:hello:

184 in already, and it looks like the lovely Nottingham weather isn't a big enough pull to keep people away from the Home of Poker^TM, DTD.

If you want updates or photos of anyone in particular during the event, just give us a shout and we'll do our best.

£1/2 cash games are underway....

 :hello:

 :hello: :hello:

Oh, and if anyone needs a Nottingham-London train super off-peak train ticket valid until 6 May, come and see me.

:)up

Oh, and if anyone needs a suit, speak to Barry Neville - who is currently telling a bad-beat story to Kev who is ever so grateful.

230 entries with less than 10 minutes before KO. 

After Nirvana's final table and £10K share of the deal last month there are about 100 players from Luton here who've obviously decided that if Glenn can cash it must be a soft field.

;)

Must be a full moon this weekend.  Matt Russell has managed to make it here before the end of level 2...

AND WE'RE UNDER STARTER'S ORDERS!!

245 in at the KO...

...talking of KOs here's Kev...

Player down, It's a new record, less than 3 minutes into the game and somehow we have an all in and a call... JJ v AA, Aces hold and we lose Muhammet Alpar .... His conqueror was Andreas Georgiou.

Now it's only a guess, and I could be wrong ... but I think Andreas Georgiou might be chip leader ! ;)

On the table featuring Nick Hicks and Cos Paparestis we have a big hand, although neither were involved.

The hand involved Gavin Roberts and Daren Braddick.

Flop of:

There's already a fair bit in the middle and the turn of

Text incoming...

Celtic ends level 1 with 15k after cracking KK with 44.

Back on table Hicks and Paparestis, and again they are mere observers in the hand:

On a board of

3d 5s Jh 7c

With about 2,000 in the middle Patrick Donoghue leads out for 1,500
Kevin Pearce raises to 3,500

Patrick calls.

River is the Js

Both players check.

Patrick shows: Qh Qd 

Kevin mucks.

Dave "Value" Barnes

Jalal Rasoul & John Stritch

Daniel Ward & Manuel Stan

Big hand involving Ben Martin and George Bedi.

2h Qd 4c

There's 1,200 in the middle

Ben leads out for 900 more and George calls quickly.

Turn:

 5h

After about a minute Ben leads out for 1,925

George calls quickly

River:

7s

Ben moves all-in for his remaining 4,575

George goes into the tank.  He has about 10K in front of him at this point, and he counts out his chips and looks like he's going to reluctantly fold.  After a dwell of a few minutes he calls.

Ben turns over 6c 8s to show the nuts, and George laughs and said he thought Ben was betting all the way through with air. 

Constantine "Cos" Paparestis

Cos was captured as he shoved his bowl of rice all in, no callers and he takes the blinds... will try and find out what went wrong.

Carlo Citrone

Ben "RookieITB" Turnstill

Dave "LeKnave" Jones

Colin Young

Nick Hicks

Carlo never seems to age.

Michael Wright

Just had AA cracked by 10 Q and is still on 10k !!

He must have a few pictures in his attic imo.

There's a 20 minute break after this level (7 minutes left), and then you have 45 minutes until the end of Level 3 to buy in.

Cheers........

4 minutes until the first break, and then hopefully we'll be able to grab a few players for some interviews...

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYX9ttuMfgc

Paul Hardy is OUT, all in for his last few k with 10 10 and was up against the 33 of Richard Whitely... 3 on the river sends Hardy to the rail.

WP Celtic, now that's an interview

gl claw :)

Hand between Daniel Ward and Nigel Turver.

Daniel raises to 1,200 and Nigel moves all-in for a total of 4,500.

Daniel counts out what he has to put in and then reluctantly makes the call.

"I've got a pair he says" but it doesn't sound like a huge one.  Nigel says so have I and turns over:

Kc Kh

Daniel winces and shows 6c 6d

Aspades 9s 3h 3s 2h

Nigel doubles up and Daniel is left with about 8K.

Managed to get a pic of Pete Singleton looking happy ... but he is now OUT, no details.

Yep.  I'll get a count in a mo.

+1

Early leader, Andreas Georgiou has obviously been a busy boy as he's now OUT!

He was all-in against Michael Annis who had him comfortably covered.

Michael Ac Ks
Andreas 9c 9s

Raiser folds

second player calls and flips AQ

Flop 5 4 2

Turn 3 !

Sorry for the lack of action, Kin and I were troughing.

Back to work now though.

 ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck;

 to celtic and claw   

Mehmet Kutlu doubles up to 13K  through Ossama Akkary

88 v AK with an 8 on the flop.

Tina Ainsworth and Andrew Woods

Karl Snow

After suffering a few losses, Matt Russell is back up to over 25K.

A blind call UTG from Nigel Turver is greeted by several limpers.  Round to Matt who raises with Tc Ts.  Daniel Ward re-raises all-in to about 5K with 8d 8c and Nigel and the other limpers fold.

Td Qs 3c on the flop and the rest was irrelevant.  Daniel leaves us and Nigel is happy that Daniel made the shove as he laid down Qc Jc, and would have quite liked that flop.

20 minute break and I'll try and grab another interview and some chip counts...

Maria Demetriou news ...

Just before the break she gets it all in with KK v AA ... someone passed KQ

Helloooooooo case KING on the river .... Maria rubbed Blatch's shoulder about 5 minutes earlier for luck, so the River was not even really a surprise :D

Very riveting indeed. Wish I was there now, seeing how much fun Neil and George are having....  ;sleep;

Can we have pics of the greek pinochio please

Managed to grab the one and only Colchester Kev for a few words during the break:

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adUSE5PoIfs

Weeeeeeee! Managed to get a chop out of a squeeze gone wrong b4 the break with a2 vs aj. Same guy snaps another of my squeezes with 88 and my a9 gets there on the river to get me back to average.

Back in the game :-)

To whom do you refer?

John Exley & C.T Law

Julian Thew, and sneaking into the pic on the left hand side is Stuart Fox

Update on father and son Dougie & Graham Gunn please.

Dougie has a ceramic badger as a card protector. Pass on my GL to him please.

Geo

I took this pic of a bloke in a camouflage jacket, but now I cant see him to identify him !

Thats some tan he`s got there

BTW...Dougie is StDoug on blonde

On my way Geo.

Cos ido

Graeme Gunn 6k

Dougie Gunn  7k

Hand involving Costas Costa and Andrew Tuxworth.

Costa raises preflop and is called.

Flop
3s 9h 2s

Bet and called, and there's now a little over 4K in the pot.

Turn
Td

Andrew leads out for 4,800, which is slightly more than the pot.  Costas calls.

River
9s

Andrew moves all-in and Costas folds, showing Ks Kc.

Nice pot for Andrew.

Very next hand at the same table, this time involving Ralph Shalson and Tom Kugelstadt.

Flop
Tc 4c 3s

2K in the pot and Tom leads out for about the size of the pot.  Ralph calls from the button.

Turn
5s

Tom bets 3K

Ralph thinks for a while and then folds.  Tom shows Aspades Ts.

Ralph tells me he folded Ac Jc as he didn't think he'd get paid if he called and hit and thought he was behind.

He's out.

We've lost Blatch.

Ralph was involved in his demise.  Blatch raised pre-flop and Ralph called with 4c 4s on the button.

Flop
2d 4d Ac

Turn
7d

River
2s

Ralph took down the pot with his full house and Neil mucked leaving himself with about 2.5K, which didn't last very long and he departed the scene, probably heading back to Miami...

DrainyFish.

A fairly large pot involving Nigel Turver, Marc Ward and Mitesh Patel.

A raised by Marc Ward UTG and called by Mitesh and Nigel.

Flop
3h 6h Qs

Nigel leads out and both Marc and Mitesh call.

7c

Nigel leads out for 10K into an 18K pot.

Marc folds, as does Mitesh.

Nigel breathes a large sigh of relief and turns over Aspades Qh.

"Was expecting an over-pair there, just glad to win the hand with top pair."

A nice pot for Nigel who's now sitting on over 40K.

Bad news for celtic fans.  Vinny Calenti is down to only a few thousand.

KK v the table rock's AA.

No binkage, and Vinny's left with scraps.

Boooooooooooo.

Many thanks

Found Dougie, he has 12k

Flavius Ventel

Th 9h 6d

Flavius 7h 6h
Stephen 9s 9d
Peter 8c 7c

Turn

River
3d

Peter avoids all the bullets, and it's a big, allmost quadruple up for Peter who was the second shortest out of the three.  That also means we lost one, and Flavius leaves us empty-handed.

Tks Kev

Many Thanks Kev....

Anyone interested in the odds for each hand with that monster flop:

Interesting hand, but we don't even see a flop.

