Spotted here already and assumed playing

Sam Trickett
Ben Vinson
David Jones - Le Knave
Stephen Kirk
Young Gary Banks
Alan McLean
John Eames
James Browning

lol, what makes u say that? decent player from what I've seen.

90 players and rising...Roberto Romanello, ALan Stearn, Daniel Rudd, Greek Jack amongst them

Come on Birdforum, don't let me down, I'm on big styley at 125-1

Tighty photo task of the day - 10pt bonus for one of Banksy blowing a kiss to his pocket aces as he turns them over

Play is underway with 95 runners at the moment

Steve Kirk won the first pot of the day on his table, 800 chips worth

Raising in the cut off betting a  Ac Ad 3s flop, getting a caller and on the  5s turn before flipping over  Ahrt Jd to win after the  6c river


Meanwhile I have an interesting Gary Banks story to relate, and no its not about his tell

Kaptain Kirkup just won the first at Newcastle at 16-1. Only one winner from here...

So young Mr Banks comes up to me and we get chatting

"I had an intruder last night" he says

"Really?" I reply

"Yes, I was asleep in my room and I sensed that someone was nearby. I woke up worried and this girl had stripped down and got into the twin bed next to me"

"How did that happen, wasn't the room locked?"

"Don't know, it was locked but of course first thing I did was check my money and my laptop were still there"

There speaks a poker player

Steve Kirk. I really must learn how to take photographs

It may only be 25-50 but that still doesn't stop a 12,000 pot being played out

Richard Whitmore limps for 50

James Browning likewise on the button

Robert Boon raises to 200 in the big blind, called by both

flop  9h 2c 8h

check check and Browning bets 500

Called in both spots

turn  3c

check check and Browning bets 3,000 called in both spots

river  Ad

Boon bets 2,500, both pass

Whitmore shows  Th 7h ruefully

Browning grimaces and doesn't show when Boon shows  Ac Aspades after winning the pot

I see Fran viewing the thread, so for her

Tony Phillips has drawn a tough corner of his talbe, to the right of Surinder Sunar and Sunny Chattha

Style wise, Tony seems to have adopted the approach I saw a lot from Neil Channing in these sorts of events...frequently raises to 125 pre-flop in level one..and soon that becomes like a limp, building pots for when he hits hands

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26305&g2_serialNumber=1)

First sight of a photograph-able dealer (I would have photographed male dealers too, but trust my judgement on this) this event!

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26307&g2_serialNumber=1)

Breaking news. Buffet today is fish and chips. OK, Front of queue strategies being formulated as we speak

James Browning behind Syed Zaidi

Mr Zaidi seems to have come straight from his day job as a Snooker referee. If not that his gloves are for hygiene purposes, slightly offset by the Biro pen he is chewing

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26309&g2_serialNumber=1)

My moneys on the awop boys being first

Toby Lewis. I was mightily impressed by Toby at Manchester. Great game and a thoroughly nice guy too. Signed up to blonde as 810 of clubs, now a BBP grader and destined to go places IMHO. Appallling hoodie though with a cartoon character on the front. If I could hold a camera still you'd see that

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26311&g2_serialNumber=1)

give the man a drink so he stops shaking :)

im in jurys across the road will be over in half hour

Good luck to Sam Trickett, Tony Phillips, Stu Rutter and Toby Lewis. I'm sure one of these will final!

Top job Tighty!

