day1b report from www.pokerstarsblog.com

Day two always seems to be a tougher field yet players always clamour to sign themselves up for it. Is it that rest day inbetween that they don't want? The extra day of expenses? Whatever it is we he had 143 players enter today, some 27 more than day 1a, making a total of 259 runners for this inaugural £1,000 UKIPT Brighton main event. The young guns and pros turned up in their droves creating some absolutely filthy table draws with the likes of Team PokerStars Pros Jude Ainsworth, Vicky Coren and Julian Thew, well known faces such as Neil Channing, Liam Flood, Fintan Gavin, Joe Grech, as well as the online brigade of Toby Lewis, Chris Brammer, John Eames and EPT Deauville winner Jake Cody. Not all were destined to make it through the day though.


Julian Thew was crippled halfway through the day in a set over set situation while Jude Ainsworth's Kings met their demise at the hands of Chris Brammer's pocket Aces. Their remaining team mate, Vicky Coren, finished the day on 27,300. It was a little below average but considering her recent return from Las Vegas, and the fact that she was bumped from table to table more times than can be healthy, her day end finish was a very credible one. Fellow Vic regular Neil Channing fared a little better though and on a high from his second place finish in a WSOP event stateside he finished the day on 74,500 and is a definite threat in this live setting.


Our day 1b chipleader is Oliver Schaffmann (109,900), a German national that lives in Aberdeen, who is used to the UKIPT limelight having finished runner-up to Andrew Couldridge in Nottingham. Schaffmann, a man with perhaps the widest smile in the poker world, couldn't quite top Joe Drummy's 117,500 stack from day 1a. Following Schaffmann were Amir Zahir (79,200), Waseem Ahmed (79,100), Daniel Rudd (77,000) and Sam El Sayed (76,500). Couldridge is also still in but is dragging his feet with just 8,000 but has the support of his son, Nicholas Couldridge, who is also in with 24,000. It's the first UKIPT day two father and son act we're aware of.


Joe Drummy will come back tomorrow as the overall chipleader but the 20-year old has a hoard of solid players on his tail. Some who have proved themselves here on the PokerStars UK and Ireland Poker Tour others from further afield. Liam Flood comes back with 72,800 and will be keen to put memories of Killarney far behind him where he lost a huge tournament shifting flip against eventual winner Femi Fakinle.

The UKIPT Leaderboard has also been thrown wide open with frontrunner Mike Hill (141.5 points) taking a fall towards the end of the day leaving second place Chris Brammer (128.75), fourth place Marius Lietuvninkas (122), fifth place Owen Robinson (111.1) and eighth place Rupinder Bedi (95.1) all very much in the hunt for precious points as well as a cash finish. The top three UKIPT Leaderboard finishers will all bag juicy prizes with the champ winning buy-ins and accommodation to all UKIPT Season 2 events. This may have made been a major factor in Lietuvninkas' thoughts when he folded kings face-up to Malte Prosse after being four-bet in a cut-off/button battle. Lietuvninkas had three-bet to 1,750 from the button and Prosse re-popped it to just over 5,000. Lietuvninkas passed to many astounded looks.

Join us on Saturday from noon where the remaining 104 players will battle through towards the money and the very first UKIPT Brighton final table.

Who would have ever thought that sitting down and playing cards could be such an endurance sport? Surely folding cards and riffling chips shouldn't be that energy sapping, should it? Apparently so and it's no surprise considering day 2 played down from 104 players to a plucky and lucky 13 by way of a punishing eleven one-hour levels.

And after the blood, sweat and tears we were left with one man standing clean above the others. And that man was Andy Youens whose stack of 621,000 is towering some way above Waseem Ahmed's second place 389,000 hoard. The 28-year old senior sales advisor for Bose has been playing since 2005 is a semi-pro player who readily admits that he ran like God today cracking all kinds of hands from behind. It was one of Youens' outdraws that put UK face Neil Channing out of the tournament in 31st. He was one of the first to fall post-bubble when he got Q♠Q♥ in against Youens A♥8♦ on a 8♣9♠9♣ flop. As you can probably guess by now Youens hit one of his outs and Channing was left to go and play £5-£10 cash games with James Dempsey and co (they couldn't find a bigger game).


