blonde poker forum

Hello and welcome to the DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) £300 Monthly or as it's known at the cash desk at 5.30pm by many irate fellows as, "Sold out already? What do you mean it's sold out already? How can it be sold out already?"

Yes, we have 333 players already, so for those who had <333 in the book quiz on the GD board, you're all losers. Big losers. Who smell of poop.

Obviously we're on alternatives now, but people who have set the final total of runners in amongst the 360 mark, I believe you will be the closest to winning, and hence not quite smelling so bad.

Numerous blondes are here, list of them and the rest of the players to come shortly.

Play will start at 7pm

Off the top of my head good luck to Kev Smith, Byron Greenhow, Tom Rutter (if he got in), Maria Demitriou, Jason Wheatley and all blondes!

is it just me or is this thread about 6 from the top ???

looking forward to the updates Floopy.

Updates on TommyFkinC, Guy Johnson,Trigg, Maria and and other blondes playing plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

gogogoogo win the lot.

Oh dear, I've just got here this minute because I was under the impression that it started at 8. Marvellous.

Anyway, turns out it starts at 7, which is now, so shuffle up and deal! Gl all, whoever might be playing - to be reported shortly.

Yeh updates on the above as and when poss no flops :)

Updates for Ben Vinson if at all possible ty!!

GL Newportlad (for the win!) and all the other Blondes playing.

Exit within 10 minutes.

A board reading Jc 6h Td Qd 4c. The action on the river between two Mateys (soon to be named) goes bet 500, raise to 2,500. Reraise to 5,500. All-in and call from the second player who says with a sigh, "Chop it up..." flipping Aspades Ks. Player one shows Kh Jh as James (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=184) Atkin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=184) and 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) look aghast...

"Guess he really wanted to play on the cash tables..."

Some bint with a camera has done me up like a kipper.

That is all.

Caught on film with a large plate of food in front you perchance?

Early exiteer was Nadim Sarwar.

Lazaroonie raises a 250 bet to 1,100 on the river of a 9d 2h Jc Th 5s board. He's quickly called but shows K-Q to win.

Mad Turk bets 800 on the turn and 1,200 on the river of a board of 7c 3d 7s 6s 2s with Reyaaz Mulla calling him down very quickly on both streets. Mad Turk shows Td 7d and Mulla mucks.

Richard Hawes raises to 150 and gets three callers including the blinds.

2s 9h 2d

Checked to Hawes who bets 400, just the big blind calls.

8s

Check, 800 this time. Call.

Qd

Now the big blind bets out 1,000 and Hawes raises to 3,300 with a quick call. Hawes points to big blind who flips 5d 2h and Hawes mucks.

Goooooo Tommy Rutter

Oh dear, poor old One Eye Rumit may be One Level Rumit today - he's down to around 3k after an Incident. He wouldn't elaborate except to tell me that the chips went to the gent in seat two, and Rumit mucked. "I can play a short stack," said a philosophical Rumit. "I'm used to it. I think."

Just an hour gone and only 4 exits so far, the outbreak of complete and unadulterated spewtardery has so far not occurred.

334   Alli Mallu
335   Andreas Olympios
336   James Hart
337   Nadim Sarwar

Nakor has passed Aces after raising to 200, getting one call and betting 400 on a Qd Qc Td flop. He was raised to 4,000(!) and gave it up.

Meanwhile on Table Trigg/Mallu, which I admit sounds like a dreadful folk song refrain, but not involving the recently departed Mr Mallu, Chris Rhodes has been doing rather well, taking a very hefty pot off of Ceri Rees. The 2c 9s Qs 5d 3s board looked good for Rees holding Aspades Qd, but Rhodes was holding Kh Kc and dashed Rhodes' quuenly dreams.

