It looks more crowded due to the ongoing construction of the Feature Table, which dwarfs the gaming tables and in fact takes up a good proportion of the centre of the casino. No fliming today, however. Looks like it might start on time.
Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 04:21:55 PM Neil Fox is OUT. First hand of the day.
Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 04:35:51 PM More hands than you can shake a stick at.
First of all Roberto Romanello outdraws a Scandie with A-8 vs Q-J on a J-8-x Flop. 18k more into a 25k pot, the Welshman gives it the old chat saying, "Will you show, will you show if I pass? Will you show? No response, huh?" The Scandie just gives him a blank look. Anyhow, Roberto does call and hits an Ace on the Turn. "Sorry mate, that's the way it goes." ------------------- Meanwhile, Paul Dobson's stack has dropped down to around the 50k mark after doubling up young E Bowker. Bowker = 7h 7c Dobson = Ad Kh Board = 3d 9h 7s 9c 7d ------------------- And John Gale is in doubling up mood too, sending chips over to shiny headed John Bates. All the chips flew in on a 7h 4c 9c with bald John holding 5d 6d (open ended) to hairy John's 8d 9s Turn = 3h River = 9h ----------------- And would you Adam and Eve it, another double up! This time it's Paul Raynor, his Kings emphatically holding up against Wayne Woodridge's A-Qs on a 2-5-K-2-3 Flop. As a result, Raynor is now up to the 40k. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 04:44:13 PM First level double ups- Chris Bruce gives some of those leader chips away to Shanti Samarant (all in preflop with Ahrt Ks). To be fair, Chris had Kd Kc.
Flop: 3s 9s 5s (oooh, go the table) Turn: 6s (aaah, go the table) River: Qs (the table no longer care) So Shanti has 25k now, while a small dent appeared in the leader. I. Bowden also doubles to 16k (Sevens vs. AK - which seems to be one of the two hands in every showdown). Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 04:47:47 PM And those who've pushed with the opposite result (i.e. elimination):
D. Sami, with just 4k or so - "Just call me and double me up or send me home," he says, holding Kc Kd... but Des Jonas felt obliged to call and some kind of outdraw occurred because the next thing that happened was Sami cussing up a quiet storm, and storming off. Alan Henson is also OUT, thanks to Jac Arama, who was himself short stacked and remarked, "I didn't think I had enough chips to knock anyone out." Which must have been a comfort to Alan. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 04:53:45 PM Never seen action come this thick and fast!
John Gale the latest exit, his all-in move againt original raiser Paul Dobson not being enough to get him to fold A-8, John in all sorts of trouble with his A-6 and cleary hoping for a split pot, if not a 6. And when the Td Qc Kc 9c 2c that split pot looked likely, until Paul pointed to his Ac. ------------------- Darshan Sami is OUT. Was shorstacked and found Kings, but unfortunately two smooth callers, the Big Blind value calling with 7s 4s before making a Flush. -------------------- Dick Lynch is also OUT. I haven't spotted Dick today (ahem), but fellow Lutonian Ray Brown retold the story of how he first lost with A-K to 7-7, then J-J to K-K and K-K, before finally losing with A-J vs. 8-8 for his last 2k. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 04:53:46 PM Double with a twist (more like triple) up for S. Dixon... Nik Persaud raises under the gun to 3,400. He's called by button Ganesh Rao and small blind Graham Newman. Then big blind Dixon says something like, "OK go for it," and moves in for a total of 7k. This, of course, reopens the betting, and Nik makes the isolation raise, to 22,400. The amount of dwell given by Ganesh Rao implies that this was, in fact, a good idea, as they both get out of the way for Nik to show Ac 6c, against Dixon's Th Jh.
Flop: Td 3s 9h Turn: 3c River: Jd Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 04:56:54 PM Judging by the rail, it looks as though Andrew Jackson and AuYeung are also OUT.
TBC ------------------------ Graham Newman is dealt a cruel blow by local player (I often see him down the Broadway), Toni Decesari, his A-K being Rivered by the Midlander's A-Q. ------------------------ John Huckle is OUT. Made his move from the button with A-8 but ran into the Big Blind's A-Q. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 05:01:56 PM Lucy Rokach is out in dramatic circumstances.
