It's a military operation though, after all!

is stu not backed by grosvenor? and can he confirm if J8 is a fav hand?

Gl to Simon Deadman again!! It seemed to work yesterday.

Also massive GL to Tighty, 16 hours yesterday is just unreal! Keep up the good work.

Yes good luck to Mr Deadman. The guy always seams to get chipped up early in tournaments.

Pics of Jenkins and Rutter in todays suit please

Great updates yesterday Tighty
GL Ben Jackson

I'll be running around doing updates today, the wheels are coming off already though my laptop wont connect to the wifi, the casino staff won't spill the password for the staff network so I can only post from my phone!

Long day ahead I suspect

Gl to Ben Jenkins, Mark McClusky, Stuart Rutter, Matt Frankland and Simon Deadman today, 'bout time one of them won something! ;)

i vote dan doesn't have to be impartial as he's volunteering. rip em to shreds mate!

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TbwMsXnaC1I/AAAAAAAARW0/Fj5_vMPieOI/IMG_6888.JPG)

Some interesting table draws - DTD Heroes Nick Hicks and Simon Deadman both have chips in Table 9 so could be some interesting action over there

Its been pretty jam-up action so far

On table 6 Lee Taylor raises the button playing ~24k and the BB Stephen Boyd peels from the BB

Flop  7h 8h 2c

Boyd leads for 3700 which is about a pot size lead

Taylor jams for 22k and Boyd dwell folds

£173,000 prize pool

17 paid

£2,150 for 17th

£48,880 for first


58 left currently

Tastey. Under 2 mins from question being asked to answer. WP Tighty.

Over on Table 3 Nam To opens to 3100

Kevin Williams jams his last 12k

Mark James shoves over the top covering both

To folds  Ad Jd face up and we're on their backs

Williams  9d Qd
Jams  Tc Ts

The board runs  5h 8c 6h Js 7d

Williams pings his gutter on the river to double up

Stuart Rutter makes it 2,200 from the cut off.
Paul Grummit raises to 7,500.
Matthew Frankland then 4 bets to 13,300 from the big blind.

Paul moves all in and Matthew calls...

Matthew.....K-K
Paul.........A-7

The board comes down 2--6--Q--2--J

Matthew Frankland takes the huge pot and doubles to 78,000.

Hicks / Deadman 1/2 ..... Mole and Bam to Bub/ble.

Stuart Rutter opens for 2.2k and Paul Grummitt re-raises to 7.3k which is then re-re-raised to 13.5k by Matthew Frankland, Stuart folds but Paul goes all in and Matthew calls him.

Paul shows   Ac 7 5c

Matthew has  Ks Kh

board is  6d Qc 2h Js

Matthew wins a pot of 75k

56,000

average is 45,000

think this is a fail dan.....have another go or forget hh and just piss take

Praz Banzi arrived 30 minutes late and has already knocked out Richard Orford and Chris Lythgoe

Banzi had Kings both times, against Ace-King for Orford and Ace-ten for Lythgoes

Banzi moves to 70,000

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TbwU30zIGnI/AAAAAAAARXk/__OYh2q8wuU/IMG_6896.JPG)

Another sizeable pot on Table 6

it folds to Craig Burgess in the SB who limps

Danny Tran in the BB checks (fast paced stuff so far)

They see a  Kc 9d Qd flop

Burgess checks and Tran fires 2200 and gets check raised to 8000 which Tran calls

Turn is an interesting  8d

Burgess fires 20k(!!)

Tran dwells for a bit and folds showing the  Ks

U sure?  cant see a straight here for williams

Rana Gurnam knocks out Helena Brett

A-10 holds against King Queen all in pre

this is not Rana

OP fixed

Paul Grummitt just busted jamming 27k from the cutoff against a middle position open to 3100 from Senh Man Ung

Ung dwells for a while and calls with  Aspades Kc

Grummitt shows  Qd Jh

Board runs  Jd 9d 2s Ac 4c eliminating Grummitt and sending Ung to 67k

chip leader Steve Warburton raises

David Baraclough all in for 900 only

McCluskey isolate-shoves on the button

Short-stacked Dale Harper calls all in in the small blind

Faced with 3 players all in original raiser Warburton ponders and calls with a maximum liability of less than 1/5 of his stack

on the merits of the chip leader with  4s 5s calling 18,000 to win 70,000ish total against three opponents


I think I'd take a shot for 18k out of a 120k stack

Dan is Poker stoving and says no


thoughts?