Assorted snippets

Jon Kalmar is down to 2,000, the beneficiary appearing to be his neighbour Finn Stewart sitting on a 20,000 stack

James Browning has recovered to 12,000. Tels me he had nut hearts in that big pot earlier

Also on the Phillips/Chatta/Sunar table is London GUKPT winner Martin Silke

Allan MacLean has won a big pot off Mark Lowe, now short-stacked and Chris Dowling who went with him, after a pre-flop raise was called in four places on a  4s Tc Kd flop. MacLean's 3,000 turn bet took it down after the  Ad came down

JJ Hazan of Gutshot fame bet 1,500 after the river on a  2d 4c 5c 4h 3h board. Chris Wood makes it 3,500 and JJ eventually gives up

Steve Kirk gave me a look as I walked past as if to say "don't ask", so I didn't.

gl Jones

Oh and I'm sure a min-cash is on the cards for LeKnave if he doesn't win the thing :)

Gary Banks has been in action, surprise surprise

He raised to 350 in early position and picked up a caller on the button with William Haughey..playing today after all.

flop  3h 4s 8h and the the young one checked to the ex Celtic director who bet 600, called

the  Js was checked by both, as was the  Ks river

Banks turns over  Jd 8d beating Haughey's  9s 9h

I forget which one you are - Woodward or Bernstein.

I think Leknave has put on some weight. Either that or his Purple top doesn't flatter him

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26313&g2_serialNumber=1)

gogogogogogo stu rutter, win it all!

gl leknave too

Great work Tighty and thanks for these updates.....thought you may need a drink inside you to cure the camera shakes.

Could you say hi to gay boy Karl "Discomonkey" Fenton on Table 11 who recently won PKR Live 2.

Jon Kalmar is OUT, but we are up to 109 runners today with late entries

Richard Whitmore makes it 300, James Browning makes it 900, Richard moves all in for 5,025

James says "i think you have Queens but i have to call"

Richard has  Qh Qs

James has  Aspades Js

flop brings  Ac and Whitmore is OUT

Sunny (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=423) Chattha (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=423) is OUT

Chattha has  Ks Qs

Guy (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2943) Steel (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2943)  9c 8c

flop  Js Ts 7c

All the chips fly in and Sunny misses twice..though the  Kh Qh river and turn was rubbing it in a bit

Will Martin doubled through John McGill after flopping a full house. He has 20,000, McGill struggling with 5,000

Roberto (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=376) Romanello (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=376) is out after some speechplay patter in getting James Lowery to call.

After limps by James (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=185) Browning (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=185) and Romanello James Lowery makes it 600 to play and Browning makes the 600 call only for Roberto to push in for his last 3k.

He then goes into speech overdrive and says "You're squeezing and I've put you on a hand already. Depends if you want to race but I need the double up. I'll even tell you what I've got if it makes it easier for you to call. I've got a small pair  fives or less"

Eventually James Lowery makes the call and James (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=185) Browning (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=185) folds.

Roberto then says to Lowery " Youve got AJ or AQ" and Lowery turns AQ.

Roberto flips AK and all his hard work is to no good as Q hits the turn and we lose Roberto

Why was Roberto short in the first place? Paid off James Browning's flopped set on all three streets with top pair, top kicker.

Antonis Poulangeris was knocked out by Lynne Beaumont on the last hand before the break. Antonis pushed AK on a ten high board after the turn but ran into Lynne's flopped straight.

 :o :o

My favourite moment so far:

K-K-8-4-3 board, Stu Rutter checks K-8 to David La Ronde who checks behind with 4-4.

Good soul read sir.

slight correction, the money went in post a two spade flop. Odds much more reasonable at that point, Ace on the turn. Apologies to James

Le Knave wins a nice pot off Willie Haughey

the board reads  Jd 5c 7c 3h 4h and Willie bets 2,800 on the end into a 5,000 pot

Le Knave makes the call with  9h 9d

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26315&g2_serialNumber=1)

chip count for Robert Boon please

Alan Stearn is OUT, ran Kings into Sam Trickett's Aces

glglglglglgl to everyone I know (you know who you are)

Total number of runners? Think I have no chance as Yoyo gazumped me with a bid of 152

Concomitantly (hooray, I scoop a £5 note for using this word today) Toby Lewis busts

He has  4h 4d on a A-7-7-4 board. Very nice, but Kai Paulsen flopped Quad Sevens

Aaron Barry knocks out Justin Lewis with flopped set of eights versus flopped set of threes

Oh ok, makes more sense now

42+109=151 was the final total. Winner =Goldenballs?

