Fun and games on Table Trickett where Jelinek, Eames, Trickett and Phillips sit in a row raising and re-raising each other for fun

Just now Liverpudlian Jimmy Morgan, sitting on this table in the big blind, saw yet another Trickett raise from mid position this time to 2,600

He stood up and theatrically announced all in for 40,000


"I've had enough of yous, send me home" he cried


Trickett looked quizzical and said "you said all in, are you sure you want to?"


"send mes home I tell ya" said Morgan his Scouse voice rising an Octave


"I've got pocket nines" said Trickett "I think you've got Ace-King"


Trickett ponders and Morgan carries on "go on then, call me, send me home. I have had enough of you"


Eventually Trickett says "I have changed my mind, think you have pocket tens" and passes


Morgan sits down, talking away to himself like an extra in a bar in Hollyoaks


"He was never calling" he tells the table.

Steve Jelinek

"I've moved from one fruity table to another. I'm not going to mix it with them, will try to pick them off. It actually suits my game this deep to play against these aggressive players. However they are not stupid and they know what I am doing and they pass to my raises and value bets a lot."

"Sam Trickett is obviously a tough spot on this table, Tony Phillips is a good player too, and also a couple of solid players I don't know"

he's referring to Eames in one of the players he doesn't know

Simon Wing news for discomonkey

"Mo and Henning on the same table, that will be fun"

Henning just check called three streets with middle pair against Mo, and won the pot, as if to back this assertion up

John Eames convo

"How is it going John?"

"OK I've got 42,000. Tough table!"

"and the plan is?"

"to get chips off them"

He has 15,000 so is not quite in the danger zone but getting there. By miles the tightest player on Table Trickett.

He must have thought all his Christmases had come at once a few minutes ago when his opponents gave him a walk in the big blind. Then He turned over  Jh Jd

Tony Phillips chip leader now


littlemissc is on Chapter 6 "not really getting into it, its a novel about Tudor England"

George Geary is all in for 11k, Sam Trickett calls, Finn Stewart moves all in for 28k and Sam snap calls that bet as well

I gather Tony Phillips won a big pot just before the break with a set of deuces, will try and find out more


Buffet wise..steak and ale pie followed by Strawberry Mousse

Pie 5 stars out of 10 for slightly over-acidic flavour to the ale part of the pie. Vegetables very pleasant including corking roast potatoes though

Mousse pleasant six stars out of 10. My fave is Butterscotch Angel Delight actually, when it comes to mousse flavouring and concoctions

Only one portion of each. Watch out Newcastle Kebab houses later.

Play resumes in two minutes

gl to dave clark

Alan McLean raises to 7,000 in mid position and Jimmy Morgan flat calls in the big blind.

He pushes, looking like a pre-mediated plan for after the flop

As you can see from the picture below, his timing was a bit off!

Alan was holding the nuts

Glenn Williams all-in for 22,000 with 55, Sam Trickett calls with AK.

In a rare reversal of poker fortunes AK misses and Sam loses a race

Steve Jelinek has lost some relative ground today, as his 60,000 stack is now dwarfed by Phillips and to a lesser extent Trickett on the same table. Finn Stewart sitting alongside Phillips now has 100,000+

Finn Stewart makes it 24,000 in the big blind

Sam immediately pushes all in for 97,000 more

Finn contemplates

"You did that straight away didn't you?" he enquires

"I've got a good hand, what are you going to do?" says Sam

Finn passes after several minutes


Tony (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1339) Phillips (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1339) pipes up "be my hero, show a deuce"

Afraid I didn't see the pre-flop action to create this curious circumstance, sorry

Tony has 320,000 chips now. What he does not have though is a hotel room for tonight, as there are none available in Newcastle on Bank Holiday weekend at this notice

Alan is OUT in 18th

17 left on two tables

Remember 15 get paid. We are on the pre-bubble bubble

Now that's what I call a stack

the table break has put Phillips to the right of Granstad and Haughey and across from Mo Muse


(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26385&g2_serialNumber=1)

Not a sight I thought I would see tonight. James Browning engaging this fella in conversation in the break from the £250 freezeout

Who is he?

Feeeeeeeeeeeed the goat

gl Trickett, Phillips & Hoivold.

