GUKPT Luton is one of the most established legs on the GUKPT Tour. Why? Well in part it is always the first GUKPT after the Summer break. Players return from Vegas and, helped by proximity to the big London games numbers are always strong. Indeed that has been the case for the side events so far this week

It is the fourth leg of this year's tour following Manchester (winner Peter MacAdam), London (Praz Banzi) and Walsall (Alan Mansbridge)

Last year the event was won by Neil Channing in a famous (in a blonde context) live update featuring the exploits of Mr Adebayo Odetoyinbo

(http://uk.pokernews.com/w/articles/4c69/3b4ec2c21.jpg)

Previous winners include Richard Gryko and Dave Clark

Previous finalists include Lucky, Pelham Boy and [ ]Chompy.


Links between blonde and Luton are strong. We have many regular posters that play there, a thriving league/thread and Luton staff post on the forum

This should be a good one.

This is also a big weekend for forum sponsors Sky Poker

I'd be guessing at the total number of players they have representing them but it's going to be 10-12+

They qualified 3 via sats. Then there's bad boy Thewy, Scotty77, lolufold, dantb10 the Manchester finalist and other Team Sky Poker members


I'll follow their progress on this thread. I won't be able to miss them, after all

flop  Kh 8d 2c

Lloyd leads 500, Kiefert 1,600

Lloyd makes it 4,000

Kiefert shoves

Lloyd calls with A-A and is left with under 5,000 when Kiefert reveals what Lloyd probably feared,  8s 8c

Great updates so far Tighty.

James Akenhead has bet 7,500 into a pot of about 6,500 when checked to

Dom folds.

"I cheked to let him bluff and then folded" sighs Dom in melancholy fashion

Akenhead is inscrutable

Is Tony Poole still in, Richard?

Chip leader with 55,000 at 200-400

Hong Ming Lee

Yes. Above starting stack

Sharing a table with the chip leader are now Sunny Chattha and Karl Moansandlols

Mahrenholz just rose to 18,00 calling a raise from Sam Bayliss in the big blind with K-Q

Check called Q-5-3 and Q-5-3-7 and was paid off on the Q river



Also on that table Alan McBride with 10,000

Ian Frazer gets it all in pre against Iaran Lightbourne

Quite a feat with 13,000 chips at 100-200-25 and 3-3 in his hand

He is up against A-A

He flops a 3 to demonstrate that the new Sky Poker portable RNG is in good working order

108 of 126 left midway trhough Level 4 100-200-25

Average 17,500


Happy to answer requests, name a player and I will find out

The rule being applied is: if you pass your cards out of turn you will receive a two hand sitout penalty.  You can't even look at your cards.  "Do it again and you will sit out an entire round", the latter for repeat offenders.

Seen three players so far with a round penalty

Severin Schleser 350 raise

Seat 9 calls

Jamie Hurst 1,550 in the cut off

Albert Sapiano cold calls in the small blind

Schleser all in

Hurst calls all in

Both stacks 12,000ish

Schleser 10-10

Hurst A-A

flop Q-J-10

Set of tens holds and Hurst is down to a micro-stack

Jeff Kimber exit from earlier was Kings into Aces. Hong Lee with the Aces, the story behind his chip lead

Stuart Rutter's exit. In level 3. Flush under flush in a 3-bet pot against James Akenhead

Skill game WP.

Hmm we are approaching the end of Level 4

Strangely this is a 60 minute break for food. With two flights to get through today. Odd, no?


I will see if we can get chip counts done for the 100 or so left in 1a. Don't hold your collective breaths

Ahem     .....     any action out of turn - bet/fold/fart, they all apply.

HoldorFold 9,000 Doubled up Alan Stearn who was in the process of recovering from 1k to 10k with AJ v AA

How bad does someone's play have to be before we can berate it itt?

maybe he misclick raised to 3k and frazer thought he had fe

Berate pleasantly. It's an art and takes much skill from which you can derive much satisfaction

Anyone can call anyone an idiot, but we're classier.  :)up

Really struggling to find a nice way to berate ;)

James Morris raises

Albert Sapiano and Danny Toffel call in the blinds


flop  8c 7c Jd

Sapiano checks

Toffel shoves 6,5000 into 7,500

Morris folds a made hand. I felt Toffel was getting a call, having had a peek

Sapiano folds

Toffel takes it down and reveals  8s 8h

Break

I tried a sneaky pass at the front of the buffet queue, only to discover the food was not ready yet.

