http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=35855.new#new (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=35855.new#new) Play commences at 2pm, sharp! (ish) Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on August 07, 2008, 02:07:02 PM Hi guys - we're back for more GUKPT fun and frolics.
The usual suspects are here and the 'internet kids' - you know who I mean, the pabs, moomins and flushys, of the world have turned up in force to show that they can play a bit of live poker too. With not just one but two blonde updaters in the form of Dana and Jen laying down their pens and notepads and picking up chips, this GUKPT has all the ingredients for a classic. Especially good luck to Dana who I have a 50% share with, though of course I will behave in a professional dispassionate manner, with no bias whatsoever toward the banjo playing goddess who can feel the hand of destiny on her shoulder. As Snoopy astutely observed this is the first coupling of cat and dog yet seen, so I'll be looking to learn off the master and also educate him on the superiority of cats over dogs. It might all go Pete Tong though... (http://shanx.com/av/dog-cat.jpg) The cards are just in the air, so myself and the dogmeister are off to catch the early action. Good luck all! Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on August 07, 2008, 02:53:26 PM There's some interesting tables out there as you would expect but one with a lot of potential for trouble sees Marc (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=257) Goodwin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=257), who won the Manchester GUKPT sitting just to the right of online titan Paul "Pab" Foltyn, fresh back from Vegas after making three cashes, who himself is seated just to the right of our very own Miss Mason.
Three aggressive personalities in a row. Watch the fireworks commence! good luck to all the blondes playing! And can you make it upto team NAS for the lack of norkage at DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) last week! cheers!! I have extreme faith in the Beagle.....................please don't let us down Snoops Snoopy's promised lots of norkage, given Luton's reputation for beautiful ladies Llevan, so don't worry he's on the case. For now here is a shot of the dashing Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=323) Foltyn (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=323) and marvellous Miss Mason for you to feast your eyes over. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19509&g2_serialNumber=1) Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on August 07, 2008, 02:55:12 PM Gary Mills is your first exit of the day. No further details.
Dominic Kay is also gone. Meanwhile, Chris (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=69) Moorman (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=69) has doubled up his starting stack with aces against Dick Lynch's kings. Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on August 07, 2008, 03:35:21 PM Ariston just called a preflop raise from the small blind and after checking the Js 9h 4s flop, he called his opponent's 600 bet.
THe turn was a flush completing 2s which resulted in an avalanche of action as it went check...........check. On the 6c river Ariston threw out three yellows or 1,500 chips, leading his opponent to fold sharpish. "You were just stealing off me on the flop then?" inquired a semi outraged Ariston as he swept up the chips, whilst table partner Tikay bemoaned his age-induced myopia. "I thought I had Aces, turned out I had A-4!" he said squinting at me. Here he is in his crisp white skypoker shirt listening intently to Ariston's incessant stream of chatter. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19523&g2_serialNumber=1) ----------- More action than a Die Hard boxset on one table as Olaf Zeeuw's leading bet of 1,200 on an 5d 8s 6d flop is followed by a smooth call from Mateyboy in the neighbouring seat only for Raymond Nicholas to push all in the next seat down. After a good minute in the think tank, Olaf and Mateyboy both folded, showing 6d 5c and Ad Td respectively. Raymond revealed 8h 8d, much to the relief of his opponents. Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on August 07, 2008, 04:24:07 PM More mischief from Ariston.
I spoke to Brad Shaw, whilst encaged in the zoo-like smoking facilities here in Luton. He was bemoaning his luck, losing a decent pot on an ace high flop when a six fell on the river and his opponent made aces up to his A-Q. "I knew exactly where I was throughout the hand. I knew the guy was fishing with a rag ace! Rivered again." As I re-entered the card-room, Tikay told me about a hand Ariston had played beautifully..."So he had A-6..." ...........hmmmm sounds familiar! Ariston had done a rather ungentlemanly hit and run after mugging Brad for half his stack and is now causing carnage with his blossoming $20,000 on a different table. This wasn't an end to the drama on table Tikay though as suddenly we had an all-in! Two players, Neil Bethune and an unnamed opponent saw a 2s Ad 3c flop. On the 2d turn Neil bet out and was check-raised, only to move all-in! He was called and he turned over pocket threes for a full house, only for mateyboy to sadly flip over 4-5 for the nut straight. He stared morosely at the board hoping for some outs to appear but none did, meaning he was left short and nearly out, whilst Neil doubled up with a smile. Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on August 07, 2008, 04:40:53 PM Jen grabbed me as I walked past to relate an intesting exit hand from her table.
Paul Hassan Mehmet raised to 600 preflop, only to pick up no less than FIVE calls! Crikey! The flop came T-6-7 and Paul led for 2,000, receiving a sole caller in Andy Warnes. The turn was a blank and the chips now went in, Andy calling Paul's shove with A-T, which you might have thought was a bit light, until Paul turned over Q-T for just top pair with a worse kicker! "He didn't even have a redraw!" exclaimed Jen, perhaps suggesting she would have stacked off herself if she had a gutshot or something. No Q on the river meaning a Mehmet shaped hole appeared in the table and Paul receives a healthy boost to his stack. In other news we are a Red Dog down! Victim of one of the last hands of level two before the break, he called a small raise with pocket sixes, only for the board to come 6-7-8 with two clubs. "That's what got me in't troooble!" he told me in his classic brogue as when the board paired with an 8c on the turn, and a blank river fell, he found himself all-in with his full house, only to have been cold decked in unfortunate fashion as his opponent flipped pocket sevens for a slightly bigger house. "Mebbe i coulda sehved meself 1,200 on the river", he lamented sadly, briefly stopping on his way out of the pressroom to admire the size of Snoopy's dongle. "It flashes and everything!!" Snoopy commented enthusiastically. So should you be interested in looking at pictures of Snoopy flashing his massive dongle, please let me know and I'll post some up.

