(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/Taqwv4lz2eI/AAAAAAAARH4/y4dMVsD_0Yc/IMG_6469.JPG)


yes, Romanello is still in the big cash game

and the DB9 of Rob Yong

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TaqwurpPfgI/AAAAAAAARH0/t82XMjmAluo/IMG_6468.JPG)

which means he is in alongside Mike Matusow

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TaqwwvtN-xI/AAAAAAAARIE/JIuWJpaQ1vo/IMG_6472.JPG)

Also in the game is probably DTD's best renowned cash player Keith Johnson, here with RW IIII

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TaqwwXlEogI/AAAAAAAARIA/sjb1N6yoVK0/IMG_6471.JPG)

and on the day presenting shift

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TaqwxGzuOPI/AAAAAAAARIM/cJA35v369lQ/IMG_6475.JPG)

and behind me celtic, Greek Stein and Ben Vinson have played £5-5 NLHE  through the night

Quite a big game apparently

DTD's 24 hour opening this weekend was always going to be a danger to GreekStein. Sadly the internet is unpoliced while he degens away

Pics plz

so our final 20 for the Monte Carlo. Who are they?



Julian Thew     23     6     958000

EPT winner, Twice GUKPT winner and Nottingham's own, Julian came off the better from a several hour battle with Tobty Lewis yesterday that concluded with Julian knocking Toby out, moving to the head of the chip counts and staying there. One of the nicest men in poker, though that copybook was blotted when he dropped a swearword on a blonde thread recently. This lead to Poker Stars dropping him as a UK pro. Karma then bit, as the DOJ threw the book at Stars.

Sunny Chattha    21    8    869000

Another very friendly guy, GUKPT winner and part of the renowned and successful Hit Squad. Been off my radar for a year or so but is back with a bang here, having been a chip leader since early Day 2. Superb player, great instincts, and really interesting to watch.

Waheed Ashraf    22    2    859000

Winner of the inaugural DTD Monte Carlo at the back end of 2009, Nottingham Tournament legend Wadey has been playing superb stuff. This is by his own admission but seriously, he has. Would be a very popular winner, especially with the detritus of the Nottingham poker underworld, who have their nipping strategies in place already.

Nicolas Mclellan    23    8    689000

4th in the 2009 GUKPT Manchester, his local event.

Laurence Houghton    23    1    633000

Online major winner rivermanl has long threatened to translate that to the live scene and he has two GUKPT final tables, and here he is knocking on the door again. Railed by vociferous friends, and hasn't taken a backward step against the likes of Thew for several levels

Sunil Mistri    22    4    567000

Northampton's Sunny Mistri is co-owner of What's On Poker. Winner of the Aspers Northampton festival recently and his battles with Ashraf yesterday were superb

Michael Fisher    22    6    549000

Online qualifying regular DTD tournament player, mixing it with the big boys

Fraser Bellamy    22    7    468000

Winner of the last Monte Carlo event and a DTD Deepstack before that. On low live volume Fraser has a wonderful record of success.

James Reid    22    5    397000

Bedford's Jim Reid has been a fixture on the UK festival scene for many years. Aggressive, and this can tend to spewy but there were no signs of that yesterday as he played solid poker. A fixture on the highish cash games on Stars, a result today is certainly overdue

Richard Grace    23    7    395000

New Zealander, with an understated table style. Brilliant THM database entry. More flags than outside the UN.

Jen-yue Chiang    21    7    307000

Haven't heard him say a word at the table for three days. Going for a fourth day, a record in poker, of monastic verbal denial today.

Danny Ball    21    5    293000

Another friendly guy. Don't know Danny really, apart from him seeming to knock around with the likes of Perrins. On blonde as danny b.

