One man down, JP Kelly has left the field.    Stuart Smith plays his straight superbly and gets JP to call his overbet on the end....  Landing Stuart a pot of 50k   :o

Hey Tony,

Thanks for that, passing your message on to him. He said to tell you he's currenlty sitting on 76k ....  you should have stayed, help me cheer him on  :)

Claire

Typical Ali  :D

Micky Wernick on the move, he has 45k. Just landed AA , a whopping 3 times already today !!! 

Rumit needs a hand badly ......  he's down to 4k.....    can the poker Gods help him out ?? 

Good Luck Rumit  

NNNNOOOOO, the Poker God mustn't have heard him shout...... Rumit leaves the field in 42nd place  :(

Tikay has just noticed that we have another one of the Notts guys playing in the field. C Michael is one of the Costa Clan, and Stu Smith, Greg Hill and Greek Jack ......   Go Notts !! Go Notts !!

Ali Mulla has just left in 41st place, Ali held AK and walked straight into AA ....

Unlucky Ali.

The Costa Clan includes Pete Costa and Kim, his handsome and charismatic brother .......

Trevor Reardon has just left...... Unlcuky Big Trev

Just broke another table up, now down to 4 tables .

It was Greek Jack from Notts that knocked out Ali Mallu.

Hello again and thank you Mrs Doc  ;)

Carlo has just dropped down to 16k   :(...... can he build it back up ??  Good luck Carlo

i dont understand what the fasination is with notts ? !?! lol

When those lacey boys get excited about notts, its really the sailor boy fantasy they have, and they are really talking about KNOTS :)

Another man down, he's up from the table and out the door before the next hand is shuffled .......  the playing continues !

James Browning, he reraised with KK and C. Michael from Notts, re-rereaised with AT off and 4 flushed it..... Unlucky james...

And another .... Dan Samson leaves the field  :(

Tikay says .... HUSH now you Blackpool boys  :)

Any news on Kevin Conway?

Tikay getting chip count and runner.... bear with us!!

Hi Tikay and all the other Blondites. I have just skipped through all the updates since it began yesterday, excellent stuff. I have also enjoyed some of the recent tourney reports. Hopefully one day i can be out there playing! Keep up the good work!

Mrs Doc in the Media Centre looking hard at work !!  

[attachment deleted by admin]

Lovejoy was on 32k.... he just ran into Ben Grundy who had AA and also flopped the 3rd A.... Lovejoys drops down to 20k..

Would like Smokin to do well too...

 Any news of Nouri?

Tom McCready STILL has 10k .... !!    He has battled his heart out for the past 2 days without any cards or luck. But he refuses to give up !

Go Tom !!

Bad Beat,

Tikay just checked and says Nouri has 20k.

 Thanks.

K. Kalatyadid is sitting on 75k from being the overnight chip leader, We cant loose him, he's sporting a huge logo on the back of his t-shirt saying " Team Sporting Odds Poker.Com" not that we know who's backing him ... ;)

another man down, the fields getting smaller....

Told you to keep watching, Carlo is BACK in the game !!

He has grafted and stole his way back up to a amazing 40k - which may we point out is average stack  :)

Who was the 'another man down'?

another man isn't down sorry, hes moved table, ooppss !!

But there is NOW, Nouri is OUT.

He had K-9, & clearly thought his Scandinavian opponent was at it, but the Scandie had TT.

Good Effort by N Nouri, but he's history now.......

The only remaing ladies in the field - Tina Jordan, & William Hill's Xuyen Bad Girl Pham -  are still sat next to each other, & both have around 50k. Both are behaving at the moment........

Is Stuart Smith still going strong?

Don't worry about if it's incovenient.  :)

I'll pop & see how Stuart is doing in a mo........

Was the scandi Mistereggen?

Cheers Tony. Top man.  8)

Hi Tikay , can you wish Micky Wernick the best of luck.

No, it was not Mistereggen, it was another guy, I'll try & find his name for you in a minute.......

Yup, I'll pass that on to Micky, soon as he wakes up.........

there any notts boys left in ???  :)

The Scandinavian gentleman is called Andreas, he is a dark-haired, good looking young man, about 12 years old, & he comes from Sweden. I think Sweden is either in Norway, or near it, or Norway owns it, but I could be wrong........

i wouldnt say norway owns it to a sweede lol

Notts boy's still in? Yeah, LOADS of 'em, they are dominating the comp......

C. Michael, who is Kim Costa's sister (or Uncle), Kim is Pete Costa's handsome brother. Mr Michael has 50k-ish.

Greg Junior Hill is gradually getting into move mode, he's up to 30k & looking dangerous, he can be unplayable at this stage of the comp.

Greek Jack is sat quietly with 70k.

And Stuart Smith has about 25k.

Thanks for an enjoyable update, as funny as ever. The photos yesterday bought it more alive. One day I am going to have to get out of the small events and take my chances with the big boys. As an ex Nottingham resident living in London I wish all the best to those from the Queen of the Midlands!

Bad news, Tom Red Dog McCready's brave fight is over, & an ugly exit it was too. He had AQ, Matey Boy had QJ, first card J.......

Great effort Tom, your turn will come soon.

How many left overall?  :)

Don't say we did not warn you - Greg Hill is on the march. He makes a move on poor Tina Jordan, who had KK, Greg was at it with AA, it stands up, & now these guys have a BIG problem, Greg is sitting pretty with 60k+, and he's ready to strut his stuff.

But a shame for Tina, who is down to about 10 or 15k......

We have got some more pics ready to upload, but it's hotting up here, so they will have to wait a minute......

Smokin Steve Vladar gets hit by a shocker. He has QQ, Jeff Rogers has A-9, it comes 9-9-x-x-A.

Hard to bear Steve, you did nothing wrong. Steve is still in, but he's badly wounded.

