blonde poker forum

OK, this is where Tuesday's action will be. Do please try & join us.

Today, we will be seeing an interesting & impressive line up, including........

Dave Colclough, a Paris course & Distance winner.

Brian Wilson, sporting his Bracelet, & determined to ruffle French feathers.

Suruinder Sunar, last year's winner

Howard Lederer, An American In Paris?

Carlo Citrone, King of the Dwells, with a career as a Chippendale awaiting him

Willie Tann - another Bracelwet winner from this year's WSOP

Andy Black, fresh from his WSOP Final Table

Barny Boatman, the 3rd of The Mobsters in this year's renewal - Joe is still on Honeymoon.

Simon Trumper, he'll be fired up, after his Vegas controversy

Pascal Perrault, he's French.

Roy Brindley, The Boy.

David Benyamine

Freddy Deeb

Stuart Nash

Toby Maguire, of Spiderman. (Web Report available)

Rob Hollink

Peter Roche - watch out for Peter, he'll want to match Andy Black's recent heroics

Devilfish

John Gale

Tony G - last year's runner up. Heaven help us if he gets on same table as Brian Wilson. Brian makes Tony look positively subdued!

Carlos Mortensen

Mads Anderson

Tony Bloom

Martin De Knijff

Bambos.

Is that a list of runners, or WHAT?

Action begins at 4pm Paris - that's 3pm England, I think.

We are all set up, & ready to roll, or we will be when Jen eventually gets outa bed. She worked her socks off again yesterday. We owe her our thanks.

Whats the food like Tony?

you haven't regaled us with your Eurostar trip yet.

Yoyo not taking part this year?

Three answers in one here, soooo busy.

Food. Terrible. A lot of French muck, too. We had Chinese last night, in a resataurant where they had a glass floor, above a huge, restaurant size, fish tank, with fish & even tortoises swimming about in it. Surreal.

Eurostar Train Journey. Be careful what you wish for - was on SEVEN different trains yesterday. Details - FULL details - to follow.......

Yoyo? What, he of the 0 from 2 WSOP cashes? Nah, he's  at home, licking his wounds. But he offered to buy a bit of me for today, what a top bloke. But the bit he wanted is spoken for, if you get my drift.

We just had a cuppa tea with Harry D & Martin De Knijff, then another with Barney Boatman & John Gale. And I'm sat next to Rob Hollink, as I write. So, I ask them all, have YOU got a 100% cashing record in WSOP's played? Hehe, that stops them in their tracks.

Jen dragged herself oit of bed, bless her.

Willie Tann just arrived & said Hi, as did Roy Brindley. Devilfish too. Gonna be SOME day today.

Hi Tikay,

Are u surprised by the lack of runners? Is the the lowest ever for a WPT event? I was intending on going myself but am just all pokered out after the WSOP - is this the reason? If so, how are Victor Chandler, London Open and the Vic Club doing, any idea on fields, I was intending on playing the Vic but not with 120 runners......

Tony, I can thoroughly recommend a great restaurant

www.restaurantfloradanica.com

on the Avenue des Champs Elysses

French-Danish!

especially if your expenses account is in operation!

There may not be many runners but it looks quality.

French-Danish Food? - you jest. Stick that.

Expense Accolunt? I wish.

Lack of runners, Rob? Shocked, really shocked. A WPT with 150 runners? Never been known, & don't know what to make of it. But the WPT won't let it happen again, it would devalue "the Brand". Barny says there will NEVER be a better chance to win a WPT.

But Robert is right, PLENTY of quality.

Carlo just arrived - he's left all his clothes at home! Good job he's not the sort of guy who worries about how he looks, then......

We have just posted the closing chip counts from the first Day One on yesterdays Day One thread. If that makes sense.

Frank Callaghan is chip leader. Wrinklies Rule, eh? So hope for me yet, once I reach that stage, of course.....

Now, GO AWAY, I still aint writen yesterday's Diary, I'm like the fat lady, all behind.

Oh come on! We aren't going anywhere; you set yourself such high standards of reporting and kept them up. We readers, whilst grateful, have become to expect continued excellence. I think it kicks off in about 20 mins or so, so looking forward to seat and table numbers along with Parisien fashion tips.

yes, come on tikay no slacking. How is the Jean-Paul Gaultier bleached blonde look going down on the poker catwalks of Paris this week?

OK, the Diary is written - VERY late. It will be up on www.poker425 in the next half hour or so I guess. Rather embarrassing - and painful - end to the day yesterday as it happens. But that's another story.

Play has not begun here yet, but they are starting to take their seats. Soon as they do, we will get the interesting tables & seats, see who has been pitched against who. Really a much more "lively" bunch of players today than yesterday. Not better, just a lot more of them, more "names" it seems.

Jen is poised, she's just finishing a Profile of Brian Wilson. THAT should make a good read.

How's the blonde look going down in Paris? OK I think. A lot of Frenchmren looking at me in a sort of pervy way, for sure.

Morning all - I have managed to 'get out of bed' and in fact if I'd known this kind of stuff was being said would have posted earlier...:)

They are a little slower off the mark today, and are only just settling down in their assigned seats which have been assigned with the following shock draw:

Dave Colclough, Brian Wilson, Martin de Knijff, Roy the Boy are all on the same table.  Mercy.

And just like yesterday, they've started with not a whisper.  They applauded every day of every event in Vegas; it actually makes a nice change, although tough on reporting accuracy.  HELLO AND WELCOME TO DAY 1, 2.

Just tell the froggies that you dyed it blonde to celebrate London getting the olympics :) im sure that will win you lots of new friends ;)

I believe M. Gaultier sometimes sports a kilt.

That might be interesting Tikay.........

 ;)

no, lets change the subject :o

Just saw Surinder Sunar, defending champ, going into one of the rooms - he asked a tournament lady who the chip leader of day 1 1 was.  She said "Francois Callaghan.  92,000."

Bonjour mon joli Jen comment allez vous ?

(Knew there was a use for O Level French)

Rob Hollink and Devilfish clash early over a sizeable pot on an  A J x x x board with four hearts on it.  Rob (whose hand wasn't shown) raised Devilfish on the end, who eventually passed showing a heartless AJ.