Limp calling with J-9 to Paul Kings A-J pre-flop raise, both players checekd the Q-J-x Flop before Lucy moved in all over the top of Paul's bet on the Turn. "Paul called instantly," reported Ash Pervais, the A-J holding up by the raggy River. ---------------- The following local lads have also bitten the dust (according to Dani): Ram Latha Tony Harman ----------------- Rory McHugh is OUT. Nick Slade took most of his chips with K-T vs A-T. But he was eventually finished off by The Welsh Wizard, Iwan Jones, whose A-K was more than enough to see of the shortstack's (and I mean VERY shortstacked) McHugh's T-9. He was teased though, Ten first card, Ace on the Turn. ----------------- T Choy Sing is drowning his sorrows at the bar, so I think he MUST be a gonna too. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 05:28:18 PM Jimmy Ruehle is OUT. Ran Jacks into Mohammed Shafiq's American Airlines.
----------------- Mickey Wernick has also recently departed, his 7c 7s all-in being looked up by Kc Jh. 4d 7d Jd Flop no good for The Worm. The 8d Turn brought glimmers of a potential split pot, but it failed to arrive on the 5c River. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 05:35:02 PM And in around the same minute, Maria 'Chili' Demetriou is OUT - sick of being a short stack, moving in and picking up blinds to stay level, she found Ac 9c, raised to 5k preflop (leaving 12k behind). Nik Persaud, who'd just been moved to her table with towers of chips re-raised to 20k. His reputation preceded him (she said, "He was calling everything, had chips up to here...") but this time, when she called, she found him with Kd Kc. I think a King came, too, just making sure, and she's off, although not too upset seeing as she double qualified for this event, and gets to play the next one.
Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 05:38:37 PM Rory McHugh is OUT. Nick Slade took most of his chips with K-T vs A-T. But he was eventually finished off by The Welsh Wizard, Iwan Jones, whose A-K was more than enough to see of the shortstack's (and I mean VERY shortstacked) McHugh's T-9. He was teased though, Ten first card, Ace on the Turn. A bit more detail on the stack-destroying Nick Slade hand - I saw the chips which doubled up Nick heading his way on a Qd 6s 9h 5c Jc board with the Kh Tc in front of Nick and the Aspades Kd in front of Mchugh... I was just puzzling over what had happened when Iwan Jones says, "Look, Jen's trying to figure out where the money went in on this board...it was preflop." A sheepish look from Nick, whose rivered Jack for the straight kind of went over his head for a few seconds before he realised he'd been given a new lease of life. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 05:43:46 PM Peter Smyth is OUT.
His flabber is very gasted too. "The guy in Seat 1 made if 4k, I moved in with Queens for 25k and he called instantly, no hesitation, I couldn't believe it... A-J. Of course, he hit his Ace and the rest is history." --------------------- John Vaccarella is also OUT. Coinflip with Ian Woodley, John's Queens losing out to Ian's Big Slick. --------------------- Also caught Stevie Rees on the rail. Nines v A-Q, Queen on flop. --------------------- Edward Phipps and Andrew Douglas are gone too. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 05:44:25 PM Paul Moss has had a pretty good afternoon - early on eliminating Tim Blake with A-K vs. Q-J, and then getting into a three-way pot with Kings, which got him up over the 30k mark. More chip counts after a full circuit of the Room (which now involves a kind of detour round the TV table building site...).
Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 05:47:25 PM Kenny Bruke is the latest departure.
David Johnson -- 67,300 Ouday Hickary -- 32,300 Stephen Holden -- out James Demspey -- 52,300 Paul King -- 124,800 Toni Dicesari has just been felted. His K-Qs failing to outdo Jac Arama's A-J. Board was 7-6-8-2-7 Nik Hicks is OUT: "I moved into the big blind of another table with 20k, found Tens and re-raised all-in. A-J got me when he hit a Jack on the Flop. Not too many flops played today" Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 06:18:09 PM As they break another table (we're down to 80 players) here are a bunch of chip counts, excepting those players who've just been redispersed - will look for them in a minute...