3 all in

Craig Burgess

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TbwblHHgAhI/AAAAAAAARX0/3ujbRe5kllo/IMG_6898.JPG)

Dan is usually right I'm afraid tighty.

Simon Deadman, right up there

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TbwbkvDsoTI/AAAAAAAARXw/9-nRaQvhrjU/IMG_6897.JPG)

Damn, he is

I will not be outgeeked I tell you

1-0 to him though

Squeeze!

Simon Deadman opens for 2,600 in the cut off

Stuart Rutter jams 26,000 in the big blind

Deadman calls

Not in Rutter’s plan as he has

Q♥

6♥

Deadman

K♠

K♣

No miracle, and Rutter is OUT


As Stuart said "pretty disappointed he had Kings there"


Well yes, there's only 100 or so hands he can open the cut off with

looking forward to the same suit  for stu in the next event. gg sir and nice call  simon

The first break should have been at the end of the first level which was a bit redic so it will take place at the end of this level which is in about 20 minutes.

Andy Miles had lost a big chunk of his stack before this hand

He wasn't really in the mood to tell me how after this hand as he left with the speed of Usain Bolt



Robert Lacey opens  Qc Js

Miles jams  Kd Kc

Lacey has to call for a few thousand more


board runs out  5s Th 3c Ahrt Kh

Ouch

APAT on Sky Poker action

Ben Nuttall raises, Brian Martin flats on the button

flop  7s 2h 3h

check check

turn  8c

Nuttall 3,000

Martin 11,000

Nuttall passes


Nuttall about 45,000

Martin 60,000


-----------------------------------------


On a board of  Td 3h 4c 9s 9h

Rana Gurnam leads for 3,000 into 5,000

Nick Hicks raises it 5,000 more

Rana calls with  Th Js

Nick mucks

Do not try to move on mostly-calling stations Nick!

Ryan Spittles up over 100,000

Most progress today he tells me when he four flushed with AQo against QQ all in pre


Fish.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The two chip leaders by a fair distance are Steve Warburton and Simon Deadman


Chip counts are promised in the break.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Terry mitford shoves  Kd 2d on the button

Mickey Wernick, who to be fair is one of the big blinds you want to be shoving random stuff into when short

Finds  Ac Kc


the board runs out  3d 9d 2h. Mickey is in full cry with his usual refrain "don't do it dealer"

The dealer does it.  2c on the turn

Unlucky Mr Wernick

Steph Boyd down to 20k shoves and Craig Burgess makes the call

Steph A-7
Craig 7-7

Board 9-Q-Q-3-4

We lose Steph Boyd who has had a card dead day


45 left

folding  4s  5s

Very (sick good) player from leeds

Had  a big win in London last year - like the european open or something

like most good Leeds players he [  ] plays live

i've seen him play the 2/5 game in gala leeds before with lildave. confirmed sicko.

lol Mr Morgan post coming on the  4s 5s hand. Watch out!

meanwhile as we break after 10 levels

45 left, 17 paid

50,000 average


keep it here

He is shite at Werewolf.

Praz Banzi raises utg to 2600  Robert Lacey calls in mid as does Jerome Bradpiece who is the BB

Flop is  8d 6h 9c

Praz bets 3600 Robert calls & Jerome raises to 11,700 and Praz says all in.

