gogogogogo...gogogogo

[  ] We haven't just finished playing £2 showdown in the hotel lounge.

LOL - who won?

Unlucky in the comp Rooks.  88 not a hand you want to see again for a while I guess.

GL to remaining Lutoners Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1469) Ephremsen (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1469), Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=324) Garnham (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=324) and Glenn (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2107) Henderson (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2107), aka Nirvana

Also to Nick Slade, who won a big tournament at Luton this time last year

good luck nick slade

good luck to all blondes left, and good luck to me in the £150 ;D

Good luck to nirvana,and all blondes playing.

Best of luck to all the blondes playing there today.  Get em won!!!   ;cheerleader;

Good luck to EMSers Dean and Roy.

I'll bok myself- gl me!

Good luck to Dean Pearson, Trigg, George Bedi, Sharky, Alan Armitage, LeKnave & bigfella.

Dean, Sharky or bigfella ftw!

glglglgl to william martin lets win it all sir,

most accomplished player left in the field.

gonna scoop the lot

Big 2nd day wish I could have got there, William Martins aces put paid to that dream, top bloke though.

Simon and the team keep doing everything right and the numbers keep growing - well done.

Final for Tony Decesera, Stuart Langford, Paul Newman, Matt Cartwright, Sean Mason, Gaz Purewal, Desi. Nick Slade is due a result and Carl Hoefkens could round off a good weekend after his first start for a while.

Off to Stoke now, hopefully not playing the £75 later.

gl to George Bedi, one time weeeeeeeeeeee

vbol guys. think paul's games is one of the strongest iv seen, ever.

 also good luck to trigg and blondes, nto sure if celtic and le knave are still in but VBOL!

[  ] I'm upset I missed this.

Successfully managed to get out of bed and down to DTD where we actually have 89 players remaining led by Pete Linton. Expect a severe culling of the field fairly early on.

The debagging is already underway and we'll be starting shortly.

Antonio Dicesare is one of the first casualties, didn't see his cards, just a raggy King high board and his chips being shipped to another player's Aces.

Rupinder Bedi has lost most of his stack with Kd Qd vs Jh Jd on a topsy turvy Ts Ks Qh Js 3c board.

Double up for LeKnave. Shahnawaz Randera raised preflop from early position and LeKnave reraised to 12k next to him. This convinced Alan Armitage to pass Jacks, though he looked gutted when Randera put LeKnave in for his remaining chips and got a call.

Randera: 6h 6s

LeKnave: 8s 8d

9d Ahrt Jd 2h Qd

Paul Garnham has doubled through Pete Linton with Kings vs Queens.

Actionman Wick Trigg has lost a small chunk of his stack, doubling up Waseem Ahmed with A-J vs T-T after a bricky board.

Gurpal Sehmi  knocked me out - how is he doing? I am following my chips.

GL to Paul "M3Boy" Garnham

Pete Linton bets 4,900 on a Jh 3c 5d flop but gives up when James Edgington makes it 14,000.

LeKnave bets 4,500 on a Qd Qs 3s, he gets min-check/raised by Graham Pound, but the latter folds when LeKnave shoves.

WonkyJim/Splash/Not Martin Freeman is down to 20k after getting it all-in preflop with Kings against Mark Craig's Queens. The Td Qh 6h Qd 6s board proving quite clinical.

Early exits:

77   Royston Finch
78   Saeed Saghatchi
79   Rab Bain
80   Neil Allen
81   Martin Devlin
82   Glyn Cooke
83   Shahnawaz Randera
84   Graham Nixon
85   Benjamin Boulden
86   Antonio Dicesare
87   Andy Cradock
88   Mark Jones
89   Eleanor Gudger

Good luck to Pete Linton

Not been a good day for Rick Trigg. He repopped a late position raiser from 3,200 to 9,800 having looked at one card, before shipping in with A-3 on a 5h 2h 2c flop only to be called by the OR's Jh 8h which made the flush on the turn. He's now nursing a short stack.

Cong Khanh Le has doubled through Kuljinder Sidhu with Qc 9c vs Aspades Kh for a healthy looking pot after the two got into a preflop raising war. Le spiked a Queen on the turn to win.

good luck to george bedi, ant the champ arlott, any chip up dates guys

Pete Linton looks to have lost around two thirds of his stack, mostly to James Edgington I would surmise who is now over the 100k mark.

William Martin wins Silly Glasses Of The Day.

Or is he just telling Richard Kellett, "You can be my wingman any day?"

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24510&g2_serialNumber=1)

Good Luck to Jim Buckley / Splash / Not Martin Freeman. Any chance of a photo as me and the little one are watching and he wants to see a pic of daddy working!!!

Des Jonas raises to 6,000 with about the same behind. Stuart Langford and Pete Singleton call.

Jc 7c 8d

Singleton checks, Jonas moves all-in and Langford passes. Singleton makes the call.

