blonde poker forum

A live update with a difference. The difference being there won't be one for Friday and Saturday.


So, what I'd like is that if blondes playing can update their progress on this thread...whether from IPhones or the DTD terminals or when they get home at the end of the day's play....

Progress reports please!

I'll put up exits and end of day chip counts and then do a Day 2 live update when I can get there...

Now then, the Grand Prix is a record-breaking UK live competition

450 runners over each of two days, 900 total.

£50 entry, £40,000 guaranteed and a sell-out over a wek in advance



Here is what Rob Yong had to say this week

"Well, against most people's predictions, including mine, the Grand Prix sold out at 900 players with 8 days to go.

Since then, we have been inundated with requests to increase the field by adding an extra Day 1 on Thursday. However, the 45 minute clock and 10,000 chip structure means that we wouldn't finish at a suitable time for the filming, or for our gaming licence.

Looking at the emails to our support team and in the club, this event was oversubscribed by as least 400 – 500 players. This obviously means a field of 1300 – 1500 people is possible for us in the future. For now, I want to see how we cope with the 900 guests over Friday - Sunday, before we look at doing this type of event again. The Norwegian Poker Championships, and the Pokerstars UKIPT were big events, but the Grand Prix will be the most demanding so far due the sheer amount of entries in the tournament. We estimate Saturday could see us having over 800 people in the building; it's a good job that we have been able to get the marquee at short notice!

Events such as the Grand Prix and Monte Carlo are important. We need to keep the interest levels up, especially after now being open for 3 years. When we hold a bigger buy-in event, we always try and give our regular day to day customers the chance to qualify. £1090 for the Monte Carlo Event is a lot of money in this current economic climate, so we are guaranteeing 50 Monte Carlo seats in online satellites, worth over £54,000. These will commence 5 weeks before the event itself, so people can plan to take time off work if they qualify. Day 1 is on a Friday.

There has been a big focus on our weekend events over the last few weeks, adopting the Grand Prix model, giving players big prize pools for lower buy-ins. We do know that the weekday evening tournaments also need to be freshened up, so from Wednesday 10th November, a new evening schedule will commence. Details will follow shortly.

Thanks again to everyone that has supported the Grand Prix. We are all very proud to be on course (provided everyone turns up) to break the UK record on our first attempt. We set the guarantee higher than the number of players we thought we would get, so it's been a great surprise to sell out at our 900 cap so quickly. It's given us all at Dusk Till Dawn a boost!

Cheers, Rob"

Im already checking out cinema times for when i bust. Saw 3d anyone?

Im in

lol... like ya style

Showing at 4:10pm count me in could fit in a nandos 1st too

friday seat draw is up on the DTD site

Cool. Was just about to ask if they were going to do it in advance. I'm 46/10 (10!!!!, that'll be a bit of a squash). Any other blondes on that table?

GL everyone, will be there Sat-Mon.

 0/6. Table zero? that's a new one on me.  Saw 3D it is. bringing my own glasses. GL all Blondes.

tv table?

Think you're right.  It's next to row 1 on it's own - so makes sense!

Table 15 for me.  Near the bar...

Table 14 for me...... near the Nit.....

Some lucky people on table 14...

 
Jealous as hell.  Good luck. X

I'm stuck on the M6 but have worked out I'll have more chips when I get there at 5 than I I'd started at 4 lol

Tv table.. Yuck! If the camera adds 10lbs I will look about 510.

How do you know which one the tv table is?

Deduction.

All the tables start with the numbers 1-6 indicating the row, and the second number is how many tables along.  So table 25 is second row, 5 across.  On the seat draw there's a Table 0.  We're guessing it's the final/TV table.

I don't know for sure. But apparently it is quite often zero.

TV/Final table is always Table 0.

O!

Are you still in Dan?

Wiiiiii won a hand 1/1 10250 chips

Did anyone bust 1st hand? Guess quite likely with 45 tables

Sure ami

goodluck to all blondes playing this

Up to 16k nice start

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Got 17k played 5 won 5 mbn lol

Coolered first level - top full house (8's full 4's) lost to quad 4's, put me down to 1,300. Hit everything since like Stan Collymore in a jealous rage. Up to 18k as we speak.

On a side note loving all the original dtd dealers back working here for the weekend also Justina is back happy days

Down to £7k ..... 33. Vs JJ vs Ax cc on J73cc flop, clubs get there on the turn.

Nice atmo though....... And Mr Yong looks a happy man.

Just lost 18k pot with KKv99 all in pre lol I hit a set and the donkey 4 flushed
 Got 6k and steaming a little bit :-(

ul honey keep it going you'll get it back x

What is going on?  It's a donk fest!

How many levels are they going to play today and are they going to play for the exact same length of time tomorrow (even though it starts 3 hours earlier)?

I managed to dwindle to 4k making a ridiculous amount of 2nd best hands.

Have battled my way back to a 13.5k stack, 1st break now.

Am sitting to the left of redsimon who I think has starting stack-ish.

Its a nifty fifty bro.

18200 at the 1st break

Personally I'm not going to play it any differently to how I play the £300 deepstack (same structure).  Throwing all your chips in with 99 pre-flop is a ridiculous play with this structure, irrespective of how much you bought in for!  If you double up in the first level it is completely irrelevant in a tournament with this structure.