James Browning 25,000 Roberto Romanello 105,000 Peter Evans 73,000 Dave Smith 16,000 Chris Sokrati 68,000 Stasia Xanthos 25,500 Rob Cook 16,000 Thomas Grundy 47,000 Barney Boatman 46,000 Joe Beevers 75,000 Paul Gourlay 71,500 Dan Carter 63,600 Matt Tyler 23,000 James Dempsey 45,000 Jac Arama 28,000 Steve Jelinek 55,000 Jerome Bradpiece 58,000 Iwan Jones 34,000 John Conroy 45,000 Mark Herron 52,500 John Keown 34,500 Paul Moss 52,000 Paul King 123,000 Ganesh Rao 78,000 David Parker 25,000 Ram Lakha 100,000 Chris Bruce 110,000 Ben Callinan 22,000 Kirshan Larsen 40,000 Ryan Fronda 54,000 Ross Boatman 65,000 Paul Rayner 75,000 Ian Woodley 36,000 Craig Owen 60,000 Ed Arees 35,000 Warren Wooldridge 27,000 Joe Koumi 45,000 Alan Mclean 20,500 Paul Dobson 47,000 Graham Newman 40,500 Stefan Eccles 31,000 E. Bowker 35,000 Steve Gibbons 86,000 Des Jonas 36,000 Tony Mackay 75,000 Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 06:27:14 PM They're currently on a break now, but I did catch a few big hands near the end, one of which involved one of the requested players, Matt Tyler, his 8-2 outdrawing Essy Jahanpour's A-T. and if you're wondering how he got it in with 8-2, it's because Essy was painfully shortstacked. Matt still only has 27,200, which says it all.
Meanwhile, next door neighbour Joe Beevers is fairing rather better with 69,800. ------------------ Also, last hand before the break, Paul Dobson raised with A-Qs, Nik Persaud moved all-in with K-9 and Paul called. Nine high Flop leave Dobson with just 400 chips. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 06:29:53 PM Flushy gets involved with Barney Boatman, who called his raise in the big blind. They saw a 4h 8s 7s flop.. Barney checked and James thought out loud, eventually betting 6k. Barney calls.
Turn: 5s Now Barney moves in, for around 20k, over half of Flushy's stack. He's not liking this, and a great deal of talking ensues. "No question I was calling on the flop," says Flushy. "I'll show you if you pass," replies Barney. "Will you show me one now?" "If it was allowed." Flushy turns to the supervisor: "Can he show me a card?" - reply - "If he wants to fold he can." Flushy turns back to Barney, "Do you want to show?" "Not really." It did rather look like Flushy was buying himself time to talk himself into passing, and pass he did. "Lucky that card came to save you," said Barney, looking at the scare card turn. He eventually half kept his promise, showing the 8c. That had a real ring of truth about it, in my opinion. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 06:47:39 PM Here's the prize payout, waiting for the last three tables...
1 £111,600 2 £59,400 3 £39,600 4 £28,800 5 £21,600 6 £18,000 7 £14,400 8 £10,800 9 £7,200 10 £5,400 11 £3,600 12-15 £2,880 16-21 £2,520 22-27 £2,160 Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 06:50:30 PM Some updated chippy counts...
Alan Vinnicombe -- 40,500 James Dempsey -- 42,300 Dan Carter -- 49,300 Chris Sokrati -- 66,600 Adam Wilkinson -- 24,900 Alan McLean -- 27,600 Ed Arees -- 58,700 Mark Boulas -- 65,000 Elliott Bowker -- 37,700 Nik Persaud -- 91,500 Ryan Fronda -- 49,800 Chris Bruce -- 94,100 Ash Hussain -- 41,800 Stasia Xanthos -- 16,500 Jay Patel -- 38,200 Ouday Hickary -- 71,200 Ky Hutchinson -- 11,600 James Browning -- 20,500 Dave Smith -- 15,900 Des Jonas -- 22,200 Ben Callinan -- 25,000 Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 07:02:36 PM Looks like Welsh youngster Ouday Hickary is challenging for the chip lead with approximately 130k.
His latest scoop being a set of nines on a K-9-x Flop, Martino Libertini being the ufortunate victim, his K-J button raise dominated by Ouday's 9-9 in the small blind. ------------------- The player with the smallest forename, Ky Hutchinson, is OUT, losing a T-T vs. A-K coinflip with Alan Vinnicombe. No Ace, no King, but a cheeky 3 on the River for a straight, had to be a non-club too. ------------------- Paul King is the current chip leader with 140k. ------------------- Joe Koumi is OUT. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 07:11:59 PM what are the blinds? tell dave smith to keep his chin up(not if he looks like hes going all in though,lol) FRAN Blinds 1k/2k ante 200, just about to go up to 1,500/3,000 ante 300, which won't slow the pace down much. We anticipate a chip-consolidation lull occurring shortly after the dinner break. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 07:17:10 PM Stephen Millar, a new name to me, has doubled up.