Jonas: Jh Td

Singleton: 9h 8h

Ts

"Awww, no" says Jonas.

9c

"Heheheheh, chop it up, chop it up, chop it up!"

Whats it paying down to?

Unfortunately, he's just been knocked out with 3-3 against J-J.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24514&g2_serialNumber=1)

Still he clearly enjoys poker better than in his office days...

(http://homepage.mac.com/stevegarfield/ooat/tim.jpg)

27 places.

LOL thanks

Rick Trigg, Rupinder Bedi and Garinder Purewal.

Purewal is struggling due to the fact his cards are made of uranium and clearly too heavy to pick up, Bedi is stirring an invisible cup of coffee with an equally invisible spoon while Trigg is just thinking that last night's curry was probably a bad idea...

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24512&g2_serialNumber=1)

Hardly a LOL moment dear.

Rudders is out. A-8 no good against K-6.

Not you going out, the office comment

Cong Khanh Le and Kuljinder Sidhu continue to spar. This time getting it all-in on a 9s 7h 6s board with 3d 3c and Ahrt 9h respectively, 9d and Ad on the turn and river put Sidhu even further ahead as he regains the vast majority of the chips he'd lost to Le earlier.

Rupinder Bedi is out. He lost with A-K against Jacks and then pushed Q-T from the small blind into the big blind's A-5. "He ran really badly today," said Rick Trigg.

chip counts for trigg,  leknave, james brunskill pls

Trigg -- 47k
James Brunskill -- 18k

LeKnave -- See below

Leknave raised preflop and blondeite Nirvana moved all-in from I think the small blind, they had about equal stacks of around 40k and LeKnave eventually called.

LeKnave: 7h 7d
Nirvana: Qs Qc

7s Ac Ahrt Ks 3d

Hence LeKnave up to about 80k and Nirvana left with fumes.

MBSFN to run like LeKnave !

ty floppy.

EZ game

Payouts:

1st -- £27,446
2nd -- £15,538
3rd -- £9,711
4th -- £6,756
5th -- £5,489
6th -- £3,800
7th -- £2,955
8th -- £2,111
9th -- £1,689
10th to 14th -- £1,182
14th to 18th -- £844
19th to 27th -- £450

Rich nearly cleared a hundo, but lost the flip for Mcd's so I had two big breakfasts and just binned one obv.

I won in the game, and Leknave unsuprisingly.


Rookie here btw.

floppy, can i get a photo and chip count of James 'AgentChip109' Edgington? cheers
 

Ahh didn't know he was Agent Chip.

any news on ant the champ arlott?????

Des Jonas is out.

Wei Cheng raises (I think all-in) from the big blind after a load of limpers. The second or third limper makes the call with 8c 8d. Wei Cheng shows erm...4s 2h

Kh 5c 3d 7s Ac

Cheng goes absolutely beserk screaming around the cardroom to the pint where practically everyone else in the cardroom is silent and looking at him slightly bemused

thats why i am at home, bingo!!!!

He's just gone, the cutoff limped and he pushed for 10k with K-9. The cutoff forced to call with 5c 4c and hit a flush.

thanks guys

Ship all the dimes to trigg plz!

Hope its a little calmer for you today Floppy.
A great update as ever.

Hope Trigg and Dave manage to convert today.

Win it all boys.

how many blondes left in?

Richard Sherwood has some far crazier "glasses", but maybe he hasn't felt like wearing them just yet.

How is he(aka Forrester) doing right now?

You haven't made much mention of him, even though he is one of your Blonde lot.

Please bear in mind there is one of me and about 90 players started today. About a third of these (at a rough guess) post on blonde so it's hard to cover everyone.

Habib Chatoo looks to be the chip leader with about 170k.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24522&g2_serialNumber=1)

Richard Berridge raises preflop and Will Fry makes the call from the big blind.

They check the A-J-3-3-9 board all the way to the river where Berridge bets 7,500. Fry folds and Berridge smirks, showing A-A.

He has about 20k, which means it's time to get busy given that it's 1.5k/3k blinds....*

*Unless you're Tikay.

Gary Orme moves all-in for 16.6k. Jim Peppercorn calls from the small blind, but then Will Fry moves all-in for about 27k and Peppercorn folds.

Fry: 9c 9s

Orme: Aspades Ts

Qd 7d 9h 3h 8c

Will Fry up to about 80k.

James Edgington aka AgentChip109 has knocked out Kujinder Sidhu after Sidhu pushed from the blinds with K-5 against the button raise from Edgington, holding 4-4. The flop seemingly favoured the short stack, coming Q-J-T but blanks on the turn and river put pay to his hopes and Edgington is back over 100k.

LeKnave is out. A-J into A-Q sb vs bb and then pushed for 39.5k on the button with A-6 but ran into the small blind's A-K.

Nirvana has managed a miraculous comeback from one blind. A bit of luck with A-T against Jim Moult's A-K but he's managed to recover and is back up to 80k.