Same, I'd make the same plays as I would next week in the £300, but it is understandable for those who dont.

geordieneil was up to 16k after 2 levels

FYP,He lost the geordie bit when he went to play a poker comp that clashes with us playing the mackems  ;)

GLGL all blondes.

Awaiting a post from MC......sorry James ooops

Out.

13k at break down to 10k due to inability to connect with the board.

Then lost half my remaining stack to Fran with AQ vs TT on Q863 board. She biiiinked the river.

Got kinda slowrolled on my bust hand. I 4-bet QQ for all but 250 of my chips. 1 caller. I shoved for 250 chips on the Axx board saying I'm not a fan of that ace. He says I should "stop milking it" which presumably means he doesn't like the flop either so think I'm good. But after I flip my hand he turns over AK. So that was kinda dirty, but meh, nm.

GL to redsimon (~9k I think) and Fran (~9k as well) who were on my table, and other blondes playing obv.

WP mate

Good luck to gaz suffolk, just checked to see if your still in lol, soooooooo jealous that your playing as i told you at work about comp, went to buy in last week and was sold out  :'(  good luck to the blondes and the notts apat members  c",)

Yo-Yo-ing is a fine art

Tighty is updating on final day.    

DTD website  updates those exiting tourney almost as it happens!!

Now above avg 24k

Dtd did not ask for an update, when I asked the question. However I will do an unpaid one,sunday, as I feel it would be good to have one. Not available til sunday though. In the meantime keep the progress reports coming please

Just think a tournament deserves more love!

Would be nice to see some piccies etc

 ;tightend;

10000000000000% geordie thru and thru btw ;) if i had a blood nose, one nostril would be black blood the other white blood

  had great start got up to 16.5k with no real hands, best pre flop hand wash 66 ( i did flop a set with it tho) and 33 was only other pair.  had AK once (2nd hand of the tourney and picked up the blinds whoop de do)   busted AA with  Ahrt  5h from the BB with 4 callers to mr AA's 175 pre flop raise.....with a 5 on the flop and 2 hearts.i wasn't folding in a hurry to his half pot bets andi rivered the 9 of hearts.

    from there it was went downhill :(
  was completely card dead for the next 4 levels, if J2os was the nuts i would have 200k :(    ...went down to 6500 and cry folded AJ on the BB when only solid player on the table raised 4x....easy fold but 3 hours and 4 levels without a hand i nearly got a boner until Mr Rock's pre flop raise.... 2hands later i get  Ahrt Th with 3 mid/late limpers (blinds 150/300/25) looked a great spot to squeeze...BB with just over 5k snaps with aq ooooohh sh**....left me with dust, about 775... the next hand i looked at one card  Ac and threw them in, hit my ace but fella rivered 2 pr and bye bye me.

   thanks technolog for letting me play for you, it's just a shame i didn't really get any spots to improve on the good start.

a very big congrats to DTD for this remarkable achievment, and as always very well organised on the day, good luck to any other blondes still in and those who are playing tomorrow.

   right where's the bar......geordieneil

  tighty if you live anywhere near milton keynes pick me up and i will happily help you out

Back to my starting stack at 400/800 gr8...

Life couldn't be better........ Boshi just got a walk and shows Aces.

I'm still in with 22k ish......trying my best to donk them off, but can't even do that properly.

what are the cash games like?

just witnessed warbwastard pick up a chunky pot when a guy limp shoved to his raise with KK, guy had QJ????, bit of a sweat with a queen on the flop, but 2 blanks to send warbwastard up to 75k ish

  they are similar to tournement poker, but use cash to buy chips, instead of a buy in for a certain ammount of chips.


:)  as always loose as hell and full of madmen. i found that out when i shoved with a draw and guy called my sizeable shove with kjos(no draws) on a 578 rainbow flop

Sigh just been knocked out.............may talk about it later

Boshi out ..... Nines vs tens. May post more when I've finished coordinating the celebrations...

Just kidding mate although I do think should be fading pokers when it's the derby.

:D

About 140 remain the girdlestones are still grinding. I've got 29k mama g on 18k.

Last push now I wanna have 50k+ to come back to for day 2.

Same as today.

3 hours earlier.

Just about to have some more crisps

Mbn

Still in, about 42k...... usually don't like tourneys, but enjoyed today.
Nice, friendly atmosphere, and DTD is always a pleasure to be in, when it's full and buzzing.

About 9 o'clock was trying to give my chips away, so I could go on the beer, but somehow got a bit of a stack, and it was getting too late to go out.
Got lucky with KJ vs KQ  AIPF, and then like a true nit, grinded till the end.

Up to Blackpool in the morning for the SPT, which should be good fun /  chilled day, with a friendly group of people, and Tikay.
Then back to DTD for 1pm Sunday.

Good luck to everyone playing day 1b, and reports on Matt / Stu / Mitch's drinking progress would be appreciated.