Louise Duffy    21    1    272000

London based lady player who made the final two tables of GUKPT London. Google tell me "Ambition: To get a big result this year. Have already qualified for Ladbrokes poker cruise main event and European Ladies Championships in May, and am going to start trying to qualify for the EPT events. Qualified for the WSOP main event last year"

Richie Allen    23    3    265000

Brash and ballsy London cheeky chappie who was chip leader after 1b. In a lot of pots, talks through the rest of them

John Eames    21    3    258000

Successful online and a successful transition to a predominantly live player with 3rd i n EPT Copenhagen and an EPT Vienna side event winner. Consistent with a rocky reputation. Well overdue a huge live title as the talent is there for all to see

Scott Montgomery    22    1    227000

Canadian Scott travelled to Nottingham with partner Annette Obrestad who is playing the big game. WSOP Event 36 winner last year and 5th in the WSOP 2008 final table, knocked out by eventual winner Peter Eastgate. A Full Tilt Pro.

Thomas Macdonald    22    8    215000

Another Online success story, Tom from Leeds has never been at the head of affairs here but is in there fighting. Finalist at GUKPT Walsall last year and winner of GCBPT Leeds in 2009.

David Dean    23    5    206000

Dixie is a London tournament and cash game veteran. Tallest poker player you will ever meet, and with a big build, he towers over the table with a  physical presence. Gentle giant in person,a n aggressive terror on the table

Adam Wilkinson    21    6    183000

Festival staple fixture over many years, Adam was chip leader mid way through Day 2. GUKPT Newcastle finalist in 2007

Keiron Duncan    21    9    108000

Staying in the same bed and breakfast as me. £25 a night. Got to mind those expenses.



Now that, ladies and gentlemen of the good ship blonde, is a line up of our dreams


Please join me at 2pm for the action

I don't know Perrins at all and had never spoken to him until day 1. He seemed a friendly guy too though.
Cheers for the introduction anyway Tighty.

Tom Macdonald is from Hulll, not Leeds :-)

Will be following today... GL John, Tom and Richie!!

Would like to see two winners today.

Julian to take this down and Stoke City to  beat Bolton.

Go on Fraser son , be no mean achievement to defend ya title !

Karma would have Julian win this but want an old skool nit like Fraser Wadey or eames to get h/u with him. And Tom macdonald is from Scunthorpe. Hull is a poxy village on the outskirts of scunny

Cheers Bob..One Can only try his best   :)up

Want to wish all the remaining  runners good luck ! especially Wadey and Julian (not  too much  of course)

Great updates tighty and thanks for Blonde pokers support

Peace and Good Karma to everybody else out there

I hope some of the pic'n'mix is still left as that was a lot of sugar in there.

I had to share it with danafish, Dave Shoelace and Kara Scott

I am in need of fresh supplies of Candy.

More flags than outside the UN! great line!!! Wp. Should get a book written.

Would be nice to see Wadey win this again. GL to Danny Ball, played with him a few times. Nice guy with a decent game.

Looking forward to another great edition of MC Updates.

Just want to wish sunil mistri all the best for today and go on and make the final table for the northampton lads.
What a great few days for DTD and a big thank you for tightened for your great updates.

Stars of the Office and Slumdog Millionaire converge on DTD to try and repeat their wins in the event

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TarmnDsPCVI/AAAAAAAARIc/07NUevzmWuE/IMG_6477-1.JPG)

GL to Danny Ball today would be great to see him take a big one down.

Laurence Houghton a no show so far today

Slept in after a long overnight session against the Americans? oh, wait...

So many people to wish good luck to. Would love to see either Danny Balla, Sunny or Julian take this one down.