And in homage to the table as a whole, the no-longer-in Mr Mallu:

Looking across the room, I am struck by how much poker players sort of look a bit the same. Sure, there's the occasional lady, perhaps a hoodie or baseball cap that's shinier or more offensive than the others, but today's Award for Services to Fashion in Poker goes to this guy, one Mr Vincent Anderson. He looks, well, pimpin'.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25568&g2_serialNumber=1)

I expect to see a blonde win this :)

Does he have a pair of crocodile heads for shoes?

A monstrous pot developed not long ago between DTD oft-winner Chris Bruce and DTD oft-do-weller Chin Koh. There was only around 1.6k in the pot as the river was dealt, but a raising war saw (I believe) Brucey bet out, Koh raise to 3.625k and Brucey reraise to 5.5k. "I don't mind being the next one out," said Koh, but the immense dwell said otherwise. He attempted to get the dealer to deal more cards, specifically the Ahrt he felt would be of benefit to him, but she refused and he eventually laid it down.

Brucey showed an enigmatic Jh, and got himself off to a nice start on around 15k.

Like my cat (may she rest in peace) Brucey smiles even when he's sleeping:

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25552&g2_serialNumber=1)

Yet to be determined. I feel that sticking my head under the table while people are playing rather undermines my dignity.

wtf has Stuart Hopkin been up to looks like a black eye from here? Updates please  :)

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25522&g2_serialNumber=1)

Get back to the Racing Post if you please lol.

4.5 hours reading  the RP today...I hate cheltenham.

maybe he had a punch up with kellester??

He says he got it because Red Dog cracked his aces that hard. Red Dog had limped with Th 8h, and a third player raised to 600 with Stuart flatting and Red Dog also called. The flop came 6-7-9, checked to the OR who bet 600, Stuart raised to 2,000 and Red Dog made it 4,000. OR folded, Stuart called but then folded to a push on the 4 turn.

Nakor is out. 4-4 into K-K after he got short.

Let's hope we all reap the rewards next week then.

Mr Greekstein related an interesting tale of donkage to me from his table. It seems that two mateyboys limped in and a third Mateyboy, holding aces, raised. The flop came down 8-7-3 and it checked around to Aceyboy, who bet. A flurry of raising between Matey One and Aceyboy resulted in Matey One snap-calling all in with...


...8-9.


Hurrah! No further eights or nines fell on the turn or river, and off he went.

LOL i have seen a picture of Kellster, Stuart would have to have been blind drunk for him to stand a hope........oh wait.

Can AnyOne Give Me A Chip Count 4 Barry Neville Please

A short-stacked Mr Richard Hawes and his youthful visage have enjoyed a much-needed double up.

With the flop reading Kh 8s 6s, George Kyriacou checked to Linden Rowland, who bet 1k. Hawes promptly made it All In for 2.8k, and back to Kyriacou, who promptly called. With just a moment of hesitation, Rowland laid it down and they were on their backs.

Hawes: Kd Qd
Kyriacou: 3s 4s

Turn: 3d
River: 7c

Hawes evens the scores, and it won't be early doors for him tonight.

He has been Seen, and will soon be Counted. Bear with me please...

Good luck to all the blondes!!!! 

upates on trigg, tommyc, guy johnson + james atkin pls.

glglgl you 4.

booder, Laz and Laz's brother updates please.

Could we have an update on Tommy "The Putter" Rutter please?

Any chance of knowing the board in this hand, it might make it rather more interesting.

Assorted Countings Of Chip Stacks

Rough and ready:


Barry Neville: 17k
Julian "Thewrious" Thew: 14k
Chris Bruce: 15k
Rick Trigg: 4.5k ("It's all crap.")
Tracey Dell: 10k
Chili: 8.2k
Anthony Romanello: 19k
Michael Greco: 13k
Dave Colclough: 7k

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25550&g2_serialNumber=1)

Oh yeah, I'm a bit out of practice. So hard to remember what game they're playing...

The board was, most interestingly, 4h 3h 5s 8h Jd. Apologies.

Tasos (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2482) Grigoriou (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2482) raises to 3,000 preflop. (Three Thousand - In honour of the old Grandstand vidiprinter which typep out the number of goals when it got to silly high numbers). Ali Noor moves all-in and gets called.

