Post here if you are playing, what you are playing and news when you play

It's a shame they can't find room for something that isn't Hold 'em.

Is there a guarantee?

I'm assuming the final of the main event is on the Monday, correct?

It's a Stars event so what does it matter if there's a gte :) Rob was saying he's hopeful to get 1000 runners for this.

Will be playing Day 1b most likely and might try to sat into the high roller event.

Playing main, and may play High roller.. looking foward to it

The gte is 200k Keith.

playing day 1a should be a cracker

Can anyone find a structure for the high roller event ? cheers.

 4s 5s

should be an awesome event and a high roller event, will be intersting to see how many enter. If there is any downside to the UKIPT tour its the low buy ins for regular tour players a high roller event might attract more big name players. I will play main event and high roller if I get knocked out.

I could have played the full schedule twice over with the amount ive spent on sats, fml

Looks like a decent enough sched.

Registered for Day 1a of the ME and will defo play the £300'er if I bust and then the HR satty if I bust that lol.

After much searching I've found the direct buy in section on the PokerStars site, which lists this event as £560 + £0....seems good, juice free. On the UKIPT site it's listed as £500 + £60 tho...which one is right? Shouldn't this be made clearer.

I'm not one to take sides, being biased n all, but as Tikay said in his diary, some of the criticism of the GUKPT goes way over the top when the important stuff (money!) is better there. If you buy in on Blue Sq/GCasino you pay no juice in any main event or side events, saving u £70 on the £1000 + £70 mains if u buy in at the casino. Seems a no brainer to me.

Much worse, I contacted someone at Stars, and apparently if I do pay my £560 of my hard earned money, be it £500 + £60 or £560 + £0 (there is a big diff) I will be forced to wear a Stars badge throughout the whole tournament. So they give me nothing, I give them my business and they force me to wear their branding for the pleasure. If you buy into a GUKPT u can wear what you like while spending the £70 u woulda spent as juice on beer if u so wish.

IS there a way round this, buying in through DTD, or on their site? Anyone know if it's a £500 comp with £60 juice or it's £560 with no juice as they say on their poker client. Gonna ring Channiig now for his take on why this tour is so much better, hmmmm

I give them my business and they force me to wear their branding for the pleasure

Really? That's just ridic..Hell, that's even more ridic than having to wear the badges for sites that you qualify on for the WSOP IMO.

You can buy in DTD Shop  http://www.dtdshop.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=17

You get a t-shirt and hat out of it .  :D

They dont force you to wear their stuff on day 1 or day 2.  Might be different if you final table.

Its def £500+60, Im not sure why stars client shows it as £560+0 but I dont think its anything we would need to worry about.  You can buy in through the DTD shop.

Does it say where you have to wear a stars badge? Could you wear it on your trainers for example?

Some of my cardigans just wouldn't handle a badge :)

It's pretty damn obvious....don't really feel it needs to be cleared up.

I can figure out myself that the buyin on the site obv means there is no rake from buying in online and the 560 goes to DTD, 60 of it is obv the rake.

GUKPT is great except they dont get the runners anymore and they are in far flung places making it a bit awkward to get too.

can anyone clear up the side events? official site not displaying sides whereas on dtd site showing up as side events on 11t and 12th?

think they are pretty slack about the logo's until final table

gukpt should def be commended for the rake free online buy in, but having a pop at stars is a bit petty imo.

Why list it as £560 + £0 in one area of your site and £500 + £60 on another are of your site? Shouldn't have to guess where the rake is and who it goes to, I don't care, it's either £500 comp with £60 rake or it's not, I don't care if it goes to DTD Stars or anywhere else, I just wanna know what the comp costs and how much is going to the prizepool and how much isn't, however damn obvious you think it is. It should be listed as £560, not with the plus £0 afterwards giving the impression there's no rake (if they can't manage to write £500 + 60 on every part of their sites.

Not sure I understand about the far flung bit, the UKIPT events are much more spaces out no matter where u live, Cork, Edinburgh, Galway, Ncle, Brighton aren't all close to anywhere so that's obv not relevent.

