blonde poker forum

 :(  I was second out of the main event -I liked a flop of A 9 5 which matched my pocket 5s, but couldn't get 'bad girl' pham to drop her two 7s. She called and hit a 7 on the turn. I wasn't good enough to pass my hand, and the vietnamese beauty put me to the sword. Set under set just doesn't work.

Hi Tikay
Having just typed a post asking for details on Gus Hansen and Greg Raymer (and average chip count!), I got a rather cool message stating "Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post". Telepathy or what!?!
Well done on getting the forum up and running.
jbsc7769

Hi Simon

Sorry to say Greg Raymer - who I shared a table with for 3 hours - busted out in spectacular fashion. He had AK v KK, & hit his K. Oops!

Gus is doing OK-ish, but his table is being dominated by Stuart Fox & Devilfish.

 :-* Cheers Tikay. looking forward to your next update.

Nice going guys, keep up the good work for us armchair players  ;D

Well done guys on getting the Forum up and running. Just wondering Dave how did the betting go during that hand with Badgirl, that she decided to still call with 77?    who says you dont need luck.
Sorry to hear that you busted out , good luck in the rest of 2005

 

"I Know It".

Dave hit his set of 5's on an A high flop & bet it, Bad Girl called with 77 & hit her set on the turn. The rest as they say, is history.......

 Nice site, unlucky Dave.

Bambos is in cruise mode, 24k.

Vicky Lincoln has about 15k - she looks absolutely stunning, in a French style outfit with matching black beret....Fashion comments? What other poker sites give you them?

The Camel looks pretty stunning too.....but he's OUT, poor fella.

 Do you know if Christer Johansson is still in?

Christer Johasnsson - he departed during first 2 levels, in a 3 way pot. The Camel tells me it was a 3 way pot, Christer had KK, & he was up against AJ & J-T on a J-T-x flop.

    Thanks, thats my bet lost though >:(

 

Is Julian still doing the foxtrot Tikay ?

At least your chip leader on the postings with 9 Tony.

50-1 anyone beats Tikay for the number of posts this year.

Great site, will tell all 3 of my mates ( allright, aquaintences, cause bookies have no mates ) to use this site.

Bet you get over 500 sign in before Cheltenham festival.

You can also get updates on The Hendon Mob Forum, Joe Beevers is sorting these out - check it out NOW!

How long is play scheduled for today? (or how many levels?)

Any news Boeken...I guess your luck runs good when you are banging the host of the EPT shows

Update at 00.50 Local Time.

33 left. Blinds 800-1,600, running ante 150. They play down to the Final tonight, the Final - which will be filmed - will be tomorow.

Gary Bush OUT - his AK v KK

Ram 30k

Pokergirl 28k

Noah Boaken 80k

Stuart Fox 15k. Stuart took a huge beat when in with KK against Pokergirl's AJ - an A rivered.

Padraig - 95k.

Eric 123 Sagstrom 50k. Eric & Padraig clashed, Eric's AK spades ran into Padraig's AA.

Xuyen Bad Girl Pham 32k

Bambos 30k

Danish guy to Marcel's left - name not known - 180k.

You can cut the atmosphere with a knife up there, it's a wonderful spectacle, & the room is absolutely heaving with railbirds.

Julian up to 90k...Fox and Pokergirl out.

Could you tell me if Boaz Lavie is still in please.

Thanks

Boaz Lavie - I will try & fnd out for you.

I dont know what time they started there but if they have that many left and are playing down to 9, that could be a VERY long night. Good YoYo had some practiceat the late night tourney in Luton last week.

The Final will be an 8 player jobbie. 23 left now.

Thewy is living up to his Yo-Yo nickname. From 45k to 90k back to 45k & now having just busted a short stack (Thewy A-T v Low Stack K-T) he is back to 53k. All in 10 minutes. I have a hunch that Julian & Noah are gonna clash big time soon.

Marcel has cornered the market in low denomination chips, & has them in his trade mark "pile 'em high" stack some 30cm high! Think he has about 90k, hard to count though.

Padraig is on course to make history - the first player to make the money in an EPt & a WPT Event in the same week. Least, thats what he tells me.....

Ram Vaswani, one of the real class acts in the field, looks cool & unflustered, probably about 70k now & absolutely cruising.