Grigoriou: Qc Qh

Noor: Ks Kc

9s 7s 5s......Qd.....6c

Bink. Ali is Noor more.

thanks for the chip count   good luck baz

Rick Trigg has 3k.

"I'm too impatient for live poker."

He also made a good point about why perhaps so few players have been knocked out so far, because most of them have bought in online and therefore all the so-called 'live value' haven't been able to get in this month.

The only good thing to come from this weekend will be the

StuartHopkin "Rate my Eye Thread" and associated stories.

Chips counts on Kevin Smith, Byron Greenhow, Jason Wheatley and Daniel Ward plz if possible?

Thanks both :)

The below gentleman, who wishes to be known only as SKULLMAN (capitals my own, but it seems appropriate somehow), is, by the power of Greyskull, doing rather well. He's on over 30k and thus a contender for the chip lead, far as we can see.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25561&g2_serialNumber=1)

I arrive as Table Greekstein to see its namesake calling a short stack all in preflop. All in shows Aspades Ac -- and Greekstein shows a rather lacklustre Kd Qh. "Er, look over there," says Greekstein desperately, to no avail. I see every card of the Ts 8h 8d 8s 7c board, and All In stays in. "Oh well, I still have 9k," said the Greekstein cheerfully. "He was on tilt, you see, he'd lost three big pots and we knew he was going to shove..."

Quiz time:

Red Dog is playing about 13k. Op has him covered.

UTG limps. UTG+1 raises to 600 (75/150). Red Dog raises to 2,000 with Kings. UTG folds.

6-7-8

Check to Mr Dog who bets 3,000. UTG+1 raises to 6,000. Push or fold?

hi 5 time

get it in ffs....obv he passed though !!

Obviously push and get ready to play on the cash tables.

If Red shoves he gets shown aces ... if he passes matey has Jacks  :)


I shove fwiw ... im not good enough to lay down kings on that flop.

Push and expect him to have a smaller overpair most of the time.

Jason Pickering bets 350 into a 9s 6h 9h Ad 9d board and Michael Greco raises to 1,850. Pickering declares he has a full house before taking a couple of minutes to fold 4d 4h face up. This action forces a bemused look on Greco's face as though some sort of cliched soap-standard dilemma was hitting his character, setting up a new character arc which would go on for a couple of months before dissolving shabbily though still winning pointless trophies at the 'National Soap Awards' (which is only set up because they're never going to win TV awards that encompass the whole medium of TV despite the latter's general shiteness)...

But I digress. The Grecster wins the pot, yay!

gl gl gl to all Blondes playing today

Players are on a 10 minute break, and Maggie said we could have dinner on DTD. :)

I'm afraid requestaments are getting a wee bit difficult unless you can show me a photo or otherwise prove to me that the requested people exist, what with them all moving around and busting out and whatnot. Will check the blondepediable ones after the break, obv.

Meanwhile please enjoy this photo of Poochie Plinton, or the artist formerly known as Pete Linton, currently enjoying his 9k stack.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25541&g2_serialNumber=1)

Red passed and got shown A-T. I can't see how he's ever behind here unless villain makes bad call preflop in which case we've done nothing wrong.

if he can call with AT whats to stop him calling with 6-6, 7-7, 8-8? nice bluff :)? (though virtually no-one folds in this spot) - cant blame Tom for it though - very tough spot! i think i would probably pass too

or surely it is also right to flat with aces here preflop?

I knew he would pass....no bottle to put chips in unless he has the nuts imo!!!!

ghey fold imo

lol i cant see how it is ever a fold

Chip count for Darren Shallis please?

GL Newportlad!

Go on the Blondes!!

If UTG+1 makes bad calls/raises preflop surely it's more likely than not he'll make similar moves post flop too? He might have 7/1 on implied odds to make the call preflop with a medium pair but he needs more otherwise he has to stack him everytime postflop, which invariably never happens. Also, once you've put in 5k from 13k I don't see how you can fold.