Cheers for the heads up about the DTD shop, didn't know such a thing existed, will buy in there instead

Didn't make the point out of pettiness, tho thanks for the accusation, made it out of balance and comparison in pointing out something which is obviously unfair when they're giving nothing in return. I don't see why I have to wear a logo when I've bought in, if you could explain why, which would obv break my contract with my sponsor, I'm all ears, unless it's petty to ask why they're giving provisos before allowing me to spend my money

Just point blank refuse to wear it. What are they gonna do? Tell u off?

Well, if they make you wear it, you could always chop up the letters into a word of your choosing as some form of peaceful protest?

That said if you're wearing the patch your probably on the final table, and wearing/not wearing the patch will be the last thing on your mind.

buy in with cash then? stars are putting on a service think they are entitled to put stipulations on to it if they want. the same way i think would be perfectly reasonable for gcasino to ask online buy ins to wear a patch too.

and for your £60 rake you get the stars party, a buffet (notts may be an exception on this front not sure) some of the best dealers in the country, the chance to be on tv etc etc

dno...it's their comp they could get petty. I don't see how they could stop u wearing it under a hoody or something tho.  I remember the powers that be at Ladbrokes were seriously considering pulling John gale out of a wsop event he had either bought into or qualified on the site (can't remember which) coz he wouldn't wear the patch. Was the yr he won the bracelet so he was getting plenty of press n their attitude was we paid his buy in so we can withdraw him. They decided the negative publicity wasn't worth it but they really wanted to do it

did someone spike the water at blonde in the last few days or is a full moon?

ber-dum-tsch

oh wait...................

gogo Shrewd

I played in Galway, and played to 12th (Blantant Brag) and last session on TV table; no requirement for Stars logo to that point - Strummer from Badbeat got asked to tape his over, however my understanding was that was only because it was an inch or so too big and not because it wasn't stars...

TBH - Galway impeccably well organised, great dealers, great format, structure - so IMO hard to criticise...(I am a freeloader that loved the hoody, cap, mousemat, etc and the entry to a freeroll in which I binked DTD seat).  They do it well

Cant ever see Stars getting arsey over this tbh. Also sponsored players don`t ever buy in on their software as you will be known as `pokerstars player` on their updates.

Don`t think your sponsor would be very happy about that in any case.

ta

i won a satty on stars last week for this ukipt Nottingham i read terms and conditions that  said  if my sat was fpp then i would be required to wear a pokerstars logo if i made final table ....but not if it was as  a cash satellite!!

Why say you are unbiased when you obviously are.  You are being petty trying to rubbish an excellent tour whilst trying to big up your dying one.

I hope channing answers the phone.

Bam, jaffa, will introduce you both in 2 weeks in brum :)

obv has apoint tho cos...the stacks for alternates was a complete fuck up day 1a. i think geoff is flogging a dead horse if he thinks anything other than stars taking over is gonna happen. also with dtd having more £1k monte carlo events then this will undoubtedly kill off gukpt. jon rabb aint no rat but the old saying about sinking ships etc. imo only thing that can save gukpt is appointing super dena as head honcho. zac for 2nd in command and let ian be sharky or valet.

One tour is run by a casino which never provide what you want, the other is run by an online force with a birrion people that can satellite in. Just let the grosvenor tour die, hopefully we'll get more poker clubs like DTD as opposed to management run profit hoovers.

Why?

Like I'd want to waste valuable time being bored by either of you when I'm chilling with the Glenfiddich Gang

lol

I have never understood why if you win a sat on any site you should be expected to wear their logo.  You use your money to win the seat and pay them rake at every point.  If the sats were rake free or they added money then fair enough but they don't.  There is no other sport or game in the world where the players are exploited in the way that (unsponsored) poker players are.  Almost no casino ever adds money yet for every tourney that we PAY to enter we effectively sign away image rights etc.  My nephew is a decent footballer (sick brag I know) and ever since he first signed schoolboy forms has had control over his image rights and they are a decent part of his contract now.