Tikay, I know you are busy but when you get a chance can you say a HUGE "good luck" to Kevin Conway from Ali, Neil, Paul and Mark (he knows us all from MK Poker).  let him know we are watching his progress.

Also, if it's not too much trouble  :-* can you say good luck to Kevin O'Leary from ME ONLY  ;D

Cheers m8

Ali

Another shocker....overnight chip leader K Kalatyadid is OUT.

And what an exit!

He is in SB with KQ, Micky Wernick in BB wakes up to find AK & puts a big R in, matey boy calls. K first card, you can work the rest out....!

And the in-form Micky suddenly has.....80k+.....!

Tell you what, they are nailed to the table, he won't give THEM away easily......

Leave it with me Ali........is there something we should know about you & Lovejoy, eh?........

Nothing THAT interesting, we just go back a long way is all.  He's one of the good guys and he deserves to do well.

Ali

trevor here ....big TR back home now, is Paul Jackson and Micky Wernick still in, if so how many chips.  thx

We will do Paul Jackson in a mo, and we have just given Micky Wernick.

But good news for Smokin Steve, he still has 41k & was not too badly wounded by the QQ v A-9 affair with Jeff Rogers. Jeff was short-stacked, so his A-9 musta looked HUGE. Well it did after the flop.......

Messages duly passed to the two Kevins. Lovejoy said "has she got that tenner she owes me yet?....."

What a Man GO CARLO!! GO CARLO!! GO GO GO  ;D

Denis O'Mahoney has suddenly shot to the front of the field, or nearly so - he has an awesome 85k. He just put a really beautiful bluff on Ben Grundy, poor Ben did not know if he was having a ****, shave or haircut......

Ben will soon recover, but watch Denis now - he WILL Final, mark my words, & will nearly win this beauty......

Oh, & Mrs O'Mahoney - Denis hopes he will be very late home tonight....!

LMFAO, next time you pass his table tell him that if he wants it he has to come get it

Ali

How is Luke Smith doing?

Any news on Stuart Smith Tony?

I can't seem to get a text from him. I hope that's a good sign.

Jeff Rogers is OUT...!

He and the young gun Luke Smith BOTH had AK suited, but the younger man caught his flush, & Jeff is on his way home to Aldenham, good effort Jeff, unlucky.

Tough game this - Luke Smith has 91k, & Jeff is rueing his luck.

When is the next Chip count due? ???

Hi Tony,

Lukes doing fantastic, seems to be keeping his cool - unlike the nerves wreck of a Mrs I am  ;)

92k and still rocking and rolling .... GOT YA !!

How many left in now Mrs Doc?  :)

Mistereggen has just left the field having QQ and coming up against Smokin Steve Vladar who was holding the big AA........ result is as they say 'History'

23 player remaining :)

Hi Dex, 23 remaining and Carlo still going strong  :)

Snoopy,

Stu Smith has rocketed to a whopping 85k.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO      On mY 10%

Lunch break soon and a chip count will follow shortly ... Tikay doing the rounds ;)

  8)NEWS FLASH  The Doc 12345 - Luke Smith has just smashed his way through the 100k barrier.

Thanks Skalie - passing it on  ;D

Action Jack and Carlo are both grinding away with 25k ...... Come on boys !!

Bad Girl is sitting on a comfortable 50k  :D and partner Smokin Steve is also comfortable in 55k, so would be nice to see the two of William Hill Team in the final.

Good Luck

GG Mistereggen. 4th friday and almost in the money today! WP!

Is Greek Jack still in ?.... if so can we get a chip count please

NNNOOOOOO !!!

Carlo is OUT !!  Carlo had QT and Paul Parker held TT - flop came TQ rag - Paul won with the set.

Unlucky Carlo.

Andreas swedish guy from Norway is currenlty sitting on 50k

Only 22 players  left in the field..  :)

Greek Jack has 90k and is doing fine  :)

You guys are kidding about the "swedish from Norway"-thing I hope?

Well, I'd be suprised if Greek Jack is from Greece.  ;D

Tikay says is Sweden not in Norway? ;D

When we get down to 20 players  the average stack will be about 60k.

Greek Jack's not from Greece he's from Norway silly !

No - you're thinking of Norwegian Jack.  8)

Nope that's Sven the Sweede

on a serious note can someone tell me what the blinds are at now please ?

Well I know Nottingham Nick is not from Nottingham.......but his wife IS.

Talking of Notts, Stu Smith just took a huge pot from Notts ally C Michael. Stu must be nearly chip leader.....

OK puh, thought for a minute you had some funny thoughts about Norway and Sweden. Y'all know we have polarbears walking in the streets of our cities, right?

I thought it was English only in the cardroom?

That's what I heard VingeFaan.........

Sorry about our sense of humour fella, we are kiknda weird. WHOOSH..........

only thing i know about Sweden and Norway is that you need to win a main event just to afford a round of drinks !!!! 

Great Coverage!  Home now and no regrets.  How is my mate Denis doing?  Thanks.
 
                                                      Rumit.

dave Carlton just got knocked out by Micky Wernick .... Dave had JJ and Micky had AQ - A flopped, Micky is in the 100k+ territory.

Good luck Micky.

Mrs. Doc - great humour! :)

Colchester - Thats true! Especially Norway! Sweden is where norwegians go shopping!

Hi Rumit,

Denis O'Mahoney is in cruise mood with 85k.

GG Rumit.

How come Ikea's so cheap then?
 ???

Has Micky cracked a smile yet or was it wind?

What time is the break, I need to shoot out on an errand and don't want to miss anything.

unlucky rumit, good luck to nottingham stu, greek jack, irish denis, mansfield junior, ol smokie & my last 5%, go badgirl!
good work tikay - you got yourself a new secretary or wot?

Cmon Stu!!!