Thwarted

James Akenhead wins a 20,000 pot off Rob Angood calling a raise pre and getting paid on all three streets when flopping 3-3 on 2-3-7 (4-Q)

Tighty any chip update for Frank/Roberto Romanello & James Williams?

Thanks!

James Williams 3,000. OOP to Toby Lewis and Paul Jackson, it has been an intensely frustrating day for Swindon's eighth best poker player


Haven't seen Roberto today but Frank is playing


They are doing chip counts now

But HE won the pot, why would you berate that!?

 How can he call all in with aces tut tut they always get cracked chip count for guy Barron please

Is there a buffet for the 6pm starters ?

Fascinating! Who are the other 7 Tighty, in order??

No, apparently not

9,375 at the break

Fraser Digby
Paolo Di Canio
Adrian Pound
The Roundabout
Tim Wright and Dwayne Quinn, I can't split them

What no grub ? Bad show ain't it

Melinda Messenger is in there somewhere! but +1 for diggers & the magic roundabout!

LOL wat?

Are the late starters paying £1000+£60 then?

I am merely the messenger.

How are all the lutons bod's doing now Tighty?

We are restarting

Food was Chicken Breast in a curry sauce, or a Veg curry option

Then three choices of cheesecake. Strawberry, Blackcurrant, Mandarin

Angry shoves

Feldman snaps with K-K

scotty77 doubles through Rob White, both Sky Poker players

The way I am going to play it is initial snaps of some of the new players, plus an idea of numbers in this flight

Then concentrate on Day1a levels 6-8 before moving over to Day 1b

Fingers crossed the stream should be much better now. Extra hamsters have been installed. Please let us know here how the experience is from now on.

:( I feel responsible, should never have ruined her winter by putting her in my dream team!

Bit of a codicil to this one

I was going to use the caption "Young Steve Davis and manager visit Luton"

I tell Mr Alien this and his son whispers to his dad when he thinks I am out of earshot

"Who is Steve Davis?"

Feel old, much?!

:(  I'm gonna blame you too chris :)

Flight 1b  right at the end of Level ONE.......

Local regular Andy Lyew had the Kings - two of them - & his oppo had the rather thin A-K. It was even thinner after the door card came the case-king, for top set.

The Board ran out as follows.....

K-2-A-5-................A.


Andy departed, tail between legs, though the fact that the Villain gave it large might not have helped much.

Like to travel to.... luton?

Gavin Kan is out

In the space of a level he lost KK < 88 to double a player up, AA<AQ to do another player the honours and then flopped set < flopped straight to apply the coup de grace

New in 1b

Liv Boeree

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Pj4b2-M5VyU/Tk65EuwBniI/AAAAAAAATDI/QjHiFQiFQIw/s512/IMG_8550.JPG)

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-wAXwSBZWk5A/Tk65FlvgnYI/AAAAAAAATDM/Uk_ZLsYFSrI/s512/IMG_8551.JPG)

and next to Liv Boeree is Kevin MacPhee

I think this is "Imalucksac" twice P5 triple crown winner, EPT finalist, WSOP event final tabler etc etc

Yes?

And Mr boeree

Hi there great job tighty m8 keep up the good work



Can we have a chip up date on the Luton regs if u have time

has nobody told feldman the bad news yet!!

Wp Tighty.
Well our G railing has turned into a mini-home game with some tourney failures departees so we are now heading to chez-alien.
Top updates sir. I will send u some of ours later!
Mini-Drainy is off to Google Steve Davis
:-)

Nick Gibson raises and James Akenhead defends his big blind

Akenhead check calls K-Q-4

Check calls the Q turn

v bets the 9 river and is paid off for a 20,000 pot

Akenhead shows K-Q

Wayne Rideout has to make a call for his tournament life on the river versus Chuck Clark one of the big stacks


Clark in second position and Rideout the big blind

17,000 in the middle and a board reading

 Jc 9c Ahrt 6d 7d

Rideout checks

Clark fires out 10,000

Rideout thinks and calls for the pot with  Aspades Qc

Clark shows  Ac Qd and they chop

Rideout a relieved man

Danny Blair in 1a

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0SAVyoNIW7g/Tk7BJviqFjI/AAAAAAAATDw/xEXc-NWJ3Cw/s512/IMG_8556.JPG)

I mean I like to travel to different poker venues :-)