I asked the person who runs the tour how to buy in, she told me u can only do it online but made sure I knew she's be asking me to wear a pokerstars patch from the moment I sat down. Sponsored players who aren't being bought in directly to the event they are playing need to but in somehow, if they don't live near teh casino the event is playing in, and the casino isn't part of a chain they can get to locally, then they have to find another way, which is why I posted asking how else it couldl be done.

My sponsor wouldn't be happy with that appearing, that's why I asked if it could be done differently, apologies if that didn't come across clearly

I see u didn't quote me as saying I was unbiased, interested to know why that was? Possibley because it's not the case but it sounds good if u say it? I don't have a tour, I don't get anything out of supporting one tour or another, personallly I hope they both flourish, and many more, as I like playing good tournaments in england, and I dno why any poker player would want one to die, the more the merrier don't u think?

I merely pointed out facts betwee the two tours that I think are unfair in one and are beneficial in the other. If u want to base anything u say on fact rather than things that u think are 'obvious' but are basically untrue, pls fill your boots

There was defo a mistake in the alternates in manchester so I hear, these things happen. I think in galway the ukipt seat draw didn't appear random and all stars pros were sat beside each other, all the leaderboard winners were beside each other, pals who bought in together were sat next to each other. These things happen unfortunately, at the end of the day it doesn't affect matters too much, esp if it's fixed quick. As it happens the same thing happend to me in the wsop mauin event last year, hey ho. You'd have to ask Jon if he left because he thought it was a 'sinking ship' but I know that wasn't the reason he left. He had set up and taken a new idea as far as he thought he could and wanted to and should be congratulated for such astute thinking and wished well in his new venture.
What do u think changing the superiority of the tds would do? Zac is the best td in the UK as far as I've seen, and I think I've played under every one. Even if people disagree with that, and obv that is a matter for discussion, I don't see the td as being a major problem for the gukpt, do u? U think if dena was promoted above zac that would change things how?

Really don't get this attitude. If the GUKPT was to die, if grosvenor stopped adding £300k to the UK poker economy, that would benefit any of us how? Why would anyone, poker player or anything else, want that to stop?

Please say a prayer for the GUKPT.... their friends and family are worried it may be lost.  No news yet, no further media coverage, does anyone have any ideas how to HELP US? got any friends in the media? thanks to everyone's support so far.  Please copy and paste this to your facebook status or worms will eat your toes and other bad things etc

your comments are valid and you continue to be respected by the majority of players in this country geoff. i agree zac is excellent and my personal gripe is with ian and not really the gukpt. ian continues to make stupid rulings that are at best wrong. i think on a p.r. level dena would be good for the tour and you wont have too many people in the manchester area wanting to put here in the boots of their cars when they disagree with her decision. i also feel that there are not enough chances to win seats and when you ante up £2500 for the vic in dec and £1000 for manchester it puts a big dent in the roll if you dont cash. i have always maintained that the gukpt is by far the strongest tour event in this country due to the higher number of pro players but people can only take so much before they say enough is enough and dont ante up

If you can just get us back into the grosvner, I'll happily support the tour, tyvm in advance

Is Jeff trying to improve his typing speed?

wtf you banned for dreenie? smacking the door staff in sheff G only gets you 6 months but can be reduced on appeal if you do your nuts (brains in your case) at the tables

Jeff you have some valid points but it's clear that they are to defend your sponsor and not some random observation. Fair play to you- if I was sponsored I would be doing the same.

fact remains is that stars know how to run tourneys and grosvenor keep getting things wrong imo. I agree tho that I would like to see both tours flourish. Let's hope Grosvenor can get their house in order- numbers in Manchester suggest it's far from dead

mcr was buzzing i cant see the gkupt fading great when you win side event there is a 10k 20 seater comp the following week cant be bad. i personally want both tours 2 do well along with genting events no need 4 expensive flights and hotels. lets keep the poker in england

sigh - trouble tends to follow me wherever I go - Basically had been barred once for going mental at a blackjack table, then got allowed bck, took a "so called friend" one night, got them to join up, played some pokerz, cashed out, waited for the person to do there nuts on the roulette wheel, they got there money bck, asked them to leave as I was driving and had to be up early in the morning, they kept playing, moving table to table, I kept askig them to leave or said I would just go, they kept ignoring me, they then complained to the floor, said I was harrassing them?