Also if he had Tom beat would he not re shove to protect his hand on this board?

TBH if he's played aces this way then I'm going broke

Also, once you've put in 5k from 13k I don't see how you can fold.

John Conroy -- 5k
Rumit -- OUT, I saw him departing the table vs a K-5-J-7-4 board to his opponent's 6-8.
 
Tom Rutter raised with A-K and saw a A-Q-9 flop, where his opponent check/raised his 675 bet to 1,800. Rutter made the call but passed to a 2,400 bet on the turn, his opponent only having 4,000 behind.

Chip count for Shaun King Pls Tbl 26 seat 3

Another Red Dog hand for you.

UTG raises to 700. Red Dog calls in midposition with A-K. Everyone else folds.

K-x-x

UTG checks, Red Dog bets 1,500. UTG raises to 3,500. Both players have about 15k. Your move?

I'd flat and fold to any pressure on the turn. Hand is too under repped to give up on the flop. Obv depends on flop texture too

Following on from that just marvellous photo I took of Chili earlier, I give you:

LADYWATCH


Ms Maria Karanikki:

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25524&g2_serialNumber=1)


Also, Ms Tania Narine:

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25583&g2_serialNumber=1)


Both players seem to be on around their original starting, er, stacks.

I found Mr Kevin Smith, remarkably un-skierlike and full of hate for no-one as far as I can see. He's on around 6k at the moment, plus the blinds he nicked while I was watching. He raised to 600 utg and it folded around - much to his disappointment, as he turned over pocket jacks.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25582&g2_serialNumber=1)

Alan Stearn, still unable to dispel rumours that he is descended from ants.

Thanks Dana with your awesome detective skills :)

Go Shallis and Dingdell!!

Also on the lady front, we have Chili down to just 4.3k and making faces every time I stroll past her table, and Tracy Dell on around 7k.

And for the sake of gender/species balance, in Manwatch, we have Ben (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=47) Vinson (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=47) on a healthy 20k, while in Dogwatch, the Red One is on a tasty 13k.

 :respect:

Ralph "Karabiner" Shalson has enjoyed, in his own words, "a miracle".

With only around 5.5k to his name, he raised with pocket jacks and found a caller in Rana "Been On A Really Good Run And Has All The Chips" Gurnam on the button.

The flop came something like 6-2-9 and Karabiner bet out. Gurnam flat-called. Come the equally low and unthreatening turn, Karabiner thought something along the lines of, "oh f*** it," and went all in. A snap call, and Gurnam turned over pocket sixes for a flopped set.

River: jack

Karabiner up to 11k or so.

Insert own caption as appropriate:

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25539&g2_serialNumber=1)


Despite this minor setback, I declare Mr Gurnam our Current Chip Leader - storming ahead on around 45 or 50k.

A double up for Ms Andrea Gough, in one way or another (missed that bit) getting it in with Kd Td on a three-diamond board against Mateyboy's 3d 7d. An impassive Ms Gough up to 14k; a very dejected Matey within millimetres of the felt on just 4k.

Chip Count for Shaun King Tbl 26 seat 3 pls

We're working on it, we are we are. Soon you shall receive...

Peter Charalalamamamaambolous is out. All-in for 1,975 with Qd 9d, he couldn't compete with 9c 9h on a 8h 8d 8c Tc Ac board.

Anthony Romanello is also out.

Tom Rutter, "A short stack raised to 700 and got a couple of callers and I reraised to 4k to isolate with 7-7 (Opponent had 4.2k) he thought for about 2 minutes asking me if I would pass if he shoved! The two callers didn't look interested, finally he shoved and I call the rest. I showed my Sevens and he sighed then showed Kings! I'm glad he got knocked out with K-K vs A-A soon after..."

