Shaun "Claypole" Conning

His arrival takes us up to 108 runners today, 1 more than yesterday so far

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OF1cnYp4fvM/TnNONE4mtzI/AAAAAAAATd4/KRmnfSyHYmI/s512/IMG_8930.JPG)

Ask claypole how he got on with his QQ UTG plz tighty.

R Aulja raised and Claypole 3 bet in the big blind, not UTG

Called

flop J-3-4

Claypole leads for half the pot called

turn 4

Claypole leads for 6,000, raised to 16,000

Claypole folds


He's a bit sensitive about it, as I found out

Whilst I was watching Claypole limped UTG and it ends up a five way limped pot

flop  2s 3s 3h

checked round

turn  4c

checked to Claypole who bets 500, called in two spots

river  2h


all three check the double paired board

Claypole shows  Aspades 5s for flopped straight flush draw, turned straight, river scared, to win

End of 2 levels. Break

106 of 109 remain

blinds 100-200 next

average 50,500


Early double upper James O'Connor is the only >100,000 stack I can see

Karl Mahrenholz going well on 70,000



I have spent the last level walking around trying to find juicy hands, failing miserably. My luck will turn after the break, I hope. Groundhog updaters day needs some action......



(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo858nsvYi1qatypv.jpg)

Best of luck to Chris Baylis on table 1

Dominic Kay down below 40,000

says he keeps donating to Cambridgealex

I remained steadfastly neutral when Dom said to me

"It's not a good idea to keep bluffing him, really, is it?"

no way did shaun check? serious?

of course. I write what I see.

didnt realise middy was playing  :D

Here he is.

Like most the field seem to be, around starting stack

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EyUbGv_nhVA/TnNdeIuf89I/AAAAAAAATd8/T5i-aWWnQvk/s512/IMG_8931.JPG)

Lol @ pleno - I'll explain when we talk ha ha

Wasnt sensitive about the QQ - only the fact my opponent didn't have a clue lol - he thinks I'm a pussy as well now.....JJ a big part of his range and couldn't suffer embarrassment of 3rd hand exit ha ha. God luck all in

A smile from Amy, took a while coming

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-AShEkvt2oA0/TnNdvtX7QRI/AAAAAAAATeQ/I4ljyI21O5M/s512/IMG_8936.JPG)

Doesn't look like he's changed since then...

sorry, that was Chris Seager

this is Chris Baylis (I hope)

easy mistake to make, both look v alike imo

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-EAgB3wXn1Vs/TnNf4nPa_3I/AAAAAAAATeg/QaM86beGGIE/s512/IMG_8941.JPG)

ANY UPDATES ON MICHELLE SHEILS AKA 'GOLDENLADY'

SMILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

good old Dreenie is always good value for an update

She is in the midst of a prolonged argument with this fella, Martin Dietrich, who sounds like a cross between Donald Duck on helium and Eddie Izzard

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-T7g-yFXRSuA/TnNjHxohLAI/AAAAAAAATeo/R16ZAi_VxcU/s512/IMG_8943.JPG)

Apparently the D 4 rules on showdown are different to local rules, and once dreenie has won a hand, Dietrich insists on seeing her hand

"for information"

dreenie tells him to "get a grip", and I can see them both chuntering from several tables away as I write

Nico29 and cambridgealex are sparring like good'uns

Andy Moy limps for 200

Dom Nico Kay 700 UTG+1

Small blind calls

Alex 3,100 in the big blind

Kay 8,000 when the action returns to him with about 23,000 behind

After a think Alex sets him in

Kay passes after a lean back, a ruffle of some tousled hair and an enigmatic look towards Goulder


Only one winner in this battle so far. Goulder over 75,000, Kay down to 23,000

 

She is on exactly 50,000 though she tells me the stack has been a rollercoaster up and down

I got a smile. A rare smile, because apparently she is "on the vodka as no one else is"

A reminder of the weekend's side events for those who might fancy it

17th Sept 2011 8pm: £300 Side Event 15,000 chips, 40 min clock, 2 day event.

18th Sept 2011 2pm: £200 Side Event 10,000 chips, 30 min clock, 1 day event.


and next week is this http://www.euroshorthandedpoker.com/English/

seats available for 1a, if you fancy Dublin

LOL played with him wednesday night; the voice is priceless. Like an evil german comedy villain.