Greekfish was the man who caused his consternation by cracking his Aces. Pete had re-raised him preflop and Greekfish called. The flop fell 7-5-2 and Pete made a small lead only for Greekfish to push all-in. Insta-call from Pete and Greekfish flipped over pocket eights, in big trouble. A 6 on the turn followed by a cruel 9 on the river however gave Andy a winning straight, meaning the 30k ish pot was shipped away from the young gun, which he was NOT happy about! News has filtered through to the pressroom that Pete hasn't recoverered from this set back and is now OUT! Quick norkage shot. Here is Mr Burns having his back massaged by one of the pretty massage girls. Excellent... (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19541&g2_serialNumber=1) Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on August 07, 2008, 06:04:46 PM Pete Linton wears a face like thunder after tangling, unsuccessfully so, with Andrew Andreou (aka Greekfish). I only caught the end, but I think the board and facial expressions told the story. With a 5s 5h 7c 9c 6s lying on the felt, Greekfish's pockets eights had just cracked Linton's bullets in dramatic, testicle crunching style. "He's been raising 80% of the hands," claimed Greekfish in his defence, later adding, "This is the first time I've ever got lucky in my entire life." Linton now short, not in stature, obviously.
----------- It's not going to be a good win for Goodwin this time around, as he's just been eliminated by Nik Persaud. "I meant to limp for 150, but threw in 1,050 by mistake. I only had two thousand left, so it was going in whatever." And go in it did, Nik reraising with pocket fives and finding himself in dominant shape against Marc's 6s-3s. Nik would have to survive a frightful flop though, the board coming 4s-7s-x-9-T before eventually giving the Lodononer the pot. Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on August 07, 2008, 06:21:43 PM Jen has expired.
Not in the sense of having major organ failure, but she has had a major stack failure unfortunately. Nothing went right for her today, losing a lot of stack when she felt she had to pass Kings on a semi dangerous board versus what she felt was a set and finally getting her last chips in with K-Q, only to run into both Aces AND Kings. No miracle and Jen (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=198) Mason (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=198) with her newly acquired bloodshot red eye (Accident with door) have departed the tournament. "I'm going to play the £100 freezeout and make my money back!" she stated confidently before falling into a temporary malaise. "I'm such a donk" she wailed, but we all know the popular Miss Mason will be back on track before long. ------------ Alan Mansbridge Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on August 07, 2008, 06:46:44 PM Faces like thunder abound at the moment with outdraws all over the place, causing the poker room to almost erupt into rioting.
Ian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=173) Frazer (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=173) is the latest to feel the wrath of the poker gods, his AK no good versus J-J on a Q-Q-T-K-A board, which has left him with sub 10k...not quite life support territory but not too impressive. Here he is, his dour, glum expression starkly contrasting with his impressively flowery shirt. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19549&g2_serialNumber=1) Flushy proudly announced he bluffed Moomin off a hand recently, He called Chris' raise to 600 from teh big blind with 7-8. The flop fell A - 9 - T and Flushy check called Chris' 800 bet. The turn was a ten and the action went check, check. On the river a 4 fell and Flushy (who felt Moorman probably had Queens or Kings) now bet out 1,200 into the 2,900 ish pot to make it look like a milking bet and Moorman passed. It transpired though that Chris thought Flushy had bet the full pot which is why he passed otherwise he would have called. It's tough trying to keep up with all these live hands sometimes huh? "In my eye" announced Chris, accepting Flushy had donk-owned him in this hand, even if it was by accident! ----------- Graham Whedlon has doubled up to an amount that I can't count because he's currently stacking chips after stumbling upon pocket rockets. Reraising his opponent's 2,500 bet all in for an extra 6,000 on a 5c 2h 8c flop, Graham seemed pretty comfortable, and especially so when he was called by pocket queens. A 4d turn and Tc river made no difference, and Graham was left to rake in the chips.

