Post news of Iron's WSOP-E progress here please.

2.30pm, Wednesday.

Just spoken to our Man.

He's still in.

Must start at 3pm then?

3pm start

150 registered last night, so field of over 200 expected and a humungous prize-pool

Our hero is currently eating ahead of a long day ahead.

any news yet?

Not yet - Floppy and Jen are doing reporting over at Pokernews

http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2008-wsope/event-3/

cheers,didn't know if there was anybody down there railing him, was wondering which unfortunate souls were having to share a table with him.

GL to our man, can we find out whos at his table?  Lets hope the rest of his table forgot their earplugs!!

Update via text from Claw from within the Empire.

Ironside sharing table with Paul Jackson. He won one pot uncontested with a pair of sixes. Survived an early all-in splitting a pot with AAxx.

Dealer needs to chuck ironside an extra couple of cards imo, hes too used to playing 6 card omaha with us up here and wlil get confused when he doesnt have 10 billion outs

is Paul sponsored by anyone now?

The last time I saw him, he was wearing Logos for BadBeat, Ladbrokes, & Mansion. A talking Billboard!

Ironside has 14k.

"Ah, he must have taken his second set of chips already", I hear you cry.

But no, he has managed to accumulate 4000 chips.

I know, so am I.

Woooo, go Iron!

EASY MONEY

Woo.

Got to go to work soon. Will end up bugging some of the players for updates on this. Would love for him to pull a miracle out of his hat. Either way, hope he enjoys the experience and maybe takes out a big name or two for himself.

GOOOOOOOOOOO IRONNNNNNN

For those interested in Simon Trumper's progress - he is also the subject of blonde staking - there is an update here.....

Penly followers note our man is on 27k wiiiiiii

We're sat outside Pizza Hut having dinner. There was a film premiere next door to the casino. I got to the casino and managed to avoid being papped by arriving the same time as Konnie Huq, who drew the photographers' cameras.

Any more news on how Ironside's doing ?

he has been interviewed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

Prick.

You clicked it then  rotflmfao rotflmfao

lol the Rick Roll is so standard now its stopped me looking at all links to youtube!

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Well done Iron, keep up the good work.

I left the Empire an hour ago and Ironstein was still in fine form, having been recently moved to the same table as Robert Williamson III who, I gather, is a bit of an omaha whizz.  Had some fun on the rail with Gatso and Ben Mayhew, including a rather silly prop bet.  Gatso also took a fantastic pic of Ben with Doyle Brunson, with dolly giving an amusing hand gesture - hopefully it'll get posted ;D

Ironside seems to be holding his own with the sharks, and I'm looking forward to collecting my £218 share of first prize!

recent update on wsop site 75 of original 165 left in and Irons still there on about 20k!

cmon that man  ;slavedriver;

Sweeeet Very best of luck to Ironside what time will play finish for tonight ? And start tmoro

Any news on Ironside?  There's been very little.

Last level of the day, 63 left, hopefully including Iron!

according to chip counts, he is still in but short with 18k

sigh

its just been updated to show ironside busted :(

Boooooo shame, i hope he had a ball though and enjoyed every second.

From Poker News



"Fowl" River for Alistair

The charismatic Alistair Fowler has just been eliminated from the tournament by Robert Williamson III.

Fowler got his money in good on the turn holding top two pair (queens and tens), but Williamson had outs to match his overpair (kings), as well as an open-ended straight draw.

A king fell on the river -- the case king, as luck would have it -- and Fowler left the table a good sport, wishing everyone good luck in his exit.

After the hand, Williamson stacked up just over 70,000 in chips.

He's out sadly.  I watched the hand take place and he got his money in good with Q -J-T-6 on a Q-T-7-6 board, called by Robert (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=723) Williamson III (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=723) with K-K-K-J.

We were all hoping for a blank, but sadly the case King fell on the river to bust Ironside.