Just got back. Went out 176th after having all my luck early -  Level 2 I limped with 2s 3s from BB. Aspades 4s flop, turn comes  5s, river comes another 5, oppo has A5. Unlucky mate :). Downhill from there. Lots of fun though. Finally having lost a couple of big ones got taken out by a combination of girgy and another blonde whose name escapes me but who had a monster stack and was hitting everything. A7 on A7 flop, I go for the trap check, allowing a free card which comes 9. Girgles and anon BOTH have A9. GG me. Hit a 50p/£1 cash table, had a storming 3 hours, £100 spun up to £430. Which was nice :).

Good atmosphere, a few loud people on the sauce, but that was pretty useful on the cash table :).

Made day 2 with 50,200ii

Playing today

Table 26

well done glglg

i am on Mitch's table by the looks today

Over 6hrs grind to get it AIPF, blind on blind, 42k pot (when avg was 25k), me  Qc Qh, nit  6d 2d.  he spiked 2 on flop and then binked another 6... Ashamed to say i didn't take it too gracefully, stormed off like a lil school girl who had just been dumped the day before Valentines. GL all Blondes.

Toughish looking table 66 for me today, although I do have position on Thewy and young Trumper.

The good thing is that it will most likely be one of the first to break.

Hectic weekend for you. gl on Sunday

Playing today - table 56 seat 2 with M3boy in seat 3.

GL GL xx

Played yesterday, thought the tourney was a terrific idea and a lot of fun. Huge respect to DTD for organising this.

Sadly I ran badly so didn't survive the day. Put me down for the next one though.

How can I fail now I'm feeling the NunnyLove!

I'm here and so are the camera's must of waited for me.. lol

played yesterday had a great day , busted out 141st but really enjoyed the day ,great atmosphere as always at dtd , big respect to them ,this is the reason why i travel 110 miles to play there , put me down for the next , good luck all today !!!!  see you again soon dtd

I'm on a table with mr thew and karabiner. Karabiner has just got ai aq vs kq on qq6r for 18k to lose to a river K! Sigh


I have the best hat on in the world today too fwiw!

I'm a nit...
utg raises 350, mp flats i'm on co with QQ i raise to 1100 button flats.
Utg then shoves for 13k i have startin stack.. And decided to fold.. (i know) Button calls with AK and utg shows JJ (sigh)
Jack on flop... I feel much better... wiiiii

Hoping for carnage today. Lots of sick beats please dealers.

On 14k aces and kings already but got little action

Just started level 3, chipped up a little, sitting on 11,300.

Just passed  Kd  Kh to a 4 bet.......he show  Aspades Kc.......FFs!

Would never be folding KK in this comp.


My chip counts from yesterday were....

1st break 5725
2nd break 13300
3rd break 29000
End 50200

Makes me feel better...

14 K grinding my arse off...

Oh dear........so I don't fold my  Kc Ks this time.....maybe I should of when his turns over  Ahrt Aspades!

Rough....

Just turned my 3k into 12,550 in 3 hands, table broken......now on 65.

Shoulda said hello!

I'm on 32k.

I flopped a pair with 68 blue, he flopped a black flush. I won. Standard stuff.

Hmm can't get going get upto 20k then double up 3 shorties in 4 orbits only 10.5k

Of the many ways that this could have come to pass, I really wasn't expecting anything as odd as this:

Blinds 50/100. After the best part of 2 levels, I've played my customary 2 or 3 hands.

EP (similar number of hands played as me) limps from a 8.5K stack. Folds to me in CO and I have KK. I raise to 350 leaving just over 9K.

Folds back to EP who makes it 2.4K

I'm thinking it looks like AK. Perhaps a medium pair 77 to 10s. Possibly AA.

I think about pushing but having lost to AA with KK aipf last week at the Luton APAT and wanting to get maximum value with my big hands, I opt just to call.

The flop is K 10 5 rainbow. Happy days.

EP checks. I check. D'oh!

The turn brings the 6. EP checks again. I decide to bet about 2.5K. EP calls. Now I'm thinking he's hit his set of 10s. Could still be AK or AA but less likely perhaps.

The river is the safe-ish looking 9. There's no flush and only 2 hands are beating me ::)  EP checks again and I shove my remaining chips in. EP calls (did I imagine the hint of sheepishness in his demeanour?) and turns over the beautifully played 78os. The table is silent bar for the sound of jaws hitting the floor.

I hang on for a bit with my 800 chips but finally go when my Q8 fails to improve against K4.

Who needs my 50p?

WOW, Ul mate, that is nasty

Out 2p vs the nuts lol k7462 all in on turn he raised utg +1 with 58 sigh

Yuk. xx

Gone 10 10>>> K K AIPF...
But i played like a twat all day anyway..

lol, ul. great summary.

this is much better than "i ran badly". honesty is good. ul!

here is  a quick one from my table yesterday, i was sat next to this chav looking 30 odd year old fella , hes a poor player (imo)  but hes hitting everything never lost a race , inc knocking 3 out in 3 hands at 1 point, anyway heres another way in which he got tret, a kid in the big blind raises to 2.5 k (blinds 400/800)50 chav man calls, flop 2-3-6, big blind man bets 3k , chav man asks him (like hes done to everyone all day) what you got left !!!! 14k approx is the reply! ok i will set you all in ,,  insta (I CALL ) chav man A-6 , BIG BLIND A-3wtf im laughing like fcuk , big blind has played for like 7 hours solid to then piss em all away to mr chav with A-3  NOW WHAT THAT ALL ABOUT EH !!!! AND THIS WAS ALL DAY LONG , NICE IF YOU CAN GET IT EH !!!