Phil Pratt limps, as does Alex Goulder and Dominic Kay checks in the big blind with K-8

Flop 6-8-8

Kay check calls a lead from Pratt, Goulder calls too

turn J

Kay check raises Pratt, called

Heads up to a 4 river

Kay shoves (about twice a pot bet by this point), called by A-J

He has doubled back to his starting stack

"just so I can give them to Alex again"

He was on my table at day 2 of the main event, didn't stop talking! Bit crazy but harmless

Brummieboy calls me over and tells me the storyof his tournament so far

He was down to 30,000 in the first level

Had Aces on 2-3-7-9. He was check raised on the turn, and called down to be met by 9-7 which had cold called a four bet pre

Had Kings on J-5-7-8. He was check raised on the turn and called down to be met by J-8


Steaming, he has apparently barrelled everything since, mainly at the expense of Steve Holden, and has got to 55,000 without a hand or showing one!

Blatant "I made day2" brag  imo

Yesterday's summary

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_n64_WhDuI

The secret diary of cambridgealex, aged 15


Phil Pratt limps

Alex Goulder makes it 650 at 100-200

Andy Moy and Pratt call

flop  Aspades 8h 2h

Pratt leads for 750.

Goulder calls

Moy makes it 2,500

Pratt calls

Goulder now bumps it up to 9000

Moy calls!

Pratt folds

With me so far?

turn  9c

Goulder leads for 18,000

Moy calls

river  2s

Goulder jams 26,000

Moy tanks, and tanks, and tanks. Holding  Ac 8s

He folds


The table is absolutely convinced Alex has made a big bluff

Remind me to reveal Alex's hand later if the table breaks, he wrote it down for me


Or you can guess the hand


Meanwhile, young Alex is back grinding the monopoly

Good luck alex goulder :)

A tour of the card-room looking for big stacks and big hands

Not too many of either, to be frank

Greek Jack is the third player over 100,000

Of course with this starting stack at this strucutre, there really aren't make or break levels on Day 1 as we saw yesterday

Hey Hannah

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x 1,000,000,000,000

how Dreenie doing pls

What's going on at table Dreenie - can't see from here and a right commotion - great word commotion

Well I have just spent the last ten minutes watching situations evolve on possibly the least savoury tournament table I have seen

I spoke earlier about the tension between Martin Dietrich and dreenie Nutt

This ratched up a notch after a hand in which Matthew Perry had bet 12,000 on the river of 6-7-2-9-2

Dietrich, not in the hand, calls the clock on Nutt.

As a purely independent observer, this felt quick to me, a matter of a few minutes rather than 5-10 minutes

Nutt passes before any of her minute is up, once the clock is called

Perry shows, no throws, Q-J off across the table

Nutt then hands her stack to Dietrich and says "go on, you have them, I have had enough"

Another player, W Jong (Continental European) then tells Nutt

"If you can't stand losing a hand, get out of the competition"

Charming

The TD comes over as voices raise, several conversations taking place simultaneously

Nutt tells the TD that "you have to break this table next or else I am leaving"

She got up, and hasn't been back to the table since

The European players then begin arguing with the TD when he gives them a warning for abusive words

Meanwhile, because see I couldn't seem to catch a big hand today for love nor money


Karl Mahrenholz 105,000
James O'Connor 95,000
Greek Jack 110,000
Dom Kay 70,000

going into level 6

blinds 200-400-50

103 of 119 left

average is 57,000

Alex Goulder down to 53,000, losing a 30,000 pot to Peter Garrett

AK v A7 on Axxx7,


Goulder the pre-flop raiser, Garrett c/raises flop, bets turn and river. Called down by Alex

Hi.

Swedish railer again ...
Any info about how James Lowreys stack is sized?

The stream is not the best so cant se, but think he sits on the feature table.


Thanks

W Jong knocks out Pete Evans

Evans, getting short 7-7 on the button

Jong A-A in the big blind

both flopped the flush draw, and Jong rivered the nuts

and that exit enabled the TD, very sensibly, to break the dreenie/Dietrich table, with dreenie now absent from her seat for getting on for half an hour hopefully she will now resume playing

Marcin Milde, UTG, raises, called by the cut off and button N Gavriel and C Constantinou

flop  Qd Js Tc

Milde leads, Gavriel calls

Constantinou all in for 45,000

Milde flat calls

Gavriel folds (I see a King)

Milde  Qs Qc

Constantinou  Jd Jh


Top set holds, and Milde is our chip leader with over 130,000

pic of dreenie's chair pls

This is James I think

About 82,000 so nicely above average stack

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VaCByyoA7Wg/TnONK6y8ttI/AAAAAAAATfI/w0QWzqSWADg/s512/IMG_8952.JPG)

I was racking my brains about this fella. P Reast is his name. That didn't help me much. I know him from somewhere....