The floor gtd me I would not be in trouble, as I asked them to check the cameras, we had come i together, I was the one who drove us up there, obviously, my name had been in the hot water b4, and 4 days later I got a letter in the post, been nearly 3 yrs now and after 3 letters, still no joy, so kinda given up on the whole thing....

LMAO!

LOL good friends you have....... :D

I understand honesty is not allways the best policy on a public forum, but hey ho  ;)

Pretty tilting, that I have never had a chance to play a GUKPT tho, I reckon I could of had a trophy on the mantelpiece by now....oh but to dream zzzzzz

We soon ended our friendship after that eposide lol - I was pretty offended by the whole thing tbh, trying to make sure a friend got home safe, and end up getting barred was never the plan !

This.  I'm heartily sick of airports.  I don't understand why people would want GUKPT to die when it contains the highest buyin regular events on the British schedule.  The UKIPT is a nice addition, filling the gap the GBPT left, but if all we have is the UKIPT and £500 becomes what people consider a high buy-in then you can consider british poker a failure.  I'm going out of my way to support the GUKPT this year with all the addittional money theyre pumping into it, despite them scheduling events against the EPT.

I also think its unfair to accuse jeff of shilling.  I have zero affiliation with grosvenor or any of the sites involved, but am equally baffled by people who want the grosvenor tour gone.

+1 to all the posts saying they want both tours to co-exist. I've had my gripes with the GUKPT in the past (possibly related to my going 15+ events without a cash) but competition between poker providers can only be a good thing for players.

fyp

ha, true. btw you gonna be at ukipt notts? might be able to give you your share in cash if you do...

fyp

crystal maze end end game in the car one time

lol such an absurd balla, will be there am going to take you to a v nice dinner....

I am sending you bank digits now

Yay, although sigh at boring old bank transfers. Was hoping to rock out the carrier bag full of used banknotes a la the crab

crab bringing 50k in cash, with some £5 notes lol to the golf course then us leavin it in the lockers all day!

oh plz do a poker version of crystal maze would b epic

ha that was epic, lobbing £5k bricks at me shouting "redddddies"

Then saying he has paid me even though i refused to accept payment, fml, looking around every corner expecting 6 romford boys about to do a job on the lockeroom.

Crystal Maze sounds a great idea though, might change my mind.

What are the % chances of turning up on Friday at 11.55am and still being able to buyin?

Can't play Saturday.

just ask a dtd reg m8?

CRRRYSSSTALLLL MAAAAYZEEEEEE PLSSSSS WAN TIME

lololololololololololololololololololololololololololol

Some may think it's misleading, others not, but it has to be listed at £560+0 on the online site, so that all of the money gets retained in the "prizepool" (holding tank) rather than some taken as fees for the online site. If it was £500+60, 60 would be taken as a registration fee when you buy in and only 500 transferred to the prizepool. I'd imagine DTD gets most of the reg fees for hosting the event, and so this money needs to go to them, rather than being taken by stars as rake. If you see any other direct buy in on an online site (there are some on ipoker) they are all done this way, and my guess would be if you asked Blue Square how they would do direct buyins if they were charging juice, it would be done this way also.

The person who claimed Jeff was being biased I'm guessing didn't read his 1st post where he states that in like the opening line.

Also, Chris, Stars aren't "providing a service" letting you by in online (thus we should be grateful and wear their patches). Jeez, this is their event, they want as many runners as possible and so they should be falling over themselves to create ways for people to buy in which may be the most convenient for them.

