Did former blondeite Tony 'Tikay' Kendall play this event?

No - he chose to done out early from the Luton £40 last night instead before returning to Sky HQ to send some more spam out on his new twitter page.

Any chance of confirming chip stack for Mark Trett?  Chip count schedule shows as 19,600, but he updated last night that he finished with 45K???????

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

middy and G2L

tighty just stand by this table and await the fireworks

George Bedi makes it 2,000 on the button

Karl Snow raises to 10,800 in the big blind

George cogitates and digests and eventaully pushes his remaining 24,000 in

He must have picked something up as Snow declares "I actually put the wrong chips in, I meant to call" ie two blues not two yellows

He has to call for the price he is getting

George  Ahrt 7s

Tighty could i get an update for Paul Leckey please.

Just wanted to say that I've just read the PokerStars blog and this one, and PokerStars doesn't even come close. WD guys, top job as usual!

Photos are fine - guess the PS people read the thread and didn't like the comments you made about their blogging skillz. If they are reading this and didn't read Tightys comments they can be found here....oh never mind.... ;-)

Tighty please can I be a real pain and ask for a pic and chip count of Barrington Nicholas and the names of the players on his table. tytyty

+1 agreed. Their even afraid of your great photo's now, just make sure they don’t try to nick your pen and notepad as well.

sod the mid month reports........ office door shut firmley, lap top on maximise, what a Friday Afternoon, nice work Tighty.

And the pics aren't too bad, so don't sweat it.  Let's gogogogogogogogooooooooo!!!

it might be that some of the players have said they don't like the flash photos - the settings on some of those cameras can make the flash a bit full on.

At this point  Mitch shoots me a glance, raises his eyebrows and gives me a rueful smile that immediately indicates to me that his interest in the hand is over

Indeed, folded back to him,he passes...only saying "paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass" with the longest "a" since someone invented the word Aardvark

so torn but...............

yey

Lets hope for Michelles sake Gav doesnt come out of the closet.

How did Aldridge become chip leader?

I was alerted to a big pot that was happening by Anthony Cartwright, who wasn't in the hand but was at the table. On a board of A♣Q♣3♣A♠5♥ Marc Aldridge, who was the cut-off, had bet 25,000 into a pot of approximately 60,000 and Kieran Appleby was contemplating what action to take. Whilst Appleby was tanking Cartwright told us how they had reached this point: Aldridge had raised pre-flop and Appleby had three-bet, Aldridge flat called, they then both checked the flop. On the turn Appleby checked, Aldridge bet, Appleby raised and Aldridge re-raised, Appleby called. Eventually Appleby elected to fold A♠J♦ face up, Aldridge showed 8♦7♦ for a pure bluff. Aldridge now has a stack approaching 200,000 and is probably the chip leader

James "JD" Saunders, Andrew "stato_1" Hulme, and Chen "kate_sexy" yin please!

He is a dealer at the Gala in Leicester

How did Bedi get to 230k, before 160k?

"the button opened and the small blind (Joseph McCormick )flatted. I raised in the big blind with A-Q. Button folds, McCormick shoves. I call all-in. Ace on the flop and I am over 200,000"

Used to work with Mark at Gala Leicester, he's since left and had some decent results at DTD and elsewhere.

Excellent player, quite aggro (as you can see from the above post) but knows when to slow down. He'll be dangerous with chips.

Any updates on Sulaiman Idris-Dabo and Ritesh Chuahan would be appreciated.

Chip counts for Handsome Paul and Bernard if you get a chance Tighty?

If I was to back a player to take it down from it'd be Ritesh. One of the finest players I've ever seen.

Thanks for updates. :)

New chipleader

Andrew Hulme is now our runaway chip leader, having just felted Sam Grafton in a pot of around 250,000.

A board of  Kc Ac 8s 4h.

Hulme checked and Dale Garrad bet 11,500. Grafton called, putting the decision back with Hulme. He raised to 42,500.

Garrad didn't take too long to fold, but Grafton called, taking them to a  Js river.

Hulme moved in for 63,000 and Grafton, priced in, called.

"Set of eights?" asked Garrad.

Hulme tabled  4d 4s for a turned set.