Robert folds,  Jerome calls Praz shows  7s Ts Jerome shows  Qh 9h

Turn  3h

River  6d

no help for Jerome who we lose and Praz goes marching on to 110k

£173,000

1 £48,880
2 £34,830
3 £ 21,930
4 £13,330
5 £10,320
6 £8,170
7 £6,450
8 £4,730
9 £3,440
10 £3,010
11 £2,580
12 £2,580
13 £2,150
14 £2,150
15 £2,150
16 £2,150
17 £2,150

It worked out being 18k to calling 54k so 45s is getting 3 to 1 so needs 25% equity

Its pretty tough to pokerstove because of all the side pots. I've left out the guy calling all in for <1bb from the calculations too because stove assumes that everyone is playing for the the same pot

The main pot accounts for about 43k of it and is just heads up with 45s vs Mark McCluskys jamming range which I've put conservatively as 77+, A9s+, QTs+, AJo, KQo

Overall against fairly strong ranges (which they both should have, he can't really expect the guy calling all in for 10k to clown it off with 56s) the  4s 5s is ~24% which needs to be weighted somewhat towards the 33% number because most of the pot is heads up. That'll tip it over the magic 25% mark to make it a +chipEV call

ICM hates calls like this so that'll take it down a bit but overall I don't think its ever going to be worse than breakeven

Sorry to shake your faith Alex but its 1-0 to Tighty. Early doors though.

Epic.

sigh. next thing you'll change you're mind that board pairing turn cards are excellent cards to barrel on...


early signs are good Dan, more of this pls!

Its been a tough hour for Matt Frankland, lost a big pot before the break to put him down to 22k from a peak of 80k

Just now Martin Holmes opened in the hijack for 4200

Frankland jams for 22,300

Holmes dwells up and eventually calls from his big stack with  Ks Qc

Frankland shows the likely chop with  Kh Qd

Board runs  Ahrt Jc Td 5s Qh to chop with the nuts

Just been told that Ben Nuttall is out, he shoved with A 9 and ran into 10's and didn't improve.

Booooooooooooooooo

Seems to be a decided lack of aces for the Sky Crew :( Live poker is soooo rigged, it would never happen online ;)

Excellent work team

xx

Richard Horton opened 10-10, Nuttall shoved from the bb for 16x bb, called

Here is the newly Minted Horton's stack...

Alan Mansbridge raises and John Miller 3 bets and Alan 4 bet shoves for 22,750 called

Mansbridge Td Tc

Miller  Ad Qs

board runs out  7s 7d Kd Jh 8d

Mansbridge doubles and cripples Miller

go  on  Simon. would love justin devonport  to win as well

Arrived at Praz's table to see a board of  Qh 9h Ks 6d 9d and there is about 40k in the middle.

Praz leads out for 30k and is called by Robert Lacey

Praz shows  Ts Jc Robert shows  Kh 5h and Praz picks up another nice pot.

this is starting to look ominous as well tho. again

Where does he get those hands from?

Simon Deadman opens to 2,300

Wayne Rideout calls in the cut off

Mike Ellis 20,000 in the small blind from 80,000

Deadman up over 300,000!

Omg omg deadman rules!!!!!

John Miller raises Akhh

Andrew Booth is short and shoves A3dd in the big blind

Booth fails to hit and is out 39th

Miller recovering

WOWOWOWOWOW Nice swerve Wayne!!!!

GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

The Mike Ellis stack is about to be passed over to Deadman

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/Tbw0hOoI9kI/AAAAAAAARY8/4WH22NXdjMM/IMG_6912.JPG)

Wayne Rideout and Simon Deadman clash

All in pre, 60,000 pot

Rideout Q-Q

Deadman A-K

Ace on the flop, King on the turn

Deadman 360,000 which is 80,000 over a final table average stack with 37 left

Rideout departs.

Ben Jenkins doubles to 55,000

Raises with JJ utg and is set in by AQ

He holds

So fooolish trying to win a flip vs Deadman....



Goooooo Jenkinnns!!!! (and spittles!)

Dmorgan been IDd and ejected?

DMorgan is eating a Full English

Funny that, I didn't give him permission to eat

I didn't see the action pre flop but on a flop of  2s 7s Ad

Rob Boon bets 8,000, Danny Toffel calls..