There are good points to both tours and points that should be learnt from both tours. I agree with some of the comments re how important a good TD is, as well as a consistently applied set of rules. Jeff's point that whoever wants £300k of added money into the poker community to "die" is at best short sighted. Plenty of Stars fanboys ITT who don't seem to be able to keep a balanced view.

Ps good point Flushy about the locations....

this does have a lot to do with Grosvenor continuing to build really really nice casinos in pretty terrible places, but it's prolly a slick move for them long term.

Does anyone know what the cap on players is for the days one of the ME?

whoosh

Hey, havent been dtd for a while. Anyone know best hotel for train travel? Iv heard Jury's Inn (but that was from the greek, ahem) is decent, confirm?

Jurys inn is nice alexis. Next to the station and not too far from DTD. Book it!

Jury's/Crowne Plaza/Park Plaza for city centre.

Holiday Inn Castle Marina for ease of getting to/from DTD.

Avoid all Premier Inn's, they are fkin horrible.

alex what day1 are you playing?

I woulda said the same about Travellodge, and said PI you know what you are getting even if all those chains charge too much. Beds are normally pretty good at PI imo.

Forgot about Travelodge, prob cos I never stay there.

PI beds are hard as shit - well the Nottingham South ones are. Never staying there again.

unsure. which are you playing? might just go out on town friday then play sat?

Defo Jury's inn FTW

u coming? they can then advertise £1k added.

ta, think gonna go jury's, letting the greek organise so there's a load of us there.

sigh, id say £1500 added but now ur a confirmed shark i might not even play :)

I'm heading up on friday night and there saturday too and some of sunday.

Not playing the tourney, just going out for the Baby Jebus/Keys celebrations and some cash games.

Who else is coming? Anyone from down here?

Also, Jury's ftw.

LOLz, I doubt I can run that good back to back  ;whistle;

Day 1b for me :)

can you buyin direct on DTD website? dont play on stars often and i have a low deposit limit.

Hi guys and gals, this weekend one of my friend's has had to pull out due to a family bereavement and thus would like to get rid of her non refundable Premier Inn city centre room.


Anyone out there that can help it would be great :-)

Saturday - Tuesday

Cheers

Would be fantastic if the many blondes playing this put their progress on here at some stage, whether during or after play

Would be great for those of us who can't make it to get a flavour of the event

Good luck everyone.

I don't think there is such a thing Alex, there are physio's though.

Qualified online. Been told I'm playing day 1a but not on the player list

I requested day 1b a few weeks ago and they said they submitted my request but I have not heard anything. I assume it will be ok but I was just thinking how I could check just in case? Other than checking the player list at 12pm, if you have any ideas how I could check please post it. Thanks

just send Alex a message on facebook

Ok Ta mate

Did chunks yday alex, I'll massage your back. What's the rate?

Good Luck to all competitors. I have too many divided loyalties to mention individuals. Hope you ALL have a great time dancing with The Devilfish and that all of the Stokies playing do well. ;goodluck;

Poker is a game built on stats and thus far 20% of the 20 players who've been eliminated have a first name that starts with the letter J.

Playing Day1B of the UKIPT, everyone keeps raising me on the turn, tempted to just go to the cinema...

How many levels do they accept alternates for? Not far from breaking 1,000 runners...

Lol at the stars rules. If a person acts out of turn the whole table gets a warning. Then the next person to do it gets a 2 round penalty irrespective of whether he offended before or not  :D

was 3 yesterday

Actually it's only 1 today we've just had one,

Was 1 yday on our table as well.

Also you dont have to show the winning hand at showdown if the other player mucks

good luck jim take it down mate

Up to 39k at dinner break, hope the next 5 hrs go as well

1052 runners is immense

£526,000 prize pool!

Stunned, what are the fabulous prizes ?

The record-breaking UK field has provided an incredible £109,000 first place prize, not bad for a weekend's work. There's a five figure score waiting for most of the final table and even the 128th place finsiher gets to double their money up to £955.

Tournament leaderboard points are up for grabs as well and the current leader, UKIPT Galway winner Nick Abou Risk, is currently ahead. You can check the points here.