Thank you

just got bombed out of the £50.00 tourney, started at 8pm with 31 alternates!!!! aj suited raised preflop, re raise by a muppett on pocket 5 and i push my 7k in and he calls for all his chips!!!! no ace no jack, mobbed out there tonight.

O.K. Dad youve had your eggs, now bring home the bacon!                                                                                        GOOOO RED DOG!

He can't, he ate it all already. That Red Dog, always eating...

MrAlex2u is out. "I had set over set in the 5th hand of the tournament and was grinding ever since."

He'll be so mad when he reads that and rightly so. You'll have to hope he spills his crumbs over his iPhone.

Announcement Of The Day

"Taxi for Fish at reception, taxi for Fish."

Everyone gets up and heads for the door...

Yes yes, lol typoments.

Good news Kevin Smith fans.

No, not a sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, but an impressive leap from 6k at the last count to 26k now. He tripled up with pocket tens against A-K and A-Q, and then managed to make himself the nut flush a few hands later against something that was clearly not as good as the nut flush.

Ladywatch cont.

Maria Karanikki: 17k
Tania Nurine: 7k


Red Dogwatch

20k, and he's eating a bowl of chips! "No, I'm just watching it for that guy." (Hiding his hands under the table and trying to look like he's not chewing) "I'm looking after his fork too."

One time come in 20%!!! FWIW Kev runs better than anyone else in this field- he's his own worst enemy however. If he gets up to 50k I expect him to blow up worse than Linton and Matasow combined

Any Updates For Barry Neville Please & Some Picture's

Chasing Amy was better.

Yes, he just nipped me for an iPod charger.

Matt Perrins made the final of the GUKPT in Brighton mainly by 3betting everyone else in the field to death, I think prior to the final I only saw him open raise once, and he had aces, but his constant 3betting everyone allowed him to quickly amass a big stack. Here, he's doing a similar thing. The cut-off raises to 650, he makes it 2,100 from the big blind eliciting a fold from his opponent who shows, albeit somewhat pointlessly, an ace.

nice one kev

Barry Neville, despite being up one ipod charger for the evening so far, is down to just 4k in the tournament.

He standard raised from the button only for the rather short-stacked big blind to push. Neville called with a sigh, and the sigh turned out to be apposite as his pocket sixes were well behind his opponent's pocke sevens. No miracle sixes or such anywhere on the 9h Ac Qs 5s 3h board, and just 4k is what he's left with. And, of course, Floppy's ipod charger.

UPDATES ON NICKY MCLELLAN & DAVE LEA PLEASE

Is James Williams still in? Could I have a chip count please, and a photo if possible. Thanks

Daniel Ward: 8k and silently contemplating this
James Atkin: 8.5k and apparently not bothered in the slightest; all you can hear at his table is incessant Atkin chatter.
Mark Spearman: OUT, when his Q-T came a cropper against Mateyboy's pocket threes on a 3-Q-J-Q-9 board.

The latter will deffo get more updates if we can sit him next to Matt Perrins.

He's not on the list, sorry. I don't think he entered.

10 Minute Break

Smoke 'em if you got 'em. Or chew some cigarette flavoured gum if you're half-assedly trying to quit, like me.

Blondeites Down!

Very much OUT is Mr Evilpie, who ran A-3 into something rather better belonging to Paul Gourlay. "That was short and sweet," said the Pieman and headed off to the cash tables.

Also a goner is Mr MrAlex2U (sp?) - after nursing a short stack for much of the evening, he ran his A-9 into pocket kings. However, I have been playing matchmaker, and have arranged for Mr Kinboshi, currently seated in the cash area, to buy him a consolatory beer. Ahhh.

Almost as down on his luck as those recent bustees is Michael Greco. With around 10k in the pot by the river of the 5d Tc 4c 7d Qc board, he bet 4.5k, leaving himself just 4.5k behind. Eventually his opponent, one David Robertson, called. "You win," said Greco even before Robertson had turned over his pocket fives for a set, and mucked.