The turn comes  Qd

Danny checks to Rob who again fires, this time 15,000, Danny quickly calls....

The river comes  Tc

Danny decides to bet this time making it 36,000, Rob goes into the tank before making the call...

Danny turns over  Ks Js for the nuts!!

Rob turn over  Kh Ahrt.

Danny Toffel takes the pot and now has 175,000

Rob is down to 75,000.

Brian Martin and Praz Banzi go to war

Brian has raised, Banzi calls

flop

 2d 8d Ahrt

Martin leads, Banzi calls

turn  6c

Banzi checks, Martin shoves

Banzi "do you have Ace King?"

Calls and Martin is at risk

Martin  Ad Qd, very nice

Banzi  Aspades Tc

river  Th


Banzi does it again, and moves to over 250,000

26 left, 17 paid

chip leaders

Simon Deadman 360,000

Praz Banzi 280,000

Steve Warburton 260,000

Richard Horton 250,000


Can Banzi go back to back?


Stay tuned......

Grosvenor full english is horrific. Never again.

Darren Stanley out 27th, shoving K-Q short and being called by Horton's Ace-X which holds

Confirmed Dan, had it yesterday, couldve warned you.

How come no mention of Steve Warburton in any of these updates? Looks like he is doing well in the chip counts. And he's a really good player too.  But all we hear is how Simon has coolered someone/won a race, or Praz has outdrawn someone/flopped a straight etc.

This isn't deliberate and his 45s hand got a lot of coverage

Its natural that two of the chip leaders get a lot of the coverage, they're playing the biggest pots in the room!

Ben Jenkins moves above average

Ben raises to 4,400 pre and is called by Praz Banzi on the button

flop

J♠

8♥

4♦

Ben 5,700 is called

turn

5♣

Ben 11,500 is called

river

A♥

Ben 17,300

Praz reluctantly calls, not sure Ben has anything

Ben shows

K♥

K♦

Jenkins now 120,000

because our job is to report the big action if we can, and Steve hasn't had any recently?

Don't know you dan but nice one for helping with the updates! Top stuff!

goooooo Praz!

Fair enough guys... sorry for tone of my request... I just typed it quick and clicked 'post' and didn't realise it had come over with that tone. Last sentence was supposed to be funny/sarcy... but never worked!! lol

That said... how is Steve doing??? :)

Jenkins tearing up table 2

Jenkins raises UTG, Ryan Spittles peels from the BB

Flop  Kc Ts 4s

Spittle leads 5800, Jenkins calls

Turn 6s

Check check

River 3s

Check check again and Jenkins shows  Jd Td to claim a smallish pot

Just spoke to him

He has 170,000 after he was forced to 4 bet fold just before the break to 3 tables

His break of table puts him on the non Deadman table and he has avoided Banzi too

He is out of position to another big stack Danny Toffel though

Absolutely, really really appreciated by both him and Supernova

there is not a single holding I am doing that with live (esp with these stacks)

In 5 minutes time we hit the end of Level 12 and the 45 minute buffet break

What delights has the Walsall kitchen in store for us?


26 left, 17 paid and full chip counts coming in the break

Sole surviving team Sky Poker member Ryan Spittles, "scotty77" on blonde, 140,000 and nicely above average as the break comes

John Miller over 100,000 from a micro stack earlier


Shaping up to be a dramatic run down to the final


Stick with us, please

Get to a board reading A-8-3-2-5

Craig Burgess and Praz Bansi are involved and the pot is about 25k

On the river Craig checks to Praz

Praz thinks and bets about 80k setting Craig all in for his last 35k

Craig thinks and thinks and eventually calls

Praz shows J-10 for Jack high

Craig shows 8-9 for 2nd pair to win the hand as he fist-pumps and collects the pot seemingly very happy with his call on the river

Maybe he was deep enough to 4bet bluff, Guy. Hasn't deadman knocked anyone out recently? Come on man!