FU Stars (http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/mad/mad0248.gif)

Most tilting day of poker I've played for a while

This payout schedule is totally effed up if you ask me.

I think paying only 20% of the pool to the winner is bad, But even worse is the fact the 9th place finisher getts only 11 times his money for outlasting over 1000 players.

They are paying far too many spots.

If you didn't pay places 97-128 there would be an extra 25k to spread amongst the final tablists and they would still be paying over 9% of the field.

Simples.

Its stars. Course the payout is effed

Going back tomorrow with 55k

Went on a nice run last hour managed to go from 55k to 180k and finished in 5th place for the day.

Going back to 107k  Is there a full chip count online Brummie?

Only see that one at the moment for Day 1B:

http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/tournaments/ukipt/season-2-3/nottingham-1/chipcount.html

Well done chaps, am pretty jealous with the amount of money on offer. GL tomorrow  :)

Pizzled is in 8th place overnight - come on Gav take it down!

Good luck Gav!!!!

Seems that was before they merged day 1a and 1b.I have just rechecked for other names and he is now listed 13th, doing well though. I don't really trust these lists as being accurate as they had Jake Cody with 27,500 and he was knocked out!

agree with camel, more money up top, noone is that arsed about doubling there money after two long days. Obv doesn't bother me any more, nice to make a fh with AK in a 100k pot on AKKxx board...not nice when the oppo has AA...sigggggh

This - -

I really don't know how anybody wins on there site tbh....

Unless u were talking about the live comp, - ul

Better to of played and lost, than to never of played at all, keep your pecker up :-)

Anyone with any stories of there day's play from ukipt? - Feel free to post here, interesting to see how peeps got on throughout the 2 days, and for the next 2 days.

gl to each and every one of you, may your cards be AA and your pots be 200k +

over and out

Played notts UKIPT day 1b today and got redic unlucky. Had 25k blinds 200/400 50 ante. Im in mid pos with 66, frequent raiser raises to 1100 with AA i rr to 3550

dont wanna see a flop with 6s

I did happen to play this tournament, If I'm brutally honest, I didn't enjoy it from a personal view, I tend to play online mostly these days, and was not comfortable with so many people, kind of like a personal thing more than anything...

Being totally disorganised did not help, was on the alternates list (28th), but DTD being DTD, managed to get in at the start of level 2.

Was playing really badly from the moment I sat down, did not feel comfortable, and was calling off silly bets when there was no need to.

The cut off raises I'm on the button with 10 8, I flat, the bb re raises another 2k, cut off calls, so I call. flop comes 9 high rainbow, they both check, so I bet 7kish and they both fold.

I gradually build up and then early postion raises I'm next to him and decide to flat, sb re pops 1800 more, o/r folds, I call with KK, flop comes Q high with 2 dd, I chk raise, he sets me all in, I call he has  Ahrt Ad lovely - I am ready to walk and then a god send slams a  Ks on the river....

I then make a horrific play when I raise all in on a paired board, when I make the nut striaght, and he has quad 2's, I then get my remainder AIPF with 99 vs AA on life tilt, flop a flush draw and turn an open ended straight draw and miss ..

Deserved to lose, and was gutted at how bad I actually played when I was looking forward to this comp for so long.

Hopefully I can play in the next leg, and make amends.

Great tourney tho, and well done, once again, DTD, for running such a smooth ship!

Over and out

Why not bud?

CBA, but a general (http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/mad/mad0248.gif) would be appropriate to how tilted I felt when I left...........

Cos theres usually overcards and u dont know where your at. I usually move all in pre to find out where im at before the flop. If they fold Im winning if they call Im not (unless people call with that drawing hand AK)

Bad beats = 0

Bad plays = 0

Shippage = 0

I am sure Jake Cody is out at least they reported him as being out....

and gl Jambo. Sorry I didn't spot you in the list

Even more important, so is his beautiful Mum. Tighty will be SO dead when she next sees him at Luton.