(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--8Hp6TNkN1A/TnONM61YGTI/AAAAAAAATfM/8s17rX_S3e0/s512/IMG_8953.JPG)


Then he walks up to me and says "I know you from somewhere"

It transpires he is Pav the cat who used to go to all the P4C games. Might be known to a few of the old timers amongst you from the old days of 1808 gang etc

(http://www.torchgallery.com/application/upload/images/stock/Fire_Chair_1_0.jpg)

This!

And lady sovereign is your looky likey. Yw

Claypole is out

Ul claypole

Quality peel with a psb back!

Any updates on Owain Carey please, GL to all the BRS players.

Good things about to day.....

Seeing Brummie, Raj, Mike, Tighty
Meeting Alex and Dom
Probably saving 6x $200 in 200r

A day of comedy moments, including an old guy betting 400 into a 10k pot, and calling off a 10k raise with bottom pair and  Qd 3h calling my 4bet   Ad Kc, and calling all 3 streets hitting a  Qs on river.

That's about it - funny old game.....gl Brummie, Akex and Dom - come on the 10%

Arrive to play a stack previously blinding away

Rupinder Bedi


straight into table James Williams/Karl Mahrenholz

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-J3msOAvK5os/TnOT3jF4AZI/AAAAAAAATfc/kcedSrIQojk/s512/IMG_8958.JPG)

OK that's the hour long dinner break after 6 levels of 10 today

93 of 119 remain

average is 64,000

blinds 300-600-75 when we return about 8.30pm

I assume it's the same dreenie who came second in a wcoop this week ? Wp if it was

Yep wp her!!

Dominic Kay 95,000 at the break

Despite 4 bet folding to dreenie last hand before the break


He has  Ahrt 7h on the button

Dreenie 3 bets the small

Dom thinks she is steaming (er, she is) 4 bets

She 5 bets

He has to fold, despite thinking she's steaming, as he is thinking she might stack off rather than fold with Ace-8/9/10

you have to admire her aggression just wish she wouldnt let them get to her gl dreenie

how is michelle sheils doing?

Hows this posh lad doing?

We begin again in under 10 minutes

SkyAlex Goulder 75,000

Michelle Shiels 55,000

Weird went to school with Owain. Havent seen him for like 10 years. Had no idea he played poker

Dreenie chip count pls

it is hilarious how many people are patched up nowadays!

oh you got a patch..........  [  ] ill assume you can play then

(fwiw this is not an alex goulder ref - wp mitch)

Chip counts for James Williams and Lewis Taylor when you have time please Tighty.

P.S. What cuisine did you opt for tonight?

i lol alot at this pic

chip leaders just after the break

Marcin Milde 140,000
Ben Jackson 135,000
Karl Mahrenholz 125,000
W Yong 120,000
David Raven 120,000
J Winston 110,000
S Sheward 105,000
Peter Jacobi 100,000
Dom Kay 95,000

Just under 50,000

All is calm, all is quiet. Silent night ahead.

Williams 43,000. I hear he lost a sizeable pot just before dinner

I am putting two and two together and hypothesising that this was to George Bedi who took over a 39k stack and within an orbit was at 60k in the six minutes he played before dinner


My own dinner? I pulled a masterstroke and got myself classified as staff, hence a free Chinese meal with the dealers

Chicken Currey
Rice
Noodles
Vegetables

Chocolate doughnut

The Chocolate doughnut was from Tesco not the Chinese restaurant in house though

is this the same marcin as in the grimmer?

He still can't use photoshop.

Did reluctantly do a little chuckle though

its little jpkes like this that could get you a deal!!

Peter garrett limps in mid position

Dreenie Nutt calls in the small blind

big blind checks

flop  Jc 6h Qd

Dreenie leads for 700

Garrett calls

Garrett peaks at his cards, standing behind him I see  6c 6d

He wants me to see. Show off

turn  5s

Dreenie leads for 2,500

Uh oh

Garrett calls

river  6s

Dreenie leads for 7,500, into Quads, unknowingly

Garrett is playing 40,000 now

He min raises to 15,000 (more, surely?)

is called, flips his Quads for effect and gets a concerted murmur of approval from the table

i hope hes not drunk this time!!

gl owain
and can you wish a gl to Julian Noot please

gogogo brs

might shoot over tomorrow, Playin Stoke Megastack but runners wiill be light, big overlay, Railing Mum and son Shailes and Andy Wright, good work as usual Tighty

prizepool only guaranteed if they get 80 runners, it was less last month.

yes pal, just trying to promote, lol

To answer an earlier question, Lewis Taylor has 80,000

Meanwhile James Williams and George Bedi are in full jousting mode

Saw Williams 4 bet Bedi, and elicit a fold

Saw each call a raise from the other twice, bringing three others into the pot each time.

