The full wilson retains its notoriety - two players immediately identified it by name. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 08:41:05 PM Ironside is down to 1,700 chips

1st £11,470 2nd £7,130 3rd £4,650 4th £2,790 5th £2,170 6th £1,550 7th £1,250 Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 09:47:55 PM More action on Table Red/Jackson.
Board is 9c 2s 2s Qc. Dave Smith bets 1500. Player to his left - we think Stuart Pearson reraises to 3000. He has 2500 behind. Dave Smith immediately reraises to put Stuart all in. After a dwell Stuart folds for his last 2500 - pot was almost 7000. Dave Smith shows Qs. There is a lot of game on that table - probably one of the tougher but most interesting tables - some of the play elsewhere has been that of a one day comp with players calling with Queen high for 30% of their remaining stack. This is definitely a sit back and let them knock themselves out comp to a certain extent. As an aside - just heard one table discussing the fact that one player went out within 4 minutes. Someone asked "Is Tikay playing then" Never ends.... Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 09:48:40 PM Yet more action on table Red/Jackson. Just as Red and I are discussing Ed (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=138) Giddens (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=138) choice of venue for his third date. Red is in BB with rags. Raise from seat 5. reraised all in from seat 6. All pass apart from seat 5 who calls for all his chips.
Seat 5 Kh Qs Seat 6 7c 7h Board comes Jd Jh 4c 2h 3h 3h - no help to the original raiser and anoher one bites the dust. Team trumper has voiced his concern that this may turn into a 1 day comp - not by design but through lack of remaining players. Field is slightly lower than expected - down to Bahamas who have claimed players such as Thewy and the Irish Poker Championships in Galway who have claimed such players as Mick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=281) McCool (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=281). Team trumper already looking forward to next month - and so am I - if I can get a sattelite to this I will - it's a great competition - i am green with envy that these guys are playing.

Cardiff's Rana Gurnam has 23,000 and sits two to the left of Rberto Romanello, much speech play afoot there Jamie Moult, bookiebasher on blonde, struggling somewhat with 4,200 Monster hand alert I only joined proceedings to witness a board that read Kd Qh Kh Ac Jd There must have been an inordinate amount of slow playing going here Howard (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=166) Plant (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=166) checked the river Stacie Coore dwelled, and I caught sight of his cards when he took a "hmm, I am not sure where I am, honest" peek He had Aspades Kc and eventually threw in his last 3,200 into a 8,000 or so pot Howard sensed something was up, but called..knowing he was beat..with Qs Qc speaking to Howard now our exchange went as follows Me "you are lucky still to be in, that was a nasty hand" Howard "I'm a good player, me" Me.....silence Howard "he raised pre-flop, i flat called, we both checked the flop, he flat called when I raised him on the turn despite being quite short and once he bet on the end I knew he could only do so with AA,KK or AK. I should have passed", Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 10:06:57 PM Updated seating plan courtesy of Yogi:

Pete (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=348) Linton (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=348) going great guns with 30k+ Rchard Berridge called a raise in the bb the flop came Tc Td Th Unsurprisingly, given that he held Ts Js, he won the hand after extracting two bets out of 8s 8h. He now has 23,000 blinds are 100-200 for another 8 minutes and 43 players remain, now on 5 tables Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 10:36:09 PM Following on from the Wernick curtsey there is a bit of Karma. Lord Wernick in a hand - board is Qd 2d 5c Qc. Checked to Lord W who bets 1500. All fold to the BB who bets all in - Lord W insta folds. Hands in till?
Another table Wernick hand - Lord W on button flat calls. No raise from BB - Tim (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=431) Blake (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=431). Flop 6s 5h 7c All check. Turn 7d. SB bets 200, BB calls, Lord W raises to 1100 very firmly - chips banging onto table. All insta fold - Lord W has spoken. This trend continues - Lord W has learnt that a 1200 bet wins at the moment and repeats this move the very next hand with 5 people in the pot - they all fold. Great when you know the level that scares people. Nowab chipped up - about 15000 (ave 10k) Sitting at other end to Mickey, Simon has the ice bucket and a bottle of champagne by his side enjoying the high life. A few more chip counts - Des (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) Jonas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) 9200, Up the Mariners 9500. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 10:41:05 PM 39 left, and the antes kick in on the next level..150/300 with 25
the average is now 11,923 chip leaders are Messrs ActionJackson and BalletDancerLinton with over 30,000 each Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 10:59:49 PM Suitably refuelled Red raises 2 seats after the blinds to 1500. (blinds 150/300)
Folds to BB who is torn between calling and playing his hand and starrting his burger and chips that is cooling nocely by his side. He has 6500 in chips. I think Red may have raised his blind before. "I can't keep passing" he warns Red as he ......erm......passes. Red wins a few more chips to boost his 7k stack. Dave Smith offers to tell me how many chips he's got. It's alright I tell him I've counted them. "How many have I got then?" he challenges me. "I've rounded it down to 14000" I tell him. he counts his chips - "Not bad" he acknowledges "I've got 14250. I should remember never to argue with a woman" A little late but a lesson well learnt! He is such a lovely man - though that hat puts the fear of god in me - when ever I see it it represents a winning player to me and I start doubting my hands. Tighty smiling inanely - just got a norkage pic and he's very pleased with himself!!