Akenhead raises, Weekes re-raises and Gibson calls all in in the blinds with 7-7

Akenhead passes, Weeks has Q-Q and they hold to knock Gibson out

 answering an earlier question I can see 6 Luton regs still in 1a

David Johnson 30,000

Angry Dave Fredericks 20,000

David Tearle 30,000

Chadra Khajuria 50,000

brian Sadler 40,000

Alan McBride 20,000

Monkey Harris raises with 10-10 in kid position

German Martin Huber 3 bets the button with Aces

Harris shoves, he is the shorter stack

flop Q-10-8

turn 6

River A


A river one outer as Alan Stearn chooses the moment to kindly inform Harris that he had an Ace too

15 minutes to go of 1a

58 of 126 left

I will then switch my attention to 1b where they are currently in level 4

In 1b Cos GreekStein knocked out Jim mcBride AK>AJ despite as Jack first card out

Jake Cody and Matt Perrins are late entrants.

88 runners in 1b making 214 total and funnily enough a £214,000 total prize pool

 exits at the end of 1a

Rob Angood ran JJ into Josh Green's Kings

Toby Lewis ran Kings into Priyan De Mel's 9-7. All in pre. 4 bet shove prefrom De Mel

However Toby held and De Mel is out




Moving to look at 1b

Will post up counts from 1a when they are available

Del mel nice watch and polo shirt.

Two EPT winners together, one triple crown winner. Julian's look says it all

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6vbz2Wvcqwg/Tk7JF7NV6PI/AAAAAAAATEA/yVkKXk_JNjU/s512/IMG_8558.JPG)

Is Actiondave still in?

Liv Boeree's table breaks and she is on table Roberto. Another two EPT winners side by side

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DzGQiGLcOEQ/Tk7JGxO3CiI/AAAAAAAATEE/G1ta-dZVcGg/s512/IMG_8559.JPG)

Yes co-tabling with Cody and Thew


79 of 88 left in b


Again, chip counts will be done for b within the hour and I will post when I get them

This is slowly turning into and EPT not a gukpt lol

810ofclubs  Toby Lewis

89,925 to finish ran HOT!

Cos Paparestis down to 11,000

AK lost to KJ in a 3 bet pot pre, K on the flop

Sam MacDonald raises to 450 ins econd position at 100-200-25

Jenjue Chiang calls in the big blind with  Kh Qh, playing only 7,000

flop  Kd 6s 3s

check check

turn  9s

Chiang min check raises 550 to 1100

Macdonald sets him in and he calls his stack off against  5s 7s


Here's MacDonald

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BP1RYi2T2KU/Tk7PNF2whxI/AAAAAAAATEU/2gNy_UB5qpw/s512/IMG_8562.JPG)

Katie O'Connor raises the button and Julian Thew calls in the small blind with  6d 3c

As you do

he check calls a c-bet on  6h  Aspades Td

turn  6c. Only Julian. check check

river  3d

Julian v-bets 75% of the pot and is paid off, presumably by an Ace

Thomas Bowman,Thomas Prater, Lars Bollhagen


Should have gone to specsavers

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DyxkwTUDGjE/Tk7PPFIYdPI/AAAAAAAATEY/yd6-lFT87B4/IMG_8563.JPG)

Break after 4 levels

I am off to chase chip counts and get some fresh air

Sam Grafton still in?

I don't suppose Katie was very impressed by that. Did she give him a right hook?

Did he try and explain his pathetic play?

There's no need for that sir.  People can play how they wish,and don't need to be berated on here for it

lol

Yes 25,000 or so which is above average for this flight


Don't recall seeing a single player on his table ever before. Whether this is good or bad for him, no idea.

Thank you Tighty, I do believe I let a little bit of wee out on that one.

Mohammed Haque announces in the cut off "6,000 sorry I mean 600". This is from a 13,000 stack

He is held by ruling to a 6,000 raise

Julian Thew thinks he is weak, and ships A-9 in the small blind from 21,000

He is correct and Haque folds leaving himself with 7,000

I imagine she attempted a right hook, Julian grabbed her arm, broke it in six places then smashed his dinner plate over her head.

must've missed something along the way...was it not Katie O'Connor that was reported as first player out?

Sam Razavi chip leader after 4 levels of 1b 36,175

So standard.