Jim Moult is on 40k.

John Deeley raises preflop on the button and Garinder Purewal and Mark Craig call from the blinds.

4s 9h 7d

Check to the raiser, who bets a smallish 11k. Purewal calls and Craig folds.

Jd

Check check.

Jc

Check check.

Purewal shows 8c 8h and it's good. He's chopped two DTD £300's recently, can he do a third?

William Martin moves all-in preflop, Shane Fyffe moves all-in behind him and then so does Rick Trigg.

Martin: Ahrt Kd

Fyffe: Ac Qs

Trigg: Js Jh

9s Qd ("Yeeeeeeeeees!!!" screams Fyffe) Ks ("YEEEEEEEEEEEAH" screams Martin) 2c 4d...

Fyffe is eliminated and William Martin takes the pot and strikes a kind of boyband type pose in this photo. Trigg left with about 40k.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24526&g2_serialNumber=1)

Pete Singleton has been crippled after his A-K was rivered by A-7.

Nick Slade is out. His short stack was all-in with Ad Kd against Gavin Powell's Jh Jd and was quickly finished off on the Jc 2c 6h 8s 5d board.

I'm going to start referring to him as Icarus, Pete "Icarus" Linton.

Thanks for the update on R Sherwood.

Mark Craig raises to 9k from the hijack. Jim Peppercorn moves all-in from the cutoff for about 30k. The button folds and then Darren Pound reraises all-in for 90k. Jim Moult is in the big blind and thinks for ages about a call which would cost most of his stack...He eventually folds and Craig also releases his hand. Moult confesses he passed Queens but much to his chagrin Pound and Peppercorn (that sounds like a pub tbh) both flip A-K and the board runs out 8h 5h 8d Qh 5s. Jim looks a bit annoyed with himself.

Well he's on about 50k or so now.

I think I'll have my tea then....just wondered if I ought to wait for him!!
Thank you

Updates on Gavin Powell plz. ty

;bp;

Paul Newman raises to 10k. William Martin, now aflush with chips makes it 28k. Newman shoves for 130k. Instacall.

Newman: Jh Jc

Martin: Ad Ac

Ahrt Kh 6d Kd 2c

Martin has Newman just covered and is now the new chip leader with about 280k.

And the bubble burst before we can even play hand for hand!

James Edgington raises to 11k from UTG, Matt Cartwright makes it 42k from midposition, back to Edgington who moves all-in for 94.7k. Cartwright is forced to call.

Cartwright: Aspades Qs

Edgington: Kc Kh

8d 8s 5c 9h Ac

A cruel blow for AgentChip109 who becomes our bubble boy and was last seen heading outside. Presumably to vomit multiple times.

Just before the bubble we lost Richard Berridge, Pete Singleton and Garinder Purewal. The latter of these lamenting his bad luck, holding A-2 on an A-2-J board against A-K, the turn is a Jack. Then he has J-T on a Q-J-8 board vs A-8, the turn was an Ace.

Full chip counts coming in a couple of minutes.

ugh!

Waseed Ahmed goes out 27th. Aspades 2h into Jim Moult's Ad Qd, a Queen on the flop sealed it.

Paul Garnham went out next, short stacked as he was.

[ ] Bookiebasher running good in the £300 at DTD is a shock.

Snoops - tell him to get it won.

C'mon Dean, 'dozing time!

Just home from work and caught up. Mighty fine job your doing Lone Ranger Flopster. I would have come and been your slave for a day had I not have had to work.

Now can you go get full chip counts of all Blondes remaining with photo's and maybe the odd interview with a couple of the chip leaders for me to read and watch whilst I eat my tea. TY.   BTW there is no rush my Tea is

not ready for another 10 mins or so..

He has 135k atm. Just below average.

I was going to post the chip counts from the break, but we've lost 9 people since then, so when we go to two tables I'll do a full chip count myself.

Boooooooo Triggs out :(

Money Exits:

19   Gurpal Sehmi   £450
20   Mark Craig   £450
21   Marios Charalambous   £450
22   Andrew Papagergiou   £450
23   Alan Taddei   £450
24   Richard Trigg   £450
25   Richard Sherwood   £450
26   Paul Garnham   £450
27   Waseem Ahmed   £450

Yes, I was relocating to close to the remaining tables and Trigg pushed for 80k over the top of a raise with K-Q. He got called by eights and didn't spike.

Good work Floppy, blondes left are?

god i fucking hate poker

Rough counts, (there's a lot of low denomination chips)

14   1   Jim Peppercorn -- 96k
14   2   Anutr Amranand --  255k
14   3   Darren Pound -- OUT (see below)
14   4   Jim Moult -- 400k
14   5   Terry Arnold -- 60k
14   6   John Deeley -- 44k
14   7   Cong Khanh Le -- OUT (see below)
14   8   Sharbel Koumi -- 120k
14   9   Matt Cartwright -- 400k

15   1   Simon Lee -- 110k
15   2   William Fry -- 125k
15   3   Dean Pearson -- 80k
15   4   Gavin Powell -- 160k
15   5   Wei Cheng -- 200k
15   6   Gareth Compton -- 80k
15   7   Habib Chatoo -- 130k
15   8   William Martin -- 300k
15   9   Julian Lefevre -- 170k

Jim Moult is 'bookiebasher'. He's just knocked out Darren Pound with Queens against Jacks to put himself over 400k and probable chip leader.

