Gl Toby !!

Gl Toby!

Did you ever find out what the argument was about between Toby and Joe last night?

So your finalists


Toby Lewis

The 21 year old from Southampton, known online including on blonde as 810ofclubs almost needs no introduction after his successes in the last 2 years, most notably as EPT Champion in Vilamoura almost exactly a year ago. On the back of a stunning recent run online he will undoubtedly be favourite to add a GUKPT title to his burgeoning resume. Sponsored by Sky Poker for this event, though tikay has probably all told you that individually already.


Andrew Feldman

Sometimes you can get someone wrong. You can form an opinion second hand from forums, and it is certainly true that Feldman has a mixed reputation after several years of playing the highest cash games online, a court case with a Rabbi of all things then the Full Tilt situation with he being one of their highest profile UK Pros.  However to meet him he is quiet, almost shy and certainly understated. Now 24 years old his previous best GUKPT finish was a 22nd in Blackpool as a 20 year old. His database lists a lot of TV format cashes, which could stand him in good stead once the final table gets shorter handed

Dan Furnival

Furnival is in form having won the £500 NLHE side event this week, Furnival is becoming a regular of the fesitval scene. 15th in the CHampion of Champions last year, a recent finalist in the Palm Beach £1k event too. Was shortstacked on the final two tables last night and doubled twice to hit the final in good shape

Bertie Keegan

A more undemonstrative table presence you could not find, on a player who sailed to the final table without big confrontations. Bertie has one previous GUKPT cash, 18th at Blackpool last year

George Hassabis

Relatively inexperienced compared to many at this final, London based George has smashed his previous best live cash, a 3rd in an Empire festival in a £100 event. Short-stacked early yesterday, he ground it out to the luxuries of being able to fold Ace-King to heavy action just before the cash bubble.

Antonio German

19 year old professional footballer for Queens Park Rangers, and previously on loan at Macclesfield, Yeovil and Southend. Currently injured, but still don't tell Neil Warnock he is here, just in case. Has a great game, very active, likes to see flops, likes to apply pressure and doesn't like to slow down much. Chip leader with 15 left he doubled Furnival up on the final table bubble. Certainly one to watch

Michael Huber

German finalist, best database result is a 2nd place in a six Max event at WPT Marrakesh, which sounds familiar. Marrakesh, perhaps mhe got Smashed Again.

Ergun Macit

Didn't know Ergun before this weekend, but he never stops smiling. This is obviously a good thing. Not sure about possible the vainest database profile pic in the world though. See below. Ergun won an EPT London side event last year, and has four top three GUKPT festival finishes in the last 2 years. A feature of Ergun's game is good natured speechplay and he stood toe to toe, out of position, to Feldman for over six levels yesterday. Not to be under-rated

Jonathan Weekes

As one of the shortest stacks during the near two hour bubble, Jonathan survived over six all ins, two were called and he doubled up and then made the final without ever having a compfortable stack relative to the blinds from then on. Jonathan final tabled EPT Tallinn last year and was second in an EPT Copenhagen side event before that.

Chaz Chattha

"Come on Chaz, you are overdue" said a TD yesterday to Chaz. Chaz replied "I haven't made the final of one of these for a while. I will do it" and so he did, as the short-stack. Hit squad member alongside amongst others brother Sunny, and a very popular player this is his third GUKPT final table. Starting with only 10x bb it is a big ask, but there wouldn't be a more popular winner.


Ladies and gentlemen, your finalists  









If he were an ice cream, he would eat himself. :-)

Andrew Feldman opens to 26k

Antonio German 52k in position

all in

call

Both have Ace-King off


Split pot

Blue Sq book is 6/4 Toby Lewis 2/1 Andrew Feldman

thoughts?

Cagey stuff so far. Pre-flop raises uncalled apart from that split pot


Talkative lot, mainly Mr Feldman who as a big Watford fan has been quizzing Mr Grman about the number of ex Watford players now at QPR

Both ridiculously short imo.