Fraser Bellamy has lost 200,000 or so to Mark Fisher, which I missed

Fisher then won a nice pot blind on blind against Jim Reid, raising the turn of 2-2-Q-4 and getting a fold

Jen Chiang has floated Danny Ball succcessfully, calling a turn bet on 9-9-J-Q with 8-7 and getting there on a 10 river

Richie Allen 3 bet shoves over Richard Grace, who folds

Grace 3 bets Thew and gets it through

Laurence Houghton has arrived



It's all go

that news make me hate my life

Chiang raises, Eames shoves the big blind, Chinag folds


Fishers raises, Ashraf calls the big blind

flop  8h 9d Ahrt

check, Fisher 55,000

Ashraf check raise to 110,000

Fisher folds


Ashraf "show me"

Fisher shows  6h  6d

Ashraf "I knew you didn't have an Ace" and flips  Jd  Kh

Be good to see a local win it again, I guess Thewy would be the top of my preferred list  :)

Aces v AK v QQ all in pre on the  big cash game! watch in an hour

Two players stacked

£60,000 pot

Rob Yong v Martins Adeniya v Tony G

I won't spoil who won it

Eames ftw

Meanwhile in this event 19 left and the average stack is 40x bb

Quite cagey, and not many stacks under a lot of pressure

Estimated finish time is midnight! Level 28


Julian Wadey and Sunny C the chip leaders

is there a one hour lag tighty?

Yes for sure alex. Tight how the hell you miss frazers hand. Stop trying to get caught on tv and concentrate on the monte Carlo. You are being paid

wadey is my hero, he just constantly bluffs people and always shows them - such a legend. Him and Thewy heads up please!

GTFO

Jason Herbert: When I am typing I can't watch and vice versa!


Kieron Duncan doubles the shortest stack left through Sunny Chattha to go to 200,000

Sunny opens the cut off

Keiron jams the button

Priced in call

Sunny J-10

Keiron A-2

A on the flop

yes

One player departed the table most upset at the huge rub down post hand

Newly enamoured of chips Duncan raises to 25,000

Eames 125,000 on the button

Duncan folds


Eames has basically doubled up today to 500,000 without showing a hand



Wadey Ashraf 1,000,000. Every 5 minutes he asks me if he is the chip leader. Every 10 minutes his supporters ask me if he is the chip leader.

Good luck to Julian.

Guys chill please, thank you



Laurence Houghton 25,000 on the button


Dixie Dean 90,000 in the big blind

Houghton all in

Dean passes showing  2h

I've removed a few recent posts from this thread.  Please don't sour a great update (and Tighty's efforts).

Thanks.

Laurence Houghton raises

Richie Allen shoves the button

Dixie Dean passes in the big blind saying "I think he is going to pass though, he's your mate"

Laurence calls  Jd Jh

Allen  Aspades Ts


Jacks hold and Richie Allen is out 19th



It kicks off after, with Allen asking me to post that Dean had accused he and Houghton of Collusion

Dean vehemently denies this, finger pointing, jabbing, TD stepping in


Anyway, down to 18 and money jump to £2,775

Richie Allen 19th £1,500

Devilfish, if you play that harmonica one more time waiting to go back into the cash game I am shoving it where the sun doesn't shine.

gl to Danny Ball.

Have you got a pic tighty? Pretty sure it's the bloke I used to play with down my local on a Sunday afternoon. Good times.

He is from Leicester but supports Arsenal. Harrumpf.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TarnCW03x2I/AAAAAAAARJY/t9EZ_7ccgh4/IMG_6492.JPG)

Go ooooon sunny haystacks!!

and we're back on the run down to the final table, early evening-ish

Is he you, from a parallel, anti-matter universe?

That's the fella by the way. Seems his game's come on a bit more than mine :)

Very best of luck Danny. Jack Prime here from The Bull's Head, Desford.

"Show me and I will show you back" says Julian

Wadey eventually folds, mucks

Julian asks if he wants to see, Wadey shrugs, Julian mucks

Sunil Mistri moved off table Julian

Phew, he might think

Moved to the direct right of Chattha

You win some, you lose some

First hand over there he doubles up Jen Chiang, I am told

Fingers crossed for the boy Thew, Surely Stars loss(big imo) is someone elses gain.....

Come on Jules TID!!!

I hadn't realised that Stars dropped Julian.  Why did that happen?  He is a great guy and amazing ambassador for UK poker imho.

epic fail on eviction in big game, can someone go sort it out.