In not a chav.

Am out sweet, flat KK in sb vs co open, bb comes along. I c/r to 2.1k from 8.5k on T87ss bb folds, preflop raiser who cbet 775 bet calls the flop.... I shove the 8 turn not particularly happy and get snapped by 68o. Then get the sickest of sick rub downs 2 minutes later from the guy away from the table.



argggggh

however my hat is the coolest eva!

I would upload a picture but i'm on the DTD computers and they dissallow every possible action so cant download/save or upload it booooooooooo

It was somewhat worse than it appeared as the button, Simon Trumper's son Ben, who led out for 1.5k on the flop after it had been checked to him had folded KK :(

got over 70k.

nice work peeeee leeeeeeee no

lol one of my best poker mates has 70k, +have 75 cant see anyone else around with more than 60, we have a  % of eachother and hes just been moved to my direct right, he 3bets a nit reallllly big, i fold jj in bb and he shows 109cc. fml!

lol i am back home now and off out - had a thoroughly miserable 5 hours where i flopped a pair once, which i had to fold....

went out reshoving KQ black and missing v ATo despite the J37Tss board on the turn

good luck all

lol nice setup, gl!

disgusting level down to 40k. lost 4 all ins v shorties flips.

sounds like yr mate bokked you. ul, youll get em back.

got back up tp 75k, just lost a 120k pot. k92sss, i have 99 he has Q8ss. Fmel.

ouch

I witnessed this filth first hand! Oppo had been folding without looking at his cards for 2 levels. He had only played one hand previous to this when he decided his kj was big enough to call an utg raise and obv lost against ak. Worst of all was listening to this chaps hand analysis.. It sure was an education! Same chap then butchered a hand when he only called a river bet when he had boated up. Saying that I butchered a 40k stack into dust with a super dooper tez play. I also did a 'Leatherman', played like a twat all day!

I would just like to say a massive WP to all at DTD, they ran/run this tourny without breaking sweat. I hope Rob and all the team are smiling.

i assume pleno's friend is James Howard from newcastle. Extremely sick player who just needs that little bit of a bankroll break and will be flying. He is my tip to win this tourney from now on. Depending on how many chips paddy has left, he is my 2nd tip as he has been on form recently. My 3rd selection of the night is for wagner to win Xfacter outright. thank you.

i couldnt win a race, everything seemed to get tehre vs me - hey ho

managed to shove with  Kh Th on  9h 7h 3s 5d board for a 30k pot in level 8 and teh nit on my table called with  Ac 7s - wow


When do we get to see the pics that the sexy ass photographers took?!

i reshoved 20 bigs and got slowrolled with qq, bout 3 mins and he had 60k and it was evident i was steaming from the howard hand. Gogogogogogogog james

ul paddy

You playing 2moro peeleno?

Think im overall chip leader, going back with 250k+ 2moro  ;sark;

[  ] Gonna make sure i lock that min cash for £75 before i do anything silly.

GL all other blondes left in.

Second. Guys got 259.

Drink on Mitch sunday when he mincashes!!

How many made it from day 1b?

mbn!!

with the standard of play it musta been nice to see hands hold up

i had a guy on my right that was open raising 20k pre with blinds at 200/400/50 with J3dd lol
i couldnt combat that skillz!!

One of the things that struck me on Friday was the sheer number of new members this event attracted to DTD. Queues of people registering to enter for the first time, and then asking where the toilets were and which table was 11 etc etc.

Today also, groups of players mingling, for example with hoodies saying "Ipswich Pub Poker" and "Gary's poker club", people you wouldn't normally see at DTD on a festival weekend.

Indicative of the success of this format and competition, and I suggest the overall healthiness of the low buy-in deepstacked market as we see from other providers (Sky Poker, APAT etc....)

and, of course, all 900 of them now have DTD Online accounts


I suggest the Grand Prix concept is a resounding success.


The downside...I've not a clue on 90% of the field I am about to update on!!

 I also suggest that messrs Jakally and Red Dog, or Mr GiMac, are a trifle unfortunate to be drawn together on this table in a field of "randoms" to us the phrase

"Menus to Table 14"

Pass it over to tarb 13 lads.

Girgy if you win this Vegas in 16 days time??

130 left, 90 paid

I am currently watching Girgy tuck into a Pukka Pie, Mushy Peas and chips

So this is the sight I need to convince me to go on a diet, at last.

Pictures not forthcoming, on the grounds it would put you off your lunch

GL to all Blondes left in this, Watch out for Karl Snow on Table MITCH he has gone deep in a few deepstacks and the UKIPT DTD and has loads of chips if he does not bink it hope Mitch gets his chips

Did they do the breakfast buffet yesterday? Nobody has mentioned it. Playing cash late Friday a couple of lads got one of the valets to bring a plate over from the marquee. One guy got 5 sausages (+ eggs, toast, beans, tomatoes, etc), but no bacon. "Bacon is bad for you" says the valet :).