Someone, as yet nameless, is down to the felt after five minutes with a surprise all-in (trips versus a full house).  Today might be quite exciting.

Bonjour Monsieur Robert HM

Ca va bien, merci.  J'ai mange un omelette ce matin. C'etait delicieux.  Um, je dois travailler maintenant. 

Chip counts on their way.

Jen

jen, we want you stationed next to the elblondie/brian wilson table please

a) to report verbatim the verbals

b) to watch the fireworks

 

Good luck to Willie Tann

I'll echo that YWB

Plenty action on the Colclough/Wilson/Brindley table, but NOT involving them. Dave just slipped us a note with some interesting action - Jen's posting it right now.

Lucky that blonde have DC on hand, notes from the players themselves at a WPT Table, you don't get that on many sites!

Some heat on the Trumper/Black table, something about showing hands at the showdown. We will get the lowdown at the break. Heat on the Willie Tann table too. Everybody seems to be tetchy today.

And Carlo just nipped me for 20 Euros - looks like he left his money at homre, as well as his clothes.

Straight from horse's mouth - this couple of stories come from Table 1 where El Blondie seems to be able to do our jobs as well as his! 

"Russian ace Alexander Kuzmin tussles with Claude Cohen (previous French WPT finalist.  It appeared that Claude flopped a set of 4s against Alex's top pair of Aces and he lost 6000 chips to Claude.
The very next pot Alex flops his own set of 8s against Tobey Maguire's AK on an A 8 4 board.  Alex trap checks his way into getting his whole remaining 9000 in and doubles through off Spiderman caught in his Russian web...Tobey down to 6,000 while Alex at 18,000"

How good is this- real time hand reports from the players themselves.  So TightEnd no need to be there in person...

After I managed to be 16 hours late writing my "Day One Diary" the techs at www.poker425.com have excelled themselves & got it up on the site in 20 minutes flat.

But the baa-lambs have found and posted an old pic of me - THE worst pic you ever saw - & doctored it. Never try to get the better of a techy, eh?

PS - It was taken when I was younger. (Aint that the strangest question, when you show someone a pic, & they ask if it was "taken when you were younger?"... I mean, how many answers are possible to THAT?...)

Sort that picture out RURU YWB!!!1

Some early counts:

Simon Trumper  12,100
Andy Black        15,300
Woody Deck      14,850 (you may know him as the ultra agressive young US cash player sometimes to be found loitering in Gutshot; has good name)
Barny Boatman   9,100
Willie Tann        16,600
Stuart Nash       21,000
Brian Wilson      14,150
Rob Hollink        19,700
Peter Roche      13,700
John Gale          17,200
Tony G             14,600
Bambos            14,300
Surinder           15,300
Jeff Lissandro    15,400
Chuc Hoang      25,000 (with whom Tikay shared a final in Deauville, which he won (CH not TK)

I have located the GetMinted qualifier NabTheAce who is sat on Simon Trumper/ Andy Black's table.  He has 5,000 more than he did a minute ago, having flopped top set of 10s.  The board paired beneath the 10 on the turn, and his opponent bet 3000 (holding the trips).  He tried to raise to 5,000, was made to make it 6, and got a call.  The oddest check of the tournament came on the river when the other guy checked to him, however.... ("I felt sorry for him" said not-ruthless-enough Nabil)

Yes, Chuc Hoang, looks like a Chinese Gentleman, but he's French. He won the E500 at the Deauville EPT Festival, run all over me in the Final. He is THE nicest man you ever met. Bows when he talks to you. I think more of you should do that. Starting with the boy Thewy.

Pass on my regards to Nabil - he played for us in the British Poker Open - lovely chap but whatever you do, don't ever tell him he's not allowed to smoke somewhere!!!

wpt off to a good start, at table w/ DC so thats not so good, have played well , about 17,000, spiderman (tobey maguire) at same table down to 5,000, DC up to 16,000. Just donated 2000 to DC last hand, river A to give me AA, DC hit fush w/ river A 

Now that IS interactive....

Geez. Give that table their own laptop!

Are you allowed to smoke at the tables?? 

As if Table 1 couldn't get more interesting, Tony Bloom has now joined it next to his business partner Martin De Knijff!!  Roy Brindley was joking that he was doing about as well as the guy who wasn't even there - well now we know who that is... Break in a minute and I am sure there will be more Live and Direct from Table One.

I concurr.

Piccy is damn scary !

 ::)

have you seen yours on our site??? even in the dark, you can see what a terrible cueing action you have ;D

it looks like he has been steam rollered not like Ru to get a bit steaming :)

Tony just read your 425 report always said you are you are a pain in the glass .  ;D

Just seen it !!

At least you had the good sense to provide subdued lighting.

I just realised that my best feature is my bridge-hand !!

 ;D ;D ;D

So by comparison these dry old chip counts aren't so interesting, but ah well going into first break-

Alexander Kuzmin   17,600
El Blondie              16,100
Simon Trumper      16,000
Andy Black            15,400
Woody Deck          12,900
Barny Boatman       5,000  (apparently lost quite a pot slowplaying aces - update - one of those AA vs KK hands, where Other Guy hit king)
Willie Tann            17,800
Stuart Nash           21,000
Brian Wilson           16,400
Rob Hollink            14,100
Peter Roche         12,300
Devilfish                15,100
Bambos                13,200
Roy Brindley          15,000
Mike Magee           18,000
Abdul Assis            12,300
Alex Todd             18,000
Barry Shulman        14,600
Surinder Sunar       15,500
Jeff Lissandro         5,500
Howard Lederer     14,600
NabTheAce           23,000
Tobey Maguire       10,000 (having flopped a nut flush getting threeway action)

Hehe, REAL interactive, eh?

And the delayed Tony Bloom now saitting next to business partner Martin De Knijff - how spooky is that? They run a Sports Betting Syndicate, anyone can join if they ante up about 25k. They place bets on Premiership matches - HUGE bets, 6 figures regularly. They place the bets in the Far East, where I guess the market is a bit more liquid than in the UK. I mean, imagine trying to get 250,000 on Man Utd v Arsenal at Laddies....! "You can have 75 Sir....."

Players are on the first break of the day now, they have 15 mins after every level.