Robertson up to an impressive 50k or so.

iPodgate update:

Me: "Barry, why is your iPod called 'Bigpuffs?'
Barry: "Fookin' 'ell, it was that fookin' Dave Colclough who fookin' programmed it, I'll fookin' get 'im. If you see 'im, tell 'im Barry Neville is lookin' for 'im.

Barry is much happier with his tournament though, having gone from a short stack to back over 20k just before the break.

Barry: "I 'ave just won five 'ands on t' bounce before the break. I had four thousand, eight 'undred and now I'm back over 20k."

Guy Johnson went out just now while Tommy C went out a while ago. James Atkin looks to be on around 6k

[ ] He does not deserve to have his skull cracked open with his own bat

Martyn Frey is out. Will check on the others.

Give him a break, that was the only point he scored in that match.

HOW ABOUT NICK MCLELLAN AND DAVE LEA PLEASE ????????

Andy Bacon -- 14k
Martyn (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2855) Frey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2855) -- OUT

It's for his own good though.  Euthanasia sort of.  Just quite painful.

Mr Gurpreet Nagi, 30k:

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25589&g2_serialNumber=1)


Other counts include...

Booder: 12k
Darren Shallis: 6k
Dave Colclough: 4k
Dewi: 30k

Mr James Atkin: OUT.

Short-stacked owing to races lost earlier in the day, he ran Ac 7h into Js Jd and the 7s 4c Tc 8s 9s board gave him the merest glimmer of hope before smacking him back down to earth and out of the running.

Still seems cheerful though.

David Lea went out 205th. Nick Mclellan has 19k.

On the plus side, David Lea spoke to Matt Perrins about starting their own sauce company, it's going to be called Dave and Matt's. :)

205th eh, the clock says there are still 213 in  ;slavedriver;

Can i have chip counts and pics of Charles Flynn aka CF on blonde please??

Also updates on Jonathan Salfi please??

Cheers guys great updates as usual!!

Clock = Floppy's responsibility entirely today. He said. I shall beat him when he gets back to his laptop.

Current chip leaders as far as I can see are 1) still Harpit/Rana Gurnam, and 2) Lawrence Gosney, both on 50k+. Former chip lead contender David Robertson has slipped back to around 30k somehow; possibly connected to this is the double up that Michael Greco seems to have enjoyed, putting him back up to around his starting stack.

DAVE LEA IS STILL IN, PLEASE CHECK AND UPDATE 40K ++++

Odd, DTD have him down as out.

203   Richard Sherwood
204   Matthew James
205   David Lea
206   Julian Davies
207   Daniel Ward

(p.s Stop using so many capitals. My eyes hurt)

Mr Mike Hill is OUT. With the board reading Kd 5d 2c 7c, it looked like it might be a thrilling three-way all-in fiesta at one point -

(http://www.sendafriendabeer.com/images/pictures/mariachi.jpg)


- but in the end the third gent involved passed, and Mr Hill was all in with Ad 7d against Dave Wall's Ks 2d. The river was a doesn't-change-anything 4c, and out he went.

I would but the computer i was on is broke :) hope the lwr. case is more pleasing...

Nick 'Corporal Dwayne' Hicks has pulse-rifled his way to chunky 40k stack after a few limps on his blind and he checked his option with K-8. He bet the flop of Kd 8h 6d getting one caller before firing 3,500 on the 2h turn and was met with a 20k all-in from David Wall whose Tom Snout-like blockage with K-J was quickly called. A 5 hit the river. Hicks amongst the chip leaders.

Charles Flynn and Jonathon Salfi chip counts please floppy!!

Barry Neville just came over to pickup his iPod and moan about a bad beat.

"Lawrence Gosney just 'it the mother of all suckout 'an me. I 'ad tens and wit' trip trees on 't flop 'nd 'e 'as called meh down wit' bloomin' Queen-Jack 'nd it a fookin' jack ont' river for an aighteen grand pot. Fookin' ell."

Hows Dewi doing Flopsy or Dana?