Final starts at 6.15pm


Before then seat draw, chip counts, pictures


and I try to avoid Rob Yong's dog. I am next to him in his basket in the VIP room


Marvellous

To be fair, they never "dropped him", he had a 1 year deal, it ran it's course, & it was not renewed. It had not exactly gone well for either party, but there was no bad blood.

Would love to see him get top 3 in this, but that goes for most of the Finalists, all of whom have had to make some well brave moves & calls, way beyond nits like me could ever dream of.

Been an absolutely terrific Event from the very off, & a great Update, too, I've been unable to tear myself away from it. Well done to the players, to Tighty, to DTD, & to the Live Update Sponsor, "www.mycardshark.com".

Some evening in prospect, too, & I won't be able to follow it, bugger.

I wanted Luke Schwarz to post next to the dog, as he is here in the "green room"

Luke looked at me suspiciously and said no

Someone is going to have to shove the lot into McDonald's face soon (metaphorically), the merciless aggression appears to be a real pain to play against

nth level spot IMO. Is he cold 4b jamming because it can never be a bluff with his image? He obv knows he has to have AA/KK/QQ to jam there, maybe utilising. Table is very aggro so can get that through alot. Still a fold IMO, just adding that to discussion lol. Just depends what level you wanna look at it from

Classic hand lol

Hello

What they Playing for Tighty...

Pride and a love of the game

I'll plump for J, 10 soooted.

1     -     £90,188
2    -    £52,725
3    -    £31,635
4    -    £22,200

nice one sunny mistry  ;applause; ;applause;

Go on Sunny, bash them for fun!

Defo in this range, be a bit boring to tell tighty yeh I had aces but don't tell anyone. Probs still better than Sunny's hand mind...

i agree

No flops since the break

Duffy has not played a hand

Other three opening and 3 betting each other like its a new craze and they are addicted to it.

Before Nick McLellan went out did he lose a big pot or was it a succession of smaller pots. From the updates (quality updates they are) Nick had 2.7m and then a short while later pushed for 800k?

would like to say all thoughts and prayers are with George "the iceman" Geary tonight

lol



Chattha raises the button

Mcdonald calls big blind


flop  Qs Qh 2h

McDonald check calls 100,000

turn  7c

McDonald check calls 250,000

river  3d

McDonald check calls 500,000


The pot represents over half his stack

Chattha "ten high"

McDonald nonchalantly rolls over  Ac 9d to win the 1.9m chip pot with no pair!

reported on a few raise folds, a couple of 200,000 3 bet folds etc etc


So a succession of small/medium pots

When I was sat next to JP Kelly in Manchester (brag) he told me Tom is one of the best players he knows. He just cba to usually travel anywhere (think Toby, JP and Tom have a house together)

Rick just in case you missed it

Bolton 0  Stoke 5

Duffy shoves no calls



Rough chip counts

Chattha 1,800,000

Thew 2,800,000

Mcnutsofsteeldonald 3,000,000

Duffy 750,000

Tom to take this down now I think.  He's a great player, due a major live cash.

many of the interviews perrins cody lewis eames et al mention tom as a guy who they rate highly. started out at naps in hull and i dont think thet realised what hit em. danny rudd came through this cardroom in £5 £10 re buys too

Well done all finalists. Great comp. Super updates

Great updates !!!

OK, that's it from me


Thank you of course to www.mycardshark.com for sponsoring the updates

Thank you to DTD for allowing me use of the premises, and especially Rich Wooton the TD for his invaluable help

Thank you to everyone for posting and watching


I could sleep for a week. Sadly this will not happen!


Goodnight, we I will be back for GUKPT Walsall in a fortnight

Congrats all three, nice deal, all great players, probs why they dealt, because they know there's no weak links and any one of them could win. Chuffed for Sunny, one of the best and nicest and now has the confidence back of bashing up big fields. Tom and Jules fine players too, wpwpwp...and well done Rich, updates were almost as good as being there congrats

would like to add like the rest great updates tighty your hard work is much appreciated :)

Amazing job Tighty. Absolutely amazing.