Grafton mucked. Garrad was happy to have folded ace-king. "You had to have a set," Garrad said.

Grafton was left with about 2,500 which went in on the next hand. His  7c 8c couldn't beat the pocket queens of Steve Brown and Grafton's grind came to an end

Richard Rudling Smith shoved 30,000 with  Aspades Ks and takes up the story

"The big blind decides to look me up with  Qs Js. The board comes  Jh Jd 6c Qh and by the time the river came I wasn't interested in what is was!"

norrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...UL Rudders.  Sigh.

 Great updates, good work.

Great work on the updates, Tighty.

Owen Robinson, who looked quizzical when I asked for his photo but perked up when I said Neil Channing was asking about him. No idea why. 50,000 but on a tough table with Vinson and Eames. Had to rush this photo as I was being hunted down by flash awareness officers from DTD!

Chips in play 9750000

118 left on 14 tables

Is it meant to be 8 hours Saturday, Sunday and Monday also?

Will it run that far?

2/1 combined

Why aren't you allowed to use flash photography?

Ok I'll take that for £56.

Letting u abs rob me here.

10/3 the group

Not allowed at Poker Stars events, so fair enough. I assume the worry is that it disturbs players, which is again fair enough

Why £56?

Sent on tilt pls to SickoChamp10K

Great pic of my bro tighty! (Davyd Wright)
Wish him luck from vava

ill take £50 @ 4/1 if you want?

OK Some changes have been announced

Today they are going to play down to the money, 72 players

Tomorrow they are going to play 72 down to the final, 12pm start

Final on Sunday

I have to fly to Austria in the morning in a travesty of tournament scheduling but I am committed elsewhere.

So Sharplea will be covering the two day's play over the weekend. Thank you very much to him for doing this, and to Poker Stars for covering his costs. Very, very much appreciated

and, I get some time off on Monday rather than coming back for the final!

Will do, and welcome to blonde. Get him to post more, too!

Done on the condition you make no bets with Blatch.

Quote to confirm.

Nah, not sending. Caaaaaaaaaaaancel.

:)

Just ship that £56 you owe me via online banking

:) :)

office door left open, sat at home comfy as hell, pork chops, 2 bottles of becks and hoping Mark Aldridge does well, he was ul in £300.00 deepstack flopped set of kings and bowed out to ak, 1st hand of day 2. great reviews guys

We will both start posting more often from now on, we follow this forumn regular, its great :)

I arrive to see a board of  Ts Ahrt Td

Pete Charalamous, the pre-flop raiser has bet this flop and Tony Millan the pre-flop caller in position has raised

Peter 4-bets and it is most of Tony's remaining stack to play


After a long think Millan shoves in, and Peter calls

Tony  Aspades Js

Pete  Ac Qc

the turn comes a cruel  Jh

river  6h

Millan doubles through Charalambous at the cost of half Pete's stack, putting him on 80,000

Bet's off.

Not letting you see one of my horses does half his stack in and take the same price.

Tom Middleton knocks out Marc Convey

After scaling the heights of about 60,000 at one point today, he had dwindled back to about 35,000 when he three-bet jammed over Tom Middleton's opener. "Middleton had been raising about 70 percent of pots," said Convey, by way of explanation. "This time he had jacks." Convey had fives and didn't improve.

Julian Thew's exit

Despite grinding his short stack up to about 50,000, Julian Thew is now out. Pippa Flanders opened to 13,500 in early position - bigger than a standard raise here - and Thew found ace-queen in late. He shoved. Flanders thought for a while and seemed like she might fold before calling with ace-king.

It was a queen-high board, but Flanders filled a straight, has about 130,000 now

Chip count for Richard Sherwood. Would be much appreciated.

OK two chip leaders

George Kranios. 250,000. Picture a 35 year old dark haired tanned Mediteeranean chap. Immaculately dressed. Lives in Greece, qualified online on Stars where he plays Tournaments. Never played live before.