YEY!! Excellent work Dan, Superduper & Tighty

xx

Mickey Wernick exits on the last hand before the 45 minute dinner break

Wernick has 4bbs left in the big, Daniel Stanway raises and Mickey calls it off with  Kd 5h

Stanway has  Qd Qh and flops a set to send The Worm to the rail

25 remain in the hunt

is this a rub Cos. you know everyone

GLGLGL Jenkins and Simon, 1-2.

post a picture of the 3 bloggers please

MBN to be Deadman. I just wanna know what's gonna happen when he and Banzi flip for it!

Good updates all

Bansi is with an s btw. Make sure they get the spelling right on the trophy ;)

dealers head asplodes I guess

 
 Qh Th it was ...gogogo praz

er, no

Sigh was just gonna use that line jason. Fml

Story with buffet?  And have you been running good with front of line?

lol. you gotta be up early in the morning to beat me in taking the piss son. in fact you may just have to stop up all night ;)

Yesterday was appalling. Beef Curry though my sources reported the Pork curry was nice


today I had lamb shank that simply melted off the bone, gorgeous

Green beans, new potatoes

Could have had Macaroni cheese or Shepherds Pie


I sweet talked a lady called Marie into giving me seconds


Front of queue sadly lacking this week, too busy to plan in detail the timings to make it there

I am setting up for a Bacon Cheeseburger and fries about 11pm if yesterday is anything to by, though im my defence I didn't have breakfast, lunch or a mid afternoon snack

before the break, the Burgess light call. it was reported

I once rivered Greg Hunt after shoving 8bb with K4 and him calling with QQ.  Despite having quite a big stack at the time he moaned about it for a good half an hour after.  Can only imagine his reaction to this one.

Harish Bhat shoves all in for 15k
Craig Burgess isolates with 40k and gets no further action

Harish 10-6
Craig K-K

I arrive back at the tables to see Simon Deadman lead 27,000 into about 40,000 on the river of a board of

 9c 9s 4h Td 5h

Martin Holmes dwell shoves for 59,500 more


Deadman is exercised

"You might have fives? fours? a nine"

"Will you show if I fold?"

He folds showing  Ahrt Ad


Holmes does not show

"Good, i am glad you didn't show, means I have made a good pass"

Hopefully the bubble lasts a bit. As Guy said, simon could end up with 500k. Sick bubble player, so hard to play against if you care about the cash

Come on burgess!!!!!

Mansbirdge however just doublwed to 70,000 with KJ o v John Miller's 22 blind on blind, first card out King

Wow this is horrible.....

No list of runners as far as I'm aware but it got 42, £11,750 prize pool 5 paid £4k up top

We've got 4 reporters on 3 tables now so we've got the time to take some requests as things tighten up a bit on the bubble so to all the lurkers, don't be shy!

could you try get the hands and boards right?

Gogo simon and Danny toffel. 2 top guys who deserve every bit of run good!

he knows i'm sort of joking but if you aint gonna get it right you are a waste of time. he maybe from the firm who paid for this blogg but it aint rocket science getting the most importsant bit right. what the cartds are and what the board is
otherwise we may as well watch the live stream and put up with tower

Ryan Spittles opens to 7,500 from 60,000

Praz Bansi sets him in from the big blind with A-10

Spittles calls with A-Q and holds to double to 125,000

Don't want to derail the updates and I know your just a massive troll who wants a reaction but you really are a complete clown. Great updates and wp DMorgan for giving Tighty a hand, wpwp.

nice one :)

+2

GO GO Craig !!!

+3. Guys are doing it out of their own time, it's much harder than it seems, and they're doing a great job. And the Tower is a hero too.

Hmm I thought it was correct at the time, but changed my mind on the way home.  I was the 97 off fella and briefly said so on the way out btw  :hello:

Try theComplaints Department (http://www.andrearosen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/texture-red-brick-wall.jpg) mate

Just to correct one misconception. Dan is doing this as a blonde member who loves reading the updates, and has donated to them. He asked to help, his involvement with the firm was nothing to do with my accepting, they were not involved.

He's doing well.