Don't speak too soon, but I might have worked out how to focus the camera. Only taken me a day and a half!

Stand by for tomorrow's instalment. How to change the camera battery over six hours

Here is Daniel "UptheMariners" Rudd. Looking forward to his imminent Vegas trip he says, where he can make Hero calls all day to his hearts content against Yanks

Martin Silke winner of GUKPT London earlier this year is out

He held AQ and called all-in on the river of a Q-J-x-x-A board Surinder Sunar had made the nuts on the river with K-T.

Are you sure its Chris Woods? it looks like Ben Vinson

It does too, I double checked..Ben is on a different table

ty for that Tighty today isnt guna b the day unfortunatly! only had 5k left for the quads hand because of this sick hand, i hav 12k at 50/100 and 3 limp into my bb i make it 700 with 99, btn flats and sb tank flats (he is a irish guy who has been fairly TAG so far and done nothing massively out of line but i now think he has a pretty gd hand well i mean it flops well)

Flop comes A96r he donks 1100 at 2300 i decided he cant call a raise unless he has 66 so flat, btn folds

turn 10 he donks 2000 now, now im fairly sure he doesnt hav 78 dunno y but it doesnt seem right so again i flat cause i dont think he has a hand that withstands a raise.

river 8 board still is mono so i still dont think he can hav a 7 in his hand unless its 78 or 77 (which is super dirty, and not really possible) so i call his 4.5k bet which does look super valuetowny but im a donk so w/e and his says nuts and flips QJcc erghhh vnh sir gg gn then the quads hand std!

Was there curry sauce with the fish & chips?

If no, maximum of 5 stars possible surely.

Liquidized, cheese melted in and spread over a bed of black pudding would bump it up to 6.5 stars imo.

Wow. He must be multi accounting. They sure do look alike

Please learn what you are talking about, Sir. Much obliged.

satisfactory fish and chips. 5 stars out of 10, one portion. Bland though, so that limits the scoring potential

lovely vanilla cheesecake. 8 stars out of 10, two portions

Knew it.

Updates on sick Sam Trickett moves please!

In the background, Ben Vinson his doppelganger..behind Steve Kirk. Hello Steve.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26337&g2_serialNumber=1)

Steve Kirk has been knocked out by Mark James, he flopped top pair in the blinds's against Mark's Aces on the button

Banksy is still in then, is that right?

table moved and I missed him, not out. Very short stacked though

I think Tighty missed this but Dave Jones just dropped 7k doubling JJ Hazan with Aspades Kc vs 9s 9c.

Swear I heard him mutter, "Greasefire Raab," after the river...

ok no prob, gl him & leknave. Unlucky Kirky.

Zach Ford is OUT

He saw a flop with JJ Hazan

Flop came 10 6 4

He check raised a 600 bet into a 2,000 pot all in for 4,000 and JJ insta called with a set of sixes

15 breakfasts in an hour
May 22nd, 2009 at 8:24 pm

Paul Parker and Carlo Citrone have been discussing a prop bet. The deal is that Carlo has to eat 15 breakfasts in an hour.. They would consist of 1 sausage, 1 rasher of bacon, 1 egg, tomatoes (tinned) , mushrooms and a slice of toast. They apparently had a similar bet a few years ago, but cannot agree on how many breakfasts were involved in the bet. That time Carlo managed to put away seven of them in a 45 minute period, but this time his plan would be to use a liquidiser. They are still haggling over the terms - Carlo wants it to be for a grand and get odds of 2-1. Parker wants to up it to 20 breakfasts.



I could do that

Sigh. One of the travelling staff is celebrating his birthday after his shift finishes at 10.

Everyone will be out drinking and I have to work the 10 - 6am shift. FML

Haven't seen Allan in a few years.

A true gent and when on his game an absolute nightmare to play against.