Dinner break in 15 minutes for 45 minutes.

Still just over the 20 players left ..... heading for a long night !!

It's hotting up in here ;)

The M ilky Bar Kid has gone out  :(

Hi Julian,

Heard you got unlucky with KK losing to a flush yesterday. I was short-stacked throughout, eventually lost a coin flip to Irish Dennis this arvo.

How did Ben go out?

Ben Grundy went All-in  in first position with JT a total of 23K, the Button flat calls.... Denis O'Mahoney in BB dwells on it and passes QQ !!  Leaving JT vs the Button AJ.......  AJ holds up with an extra A and Ben Grundy leaves the field. :(

The games continues ....

I see one of "Tikay's Angels" has taught him how to colour in lol

What a pass that was by Denis.. :D

Kevin O'Leary is putting up a real fight - lets hope he goes all the way.     Kevin took Charlie Kleanthous out with JJ vs TT and kevins JJ hold up  ;)

Great for people who are colour blind

Down to 20

Breaking the tables down now to the last three tables ......Lunch break now back in 45 minutes to commence game ;D

Come on Smithy  :)

Tikay, is Paul Jackson still in?  If so tell him good luck.
Thanx

Just to clarify the tables, we are down to 19 players on 3 tables.

OK, here's a right little story for you......

ActionJack is down to 12k, Blinds are going to be 2k-4k when they return, & Paul is facing the bubble.


Now, he is gonna be on the BB, so........,

As soon as the cards are dealt, but BEFORE the UTG guy acts, he is going to move all his chips in.....! That's a bet out of turn, but it WILL stand, & nobody is gonna take advantage of his low stack by stealing.....

Tips from the pros, eh?

Just in case Mrs Doc gets in trub, those last 3 posts were by the 'ol fella.

Not sure about the ethics of raising out of turn regardless of how small your stack is at the time.

I will pass your comments on to Mr Jackson.......

What do you think Tikay ?

I spoke to Paul about this. He said "what are ethics?"..........

Fair enough.. tell him it's just north of Kent

Damn internet players eh? Tikay,
They will never get the hang of this live game    , ;D

Colchethter ith in ethics  ;D

paul said if that was a typo then do u mean that ethics is the belly button

Obviously not, luckily I play live as well as I waste my money on the net and have a better record at real tables.

blatant betting out of turn should be penalised - another reason to get some standardised rules into the game.
ul ben & i forgot to add lovejoy to my final table wish list

Thank goodness for that, I thought I was in a minority of one.

betting out of turn is penalised , blatent or otherwise . The penalty is ......... the bet stands

tsk, tsk tk, remind me to slap you around the the chops tomorrow evening

Thank you Julian.

The previous post was written in my absence by a certain Mr Jackson......!

So slap HIS chops, eh?

Keep it up Stu!  :o

i'm sure it was a genuine mistake eh actionjack?
this is the problem when internet newbies try to cross over to live play... ::)

Keep digging JT......

OK, lets go & watch ActionJack do his planned Moody......

that was CLASSIC.....

Paul goes "12k, all-in", out of turn.

Alan McLean's face is a picture, sorta "wtf?"..........

But THEN the weirdest thing happen. Paul Parker is next to act, and he's.....SPEECHLESS! Got that? Paul Parker speechless!!!

Eventually, he recovers his composure & seeks a ruling.

Ruling is (here's a beauty), it is ruled as a MOODY, NOT a bet out of turn. Penalty? Bet does NOT go......

And Paul Parker eventually takes the hand, but Paul Jackson is still in.

Okay guys there has been a slight change to the prize pool .....   

We are currently down to 19 Players, all these players have agreed that 1000 can be taken off 1st prize of 44800, taken it down to 43800, leaving player 19 taken home 1000.  :)

good ruling

We've just lost yet another player, down to 18 players now !!

As they arrange the tables for the final 18 players Mr Paul 'Action Jack' Jackson collects his prize for 19th a total of 1000.

Tables have been reset and sitting next to one another are the Mr and Mrs of Williamhill - Bad Girl and Smokin Steve.....

Let the game commence and the fun begin. Good Luck all  ;)

 Don't understand. If Paul Parker had a hand why didn't he let the blind all-in stand? Also was Action Jackson allowed to take his bet back after it crossed the line because Paul P had raised?

Chip count and seating is......  Table 1.......

Alan Mclean 100k
The Doc 12345 - Luke Smith 80k
Paul Parker 37k
Greek Jack 56k
Andreas 60k
C. Michael 58k

Player 18 out ... Greg Hill collects 1000.

GG Greg, WP  :)

Chip count and seating - Table 2....

Bad Girl 45k
Smokin Steve 52k
Stu Smith 110k
Micky Wernick 140k
Denis O'Mahoney 80k
Kevin O'Leary 55k
Time Jordan 30k
Kevin Conway 70k

can you tell Micky Wernick......good luck from TR

pass on best of luck to paul parker please.

cheeers

clive w

Right, let's clarify what happened in the ActionJack hand for BadBeat......

Paul Jackson's bet was NOT alllowed to stand, therefore Paul Parker WAS allowed to limp. He wanted to limp cos he did NOT have a hand. See? So Paul Parker gets to limp, so now Paul Jackson just checks. They both check the flop, PJ checks the 2-3-4-5 (3 diamonds) turn & PP BETS now. PJ passes....

Right, the NEXT post will be by ActionJack himself.........

the next hand , having folded to PP s bet i tripled up to 24K . Then on next BB had J8 flop is J56 ( 2 clubs) alan mclean , who had limped, bets after i check , i move allin and he calls with 78 clubs in now 50K pot . he hits flush i am out , serves me right .
for julian , this internet newbie , ne to the live game , was in fact playing live poker in casinos at the same time as you had to lie about your age to get in .