Mr Barry Neville filled me in on how he came to be so short, in his own inimitable style.

"That daft c*** in seat 1 [Lawrence Gosney]..."

Anyway, moving away from the inimitable reporting style of Mr Neville, it turns out that Neville raised with pocket tens, bet 3.5k on the 3-3-3 flop, another 3.5k on the 4 turn, and Gosney flatted him all the way down to the jack on the river. Gosney had Q-J. Not a happy Barry.

did he say how many chips he is on

Mr Darren Shallis: 30k
Mr Paul Gourlay: 32k
SKULLMAN: 40k
Ben Vinson: 22k

Er, not many. About the same as last time I counted them. Does anyone remember that far back? I'll count them again when I pass by there...

Standard Gosney IMO

7k and 4,025 respectively. Or as Dana calls it, "lol shrapnelments."

update on Laz and Dewi pls.

Geo

TY TY

One time please CF!!

Oops, Guy Johnson is still in. I had spotted him walking away from his table but turns out he was just being moved. He's still in. Sorry sorry.

wiiiiiiiii, get the lot guy.

Mr Barry Neville - seems to have clawed a few back; currently on 17k.

Mr Dewi: around 30k.

Mr Nick Hicks has taken a wee hit, doubling up Mr David Stratton in the process.

Mr Stratton was racing for his tournament life with Ad Qd against Hicks' 5h 5s, and the 2s Qc 7s Ac 7d did the Stratster a world of good. The Hickster politely tapped the table, but, in spite of the hefty 45k that he has behind, it was a sad day for Hicks:

Rana Gurnam has also taken a hefty hit, and while doing so has almost doubled up Nicholas McLellan. With the board reading 6s 3c Kh 8s Kd, I strolled up to the table to find Rana dwelling and eventually making that classic sign that he intended to fold: "Will you show if I fold?"

He duly folded and McLellan duly showed: Ks Kc for quads.

"Great pass," commented Mickey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283) Wernick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283), strolling by the table.

Rana slips a little to around the 50k mark; McLellan lunges ahead on around 40k.

Painful for James Eflekhari, he held Aspades 5s on a 5h 5d 9c board against Ad Ahrt which belongs to the awesomely named Byron Greenhow. Ok, so far so good. All the money goes in.

Turn: 9d

River: 9s

[X] Good bok, he's just gone before our short break for colouring up before the last level of the night.

This deserves some love.

Nicholas Myers is OUT, somehow getting in with Q-T against Lloyd Griffiths' A-K. An ace on he board sealed it -- there was a jack on the board too, but no straight appeared and out he went, with a handshake.



Also OUT is Jason Wheatley. He got it in with Q-T against the thoroughly dominatey A-T of David Welch and after an uneventful 6-2-8-K-7 board, off he went to the bar, just as a 10 minute break/chip race was announced.

Karabiner: 12k
Red Dog: 18k
Gurpreet Nagi: well over 50k; a possible chip lead contender at this time
Michael Greco: officially my Climber Of The Day - he's somehow clawed his way up to the heady heights of 40k.

update on Chris and Paul Brammer kthnx much love <33333

Can I ask about Dave Lea (who's out but in) and Nicky Mclellan ? Please ???

Nick Hicks bets 3.5k on a Jc Tc 5d flop and gets raised to 8k. He makes the call before both players check the 9s turn. On the Ts river Hicks bets 7k and gets a reluctant call. He shows Qh Qs to win.

Sure, ask away.

Go Gurpreet Nagi!! aka Sunny...

LOL I'm asking for counts please hosts...

Nicky Mclellan was on around 40k about 15 minutes ago after those timely quads against chip monster Rana Gurnam. Will do our best to chase him up...

A chilly reception for Paul Frost as he shoved from the big blind. Ms Joan Hadley, who'd limped in utg, reshoved, and they were on their backs.

Frost: Ks 5c
Hadley: 7c 7s

Board: a not five-ful enough Ad 5h Js 8h Jh, and he is out.