Fellow Vic regular and Team PokerStars Pro Vicky Coren came so close to the money but failed to win a vital flip with A♦J♦ to Sunil Moti's small pocket pair. It's always tough but Coren must have felt the bite a little keener than usual due to post-Las Vegas jetlag. There always has to be a bubble boy and that was Daniel Rudd in level 14 who had to get it in with jack-queen and couldn't better a naked ace. Players to fall within the money include Marius Lietuvninkas who, we think, has taken the top spot of the UKIPT Leaderboard nudging ahead of Mike Hill. Rupinder Bedi can't be far behind with his 18th place finish. Confirmation of that all to come. Lietuvninkas had been keeping a careful eye on the points and was unlucky to go out when he did.


Notable players to fall include Sam Grafton had been great to watch at the tables, if not painful thanks to his hoodie. He'd played some great poker and talked a great game but will be left regretting passing one hand particularly against Bill Seber, who is still in the race with 204,000. The Texan grinder has $481,107 of live cashes to his name and obviously had more weapons in his arsenal than Grafton gave him credit for after check-raising the turn and bluffing the river of a Q♦3♦8♦9♣A♣ board with 6♠7♠. Grafton had sped away before Seber even showed his bluff but I'm sure he would have heard the laughter from the table.

14. Oliver Price, UK, PokerStars qualifier - £3,350
15. Sam Grafton, UK - £3,350

If the UKIPT Brighton was to be decided on the sharpest suit of the tournament then Jamie Burland would have been a direct frontrunner for the title - probably rivalled by some little chequered number sported by Paul Parker. As it was the £1,000 main event was contested over twenty-six hard one-hour levels of no-limit Hold'em and, as it turns out, Burland was pretty heavyweight when it came to that too. Although he wasn't a runaway chipleader at any point Burland was solid throughout and never seemed too far from the top of the pack.

It was quite some final table, perhaps the toughest the UKIPT has seen and although it was Burland that ended up on top there were a number of players deserving of the title (of which Burland was definitely one). Despite my talking up of the standard of play the first fall was quite straightforward with Jonathan Campbell's short stack shove with K♥9♥ being looked up by Tomas Cibak's A♥8♥. After that everything got a lot more intriguing and by the time the action was five-handed it was hard for anyone on the rail to tear themselves away. Burland's pack were there throughout - well oiled and vociferous in their support for their man to the bitter glorious end. Nottingham UKIPT runner-up Owen Robinson and Neil Channing were never far away from their man either. One would think they had a percentage of him...

Burland and co hit the champagne shortly after his win but we still had enough time to collar him for a quick interview. 'One hundred percent I thought that Tomas was the biggest threat as I'd played with him a lot of yesterday and I was glad that I had position on him,' admitted Burland. 'I knew Tomas liked to play big pots so I wanted to take some flops with him to limit the amount of chips that went in pre-flop.' It was a strategy that worked well with the Brit flopping a huge two-pair with Q♥4♥ on a Q♠7♦4♠ flop against Cibak's T♠8♠ flush draw. It all went in and Burland faded the draw to take the title to a near-deafening cheer and more jumping around than a House of Pain concert. The low stakes grinder also issued a warning to Marius Lietuvninkas, Mike Hill, Rupinder Bedi and the other top dogs of the leaderboard that he was out to win that too. You have officially been served.

The final five players were a great mix with four young online players and one wildcard in the form of American 63-year-old Bill Seber. To most Seber was an American tourist here for a bit of fun. Not so. Today's £24,600 score tips Buffalo Bill's live winnings over the half-a-million dollar mark and many underestimated him to their peril. In what could well be the hand of the tournament Seber bluffed Sam Grafton off a large pot deep into the money causing the Gutshot player to storm away from the table. 'He's not good enough to make that bluff,' Grafton was heard saying to someone on the rail. Oh yes, it seems that he was with Seber bluffing seven-high on a board of terrifying proportions. Never judge an old(er) Texan on appearances alone. Seber eventually lost a huge flip three-handed to Burland with 9♥9♠ losing out to A♥T♠. It was a massive and emotional pot that effectively set up the heads up between Burland and the hyper-aggressive Tomas Cibak.