OK, I have thrown the newbie out of the Press Centre for being rude to the hapless Julian.

 Why would you want to limp with no hand if the other bloke has "said" he's going all-in blind. However, if AJ bet is now not allowed to stand I guess he must think PP must have a big hand to limp in this spot.

Tina Jordan is OUT......

Tina has 66, Micky Wernick had KJ, the J hit the flop & Tina is out.

Great effort by the refined & dignified Tina.....

Tina Jordan is OUT......

Tina has 66, Micky Wernick had KJ, the J hit the flop & Tina is out.

Great effort by the refined & dignified Tina.....

I BELIEVE YOU PAUL!

Correct BadBeat. Paul P maybe had a small pair or weak A, but did not wanna commit 12k in case someone behind him moved in to nick AJ's blinds. And once PP WAS in, AJ can't now steal or bet, unless he has a biggie. In effect, the Moody Ruling solved the problem.

Right, back to the game.......

ul chap, well played

Smokin Steve dodges a bullet. He passes to Micky Wernick's RR, Micky showing AA. And what did Smokin Steve pass? JJ, no less. Class Pass Steve........

But Bad Girl does NOT, she stands firm with A-T but runs in to A-K.

Bad Girl is OUT 16th.

It was Kevin Conway who busted the William Hill beauty.

Xuyen gets 1,000, she deserves more, but a great effort.

William Hill are relying on Smokin Steve to do the business now......

Any news on Kevin "AAplz"" Conway


Many Thanks

Shelly and Pete

Thanx TK must have crossed in the post ;D

Kevin Conway seems to have about 130k. Average for the Final will be about that (9 seat jobbie) so he's in pretty good shape. He has good tempo, & a nice table image, but I don't know anything about the young gentleman. Seems very pleasant though.......

Where's Ironside with his predictions?

Who do you think will win it Tikay?

I would like to see Smokin Steve take it, otherwise Kevin O'Leary or Irish Dennis. Keep the money in Luton!!

No action from Stu, Tony?

Ironside ain't too well, & we miss him greatly.

Prediction to win it? Let's wait until we see a Final line up........

Stu Smith (Notts) has about 140k.

Hows my 10% lookin tony

Question for redimp........Does AAplz play on VC?

Smokin Steve does NOT dodge this bullet though, he moved in with KQ, but Denis O'Mahoney had KK........

Smokin Steve is OUT........

Great attempt Steve, unlucky mate.

Denis o'Mahoney has 100k.

There are FOURTEEN runners left.......

Counts on the way......

Yes he does, quality bloke and player to boot ;D

Greek Jack 28k

C Michael, 43k

????, 94k

Anon (name with-held) 100k

Alan McLean 32k

Luton Young Gun, 46k

Paul Parker 60k

Hi redimp...i wish AAplz the best of luck, i have played a lot of $25 SnG's with him

gooooooooooooooooooo  on pp!

Have i missed something, is Luke still in?

Denis O'Mahoney follows his KK with AA, & he gets paid again, when Kevin Conway moves in on him with JJ.

Denis is our new Chip Leader, he has over 200k I'd say, & poor Kevin has taken a hit.......

Hi Ant,in contact with him on the breaks will pass on your best wishes

Luke Smith is still in, I have not finished doing the chip counts yet, so much is happening.....

MONSTER hand next......

Alan McLean has QQ, Luton Young Gun also has QQ, & Steve, the gentleman with the voice box, has AK.

The K hits, & Luton Young Gun is out, & Alan has  been wounded, so Steve has about 200k.

JJ the route of all evil :'(

Jack Ten is Jack's demise......

Greek Jack calls a 55k bet by Paul Parker, who has 2-2. Greek Jack has J-T, & misses. He's badly wounded, & exits to Alan McLean very next hand.

how many chips do the parker/citrone duo have please  tony??

cheers

Jimmy Alp just came up to me & said he watched me on Poker 425 last night. "You were fantastic Tikay, I laughed, you are a great comedian".

Comedian? Eh?

The Paul Parker / Carlo Citrone due have 80k, of which Paul Parker has about, err, 80k.

Carlo has been home since teatime. Pay attention portfolio!

Jimmy is a good judge......TK I travel 2000 miles and turn the pc on to witness the Posh and Becks of poker going out.....I am a jinx.....

I see Kim Costa (Pete's handsome brother) has tuned in, so C Michael has 85k. Kim, what is C. Michael's first name?

Sorry Bobby. Timing, eh?

But they both did great, & behaved impeccably, as you would expect of the William Hill crew. Julian was terribly unlucky too, his KK busted by The Camel's K-T......

hi tony

his name is carlos

kim

Thank you Kim.

Carlos has played just great today.

Is he related to you? I said earlier he was your sister-in-law, but I could be wrong......

carlos costa

and he is not my sister,auntie,uncle but...wait for it

my wifes first cousin

hi kim, hi bobby

Shut it Thewy. Too late, Kim sorted it already.....

Timing is what its all about and mine is clearly terrible...this is going to be a great final.

Unlucky yesterday with those kings Julian.

Yeah Kim, that's what I said - your sister-in-law.......

OK, back to business, we have an all-in, then a full chip count of the last 12 players.....

Mrs Doc grab likes phone and switch it on

by the way tony you have cost me some dosh tonight

cause you kept me away from nottingham,being glued to your great commentary.

just great live report.

keep up the good work

Tony, I am going to watch channel 425 at 11 to see what you look like...I have heard its a good show.

Kevin Conway, 105k

Carlos Michael, 75k

Steve Bovis 210k

Name With-Held 105k

Alan McLean, 80k

Paul Parker, 80k

Hi Tony,

Can u tell me what the prize money is?

Skalie,

Luke's battery is flat, so we have given him Paul Jackson's phone. You can sort it from there......