Joseph Grech raises to 1,200 from UTG+1, Paul Garnham two seats to his left re-raises to 3,500.  Nicholas Myers looks at Paul's bet momentarily and then shoves all-in for about 15K total.

All fold round to the original raiser, who thinks for a while but didn't seem to be even considering a call.  However, when it got to Paul he asks for a count.

It's another 12K for him to call and he has about 22K back.  So if he calls and wins, he'll be sitting on a nice stack.  Should he call and miss, he's down to around 10K and in an uncomfortable situation.

After a dwell of a good few minutes, he passes his Ac Ks face up.

Nicholas flashes his Ad Ahrt. 

Claire McGregor gets a bit of luck going her way.

She's dealt a Jack and a second card that was also a Jack. However, as the second card was being dealt to her it managed to skid across the table and take flight, revealing itself to all as it then proceeded to leave the air-space of the table. 

Mis-deal.

Now a mis-deal when you have Jacks might not seem lucky, but it is when another player at the table shows the Kings that they'd been dealt...

WTF even DTD are trying to bok me, it says I'm out on that list, I'm not!

Guests - sign up to blonde!  It's free, only takes a few seconds and it means you get to see all the pretty photos in the update thread :)up

lol nice old 3 way flip...

Matt Russell 25k which he had at the first break ... talk about stack maintaining !!

News of your demise was greatly exaggerated Sir ;)

Woodsey in Mark Twain “Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated" moment.


(Edit:  Is that a case of great minds thinking alike, or a case of fools seldom differing?)

thanks Kev, punch sack Kinboshi imo

chip count for paul lammas please

On my way.

First option wins ;)

Think he's out...

Be shocked if he cashes

Actually he is out in 127th, the system said it was Andrew Woods, but it was in fact Paul Lammas

Are Dougs and Graham progressing any?

Geo

Interesting hand between Farhad Mirfakhrai and Manoj Mistry.  Manoj had the pleasure of sitting next to Tikay most of the first day in the £300 last month, and went on to final table and earn himself £11K in the deal between the last four players.

Missed the betting pre-flop, but there's about 6K in the middle on the flop of:

Ts 4h 8d

Manoj checks, and Farhad on the button bets 5.5K.

Manoj moves all-in for about 40K and he has Farhad covered.

Farhad has think for a good minute or so, and then folds.

Manoj shows

You sure?

Matt Russell down to dust, I got to the table to see Tassos Grigoriou stacking a pile of chips and Matt looking crestfallen, will try and find out what happened, but Matt didn't really look in the mood to tell me.

How is the Aberdeen Angus?

It's worse than that, he's dead Jim... :(

how are pete wigglesworth, dave gallagher & graham pound doing please?

They're nearly on a break - so we'll try to get chip counts then.  Last time I spoke to Pete, he was chugging along nicely.

Will find out during the break :)up

What do people think about this play? All in for 40k to win 11k with second pair.  Genius or something else?  Only way to win the hand? Thoughts please. Ty.

Top Updates guy's..

Limp UTG from Mark Elliott.  Round to Maria on the button who raises to 3,600.

Philippa Flanders in the SB has about 6,000 and interestingly just flat calls.

Mark who is pretty much priced in calls with about 35K back.

Flop

Philippa moves all-in for her remaining 2,800.  Mark calls.  Maria moves all-in for her remaining 12K, and as she hoped Mark folds.

what happend to matt

Better luck for Claire McGregor.

With Kc Ks on a 3d 7d 7s board she's up against an all-in player who has Ad Td

The turn is a Kh giving her the full-house, which is a good job as the river is a now irrelevant 4d.

Claire now up to 48K

Peter Wigglesworth down to 4,400 and looking for a spot to get it all in.

Raj Dhiri

Glen Storey

[  ] thanks

He didnt want to talk about it tbh, But a bit of detective work shows that Tasos called a raise with K9, and flopped 9 9 10 .... Matt had Jacks !

Michael Wright has been on a rollercoaster ride after having his Aces cracked early doors.  Since then he's been up and down, managed to hit two-outers on the river and he's "played a lot more loose and aggressive than my usual game."

Well, the combination of all these elements sees him sitting on 52K, and he seems to be enjoying himself.

Kev Bloor is up to 60k ...

John Angus is up to 20k ...

Cos Paperestis is up to NO GOOD !

Pete Wigglesworth was down to 4,400 when we last visited.  Now he's off life-support and up to 18K, so not comfortable but at least back in the game.