Will Fry I don't think posts on blonde, but he's friends with a lot of Notts based blondes.

Cong Khanh Le is out, he ran 9s 7c into the tens of Darren Pound. (This happened before Pound's demise at the hands of Jim Moult)

Two more go.

Dean Pearson pushes the cutoff for 80k and Wei Cheng (him with 4-2 from earlier) tanks for ages from the small blind before calling with Ac Jd. Pearson shows a dominated Jc 7h.

8d Qc 6c Ahrt 3h board later and it's over.

On the other table Gareth Compton pushes with 5h 4h but runs into Matt Cartwright's 9d 9h.

Is rich still in the 150 floppy,thanks

wow 1 updater doing live updates 4 two tourneys? Noflops you'd be the greatest if u can tell me how kev smith is doing in the 150 (wearing a ridic white ski hat)

MBSFN to have that stack- forget colouring up!!!

Jim Peppercorn doubles through Jim Moult to 200k with Aspades Kc vs Kh Qd all-in preflop with the board coming out 7h 7c Js Ahrt Jd.

Moult down to 300k.

On the other table Gareth Compton goes out in 14th place when he runs Tens into Julian Lefevre's Aces.

Aren't I the greatest already? :(

He has about 37k with 20 left and the average being about 17,750.

Matt Cartwright bets 35k on a Qd 7h 5h board but gives up when Anutr Amranand pumps it up to 100k.

You've just overtaken Snoopy imho

William Martin makes it 22k on the button, but gives up Aspades 8c when Simon Lee moves all-in for additional 70.5k

Colour up and a break shortly.

On a break.

Jim Moult explained the hand where he regained much of his stack by getting very lucky in the 1.5k/3k level when UTG raised to 9k and the button moved in for about 50k with Nines. Jim shoved from the blinds with Kings for 40k and then UTG called with Aces.

The board ran out A-x-Q-J-T!

Snoopy is still my favourite.  ;ashamed;

Thebus is still my favourite.

Straight off the bat we lose John Deeley. 8d 7d into Anutr Amranand's Ac Qh with the board coming Ad Jh Ts 3s 3c. 12 left.

Chip counts at the break courtesty of DTD.

Jim Peppercorn   14   1   198,000
Anutr Amranand   14   2   255,000
William Fry           14   3   203,000
James Moult   14   4   386,500
John Deeley   14   6   78,000

Habib Chatoo   15   7   150,800
William Martin   15   8   348,000
Julian Lefevre   15   9   318,000

Julian Lefvere raises to 35k from early position, UTG+1 or the hijack, depending on how you want to view it. Simon Lee moves all-in next to him and Lefvere gives up very quickly. Lee shows Th Tc

Oooh, that Mr Matt Cartwright is a lucky boy.

He raised to 23k from the cutoff, only for Will Fry to reraise from the big blind to 65k with about 155k back.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24534&g2_serialNumber=1)

After a minute or two Cartwright moves all-in. Fry instantly calls.

Cartwright: Jd Td

Fry: Kc Kh

6c 4d Ad 3d 7c

The second monster pot today where Cartwright has cracked Kings. Looks like this could be his day.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24536&g2_serialNumber=1)

Gavin Powell is out in 11th place, Sevens into Habib Chatoo's Aces. We're now hand for hand.

Did Fry say something like "that never would have happened in an EPT. DTD fish!" and walk off?

And Jim Moult goes out in 10th place. He must have lost a couple of pots while I was writing up the other hands as he reraised all-in with A-9 from the big blind against Jim Peppercorn's button raise. Peppercorn proved too spicy with Tens to win I think a 400k pot leaving Moult with only 5k left which went in the next hand to Matt Cartwright

We now have a final table!

No he said got what he wanted, fairly philosophical about it (something an EPT champ can afford that the rest of us can't). Of course that hasn't stopped him telling all his mates in the £75 event about how unlucky he was!

Cartwright thought that because Fry took so long to reraise he didn't have a big hand.

Final Table:

Wei Cheng   -- 116,000
Habib Chatoo -- 356,500
Simon Lee -- 93,000
William Martin -- 545,000
Sharbel Koumi -- 238,000
Matthew Cartwright -- 385,000
Anutr Amranand -- 318,000
Jim Peppercorn -- 535,000
Julian Lefevre -- 301,000

update on Kev Smith in £150?

Unlucky Jim.   Another cash in the £300.  Thought you might win this one though.