Millar = Aspades 7s Joe Beevers = Ks Qd Board = Js 4h Ts 5s 3s -------------------- Meanwhile, Nick Slade has also doubled up with Sixes versus A-K. Ryan Fronda folded A-Q, but even though he would have Flopped an Ace, it's a good job because Slade made a set on the River. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 07:17:36 PM Flushy has just gone. A-Q vs 8-8 race, after all the drama of the last hour and a half it seems slightly anticlimactic. He was short, now, however, and his best shot missed sending him to the rail.
Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 07:30:46 PM Ed Arees -- 58,100
Amanda Birney -- 17,100 Joe Beevers -- 112,600 Ian Herbert -- 37,300 Mateyboy -- 37,800 Adam Wilkinson -- 33,300 Scott Dixon -- 40,000 Stephen Millar -- 26,200 Jerome Bradpiece -- 76,000 Mohammed Shafiq -- 81,900 Richard Wong -- 18,900 Nik Persaud -- 63,800 Chris Lipris -- 16,400 Elliott Bawker -- 98,500 Steve Gibbons -- 145,800 Steve Jelinek -- 49,500 Des Jonas -- 58,800 A Mackay -- 85,400 Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 07:44:02 PM Iwan feels the call of the short-stack all-in, and creates a big pot for Paul Plimmer... Iwan moved in on the button for his 20k or so, and got an instacall all-in from the small blind Paul. Then Peter Evans decided to have a go too from the big blind, calling to cover both short stacks.
Iwan showed: 9h 7h Paul showed: Ac Jc Peter showed: Aspades 6d Flop: Kc Kd 9s Turn: 7c (looking better for Iwan than it really was, this card) River: 4c and Paul Plimmer gets very excited at having his stack now over 56k - some "YES!" style shouting prompting the wits on the table to say simultaneously, "Who won that one?" Iwan won the side pot and has 5k, although the walk to the press area and back takes enough time that by the next posting he'll have at least 11k or be out. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 07:44:11 PM Richard Wong has been removed from that table by Mohammed Shafiq, 7c 9c vs Ac 9d. Board = 7s 5h Kc 4c Jh, all the chips going in on the flop.
--------------- A real kick in the balls now for a certain Poker Night Live player now, James Browning finding himself all-in against Billy Ngo in a pot that would "get me right back in it". Dominating with A-K vs A-3, the board came 5-J-6-9 until the River drowned the Geordie with a nasty 3c. Ouch. He looked devestated, but he took it like soldier, saying good luck before departing. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 07:51:38 PM Chris Lipris doubles up against Des Jonas, who gives his 7-7 a spin with A-8.
Flop: A-Q-A Turn: 9 River: 7 and with Nik saying he passed the other seven, it's a case card river to save the Walsall player, and dent an 18k-sized hole in Jonas' stack. Meanwhile Ross Boatman finds his button raise to 8k (or so) re-raised out of the big blind by aggressive student Thomas Grundy. It's a not-quite-callable 27,000 more, and enough to get rid of the last remaining Boatman. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 08:00:27 PM Paul Rayner -- 45,800
Brian Johnson -- 120,400 Craig Owen -- 81,200 Ram Latha -- 50,100 Dan Carter -- 49,200 Jac Arama -- 67,000 Reyaaz Mulla -- 19,700 Alan McLean -- 50,900 Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 08:16:03 PM I knew that side-by-side Romanello and Soxy would create action - raise, re-raise, re-raise all in, and Roberto's 9d 9c was up against Chris' Aspades Kc. The board brought a King but no hope for the nines, and so the Mouth is OUT, while Soxy's count rose to 80k...
Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 08:17:30 PM Chris Sokrati -- 102,800
Toni Dicesare -- 79,200 Ian Woodley -- 22,100 Mark Herron -- 91,100 Ash Pervais -- 109,300 Jay Patel -- 134,900 Mark Boulos -- 121,300 Ouday Hickary -- 102,600 Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 08:21:14 PM Ryan Fronda, whose determination in the face of short-stackedness is what won him that last Luton title, has solidly increased his stack to one which feels no all-in pressure yet, and gives him the room to make more moves. He's not willing to risk it all on a gamble, however - having raised to 10k, small blind Chris Bruce immediately pushed all in and left Ryan considering whether 75k (a pretty even match-up to his stack, in fact, a bit more) was worth calling with his hand. As he passed I saw a 9c, so I think the hand which knocked out Roberto was laid down by Ryan...
Interestingly, Nick Slade piped up saying if Chris hadn't done that, he would've, seeing as he'd just passed Jacks to that rather large bet... Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 08:28:12 PM Stephen Millar has snipered one of the few Mateyboys.
