Welcome to Aberdeen for Leg 2 of the GUKPT Summer series ... A £500 buy in comp and he first GUKPT event to be held in Scotland.

Will be interesting to see how many runners we get for the mainevent today, starts at 6pm.


blonde interest confirmed with both Laz & Dino1980 (Nick Wright) among the runners, also confirmed as here are circuit regulars and the Richard & Judy of poker .. Tim and Pippa Flanders.


I am heading off to the G casino at about 4.30ish ... will do my best to bring you all the action, some laughs and pics ... and maybe even the odd norkage shot thrown in for good measure.

We are going to do a full chip count at the break, which is approaching shortly ... we dont normall do chip counts at the first break, but as there is a small field, we are going to do it ...

Player just gone .. Alex Stuart, didnt get the hand, but it looked like he was left very short after a previous coup... Sean Garswood swept up his last few hundred chips.

any chance of finding out who won the 300 game

Break time ... chip counts are being done.

Meanwhile ... Sean Garswood has scooped the £300 event, pics to follow.

Sean Garswood, winner of the £300 event

LOL at that mickey mouse money

Players are back at the table ... the chip counts will be delayed as we have just lost all net access, we have found a weak signal using the casino network.

FML ... this is going to be hard work ... pics might be a problem.


meanwhile player down

Alisdair Macrae has gone ... all the chips flew in on the river of a Queen high board, Macraes 2 pair was bettered by a higher 2 pair by Kevin Wallace.

whats the casino like? big? luxurious?

Is RHM moonlighting as a casino manager in Aberdeen?

Ironside still in?

Up early in the morning for pics of Pittordrie from the outside please

Two more late entries just before the alternates period closed.

On table 5 seat 9 sits Baoli Zhao and in seat 8 on the same table sits Peter Thomas, who turned up late, thinking it was an 8pm start.

I have an inkling that there may be a "turn" on tonight ... I saw what looked like amps etc being unloaded from a van went i nipped out for a smoke :)

As for the grub, I had a Chicken Jalfrezi followed by Trifle for dinner ... 8.8/10 very pleasant.

No - Ironside asked for karaoke. Looks like they've said yes.

Friend of Shaun Goater?

ok - will settle for pics of above average looking men of any age. 

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee say hello to Olga ...

So hot even the lights on the wall clearly like her.

It certainly looks like the same Alex Notman, will take a pic of him for you.

I have no idea what he looks like - I only really know him from Championship Manager about 10 years ago...

picture of former footballer's legs please.

Pokers Richard & Judy

Tim & Pippa Flanders

just googled him and was about to ask if it was the guy next to Raj in the earlier pic - looks like my eagle eyes were right (but I don't suppose Kev noticed anyone but Raj in the picture!).

he's a fairly attractive young man anyway - there must be more Kev.   ;slavedriver;

Raj & Dino

lol this!!!

looks like there might be some potential either side of Pippa Flanders.  Proper pics so I can get a decent look please.

One and the same I reckon

Updates on what happened to Laz ??

He did say last night that if it didnt get over 50 he wouldnt play ... Plus I drunk the big numb lump under the table last night, so he was probs suffering today ;)

During the break Dena and Nina decided to be tourists !

Missed that bit in your colonies report ... :D

Weland Holroyd is out his all in with AQ ran into Andrew Beggs AK ... the King flopped and sent Holroyd to the rail


So that leaves 26 players

Blinds at 200/400 ante 25

Ave stack is 16,200

I still have last nights report to write ... lets just say it was an awesome night :)

Kurt Hansson has doubled up through Baoli Zhao ...

Hansson pushed with  Kh Qd

Zhao snaps with  Ad Aspades

Flop  7h 9h Ac


Turn  8h


River  6h


MBN.

Sounds interesting, looking forward to the next part  :)

News on the Ironside hand .... It appears the info was incorrect

This is what REALLY happened ...

Ironside had K-J and limped in from the small blind. The flop was 3-6-J with two diamonds and a heart. Iron made it 800 and Peter Thomas called. The turn was the 2 of hearts, putting two possible flush draws on the board. At this point Iron bet 1600, Peter thought for an age and then moved all in. Iron beat him into the middle but was dejected to see that Peter had 5-4 and had already made a straight. Iron brewed!

Thanks for support everyone. Was largely plain sailing last night until Peter Thomas, a trawlerman, got moved two to my left at my table. To say he was drunk would be an understatement. He was raising blind to begin with and generally accumulating chips, until he sprayed them around a bit. Chances of getting a raise through was zilch for a while. Then after a few coffees he sobered up a little and calmed down a bit and he actually seems to be a fairly decent player. It just spoiled the comp a bit for a player to be constantly swearing (although not directed at anyone) and always asking how much the blinds were and who was left in the pot when the action was on him. To be fair to the dealers and floor staff, who were obv keeping a close watch on him, they handled him well and he was told in no uncertain terms that he was close to getting a penalty.

good luck Dino.