Dinner is after 3 levels, & they play 5 levels today in total.

Barny's slowplayed Aces? Well his oppo had KK, so I doubt it made any difference HOW he played them, all the chips were going in at some stage.

Not at all, that's why we are all here.

Smoking at the table? No way Jose. Nor anywhere near the CardRoom - you have to go to the Bar Area.

Hi Tikay - how are you?  Did Carlo tell you that he didn't even know he'd left his clothes behind until I rang him to tell him!!!!! I'm here in sunny (!!!!!!!) Newcastle wishing him lots of luck with Angelina.   

Hi Sam, yeah, he told me the tale. HE thought his clothes were in his case. Woulda loved to see his face when he opened the case.....

But he looks immaculate as ever. Smart, well-cut jacket, crisp white T-Shirt, Mr Cool Dude. If ONLY I could teach him to speak properly......

Nice to hear from you Sam, wish you were here. XXX to Angelina.

Speaking of piccies, mine's disappeared on the forum.

There must be a sneak thief about !!

 ???

The good news is Carlo will have loads of room for the duty free's.... ;)

Just before the break, Simon Trumper was put to a test for all his chips with QQ when the flop came K 6 6.  He dwelled for a long time before passing and showing the Queens.  Now on a few fewer.

removed on grounds of health and safety - young kiddies access this site too!

Really wish I were over in Paris now. Any news from a guy called Peter Heighway, not sure if he was today or yesterday

Much, much, busier here today, lot of raiilbirds. But they cannot get to the tables, there is a velvet rope barrier, but those with Press Passes are OK.

Viva le Bruno, c'est magnifique......

Peter Heighway was yesterday, see the Chip Counts at the foot of our Day One Live Update.

Martin de Knijff just took a hit raising preflop by about 3,000 only for someone to move all-in pretty quickly, for more than he had.  He folded in the end, waving his cards (I caught a glimpse of two pictures but couldn't tell you for sure which ones) and now has 9,050.

After the breaks, they do NOT announce that the game has restarted, so the players drift back in dribs and drabs.

On John Gale & Barny's table, there were TWO players present when the game began. First to act Raises, second to act - NOT in the blinds, looks ruefully at the Raiser, as if to say "I was gonna do that...."

thanks TK, missed it somehow

cheeky!

For those not familiar with the Aviation Club......

There are two main areas, rooms, where the comps are played. Not very big, one has room for maybe 7 tables, the other about 5. Seperating them is a sort of wide corridor, in which there are 3 tables along one wall. This "corridor" is being used for cash games  right now. Weird, a WPT going on either side, & there's these French geezers playing cash between them, as if it were a regular day.

They have a Salon Prive at the other side of the Lounge too - maybe 50 yards away - where some seriously big cash action goes down.

The Final Total of runners is confirmed as 159.

Whats access like for people like myself and Ironside

from meomry eric terrbile id advice not going

Access? All stairs, & I guess there must be a lift somewhere, but to be honest, I have not seen it. It's on the First Floor, by the way, so entrance is via a big staircase, a circular jobbie almost.

Dave Colclough has a black T shirt on, & shades. It contrasts so much with his deathly pale arms, face & blonde hair that he reminds me of a photo negative. I'll get my coat then, been nice working with Dave.....

I guessed that stewert, I got as  far as the frount door in 2001, but after negotiating eurostar, Paris Nord, Paris cab drivers!!!, and the chenz ellyise........it looked a bit forboding.

Tony Bloom just mentioned that our Jen (who's popped out for some sticky buns) is a terrific dealer - Jen dealt for Tony & El Blondie in a Heads-Up affair in Vegas. Tony liked Jen's report of his $500,000 Heads-Up Match against Negranau too. Shame about the result, though.

Jen's Report is here......

http://www.blondepoker.com/TourReports.htm

Andy Black 18k.

Tony Bloom 14k

Martin De Knijff 10k.

Brian Wilson is behaving himself, sitting pretty quietly, as is Dave. I think they both held the view that play was a a bit "fast" yesterday.

Roy Brindley has 18k. He asked if we could give a plug for his site, www.roytheboy.net. No way, I said.

BRIAN WILSON OUT.

He clashed with the handsome young Russian in Seat 3. Board was 5-J-T-4-5. Rusky bets 4k on the end, Brian goes all-in for about 5k more, he clearly has the Russian on a bluff. On their backs, Brian shows J-8, for top pair & a missed flush draw, Mr Rusky has.....KK.

Damn. 

Shame!!!
Looking forward to the big un's performance. Never mind, one title a month would be a good average by anyones standards.
Vic next?

shame, brian's a really nice bloke. Blondie, go get that Russian!

Brian cant wait to leave Paris, he dont like the place or the peeps. His next appearance is the CelebPoker thing in Mayfair on Saturday, then The Vic all next week.

reminds me of a line from 'Crazy People' - "the French can be annoying, come to Greece - we're nicer!"

Thanks for the updates as ever guys (and gals).
I am sorry, Mr K, I had to laugh reading your report on the website. Do you have a shiner to prove it?

It was not a laughing matter Mr Bloody jbsc7769. We were marching along at a fair lick, then WHACK.....Jen did not know whether to laugh or cry, she really thought I was badly hurt, & rushed to my aid. I was a bit hurt, but it was my pride that suffered most.......

Well, that was not the greatest but I went down fighting, im sure DC will ask 'what were you doing in the pot anyway'.

I did put him on a bluff, thought AQ/AK or smaller pair (maybe 99 or 88 w/ other outs), still have alot to learn, having fun and now I can get to London, may take mad marty up on that tv poker deal he keeps emailing me about.


Rookie busted out 

Yeah, Rookie with a WSOP Bracelet. If you fancy dinner later Brian, you know where I am.

Simon Trumper down to just 3200 after an unfortunate river vs. GetMinted qualifier NabTheAce.  Simon held AK vs. Nabil's 10 J.  On the flop of 10 J Q (two hearts) Simon bet with the nuts and was called.  The blank 4c brought a bet from Nab and an "I'll take it right now" raise to 8000 by Simon.  He was flat called again and when the pair came giving the 10 J the full house on the river, Nab went all-in immediately and Simon had no choice but to pass his AK, which he did face-up, leaving himself with just about 3000, but still in.  Not such a happy camper, but Mathilda there sharing every hand - good and bad.  She looks more upset than he does...

