Q73 flop and the money goes in ... Q9 for Jeff   77 for Tristan McDonald

Kerry Taylor out.

The Mo Muse steamroller keeps going ... he has just busted Stuart Nash.

Wow - A final that included Mo, Richard Gryko & James Williams might be some affair!

James has a very big win in him, it'd be grand to see Richard Gryko win one of these - he's survived a year or two - & Mo is due, too, after big Finals at DTD & the £2,5000 UNIBET jobbie, at The Vic.

Don't do that - the horses probably find it quite comforting...

What about this for a coup  ... live poker is so rigged.

Alan McLean flat calls UTG.
Richard Ashby moves all in
Nick McLellan calls
Alan McLean calls

 Ad Ahrt for McLean

 Kh  Kc For Ashby

 Kd Ks for McLellan


The aces hold and Alan trebles upto 180k.

Richard has 10k

Nick has 50k.

Richard Ashby is now OUT.

1 Hour dinner break at the end of this level ... I have to either get 1st in the buffet queue or check into my hotel and get a subway instead ...

So far, Subway is ahead imo.

Superb days play so far. Enjoy Subway Kev, don't risk the buffet IMO

Subway it is .... only a 45 min break.


Full chip counts will be coming.

Paul Vickary is out Steve Watts claims the scalp

forgot steve was still in. He can have 4th place.

Any chance of a pic of sicilidonk Kev? He is playing the £250. It will make him feel important. Cheers.

No, taking pics of low level buy in players will devalue the proper players imo.  ;)

yes, very good point well made.

Thanks for making me see the error of my ways.

About half one yesterday I had a noce chat with Alan 'Lucky' McBride at the bar. me red wine, him coke of course.

I think I showed tremendous perspicacity in telling him he has the game for a tourney like this. I'm more right than I thunk I would be  - vwd man, whatever happens and well done to the other Mcbride too, n1 Jim

Go Lucky take it down for the Luton regulars.

Phil Anderson is looking to take you on in the Champions of Champions in December

In light of allegations made on other threads, please clarify exactly what you mean Glenn. Ta.

Just got a text from Lucky:

"Still in and going well, despite being given some duff advice from some drunken beach bum early yesterday afternoon."

Goooooooo lucky!

PS, a photo of Sir Donksalot would finish the day perfectly for me, poetry in motion.

MBN to be Mo Muse ...

Flop 8 9 10 and he bets ...

Will Martin raises all in and Mo snaps

A 10 for Will ... MBN MO has JQ !!

He adds to his chip estate !

No fivers in evidence

lol

Will Martin out 21st for £2300

Sir chomp, even though we iz officially retired do you think we should have one more go at the £300 lol donkament tomorrow ?

no, i think it's best he stays retired. You carry on as normal please Nirvana.

I think you should all come down and offer to buy me shit loads of Jack Daniels .... I am driving home tomorrow night so I will have to refuse.


That would tilt my life HARD !

Its very hard to show myself in a card room again after yesterday but thanks for the support :-)

I mean, to get back on thread, go Mr lucky !!!!!!

\i'll be there tomorrow,  will happily buy you a coke Kev.

Sicilidonk is on 19k in the £250.

Now this is a man enjoying himself ...

As well as Alan "Lucky" McBride ... here is a happy Chuck Thompson

And vying for chip lead status with Mo is James Morris

Barnesy has doubled his 17.5k with A9 v 22 ... hit a 9 on the turn.

Scott Chaudry out in 20th ... Ill timed squeeze to a Chaz Chatta bet and a Mo Muse call .... Chaz passed but Mo had ACES ..which held against Scotts K2

Keep it going Alan!

Christopher Kyriacou shoved QQ saying "The ladies love me baby"

Gryko showed AK and said nothing


A 2 3 A 9 board brought a collective nod of approval.

 ;carlocitrone;

So that leaves 17 and Alan "Lucky" McBride is still bang in contention .... Lets remember that he was bought into the event by his Mrs as a birthday pressie ... great story.

Reminds me of a certain Moorman story...

Rob Garfield is felted ... he tried to get Chuck Thompson off a hand and was forced to call Chucks all in.

Chuck had JJ
Rob had 9 10

Chuck up to 300k

Richard Gryko has eliminated Alex Burton

Rob Garfield is OUT

ALL IN AND A CALL

James Williams gets it in ... Gryko makes the call and has Williams covered.


Williams turns over AQ

Gryko smiles and turns over ........ AQ

Chop it up.

last level of the day ... still have 13 players.

On a 6 5 7 flop Steven Eames shoves with JJ

Clive Padden snaps with 66

Eames out in 13th for £3050

I found them a bit irritating tbh

I haven't fallen asleep honest ... with half an hour to play we are not seeing any action.