David Maudlin 300,000. David is a UK circuit regular from Middlesborough

I recount word for word our conversation

"David, your stack has had had a jump up"

"Yes, the last one was quite messy. The player raised with A-J, I called on the button with K-Q. Flop seven high rainbow. He bets, I call. Turn another seven. He bets small, I set him in, he calls. Great call to be fair"

"Oh" I said


"I river a Queen, he wasn't very happy" says David

His strategy for the day was espoused to me earlier

"Sit tighter than anything until I hit the money then get lairy"

Thx, appreciate the updates as usual

125,000

I wish I could tell you how, but its too frantic for me to cover much

Anyway as I went to chip count a big hand went off on his table

I arrived to see Cam Law all in with KK, Graham Giles all in with AA and Mark Barsley all in with 88. Giles covered both.


From positional analysis I would say Barsley made the first move and KK and AA were in the blinds. Nasty

Flop K and the audience lets out a roar, Q, A...another bigger roar

turn 10 giving 88 four to the flush and both Kings and Eights a Jack for a split

river 4

Giles gets the lot

correction, David Maudlin is actually Anthony Cartwright.

That he didn't flinch and showed un-erring politeness when I called him David is to his credit, and not to mine.Sigh

A potential winner in the pack - Dale Garrad.  Whos taking bets, I want to put something on Dale taking it down.  He has been quietly crushing live and online in the south for a few years, I think this might be his first foray to DTD and he is going to finish right up there!!

Anthony Cartwright

Any chance of chipstack update for the scunthorpe boys Davyd Wright and Jason Herbert :)

if  going to austria dont 4get your lederhosen and leather thong lol

Have to say a big well done to James Gray for hanging in there. He and I were on similar stacks on the same table earlier today. He successfully doubled up against me with  Ac Js to my  9h 9d, flopped a  Jh and it was goodnight from me.

Great tournament though.

Just caught up and a great solo effort again Mr Prew.

Any news on George Hepburn, stack size, decision on going to the bash or jumper description all appreciated.

Mark just told me he's down to about 130k AK > QQ pre.

Tip: if he doesn't look like Rob Garfield's twin he ain't Dave Maudlin

Sounds like Handsome Paul's gone on a chip binge, know how many Tighty?

Cheers space head,  he told me about the hand :)

ul for you :) he has about 40k just now.

John Burberry was short but just doubled through George Kranios with K-10 v 10-10 blind on blind, King on the flop, all-in pre



Midy has been moved to the Cartwright, Hulme table with 90,000


Rupinder Bedi 210,000

Good on him Mrs J, I'm all for the underdog. Just a while longer and he's in the money. Hope your wife tax isn't as high as my wife's!!

John Eames 170,000

Middy was down at 37,000 and in the bb for 3,000. Anthony Cartwright raised to 10,500 in mp, Middy pushed, Cartwright calls

Cartwright 4-4

Middy 9-9

7-Q-8-2-10 and Middy is up to 80,000. Like a cat with nine lives today, chip stack all over the place and one of THE most active players in the tournament

Any news on Trev Pearson?

dig deep Aldo

out 90th


87 currently left

no jumper today m8, grey hoodie ftw

Chompy was ahead of me on Ephremsen

Paul Ephremsen is now up with the chipleaders and has around 275,000. I didn't catch the hand myself but Dominic Kay who is seated at the same table told me that Ephremsen made a very good call with Q J  on a queen high board which also had two nines on it. His opponent was semi-bluffing with a gutshot straight draw, which missed on the river

Wasnt that Big Trev Reardon?

can see another Bedi victory, gl George

This was a battle of the blinds that turned very ugly, particularly if your name is Shane Riley. He is now out, assassinated by Andrew Hulme.

The flop and turn were out:  7s Kd 5c 6c and Hulme checked. Riley bet 10,000, Hulme raised to 40,000 and Riley announced that he was all in. The words had barely left his mouth before Riley said: "I call," and tabled  8s 9d for the nuts.

Riley showed his  4c 7c and said to the dealer: "Better put another club out there, sweetie." She didn't oblige. The river was  Ahrt and Riley is out, his last 70,000-ish going to Hulme.

Hulme is now back around 180,000

sorry, must readmore carefully. one sec

35,000

Kris Beech is out. Found AK to a raise from Andros Spyrou. He pushed. Andros Called with KK. Kings held

Still grinding then ..... went back today with a bowl of rice.