Second place finisher Tomas Cibak (£40,100) has heart, miles and miles of the stuff in fact. If we could have tracked his three- and four-betting percentages they would have been, well, quite simply terrifying. The Czech was a constant threat at the final table and always looked likely for a top three finish. The twenty-year-old Cibak qualified online at PokerStars and you certainly shouldn't bet against him becoming a regular fixture on this tour. 'I'm really happy with how I played,' he told us. 'I got chips by three-betting and four-betting pre-flop and avoiding all-in showdowns. The structure was good and I'll probably play in Edinburgh.' I think that after bagging £40,100 we can all take that 'probably' and turn it into a 'definitely.'

Cibak was the player that asked the most questions and had the most amount of players mucking their hand in frustration with day 2 chipleader Andy Youens one player that will be praying that Cibak won't be turning up at his next table with the big Czech on his left. Very well played, sir. Find us for a beer in Edinburgh.

Liam Flood lost a large key pot at the UKIPT Killarney to eventual winner Femi Fakinle and the Irish legend did the same to Burland here in Brighton. 'Liam raised the button, I three-bet from the big blind and he called. The flop was 3♦7♣6♥ I bet, he shoved, I called. He had pocket fours, I had pocket jacks and held, that set me up for the rest of day two,' recounts Burland. The turn and river were the K♣ and A♣. If you want to win the UKIPT Edinburgh then you simply need to bust up Flood in a major pot on the run in to the money. Sorry, Liam, we've effectively put a hefty price on your head.

Although thirteen players came back today to play down to a winner everyone's initial thoughts were on making the final table but there were only eight spots there so we had to lose Ben Martin, Dimps Maker, Steve Thompson, Tony Lee and David Gant. It was a shame to lose them but it's tough on any player to get this close and not make that final playing platform. We salute those players and Steve Thompson particularly for coming all the way from Costa Rica and being such a nice guy (note to his wife: he did not say he didn't like your present, he was talking about coffee).

Seemed to keep getting moved next to, Costa Rican Steve Thompson, absolutely lovely guy who's taking his 1 year old son to Disneyland this week, hope he has a marvellous time.  As for Jamie Birland, brilliant strategist, who sized polts up to the Dinar, totally deserved. There were one or two, chipped up, characters dressed as avatars who deservedly never made the final table, they got a little drunk with power coming into the straight. The track at Brighton has to be negotiated carefully as the reverse camber can be disconcerting, if a jockey can't change gear, he will find himself running backwards. Jamie took a hefty bad beat early on, and I could see by his demeanour that he was a journeyman who was going to be their for the duration. El Sid.

Not sure if i'm getting whoosed, but I was in Brighton blogging the main event for PokerStars and so obviously know what player you're on about. He took this posture at all tables he was at and had this posture throughout the hand e.g on flop, turn and river too and in my mind there was no shadyness or angle shooting etc going on here it was simply his 'baseline' behaviour. In fact the possibllity of him gaining any advantage from this didn't enter my head until I read your post.

I know that DMorgan is good mates with the guy in question, perhaps he can post or ask his friend to comment on this, personally I saw no wrong doing by the player in question.

Hi. I was the 'perverted sheister' in question, and am frankly slightly lost for words - the idea that my being sleepy could be interpreted as an angleshoot is just ridiculous. I'm all for taking steps to reduce angleshoots/scams/whatever, but if you really did think that was what I was doing (which, again, seems laughable to me) then you should take a reasonable, adult course of action like requesting floor staff to ask me to sit up, not making ridiculous accusations and calling me names on a forum that will tarnish my reputation, with what easily could've been no way to defend myself. I was only told about this thread today by a friend - I've just joined and didn't have an account before.

If anyone had mentioned it, including you on the rail, I'd have been more than happy to sit up. Next time, just ask instead of making bitchy comments on the internet.

Dear Cheesie, Glad to see you have found the energy to jump to conclusions. If you read the thread from the start, you will see that I wasn't even on the premises. Having said that, the picture paints a thousand words. Let's face it, if you're going to act like an invertebrate you shouldn't be surprised if you're treated like one.

Would you seriously Sit down in a game where the other players at the table adopted the ridiculous position you adopted. Of course you wouldn't!

The term perverted sheister, might not be that far out. You showed lack of self-respect for yourself by sitting down in a poker game when you needed a night's sleep.

Man on the spot, took a closer look at the way you were sitting after he'd heard a couple of players on your table moaning about the way you were sitting during the break. I re-iterate what I said at the beginning of the thread: I blame the other players at the table for not taking action. Notwithstanding, that the Inspector should have done something about it.