Just shared a cigarette with him. He's tired, disappointed but glad he got his money in good for a $40,000 pot, even if the gods weren't with him today

Ah that's a shame, well done Iron, played with the best of them and held your own, very well done :)

wp gg. Proud of yer.

hahahahahaha. A+

ironside you're rubbish!!!!! ;)


wp mate hope you enjoyed

wp sir. was all looking good early on, slipped a couple of bluffs through and built a nice little stack.

at least you got it in with the best of it and no shame losing to RWIII

the knock knock joke was not heard but ironstein did get benyamine singing (paul jackson however turned down the karaoke poker challenge)

Well done Iron, I hope you had a ball.

We all got good value from this.

Well done mate. Unlucky in how you went out.

WD hun, as long as you had fun thats the main thing :)

Well done Ironside.

wp Iron,  ;hattip;

You got it in good but it wasn't your night, hats off to you.

Unlucky mate a good effort! I hope you enjoyed the experience!

Anyone who is still up for a rail one time Dave Penly! 67k on day 2.

wp ironside!

awww unlucky Iron - well played though, and hope you enjoyed it!

Unlucky.

Just have to get a better dealer next time.

Unlucky mate, was really rooting for you

+1 and TY for getting up so early!

How do I get my money back?

Iron might be playing cash tonight.....

Thats £75 the mug owes me.

Well done Mr Side.

 ;hattip;

flop quad 8s, that generally does the trick....

Build a bridge.....and get over it  ;whistle;

oh Im well over it. what is funny though is how you managed to draw the mole (pissed as a fart) into putting nearly 200 quid into the pot as well, despite him not knowing what his cards were, and not knowing what game we were playing.

that sir, takes real special powers...

Very unlucky Ironside but VW played. Hope you enjoyed the experience.

Hope you enjoyed it iron. Same again next year?

id like to nominate Iron for the "Blonde Hall of Fame"

not for how he played in this event, but for the way he pulled the whole of Blonde Poker together and got the whole forum to stand behind him. Now i dont know if the number of backers he had is a record or not but im sure he deserver praise for just the efforts of getting the money collected.

Im not sure if many people could of done what Iron has achieved id be suprised if its more than a handful that could of raised so much money from so many people.

We all know the efforts Iron has put into Blonde since day one and im just glad we had a chance to thank him for his efforts.

+1

+2 but obv he's still rubbish!  ;)

+3 anyone can write a bhof entry, just submit it and the high powered panel of judges will cogitate on its merit. Or in this case put it straight in

Unlucky Ironside, better luck next year?

 ;applause;

-1...you're a fish...a fish I tells ya!

Hope you had a good time though :)

anyone know of a burlesque in town?

Great post.

forget that you must know a burlesque club after all you was around when they where invented

Hi Ironside,

Just wanted to say Hello and gg - that 5 minute break on the (admittedly red-carpet feeling) balcony overlooking Leicester Square was the only glimpse I saw of you.  We updaters all get buried in one specific corner for the day and I didn't get to report on your hands.  But next time! 

I don't even know what a burleasque club is. Is it a place where fat blokes go?

Yeah...to watch skinny chicks (wearing not much) dance.  Oh wait...pretty sure it's fat chicks in Burlesque clubs.  Have fun with that.

ok what is there to do in this town

I think my mate runs a burlesque night in London.

where

i am offically bored

Soho FTW.

I vote we all stake Tikay in next year

buggered if I know, I stop listening after he told me all he does is sit backstage drinking whisky and help the girls get undressed.

give him a call donkey

i vote u all stake me next year.................................

Names in a hat please.

Just heard the result, shame. :(

need staking for a massage

What sort of massage?

What's in it for the stakers?  8)

Go on then...get yer massage.  I have the money for ya here in Cork.  You'll just have to collect it first.

casino massage havent left yet. Staker gets the knowledge i had one.

And?  When's yer flight?   rotflmfao