Gl to him

and here was the hand where Middy lost his stack before the douuble up I reported


Middleton and Aldridge just played a big pot. Middleton who was in early position bet 8,000 on the  Kd 7d Kc board,

Aldridge, who was the small blind check-raised to 23,000.

Middleton looked at Aldridge for a while and eventually made the call.

Both players checked the  8d that fell on the turn.

The river card was the  Td

Aldridge fired out bet of 40,000 and Middleton called.

Aldridge flipped  8s 8c for a full house,

 Middleton nodded and threw his cards into the muck. Aldridge is up to over 200,000

Break, Sigh


ten more players to go tonight

Paul Ephremsen has just pushed Dom Kay out of a pot, building his stack to about 280,000.

Kay opened to 7,300 from early position and Ephremsen called in the cut off, taking the two of them to a flop of

 Qh 2c 7s

Kay bet 9,400, Ephremsen called, and they now saw a  4s turn.

Kay checked, but insta-mucked when Ephremsen bet 30,000.

Kay is left with about 75,000.

Can you wish Good luck to Middy, Dom Kay, Handsome Paul & Bedi pls.

Enjoying the updates.

Peter Abella 230,000

Mat Heasman 55,000

Just had QQ, shoved and the tightest player at the table a very small lady called Bhanisha Patel with a smaller stack than his folded Jacks!

Goerge Bedi 250,000 now. On table Flanders, Kranios, Burberry. Lets just say he is active!

Thanks for the excellent updates. Please wish Best of Luck to Richard Hinds, Owen Robinson and anyone else who's flying the flag for Blackbeltpoker. Good Luck to Rupinder Bedi and Ben Vinson too. Don't know either of them but they seem like classy players. :)

Here we go then, play resumes

Nine players go, we make the money and I can head for home/the airport/oblivion

No doubt it will now drag on for a while, the pace of exits having been unrelenting all day

Come on then people shout outs for these short stacked blondes please. I know a number are watching on iphones and the like and would appreciate your suppport

Lets push Jambo, MattH, Charra, Mitch and Slim99slim over the line

GOOOOOOOOO MARIA, MID AND BEDIIII!

Tom Middy 90,000

James Jambo Gray doubles to 80,000 He shoved J-5, got called by Wadey Ashraf in the blinds with K-Q and turned a 5 to scoop

if ti were to start now it would be a STT. Could all change tomorrow

Goerge Bedi loses 100,000 of his stack to Nicholas Gavriel, Gavriel shows KK after the river, George mucks

Best of luck to Matt H, Paul E, and Maria.

all gone quiet .....

Must really hurt going out now. Jason Murray was on my table on day 1a, a good player even though he wore the worst hoodie I've ever seen.

Don't see any mention of one for the Killarney leg of the tour.  Anyone there who might know what the story is Tighty?  Be nice to play for a change besides always working the local gigs.

ffs Tighty!! am down to the cuticles

Geo

So on the bubble the all in and call cannot be played out until all tables finish

My flight is at 7am tomorrow, worryingly


Just now Rana Gurnam pushed the small blind, Peter Abella called in the big blind

Rana  Js Jc

Peter  Kh Qs

Rana at risk

board  9c Kd Ahrt. The bubble is about to burst.


Camera crews jostle with spectators and I manage to get a crafty kick in on one chap who steps on my toes. Very satisfying too

Turn  Jd cue pandemonium

river  4d

and the cry goes out "dealers, deal one more hand"

Wiiiiiiiiiii go Rana

hasn't been decided yet. Something about Irish Lady poker players being too loud or summat

All lies.  LIES I tell ya!!!

Is there a live online feed anywhere?

This is the livest you're going to get at the minute.

Three players all in called and double up

If two players go out on the same hand they split the 72nd place prize money!