Sadly, Vicky Lincoln has exited, but she did so with the grace & dignity of a real Lady.

Bambos is sitting quietly with about 40k.

Xuyen Bad Girl Pham has been card dead for the last 6 levels, and has an awful seat.

I am struggling to find any news on Boaz Lavie.

Thanks for looking. It's a great website you've started here.

A big thanks to Joe Beevers & The Hendon Mob.

He has been incredibly helpful to blondepoker.com & in particular tikay, tonight, when we have been struggling to do updates for the first time.

A big thank you to Joe who is an absolute gentleman.

Julian Yo-Yo Thew is making a nonsense of our updates - he is back to 90k again!

In a pot with 5-6 of spades (he's tightened up.....), he check raised when he flopped 4 to the flush & his oppo moved in with top pair, Thewy caught the flush. Quality starting hands, that's the secret of Thewy's success.

It's BUBBLE TIME

19 left, 18 get paid, it's hand for hand on 3 tables. When it gets to 18, they break for the night, & return tomorrow.

Eric 123 Sagstrom busted out 20th in a 120k pot with TT against the chip leader, the Danish guy Petersen (?).

Noah 55k

Ram 130k- ducking & diving, & playing hardball.

Padraig 66k

Pham 17k & clinging on now, card dead for hours.

Bambos 50k

Marcel 120k

Thewy 90k.

18th gets paid about 35k Danish, thats about 3,500 english. (still no pound sterling sign on this damn computer....).

Good work with the updates Tony. What time things kicking off tonight?

Thanks for the reports Tikay all good stuff.

Good Luck Julian

Thanks Guys

They commence battle at 1500 local time (1400 UK time), & play dow to a Final table of 8. It's a TV table & so it'll take a little time to "wire" everyone & get them set up, so I guess there will be a break of an hour or two before the Final starts.

We will be doing updates throughout.

OK, gotta go. Dinner with Thewy & Bad Girl in 10 minutes. They pay me to coach them, you know........

And me thinking all the while that it was Jim'the bandit' !

  ::)

Thewy in action first hand - he had AA (he get's no luck that boy, eh?) against the all-in Katja Spillum with Q-9. Thewy's AA held up on a board of T-7-4-J-A, he wins a pot of some 70k, & unlucky Katja is out.

17 left.

Then Padraig, on the other table, found AA, against Lindholt Juntgungen (?) with KQ off. Board was Q-5-6-Q (ouch!)-9 , for a 70k pot, leaving poor Padraig down to about 30k.

killer

Jarkko Laine is OUT.

16 left.

Xuyen Bad Girl Pham & Padraig both hanging in there.

18th, 17th & 6th all pay 34k Danish, 15 to 13th inclusive pays 40k Danish. Divide by 10 for real money.

Blinds now 2k-4k, running ante 400.

Bad News for Bad Girl

Bad Girl Pham, who has been patience personified, but now down to about 15k, moves all-in with QQ, & needs the 2 callers she inevitably gets, & looks good to treble up. But an A hit the board, Marcel had an A, & that was that, Xuyen Bad Girl Pham is out in 16th place for 34k Danish. Pah for Pham!

But she won many friends & more hearts with a tremendous display, one which she can be proud of & William Hill Poker, her sponsor, must be delighted with.

15 left, next 3 spots worth 40k Danish.

Padraig gone! He never recovered from having his AA bust earlier today by KQ..

14 left.

The pick of the tables looks to be Marcel, Ram & Thewy. This is coming to the boil nicely, and could be a real stonking Final.

Thewy has 130k, I will try & get a handle on Ram & Marcel's stacks shortly, but it's well crowded in the Arena.

They on a break? what's going on Tony?

The last Lady in the comp, Birgitta Johansson exits in 14th.

Then.....KAPOW - Spectacular stuff here in Copenhagen.

Marcel, down to 30k, moves all-in, & gets 2 deep-stacked callers.

Flop is K-T-T. Deep Stack # 1 makes it 7 k to go - into a 90k pot mind! - & other deep stack passes. On their backs.

So, Flop K-T-T.

Marcel shows QQ

Deep Stack shows J-T

Turn is A, for K-T-T-A. Marcel has just 2 outs now.