Page 2 1st thread

i think alan mclean could go deep

There you go Midge, see snoopy's reply.....

OK, AN ALL-IN HAS DEVELOPED.....

thanks snoopy

Tell me stuart Smith has just double up...

Andreas is all-in with AJ v Stu Smith's AK. Board comes 6-8-2-6-8, & Andreas, the polite Norweigan/Swede, gets up to leave. Dealer pushes pot towards Stu, when suddenly there comes the cry......

SPLIT POT.

And Andreas returns to the table, a VERY happy man.....

Copied because I has nothing better to do

"Prize Pool 121k

1st - 44.8K
2nd - 22.4K
3rd - 14K
4th - 9.5K
5th - 6.7K
6th 4.48K
7th - 3.9K
8th - 3.4K
9th 2.8K

10th - 18th 1K"

However I think 1k taken off winnner's to make a further 1k for 19th

way to jinx it snoop...

almost

Carlos Michael has about 70k. Hev is a fine-looking man, has a touch of the Cypriot look about him......

How many left Tikay?

Amusingly Julian, Stuart never gets anywhere when we're in the same tournament. I aaaaaaaalways jinx him.

I did it via the Intenet this time.  :P

Maybe I should hush up.  ;D

Kevin Lovejoy O'Leary has aboiut 110k, but he's in a big pot right now.......

hehe, i seem to remember you jinxing me once or twice

I knew I had a gift somehwere... :-\

Andreas, the lovely Norweigan lad, is OUT.......

Kevin O'Leary had been at it & had R'd with K-3 clubs, Andreas moved in for 20k more with A-Q clubs, & Kevin, to his horror, found himself obliged to call for the odds.

First card K, the rest ALL black, but spades, & Andreas is OUT.....

How many left Tony?

Paul Parker & Kevin Conway clash in the blinds.....

No action pre-flop....

Paul has 44, Kevin has 8-9.....

Flop is 6-8-2, ch ch, turn 4, PP checks, Kevin bets 30k, PP moves all-in for 71k with his set, Kevin calls with his top pair, but is drawing dead now.

Kevin is down to a dismal 6k, & Paul Parker has 150k.

Paul has resumed talking now......

just managed to kick my hubby of the pc, good luck AAplz xx
love shelly xx ;)

But Kevin REFUSES to exit, & trebles up next hand!

There are ELEVEN players left......

Cmon Stu - All the way son.

Nice one Kevin!

And special thanks to ActionJack, who has become my lacky for the last 30 minutes, getting me chip counts & hand details.

It's his punishment for being naughty earlier when he had the Moody Ruling against him....

He asks if Julian has forgiven him yet? Please.......

go APPLES still do/ able hunny ;)

lil ol me?
tell him i owe him one big hug.
do us a favour tk, give him a hug on my behalf

Players on a 5 minute break now.

It's 11pm, there are 11 players left, blinds will be 4k-8k for the next hour.

There are 1,210,000 chips in play, & it will be a 9 man Final.

So,the question is, what time you guys reckon we gonna finish?

how is the doc doing

Nah, you sort your own probs Thewy. You upset me over that Belfast Hotel business, sa I ain't solving any more of your probs.

Looks like a late one for sure - hopefully the blinds won't get prohibitive as they did on Friday.

Sheriff

Hello Tony et al

3.30am my guess with deal done 5 handed

Fantastic job by all although getting ear ache from Mrs G who wants me to drive her nack up to Luton to give you a hand !!!!!

Unlucky AJ - just can't get those ladies when u need them

hugs all around by the sound of it

Right, CHIP COUNTS, table 1 first......

Paul Parker, 129k

Alan McLean, 144k

Anon, 55k

Kevin Conway, 15k

Steve Bovis 186k

Carlos Michael, 68k

Micky Wernick 155k

Denis o'Mahoney, 102k

Stuart Smith, 163k

Kevin Lovejoy O'Leary, 131k

Luke Smith, 64k

Is there a cut off time as there could have been in the Vic, for the 1500, recently?

Sheriff Fatman and The Sheriff.

Is this forum big enuff for two Sheriffs???

No idea Robert, The Sheriff seems about right I'd say....

And thanks to Mrs & Mrs Sheriff for all their help, Claire too, & ActionJack, & Rhowena, you are ALL lovely. Except ActionJack. Play still on break, whilst they colour up......then we go non-stop to the Final.....

Right, they are OFF again, & two poor guys ain't gonna final.......

Wow, PROPER POKER now....

Kevin O'Leary raises to 25k. Micky Wernick ReRaises to 100k, setting Kevin O'Leary all-in.

Kevin gives it a HUGE dwell, then passes.

Micks shows the bluff - 7-2 ......and says "that's for that earlier bluff you put on me with 9-2, but mine is better. It's been niggling me ever since, but we are square now. OK?"......

I blame Action Jack for that Micky Wernick bluff. Paul bought Micky a Double Brandy in the break, Micky told him the O'Leary bluff was troubling him, & they must have jointly decided to repay the debt...

Cunning buggers, these old boys, eh?

Absolute quality lol  7-2  a proper nottingham hand !!!
was it suited lol

Carlos Michael takes a 110k pot with AK v Anon's 44, two Aces on the flop do the trick, & anon is down to single figures.......

Kevin Conway has gone, so has Anon, so we HAVE A FINAL......

Chip Counts & seat positions will follow shortly......

So the Final will start at about 11.45/11.50.

come on smithy  :)

Kev we are so proud of you so well done hunny go apples xxxxxxxxxxxx ;)

poker in europe s payout list is topped by a pic of paul parker already!!!!!!!!

must be an omen !!!!

PLEASE send pp  good wishes for final tony

regards

clive w

unlucky kevin - you played a blinder

Hi tikay, thank you for looking after Tom and for keeping me up to speed over the last couple of days, it must be hard work for a man of your advanced years.

