and would like to thank the organisers, D 4 events for sponsoring us to provide this update

The event is notable for a 50,000 starting stack and a 60 minute clock..

Last time round, this didn't stop exits in Level 1!

The Broadway Casino Birmingham

A place with many associations for me

In January 2006 it hosted the first blonde bash

In September 2006 the first ever APAT event

Since then its expanded its poker capacity, and remains one of the most opulent British Casinos, in a building that started off life as a Children's hospital

SPT Grand Final Winner James Williams


so please join me from 1pm for all the action

Playing tomorrow's Day 1, looking forward to it never actually played at the Broadway despite it only being 5 miles away.

Shall see you there tomorrow Tighty

We have around 160 pre-regged already over the 2 days and the casino is getting  lot of calls this morning. Anyone planning on coming down who has not reserved a seat will get in no problem as long as they are here on time. Late registration is available for 4 levels and even if we fill up enough should bust to cover any requirements.

I would expect Day 1B to be the busiest. The casino can take registrations over the phone for anyone wanting to make doubly sure they get a seat.

Does that mean buyin over the phone? Would rather not do that, but don't wanna travel down there 2mora and find it's sold out.

Blatant my entire roll, which is quite sizeable, is under my bed in fiddy's brag

Not entirely true........... I believe Tom W and Mitch are currently 'looking after' some of Alex's funds.

Tom maybe, Mitch got pwned last night.

So, The Broadway Casino

71 runners in so far today, with late entry for 4 levels and re-entries into tomorrow.

Spotted so far Simon Deadman, Andrew Hulme, Raj Dhiri, Andrew Psaras. It's like a field trip from Nottingham way, and that includes many of the dealers...


A reminder we start at 1pm, playing 11 1 hour levels iirc

slight problem, hence the delay

Wifi failure at the venue, so until then I have borrowed a cable to hook up to the live stream's connection

No photos though until either a) a break, so I don't cause lag on the stream or b) they fix the wifi or c) I move outside to get a dongle connection


We're up to 87 runners, and unsurprisingly no exits...

Re late reg- what time is open to exactly? Can you reg over the phone and do you lose chips per level. I wouldn't be able to make it to Bham tomorrow until around 7pm.

Hi George,

Late reg is open until the end of the break after level 4 which will be around 5.30pm.

You can enter over the phone if you are a member of the Broadway. If you are not here at the end of level 4 we will put your stack out. You are deducted a round of blinds for each level missed so you stack will go out with 49,025 and from start of level 5 it will be played as though you are folding every hand. If you are here by 7 then you should lose around another 2 - 2.5k in blinds and antes.

If you are not a member of The Broadway then someone else can pay your buy in for you. They will need to ask for me to do that.

Problem solved, maybe

Lets try some photos

Amazingly we lost two players in level one on the same hand

Tan Le with Aces on a ten high board gets Daniel Devlin with K-10 and S Najada with a flush draw to get 50,000 in

Aces hold, he is sitting on 150,000 in Level 1 and probably wants one of these for the rest of the day

Wrong one Tighty, younger Bro Andy Wright, gl Horse

Ali Mallu has joined the party

GUKPT blogger Peter Leeper, playing this event, made it 600 with QQ

Mallu calls in the blinds with J-3

flop J-J-3

By the time Mallu led, Leeper raised, Mallu re-raised, Leeper re-re-raised and folded to the shove, he was down to 34,000 and Ali up to 64,000 in one of the first hands since he sat down

Steve Jelinek appears nonplussed to see me

Another exit

Zik Petkar raised with Kings and was called by Peter McCann and Lorenzo Cambianco

flop King high, two hearts

Petkar c bets and is called in two spots

turn is not a heart, Petkar leads and is set in by Cambianco with the nut flush draw

Petkar calls

River heart


The smartly dressed, slicked back hairCambianco tells me "Everyone knows me as Lorenzo. In Vegas, Mexico, Macau, Monte Carlo..just call me Lorenzo"

94 in so far today, break in 11 minutes time after two levels, 89 remain

A correction to one thing I said earlier, there are no re-entries into tomorrow

Not many bluffs likely to get through on Table Deadman

Richard Shiels raises pre and is called by Mark McCluskey in the blinds

Board Q-7-5-4-10, three hearts by the river

McCluskey check calls all three streets with 3-3

Sheils shows 3-3

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dvKhzCDAgM4/Smp0_qcbNLI/AAAAAAAAAgY/-Z8Ommc_xwA/s400/chop_hdr.png)

Mad Turk makes it 700 UTG at 100-200

H Nguyen makes it 6,000 with 27,000 back in the cut off

Folded back to Turk who says he will "raise or fold, give me a moment"

"you have Jacks?" he enquires of the taciturn Oriental Lady

He then says he notices that she is breathing heavily

He flips A-K face up and folds

So its Nguyen Win for Nguyen (one for the Vietnamese spambots)

The Badly Drawn Boy lookalike was awesome but when I read this I was hoping for an all-time classic lookalike.