Personally, I think you were attention seeking when you adopted the classic Audrey Hepburn position, what you were saying to the other players at table was: I can stuff you even when I'm half asleep. You're no cheat, just a fool to yourself.

I'll leave you with a condensed version of Father William, from Lewis Carrol. When I was teaching in Tibet the students really used to love this:
( probably not faithful to the original due to a failing memory )

You are old! - said the youth - and your jaws are too weak for anything tougher than suet,
yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak. How did you manage to do it?
In my youth said the sage, I took to the law, and argued each point with my wife,
the force of these arguments strengthened my jaw and has lasted the rest of my life.

And to cheer up my detractors - I was made short shrift of last night when my Kings were busted by Aces, no I couldn't get away from it, this guy plays every pot and the straight I hit on the river was destroyed by my opponent hitting a backdoor flush.  All the best El Sid.

Cantankerous  (kn-tngkr-s)
adj.
1. Ill-tempered and quarrelsome; disagreeable

My problem is that I don't see what gives you the right to be policing this tournament or any other when

a) you weren't even there
b) the players at the table had no problems, or at least not enough to say anything
c) the tournament staff had no grievances at all

You're trying to give someone a reputation as a cheat with your ridiculously flimsy argument which is increasingly looking like a personal vendetta. Pretty funny since you could walk past the guy in the street and not know who he is, yet you so stubbornly maintain that he's a cheat.

Mantiso to prove that you are not a figment of your own imagination, you are welcome to the argument you seek, with the proviso that we can see the whites of each others eyes.

As for Cheesey, He laid his head on the table and laid himself wide open any kind of speculation. What kind of fool puts himself in that position to start with. I'm not out to ruin his reputation, just to straighten his back. ( expect some prat to come in with a sexual innuendo )
Cheezy is probably as honourable as you like and sends three quid a week home to his old mum. Who cares. I don't want to see somebody else's cards even by accident. That's why I don't sit with my head on the table.

Ha ha. Not so sure about the body beautiful Sid. Maybe a few years ago when I was regularly training but unfortunately I have lost my motivation to do as much as I used to.

Maybe you could fix my brain and get me back in to the old 7 days a week? It's strange how difficult it is to break a routine whether it's a good one or bad one. The brain is a complex engine without doubt and it is difficult to overcome what it wants (or thinks you want).

Yes I agree he'll have problems in later life if he slouches but in fairness that wasn't your original reason for questioning his seating position at the table. I believe it was more with reference to his ability to see other people's cards from this position? Maybe I'm wrong here and I apologise if your only reason for questioning his posture was a genuine desire to improve his health and well being.

Ultimately Sid I shouldn't worry too much about him. He obviously doesn't want posture coaching and to be honest he doesn't deserve it. He'll learn in a few years that his poker playing has caused long term damage to his spine and maybe he'll be able to sue the casino for not making him sit properly. He could do quite nicely out of it.

Cheezy is probably as honourable as you like and sends three quid a week home to his old mum. Who cares. I don't want to see somebody else's cards even by accident. That's why I don't sit with my head on the table.

The dominant personality. Yes, I quite like that. Anyway, be clear, the guy's posture could undoubtedly attract speculation about cheating and could indeed result in some future degeneration of the spine, but that is not the foundation of our debate. The point for debate is whether cheating was unreservedly the guy's motivation for adopting said posture as you implied. That is a matter of opinion rather than a matter of fact and thus unfortunately you have zero chance of successfully carrying that particular motion. Unless of course said guy admitted to such a motivation. As he has actually denied the allegation you have been awarded no points and will actually lose your first argument if you persist. In addition, if you categorize me as one of the bloodhounds or associate me with any other particular group you will be losing your second argument of the day.

To all and sundry:  It has just dawned on me that many of the people I am in contact with here, have never sat at a live poker table and would not be able to grasp the more subtle implications of what was going on. This is a place where the North going Zak always finds the South going Zak. And if I'm not careful, I'm going to become part of the crowd. If you read Elias Cannettii, you will find that's a bad idea.

Hi El Sid,

I have just got round to reading Vicky Coren's book. I'm only an inch into it, in the first 20 or so pages there is a mention of how Vicky knocked a "Sid" out in the EPT that she won. Is this you ?