River is.............. Q.....!

Marcel escapes, there is a HUGE roar, the crowd go wild.

Wonderful stuff!

They are on a short break now.

17.55 local time, 9 (NIINE) runners left, & it's bubble time for the 8 man TV Table.

Thewy has about 150k, Bambos 115k, Marcel 50k, & Ram about....250k!

Looking good!

Bambos 111,500

YoYo Thew 163,500

Dan Pedersen 113,100

Noah Boeken 99,400

Alex Cooper 206,500

Erik Kolaas 128,300

Ram Vaswani 294,100

Mikael Wesetrlund 443,700

There is a huge crowd sated around the TV Table, & the atmosphere is electric.

More later.....

Hi Tikay,
Hope I am not repeating info you provided elsewhere, what is the money breakdown for final table?
jbsc776

FINAL - very first hand, Erik Kolaas makes a R of 15k, Ram RR to 50k, Erik RRR all-in for 128k, Ram calls.

Ram QQ Erik AK, board all rags, Erik out very first hand.

Money? Dunno, but will get it soon as pss. But first prize is about 1 million Danish, thats 100,000 English.

There were 156 runners paying about 19,300 Danish Kroners each, & there is tax & tronc of 5% I believe. You can pretty much work out the approximate loot from there.

tikay-hiya bud. how u doin? yo-yo goin well?

Dan Pedersen OUT, 6 left.

Thewy, Ram & Bambos all sitting quietly......

Hiya Slo-Mo, welcome aboard!

TAKES US TECHNO-PHOBES A LONG TIME LOL.  GOOD STUFF THIS SITE. BTW ANY CHIPCOUNTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE ?

Could you please type a little faster slo-mo !

 ::)

SORRY - DO EVERYTHING SLOW. U WOULDNT WANT TO FOLLOW ME ROUND THE GOLF COURSE.

Hope your down notts tonight slo-mo, will buy you a drink and we can settle up.

Maybe have another bet on who goes out first. :)

SETTLE UP ?

And then there were 5......

Ram is rampant, & has taken out original chip leader. Ram forced Mikael to give best in 2 huge pots by RRR-ing, then Ram found AA against the same guy, slow played them, the flop was all Rags, Ram checked, Mikael Westerlund moved in, Ram called, bingo!

Ram is absolutely massive, between 900,000 & 1 million, the other 4 are all between 120k & 200k

Julian has not played a hand - stole the BB once, but he's still there, as is Bambos.

Dinner Break now.

what time we off again then?

They are playing again, & we are down to FOUR now.

Ram, Bambos, Noah & YoYo Thew.

Thewy is probably low stack with about 100, Noah & Bambos a little more but Thewy is "playing" now.

4th spot pays 17 large (English)

here you go mate, cut and paste this.

Hehe, nice one Adam!

Pah! Thewy out 4th. Julian had A-3 against A-5, and on a KK4 flop it looked odds on a split pot, but a nightmare (for Thewy) deuce rivered, so the 5 played.

Bambos, Noah & Ram battle on.

Bambos just moved for 220k with Q-9 against Ram's K-8, & caught the Q. Can Bambos make a game of it....?

Thewy takes home 170,000 Danish Kroners - thats 17k sterling. Tremendouis effort by the William Hill man.

A massive well done to JT, what a start to the year for the man. the thing is, who is going to be able to talk him in to visiting the WSOP !
Well Done

couldn't agree more. man should head straight for Binions in may. Well done Julian. Touch of class.

Tikay is having problems at his end so has asked me to keep you up to date.
Bambos with 10,10 all-in against Ram with K,J. Ram hit his king so it's heads up. Ram has around 1 million chips, noah about half that.

Noah has made something of a come back. now evenly matched at approximately 750,000 chips each

chip count
Ram = 559 000
Noah  1 050 000

...And it's over. Noah Boeken has won it, Ram comes in second.
Tikay will post a proper report ASAP.

that's what I call exclusive

Any idea if Mr Geary played?

George Geary? No, George was not there.

George Geary you will find george playing at casino 36 Stockport on Mon/Wed/Fri and 235 Manchester on sunday

now that's poor bumpage.

lol I played in this trny and DC gave me a card with this forum on it.

seconded.

...and you are eminently placed to say that.