By the way if you ever want to sample my cooking, please feel free to pop in anytime, I sure I can puree something for you. regards, Muzelley

All of the lads n lasses at MK Poker will be chuffed to hear Kev has done so well.

Nice one mate, keep the hat too.

A word of thanks for all of the kind words of support this week. I am so sorry that I couldn't pull off the main event. I put up the best fight I could. My tip is for Paul Parker to go all the way!!!

Question for anyone? Where and when are the upcoming festivals in uk, need to finalise free time!

Thank you Mrs Dog. Your husband is a very brave man, & you should be very proud of him.

Blackpool starts on 3rd Ma. I have never been before but i hear it is excellent! And i'm out to get Ali Maliu HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE

Thanks Carlo, the Final will lack a little colour (but be a lot quicker...) for your absence.....You had to fight the cards for a day & a half, & did a great job, & Sam & Dex added greatly to our fun. And don't forget you won the 500 comp - Carlo's Comeback, eh?

sorry carlo, the notts HU is team is full, but i hear the blackpool lot are looking for ringers.
cu there

THANKS TIKAY, BUT AS YOU KNOW THE SECOND BIGGEST EVENT AT ANY FESTIVAL IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MAIN EVENT. MAIN EVENTS ARE THE ONES THAT COUNT.

IF Paul Jackson is still there tell him to call me

Final Chip counts, in seat order.......

Steve Bovis, 189k

Luke Smith, The Doc 12345, 56k

Denis O'Mahoney, 78k

Stuart Smith, 183k

Alan McLean, 187k

Kevin O'Leary, 104k

Carlos Michael, 119k

Paul Parker, 103k

Micky Wernick, 194k

So, WHO'S GONNA WIN?

Who of the final table was previously known as ANON?

as i said earlier, i think alan mclean will take this, lets just hope i haven't "Ironsided" him ;)

Anon did not make the Final.

PAUL PARKER,I HOPE HOWEVER ALAN MCLEAN IS LIKE A FLY YOU CAN'T SWOT!! HE GAVE ME SOME PROBLEMS TODAY. HE COULD BE A REAL THREAT BECAUSE WHEN HE HAS CHIPS HE LOVES TO RE-RAISE. IF PAUL FINDS THE HAND HE WILL TAKE A BIG CHUNK OUT OF HIM IN ONE POT.

thedoc will win it

The Finalists are being introduced to the crowd, roar roar, clap clap, the railbirds are cramming the place, the TV cameras are all set up, Paul Parker is taking nineteen to the dozen, & all is well with the world. And they are OFF!

Good Luck to every one of them!

ONE THING IS FOR SURE........it ain't going to be me!!!! >:(

Especially Stu Smith

And they have reset the blinds to 3k-6k, for the next hour. Good Decision!

alan's got the game to win it, but i also reckon stu, formerly from notts will be there at crunch time

what channel or show are the cameras from?

Poker 425, Sky Channel 425, every night at 11pm, 7 nights a week. The Luton Episode will first air on Wednesday, & will repeat the next 6 nights.....

Here here Julian.

Stu all the way.

go micky!!!
fella's on fire, unstoppable, unshakable and a nice guy to boot!
ian

It's all Raise & Pass stuff right now.

If Thewy was here he'd been hoovering the table........

sshh now tk, i've tightened up recently, i blame carlo

Tikay, whats the story with the constantly revolving anchor on your TV show?

Action at the Final Table......

[attachment deleted by admin]

It's not the anchorman LuckyBlind, the problem is the comedian they have to work with....

Johny Gould will be back this week, alternating with Dave Compton.

And more.......

[attachment deleted by admin]

And one more......

[attachment deleted by admin]

Ahhh, Mr Smith is who i thought he was, very nice bloke, had a chat with him in a Lenton kebab shop once. I wish him good luck.

Was it the Kebab behind the bus stop?

 ;D

And Methusalah......

[attachment deleted by admin]

yeeehaaaa, excitng stuff tikay, keep it up m8, Im here untill the fat lady sings!

btw, I think mrs red has fallen for your well hidden charms, she keeps asking me questions about you!

It was the almighty Tuminose  ;)

But now they begin to play, & the Wily Old Worm shows his class.

He and Carlos get it on, with a board that is all hearts. Micky tickle bets every street, & Carlos calls every street, but passes on the River when Micky bets another 45k

Micky turns over trip fours - but it's a pure bluff, as he is playing the ALL HEART board....!

PROPER POKER.....

ah - opposite the peacock

But Alan McLean shows his class now, & he chooses Micky Wernick as his victim. Alan raises, Micky Reraises, Alan moves all-in, & Micky passes, showing, would you believe, QQ.......

Great pass, or did he fall for the old McLean one-two?

Tony - nice to see you sneaked into a photo  :D

Make sure Stu gets a shout from me.

Gotta be said, we have seen some lovely poker in the last hour.

And ActionJack reckons that when Micky Wernick laid down his QQ, Alan McLean said afterwards that he had AA.......

But I guess he would say that.......

i can't pass QQ against alan...it's impossible

And if they carry on with this showboating, it's gonna end in tears for someone, that's for sure........

I agree Julian, but even at-it merchants find the Aces sometimes. But no, I could not pass QQ to a RR from Alan. What would Carlo do I wonder? Any if anyone says "give it a 10 minute dwell", they are in trouble with a capital T......

And I see that Bob Coombes is tuned in.

Bob, we know how tough things are at home, and so many of us are thinking of you at this difficult time.

Not to mention the capital r,o,u,b,l, and e !

 ;)

Tony - is it a case of just the odd player getting involved and every1 else just holding back - or is everyone playing an agressive game?

Luke Smith moves all-in for 54k, but they all pass round to Paul Parker.