Womble in small blind - lots of verbal going on between Des (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) Jonas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) and matey boy with a fantasticly strong welsh accent - threatening to take Des (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) Jonas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) out of the comp - as they have some history and he wants to take him out on his own home ground. Des (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) Jonas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) calls blind so he can play against matey boy. Matey boy folds (sigh - what a damp sqib that threat was) Womble checks. Flop is 2h 3s Tc and Womble in SB goes all in. Des calls "sick call" he says. Womble has Ts 8c Des has 5d 4s Board comes: Qh 4h and Woble doubles up.......Another service gladly provided by Blonde poker. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 11:35:43 PM Some chip counts for you:

Womble on the button looking a lot better now with 11,000. Romanello - two before Wombles button raises to 1100. One before the button goes all in for 2670. Romanello doesn't have to spend much time dwelling - he folds - trying to justify his fold with a sage "You have a really massive hand - i am probably dominated" 27 players remaining - ave chips 17,222 Blinds 200/400 with ante of 50. It's grinding time for a few players now. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 12:16:19 AM RED DOG is out
Ben (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=44) Callinan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=44) raises to 1,200 RED pushed 12,000 all in with Aspades Qs Ben calls with Ahrt Kd the flop brings Ac and Kh and there's no way back for RED 24 now left on 3 tables Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 12:42:58 AM Table Jackson/Nowab - and the boys are getting feisty - jackson raises and Nowab calls in the blinds. Board comes Ac 4d 3d Th 3c. Jackson bets and Nowab calls with the 4 but Jackson had 8s 8c.
They are having a great time and laughing all the way - it's like watching an edition of cash poker. You would never think they are playing for a first prize of £11,470 Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 01:00:31 AM Table Wernick - big hand between Pete (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=348) Linton (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=348) and Rana Gurnam from Cardiff.
Flop goes 3h 4c 4s Pete bets 2075 into a pot of 3500. Rana calls. Turn 8s. Rana bets 4k leaving him 9925 behind. Pete calls. River 8h. Rana goes all in for his 9925. Pete calls, insta mucks when he sees Rana's 8d Qc. Nice pot for Rana. During all this Lord Wernick is trying to push the action on. As Rana dwells after the turn Lord W is asking "Who's it on?" just to get everything moving - it works - Rana made his move. Another tip from the Lord.

The board AK68K. Berridge had bet the river and Micky raised. After a bit of a dwell Berridge passes saying he was giving Micky respect and shows AQ. Micky shows 1 card... an 8! Also saw Raj Dhiri treble up with A9 v K8 v Rag 3 (maybe a 7 or 10!), he hit his 9 and the rest of the board was blank. On 9k, his highest all night! Counts: Richard Berridge 42k Pat Kelley 46k Raj Dhiri 9k Ben (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=44) Callinan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=44) 40k Hongji Liu 14k Imran McKenzie 14k Micky Wernick 36k Stephen (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=409) Walmsley (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=409) 11k And as I was typing this Raj doubles up again with A9 v A10, so must be on 18k or so now! Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 At a Glance Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 02:22:52 AM Hand between Pete L and Dave Smith. (As reported by Pete)
Dave raises and Pete calls with Tc 7c Flop comes 8c 3c 4h Pete bets 3500 and Dave flat calls. Turn comes Ad. Dave bets into Pete (amount unknown) and Pete moves all in. Dave folds showing Kc Jc. Pete dominated but Dave couldn't make the call against an all in bet.