Mickey Wernick raises utg and Tony millan pushes utg+1. Wernick is left short if he folds, out if he loses

He passes J-J face up and Tony shows K-K

"First f--kin hand I have had all day" says Mickey "I don't want hands now"

No there is a live feed of the £300 final on Sunday

Thanks guys and excellent reporting.

wowwwwwwwwwwww - and to "music tony" too

Maria's setback was

I reached Maria Demetriou's table to see her counting out some chips and passing them to neighbour Gareth Walker. The cards were on their backs and it seemed Demetriou's ace-jack had lost out to Walker's ace-king on a board of 7♦6♥A♠8♥T♥. Demetriou slips to 80,000, Walker is up to 120,000.

(http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/UKIPTNOT_MickeyMay_JPG%20%2019085.jpg)

roughly ten minutes per hand as nine tables play out simultaneously, then eight wait for the last one to finish


How are your nerves?

Shot to pieces

Geo

stopping the clock now rather than allowing the level to go up.

This
is
never
going
to
end

Yet another good idea - prob wouldnt been seen on a diff tour / diff venue

smiling is overrated btw

stars do this on all their tours and also is done at WSOP

Between this and the cricket, I'm totally on edge

Geo

What a run chase from Oz and Mike Hussey.

£385k traded on Pakistan : 1/100

Yeah, was saying you would never see this at a CBMPT or GUKPT

Immense hitting by Hussey in that last over

Geo

That's pretty sick,bring on the Aussies.

Oh and great 3 days of updating Tighty,glgl blondes left in

Amazing game of cricket.

Jonathan Agnew on TMS: "Pakistan will feel they've been robbed, but if Australia can win a game like that, they can win any game of cricket, anywhere"

News from the 6 Max



deep breath


there is a raise to 150

HoldorFold makes it 750 with Aces

IPod Johnny announces "raise" and throws in 450

When told there have already been two raises says "oh" and makes it the required 1500

Foldy flats the 1500

flop k-3-3

foldy bets 2100, he tank shoves, she calls

He shows 6-3

gg£200, Happy birthday and barf.


 

still on the bubble by the way


15 minute dwell on table 21 doesn't help

As a non-player are u allowed to call "clock" ?   :)

Any idea what the few shortest stacks are Rich?

Blinds / antes?

The bubble bursts

TYPE QUICKER

woooooo hoooooooooo

Bo Cong Le shoves with Ace-Jack

Zippy Aslam calls with Queens

board  9c Kd 8s Jh Qs

and BO BUBBLES

Right overnight chip counts will follow shortly.

ok then until the chip counts arrive I need to sign off and pack up

Thank you for following over the last three days.

We'd love to do UKIPT Updates in the future, but need Stars to ok that, and I wanted to show, on a voluntary basis, Stars what we could do. Lets hope it leads to something, but if not....I've had a lot of fun, and of course the combination of Poker Stars and DTD has made for a pretty special tournament. These boys know their stuff.


Please help Sharplea out over the next two days. It's not easy, I know, to pick up a tournament in mid-flow when you don't know the faces someone has spent three days getting used to.


Many many blondes left in in this, and good luck to all of them.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wpwpwp to all blondes who have cashed - another flag for the HMD

Wonderful updates Tighty, thanks very much!!

I may come up tomorrow and give him a hand.  Depends on work.

WD Tighty - great updates - lots of interaction and local colour - brilliant.  ;applause; ;applause;

Great updates Tighty.

See you at the departure gate in the morning.

GL Adam for the weekend.

wp tighty

Awesome work again Sir, ty ty

WP Tighty, great updates, I just hope I can be as good over the weekend.

GL to all blondes left in, see you tomorrow.

Tighty, enjoy Austria!

just got home- vwp tighty-   did the work of 6 ( well mor.e if comparing to stars updaters!) absoloute trooper over last 3 days. was pretty sick over exit hand- not had much going for me today- got moved to table full of 50yr+ big stacked hate to fold any pair or big cards . bb made hero call for 1/3 to 1/4 of his stack with qj soooooted. I had been pretty active after all- it being my 2nd raise at thetable in over an hour. It was only 11 bbs and ak same suit was never going to be a match forthe mighty qj. oh well vgl to maria- she really had her game head on hope she takes it down. thanks again tighty.

Back at the hotel with a nice wee glass of wine. Just read the updates, fantastic job AGAIN tighty. Cheers to everyone for railing, with a special thanks to Mrs Jambo who was 21 again today, not sure how that works as we have been together for 23 years. oh well she must be right :).