He'd got back to 8K and then benefited when the UTG player limped with Kings and it was folded round to Pete in the BB with A2o.  An ace on the flop and the money went in to give him the much needed double-up.

Although he'll need some more luck, the dream of the double lives on...

Any requests for chip counts or updates?

Ken Clark
Dean Aldred
Ricky Price

Gl John Angus.

CT Law and Dom Mahoney get it all in pre

AK for CT

JJ for Dom

Dom is covered ...JUST !

Good Luck Kev Bloor.

Good Luck to Raj Dhiri too. Dont really know the bloke, but when i played against him a while ago he seemed like a nice gent.

He's one of the nicest rocks around.

We're on a 15 minute break.  So will try and get some chip counts and maybe an interview....

Kev B has over 60K
Claire Mc has about 37K

Those we lost just before the break:

68   Tasos Grigoriou
69   George Achillea
70   Tim Hong Wong
71   Christopher Hunt
72   Dsominic Mahoney
73   Scott Gledhill
74   Manuel Stan
75   Peter Elrick
76   Andrew Papageorgiou
77   Tim Blake
78   Michael Annis
79   James Buckley
80   Amit Kanabar

So, 67 players left in. 

Average is about 44K.

Blinds are 800/1600 with antes of 200

Tom Kugelstadt chip count plz..... also a pic with clear ilustration of the gaping hole on the front of his un-ironed t-shirt that he found on the the side of the road whilst travelling down the M1. Thanks.

LOL on my way.

If this is him, he has stolen a hoody to hide the T-Shirt LOL

he has 19k

We will have a new champion this month.  Pete Wigglesworth needed to get busy and decided that A6 was the hand from the cut-off.  He didn't know that the BB had woken up with AA and last month's champion will have to wait until next month if he wants to replicate his April victory.

Recent fallers:

64   Thomas Challener
65   Peter Wigglesworth
66   Jason Herbert
67   Glyn Rees

Thats the fish. Tell him to do a win please. Thx.

With 15 minutes of this level left, and therefore an hour left of play for Day 1,  the players with shorter stacks are looking to get busy and come back tomorrow with a stack they can play with.

63 players is quite a lot for this time of the day, but with a lot of short stacks I think we'll have quite a few fireworks before the end of the day and will lose a fair few more.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE !!

Last level of the night, 53 players remain

Blinds are 1k/2k ante200

Ave stack is 55k

Chinese Frankie raises to 4,800.  Alan Clarke in the cut-off re-raises all-in.  A count shows it's 23K total.

Frankie asks Alan if he has KQ.  In fact, he's sure Alan has KQ.   He interrogates him for a good minute, and he's sat with about 40K.

Frankie calls and says "I'm amazing at times how good I can call hands".  How close was he...?




























Alan 2s 2d

Frankie 5s 5d

Frankie accumulates some more chips and Alan leaves us.  Frankie must be happy Alan didn't have KQ now...

Peter Haslam v Umar Khan

Will check in a bit...

Hand developing on Table MacGregor - although Claire isn't involved.

Darren Meynell raises to 3,000 UTG, and is raised to 6,000 by Wenrui Chen.  Gavin Roberts in the SB calls, as does Darren.

Flop
Ahrt Ac 5s

check-check-check

Turn
6h

Gavin leads out for 5K

Darren calls.

Wenrui re-raises to 20K.  He is comfortably the chip leader out of the three.  Gavin folds.

Darren is now pretty much committed if he calls, and he goes all-in and Wenrui calls for the remainder.

Darren Ad Aspades

Wenrui 6c 6d

Darren flopped quads and Wenrui turned a full-house.  The river is irrelevant (5d if you're bothered) and a nice pot for Darren who must have been dreaming about flopping quads and getting paid with 10 minutes to go of Day 1!

We've reached the end of Day 1 and the chips are being counted and bagged. 

As soon as we get a full chip count I'll post it on here.

We've lost these players during the last level:

46   Mohammed Sharif
47   Philippa Flanders
48   Ken Clark
49   Simon Deadman
50   Wayne Smith
51   Peter Haslam
52   Gary Orme
53   Alan Clarke
54   Jigar Desai
55   Christopher Bruce
56   Dean Aldred
57   Lee Cowmeadow
58   Stuart Fox
59   Stephen Nash
60   Brian French
61   Raj Dhiri
62   Glen Storey
63   Andy Nguyen

So we'll have 45 returning tomorrow, playing for the £27K first prize.