Great result too. Definately the 3 best players on the final. Really pleased for Julian, nicest guy in poker

What was the hand?!

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!!!

WELL DONE JULIAN, ABSOLUTLY BRILLIANT STUFF, WELL PLAYED, SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

WELL DONE SUNNY AMAZING RUN :-)

WP TOM MCDONALD GR8 STUFF :-)

WP ALL

CHAMPIONEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY JULIAN!!! X

The hand was Ace Queen

I see Thewy playing the long game with the deal - willing to give up £££ to guarantee that he books the win and gets a 1st on his Hendon Mob page, which is way more impressive to potential sponsors than a 2nd or 3rd.

This!
 well Happy for sunny tho ! back to the grind tomoz????? ok tuesday!! :-)

wd all, gd stuff Crowman.

and Sunny 3 bet King Ten suited

GG tighty. ;tightend;

Wp ricky p, tyvm for dem updates

Congats Thew wp,  great to see Sunny back booking a nice draw straight away and well done Tighty for the fantastic updates

Well done everyone especially the top 3.  ;hattip; It reads like it was a tough FT.

Thanks for the updates Tighty, I wanted to play this event but instead I've been pinned to my desk since Thursday reading the updates and watching the poker news stream working and you've been my entertainment along the way!

Good work!

Back to it for me  ;technophobe;

Amazing Updates and well done the Final 3...


Tighty is awesome!!!!!

Great result for Sunny and Julian huge congrats both!!

Thanks very much Tighty for possibly the best updates I can remember   ;hattip;

Congrats to everyone! great updates from Tighty! Great to see Julian up there long overdue!

WP every1 & congrats on a gr8 tourny. ty tighty once again for ur marvellous updates & hard work. see you all soon hopefully lol

Well played the three big winners, all great players.

Superb updates as per...cheers Tighty!

great result - 3 very good players and top blokes!!

well done again Tighty - when I left this arvo thought you were ready for the knackers yard mate!!

i don't remember Tom playing there too?  ;carlocitrone;

awesome reporting from what seemed a cracking final.

Looks like the best 3 players made the final 3.

I know he's a hero to many so am prepared for a bit of flamage, but am I the only one who think that Julian sold himself a bit short with that deal??

Or has he been round the block so long that his ego is strong enough to take a hit on the ICM chop?

Top dealing from Tom though

he has no edge
he was only CL due to the last elimination
def not - most sensible deal ive seen in a long time

+ 1 & I'm really please to see Julian back up there in the cash where he belongs, wp Sir!  :respect:

 ;applause; Fantasic updates.

  Well done.

hey all,
many thanks for all the kind words...not binked for 2 years now so this means alot,
chip chop was;
me 67.5
tom 57.5
sunny 49.5
tom wanted to play on, i wanted to chop so i offered him an extra 2.5 & as sunny & i go back a while i offered him the same meaning we dealt at
me 62.5
tom 60
sunny 52
well done tighty, v humourous updates!

Nicest guy in poker? Pfffffft. A good friend would at least offer him 5k

Very well done Julian..... awesome result.

Great updates Rich... as always.

oh wow, Tom was on my starting table, arrived late and lost all but 4 or 5k very quickly. amazing to see him chop it.

just shows, you should never give up.

Was after me and you Danny. Lewis and the Chinese mafia keep asking about him. Think I remember Jon Lundy but he must have got married since coz his maiden name was Jonny donut in there

lols

class guy - wp

It's all been said, many times, but I feel I must say it again - what an impressive Updating marathon by Tighty. Solo, too, which many Updaters say can't be done, but our man delivered.

Good balance, too, between colour, & hands, with plenty of both, leaning towards colour, as most blondes readers prefer that, which was as good as I've ever seen.