All in with Ahrt Kh against Jd Jc, the 5c Ac Ks flop was a welcome one, but the Js turn about as accommodating as Faulty Towers, and Ariston was gone.
----------- Could you please pass on my best wishes to Cupcake and ask him how he got on with the Chateauneuf-du-pape. I'm serious ;D :cheers: I think blonde is going to have to supply a bok smilie in the near future (perhaps we can call it Karabiner), as John McGrane has just been eliminated from today's event at the hands of Steve Tucker. Coming over the top with Ahrt Ks, cupcake was looked up by Ad Ks, the latter holding up on a 4s 4c 6h Jc 3h board.

Finding himself shortstacked he pushed on the button, only to find Pippa Flanders re-raising confidently. Iwan Jones made a tough pass with what he later said were pocket tens and it transpired it was a good pass as Pippa showed down pocket Kings. Paul was in a world of trouble, meekly showing down 8-2 and needing a spot of help. An eight popped out on the flop drawing a few hushed and slightly unenthusiastic ooohs from the watching crowd as the possibility of an outdraw beckoned but it was not to be as the turn and river flowed by eightlessly and twolessly, leaving his tournament in tatters and propelling the upwardly mobile Pippa to over 20,000. "Well played me" critiqued Iwan modestly for his pass of tens there. Flushy has won a big pot off John Gale and is now sitting on a lofty stack of 64,225. After raising with A-4 preflop, as you do, Flushy saw an A-J-8 flop and check called John's bet of 2,200. The turn was an 8 and both players checked. The river came a T and flushy bet out 3k, only to be virtually min raised to 7,500. He called the extra 4.5k ("I can't see what he could have there?") and despite the small raise, John couldn't table a hand and mucked. His tablemate Chris Moorman is also going rather well, as he can boast an impressive 30,000 stack at this point. About time for Moorman to run good in a live event perhaps? Here is Chris celebrating the good shape he is currently in.

Play folds round quicker than Dwayne Chambers after a visit to the chemists, leaving Tighty to scoop the blinds uncontested with his aces (he didn't show). "I folded quads," commented Barry (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1143) Carter (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1143) in the aftermath. I think a guy folded kings on the neighbouring table too.
But if an under the gun raise wasn't enough to get your blood pumping, Tighty was bumping and grinding again just a few rounds later when he pushed all in for 7,000 on a K-7-Q flop. Perhaps unaware of his reputation (although the light is bad in here, so maybe he mistook Tighty was Ali (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=23) Mallu (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=23)), Panicos (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1558) Ellinas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1558) made the call with a paltry J-T, but will have been delighted to see he had overcards to the Prewster's 7-6, as well as the open ended straight draw. Running nines, and Tighty was done, although he left in a blaze of glory knowing that he got it in with bottom pair, and was still ahead! (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19589&g2_serialNumber=1) ------------- Martin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1224) Jarvis (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1224) has doubled through after being left hanging by Nick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=305) Gibson (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=305) for a good minute or two. I think someone called the clock on Nick, much to the dismay of Martyn (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=270) Cavanagh (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=270) who believed it hadn't been long enough and thus contested the request. Back on the felt, the board read Jd 4c 4d and Martin had pushed all in for circa 8,000. With Adam Stoneman waiting behind, Nick ummed and aahed before eventually calling with 9c 9d. After Adam had sidestepped out of the way, Martin showed Kd Kc and duly increased his stack two fold as the turn and river came 7s and 8d respectively. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19577&g2_serialNumber=1) And this is the face Nick mistakenly thought was weak...

