise steal anymore because people were re-raising me all in all the time. The next one I play is going to be so different. I'm not gonna be scared of dying early. Its hard when you're sponsored because you want to last as long as possible because of the pressure you're under to make the cash, but because of this you play scared poker because you know if you go out too early you will be frowned upon. Not next time though.....next time I'm getting jiggy quicker when I'm under the average stack.

I played in the ELC at the weekend. It was GREAT to start with, my table was so passive I just kept stealing it was brilliant, I had doubled my chipstack within an hour. I managed to make it to the cash but unfortunately was short stacked and went out 10th. I had 10,000 chips and the blinds had just jumped from 500/1000 to 800/1500, there were two tables of 5 so only 3 hands to find something before the blinds so I pushed in with A9, then K9 and then A9. The 2nd A9 got called by 1010 and I went out. I had no choice though. So gutted. Liv was low and managed to find KK against JJ which was great and she doubled through, she went on to win it which was brilliant for her, I'm so chuffed for her. Just gutted I didn't make the final 8. But I think to cash in my 2nd sponsored tournament is not bad at all so I'm pleased with myself.

Anyway, hopefully I'll see ya at the next GUKPT I do, I don't know which one that will be yet. I'm off to the Dominican Republic on Monday to play in the World Poker Showdown woohoo so wish me luck for that one