Beware the Ronald Finch - he's a bit unconventional (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=50377.msg1254972#msg1254972) ;D

Gl to Mitch, Karl, Paul Moyce, Shane Cattell, Dan Kilsby, Gimac, Giblin, Red Dog and Girgy and anyone else I know who I have inevitably missed

Pretty sure he was the guy that open shoved 40k @ 200/400 with J3dd busting AQ lol

Gl girgles
Mitch will win obv

Chip leader Albert Clarke is I believe a local player at gala Nobby. A legend for one night raising to 50 quid every pot and tipping the dealer the profit

Great guy and fearless player. GL!

Play is underway


Simon Trumper is estimating a 3am finish

Mitch, a table spy reports to me, opening every hand from late postion blind, and almost defying people to play back at him

In this field, and now quite close to the money, I would imagine he's a pretty fearsome opponent to have to counter.

Can I Have A Chip Count On David Neville Plz ?

Contrasting fortunes for the blondes

udders open shoved A-Q on the button, Foggy no doubt a touch suspicious of his range called him with K-10 and spoike to knock him out


Girgy is having fun. He blinded down to 42,700 and shoved over an opening raise with 8-8. A big stacked big blind re-shoved with K-K, the opener passed

Girgy spiked an 8 first card out (expeletive of Mr Kings deleted, you might have heard it at home though) and Girgy has 90,000

aston u bum

Saifon Lambe, who sounds like she should be on the menu of a Thai restaurant. Married to Adrian Lambe. Regular on the provincial circuits, eg Luton

Solid player, with chips, likely to go deep

Tis Dave Welch, nice bloke but easily led!

OK a bit of advance warning. I'm out in the marquee and can't actually get close to a lot of th table such is the TV paraphenalia around them. I suspect this will especially apply to the final, which is roped off as if we're expecting Tom Cruise to turn up for a movie premiere.

However, will soldier on. We're down to 115 so approaching the bubble. I think this will be a slow bubble, and I think Mitch will be making hay


I am off to find out about David Neville, any more requests please fire them in on this thread

Quite. First quiz point of the day to Mr Kirk.

Good luck blondes left.

Tremendous fun on Friday.

Top man Tighty for updating.

Rich pls pass my bubble wishes on to Mitch Johnson

Here he is, with quite a stack about treble average

(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TM11c8wNO4I/AAAAAAAANrA/zU4Q1lRHSQE/IMG_4202.JPG)

David Neville had 95,000

In context with 108 left and blinds 1500-3000 average was 85,000


Then the button open shoved for 30,000, David called with A-Q in the small blind, right of dealer

(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TM11YJ4P4fI/AAAAAAAANq8/bx4H_WrduIw/IMG_4201.JPG)

Up against 10-7, but a 7 flopped to knock him down below average

Gonna pure bubble this I know it.

How many chips u got

Booder doubles. Open shoves 9-7 in late position, gets called by Q-Q in the blinds

9 on the flop, 7 on the turn. Up to 75,000

chip counts for gay gordon......aka gimac g mcarthur pleeeez tighty.

Hand for Hand 91 left

(http://www.biojobblog.com/uploads/image/bubble(1).jpg)

65,000 approx

Bumped into him on Friday first time seen him  for nearly 5 years, didn't realise he was still in..pass on gl to him if you get chance

the hat is incredible

tyty   wish him luck for me

Chip count for Karl Snow and Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch pls

(http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq167/Andr4w/IMG_4204.jpg)

tighty can u give me a chip count on dave neville please

bubble has burst. No idea who or how as the crowd that descended on the table when the cry of all in and call went up resembled the charge of a rather rotund light brigade


Anyway, some quite extraordinary stuff as the bubble played out


Mr Graham Kingham had just taken down a 5 way pot with A-K on a J-5-3-Q-10 which he had bet the turn and led the river on, having smooth called pre, fourth into the pot


Next hand he open raises, everyone folds and he slams down K-K face up and shouts, voice reverberating across the room, "COME ON!!!". I might stick around his table for when he actually gets called

So everyone is now guaranteed £75, and that is quite an achievement in itself in the top 90 of a 900 runner live comp

As one player said to me as I passed by "this is great, you get a lot of chips for no money at all". Which is undoubtedly true, and there is quite an atmosphere in here today

Wiiiiiii min cashaments. And my first ever DTD cash :)

bubble boy was Martin Winn

Meanwhile Matt the Golfpro Buckingham has recovered from 3,000 to 60,000 "luckily"


Here is another of the chip leaders Mark Tomlins

(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TM2EuPu0a4I/AAAAAAAANr0/_ipZvafoJiU/IMG_4211.JPG)

chip count requests

Dave Neville 65,000

Mitch Johnson 360,000

Karl Snow, below, 410,000 Chip leader I am pretty sure

Meanwhile the £100 £20,000 guaranteed 6-Max began with 144 runners. Entry for 4 levels. Possible overlay, or so I thought until I went in and saw the big queue to buy in

1st break stack 106.5k ave is about 130k.