Qd Qs vs 7d 7s Qc 5c 2s 9s 5h ------------------ Over on the neighbouring table... John Conroy has doubled up with Ahrt 7h outdoing the Ks Kd of an understandably disgruntled Ross Boatman. Ace hit the Flop. 65k pot puts Boatman down to 85-90k. ------------------ Damian Evans has also bitten the dust, his A-Q all-in preflop failing to bad beat Beever's Kings. 7-3-2-J board with an emphatic King hitting the River. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 08:39:43 PM Ash Hussain is OUT.
He raised from the button with K-J (overbet according to Paul Moss) only for Peter Evans to find A-Q on the Big Blind and move all-in. Ash called for his remanining chips and Flopped a King, but lost out to an Ace on one of the later streets. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 08:40:22 PM Huge hand finishes off the pre dinner break level -
Paul King raises under the gun to 9,000. Early-mid position Dan Carter thinks briefly, then calls. Button Alan Mclean then moves in for around 40k! Paul King, who'd originally thought he'd just been called in two spots since Alan's chips were only flirting with crossing the betting line, had a think, and then called the extra 30something000. Sneaky Dan Carter then re-raised himself all-in, another 29,500 on top of Alan's bet. Paul calls. The bloggers speculate, "AK, KK/AA and QQ/JJ." Dan Carter speculates, "AK KK and QQ." (OK he's got an advantage). Dan showed: Kc Kh Paul King showed: 9s 9c Alan Mclean showed: 2s 2c Flop: 4c 2d 4d, Turn and River 5h 7s and sneaky Dan Carter sees his giant pot get split, with 120k going to lucky Mclean while his side pot alone was 60,000. Paul King has lost the lead... Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 10:09:57 PM Ryan Fronda is OUT.
I only caught the hand as the chips were being moved into Chris Bruce's direction, so I can only assume that the hand went as follows: Ryan raised pre-flop with Sevens, Chris Bruce called from the Big Blind with J-3. Flop came 4-3-J, Chris checked, Ryan moved all-in and Chris called. Q Turn, T River. ----------------- Scott Dixon has doubled up to 80k. Kings v Queens. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 10:24:42 PM Alan Mclean's run holds as he quietly sneaks into the lead with 182,000, inflicting an outdraw on Paul Rayner to do so (knocking him out). Mclean's Ad Qd was all in preflop against Paul's Ac Kc, spiked a Queen, and now he's dangerous to everyone else on his table, and liable to gamble with them.
Elsewhere we've lost Ian Woodley - 30k is now short stacked and he moved in with Ac 9s only to be called by Aspades Qh. No hit for him, and it's to the rail... ...where he can join Nik Persaud, who'd also hit the 30k danger zone, and moved in a couple of times in fairly quick succession, uncalled at first, and then called, when he had 5-3. Oops. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 10:31:44 PM Play folds around to Ross Boatman on the button who raises it to 12k. Ganesh Rao smooth calls in the small blind whilst Thomas Grundy, in the big, moves all-in for around 40-45k.
Ross goes into the think tank and eventually smooth calls. Ganesh, who I though might have been calling with something like A-Q, also had a think or two, but finally opted for the fold. Ross showed Aspades 3s, Grundy revealed Ad Kc Board = Jh 8h Ahrt Ac Jd meaning Boatman is lucky to get away with a split pot. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 10:32:14 PM A few chip counts (got overexcited by that Mclean hand and had to run back before finishing)
Brian Johnson 147,800 (I thank him for his generous gift of Red Bull during the dinner break) Paul King 85,400 Craig Owen 74,300 Dan Carter 68,000 Reyaaz Mulla 30,000 Jac Arama 86,100 Alan Mclean 182,000 Steve Gibbons 64,100 Mark Herron 83,000 (although I hear word he may have more after winning another pot) Paul Moss 70,000 E. Bowker 156,000 Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 10:42:56 PM Looks like these are the current chip daddies:

Ace on Flop, 3 on Turn, missed 9 outs for a flush but missed. --------------- Paul Moss is also pushing up the dasies. A-9 vs. Mackay's A-K Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 10:55:46 PM Des Jonas doubles up (with a little help from a one-card flush draw...):
Three players get to see a 5h Js 7s flop - a raised pot from the 6 yellow chips lurking in the middle. Tony Dicesare checked, Bowker checked and Des Jonas checked. Turn: 9s Now Tony bets out 18,000, fold from Bowker, while Des moved in pretty quickly. It wasn't the best time to try to push Tony off the hand, as he held Kc Kh and called quickly, while Des showed Aspades Qh. River: 5s and it saved him, while putting Dicesare back below the average. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 10:57:48 PM Toni Dicesare is OUT.