Hope he cops the lot here.

[ ] wp george

juuune, how many does Jones have plz?

I'm sure that you'll make them pay for that in the late late cash game ;)

Daniel Rudd knocked out by Ben Vinson, who now has 25,000

James Browning down to 2,000 after 9-10 flopped a straight on him

la ronde announced he mucked 4-4 but never showed. is this a soul read or a cheeky fib?

Karl Fenton has been crippled in a pot by Mark James, left with less than 2,000

All in pre-flop cut off and button

Mark  Ac Kd

Karl  Aspades Ahrt

board 7-6-K-K-10 see below

[ ] I got to choose the shifts I work
[/] I have alcoholic tendencies
[/] I will be asking to go home early all night
[ ] £1 - £1 cash games are great fun

[X] the other staff fixed it for you to be working 10-6

7,500 Apparently he looked over at Eames with 25,000 and shook his head

George Geary has doubled through John Eames 8-8 v Q-J, which held. Back to 9,000

Chris Sterling knocks out two comparatively short-stacked players


Pete Mason all in with 10-J

Rickie Vedhara all in with 3-3

Sterling calls both with A-7

Ace hits and he wins the 18,000 chip pot

Jimmy Morgan from Liverpool has knocked out Aaron Barry

Morgan would have felt happy holding A-2 on a 5-10-2-A board

but then Barry pushed his last chips in on the river, another 5 which left Morgan with problems

Eventually Morgan called and Barry showed 3-3.

James Browning has doubled up to 11,000 with AK v AJ. Lynne Beaumont has 32,000

Local player Mark Trett has 32,000 holding KJ he turned top two and was paid off

Sam Trickett has 60,000. Must go and check on him as I've missed his major hands since the Aces v Kings Coup

Le Knave knocked out KK v JJ Hazan's AJ. Ace on the flop

Robert Boon knocked out, flopped two pair in the blinds but his opponent Gerald Kippel hit his flush draw on the turn

Gary Banks is still in with 5,500

JJ Hazan is on a run. Syed Zaidi limped, JJ raised in the cut off and they went heads up to a  Qd Qh Kh flop

check-bet-call

check-check on a  2c turn

Zaidi bets 800 on the  5d river and JJ calls with  Qc Tc

sigh - mbn! UL dave

Last level's play of the night begins

Lynne Beaumont wins a 12,000 pot off Julian Martin, rivering a set of fours on a Queen high board having called bets on flop and turn

Tony Phillips knocked out Nicky Power

Tony raised UTG, folded to Nicky in the big blind who pushed his low to medium stack in with pocket sixes

Tony called with tens

Six on the flop..crowd goes "ooooooooooooooh"

Ten on the turn....crowd goes..."aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh"

and Tony is propelled to around the 40,000 chip mark

and now Lynne Beaumont knocks out Antoni Romanello. Antoni pushed his last 5,000 with 9-5, ran into Lynne's A-Q in the blinds. Queen on the river

Sam Trickett still chip leader over 60,000 despite just doubling up Pete Samsom AJ-A7, Jack on the flop

George Geary doubles up through John Eames again. KK v J10 on a ten high board

Play is just about to end for the night

Cheers Tighty,

Make sure you wave to George on the way out to the mad drinking session he is missing.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Gary Banks is all in and Ben Vinson calls

4-4 for Gary
K-J for Ben

King hits the board and Ben knocks Gary out last hand of the night

Mike Hill with pocket tens on a 3 3 x 10 board knocks out Glen Sporlander and matey boy on the last hand of the night too

unlucky banksy. He is gonna win one of these one day.

Well done Tighty!  Looking forward to tomorrow.  Enjoy the rest of your night off!

 ;applause;  Nice updates.

 Many thanks.

ben vinson and steve jelly on the final table i reckon, may have a double on that

I'll take you up on that for a decent sized bet at BB8 Tighty?

Having just finished work, I believe the expression I am looking for is "diaf".