Many thanks to Rolf Slotboom, who is being SO helpful to blonde, giving us FAR more help than we are giving him.

OMG, that was cruel for Simon. Mathilde sweats him every single hand of every comp. He's a lucky fella, though he may not realise it right now. Mathilde is French, though.

I saw Bob Coombes yesterday here in the Aviation, but I was flat out busy at the time, & never had chance to chat with him. He had Joy with him. I do hope she feels a little better.

A GREAT comeback by Barny Boatman. After his AA v KK accident, he was actually down to 2,400, not 5k as I noted at the time.

But he's back to 13k now, dancing too. He just stole a little pot with a board of  Q-Q-T-T-A, I am SURE I saw him flash J-2 in my direction......

Earlier, he got involved in an odd one, he had AK with 1 diamond, Matey Boy had A-J. Flop came J high, with 3 diamonds, all the chips go in, Barny is in a hole. "Did the Diamond come Barny?", I asked, "no, the K" was his jaunty reply. He's a happy bunny now.

Tony G down to 4,200. He's being a good boy.

Mr Tikay - any news re Carlo?   ::)

But Simon Trumper is OUT. Don't know what happened, but his seat is empty, & Mathilde is nowhere to be seen. Simon looked (to me) really down today, & that beat when he flopped the nuts musta felt like a dagger to the heart. He'll be back, he's a fighter.

Willie Tann has "13 or 14k" he replies with a derisory shake of his head.

Peter Roche has 9k.

Very interesting hand on the old Table 1 -

Threeway action between Roy Brindley (s.b.) Alex Kuzmin (b.b.) and Tobey Maguire (button).  When I came up to the table, the flop was out: 7h 4d 10c, and it looked like Alex had bet 700, called by Tobey on the button, and Roy was thinking - he raised 3000 after a few moments.  A much longer dwell from the Russian resulted in a Re-raise to a total of 7700!  Button Maguire decided he really wasn't that interested after all, but Roy Brindley flat called and moved in when the 3h came on the turn.  Almighty break-reaching think from Alex and he passed giving Roy a 16000 pot.

Interesting aside on this: there was talk as is usual about what everybody had, and apparently Roy's 10 4 pushed off Alex's 10 7, although we'll never know for sure. 

What would have been even more interesting was that El Blondie passed a pair of threes and Tobey the 5 6 so if THEY had made it to the turn there would have been even  more fireworks. 

On a break.

Czarlo - yeah, I just spoke to him, Sam must by a mindreader. He's OK, nice & quiet, not pulling up any roots, but he's here for the long game. We will follow him a bit closer after the break. I THINk he has about 13k or 14k. That's just fine. They began with 15k, by the way, & blinds are about to go to 100-200, so LOADS of time.

Thank you  :)

Table 1's counts all different now but here are the other tables' most recent counts before they all wandered off to the bar:

i have a strange question for you tikay/jen if you done mind

when we was over the for EPT event we played the cash games and there was a game called Avation  can u tell me what it is, i forgot how to play it ?

thanks in advance

Why the small field?

2 possible reasons.

a. Closer to WSOP than 2004's?
b. The robbery last year might have put some off?

Lets hope the ACF doesn't lose the WPT event.

Is that the one where you try to get from the Aviation Club to your hotel around 2am ?

 ;)

The game called Aviation? You get 4 cards, & discard one Pre-Flop. After the flop you discard another. Then it's normal Hold 'Em.

Carlo has 17k.

Will the WPT return to The Aviation? Well I hope so, because this is fun, but the low numbers - and Simon's likely correct reason - are a worry.

El Blondie passed me this note from the table........

".....Flop of K--7-8, two spades. 8 of spades on turn gives Claude Cohen the Nut Flush, & Toby Maguire 7's full. Toby Doubles up to 20k. Claude is down to 5k..."

Peter Roche OUT -

Against a young guy and holding AQ he bet the A K 3 flop and was called.  The turn brought the Q for his 2pair and he thought the guy was "a bit deranged" but didn't have 10 J so the last 6000 went all-in and his young opponent turned over AK to knock him out.  He seemed resigned but said he'd built up a tell library on his table which he now wouldn't get a chance to use.

Stuart Nash just wandered across for a stretch. "How many Stu?". "27,000, & Spurs have just signed Edgar Davids". He still PLAYING? Wow. The Spurs Pensioners.

Bambos 7k

Mike Magee 18k

Roy The Boy Brindley 27k

Martin De Knijff 13k

Dave Colclough 8k

I've had a wander round a few tables.....

Howard Lederer 7k

Surinder Sunar 16k

Willie Tann

Rob Hollink 30k. He's "busy".

Devilfish 16k "going on 38k".

how is padraig doing?

Bambos OUT

He did not have much of a stack. He told me he "hit the flop, I had 6-5, & a 5 fell. But Rob Hollink had pocket 5's....". Hit it sort of gently, I guess.

Andy Black is in great heart, he's chatting away, sort of running his table. He has the biggest card-marker you ever saw. It's about 6" long, Jen says it looks a a bit like a whisk, but it's made of copper or brass. After being asked, Andy said it was some sort of buddhist symbol - it's THE heaviest object on earth". He just clashed with the Get-Minted Man, who has around 30k. (Andy has low twenties). Mr Minted has a huge, but ulnit cigar.

John Gale arrived at the same table, his table has broken, but John is down to about 5k. But he and Andy are laughing & joking, all very sociable.

Hi Ironside, we've missed you!

you have? you must be very bored then

Bored? Me? Never. Just missed you, that's all.

Mr Brindley just lost a big dollop of chips with a set of 3's against a set of Queens. Seat 8 is an Internet Qualifier, I will try & get some info on him shortly.

Bon soir Ironside!  Tikay sends his greetings too - as far as Padraig is concerned, not here.  Surprising, perhaps, but true.

John Gale has been moved to Andy Black's table two to his right.   They are chatting away and look rather relaxed.

The guy between them is an American named Steve Worr, and he just doubled up getting his all-in on a board of As 10s 5s Ah called by AQ when he held 10 10.  Don't know the doubler-up's name as yet.