Bit unlucky really, had his Kings cracked by Des Jonas's Ace Queen, River brought four to the flush. That put him down to just several k, and he departed soon after. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 11:06:15 PM are they playing down to money / final / closeing ? i presume they comming back tommrow ? They are playing until 3am (well, the end of level18) OR until the final Nine players are reached. Tomorrow will start anywhere between 2:30pm and 5pm, depending on how many they bring back. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 11:11:36 PM "crapshoot!" cries Table 3. "This is ridiculous!" exclaims Ash Pervais. "We play like this in a £20 rebuy." "Can we not pull the blinds back?" asks Brian Johnson. With blinds at 3/6k, lots of people are complaining about the structure saying that it's becoming an pre-flop all-in fest. Ian says he can't stop the clock, but they may do something about the blinds after the next level. The levels went: 600/1,200 ante 100, 800/1,600 ante 200, 1k/2k ante 200, 1,500/3,000 ante 300, 2k/4k ante 400, 3k/6k ante 600 The antes being so high and rising with every level has made the cost per round so high that everyone from the short stack to the chip leader has been complaining (RED-DOG actually predicted this exact scenario on Day One). They've decided to freeze the antes at 600 until the end of the day, and review thereafter... Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 11:15:35 PM Table 1:
Ian Herbert -- 41,000 Brian Johnson -- 50,000 Paul King -- 92,400 Craig Owen -- couldn't see Ash Pervais -- 97,300 Dan Carter -- 44,000 Jac Arama -- 76,200 Jay Patel -- 77,800 Alan McLean -- 349,000 Table 3: Joe Beevers -- 175k Mark Boulos -- ... Ed Arees -- 70k Peter Evans -- 470k Mateyboy (we think it's Ian Bowden) -- 85k Jerome Bradpiece -- ... Billy Ngo -- 90k Mark Boulos and Jerome Bradpiece have been left out because the latter eliminated the former as I was doing the chip-count, A-Q vs A-8 with a 9-9-7-J-2 board. --------------- Paul King has been dented by Patel, the latter making a move with K-5, being looked up by Paul's Queens, and hitting a King on the Turn. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 17, 2007, 11:31:33 PM Elliott Bowker escapes doom after moving in on the button with Ac 7d (for over 80k) and finding small blind Steve Gibbons more than happy to give him a spin with Qc Qs. The Ahrt popped out, and a grim-faced Steve is currently having his stack siphoned off into his opponent's stack.
Elsewhere, Peter 'The Bandit' Evans has doubled up to around a quarter mil - Kings were the holding-up hand (no more detail at present). 30 players left... the level of complaining about the antes seems to be directly proportional to the closeness to the bubble... funny that... Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 17, 2007, 11:46:55 PM Right palava now. For a while everyone thought they were playing the bubble, but I've just done a count of all the players and there's only 27!!! I pointed out there was a table of 6, when there should be four sevens. It was then that they realised that the bour was wrong and they were already in the money!!!
Therefore, it would appear as though Thomas Grundy took the bubble (Soxy just before him), leaving the following players in the money: Paul King Craig Owen Ash Pervais Dan Carter Jac Arama Patel Alan McLean Mohammed Shafiq Paul Gourlay Adam Wilkinson Elliott Bowker Steve Gibbons Mark Herron Des Jonas Joe Beevers Ed Arees Peter Evans Ian Bowden Stephen Millar Jerome Bradpiece Billy Ngo Ganesh Rau Jamie Morris John Conroy Ouday Hickary Ross Boatman Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 12:05:01 AM Double AA vs KK news now -
OK I've spoiled the surprise ending when Billy Ngo raised around 20k and found Ross Boatman moving in on the small blind for 25,700 more... Billy said, "I've got change," counting out his shrapnel before seeing his Kc Kd lose to Ross' Aspades Ac. And yet more deck-in-faceness for The Bandit whose Aces end the tournament of Stephen Millar's Kings. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 18, 2007, 12:07:52 AM Paul King is OUT.
Making his move from latish position with Ahrt 6h, Dan Carter asked for a chip count from the small blind before calling with Th Tc.