Paul chats for a while, then chats some more, then wonders why everyone is looking at him. "It's you to act Paul" says the dealer. "Oh, sorry, i did not realise it was on me, I pass. Now, as I was saying......"

Fairly subdued now, maybe cutting the blinds back a level has allowed the guys to relax a bit....

Playing live compared to online you get a lot fewer hands per hour anyway, but when Carlo sat down in a cash game I was in earlier in the week the rate became ridiculous. Each time the dealer collected the cards in he had to blow the dust off them that had gathered during his dwells. Jesus.

Kevin O'Leary and Stuart Smith - both class acts. I'm confident that these two will keep the bulk of the cash in Luton!!

come on smithy  :)

Great to see other Stu fans.

Good job gang!  8)

Steady on RobS, we are only having some fun with Carlo. I'd have him on my table any day for the banter alone.....

sorry snoopy, i am supporting luke

Tikay, did i mention that i was paul parkers libel lawyer ??

bah! Wrong Smith.  :P

Paul Parker could not afford a lawyer, by the time he'd finished talking the bill would come to thousands.....

Lol  but he aint short of a few bob, wasnt his brother peter parker Alias "spiderman" lol

Roughly, the chip lead sits with Alan McLean, then Steve Bovis, Micky Wernick, then Stuart Smith.....

Could some1 clarify which is Paul and who is Carlos? I've had a gander at the photos.

Only joking Tikay - no problem with someone taking a bit of time on their decisions - he does dwell though!

Yeh Stuart Smith -  played with him quite a bit, excelent player and really nice bloke aswell, hope he does well

And Denis O'Mahoney is fifth chip, then Paul Parker....

Man gone! Denis O'Mahoney busts Luke Smith with a set of tens. Unlucky Luke.

Rhowena now has to interview Luke, who was due to be the Best Man at her recent wedding to Dave.

Luke Smith OUT in 9th.......

Paul parker is the one with stretch marks around his mouth ;)

nnnoooo, well done luke

Carlos & Paul Parker, which is which?

See the FIRST pic on Page 21. Carlos is the guy who, as you look, is immediately to the right of the trophy. Paul Parker is to HIS right.....

WOW!

Denis O'Mahoney makes it 28k to go. Stuart Smith moves sall-in for 114k. Then Alan McLean CALLS for 114k. WTF?

Denis passes. Stuart Smith is OUT in 8th place.

What a play by Alan McLean though, he is MASSIVE now......

And Denis passed AK - he would have taken the whole lot, as the K rivered......

Nooooooo.

What did stu have???

Just wanna say thx to every1 for all their support. Really enjoyed my first event & look forward to meeting some of u in the future.

All the best
Kev

Sorry Guys. Stuart Smith had TT, Alan McLean had JJ. An AMAZING play by Alan. He just told me that when Stu dwelt for so long after Denis made it 28k, Alan KNEW his JJ was likely good.....

Tony, I know your busy but if you get the chance would you please thank mr Jonathan Raab of blue square for me, he sorted my on line probs, found me a shirt when mine got too smelly, encouraged me in the comp and even listened to my bad beat stories, and thats above and beond the call, THANKS MR RAAB!!

Kevin O'Leary is OUT. He clashed with Carlos Michael. Kevin had TT, Carlos had A-7 suited. Two guys both said "Oh, I passed an A", but first card to hit the flop was an A.......

Kevin out 7th.

Tikay, I would like to echo red dog's post, jonathon is a smashing fella (is smashing the right word ;) )
he was a great ambassador for blue square and a proper nice bloke.

Alan McLean has a whopping 550,000, out of 1,210,000 in play.....

And Alan aint giving these guys chance to breathe, he's not letting them see flops, & he's RR-ing their initial Raises.

Just spoke to Stuart Smith.

He's absolutely gutted, understandably. Never happy unless you win I guess.

I'd just like to take the opportunity thought to say well done bud.

1st massive comp - I reckon he did f****ing brilliant to finish where he did. From the reports I got, played a great game too.

Paul Parker moves all-in for ABOUT 60K. Steve Bovis, in BB, calls.

Steve shows 8-8, Paul shows Q-J, first card is the J, & then all blanks. Paul Parker doubles up, 120k-ish now.....

oops - one too many stars there - well, u get the drift  :P

And cheers Tony for keeping me updated. Really appreciated it. I'll buy u a pint next time I'm at the Gala.

... well, half a lager.  8)

Next man out gets 4,480.

Alan is chip leader, followed by Steve, then Micky, Carlos, Denis, & Paul.

Denis makes it 30k to go, Alan does his RR trick again, & makes it 110k to go! Denis, after a dwell, lets go. I think he had AJ, but Alan is just running over these guys now, bullying with his monster stack.

Then Paul Parker works the RR trick on Denis, so Denis lets go. Denis is now low-chip, & tells the table, "Next time, I don't pass".......

And Denis goes on the attack, and moves in next hand, but they all pass.

Tikay, you have seen your fair share of main event finals, how do you rate this one ?

It's been mega so far, but it ain't over yet!

Micky & Steve are in the blinds, Alan McLean just limps. The blinds both check the flop, guess what happens next........

Alan scoops another little pot. It's relentless, he's got his knee on their windpipes......

But I fancy Micky is gonna wait till it's 3 handed, then start showing his little bag of tricks.

Come on Mick, about time the West Midlands showed their muscle!!
Ian

Steve Bovis raises, Paul Parker moves in for another 80k. Steve eventually passes. Paul showed 7-7, Steve never showed.....

damn right  :)

Family pot, everyone limps except Denis, who passes.

Guess who's first to bet??!!

Alan takes down ANOTHER pot..........

what poss is micky in?....and dont say sitting down!

Right, they are on a 5 min break, followed by a blind level of 6k-12k. Chip counts, in seat order, are....