Only a cold deck will help.


Everyone is well stacked, there are no real shorties.

Alan still enjoying himself?

Mo Muse is out.

He moved in from the button with QQ

James Williams calls with AK

First card out is the King.

Mo out in 12th

Next out gets £3,800

I am aching for him to make the final ....

Urgh, Unlucky Mo.

Will bring a blonde badge for Alan tomorrow, WHEN he makes the final.

He will be swamped in them, I have a bag full ;)

LOL, see if we can get him to wear 20, all over the place. One on his forehead too.

what?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

he was CL with 380k wtf happened there - how many chips has williams got???? - gg the field?

Mo tends to raise so big that he was getting comitted to calling re raises, no one person got his chips, they were pretty evenly shared.
 

Clock paused, card drawn .... we will be playing SEVEN more hands.

any chance of a chip count on james williams?

ftw!!

Come on Lucky, get that final table secured!

Second from last hand of the day and we lose Chaz Chatta

He was knocked out by James williams ... Chaz pushed a raggy flop with AQ but Williams had hit 2 pair

You couldnt make it up ... LAST HAND OF THE DAY AND WE LOSE ANOTHER !!

 Gryko raises  from the BB after  Asif limps from the button.


Asif announces ALL IN !!

AQ for Gryko ...

A8 for Asif

AQ holds and we lose Mohammed Asif in 10th

Well done Alan!!

We have a final table ... and blondeite Alan "Lucky" McBride has made it

Absolutely delighted for the fella.

thanks for doing a great thankless job kev!

wp kev

yep, great job Kev, will be down tomorrow to rail Alan before the £300.

Brilliant alan well done !!!!!

Cheers for the updates Kev  :)up


ps - the tournament clock is still running  ;)

I played with Chuck today, he's on holiday here. He's wearing a Bay 101 baseball cap, the casino in San Jose where the WPT Shoting Stars tourney is every year. I asked if he plays there as I had a nice run in the WPT there a couple of years back and he said he runs the tournament and is the announcer so he will have been announcing when I made the final. He asked if I got any bounties and I told him I got Kenna James and Dan Harrington..."Ah Dan is one of my closest buddies, I came 6th the year he won the Woirld Series and we stayed close ever since!" Lol we need random main event final tablers sneaking in our grand comps! Love some of the variants in his hendon mob, anyone for some Ace to Five draw? Chuck ftw

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii gogogogo alan! might come rail tomorrow night, what time it kickoff?

2pm i think.

Really touched by all the support guys.   Have loved every minute of it.

Trying now to get my better half to come with me tomorrow, but she doesn't want to bring me bad luck.  How can I persuade her that I have nothing to lose?

Mrs Lucky has to be there, after all she bought you the seat. How can she be unlucky????

Great updates as always.

So happy for you, Alan. Best of luck for tomorrow.

1k buy in ................ 6k payday = nothing to lose

wp gl - i think it would be nice to have your good lady there for the day - but i guess if she isnt into poker it might be boring on the rail

Either tell her it's still part of your birhday present or.... give her some rohipnol - this is a time when drugs in poker is ok imo.

The drugs worked - she'll be there!

Thanks George.  All the dealers have been very encouraging - it's added to the enjoyment of the occasion for me.  Thank you all.   I even got a free beer from Carmel last night...that must be good!

Now, just  a few hours of good cards is all I ask........See what you can do!

gogogo lucky!!  ;applause; ;applause;

Thanks and good to meet you yesterday Glen.

Terrific, atmo-fiilled, old-style blonde Update Kev - very well done, & thank you.

And as for Mr Lucky - what a story! Well done him, & Mrs Lucky. Once again, poker proves that dreams can come true.

See you all there shortly.

Good luck today Alan.

ty ty

Will see if I can emulate you Pelham!

I am here already .... Hotel checkout at 12 fml !!

Looking forward to today .... Players have been told to get here for 2pm, but after photos and other media stuff, I doubt we will be starting much before 3pm.

Will start a new thread for the final ... but in the meantime lets hope we will be saying

"Thats MORE THAN lucky" plenty of times today.

Kev what comp is it tonight and when does it start?

£300+£30 bounty comp ... starts at 6pm.

£25 on your head

Put your money where your keyboard warrioring is...

A very wise man told me that the only people who do not feel jealousy are parents and teachers.....I think he is wrong. Never have I been happier to see somebody at a final table than Lucky......well done.....one for the nice guys in poker.

Cheers Phil.  Sorry I didn't get a chance to chat last night - was a bit busy!

LOLOLOL fantastic. Has Alan just had a result or something?!?