But Paul flopped the nuts as 2h Kh 3h appeared, and the Ts 8h following did nothign to improve matters. So Mr. Herron is down to just 35k, but took it very well, with a shrug and a kind of smile/wince combination. Paul now has 112k, and was shouting rather vociferously for the flush, during the flush and after the flush, which makes Mark's composure even more remarkable. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 18, 2007, 12:32:03 AM Table 1:

---------------- No slowing down here, Steve Gibbons has also departed, moving all-in with Q-Js but running into Kings. --------------- Hickary is OUT. Queens versus A-K. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 12:54:01 AM HUGE hand makes a chip leader out of Jerome Bradpiece (is it too late to tip him to win it?)
Alan Mclean limped for 8k, Jerome raised to 30k, Alan made it 60k and Jerome flat called. Curiouser and curiouser... Flop: 7h 8c Ac Alan bet out 100k, and Jerome moved in instantly. It was only another 31,800 to call, and as Alan counted out the chips Jerome flipped Ac Ad. Alan Mclean showed 3d 3h. No small set this time, and he's down to 130k or so while Jerome nears the 400,000 mark. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 01:03:36 AM Down to 21 as Mark Herron makes his last stand with 5h 6h. He found Shaf in the small blind calling with Ahrt Td, and an Ace first card out spelled the beginning of the end.
Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 01:05:25 AM Jac Arama sees a flop with Craig Owen: 9d Jc 4s and pushes in for his whole 140kish when it checks to him. Craig, despite muttering something about overpairs, calls, showing Jh Kc. "How can you call with that shit?" says deadpan Jac, showing Ks Js.
Turn and river 7-A (no flush worries) and that was that. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 18, 2007, 01:05:41 AM Appears as though the eliminations went as such:
Bubble = Chris Sokrati 27th = Paul King 26th = Stephen Millar 25th = Ed Arees 24th = Ouday Hickay 23rd = Steve Gibbons 22nd = Mark Herron Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 01:10:54 AM Jac Arama, not shy in recent minutes of getting his stack in, moves again, this time preflop with 2h 2s. He finds a caller in Raj Patel with Qs Qd.
The board: 7c 4s Jd 3d 8c so no improvement means no further for Jac - he finishes in 21st place. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 18, 2007, 01:14:16 AM Jerome Bradpiece -- 480,000
John Conroy -- 110,000 Craig Owen -- 125,000 Ash Pervais -- 65,000 Raj Patel -- 300,000 Alan McLean -- 35,000 Just as I post them, Alan McLean departs in 20th. Moving his 35k all-in with Qs Ts, he was picked off by John Conroy's Ac Kc, 5c 6s 8h 6d 8c board. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 01:27:28 AM 19th place finisher is Ash Pervais...
Ash moved in on the button, and Billy Ngo thought for a little while before putting his tournament on the line (he only just covered Ash) with Jd Js. Ash showed 6s 7c, and while a Seven appeared, a Jack did too and now there are just two tables left.

Very short, he was obliged to move on the small blind with Kh Js, and Ganesh Rao was equally obliged to call the extra 27k with 8h 8s. Ganesh sat with his back to the table as the board came down: 7c Ac 9h 7h Tc and the tables are eight apiece. Looks like the Final Nine will be reached tonight. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 01:46:10 AM Jerome Bradpiece 460,000

Joe calls his all-in from the big blind with Aces, but they are cracked by 7-5s and a 2-7-7-K-3 board. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 02:04:36 AM Paul Gourlay is OUT in 16th place, winning £2,520
Peter Evans raised in mid position (a chunkyish raise - 50k+) and Paul re-raised all in from the cutoff for a further 67k. A longer dwell from the Bandit than one might expect given he eventually called showing Qh Qd, but he found a race against Ac Kc. Flop: 7h Js 7c ("Ace, King, Jack," chants Paul, quietly, even though the latter doesn't help) Turn: 6d River: 7d And another 200k drifts into Peter's stack, lifting him to chip leader status once more above Jerome. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 02:22:14 AM Slight slowdown now (honestly, for the first time ever, I am grateful for this). Jerome gets a "thoroughly deserved" walk in the big blind (blinds now 10k/20k ante 600 so that's nice).
Approximate chip counts from Table Bandit (he has red chips. 20k each. First time I've seen those make an appearance before a final...or in fact at all) Shaf 410k Joe Beevers 176k Adam Wilkinson 225k Elliott Bowker 90k Dan Carter 210k Des Jonas 180k Peter Evans 600k And the other table...