Snoops, "It looks like he's wearing one of those sex-blindfold things..."

Julian Lefevre limps, William Martin makes up and Sharbel Koumi checks.

3h 6c 2d

Checked around.

Jh

Still checked around.

Qd

Checked to Koumi who bets 30k. Lefevre flat-calls and William Martin folds Jc face up saying, "this ain't no good."

Koumi shows 5h 4c for the nuts. Lefevre apparently called with Q-J for top two. Anyone think both missed out on some value on there?

Wei Cheng moves all-in for 87k. Matt Cartwright calls on the button. Jim Peppercorn thinks about it for a moment in the big blind, but decides it's too salty for him.

Cartwright: Jh Jd

Cheng: Errrm...3h 2s

Th 9d 5h 6d Qs

Wei Cheng is OUT in 8th place winning £2,111

William Martin min-raises the button and Matt Cartwright calls from the big blind.

Cartwright checks, Martin bets a very suspiciously small 26k and Cartwright quickly folds.

William Martin limps UTG for 12k, Anutr Amranand follows suit from the cutoff. But then Jim Peppercorn spoils the party...or does he? He makes it 40k which is less a raise than a pot sweetner. Habib Chatoo folds in the big blind but the limpers call, and the pot is getting big with almost 150k in there...

Kc 8s Jd

Checked around. No-one want what is basically 5% of the chips in play.

7s

Checked to Peppercorn who (pepper) sprays 75k into the middle. It's enough to win the pot.

lol peppercorn, playing a 37k stack raised to 3600 and called my 3bet to 9800 with J8h and called off on the xh xh x flop. Gl him

On a K-8-K board, Anutr Amranand bets 50k and Habib Chatoo raises to 122k. Call. But that's the end of that action as they check the turn 2 and river 2 down. Amranand shows Th 8h to win at showdown.

Anutr Amranand limps in the small blind for 12k. Jim Peppercorn makes it an additional 45k. Amranand moves all-in for what must be nearly 600k which seems utterly crazy because they are the two biggest stacks on the table. Peppercorn folds.

I'm completely baffled by that hand.

The superoverbet final table.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24556&g2_serialNumber=1)

From actionman's account of peppercorn, it sounds like the man likes to see a flop.

If Anutr had a decent read that peppercorn was weak, the push looks to be a good play.

imo

Rough Chip Counts.

Habib Chatoo -- 230k
William (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1430) Martin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1430) -- 520k
Sharbel Koumi -- 145k
Matthew Cartwright -- 350k
Anutr Amranand -- 650k
Jim Peppercorn -- 820k
Julian Lefevre -- 197k

Does a reraise to 200k not do the same thing? Seems an awfully big risk for your whole stack when second in chips against the only player who can knock you out if you're wrong.

He might flat the 200k with mince though, just as he flatted actionmans 3 bet earlier on

On the turn of an 8s Kh Aspades Qc board, Jim Peppercorn bets 70k and Matt Cartwright raises to 150k.

Peppercorn thinks for a couple of minutes before folding Aspades 8c face up.

Odds of Peppercorn's every single bet on any flop/turn being virtually min-raised everytime from now on?

lol he must be laddering to fold here after what we saw earlier from him

Greeting all again from the BAHAMAS!!!!
Malc-m

great updates thanks

come on will lets ship this , 10% ftw.

[ ] cash games at DTD are quite hard

There's a fair crowd gathering and no-one wants to look like silly with all that pressure. Plus the hero fold is the new hero calll. ;)

Julian Lefevre who slipped below 200k moves all-in and Habib Chatoo makes the call for almost half his stack.

Lefevre: 4c 4d

Chatoo: Jc Tc

Qs Ks Kh (Not a great start for 4-4)...Ts...Qc

Some guy on the rail shouts, "Split pot! It's a split pot," until it's pointed out that Chatoo's Kings and Queens with a Jack kicker wins.

Someone murmurs behind me, "And that's why you're on the rail."

Julian Lefevre is out in 7th place winning £2,955

This is the guy who knocked me out of the sattelite at DTD the other night, he loves small connectors.

Habib Chatoo limps for 16k on the cutoff. William Martin raises to 50k on the button. The blinds fold and Chatoo shows the Aspades and folds.

Is that akin to putting on a red shirt in Star Trek?

Habib's nickname in my old gala days was 'The caller' which may give a bit of an insight into his game. Jack Ten is also his favourite hand and will not fold it. ever.

Really nice man.

Great updates guys. Looks like Martin should have this one on lock.

what stack has matt cartwright and shah got?

No wonder none of you are posting. Whenever any of you mention a player they get busted!

Anutr Amranand raised preflop and Chatoo makes the call.

Ks Ts 8d

Chatoo checks, Amranand bets 75k and Chatoo moves all-in for about 500k. Amranand calls sharpish with the royal flush drawing Aspades Js against Chatoo's Kh 9s.

7c

No help.