My story Day 1: got upto 50k when avg was 17k, mainly by bad play and loose bluffs, lost said 50k mainly by bad play and loose bluffs. Pretty tilting when it was standard for guys on my table to be seeing AA x7 times, KK x 4 times and I am having to pick up scraps, 3 betting with 36 sooted etc. Doubled up against AA and went out against AA. GL to all blondes left in this. Has give me a taste to maybe even travel further to play some more of these events.  Special shout out to Mr n Mrs Deadman. (saves me spelling her name wrong)

My spies tell me Karabiner is safely in the money, with about 70k and 100 left

In. Beyond that can't help you

Nope unfortunately not. I busted like 132, 128 get paid.

Came back with 73.5k at 1000/2000/200, but lost some pots. Then with like 16bigs, I 3bet jammed over a somewhat serial opener with AJ, he called with 88 and held. Standardddddddd.

According to the latest update, Karabiner has jumped to 250k in chips.

Someone check the deck, there can't be THAT many aces in it can there?

262,000

that 12,000 makes all the difference


go on Ralph!! ladddddddddddder

Latest chipcount

http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/tournaments/ukipt/season-2-3/nottingham-1/chipcount.html

er yes, I just posted from those above...


p.s go Gavin/Pizzled!

Updates are awful on Stars, we need Tighty, Leigh and The Mouth. Come on Blondes especially Pizzled!

oops sorry Rich didn't see it until after posting!

My ear to the ground hears that Ralph doubled up with AT v AQ.

Four spades oin the board to match one in Karabiner's hand makes a FRUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH!!!!!

Go on my cocker!

to be fair to Nick (dino1980) and Rick, they aren't trying to do live updates in the way blonde does them. Both write very well. Just your insatiable desire for constant information Nellie!

It is just that you spoil us Rich!

Come on Ralphy.  ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck;

I'm not going to lose my rag like I did with the Aussie Millions updates, but Dave Colclough is one of the biggest names in UK poker and he's had a huge stack all day but as far as i can see there has not been one chip update about him.

Disappointing imo.

59 left Colclough 312,000

tbf think he has been on the feature table so they cant get close enough to report hands

I didn't mind the lack of hand updates, would have been nice to know he was still in and a rough estimate of his chip count though.

EDIT: He's in there at last, GL El Blondie, he's not had a great 12 months, hopefully a deep run here will put a smile back on his face.

Has him on 775k

Just spoke to Karabiner, he's just doubled up again, QQ v AK

"Never won 3 races in one tournament before" he said.

This is a good time to run gooooot.

He's got 350k and the average is showing at 280k

Go on my son!

Go on Ralph!

Stuck on about 600k for the last couple of hours, 52 left

Pizzled on 300k, 77dave 250k.50ish left.

Gd luck them.

tough life

Come on Gav &  gl to Blondes

GL to all Blondes still in, esp Gav Kan.

Would like to see dave colcough on FT, ul Jambo as well mate for gettin so close to the money :(

Thanks everyone, it's getting tough now. Fml holdys just eaten my dinner ;D

lol

Good luck Gav.

good luck everyone esp Ralph & Paul

Do it for Tony Adams, Ralph!

Gl remaining Blondes :)

just had a text from tulisa from n-dubz.

'Go on karabinanananaiiiiiiiiiiiii'

gl to all blondes left  :)

u mean dappy?

Nick Slade is still in.

I remember when he was popular.

I've got a really good memory for a man of my age.

Pokerstars qualifier is pretty obvious but what does Pokerstars player mean? (next to the names on the exit list)

GL to all Blondes left in.

means they bought in through Pokerstars iirc?

In this event it means they bought it via the Pokerstars client.

In the wsop it means Stars have given the player money to wear their patch,

Best of luck to Ralph.

Hope he gets a good score.

Regards

M

Why is he not popular anymore?

Any news?


GOOOOOO RALPH!!!!!