More counts starting with the perilously low stacks:
Howard Lederer   2,600
Tony G               5,000
John Gale            5,000
Willie Tann          9,200

81 runners apparently started today, and just one table so far is broken.  The surprise no-shows and mystery late registerers have made this number hard to pin down but Rolf says it's 160 total so 160 total it is.

Carlo has, he tells, me, "about 16,725". Very precise, our Carlo.

Looks like he's had a haircut recently, very smart. Deffo not from "the bloke down the market for 50p". He has this beautiful diamond encrusted Rolex, I keep offering him 25 for it. "You'll be right son". I take that as a no, then.

tony i just delete some spam they even tried to spam the live update forum with pidegon english

Thanks Ironside. Was it a New Member?

I should explain that Ironside "helps out around here" in many ways, & has the ability & authority to deal with spammers. As we get bigger, I guess spamming & flaming becomes a greater problem, but we will continue to be ruthless. This is a comfy place to be, & ithat's the way so many of you want to keep it.

yeah his first post hid a link in the text when i accidently clicked the link trying to switch back from my game it opened 3 pop ups to an online site

Can we "delete" the Member then?

i can if you want me too

Another big pot between Roy Brindley and Alexander Kuzmin.  Roy all-in, this time pre-flop for about 8,000 holding pocket Jacks. Alexander calls and the whole board comes out starting with a J, and then A K 8 3, doubling him up to around 17,000.

Howard Lederer appears to have busted out. He walked away from the table with a very forlorn look on his face. He is a big, BIG man, looks like a one-time NFL player.

Carlo is fast asleep.

Dave Colclough is idly reading a poker mag, but he's moved up to about 12k. Must have been a good read.

Wow, watch out spammers  - Ironside has the power to erase you with the click of a mouse

Alexander Kuzmin - Is this the Ruskie who nobbled WSOP06?

Ironside - if his very first post was a link to an onlinre card-room, then yes, delete please.

That's him Robert, Mr Ruskie. Nice lad, as it happens. I met him in St Petersburg in May last year. Fearsome table presence, never smiles, it's not a game to enjoy, for him. Nice lad though, handsome in a Russian sort of way. Due to start shaving soon, I reckon.

Willie Tann OUT - just headed down the corridor (these few pre-break out players are likely to get into the lovely restaurant, for consolation).  He went all-in on a Q 5 8 6  board with pocked 9s only to be called and busted by KK.  "I never saw a hand" he mused as wandering off.

done

Dinner Break now, the guys will be back in an hour & three quarters.

 

dont touch the horse meat for dinner tony they use ex race horses in france and the meat if very tough

Thanks Ironside.

ok i am going to go into town and pick up a pizza i'll be back in about an hour or so

Don't touch the Pizza Ironside - it's haggis meat.

i love haggis tony best meal of the week

... and I'm fed up of the office, going home. Will log in when I get back for the next thrilling installment.

Confirmation from the lovely Sabine (Sabine is a Lady), play recommences at 11pm sharp. Then, two levels, then beddy byes.

hope your going to eat it with pride tikay  :D

thanks for all the good work and too Djinn

thanks for the updates Tony and Jen...

is Barny still in at dinner?

 :) Just watching the sun come up in Maui  ::)

joe must have a slow internet connection in maui doesnt he know the suns just aout to set

either that or the honeymoons shangigins have upset his body clock

Happy nuptials Joe

Hi Joe,

Yeah, Barny is going nicely now - "someone" has posted his progress on your site, Joe. Ross thanked me for the help he says we gave Robert in Vegas - but it was entirely mutual. Robert is a great guy.

Barny has had a real roller-coaster ride today, but he's happy now.

Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon Joe.

Excellent reporting again guys.

I was gonna put some info about the Aberdeen Internationals novice night Tusdays at 9pm - PLH 2 rebuys,  but decided against it as the chief might have done his spam bit and binned it ;D.

I just popped outside for a breath of fresh air. The Aviation Club really is in a quite remarkable setting, on the Champs Elysses.

The pavement outside is a throng of people, lots of pretty girls & hungry guys. The pavement is maybe 30 yards wide, with 2 rows of trees, one in the middle, one by the road.  Another row of trees on the opposite pavement. The trees are all beautifully but symmetrically trimmed - I think that's called aboroculture, but I'm not sure. Slim trunks, branches don't start until a good way up, all exactly the same height.

The Champs Elysses itself is nine lanes wide, & is cobbled throighout. The cobbles are in a sort of radius/arc pattern. Plenty of traffic. The Arc De Triomphe - which is HUGE - is about 400 yards to the right. The Place de la Concorde is about 2 miles to the left, & the road between is arrow straight. Place de la Concorde must be the biggest roundabout in the world, Hyde Park Corner x 10, it's a fearful place to cross the road.

To the right, is the Seine, very wide, with boats fitted out as restaurants moored along the banks. Continue down past the Place de la Concorde & you eventually reach the Louvre, which I am told is a bit of an Art Gallery. That in itself must be half a mile long, it's a whopping size building.

It really is a beautiful city. No wonder they call it romantic, it's quite lovely. Oh to be young again, you could sweep a woman off her feet here, I daydreamed.....

Started to walk back in, & I bumped into a few players. "So the flop comes J-K-7 & the muppet bets.....". Back to realiity with a bang,eh?

I note a whole load of posts in the General Discussion section, some of which need a response from me, but you'll have to bear with me, am flat out here.

I have some good news (I think) on the next Blonde Tourney, hopefully I can update you all tomorrow.

The what has upset his what ???

Is it after the 9 o'clock watershed ?

 :o :o

Look closer Karabiner. That "n" changes the meaning of the word considerably! As does the "L" in clock.......

Lovely piece of scene-setting Tikay.

Did you find a chippie out there ?

 :)

That's what I was looking for Ralph! And I aint going near that damn pomme de pain place again, that's for sure.

its good to see you only bumped into players 2night Tony, hows the head?

There's always a bloody comedian ready to jump in with a quip, eh....?

It's a little sore, truth to tell, & I got a thumping headache.