Dwayne Quinn 270,000

Lee the fish 55,000

GolfPro 80,000. On the TV table and a bit unsettled at having to do the 2 cards down onto the Hole card Cam thing. I told him not to wrry, and just do his thing. I reckon this will see him in the Luton £100 comp by 5pm

Like my word matters, lol.

GiMac out 66th. A-10- shove with 9xbb called by 8-8 and he lost the race



John Sadler, who I recognise as a familiar face around the Midlands circuit for years, was in the big blind facing a raise fro0m Lucinda Howells UTG (the lookalike lady pictured earlier)

She raised to 15,000 with 60,00 back. Sadler set her in, she called. Lucinda 10-10, Sadler 7-7, board Q-7-A-J-A. He has over 300,000 now



GolfPro out 64th, shoved 5-5 utg with 8xbb and ran into Q-Q

just bustod hundo. Grinded back upto 8k then get it in btn v bb Jj v k9 (i gotta gamble i know you have nothing)  993 flop later. Gg.

In shock news with 50 left in the Grand Prix Girgy is still in grinding 90x or 12x bb.....

Being railed by MamaG as if a Mother deer is railing her Bambi, taking his first wide-eyed steps outside Leeds in the big bad poker world......

Quality bokkage!

Dwayne Quinn won a 200,000 race with 10-10 v A-Q to elimkinate a player and go over 400,000

Jakally has recovered back to 200,000

Mitch on the other hand has taken some hits down to 200,000

Girgy 114,000, table breaks and he says "sigh, not the feature table for me again".

Karl Snow 500,000+ knocked out a player AQ v A3, rivering Quad Queens rather unnecessarily


Discovered this chap, described on the lists as Timothy Ian M Steer. Sitting on Jakally's table with a monster stack. 400,000+

Anyone know if there is an evening tourney tonight? One schedule says a £40 at 8pm, one doesn't. Ta.

Mitch and Jakally spent the break conversing over a curry. Big portions. £7 ahead and in my line of sight all day, sigh. Sustenance for the shoving that lies ahead


No evening comp tonight I am told

GLGLGLGL...

+ Karl Snow and Dwane Quinn... GL!

Gogoooooo!

Got a good few sweats in the 6 max too. Gl to them all!

With 28 left I've moved down to the card-room tables. Play has really slowed down, partly because the average is approaching nearly 30xbb I suspect. The structure is allowing a  little more raise/fold

great updates tighty, must be ran off ur feet on ur own.

any notables going well in the 6 max?

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Nigel Webster out 27th, pushed 9-9 called by K-Q Queen on the flop



Big hand on table Jakally/Girgy, but involving neither

Daniel Kilsby opened

Marcus Rawlings shoved on the button

Tim Steer gives it an enormous think in the big blind and re-shoves

Kilsby thinks and thinks and passes eventually (AK he says)


Rawlings AK

Steer JJ

3-4-K-5-J

Steer goes over the 1m chip mark, Rawlings out and we are down to 26

Good luck to David Neville, a short stack specialist. The boy done good whatever happens, as too the rest of the surviving field.....well done!!!

It's Tighty funk for Girgy time. Why?

Well, amongst other reasons (such as, he doesn't get out much) he's playing a seat won in the blonde/DTD League in October by Silverslick

Silverslick and mr bp have shares in him. I think I am promised a meal out of it too.


So go Girgy!


(and Mitch, Jakally, Mr Neville, Mr Foster, Mr Quinn and the rest......)

lol tighty

Mitch has done another 200,000 in cold blood to Darren Foster

Only arrived with cards on their backs pre

Mitch  Ks Ts

Love Machine  Qc Qs

board bricked for Mitch, and its a double up for Foster

23 left a quick resume


Tim Steer chip leader over 1m

Mark Tomlin 900,000

Chris Seider 800,000

Karl Snow 750,000

John Sadler 600,000

Jakally 400,000

Girgy 300,000

Mitch 200,000

Foster 400,000

Quinn 240,000

Neville 175,000

blinds are 8-16k/1500

That meal might be the one Girgy had lunchtime. Are you a Pukka Pie guy?

Keep moving up Girgy lets get him upgraded to a pizza

Girgy to bubble the final/ tv table please.

Only joking. Go go go girgy.

Sorry, Internet problems. So many people in here part of the problem I reckon, all I-Phoning.

22 are left and blinds are up to 10-20k. Crunch time emerging


Mama G is getting tense

(http://fotosa.ru/stock_photo/Corbis_RF/p_2565596.jpg)

    lol girgy to make final, but as the bubble bursts for the f/t all the camera's break and no further tv coverage FTW

Mitch is out 22nd. Going to try and find him, see what occurred. He's a bit "updater notorious" for leaving the scene of the crime quickly though

Gogogogo girgywirgy

down to 9xbb he open-shoved K-7 off, ran into Raffiq's A-Q in the blinds

Tighty, are you able to do a quick update on the 100 quid turbo? blinds average players lefft etc and a chip count for miles "jew" mckenzie if he is still in?

Girgy news


Robert Blount playing 500,000 approx made it 60,000 on the button

Girgy shoves 300,000 from the big blind

Mama G cranes over the railing, as expectant as if Girgy himself was about to land on our planet for the first time, those 27 years ago in Featherstone

Blount, faced with calling 240,000 more over half his remaining stack gives it a think. Not just any old think but a right old think. I am sure he changes his mind about five times.