Hi Keith,

Dave was on the TV feature table for the opening six levels of today, us updaters weren't able to get near it.

edit: wrote that before seeing the replies which basically already told you that. In terms of chip updates, DTD staff have been doing them on the feature table every two hours (although they missed them off on their first sweep) i'll have a word with one of the TDs and see if I can't get one of them to pass on chipcounts from the feature table more regularly.

BOL to Mike Hill and Nick Slade

Thanks Dino.

I'm surprised Pokerstars won't let their updaters near the feature table in their tournament.

And the standard of writing is exceptional. Top marks from me.

Ralph's out :(

plus Andos Booth

egad blog reports Ralph is out :(

Sigh unlucky ralph. Wanted you to ship it all. Wp though.

Bad for me if colclough wins enough to move him above the 2/4 plo games.

What is Nico's real name?

Be positive! It just means he will be able to donate more to you!

Nico29= dom kay keith

Good poster, seems like a nice guy.

Hope he comes second to DC.

bust out 42nd

the Feature table was my down fall

played about 5 hrs with ralph 1/2 of which was spent at the feature table

enjoyed the comp, little frustrated only cashing for £1960 in a £560 comp having survived over 1000 players

Well played both. Great effort.


little frustrated only cashing for £1960 in a £560 comp having survived over 1000 players

But if the prize structure was steeper you would have got less, and if it was flatter, you would have got less. ???

Gav just gone out 27th vwp Gav ;applause;

They paid too many spots Ralph imo.

Pay 4 less tables and spots like Jim's could have paid 50% more.

im still in with 31 left according to the updates with 465k go me. shame im at home.

Too many people def got paid and the pay out was very flat 128th was £960 and 18th about £2500 if memory serves me right. Then the final 9 jumps from £6k to 109k

Dom is average stack with 25 left.

Dom out 88<KQ then AQ into AK. UL

of course, thanks (sorry)

lol np

Does anyone know how Dave Colclough exited yesterday? - he looked to be on course to go very deep.

I was rather hoping he would, too. He's had a few ups & downs over the years, but always seems to get himself out of it.

We had business differences, no doubt about that, but there's much to be admired about how he conducts himself at the Table, & in life generally.

Shoved sshot stack with A10hh into aces (according to blog)

Is that your way of an apology?  ;) No on a serious note hes a guy i grew up admiring !

glgl stu rutter in todays high roller

any updates on the hi roller?

Final!

Tim Bettingen   Germany   PokerStars Qualifier   3425000
Chris Dowling   Ireland      2700000
Thomas Rolfe   United Kingdom      2050000
Romano Pizzo   Italy      2030000
Mike Hill   United Kingdom      1770000
David Heaton   United Kingdom      1435000
Gareth Walker   United Kingdom      1100000
Brett Angell   United Kingdom   PokerStars Qualifier   700000

Tim Bettigen is a good reg online Im told

gl to da bookie, what a ledge!

he's a good midstakes mtt player

He's also 2p2 so that's who our lot are rooting for! He appears to be playing remarkably fearlessly considering this is obviously the biggest ft of his life

link to 2p2 thread?

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/61/mtt-community/next-livepro-tim-bettingen-ukipt-nottingham-979754/

He's known as bakinc00kies hence all the references. He also organised the 2p2 last longer so whatever cash has an extra ~£900 on it

Side story: Liv Boeree said she was in for the last longer and initially refused to pay Tim as she had already busted the comp early day1. Shows how nitty poker players can still be even when they've made it

GLGLGL Jake in the high roller, heard he was CL overnight and since he's not on the bustout list I assume he's still in. Win.

Gogogo jake

He's still in as is The Devilfish, not sure I recognise anyone else, although i've only walked past their final table the once.

Cheers.

No probs.

It's three handed now (fish out in 5th) Jake, Chris Bridder and a polish guy called Preznek Piortski. Blinds 4/8k avg = 530k, Jake probably shortest of the three with around 350ish.

newcastle based players pwn at DTD like

cody won high roller

nice life

How much did Jake win for first in the high roller?

45k iirc

COME ON GAZ WAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