Andrew Feldman has said that 50% of his winnings are going to charity

Wearing the Poker Farm badge because he likes the guys, not for any sponsorship or payment reasons

The gentleman has grown on me a lot over the last three days

1/3 that either wins?

Why bother pricing it up if they're going to do this - they clearly don't want to take any bets.

Ahrt 5d 6d 2d 3s board

Feldman against Huber

Huber  Aspades Qc wins

Odds on Huber ? Think he is YrrsiNN online, $1.5m + winnings. (hidden from search no idea of roi)

thanks. trying to get you a price (don't hold your breath)

Keegan 21k

Huber 52k

Keegan passes


Huber is Austrian. He qualified online alongside his mate Severin Schleser, they both travelled across. Severin is chip leader in day 2 of the £250 re-entry alongside Alan Gray, David Lloyd, Dom Kay, Rob Garfield, Michael Bolton

Roffle, less than 30% of chips in play between them and a 73% chunk in a ten-horse race? Bookmakers can't get away with this sort of garbage these days. Pass thanks.

Hassabis flopped the royal flush draw

Keegan now the chip leader

Feldman had A-Q

thought he was in bad shape against A-K, or racing a pair at best

If Hassabis had opened, Andrew would have 3 bet and probably called off, so A-K if it was that has lost quite a bit of value by open shoving 25x bb

Gooooooo Toby!!!!

Lol - when you have 5 mins could you point out some of the awesome bits for me please.

Can you also ask Andrew what he put Chaz on after he raised, re-raised and gave him you some verbal for good measure? Was he expecting pocket 10's?

Lewis 60k on the button, Chattha 140k big blind takes it down reverses the early trend


Bit of a clash of styles generally, Chaz smallball, Toby more active pre-flop. Then again Toby needs a shot at a double up at some point

like to say thanks to Tighty, always makes a tough job look easy. Thanks mate

Same could be said of you and poker. Another nice result bud

Awesome to see Chaz win, has deserved a GUKPT title for a long time now.

Sounds like the final 3 were of a different class, I'm pissed now I missed the live stream! WP all, and WD Tighty as usual.

wp chaz! probably indicative of the gukpt structure that the cream of the uk seems to consistently dominate the final tables. wp toby aswell, what a fking luckbox :)

Had Toby Lewis to my left and he outplayed me all day and deserved to win imo. Thought overall it was a pretty tough final table.

Yesssssssssssssss wpwpwp Chaz - overjoyed for him!

Wellplayed Chaz! It's about time!!!!

Comeback Kid Chaz Chatta Scoops GUKPT Luton Title and £59,360

Chaz Chattha has won the GUKPT Luton £1,000 Main Event, returning from a final table started in last place and putting on a bravura performance to outlast tough competition and scoop just shy of £60,000. 

After seeing off the rest of the 212-strong field, he faced the strongest final table of 2011 so far – with millions of dollars in winnings between them, his opposition was daunting.  However a combination of what he himself described as “run good” and a faultless sense of timing gave Chattha his first GUKPT title.

The UK’s best-known poker fraternity, the Hit Squad, have hoisted GUKPT trophies an astonishing four times before, with wins by Praz Bansi, Karl Mahrenholz and Chattha’s brother Sunny.  Now returning with yet another title for the group, Chaz Chattha adds to his already impressive personal record on the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour.  His 3rd place in the Grand Final in 2010 netted him a similar prize, and way back in 2007 he finished runner-up in the Plymouth leg; his fourth final table turned out to be the charm for Chattha.

In side event news, it was Dan Furnival scooping the big one – the £500 two-day freezeout.  He bested a field of 80 to take the top prize of £12,400.  Furnival also placed 6th in the Main Event, netting himself another £9,540 for his week at the Luton G Casino.  David Lloyd won the £250 Pot Limit Omaha Double Chance event, and £5,120, while the £250 Hold’em went to Karan Radia (£5,490). 

Congrats to Chaz and Toby wp both.