4s

Habib Chatoo is out in 6th place winning £3,800

Amranand looks to be the first player over the 1 million mark, and has more tha 1/3 of the chip in play with five players remaining.

Matt Cartwright -- 650k
Sharbel Kouami -- 220k (He's the shortstack)

15 minute break for the players. And me. :)

Cheers Sloppy :)

thx for the stack updates

No deals agreed. Anutr Amranand apparently not happy with what he would be getting as chip leader.

Chip counts:

William Martin -- 446k
Sherbel Koumi -- 318k
Matt Cartwright -- 690k
Anutr Amranand -- 1.413 million
Jim Peppercorn -- 518k

Deal discussion continue as we play.

Anutr Amranand was happy to do a chip count deal which would've netted everyone at least £10k with him taking £18k but William Martin wants to leave something to play for, so it doesn't look like that would happen.

While the deal goes on. Jim Peppercorn raises to 80k on the button. Sharbel Koumi moves all-in. Deal discussion continues.

Peppercorn folds Jc Jh face up.

I think he wants to do a deal right now...

wat

just lol

Well it's getting a bit farcical now. They've been arguing out a deal for about 15 minutes and it's not seemingly getting anywhere. I don't think William Martin is totally convinced to deal but some of the others seem desperate. Either way I hope they hurry up, there's been about 3 hands this level including that Jacks fold which was obviously caused by all the discussion. I hope they decide to sort it in the next few minutes or just carry on playing.

Interesting sidepoint, would Tikay fold the Jacks?

tikay would slowroll the Jacks and then call and flip his cards while simulataneously standing up and shouting BOOM!

Would you?

A £10k deal to Peppercorn, Koumi, Martin with £11k for Cartwright and £14k for Amranand with I think £9k to play for was proposed.

Simon Trumper asked Jim Peppercorn and Sharbel Koumi if they were both happy with the deal and both said they were. William Martin said he wasn't happy, and if people are folding jacks to a 3-bet five-handed, then you can see why he wants to continue. So now we are playing...

Fair play to the boy and good luck to him.

Agree if they're playing scared he should not deal! GL to him

Button vs big blind and given that you've shown you're prepared to fold a big hand like aces up to a small reraise should widen the range of your opponent significantly if they think can make you fold almost anything other than the nuts.

And even if none of the above was occuring, I would still call super fast.

But Jim clearly wants to consolidate and take home a decent score, which is his choice.

I think if we could get that on film it would be the greatest thing ever...

LOL @ the JJ fold.

The others should crushhhh.

And now they've agreed a deal of £10k for everyone except Anutr Amranand who gets £14k with just under £11k more for the winner.

And with that, Jim Peppercorn moves all-in for 600k (about 30BB's) with 4-4 and Matt Cartwright calls with A-Q

2-K-Q-3-2

Jim Peppercorn is out in 5th place winning £10,000

[  ] gg

OMG

Im lost for words, kids a bit special.

William Martin raises to 65k from the cutoff/UTG. Anutr Amranand moves all-in from the big blind and Martin snap-calls.

Martin: Ahrt Th

Amranand: 6c 7c

2c 2s 8s 5s 8h

Martin gets a big double up, propelling himself to chip leader and over the million mark, Amranand has about 400k left.

This is why deals are generally bad for poker imo

The players are now completely making up for the vast amount of inactivity we've had in this level...

Raiseallincall.

Yes it was that quick between William Martin and Sharbel Koumi...

Koumi: Ac Kd

Martin: Qh Qd

Kc Ad 5s 9c Ks

And Koumi now doubles up and everyone is a lot closer to even again...

 ;gobsmacked;

OMFG

ladies and gentlemen of blonde poker


The Games are still goooooooot

William Martin raises to 65k. Sharbel Koumi moves in for a million. Everyone folds.

And people say deals kill the skill of the game. Pah! ::)

Seriously if there's an advert for no deal's this is it. 2 days of well structured poker- suddendly it's winner takes all so everyone just starts moving in

Chip counts:

William Martin -- 650k
Sharbel Koumi -- 850k
Matt Cartwright -- 1.2 million
Anutr Amranand -- 300k.

+1 martin and cartwright are half decent, why on gods green earth did they deal?

they should have all took 5th place and left the rest for 1st place, that would have been fun ;-)

Sharbel Koumi raises to 174k on the button (yes, the blinds are 12k/24k, yes that is not a typo, I feel like I should write it out in letters like the old vidiprinter on Grandstand when one team beat another by a really large number of goals). Matt (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=271) Cartwright (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=271) moves all-in. Koumi calls.

Koumi: Kh Kc

Cartwright: Ac Jc

9h Jh 2c Qh 3d

And now Koumi is the big chip leader with about 1.7 million chips and Cartwright is nearly as short as Amranand.

Richard Kellett was begging Martin not to deal, to the point where Simon Trumper had to kindly ask him to be quiet...