Anderson was all with Ad Ks on a flop of Js 8s Kc, but was snap-called (as you would) by Peter and his 8h 8d. No miracles graced the G Casino in Luton and Anderson was gone. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19583&g2_serialNumber=1) ---------- We've witnessed more doubles than a night on the town with Dana today, the latest encounter seeing Jim (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=599) Reid (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=599) double up Craig Bickerton with Ac Qc versus Jh Jc but failing to hit on a harmless 4s Th Ks 2c 8c board. Jim now down to 8.5k.

Down to 14,000 now... Random chip count of the day. Steve (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=414) Jelinek (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=414) - 16,000.

Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on August 07, 2008, 10:43:40 PM As the night grows older, we're starting to see more and more all-in encounters. The last one I witnessed involved blondeite Graham 'Chompy' Wheldon. With both players in early position, Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1229) Leckey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1229) found himself all in for his tournament life with Ac Kc against the Ahrt Qc of Wheldon. The 8d 8h 6h Th flop and turn was looking good for Leckey, but he was teased devilishly on the river as the dealer fumbled continuously with the final card. Eventually he scooped it up to reveal a Ks, although the wait, and the momentary sight of paint caused Leckey to palm his chest as if to calm his rapidly beating heart. Leckey up to 11,000.
(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19605&g2_serialNumber=1) ----------- Mohammed Zahour has also been busy of late. He just ran Qc Qd into the Aspades Ahrt of Ergun Macit (pictured). No help on a 6d Ts 4h 9s 9h board and he's back down to 20,000.

His assassin was Jeff (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=196) Rogers (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=196), his A-K out-gunning O'Shea's pocket nines when a second king hit the turn. I wish I could report some Hellmuth-esque rants or Matusow like blow-ups, but everyone here today has been thoroughly well behaved, which is sometimes less entertaining than a good old fashioned tantrum or over-celebration. As with most exits today, O'Shea didn't begrudge his lack of coin-flippage and simply wished his opponents good luck before quietly exiting the table.
(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19617&g2_serialNumber=1) ----------- "I can't believe he just called that," commented a bemused Martyn (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=270) Cavanagh (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=270) rising from his seat abruptly. Martin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=269) Green (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=269) raised it up, Garinder (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1682) Purewal (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1682) flat called and Sami (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1565) Yusef (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1565) pushed all in. Martin folded, but Garinder called with 7s 6s. Yusef tabled Aspades Qs. Board = 9h 3s 3h 5h 3d Yusef doubles up. ------------ Also heading towards the door (or the roulette table) is Stephen Basri. I only caught the aftermath of the hand, but he exited with kings versus the A-K of Jon Brown with a second bullet hitting the turn. Title: Re: Bluesq.com GUKPT Luton: Day 1a - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on August 07, 2008, 11:52:52 PM Flushy, not entirely surprisingly, has managed to wang a little bit of his stack.
"Ran into aces" he said, showing a surprising degree of restraint in not adding "aments" to any of the words. He didn't tell me what filth he had run into them with though... He was more keen in telling me about a hand where he bluffed Chris Moorman preflop, re-popping his initial bet with T-4 and being rewarded with a fold. "One in the eye" he told me triumphantly, in the parlance of the young kids these days. He's still on 60 odd thousand though which is likely to be good, or at least very close, to the chip lead. Dave Colclough has not had the best of days and once he was reduced to 150 chips, it looked all over and indeed shortly afterwards, it was. Bye bye Elblondie. We're approaching the final level of the evening now which should herald a plethora of allins and attempts to double through by the shorties as they won't want to be hanging around for two days to come back with 5 big blinds. Expect nothing less than unadulterated carnage.