Steve Bovis, 161k

Denis O'Mahoney, 61k

Alan McLean, 546k

Carlos Michael, 103k

Paul Parker, 109k

Micky Wernick, 193k.

Thanks to Southampton dealer Ross for his help with these. Ross is the guy in Airline.........

Right, we are off again. At these blinds, closure will come soon for a few of these guys.....

And Alan is gonna keep the pressure on, nobody can hurt him right now.

Steve makes it 57k to go. Predictably Alan immediately sets him sall-in with a masive RR.

Steve has 5-5, Alan has A-J, Alan misses, & Steve doubles through.

I wonder if the momentum is gonna move against Alan now?

So Alan drops to about 350k, & Steve is up to some 320k........

GAME ON!!!!

Paul Parker & Carlos Michael are SB & BB, Carlos makes up the SB, Paul Parker moves all-in, Carlos passes...... Paul pays the rent for another round, but 6 handed, & 6k-12k, these boys need a caller & a double up if they wanna survive.......

Carlos makes his move for glory, but it ends in death.

He has 44, Micky Wernick has AK, & all the chips go in pre-flop.

Flop brings an A AND a K, & Micky fills up on the end.

Carlos out in 6th.

Denis has some 55k, Paul has about 80k, the other three have roughly 320k each.

So Denis & Paul tentatively suggest a 5 way split. Once Micky, Alan & Steve get up off the floor & stop laughing, a polite "no thank you" is issued, though those were not the actual words......

tikay dont u feel slightly let down when this comp gets 3 handed its gonna be a chop ,,,,dont u think wat an anti climax....youve done all this reporting ,running around etc etc and for wat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Parker makes his stand against Alan McLean. Paul has A-9, Alan is just a spot better with A-T, & nobody improves.

Paul Parker OUT in FIFTH.

So Denis ladders ANOTHER spot.

And he suggests a deal again, so Alan McLean says "yeah, you can have 50 extra....".

with the new (no deals) policy in mind, will they have to play it out whatever?

Denis HAS to make his move now, he's got about 55k.

I am not aware of a new "no deals policy" in Luton. Luton will only report the OFFICIAL prize structure, but there is nothing on earth that can prevent players doing deals.

Course, they will lose Ranking Points too, if they do business......

tikay dont u feel slightly let down when this comp gets 3 handed  its gonna be a chop ,,,,dont u think wat an anti climax....youve done all this reporting ,running around etc etc and for wat  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really Kashman.

It's the journey I find interesting, not neccessarily the destination.

Bloody hell Tikay , thats words of wisdom for this time of night :)

Mind blowing stuff tikay!  Come on Denis!!!!!!!!

Denis is ALL-IN with 4-4........

Alan McLean calls with Q-T..

Board brings two pairs with an A, & it's a split pot!

Now Denis gets a button steal through!

And he gets his screamer, three pots in a row, & Denis is in nosebleed teritory......

one of your very best Tony, and at short notice too, kudos!

Sheesh, Denis goes for 4 in a row with 6-6, Micky takes him on with K-5, but the K hits the flop very first card, & Denis's incredible comeback is thwarted just when it was getting interesting. Pot was 144k!

Denis takes 4th, 9,800.

Thanks Red-Dog, Rumit & Kev. There's plenty more where they came from - Readers Digest.......

What a sterling effort by Denis, congrats to him!

GG Denis. Great effort there! I fancy Alan is going to get this. Serial tourament winner is going to make it big time.

The three guys seem to be having a bit of a chat. The total amount of money left - about 80k - seems to have been mentioned.......

Can't imagine what they are discussing.......

It seems that - & this is only a guess....!! - they have chopped it in relation to their chip stacks, & are now playing for the trophy, & maybe the odd few grand.......

Just a guess, you understand......

good stuff tikay ............well done blonepoker...........R.I.P......the hendon mob :-\

Wisdom is not in the acquiring of Knowledge, but in the way it is used!

on that note, i will thank you for some superb reprting Tikay,and im off to the land of nod. See you soon i hope
CHEERS
Kev.
P.S. Give my LOVE to "Tikay's Angels" ;)

The mood has lightened now, it's all laughs as these guys go through the motions, & start to think about the fat end of 80k carved up between 'em....

And why not, they have battled grimly for 2 days, but now it's time to let the pressure valve off & give it a big "phew, TFFT".......

gotta go to bed ,school run in 4 hours,just wanted so say a big THANK YOU for the entertainment tk and crew,really enjoyed it.

Its been a blast though Tony, Ive enjoyed every minute of it, cant wait for Blackpool, Well done!!

And Micky Wernick exits in third, but theres no moaning or chuntering from Micky, he's happy as a happy thing.

The rumour in the card-room is that Micky Wernick & Steve Bovis took 25k each, & Alan takes 30k.

not a bad weeks work Binky ;D

And suddenly, it's all over. Both players have bus tickets, but all the chips go in, & our official winner is.......

STEVE BOVIS.

Well done Steve & Alan!

It's very late, & the 'ol fella is knackered, so the "thank you's" will have to wait until tomorrrow.

Tikay  any chance of a photo of Micky smiling? or am I too late.

Don't be silly Craig.

But watch poker 425 any night from Wednesday onwards, & you'll see Micky interviewed by Rhowena, & he sure was smiling then. Channel 425, 11 pm. Got that?

Night all!

Good night!  Great coverage!

Hi All,

Just got home and wanted to thank everyone for the support tonight. Blonde have done a great job with the reporting and Luton gave us a great structure. I was having a great time trying to manouvere my small stack all night. Had I called with my AK I would have had 380K but I felt it was wrong and I stand by my decision. I wish the king never came though. See you all soon and good luck.

Thx TK wonderful coverage mate from u as per norm, also the bevey of beauties
on board made it all the more readable lol.

                        NEVES.