£10k is a lot of dough to matt, after all he's on a teachers salary, gl to him anyway, hope he wins with will martin to come second, or even better the two of then chop the extra

Funnily enough, I was updating solo the last time he had a big score which was the Grosvenor Grand Prix in 2006. I think he came second to Zippy Aslam there.

When he said DEAL it actually put me on life tilt, i was even trying to buy half of this action for £6000.

that fold of  Jh Js was the most astonishing thing ive ever seen

Matt (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=271) Cartwright (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=271) who has been blinded down to just 175k shoves from the button and Martin makes the call in the big blind.

Cartwright: Qs Js

Martin: Ac Th

Ts 2h Kd 5h Jc

A double-up for Cartwright, he's still short though.

This might not be poker anymore, but it's more entertaining than listening to them all bicker for twenty minutes about money. If I wanted to listen to that, I would've gone home to visit my family for a couple of hours... ;)

Sharbel Koumi makes it 256k on the button...

Cartwright and Amranand fold speedily.

Next hand and Amranand pushes from the small blind for about 250k. William Martin, who has about 600k back, decides not this time and folds.

William Martin raises the button. Matt Cartwright moves all-in from the big blind. A quick call.

Martin: Ks Qh

Cartwright: Ahrt Kd

4s Th 2h 7h Kc

And now Matt Cartwright doubles up again to about 700k. William Martin drops to about 300k.

And Martin gets the chips back...

He pushes with Qh 9h and Cartwright calls with 5s 5d

8s 7c 6s Ac Ts

"Bink!!!!" shouts Richard Kellett as the river comes down.

Bink indeed.

The final four, ecstatic to still be here.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24558&g2_serialNumber=1)

Not meaning to sound bitter and twisted or anything, but I will.  How in hell's great ass did this Cheng person make it all the way to 8th and £2k??

He was the villian who made a shocking play V MOI Kings pre flop to knock me out with 3 5 yesterday.  Today he was heard screaming and shouting when his he reraised all in with 2 4 and found himself against Aces (pattern forming here!) only to see an A 3 5 flop!  Then THIS!

[ ] some players are great at deal making

Short break.

Ok, we're back. Looks like the HU will be Koumi vs Cartwright or Martin at the moment.

chip stacks plz?

There's now a pattern emerging...

Sharbel just makes it 200k preflop every hand. We (well, Martin and Cartwright) are just waiting to find a hand...

lol this is the funniest live update I think I've ever read

Martin tries to raise preflop to about 90k from the small blind. Koumi just sets him in. Martin folds. It's now shove or find a hand I guess...

Smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel is really helping me at this point. :)

how is this 8x'er chip leader in this tournament.

looool

Sharbel Koumi raises, but this time it's different. He makes it 230k... William (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1430) Martin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1430) clearly knows something is up with this...and folds.

Or maybe he had junk again, who knows...

William Martin and Matt Cartwright get it all-in preflop and this time Koumi who has raised every hand somehow folds eights.

Martin: Kh Th

Cartwright: Ac 3d

Qc 5h 9h 4c Jc

The Martin river binkage continues...he doubles and Cartwright is the superduper shorty now.

Koumi raises again, he makes it 280k this time...Cartwright calls off his 250k stack and Martin folds.

Actually this hand was going to unavoidable...

Koumi: Th Ts

Cartwright: Kd Kc

9h 5h 3s Jd Ac

Cartwright back over 500k or as I might start calling it, 'A Double Koumi raise'.

Why is William Martin wearing a Cricket Tank Top?

ye m8

You'll be delighted to know that the £10k saved for 1st and previously split £7k and £3.9k for 1st and 2nd, is now £5940, £3,000 and £2,000 for the top three places.

if they are guna keep changing it why not just chop!!!

(http://seacat.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/bush_confused2.jpg)

Koumi has now stopped raising anything. In fact, they've all stopped raising or doing anything other than minbetting at any point. The dynamic has swung from a 30BB AIPF shovefest to a cautious limpathon...

But that's not the worst thing...The worst thing is, I really need the loo, but I can't go atm. :(

DEAL........

(http://bwithers.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/albums-a59-penguinking3-fail.jpg)

Yes!!

Everyone get on the 'Save Homer's Bladder' bandwagon please.

I think DTD had it right when they only allowed chip count deals,
perhaps they should go back to that format.

I also think if they make it a £50k guarantee every month they will get the same numbers turning up...

great event, great structure, I'm off to bed now....so

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ON BLONDE

ye i agree this event will only grow now! only suggestion play more levels on day 1 as busting after a few hours of day 2 with no cash sucked!!!

(http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/project_images/insurancespecialists/tap-dripping.gif)

Matt Cartwright moves all-in from the small blind. Call from William Martin.

Martin: Ac Ts

Cartwright: Ahrt 7d

5s 8s 9h 7h Qs

And with that river, Cartwright doubles up again...

William Martin pushes his sorry remnants of a stack in the middle. Koumi makes the call.