Go Go Go Girl!!! Also good luck to Andy Wright, Mark Deacon, Richard Sheils and Ben Jackson!  ;mexicanwave;

Mad Turk bets 10,000 into a 13,000 pot

David Mobbs all in for over 55,000

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g63t2Ay-dHQ/TnIZayLdOUI/AAAAAAAATao/gxpr04yZLqk/s512/IMG_8878.JPG)

Turk thinks, and as is his wont talks to himself and the table, talkng through the hand. He eventually puts Mobbs on 8-8 or A-8 and passes. I think I hear him say he passed Aces

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-aCiYUTdUtFw/TnIZbklwkuI/AAAAAAAATas/uYBIvz-vi5c/IMG_8879.JPG)

Jelinek now makes it 23,500

Liperis all in

Langford has to fold

Jelinek calls

Jelinek  7d 5c

Liperis  7h 5h

river a by now irrelevant  9c and they chop it up

Whats the turnout gonna be like tomorrow? I'm planning on late regging at 3ish, will there be seats?

Karl Snow raises with Aces and M Abelkader calls him on the button


the board runs out as follows

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-35ls-lcc8aE/TnItT3DcWCI/AAAAAAAATbE/yOvjOC3z2Iw/IMG_8885.JPG)

On the end, Snow bets a third street 5,000

Abelkader all in for 35,000

Aces have to be a pass on 4-5-6-5-5?

No he calls and is shown 8-5 for runner runner Quads

108th and final entry today is Marc Goodwin

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PTWebx5RwVo/TnItSbo33DI/AAAAAAAATbA/XqrtU0EokjU/s512/IMG_8884.JPG)

Rasoul 2,000

Jelinek calls

Fitzpatrick makes it 7,000

Rasoul calls

Jelinek folds

turn K

Rasoul checks, Fitzpatrick pushes his last 14,000 in


Rasoul doesn't seem too happy but calls with A-A

Fitzpatrick shows, you'd need 100 guesses, 8-5 off for no pair no draw.

He's up to M6 J10 as we speak. Lucky M6 J10 players

Should be fine. I reckon anywhere between 150 & 180 and we can cater for 200 + alternates.

If your definitely coming drop me an email or PM and I will hold you a place.

LOL

Hi Rich, can I pls get some updates on the following players:

Andy Wright, Mark Deacon, Richard Sheils and Ben Jackson

Thanks in advance

M Asad and Julian Thew have been having fun

First they chop a pot with A6 and A5, shortstacked Asad shoving the big blind after Thew had called a raise on the button, to chop a pot on A-Q-K-8-9

Next hand Asad raises utg to 1,000. Thew 3,000 in the cut off, Asad all in for 9,000. Called

Asad AK ahead of Julian's AQ. This time a King on the river doubles Asad up

Andy Wright 69,000

Mark Deacon is blinding away on 43,500. Chips in from the start but a no show

Shiels 35,000

Ben J switched to tomorrow



blinds are 200-400-50 at the start of Level 6

97 of 106 remain

thanks lucky, will let you know this evening

Julian Thew of Sky Poker raises pre

Jeff Taslim calls him in position

Flop Q-10-Q

Thew c-bets, called

turn 8

Thew bets, Taslim raises, Thew raises, Taslim all in and called

Whew.

Thew 8-8 for the turned house. Nice.

Taslim 10-10 for the flopped bigger house. Nicer.

Julian back to Nottingahm

Ali Mallu over 100,000

Just had Aces, got paid by top pair. Funny that

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZXNmNhWXjJE/TnI6ZA6N_qI/AAAAAAAATbI/jMxKROhz1CM/s512/IMG_8886.JPG)

Gl Ali, and Andy (Bro) Wright

The board reads A-Q-9-Q-2

M Abelkader and Ali Mallu are in the pot, Abelkader in late position and Mallu in the blinds

Mallu first to act on nthe river a big overbet, setting Abelkader in

Abelkader thinks, and thinks, and has the clock called

With a few seconds to go he calls,

He flips Q-10 and immediately turns it back over, assuming he must be beat

However Mallu does not turn his cards over

the dealer asks Abelkader to reveal his hand if he wants to win the pot

So Q-10 gets turned over again

Mallu mucks, his perennial tactic of putting maximum pressure on his opponents having backfired on this occasion, as he says goodbye to most of his stack

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6k4MkctuImE/TnI-BMHDr0I/AAAAAAAATbM/0B16-TaRLaI/IMG_8887.JPG)

Steve Jelinek is running pretty well

Rasoul  Kh Qd

Big three way pot develops

Vickie Lambert the pre-flop raiser leads on J-3-3

Simon Deadman calls with 10-10

Gurinder Purewall raises with Q-J

Lambert flats with Q-Q

Deadman all in with 10-10

Purewall calls! Pretty brave call, and not in Deadman's plans, obviously

Lambert with two all ins in front, passes the best hand, understandably enough

Q-J holds, Purewall wins a monster, Deadman left with 10xbb, which soon goes in with 78ss which runs into an overpair

1b at 1pm tomorrow, goodnight

This man is known as Mr G in Broadway and fortunately he got busted when raising all in with air against Badly drawn boy.

He tried to shoot an angle on me yesterday when I bet on the river with middle pair and he 3 bet me. He looks over to me and without me asking he softly tells me that hes got a pair of aces as if hes trying to protect me as old mates might do. Knowing how he operates I call him and he mucks.

Is it just me or is that out of order??

hey mr bobaCelticLike... well played and good luck......  think this is more speech play than angles m8....  u read him well and made the call.... wiiiii !!

Cheers donk, just thought he caused a few probs on the table with questionable play/ethics. The floor got called 2 times in the first level with him involved both times.

il buy at 0.7 ?

LOL no probs... fwiw he looks a dodgy fucker...ha ha

Is this at me? If it is sorry but I don't usually sell.(only cuz nobody will buy - in before Celtic) If not just sorry.

:)