Counts for the remaining 45 players will be with you very shortly...

Peter raised to 14K and Michelle re-raises all-in for an additional 24K.

Peter dwells for a good two minutes and counts out his stack.  If he calls and loses he will be down to about 40K, and  eventually decides to let it go.

Michelle on 52k then?

Where are you today Johnno?

Michelle bennet 70k

At home booing Steven Gerrard predominantly!! Liverpool were pathetic after a promising first 15mins.  :redcard:

See if Utd can take it to the last game of the season and hope some sort of volcanic ash cloud hampers Chelsea's flight home to allow for some last day drama.

Possibly up for some cash late on tonight and celebratory drinks if Kugelstadt takes it down and hands me my cut in crisp £50 sheets :D

Claire Macgregor is up to 150k ... she looks happy

Goodluck Kev Bloor.

Great updates guys ty.

We'll get a full chip count update at the next break in 30 minutes.

But here's a taster of some of the biggest stacks:

Kev Bloor 180K
Tim Flanders 330K
Sandiep Khosa 200K

Tim seems to be the chip leader at the moment.

Meanwhile on the adjacent table, Peter Charalambous is the daddy with 240K

Also on that table, and showing that poker isn't just a man's game are Michelle Bennett with 170K and Claire MacGregor with 160K

There'll be no repeat final table for Manoj who goes out in 21st.  He won his seat in a satellite (again) after his £11K win last month in the £300.   He's also won a seat for the £500 UKIPT @ DTD - so the fella knows how to play satellites!

Frankie takes a hit and is down to 90K.

Not one to wallow in what might have been Frankie is back in the saddle in the next hand.

Glenn Barratt re-raises all-in over Frankie's 16K bet.

Frankie calls.

Frankie doubles up and leaves Glenn with very little back.  Frankie up to 200K.

Claire MacGregor had folded to the Glen re-raise, and how she wishes he'd flat called Frankie's bet.  Claire had 3d 3c.

Very next hand and Frankie finishes off the job and sends Glenn to the rail in 20th.

Claire Macgregor goes to raise from UTG and throws 11k in ... BB is 6k so goes as a call.

John Sanders is next to act and he raises it up

Folds back round to Claire who shoves, John Sanders calls

Never announced raise and threw in 2 x 5k chips and a 1k chip ... she meant to make it 21k to play.

gooooooooooooooooooooooooo claire

Big clue when you open the update saying siggghhhh MAN down

Kev stop being such a tease :)

Claire is a geezer though innit :D

Joe Grech OUT, I hope Boshi has the details.

GLGL Caire, getting them big cards just when they are needed..Get it won girly. xxxxx

One time for that Claw fella  ;pokergods;

Not much to tell.  He was short after his AK clashed with Mark Elliott's AA, and he soon got them in with AJ v AK and there was no escape for him.

yeah shudnt tht still be made to go to 12k i mean.

Hand between Frankie and Michelle.

With the blinds at 4K/8K, Frankie raises to 20K.  Folded round to Michelle in the BB, who then moves all-in for an additional 70K to Frankie.

Frankie starts his speech play, trying to get a read from the impassive Michelle, who merely leans her chin on the back of her reversed chair.  Frankie says "You're the only one I don't want to shove me, is it.  You have AK or AQ, is it?"  Michelle remains stoic.  We saw Frankie's super-human reading ability yesterday (when he put a player on KQ, who then proceeded to turn over his pocket twos), so everyone watching the table assumed he was correct in his assumption.

Frankie continues "Can you beat Tens?  I think you can, is it?  Just tell me if you can beat Tens and we can get on with it and speed things up, is it?"

No response from Michelle.

Frankie passes...

This.

You're a very bad man  :D

1 more to the Claw fan club GL GL GL

Claire - stop reading this thread and concentrate on the game!!! GET IT WON! X

Mark Elliott raises to 25K, and Nigel Turver in the blinds shoves all-in.

Mark asks how much, and the dealer announces 170,500.

Nigel says "Oh, if I'd known it was that much I wouldn't have shoved!"

Mark thinks for a while, checks his cards, and then folds.

Nigel shows Ahrt Kd and asks "How else can I play them?  What if you have tens or jacks there?"

Man down ...

Stephen Lockett shoves in the sb, Daniel Morgan calls from BB

Lockett has A3

Morgan has A 10

All the chips are still on that table, but it's looking good so far for Claire and her stakers :)up