Sunny days for Gurpreet (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2868) Nagi (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2868), as he kills two poker-playing birds with one stone, er, two clubs, umm, something like that.

With Demetrios Nikolaidis already all in somehow by the turn of the 3c 7s 5c Ts board, Shaun King decided to stick his chips in too, at which point I arrived at he scene. Sunny thought about for a moment, before announcing, "I have to call."

"Do you have trips?" asked King.

"No."

"Do you have a straight? A flush draw?"

Sort of. Sunny turned over Qc Tc and King's head sunk into the felt as he turned over Th 9d.

River: 4s

Nikolaidis couldn't beat top pair queen kicker either, and both players headed off to do whatever it is people do at 2am when they've busted out of the tournament (cash, imo).

Gurpreet (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2868) Nagi (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2868) up to a whopping 75k+.

Big pot brewing between Adrian Swingler and Lawrence Gosney. Swingler bet 2k on a Aspades 4c 7h Kc board and Gosney raised to 6k before Swingler pushed for 38k more. Gosney seemed very tempted but folded after some thought and the pot swung Swingler's way.

A series of last-minute double-ups point to a loooong long day tomorrow...


Ms Kate Langshaw, Aspades Ks versus Alan "Slim" Picken's 5h 5s.

Board: 9h Jh 7h Ad Qs


-----------


I believe one Lee Clarke, whose Ad Kh stayed good against SKULLMAN's Ac Ts all the way down a 9c 9h 3d Qs 8s board.


-----------


Also one actual exit, in the form of, we think, one Charles Nelson. Jesper Persson bet out on a 7h Qd 2s 7d board only for Nelson to shove. An insta-call later and Nelson was drawing very, very dead with his paltry bluffy 4c 8c up against the mighty and full housealicious Qs 7c of Persson. Oops.

With just seconds of play to go, our Day 2 tally looks frankly terrifying -- so far we have 108 coming back tomorrow. I for one will be putting in a request for 5 minute blinds.

Karabiner and Paul Gourlay are last minute casualties.

Darren Shallis -- 50k
Booder -- 24k

Play has now finished. Chip counts to come soonish.

Looks as though the final count for People Coming Back Tomorrow is 107. Glad I don't have to cook that Sunday roast.

And I'll be calling simultaneous clocks on every table for anyone who takes longer than 2 and a half seconds to make a decision.

Thanks for the updates today, look forward to joining you again later.

We'll back tomorrow from 2pm with our remaining gigantic field.

See you then!

;stickaforkinme;

Well, since you blondes do such an awesome job, I hate to make my first post a correction, but...

I actually got knocked out when my AJ ran into KK.  Was seriously short on chips after betting to the river, when I was pretty sure I was ahead, only to see him hit his gutshot :(

Not sure who the Q-T Jason Wheatley is, but I promise he is an imposter.

Thanks for asking about me anyway George :)

gogogogo N-dawg one time.

glgl bro ship to teh fish

The rumour of my demise has been very much exaggerated, I'm still in just with !2500.

Sorry DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) had put you up as out earlier.

Last hand of the night, I am on 20k. there are two limpers and then Ralph makes it 5k to go. I find AQs in late positin and I think ...."I can get Ralph off here unless he has a monster...."

I ship in for my 20k and run into KK behind me.   &£&$%(^%*^%%(^&$%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only have I knocked myself out, I've damaged the only player that I have a % with.

WP me.   ;danafish;

You saved him from a whole world of pain their surely Tom? The KK might have put in a smaller raise and coaxed him into the pot, costing him even more.

Well played Darren and Dewi!! You guys are in a great position to do the business!!

Good sailing today ;technolog;

This hand had an ironic twist in that I R with AQ hearts, Tom shoves with AQ spades, the limper now shoves for 40k with KK and the flop came Qxx with two hearts and a third one duly arrived on the river, so if Tom's and my hands had been reversed he would have won a nice pot.