Darren Judges raises pre and is called by Vicesh Mistry, Kevin MacPhee on the button and Martyn Frey in the small blind

flop  4s 5c 6s

Checked to MacPhee who leads. Frey c-raises all in. A big over bet of 20,000 or so into a 5,000 pot

MacPhee has flopped the absolutes with  8c 7h and calls just covering Frey

Frey  Aspades 7s for the combo draw. The heat is on for Frey then

turn is immediate service  9s and Frey more than doubles through

you were meant to have forgotten that. Misidentification error by yours truly (on the player list but it was someone else, as Katie withdrew from a to play b)

Antonio German, going well

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-33dGeW1E5BI/Tk7dhKsho_I/AAAAAAAATEk/abVGLniD8Xw/s512/IMG_8564.JPG)

Vichesh Mistry knocks out Kevin MacPhee

MacPhee 900 UTG from 1,500

Mistry puts him in from the big with K-4

MacPhee K-J

Board 5-6-7-8 to knock him out

Neel Chundusama with 9-9 clashes with Sam Grafton K-Q

Grafton turns top two pair, Chundusama rivers a gutshot straight to knock him out

Liv Boeree out, departing the card-room with a face like thunder.

srsly?

AA raised early to 500, 2 callers, Frazer ships 6000 from BB, snapped by AA.

Reads better?

Reports of the death of value in GUKPTs greatly exaggerated.

The Liv Boeree exit was a good one. Or not

Romanello R raises on the button, Liv calls in the big blind with 4-4

Flop J-5-4

Liv check calls the c-bet

Turn J Check check

river 9 Liv leads, Roberto Raises, LiV ships and has walked into mturned Quads, Roberto J-J

Nick Hicks raises pre and is called by Chris Cooper in positiona nd Robert Boon in the blinds

flop   Ahrt Kh Kc

Hicks leads and is called by both

turn  Jd

Hicks 1,900 about 70% of the pot. Both call

river  7d

Hicks 3,000, Cooper calls and Boon passes

Hicks  Kd Th wins the 15,000 pot

Behind pre, flop, turn and river - what's she grumpy about?

For those who know extravagant dresser and Luton semi-reg Neel Chandusana the following will seem scarcely believable, especially against Dave Courtney

Chandusana opens in second postion for 800 playing 26,000

Courtney ships 12,000 next to act

Passed back to Chandusana he folds  Jd Jh face up after some verbals

Courtney had, of course,  Ahrt Kd

  SenseiChanning  Neil Channing
Was forced to shove & show with 24 off so now I get action with my AQ. Cunning plan. Tough for him to fold kings #easydoubleup


  Greekstein  Cos
All going pete tong. Got 6k. Reeeeshove time

How is Adam Churcher doing? Some pics would be cool too :D

For anybody who got fed up with the stream quality earlier - it is much improved now. Connection still erratic but we have lowered the video quality a bit and it is not skipping anywhere near as much now even on a mobile connection. The Tower is doing a great job keeping it interesting.

Jake Cody & Julian Thew on the feature table at the mo.

Welcome to blonde

Fun elimination hand today. I shove AQ, folds to sb who thinks everyone's folded and announces raise. T8 wasn't going to lose from there...

$350k of bi's and an EPT title. What can you say, she runs bad!

Older than tk u sure

Channing makes it 7,250 with 12,500 back

John Eames button raises and Sam Razavi calls in thre big blind

I arrive on the end to see that Razavi has extracted a full double up and a 70,000 pot having hit the flop, and then some, with 7-5


Here is he having just been pushed the chips

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-K3mzQAoex60/Tk8FKHNdvxI/AAAAAAAATGI/PSR03xnejA4/s512/IMG_8582.JPG)

In the last level of the night

400-800-75

37 of 86 left

Average 35,000

I need my bed.

Paul Bahbout limps for 800

Before Robbie Fisher O'Brien has a chance to act Frank Romanello calls

RFO'B wants to raise and makes it 2750

Romanello can call or fold, losing the call chips if he folds

He calls

Georges Tomhe calls in the big blind


flop  Jd 9h 8s

checked to RFO'B who leads for 6,600. Romanello calls and Tomhe now makes it 17,300


RFO'B big dwellage and eventually flats, Frank folds

Effective stacks here are 50-60k each behind and a pot size now of nearly 50k


turn  8d


Tomhe dwell bets 25,000

RF'OB dwell folds showing  Js


Tomhe wins the pot showing  Jc and consolidates his chip lead

Julian Thew doubles through Jake Cody. 44 v AK, set of fours on the flop right near the end of the day's play

Great updates as usual Sir Prew, sleep well!

Play ends for the night shortly, looking like 33 have got through

We will be bringing just over 80 players back for Day 2 at 2pm tomorrow