Jim R gets the vote for the best post on this subject - I think he described me as "a pain in the glass".

redfox spamm away a card room with the quailty of the international cannot be over spammed

you know it's the home of great champions and can easy take on any of the englandshire casinos if a heads up challenge was made

beginners night does that mean someone will teach iris about the game?

btw 2 rebuy is that the cheapest dealer supplied B&M casino game in the world?

Right, back to business, we are playing again here.

John Gale needs to find a hand, he's about 4k. Stuart Nash is about 37k, Devilfish 28k "going on 42k".

Managed to chat with Bob Coombes & his wife at the break, Joy looks marvellous, which was nice to see.

Sounds like good news for nab so far wish him luck from the getminted regulars!!

Mr Brindley is on a roll, he's just busted Martin De Knijff out, & is up to 32k.

Roy made it 600 pre-flop, Martin raised it up to 2k, Roy called. Flop was K-5-2, all hearts. Roy checks, Martin moves all-in, Roy beats him into the pot.

Martin turns over A-T, (A clubs T hearts), Roy has JJ. No change on the turn & River, & Mr De Knijff is OUT.

Brian Wilson (WSOPin06) wants to say Hi to all his friends (both of them?) who may have been watching. And to Mama Wilson, too. He says he eats his breakfast every day like a good boy.

He's drinking corona, which I assume to be an alchocolic concoction.

Willie Tann is with me, & he says "to all my mates, I'm sorry I let you down". Rubbish, he did nothing of the sort, some days the cards  don't fall. But he'll ALWAYS have a Bracelet!

Hi Tikay,
Up till today I was a virgin poster however I am now going to hit my hatrick, thanks for all the great updates, I had to let you know that corona is actually a soft drink where you get 3d back on the bottle.

cheers,
Dewi

Thsanks Dewi, & welcome.

Ahh, I remember THAT Corona, a van used to come round each week, you could get Orange, Cherry or plain. 1/- a bottle (that's a shilling), & 3d deposit on the bottle.

Brian's Corona looked a bit stronger, though......

Saw Simon Trumper at the Dinner Break, he's just fine now. Mathilde's even finer, but she's still French.

Just patrolled the smaller of the 2 rooms - 3 tables going in their right now, & saw these.....



Mike Magee 22k

Rob Hollink 22k

Roy The Boy Brindley 30k

Dave Colclough 8k

Devilfish 17k

Surinder Sunar 13k

But here's a surprise......

Stuart Nash 48k......!

John Gale OUT, he had J bit v JQ on a J high flop. I really do like John, a perfect Gent.

Andy Black 20k

Barny Boatman 9k

Tony G 4k

And I just saw a nasty little hand, two Americans I think. SB v mid-position on a board of 2-9-3-J-2. Mid position threw his AA away in disgust, while Mr BB proudly paraded his 2-5 off.....

But another nice surprise for you now.......

Adfter seemingly snoozing all afternoon & evening, I noted Carlo Citrone has suddenly got a huge stack, with white chips (the 5k's) sitting on the top. 37k it seems, as a result of some daring play by the North East man - his oppo had KK, & guess what Carlo woke up with? Yup, the Aces.

This tourney is tailor made for Carlo, he can wait with the best of them, & he has the exprerience. He had a horror Final in Vegas, & is due a result. Good Luck Carlo!

Devilfish 20k

Tony Bloom 14k.

Dave Colclough 6,100.

Where's Jen? She's here, & she is gonna give me a little break now.

Carlo has more patience than anyone I've ever seen...including the Whacker...is Garry not there?

great updates as usual

Tony G is OUT. He was short-stacked the whole day, & clung & clung, but it was not to be his day today. From what I saw or heard, he was as quiet as a lamb too.

Meanwhile his Heads-Up adversary in this tourney last year, Surinder Sunar, is quietly going about his business, as ever.

Great updates tony, hows Nab doing??!  ;D

No, not seen Garry Bush, he did not play the comp. Shame, he's another it would suit, but E10,000 is a lotta money.

Nab? Jen is on the case, she will post his count in a few minutes.

Something VERY odd going on here, but not WPT related, so move on swiftly if that's your only reason for being here.

Brian Wilson has asked if he can buy 10% of me in next week's 5k jobbie at The Vic. Julian already has 10% of me, which he bought last week. I am amazed, surprised, & a bit embarrassed about this. Thanks Guys. Maybe they fancy me? For the comp, I hasten to add......

Very weird, very flattering. I sense I'm due a tumble. Poker - & life - is like that.

Hello again, been outside in the wonderful Paris evening, warm and balmy only to return to find the ACF fairly roasting.  Roy Brindley just came to have a look at the other room and voiced his jealousy at their one open window... ah well, the players are dealing with it although they're getting a bit shiny.  It's not helping tempers though; Woody Deck sparked off a bit of a row with Mike Magee and they've both been told to cool off, as it were, or penalties are going to be given.

Nab is going strong despite his tough table.  He has about 33,000 and sits there with an enormous cigar permanently fixed in his mouth.  Haven't seen him light it yet, but the breaks are only 15 minutes long - hardly enough to get through a monster like that.

Also on his table - Andrew Black with 28,000 and the orangey-haired Steve Worr with 35,000. 

ooh, I may be going crazy, but I do believe I feel aircon kicking on...

btw tony you keeping up with my live updates from the wcoop sats?

after this mornings disappointment i am hoovering in top 10 this evening
with just 1 addon $52 spent in total today top 13 get seats this evening

lol what a guy :D thanks for updates!! What are the blinds at? what time does play close?

No Ironside, I've hardly seen any of the Posts on the GD Section. But the WCOOP sounds cool, keep plugging away buddy.

i liked that film

No, just my imagination combined with the opening of the other room's window to create a little cross-breeze.

Going to check on that room now.

lol Ironside you know your B-cinema

And a message from Roy the Boy Brindley to his Mum, who I assume is called something like Joy The Mum Brindley. He says "Hi Mum, I'm doing OK, I am gonna  win this for you". Bet she gets the Trophy, & he gets the money though.......

Hi Tikay/Jen

Could you if possible ask John Gale if he could email me . need a chat with him

Many thanks
Mel

And continuing the Blonde Live Message Service, Stuart Nash asks that we say Hi to his son, Mark. "I'm up to 52k now Mark, so watch this space. I tried to contact you, but could not get through".