The "Round with Tighty" featuring Cos was one of the best Posts ever on blonde, requiring penetrating observational skills & the ability to write it up just so, not piss-taking, but deffo full of gentle rub, which I'm sure Cos would have enjoyed, such was it's quality & humour.

The blondes kept it mostly cool, too, credit to them, to do otherwise would have been an insult to Tighty.

Finally, big thanks to the people who financed the Update, "www.mycardshark.com", if the blondes now walk the walk, maybe we can get them to do it again in the future.

Oh, & well done Thewy. Like. Plus some.

Awesome work Tighty.

Congrats to Julian, form comes and goes...

Top man.

Nottingham’s own legend Julian Thew takes the Monte Carlo title as he wins the £291,000 event!

 Outside the traditional slot of December, our third £1000 Monte Carlo Event comes to a close. Simon Trumper reports on the weekend’s success.

With a guaranteed £250,000 prizepool, £50K higher than that in December, we finally ended up with 291 players, which produced a £90,000 first prize. As usual, our Monte Carlo attracted some fine tournament poker players, some of which included James "Flushy" Dempsey, Stuart Fox, James Mitchell, Toby Lewis, Jack Ellwood, Jake Cody, Jon Kalmar, Julian Thew and Devilfish.

 104 players started Day 1A and 187 Day 1B. After 10 1-hour levels in both, 107 returned for Day 2, playing down to the last 20, who then returned for the final on Sunday.  Players on Day 3 included local champion (and chip leader) Julian Thew, winner of 2 GUKPT's and an EPT. Also still in play were both previous Monte Carlo winners Waheed Ashraf and Fraser Bellamy.

 Incredibly, by the time we reached the final 9 both previous champions were still in with a chance of achieving their second title. Sadly it wasn't to be Fraser’s. His run of four finals four wins, came to an end after flopping a set and getting outdrawn. Fraser finished in 8th adding £6939 to his bankroll. Waheed only managed one spot better, running into a very unlucky flop. His QQ was up against AQ that flopped an A. By the time we got to the final 3, the chip counts were 1,900,000 for Sunny Chatta, 2,900,000 Tom Mcdonald and 3,900,000 for Julian Thew. A deal was agreed giving Julian £62,547 and the trophy and title, with £60,000 for Tom and £52,000 for Sunny. Congratulations to three great players!

 
Running throughout the Monte Carlo was the Party Poker 48-hour Big Cash Game. It started 8pm on Friday with a line up including Sam Trickett, Jennifer Tilly, Neil Channing, Annette Obrestad, Bruno Fitoussi, Devilfish and Tony G, and ended with Devilfish, Trickett and Channing returning after some sleep to join the likes of Andrew Feldman, Roland De Wolfe and Mike Matusow. The game attracted big audiences both live and via online streaming, and helped to create an immense atmosphere in the club.

 In case it’d slipped our minds on why Dusk Till Dawn is recognised as one of the top card rooms in the world, on Sunday, the club breezed 3 tournaments simultaneously, as well as 14 cash games, reminding us all what a phenomenal poker facility we have. Well done to all the team at the club who contributed in putting on an astounding show of poker.

Next up is our €80,000 guaranteed Grand Prix III event in May. The event is guaranteed at 1,600 entrants, and is set to break the record once more for the biggest UK poker tournament of all time.

Fraser x

I am so pleased for Mr Thew, Tom and Sunny. Superb to see three great players make the top 3. One or two of the top 22 were completely out of their depth, i.e. never mentioned for giving any action!

^^this^^^

best updates i've read to date

And a big well done to you too Simon....Thank You

Yeah I've gotta say, I quietly wet myself at reading Rich's 'round with Cos'. wpwp

I assumed that, more power to your elbow.

It was superb stuff, & it took two to tango.

Just caught up with this - chuffed for Julian :)up.

Couldn't follow the updates this weekend (was otherwise engaged), but did read the 'Round with Cos' and thought it was absolutely brilliant.

IMMENSE updates tighty, wd, gg and congrats on the deal guys.

reveal the hand please :)

tom had AQ