Martin: 5c 5d

Koumi: Tc 9c

2c 9d Qd Js 2h

William Martin is OUT in 3rd and wins £12,000

And heads-up has already begun! Aren't they meant to have a quick break!!?!?!?  >:( >:( >:(

Anyone got a colostomy bag?

Sharbel Koumi -- 2 million
Matt Cartwright -- 1 million

guests that read these updates and dont sign up are like people that eat all the free samples of cheese at the supermarket and dont leave none for no one else

The first four hands are all walks before Matt Cartwright wins the first set of blinds with a raise to 115k.

Quick break.

I feel very refreshed and play is about to restart... :)

Koumi raises to 175k. Shove from Cartwright and...............fold!

Koumi shows an ace as he mucks. Then so does Cartwright.

Oh those wacky funsters! Whatever will they think of next?

Matt Cartwright is now seemingly out-Koumi-ing Koumi. He's pushed twice versus sizeable raises and got them through, and now he's just open-pushed for about 1.5 million from the button/small blind to win the blinds and antes once more. They're basically even at this point.

A rarity in this 20k/40k/4k level. A limped pot.

The flop is Ahrt 8d 6s.

Cartwright checks, Koumi bets 200k. Fold.

Another of the now obviously more common occurences, another limped pot.

Ad 9h 7d

Check check.

8c

Cartwright goes to check and knocks over his entire stack of 25k chips. I try and think of a way to work this into a joke like, "That's the most big chip action I've seen in ages, ho ho ho!" but can't think of one. Koumi checks behind.

6d

Cartwright bets 125k. Fold from Koumi.

Snoopy has gone home, Jen is playing some lairy PLO game with Richard Rudling-Smith amongst others.

Cartwright has taken over the chip lead with about 1.7 million to 1.3 million

I am, well what Snoops would say, absolutely cream crackered.

To those who stayed up this late to read everything to it's conclusion, I salute your courage and stamina.

To those reading this tomorrow, bunch of sappy lightweights!

See you at the next update!!!

;stickaforkinme;

gg wp

good updates despite being on your own and me trying to tilt your brain at every opportunity.

You can't tilt me, I'm bolt-proof. Also, my little brother is waaaaay more annoying than you.

Cheers for the updates. Been a while since i've read one.

yoyo cheers big chap, live it up

Great updates..vwd Flops.

I reckon we should post this entire FT on the PHA forum under the header "See, kids? This is why we shouldn't do deals"

If deals make people play so recklessly, surely they favour better players.  For instance the final hand of 88 vs A6; an easy trap to set against a hugely over-betting player. wp

the deal done here didn't favour the better players..(as the play after the deal was done proves)

Granted it seemed a bit of a joke from the updates.  But what I'm saying is that whether a deal is done or not, some players adjust incorrectly to the prize structure and this favours better players.  Whether this manifests in the JJ fold or the x million BB shove with 44 after the deal.
Cheers,
E.B

It's a fair point Mr. Kid.

I imagine the player in question would give away more equity in plays like the JJ fold pre-deal than in stuff like the 30BB shove afterwards though.

The oppurtunity to nibble at their stacks and gain chips with less risk etc. being lost after the deal.

I dunno, it's an interesting one.

Thanks for the updates.

Great updates Snoops :)up

Great updates!!

Well played Matt and a great start to the New Year

Great thread Dewi  :)

Great updates Snoops  :)

God only knows Maria

Was such a shame to, put an end to Trigg's singing!

I was on his table from the start till he knocked me out at 3am. (He actually had a respectable hand!)

We had him down to 3k in about an hour of it starting, unfortunately he made it all back and more.

Surprised he didnt win it to be honest, seems to be the way it works!  ;)

Hope that's not a preview of your new wardrobe Trigg

Geo

Colour me bad.
Of course.

Think the Shazam text was the highlight of the night. 'Please do not sing into the phone'

Well played.......... again  ;D

 Fantastic marathon Flops. ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

Oh my days, yeah gg 80's.  I wasn't far off with Millie Vanilli lol.  Yeah the Trigg singathon was quality, never without is he.  Finally - was that you Stuart on my left?  I had no idea, should have introduced yourself mate.  Mind you I didn't have too long to settle in.....pah lol.  Not bitter anymore.

Also excellent update Floppy considering your lonesomeness.  I also appologies for my boob ramblings  ;)

FYP

Kudos to Floppy for his solitary efforts.

Thanks all, but especially Simon, Nick and all the peeps at DTD for everything.

I think plans to draft in extra dealers next month are already afoot...

Ah sorry, yeah that was me looking after the invisible blokes chips. Yeah you werent there long but you bought some much needed laughter to the table, it had been v dull upto then. Ill introduce myself properly next time I see you.  :D

Glad to be of service Stuart.

Great updates in difficult circumstances(1st couple of hours) - sorry if Mrs Forresrer was harrassing you for chipcounts - she was more excited than me.