Geo your a legend, whats your predictions for tomorrow ?

Its been a fantastic tourney, the atmosphere on the bubble was amazing. Well done to DTD for having the balls to change the schedule, common sense is so under used these days.

Good lick to all blondes tomorrow

Cheers

Jambo

Great updates Tighty - just read the whole lot - and also good to finally meet you.

Managed to cash with the amazing chip count of 28,000 with blinds at 3/6k going back lol
Not helped by having the 2 tournament leaders at my table while the bubble approached - no raises were getting through and failed to pick up any cards.
Still, i am still in there and fighting and will be shoving very early tomorrow in the hope of a couple of double ups.

Had the pleasure of sitting at the same table as Wayne Mardle for a few hours (and knocking him out) and he is a top bloke - great fun at the table.
Also had the pleasure of the nice dealer that was mentioned yesterday dealing at my table for quite a while - very nice girl indeed  ;)

Good luck to all blondes tomorrow - it will probably be short and sweet for me, but you never know.
I might even get dealt aces for the first time in the tournament!!!

Nah Matt, blinds will be 2,500/5,000 (500) tomorrow so wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii lol.

Great updates tighty, bravo hacking through all that field.

GL to the rest of you's tomorrow but I'm afraid you will all have to come under me :)

Keep it clean

lol

Hey Tighty, is the lone Canadian still in?

And does he want to play the a team event in August?

wish I was playing

Good to see everyone has enjoyed the event so far. I think out of fairness I should clarify the updaters thing... Tighty joked earlier in the tournament there were eight PokerStars updaters running around. In fact we had two working at DtD for the PokerStars Blog.

Great updates Prewdie Pants.

Massive sigh @ Bo being the bubble boy. One of the nicest guys.

gL tomorrow to....

Maria, Mitch, Bedinder Bedi, Big Charra, Wadey and anyone I missed!

tid

Classy Guy...............

gr8 updates Tighty.

glgl Middy, Maria and other blondes 2mo.

GL to all Blondes today but I want to see a score for team Loooton- er,,, gogogo Paul Ephremson

Fair enough but I wouldn't want facts to get in the way of a good story, that would never work on Blonde! ;-)

DAY 2 - I started with 23k chips and had a nice surprise to be on table O'Connell.

Mr O'Connell is an outgoing character and I was hoping to learn something from his play. He said he was a little under the weather and had not got to bed till 6am. He proceeded to play most hands and as the play developed he was mainly going all in.

I questioned his strategy and he said the power of the all in bet was immense, but had to be used in the right place at the right time. I quickly discovered when the right time was - it was when it was his turn to act. This strategy meant that his stack varied in proportion to his starting range until eventually his luck ran out.

After that the table calmed down a bit and I gradually increased my stack to 125k. A player called Graham commented that I seemed to be getting good hands all the time and he had been existing on scraps. I did get good cards for about two hours but then the last two sessions I went card dead. Graham, however, Started hitting Aspades Ahrt and Ad Ac and  Ac Ahrt with amazing regularity and his stack of about 25k ended up 200k+ . In one hand he had  Aspades Ahrt againt  Kc Kd and 8h 8d with all 3 all in and he eliminated both players for a 120k pot. 
In another hand he took a massive pot with AA again with the cards on board  Ad Kc Th 9s Ts all in and called - I think the other player had AK.
You have to expect to go card dead at some stage but hope that it dosnt last forever.

The bubble lasted nearly an hour and there was much discussion regarding what hands would be played and it was felt that only AA or KK was playable - someone even suggested that AA may be folded preflop.

I ended up with 83k so need to act quickly today to avoid beeing blinded out

Anyone play the 6max ? How did it go ?

Back tomorrow with 85k or CL (there's rarely any middle ground with you) I reckon and take at least top 3.

I know you have the patience of a saint mate, just hope you don't have to wait too long.

Very best of luck mate, all your hard work during the Gala/Coral tours hopefully get paid off tomorrow.

Geo

Fantastic so far James...
Gl today I know you can do it.

ForthThistle

James says cheers much appreciated.....


He is away for breakfast then on to DTD.....