 

sorry it was a big hit wait a min it was conair same difference aint it

Now Declan's mother wants us to sort a message with John Gale! If I can find John, I will, but he may have gone, he told someone he would be goling home tomorrow after he bust out earlier this evening.

tikay can you pass a message on to any good looking french birds tell them to give me a phone tyvm

There are exactly 53 players remaining at 6 tables.  It doesn't look like they'll get down the near 40-mark today but you never know, there's a whole 90-minute level left. 

"Good looking French birds". That's not very PC Mr Ironside.

And our latest Member is none other than Mama Wilson - that's Brian Wilson's (WSOPin06) Mum!

Hi WSOPin06's Mum, be proud of that boy of yours. Good player, good guy, though he keeps touching my bottom. Has he always been like that?

i aint never been PC tikay

ok how about nice looking forgien bird is that any better?

Hi, first time caller, long time listener. Just to say I'm such a fan of the Djinn show, I tune in every night. Keep up the good work!

Love and kisses,

Danafish.

In one of the 2 rooms being used, there are 6 tables in total. It's down to 2 tables in one of the rooms, so they are using the other tables for regular cash games. It's like, "well, the WPT is no big deal". I think it IS a big deal.

hi danafish and english does count as forgein

Hello Ironside. I can put on a funny accent, lay-eek zees, eef eet may-eek me sound francaise

Careful what you say Ironside. Danafish is Jen's flatmate (one of), and you'd never guess her day job - she's a busker! How cool is THAT? Oh, & Jen says Danafish is also Jen's alter-ego, but I don't know what one of them is.

Oh no, Ironside & Danafish are flirting now. WTF??!!

Oh Danafish you are so exotic.  Didn't you used to have a chainsaw instead of a left hand?  I'm getting confused.  I think I may be getting heat stroke.

Any players you want chip-counted?

Oh dear, I seem to have caused a scene. Just dropped in to say, you know, hi. I like your website though.

But since you're offering, chip counts are lovely. Anyone I've heard of will do.

dana while jens away you can always come and make me some chips

Surinder Sunar (won it last year, Danafish) has been moved to El Blondie's left (ignoring the dealer, as one does).  He has been holding on to 5,000 which a couple of minutes ago became 7,000 but I get the impression he's not feeling too great and hopefully he can come back tomorrow feeling, well, better.

oh it's all gone quiet over there all gone quiet over they oh its all gone quiet all gone quiet all gone quiet over there

Tikay, you could do a T J Cloutier and sell 15 lots of 10% of yourself for the Vic....create an interesting problem for yourself WHEN you win

Oh, and Danafish, put your picture up not the guy under your name
 ;)

(asking on behalf of Ironside you understand)

Hi

Can you tell Roy, that it is about time he got something for his Mum's mantlepiece.

Sell 150% of myself? Theres not enough of me to go round.

There is some hoo-hah going off on andy Black's table, between a French Gentleman and an Amercian Gentleman. (Spot the two euphanisms). But it's become hellish hot in here, its 01.15, & tempers are fraying on a lot of the tables.

I couldn't work out how to put a picture of me on there and Bruce Campbell was the best I could do with the sorry collection of minor celebrities provided on the site. I'll put a happy face at the end of my posts from now on though, to show good will. Like this.  :)

Ironside is the blonde Official Picture Putter Upper Dana, he'll sort it for you.

do as jen did email me the pic and i'll sort it out for you

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mike Magee is OUT.

He played well today, but his equilibrium was upset when he was called a "jerk" by an American Gentleman, which clearly & visibly upset him.

Hi TRipleB, I passed your message to Roy The Boy Brindley, & he explained who you are. (Our little secret, eh?).

He says he wants to get enough to buy a new BMW. Must be a thumping great mantelpiece, eh?

But the good news is that Roy is on top of his game, & has 42k. That's officially "Good Shape".

Oh cool, that would be great, everyone thinks I'm actually Bruce Campbell. Although maybe I kind of like that... No, I'll email you a picture tomorrow or something if my brother lets me play with his computer. Cheers.

sent you my email via PM

tell your brother if he dont let you on the pc i'll set reddog on him

Dana, Jen told me all about your busking, where you busk, how much you make, the best day's busking you ever had, & your super cool website. You sound as mad as Jen, if I may make so bold. Must be a fascinating house that you 4 live in. Oh, & the mad cat.

Hi TK

Thanks for passing on the message.

Glad to read he is in good shape. Keep him off the beers and he may make day 2 for a change!

Keep up the good work!

The Mystery Poster.

Forget That!

Send him to the pub and he will make Day 2!

Keep him off the beers? You suggesting Roy DRINKS?  That's a disgraceful slur. But I tell you what, he's not had a drink today, & he's playing out of his skin.

yuk that must be off putting for other players on his table

OK, as we are being hionest now, Roy drinks like a Fish, & he plays best when he's totally bladdered. But he's not had a drink tonight, & that's a fact.

Robert Williamson OUT - just as someone was exiting the table behind his with KJ which hit top pair and another guy's set of 8s, short-stacked Williamson moved all-in on the big blind with 55 only to find the small blind sitting on AA!  So that's two in two minutes.

Oh and the dispute (which was actually serious enough to halt play on ALL tables) was about a guy who declared all-in, had his hand mucked by the dealer and would have been called by the American guy (Steve Worr) who then made a fuss at the same time as all-in guy piped up about his missing hand.  It was decided that mucked-hand guy would just have to pay off the initial raise and not be forced to lose his whole stack.

Mike Sexton has just wandered in, I guess for the Televised Final on Friday. He's not as big as he looks in real telly.

Wow, I'm glad Jen's told everyone how much I make. I want to make it clear that that one day at Tottenham Court Road is not a good representation... Has she told you how bad beginner's banjo sounds? The cat says hello, by the way, in her own special unconscious way.

I hope that made some kind of sense, not sure I'm even sure what was going on there.

Oh and we thought we'd lost Dave but he just got moved.  If this had happened in Vegas he'd have been reported as out for the hour it took to find him again.

Mike Sexton just turned up and he's smaller than he looks on TV.