Knocked to what looked like the point of no return with that KK vs AA hand earlier, he just shrugged and carried on, picking his spots and generally being quite good.
In the last ten minutes someone looks to have spiked his water with ProPlus or something, or unrevoked his chat ban, as he's been talking it up on his new table. Just now there was a four-way limp pot seeing Qh 9s 5s. The blinds checked to Billy, who bet out 20k. Jerome on the button dwelled for a bit and passed. "oooh, you got no balls," jumps in Ngo, "Come on, raise me all in," he attacks the blinds, "I'll call, I promise..." No joy and he shows the Ks, then continues to mutter to himself about how he should have checked and let Jerome bet... Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 02:34:13 AM Craig Owen finishes in 15th place, winning £2,880
He saw a K-5-2 flop with Jerome Bradpiece, and when Jerome bet out 30k he moved himself all-in (44k). Jerome called with T-T, found Craig with A-Q and the pair stood up. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 18, 2007, 02:48:49 AM Current chip counts:

Rest of the Flop... Jd Jc Turn = 8d River = Ks Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on February 18, 2007, 03:06:46 AM John 'PunkFloyd' Conroy has doubled up.
Battle of the blinds, all-in preflop. John = 9s Jd Chris Bruce = Ad Ks Board = 4h Ts 9c Th 7s Conroy now up to 180k. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 03:07:04 AM The Hour of the Resteal is Upon us -
John Conroy makes it 33k to go in late position, and Billy Ngo looks at his cards, announces "raise," and some other stuff, but John kind of cuts him off before he can really get going, "I pass I pass..." Billy shows Ad Ks. "I never doubted you," said stealer John. For some reason Chris Bruce decides to tell everyone that he passed A-J to John's initial raise, adding, "I'm not going out with A-J." Fascinating. Then Joe Beevers makes it 37k to go (other table) from the cutoff, and Adam Wilkinson pushes in for another 51,600. They stare at each other a bit, then Adam does a kind of shrug thing, and that clearly made up Joe's mind to pass. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 03:24:13 AM Chris Bruce (who's clearly not a big fan of Billy, and his lightning-speed, low volume chat) just got more than half his chips thusly:
Chris, now short and in all probability tilting like the Leaning Tower, shoved in on the cutoff for just over 100k. Billy the Kid on the small blind had a decision. It seems like he wasn't giving Chris' raising range all that much respect - to be fair he was now short stacked... He thought for a bit, mumbled, "I might have you beat." "Call then," replied Chris. Billy counted out the call, and slowly self-counted what he'd have left (70k or so). "I'll get my coat," offered Chris. "Call." Billy showed Ac Qd Chris showed 3h 3c Flop: 4s 7s 2s Turn: 8c River: 3s "I thought you might push with any weaker Ace," comments Billy. "Well you didn't think about it too cleverly," replies Chris sharply, "You couldn't wait to get your chips in," thus delivering both a rubdown and version of events that must have taken place in a parallel universe. Sensing that somewhere he might have just made himself look bad, and his opponent better, he then instantly backtracks, "Well it's true I would have shoved there with Q-K etc. It's a tough one with A-Q." Magnanimous in victory (on the second take) I dread to think what he would have done if he'd been outdrawn. Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 03:40:01 AM The outdraw saga continues in the final 10 minutes of the day (the most recent episode of which started with John Conroy's J9 sneak out of jail against the unlucky AK of Chris Bruce) as Billy Ngo makes his Button double-up-or-bust move with any two.
They were: Kd 8s called by big blind Ian Bowden with Ahrt 4s. The flop and turn changed nothing except giving Ian a pair of Fours, but the 8h on the river brought a stack-crushing blow to Ian and brought Billy back to life. Again. The next hand it was autoallin on the small blind for Ian, and Jerome said, "That's a call," as he put in the extra 30k having woken up with Ahrt Ac. Ian had 7d 9h, and although the first card out was the 7s, he was not to be granted the escape some of his tablemates have had, and goodnaturedly gave up the ghost. So Ian Bowden finishes in 13th place, winning £2,880 Title: Re: Walsall GukPT Day Two - At A Glance Post by: Djinn on February 18, 2007, 04:01:52 AM They're already bagged and tagged, and by a process of looking over the cardroom supervisor's shoulder, we have them for you already:

It's never sounded so ominous when the computer voice comes on at the end of the level and says, "Poker players. There will now be a short break." |