Eventually he calls, almost defiantly banging his chips down on the felt with purpose

He flips  Ahrt Th

Girgy flips  Ad 5h

The board brings Girgy no help and he is out in 21st

Well played sir


Girgy

"I thought it was the right move against a button raise. I have a good image, thought I would get him to lay it down. I think he makes a massive call. A bad call to be honest"


Say this in an Eddie Waring voice at home for added authenticity


 

Jakally out 19th

Lost half his stack blind on blind A-10 v A-Q

then he shoved A-8 with 9x bb in the bb after the sb limped with 8-8, called the shove and held

So Mitch, Girgy and Jakally go 21/20/19th


The night is suddenly looking longer for me lol

How can it be a bad call if his shoving range includes A5,anyway we beat a small town from Durham 5-1 today and my lifes pretty much complete

19 left and we are a few minutes away from the next break. Full chip counts will be done then. I reckon Foster has a touch under 400,000



Meanwhile Leethefish has grinded a shortstack of 200,000 this far, good effort.

Cheers Tightay

    i lived in hong kong for a year when i was 22/23   i'll translate tighty.....   go and f*** ur mother   :)

Good luck to Tasos, Yolando and Anthony Nicholls.

Possibly the anon too depending which one it is...

I see you have learned the essentials

  always there are abouts this anon, can't say i've met him, but he must be good

that explains my new black eye, and why Mr Chung has been thrown out and banned from dtd.


Thanks Life Clown

how many chips has my little bro got please.

lol all i was taught was the swear words and beer.... pai jow :)   oh and directions in a taxi to the pub.....and ham lam and li hi   :D

Hope you've had a good day Buzz

200,000 or so. Exact chip count coming

He says he needs to win some dosh to buy some fireworks off somebody close to him

pretty sure u can snap him in half with flick

shall i dress up as a clown for the 300?

thx m8ty ,would love to be there railing him on ,got loads of kids to scare.

didnt wake up til 3.28pm

so all i saw was benty stick one in and us win 1-nil!!

nah like iv said already said congrats to newcastle, we were a disgrace

We where amazing.

I dont wana go home,I dont wana go home this is the best trip I've ever been on.

SIGH

Cheers for the rail guys.

Never managed to win a hand when the cards were all in pre and on their backs. If i win the pot with 99 <AQ when i get counterfeited, im up to 750k and fancy my chances.

Pretty sick how all the blondes felt that if they couldnt join me on the final, they would just bust straight away. Cheers, a real show of solidarity, i like it.

See you all at the 300.

leethefish doubled up to 400,000+ last hand before the break

Any pics. of the sexy photographer?

after your tweet earlier I have had my eyes peeled all day. Not here, I don't thiunk. No photographers here in fact except me

the shortest stack at the break Clinton Speight goes 18th

After Dwayne Quinn was knocked out 16th, Leethefish Williamson raised in the cut off and Tim Steer called in the big blind

flop 2-4-5. Steer led, Williamson shoved and reluctantly in the end Steer called all in

Steer 8-8

Williamson 10-10

Tens hold, Steer is out 15th and Williamson is up to 800,000 with 14 left

be scared, he might of meant you

Has Karl Snow doubled up again yet??

Not yet. With 300,000 he is one of the shorter stacks

You're running bad, she was there all day yesterday snapping every player, presumably day 1a too.

i know its half an hour ago but has my bro picked a chip up yet ?.
if nothaw many is he left with.
great updates btw ,well done .and thx .

I hope they wont do a massive chop

I've got one.

I insisted that if she took one of me I could take one of her.

he just shoved the big blind over a Karl Snow raise, Snow passed, David showed Aces

yep. I was offered the gig but wasn't available yesterday. So the players got an unexpected bonus

Must be a chance of that. Many of these players are not regular £50 players, from listening to them and friends. A big big deal to hit this final table for some of these guys

So with 14 left and the chip topography changing at glacial speed, I hear news that the final will be nine handed but there will be a break when it goes 8 handed to set up the TV table

This news was greeted with acclamation in the deepest recesses of my duvet-craving mind.

Well funnily enough and great minds etc., but I did say to her that we should be taking pics. of her rather than vice-versa. Julian who was on my table agreed with me wholeheartedly.

and Karl Snow's great run ends 14th, knocked out by what must be chip leader now Robert Blount

Ul mitch and giblin. just bubbled the 6max myself, like mitch cant win any allins. tourneys diagf, cash ftw. PEACE!

Ugh.  UL Karl.  

currently on a break while various men with stepladders sort out some lighting rigging

Thanks for all of the good wishes.... sorry I couldn't deliver.

Congrats to DTD for a cracking weekend, and  WP to the Prewster for services  above and beyond the call of duty.

Surely the final of the six-max should start seven-handed rather than play two tables of four and three.

It is, 7 handed as we speak

Lee Williamson on a roll, knocks out Graham Kingham in 14th Kings v Tens all in pre

^^^VERY MUCH THIS^^^

Back home now and thinking about my exit hand i think i was nitrolled. Pretty much should be snapping me off there after my std 11x bb shove from the bb. I got the rub of the green in a few hands today so i cant complain.