The cat says Hi? Yup, it "chirps" if you touch it? Spooky that, as my eldest Cat - she's VERY old & tetchy - chirps when you touch her, too.

And I am not "everyone". She only told me how much you made on that glorious day. 7.35, it's too much.

Dave Colclough (7,500) now has Tony Bloom to his immediate left, & Carlo Citrone immediately to HIS  left. A little corner of the UK, here in Paris.

El Blondie said that before Tony Bloom arrived, he had THE world's easiest blind steal, but now Mr Bloom has arrived, it's the worlds hardest blind to try & steal. Carlo's response is not repeatable.

Almost minimum wage, man, almost... Cat made kind of a squeaking sound this time, although usually it's more of a chirp. She howls at night for no reason as well. Jen, you'll be pleased to know that the cat food is still stuck to her head as when you left.

She howls at night? Mine too!

Mr Brindley looks very smart indeed today. Instead of his usual bright RED Laddies shirt, he has a brand new BLACK Laddies shirt.

Is that like something primaeval or is it just an attention thing? Nothing actually weirds her out any more, I got within an inch of her with the vacuum the other day

You not playing Tikay? Did you just go to Paris to take part in the bike race or you gone for the poker ?

Dana /Jen 

that cat of yours is a nutter , get john to put her in the box again :)  so funny

No, not playing Stu, my nerve failed me at the last moment. Anyway, I have to pop back to London for the day tomorrow.

But I AM playing next week at The Vic - sold 20% of myself in fact. How crazy is that? One born every minute, eh?

We can maybe get him to put pictures of Cat up somewhere everyone can see them. He has videos as well now, you know. Maybe I'll put them on my website. With a link to them saying 'hot pussy action' or something similarly awful

how much does it cost to buy a % of you tony? i am willing to spend 5 on half a percent

No, the cat howling is not primaeval. Its in the "weaned too early" department I think. Charlie (the eldest cat) is tetchy & unapproachable most of the day, but goes all sucky wucky & demands a cuddle twice a day. She thinks I'm her Mum I think.

Don't do it Ironside! The pressure would be too much.

Devilish now on Andy Black and Ken Lennard's table.  I think they must have broken another one. 

Andy Black       15,500
El Blondie           7,500
Barny Boatman  14,800
Stuart Nash      50,000
Rob Hollink       17,000
Devilfish           13,000
Tony Bloom     15,200
NabTheAce     27,000
Ken Lennard    40,000
Roy Brindley     40,000
Gilles Haddad    78,000 - and the chip leader by a healthy chunk

Now, enough cats & busking, lets get serious. We have a comp to follow. Behave, all of you.

you forgot the f in devilfish

Aah, isn't that cute? My cat has been totally beaten into submission by 16 years of aggressive love. Now she just goes limp and takes it. I can put her on my head, like a cat hat

You don't forget much do you? lol

Saw Andy Black telling Devilfish "Just let it go, let it go" a minute ago but they were all smiling for a change. 

I mean, yes, sorry, I'm going. Bye now

Just had a message from Dexy.

Yes Mum, your Son is doing terrific - he had about 25k last time I looked. No clothes - he left them at home - but plenty of chips.

Oh, & "Son" is Carlo Citrone.

Adam,

Got your PM, but cant reply for technical reasons.

But I will be in England tonorrow for 3 or 4 hours - arrive on Eurostar about midday, & then back to Paris again at 6 - can you ring me please?

apart from names and face i forget very little thats the beauty of a photographic memory


now where did i put my car keys?

OK it's the end of day 1, 2.  In the last five minutes, Dave, Roy Brindley and Andy Black have all gone all-in, with no callers.  It looks like they're all back tomorrow, then!

Garage, de ja vue, ailerons de pullet

 well thats my french exausted, Hi guys

Yup,another day done.

We are expecting san onslaught of guys telling us their bad beat stories, so it's time to run for cover.

We will be signing off shortly, it's been another long day, but great fun.

Thanks to Jen for her hard work, enthusiasm, insightful posts, & utter lunacy. She's as mad as a hatter, you know, completely doo-lally.

And thanks to Bruno for facilitating us.

And to you guys for watching, & for posting, it's your posting that keeps us going.

Woody Deck out with A4 vs a K 10 which flopped the nut straight.  Took a shot to double up to 18k or go home, and it's home.

Barny Boatman knocked back to about 5k when his flopped set was flushed by Rob Hollink on the last hand.  Rotten.  But coming back tomorrow.

Thanks guys has been really fun refreshing this page a million times!!! Look forward to tommorow! ;D ;D

And right on cue, Barny Boatman arrives to tell us that on his very last hand, his set got turned over by a flush, & he's back down to 5k, where he was 7 hours ago.

And Stuart Nash tells us he has 52,700.

Roy Brindley, with his usual carrier bag in hand, 45,525 (approx). He flopped Quads the very last hand!

We MAY get some chip counts later, but don't wait up, it may take a while.

Excellent work as always Tikay/Jen... Thankyou

Dave Colclough 5,525.

Carlo Citrone 26,625.

Dave appears to have gone back to his hotel. He's still under the weather with the cold-flu he picked up on the plane home from Vegas, & he's battled his heart out all day, with no cards & no luck. He can be satisfied with a tough day which he has, somehow, survived. He blames me for feeling bad, too. I told him to get an early night last night, so he did, & slept 14 hours straight. Reckoned he felt worse when he woke up!

Dexy - thanks for the second message. You are welcome!

Sleep well.

any chance of some final chip counts,in particular that well known top Irish paris based player Tom (2 heineken) Ryan?

I'lltake that as a no

Tom Ryan? I can't see his name amongst the survivors. If it's Irishmen, or Irish based guys, you are intersted in, these are the guys I can see.....

Frank Callaghan - 92,325, he's the chip leader.

Roy Brindley, 45,525

Rory Liffey, 25,725

Andrew Black, 23,575

Average Chips would be circa 30,000.

Jen will post the full list of survivors later today.

Thanks to both of you for the updates, I couldn't stand the pace or excitement so had to drop out on page 16.
Looking forward to tonight's battle.

Ah, so that's how the pro's make their money.

Does anyone have a breakdown of the prize money??

Can anyone tell me how the great ELVIS SENIOR is doing?