Karl Mahrenholz on the table, as chip leader on that table, is watchful and not involved too much as the youngsters, and Bedi, spar

Manchester regular gets over 100, Liverpool bombed out and not took place for last 2 months, Stoke, 60 ish last month

Hand of the day alert, sick stuff

Dreenie raises UTG

Dom Kay defends his big blind

flop is 6-6-Q

Kay check raises and is called

Kay barrels the 5 turn

Called

Kay sets Dreenie in on the 2 river

She has about 30,000 behind

She calls

This is now a 110,000 pot

Kay has to show 10-9 for complete air

Dreen ie has called the flop check raise, turn and called all in on the river with

A-10 for Ace high, which is good


No word of a lie, six of the players at the table tap the table, tell her it was a world class call, "sick" "brilliant"

Dom Kay sticks his tongue out to himself, shakes his head

Great heart and balls by both

dreenie

"I thought he was bluffing"

Winner, state the obvious award, 2011  :D

that's spot on , was pointing out there wont be an overlay

80 would be nice :)

dont get her angry, you wont like it when she is angry

P Mozin in the green hoodie who is, ahem, the value according to several at the table

raises at the new level 400-800

Karl Mahrenholz calls on the button

flop  6d 2s 5c

Mozin leads, Mahrenholz calls

turn  8h

check check

river  8d

Mozin checks and tells Mahrenholz to "value bet it"

Mahrenholz bets 3,000

Mozin calls

Mahrenholz shows  3h 6h and is good, against a mucked but verbally claimed Ace-King


James Williams gives Karl an appreicative, almost adoring, smile

Sadly Karl missed it

I only join the hand half way through but there is 21,000 in the middle when Peter Jacobi UTG bets 11,000 on

 6h 9s Jc

Dreenie Nutt in the big blind leans back, chuckles to herself, and passes  Qd Qh face up

Jacobi cocks his head and Grimaces, exaggeratedly taps the table in front of dreenie, flips Ks, I am assuming he had Kings

Walking down to the lower level I catch another hand half way through

The player in seat 10 (sorry, late entrants are not on the seating list) bets 2,000 and Michelle Sheils makes it 6,000 on

 8s 7s 5h

she is called

turn  5s

Seat 10 bets 12,000

Michelle shoves 37,000

She cannot believe it when Seat 10 folds

"anyone else at the table I call, but you haven't folded all day" she tells her opponent as she flips

 4s 6s for the turned straight flush

She now has about 65,000

Steve Holden down under 40,000

Limped AK UTG

New player to the the table in seat one raises, Holden calls

flop King high, in they go

Seat one has Aces and doubles through Holden

Amy Trodd trebles up to over 70,000

She calls a raise from G Wilkes and a call from P Reast with 4-7 in the bb

flop 5-6-2

Reast has 5-5

Wilkes J-J

Both call the c-bet from Jacks

turn 3, three stacks in the middle

Trodd trebles, Reast the side pot

Break after 8 levels, 2 more to play tonight

80 of 119 left

average 73,500

blinds 600-1200-200 next

Chip count skull man please

I sat watching table dreenie (It's box office) with one eye on the end of the cricket

One orbit

3 dreenie 3 bets pre

One dreenie three bet on the flop

One dreenie three bet that was met by a 4 bet all in for 90,000 (2k, 4k,90k) which was met by a plaintive cry from Ms Nutt

"Make it 9k not 90k, lets play"

Somehow, I think the point is that its best not to play her

Why is it that every time I try this with 4-7, the flop is always A-K-Q

Dom Kay doubles up through Alex Goulder

33,000 left

Limper, Alex iso raises

Kay overjams with 88

Alex calls with A-10

Pocket Eights holds to push Kay over 70,000 again


The lad has just described to me the 10-9 hand twice, in the break, trying to think it through all ways up!

I think it's great that a woman in UK poker has a game like this.  gl Dreenie.

thats why we love dreenie xxxxxxxx

38,000

Hi Tighty any news on the pay structure?

The Kay-Nutt show continues

Kay leads on 8-8-8 and Nutt calls in position

Kay check calls 9k on the 5 turn

check check on the 2 river

Kay 5-5 wins the pot

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-CRk4rzVxlpk/TnPHJGhWziI/AAAAAAAATfs/CIAmvqQaQhM/IMG_8962.JPG)

It's Baltic in here

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-aEGfB4vB5K0/TnPHJ00GrAI/AAAAAAAATfw/wjIIGxCDJCY/s512/IMG_8963.JPG)

Baltic Exchange (especially requested by Peter Carey, on the right)

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-qIDGIGae98U/TnPHKovLhJI/AAAAAAAATf0/2a-L3PQBWRU/IMG_8964.JPG)

Wim Jong from the contre-temps earlier

Dutch. Playboy-type.