His eyes rather glazed over when I asked him to recount his winner for Man C at the Walkers in 2004ish

He might have thought I was a bit stalker-ish

what an absolute legend he is!!!

Tell him to get to Bolton for the super series!! Autograph pls!

GL to Surinder - had a bet for him to make final

He won't let you down for patience or stickability that's for sure Peter

George Geary also, incredible patience

Standing up for the old guard against these youngsters

I think I taught both of them what patiance means lol

Great work btw Tighty

Every time I walk over and point my camera in the general direction of George Geary he gives me a look so withering that it would crumble statues

Here is an approximation of the scene

I like George, but what used to amaze me was when he used to light up that big cigar of his (in the days when smoking was allowed at the poker table ) and turn the fan so the smoke went over everyone but himself.

u sure browning wasnt talking to geremi? they kinda look the similar+ geremi is a poker reg in newcastle + james plays tennis with him

We're on the

Why? Andreas Hoivold has knocked out Paul Gardener in 17th

Paul flopped a set of fours versus Andreas' QQ on a King high flop

Queen on the river

lol, there is no way Andreas Hoivold isn't winning this comp...

8d 7d vs Ad 8h. Bink.
2c 2s vs Kd Kc. Bink.
Qs Qd vs 4d 4c on a Kh Td 4h board. Bink.

No wonder he looked blank then. You could be right

u sure werent ball boy for the auspicious occassion you tubface.

Awaiting a responce from Kev

Geremi

they do look remarkably similar actually

(http://www.workplacegiving-uk.com/img/pagegraphics/Love_heart.jpg)

roflcopters @ being a ball boy. James told me they played, i doubt it was real tho

PMSL might explain why his eyes glazed over when you asked him to describe a goal he never scored !

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

I can confirm it is Geremi. he has apologised to me for his lack of knowledge on Shaun Goater, or Bermudan sport in general, which was my alternative gambit

If the ground could open up and swallow me, a big hole needed, I would let it

Tony and Jelinek to make final, with Tony to win. That'll cover my degen bets, thank you.

George Geary has bubbled. Details on their way

blind on blind George (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=154) Geary (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=154) pushes in the small with J 3

Syed Zaidi calls with A-Q in the big blind and rivers a Queen to scoop after a three hits the river

that guy just passed  Aspades Kc to willys allin there by the way

willy says he had  Kd Kh

Laurence Houghton's Jacks have outdrawn Surinder's Kings, all in pre. Jack on the flop. Houghton 60,000. Surinder 40,000

Granstad bet 11,000 with AK, Haughey pushed for 65,000 more. Granstad passed. Would have left Henning with 50,000 to call and lose the pot

chip leaders Phillips 280,000, Hoivold 150,000..rest in a heap up to 120,000

Here is Syed Zaidi. No word of a lie we are in Level 15 and for two days he has chewed this pen, non-stop

(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/ShiAFR9DHbI/AAAAAAAAAbA/aySx8XHKso4/s576/IMG_9259.JPG)

One more level tonight, or hit the final nine first

Colin Wu doubles through Willie Haughey just before the break. AK v KQ on a A-K-Q board, raised pot. Check-raise, push All in and called on the flop

Colin 170,000

Willie 40,000

Great updates Tighty.

Did you get the chance to ask Shaun Goater about what it was like to collect his MBE?

pack it in, I am still laughing !!


I can just see Tighty walking up to him singing "feed the goat, feed the goat, feed the goat and he will score" .... fkin hilarious.

They are twins. That is my final word on the subject.

He must be delighted to see Houghton's  5h 5s but Trickett misses and he is on life support


Willie Haughey pushes Ad Qd and Mark James calls for almost his stack with pocket Sevens on the button. Ace on the river puts James on the felt

Sam Trickett is OUT in 15th winning £1,500

He pushed his last 1900 in. Laurence made it 16,500 but passed when Finn Stewart made it 55,000

By far the most aggressive player on the table with the smaller stacks, he's won a lot of pots without showdowns, whilst on the Phillips table the sharks fight over every pot

Surindar Sunar is OUT in 13th place winning £1,500

Steve Jelinek makes it 16,000, Surinder Sunar moves all in for 15,000 more and Steve calls