All the best

Mike

To Preying Mantiso1 Q.C. :  Manitso1, you will have noted that in an earlier post I tagged you with a Q.C. This should not be confused with Queens Counsel, it is more to do with you being a Questionable Character. So much so that I got in touch with Henrietta Tennyson-Crocker, who was the Profiler for the Merseyside Police for over twenty years. I told her that as far as I was concerned you might be the missing link. She offered me three prices to look into you! £10, £5 or £2.50p / Her prices seem to have come down since the credit crunch started.

I opted for the Fifty-bob version that would be £2.50p to you in new money. She said that you had parental issues, you hadn't got on very well with your own, and were not keen on having an offspring. She said that the 77 days spent in a chatroom was a blessing to society as it meant that you were not anywhere else. As for you not being able to decide on which gender you were for the profile form, she was under the impression that you could not decide if you were Arthur or Marther and that in her opinion this would become clear to you after you had reached the 100 day mark in the chatroom.

She said that to understand you properly one had to reread the crap you had writ en out loud, in the voice of Chris Eubank. I did this and all became clear. Although Henrietta was quite happy with fifty bob for the profile I decided to send her a fiver. She said that she will send some further details about you in the near future. I will of course post them as soon as they arrive.

To Mike Saban, Yes I was the Sid in question. I have been knocked out everywhere on the planet from £2.50 re-buys in Ramsgate to more prestigious events. I knocked myself out last night at the Rendezvous, in fact I was probably first man out, I played my Zed game. I can only blame it on the internet book I read yesterday afternoon by Zareg Burrini. The Eastern European Wunderkind, who has just celebrated his fourteenth birthday. Zareg's system is that you keep betting and don't look at your cards until the river.

You may have played Zareg on the internet he goes by the name of: GoogleMeGoogleYou. The first time I played Zareg's system I did get chipped up, so there is something to this boy's game.

Things are definitely going from bad to worse, both of my sponsorship deals have fallen through. Saga Holidays gave absolutely no reason for dropping me. And Stannah Stairlifts ( The deal included a stairlift being fitted in my home ) dropped me when they heard that I live in Shoreham Lighthouse. My last resort may well be Pyrrhic Poker who sponsor a lot of players who don't know an ace from their elbow. 

All the best Mike, nice to find someone on this site who can read books and joined up writing.

To sleepy time babe, Cheesy, you have had a hiding to nothing, The barrack room lawyers on this site sit in wait for the opportunity to start up a kangaroo court. They live their life in a twilight world of constant criticism. All I knew was that someone was sitting at eye-level to the cards being dealt. I wouldn't do it, and I wouldn't expect anyone else to do it. I also don't think much of the people who were playing you who, it turns out, criticised the act but never had the bottle to complain - there and then.

There are people who I regard as authorities in this game - Thomas Kremser - for instance, would he regard the lounge lizard approach to the game as O.K.?  As that learned prat Mantis01 would say, Pure conjecture, balderdash and double innuendo! ( in the voice of Chris Eubank )

I suggest that people read your blog - it comes through that you are honourable - in life doing the right thing is not enough - you have to be seen to be doing the right thing. The thing we both have in common is that we were sucked into this site. There is a morbid fascination here and some phantoms who will never be able to exist in real life. I have no idea how miserable some of these lives might be and I don't want to add to their misery by being the eternal clever dick.

Sid, ITT you have called a guy with his head on a poker table a lifeless twat, a perverted scheister, a fool, and suggested he should be hurled over a balcony. After I pointed out that speculating somebody is a cheat is wrong you have called me a prat, a questionable character, and that I have parental issues. Generally, you say you've been sucked into this forum where there are numerous phantoms who are sad/miserable and live in a twilight world of constant criticism. I dunno mate, seems like a pretty negative outlook for a guy who's in the positive thinking business.

Look Sensible is just for starters (The operative word being look ) Now that we know parental issues, is the issue. I will endeavour to guide the boy through puberty and turn him into a veritable genius. Of course I realise that I have a mountain to climb. You will note that I have already helped him to strip aside the pseudo-articulation a la Eubank.

I shall teach him many things, including speaking cockney and doing the Lambeth Walk, lessons start immediately with the opening line which is: Any Evening Any Day. I suggest he gets onto U.Tube and watches the Robert Linday version that brought the house down on Broadway. There's a whole new world out there - isn't it great to be alive.

Try and keep in contact with each other as the last time we had such close contact with each other was before we walked out of Africa.