I arrive to see Praz Bansi betting 35k into a pot of 50k on a board of

 8c Kc Th Ac

Martin Holmes jams for about 140k, Bansi thinks for a bit and folds

Holmes shows the  Qc Tc for the nut flush

A few chip counts to follow shortly

Nick Hicks could take on Julian imo.

Julian swore on blonde recently, and still got a new sponsorship deal

Next he will appear in Shameless and get a Sainthood

Praz Bansii opens to 10k at 2k/4k/400 under the gun, folds to Ben Jenkins who jams 77k from the small blind

Bansi has a bit dwell, announces 'gamble time' and calls with AT. Ben shows AT also

The board is devoid of miracles and they chop up the blinds and antes

Come on Sbotty (Ryan Spittles obv.)

BRING IT HOME!!!!!!

You know you want to ;)

Shiny happy People

Go on Jen Benkins!

Things are pretty steady here

the three shortstacks are Ben Jenkins, John Miller and Craig Burgess all with under 100,000

Still 20x bb stacks though so ideal 3 bet shoving territory and not likely to be called automatically by many of the others

Danny Toffel makes it 9,000 to play, Simon Deadman 3-bets from the button to 26,200, Danny calls...

The flop comes K-8-6

Danny checks to Simon who bets 32,400, Danny quickly calls....

The turn comes 10

Both players check.

The river is 6

Danny bets 35,000, which is enough to take the pot as Simon passes.

I agree. He is a really nice guy. And a really good player too. He has been playing for a long time now and has been getting it quietly for many years as a consistent winning player in both cash games and tourneys. But he's never had that little bit of luck to bink something big that so many other players have had even though they have been playing a lot less time and are nowhere near as good at poker. I really hope he wins.

Get off the phone and get posting tighty ffs ;)

Pffffffft.

Just developing my burgeoning media career. I am doing a 2am shot on Babestation next week. Off camera, fortunately

Danny Toffel makes a raise and is called by John Miller in the big blind.

The flop comes K--Q--6

Short stack John moves all in and Danny makes the call....

John.....K-J
Danny...Q-10

John is in good shape going to the turn which comes an Ace.

The river comes a QUEEN!!

Danny Toffel takes the pot with trips.

John Miller heads out in 16th place taking home £2,150.

FYP dear ;)

Wonder if the live fund would cover the updates?

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Ryan Spittles opens to 10,500

Ben Jenkins 29,000 on the button

Spittles, with a sly smile straight at Jenkins, all in for 180,000

Jenkins looks for a read, but Spittles is doing his mute smurf impression with blue hoody up

Jenkins folds and Spittles moves to 210,000

Jenkins 130,000

And I'm def only 25 too! Cos is much older than me ffs.

Anyway, tough job for the updaters, super long shifts and they must be knackered!  Much respect for that.

Bit of rungood tomoz and who knows....     

Great stuff from the update team.  Really good to come back and read thru whats happened most of the day.

Can't sleep but gonna have to try now!

I don't even know the person but I recon that comment comes straight from bluff-united...seriously, it's almost as redic as TK setting his profile to 48...oh, wait

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Sick good uppers Tight.

gogogo nick and simon

GREAT job so far Ryan, now get it finished. Beware of Nick & Simon though, they are "handy".

See you later, I'm about to set off from London.

glgl guys!

updates got me smiling as usual...good job tighty

Not a swear word in sight? You are slipping Julian!

 rotflmfao  The tough guy image was never gonna last long.

lol tyty just catching up, was erm a bit busy to get to read most posts, but now I reckon I'd win at least a bronze if musical chairs was an Olympic sport.

No pint I'm afraid, but a hot chocolate with tia maria and having a good laugh swaping anecdotes at 5.30am watching the sun come up on the hotel patio (which was freezing and twice as windy as Southfork ranch for those of you that can vaguely remember Dallas) after getting back from the Casino was hilarious.

No, this was not a reporting error, it is accurate.
Also, my intention was to check/reraise all-in on the turn, which Greg said he would have folded and the 6k river bet was just a stopper-bet in case he had the Q and would have value bet bigger or for extra value on a weaker calling hand eg A9.