Really enjoyed the comp but sigh at not getting on the feature tarb.

Thanx to tighty for updating the 2nd day off his own back. Sorry i couldnt ship you a meal ;) (Just tucking into a chinese here :D)

Mark Tomlin makes it 80,000 utg at 15-30k...folded to Gary Judson in the small blind who 3-bets, 205,000 more

Tomlin, who has been mega aggro all day, in a lot of pots, shoves.

Judson now finds himself pot stuck. Its only 150,000 more to him, and he makes a sigh call with 6-6

Tomlin flips A-Q


3-J-4-Q. The rail roars

River 6. Half the rail roars, half the rail wails.

Tomlin out 13th


Judson a chip leader now, rivering a massive 1,000,000+ pot

surely with the tv deal it should be played to a finish?

David Neville is out 11th

I arrive to see that David in the small blind has pushed the turn of a

 3c Kh Js 6c board

Gary Judson calls with  Ks Th

David flips the draw tastic  4c 5c..which seems quite uncharacteristic of him to be in the pot with a low suited conn, presumably having called a raise pre-flop

river  Td, and he misses to depart

No idea what the deal is, with regard to chops. We'll see, no doubt!

Foster is no Fat man!! he is a luuurve machine tho!!!!!

He hits finals he will win it allllllllllllllllllllll!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOO FOSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Good luck to my old mate Tasos, still in with five left in the six-max  ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader;

i have asked about this twice but got no response

UL to get so close after such a big effort.

I was on your table day 1a (seat 9) and thought you played very well indeed, if that's of any consolation to you.

have to take your word on the love machine bit lamm lol

yeah and me lam lol

Get some pictures of the fozzzzy man! Purleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

any idea on Chris Sieder's chip stack please ?

After about a level of pretty nitty final table bubble play, eventually the bubble burst

Short-stack Darren Foster with 200k and blinds just up to 20-40k shoved the small blind unopened

Daniel Kilsby in the big blind found a hand to call him

Darren 9-3

Daniel 6-6

flop 9-5-2 and Kilsby curses

Turn 6

River 9 and Darren Foster is out in 10th

OK from here

15 minute break while they set up a 9 handed final


play til we lose a player


30 minute break while they set up an 8 handed TV final



You may sympathise with me if you wish.



chip counts follow asap

tv table has only 8 hole card cameras. Hence the complications I think

Gl to Lee and Dan- sat next to Dan a lot of day 1, great guy. Shame I got knocked out today before I got to swap %ages with Lee!! That's how well I run....

I'm guessing the 8 man table has one seat less than the 9 man table.

that explains everything,,,thx tom

weee change of plan, one big set up going on now. No break at 8 handed


Ship it. Feels like a right result.

Thank you sir...... the table on Friday was a good one, and I very much enjoyed myself playing some chilled poker.


GL to everyone on the final table.

Here comes the final....

Only 2.30? Lightweight.

Chris Seider 95,000

Judson calls

flop 6-8-6

check, Seider all in, Gary folds



All other hands raise and fold so far



Need these blinds up a level or two to force the play, everyone is comfortable so far

Blind on blind, Dan SB.
Missed the early action so not sure if raised pre.

Flop 742 rainbow I think, dan bets - called.
Turn an 8, Dan checks, other guy bets 30k - Dan dwell calls.
River Ace, dan checks, other guy goes all in for 100k +, covers Dan but not by much, Dan tanks for over 5 miins, gets clock called (not by the other guy in the hand, by someone else at the table), and calls showing 76o, other guy mucks.

WP sir.

blinds up 25-50k

Each pot 120,000 in the middle before we start, 9 handed

river 9 check, Blount 240,000, Kilsby calls

Blount folds as Kilsby shows K-9 to scoop the biggest pot so far of the final

flat call?????????? with top two/////////

because its better than raise folding that river, the other guys line is pretty polarised.

Sadler 115,000

Williamson all in again over the same raiser

Robert Blount on the big blind, with a big think

(part of the characteristic of this final is each hand is taking an inordinate age. Eons of decision making going on)

two folds, and Williamson takes it down

almost through the next level, already...

Blount re-raises to 320,000

Just about the least surprising split pot in the history of poker lol
 

Seider to 225,000

Sadler rr all in

Seider is pot stuck (should have pushed), calls

Sadler KK

Seider 89hh

5-7-Q-8-9

Seider doubles up cracking Kings

ten minute breakhip counts coming

It's ok, it's a twilight world here for me.


blinds 30-60k next.....


Not sure I have ever seen this level at dtd. All good fun

what chips are in play ? never seen a chip over 10k there

9m in play 25k chips the biggest denomination

just had a chat with Lee W, who is bemoaning the time taken to make decisions

He reckons the players don't want to look silly on the TV Cameras, and are over thinking it

this level and the next though, the luxury of raise/fold is going to disappear with sub15x average stacks soon

what colour are they ?

best ask as I am unlikely to ever see one myself ;)

Pink!!

Judson 1.76m

Sadler 506k

Rafiq 817k

Williamson 975k

Kilsby 1.5m

Bllount 1.2m

Seider 1.2m

Woolley 1.1m