Adam Stoneham -- 72,500 Paul Foltyn -- 50,000 Graham Wheldon -- 16,650 Chris Moorman -- 56,000 Alex Martin -- 32,000 Iwan Jones -- 60,150 Martin Green -- 35,500 Tracey Dell -- 11,250 James Dempsey -- 58,000 Dave Clark -- 17,900 Barry Carter -- 2,500 Ian Cox -- 60,200 Martyn Cavanagh -- 11,000 ---------- Barry Carter is the first victim of the final level and thus won't be returning for day two. Although I only caught the very end of the hand, he was initially crippled by neighbour and fellow short-stacker Nick Gibson when the latter's 7c 5c from the cut-off rivered a pair on a 3h 3d 6h Th 7d board to topple Barry's Kd Qd in the small blind. Judging by the hands, I can only assume it went in preflop. A few hands later, and Barry was out.

Although I only caught the very end of the hand, he was initially crippled by neighbour and fellow short-stacker Nick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=305) Gibson (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=305) when the latter's 7c 5c from the cut-off rivered a pair on a 3h 3d 6h Th 7d board to topple Barry's Kd Qd in the small blind. Judging by the hands, I can only assume it went in preflop. A few hands later, and Barry was out. Left with jsut 2.2 k after that hand he managed to double up with 4d 5d versus Adam Stoneham's K-J flopping trips but his luck couldn't hold as he pushed to double again with A-3, but his opponent's A-T was in no mood to be outdone and a Ten on the turn sealed Mr Carter's fate.

Raising with T-8 off to 2.5k, a shortstack pushed behind for an amount Flushy couldn't pass to so he made the call.
The flop fell out a surprisingly pretty Q-J-9 giving Flushy a close to unassailable 2nd nut straight but by the river his shortstacked opponent had made a flush. None of the table appeared to notice this, a chorus of "bad lucks" and "good games" almost sending him to the door, but a reluctant Flushy felt it encumbent on him to point out the error of their ways and the player returned to the felt buoyed by a double up and having taken a nibble out of Flushy's stack, reduced to a still respectable 55,000. Flushy was most annoyed by the fact he was forced to call with his T-8. "There goes my image" he said with a sigh and a surprising lack of sarcasm in his voice. My response was predictable. (http://www.hjo3.net/orly/gal2/orly_white_cat.jpg) ----------- As Alan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1315) Stearn (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1315) makes his exit, he is closely followed by Mike (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1468) Moore (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1468) who fell at the hands of 'sicko' Nik (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=314) Persaud (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=314). I suppose you have to win your coin-flips to final these events, and Nik (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=314) Persaud (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=314) found his coin buttered on the right side as his pocket tens survived a blank board against Moore's inferior K-Q.

----------- As I trundled over to the far end of the room, I was lured to one particular table by an array of ooh and aahs. The recipient of these sounds was Tracey Dingdell, who, although initially locked in a classic 50-50 battle, departed in rather more gut-wrenching form. All in against A-K, she needed her pocket queens to hold on, and although a flopped ace was followed by a dramatic queen on the turn, a cruel ten hit the river to give her opponent a straight on a J-A-x-Q-T board. ---------- More last level drama now as Tim (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=433) Flanders (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=433) finds himself all in against Iwan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=180) Jones (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=180). Although Iwan momentarily contemplated a fold to the final push with his Ac Kc, he eventually made the call only to be shown Ahrt Ad. Tim looked understandably confident until the flop came a nerve-jangling 4c 6s 7c... (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19631&g2_serialNumber=1) But Flanders had obviously been saying his prayers as the turn and river came a non-club 5h and Kd. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=19629&g2_serialNumber=1) "You made me sweat there," commented Tim. ----------- On a Jc Tc 8s flop, Bernard (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=48) Litman (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=48) pushed all in with Kd Qs, but was picked off by Dara (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2347) O'Kearney (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2347)'s Ac Aspades. 8d turn and 3s river was of no aid and Litman was gone. Yucel (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=782) Eminoglu (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=782) (pictured sandwiched between the two players) apparently folded A-J on the flop.