Not that I am pigeonholing


(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-dzdIuCsKkds/TnPHLRZHtuI/AAAAAAAATf4/YT7poZ1GKpI/s512/IMG_8965.JPG)

Not yet, I have asked for it again and will post when it is made public

can you reveal alexs hand yet

Aces.

How is J noot and Owain carey doing please. :)

the Kay/Goulder table breaks

dreenie moves onto table Snoopy/Shiels


She raises UTG

Jim Tierney calls in the big blind

flop  5d 5c 8d

Tierney checks

Dreenie 7,000

Tierney c-raise to 14,000

dreenie makes it 32,000 more

Tierney all in for about 100,000

dreenie forced to pass

Carey still sub 50,000

 Daniel Bardsley brs 80,000

Don't know Noot I am afraid, you'll have to do me an Identikit description!

how many Dreenie got please

James Williams knocks out George Bedi

Williams raises A-J

Bedi, down to 20,000 shoves A-10

Called, A-J holds

i think hes also on owains table. brs badge. 6 ft dark hair. may hav a golfers clothes on. he usually looks like he needs an hours sleep

Dreenie rushes past me and I eventually catch up with her

"Not out are you?" I enquire

"Yes, well they tilted me" she replies

"How?" I ask

"Well that hand you saw, the big blind has only called for value because two others call. If they pass pre he's not in the hand. my move should get through on 8-5-5"

"What did you have on 8-5-5?"

"Not a lot"

"So it tilted you?"

"Yes, shouldn't have been in the hand"


"and your exit?"

she describes.......

J Winston makes it 4,100

Michelle Sheils flats

Dreenie with 40,000 shoves 6-6 in the big blind

Winston folds

Sheils calls with A-K and wins the race



p.s Great game, but if only she didn't tilt. Anyone know a book for that?

thanks, I think he may be out then



Meanwhile Owain check raises all in against T Shabhir, from the big blind, on a flop of  Kd 5d Ts

Shabhir folds

Carey shows the lovely (on that flop)  Jd Qd

He wanted the call to be a favourite to double up

Last level of the night approaches

Still a whopping 81 of 119 remain

average 73,000

blinds now 800-1600-200

so many heroes in today wow.

claypole, dreenie, alex and jimmy lowrey, wowowowowow.


gogogogoog the latter

Alex Goulder doubles to over 80,000

Kings hold against Ace-Queen on his new table


Already in the few hands I have seen Alex has been far more active since his move, picking up a few pots. Not being OOP to Dom Kay and dreenie probably helps

Paul Brummieboy Nash doubles to 60,000, standard coup, Queens hold versus Ace-King

Daiva Baltic blonde out

A multi-stage process

QQ lost to A-10 to double up a shortie

Folded Jacks pre to a 5 bet

Folded Jacks to a 4 bet post

Chip leader of the table, Wim Yong, raises,

She shoves A-Qss for 20x bb, he's raising every hand so she thinks she's not getting called

He has Ace-King this time and knocks her out

Update on Marcin milde and Jamie o` connor  please

sounds like a solid butchering by baltic

please see my edit. 20x bb, my misunderstanding of her telling...

Marcin 130-140k

Haven't seen Jamie since his table broke earlier, will go check

Nice 1 cheers

Did he have a famous father??

(http://sharetv.org/images/robins_nest_uk/albert_riddle-char.jpg)

Marcin Milde and Jamie O'Connor are on the same table

Milde was down to 80,000 when his nAKhh beat O'Connor's QQ in a 160,000 pot

O'Connor down to 80,000

New chip leader today, Michelle Sheils with 220,000

two key hands


She raised with  Qs Qd after Jim Tierney limped, and then he called

flop  7h 8h 9s

check, Tierney bet Sheils check raised and was called

turn  4h

Shields leads, called

river  Qh giving her the top set but on a four heart board

She checks, Tierney bets  and Michelle tank calls.

She is good against  Ac 6d



Same orbit she has KK on the button, Richard Haile QQ in the big blind, Kings hold, all in pre.

 

Greek Jack still in? Thanks Richard

Yes, 120,000 on the last fly by. Been battling with Ben Jackson for ten levels. Honours even!

Newish chip leader with over 300,000 on table Milde/O'Connor is Vance Martin
