and apologies to David Amos, who I now realise is david103 and AdamM667, returning blonde Adam Mason who I didn't bold last night

As ever thanks to those blondes who have donated towards making sure these updates take place, notably for this month bobalike and Eso Kral who funded this update out of last month's binks.

I am afraid to say this might be the last of these updates for a while. We do not have the income to fund them, and the volume of donations has slowed considerably, understandably enough. We can't rely on a donation fund for ever.

No matter, will make the most of today and see what the future holds

Good luck to all the blondes still in!!!

Gl to the following: Raj Dhiri, Stevie Bantick (spin that bowl up yo), IAN GASCOIGNE!, Nick Hicks, Andrew Hulme (although rather he didn't win), The Deadmans, Dewi, Eso Kral, David Amos, Mark McCluskey, Kurt Goodwin, Ben Dobson and the Guru Dave Nisbit and any other blondes I've missed.

Let's all do a big win :)

And especially GL to Tighty, will definitely donate a chunk if I bink a good cash. That's a promise.

GL to Frankie and Dewi today.

Matt Tyler's chip count is wrong 108300 not 183000

GOOD LUCK (in no particular order) to:

Nick Hicks
The Deadman Family (About time they won something....)
Al Goulder
Mark McCLuskey
Kurt Goodwin
Ian Gascoigne

And most of all..... Me

Amos doubled Saifon Lambe out, calling her QQ shove with K-10

Then Hulme knocked out Amos and Ben Jackson on the same hand

Jackson shoved A8cc, Amos called all in 55, Hulme 99 in the blinds, nines held

Dewi James can learn much from John Exley. The correct use for spectacles, for starters

After 12 hours pondering, it came to me at 6am. The lookalike that is

(http://www.tmcentertainment.co.uk/images/speaker-index/SpeakOutBenFogle.jpg)

Dewi James out

A-K into the K-K of Ray Ryder (below) with similar 50,000 stacks

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Pwvf-MamZ1Y/TpGF-hcCfbI/AAAAAAAATrw/ik_vkgHtMvk/s512/IMG_9170-1.JPG)

Eso Kral out, lost a big potagainst Shola Akindele leaving him with 17,000

Then he shoved K-2, Raj Dhiri flatted behind hoping to induce

Raj with AA knocks him out

Gordon Goodall raises to 10,000 with 9-9

Orlando Anderson shoves 40,000 with 3-3

called

All is fine for Gordon until the turn

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-niLk-Y0TGDQ/TpGF_ejqlnI/AAAAAAAATr8/-MjUVryAWBY/s512/IMG_9173-1.JPG)


Orlando doubles up

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ueCBvOSXAZQ/TpGF_-TyC2I/AAAAAAAATsA/FmAVmlKExk0/s512/IMG_9174-1.JPG)


and then knocks Goodall out when a 9-7 shove finds Orlando with A-Q in the big blind, flop A-K-Q

Do not call the clock on this man

Yeh gl to everyone. My tip is the samurai Nick Hicks

Yup Nick is the best player left in the field and I think you'll struggle to find a nicer bloke in the field too.

gl to the Greek bookies favourite!

Ian Gascoine wins a big flip against Mark McCluskey to knock him out

Mark 7,000 on the button, Ian all in 60,000 small blind

Wins a 60,000 pot against Danile Muddiman, c-raising A-8-3 blind versus button and value betting a river/paired board

Loses a 50,000 pot v Orlando Anderson leading 10-J-K after a calling a raise in the big blind, before giving up on the Q turn

Ben Dobson going well

Seriously good table presence, it must be said

goodluck to Ben Jackson,  Jamie Oconner and  Raj Dhiri

great updates tighty as always, will flick a donation in to the live update fund

Chipcounts for Alex, Stato, Deadman, Shola and Orlando pls? (sorry its long lol)

Things, exit wise, have slowed up early this month

Only two exits in the last 40 minutes and still 53 left


Looking at the bigger stacks and selected names who are friends of yours


Paul Romain 200,000 still

Jason Barton has won the stack back off Steve Jelinek. He has approaching 200,000 too

Jack McDermott challenging for the chip lead

Andrew Hulme 170,000

Shola Akindele 115,000 despite doublling two shorties up KK<A7 and AQ<AK blind on blind

Simon Deadman over 100,000

Alex Goulder similarly

Matt Tyler 130,000

James Atkin hanging grimly on with 10-15x bb, sitting to the direct right of Nick Hicks with 130,000




blinds are just about to go 2-4k and average is 101,100


and now 50 are left, 36 paid

Alex Goulder out

Down to 45,000 after "losing a series of small pots"

He shoved A-9 and Jack McDermott found A-K behind and held

Andrew Hulme over 200,000 and vying with McDermott for the chip lead

Ian Gascoine opened for 11,000 with 10-10

Andrew flatted with 3-3

In the blinds Wayne Thomas all in 40,000ish with A-Q

Gascoine folds

Andrew calls

Ace on the flop, three on the turn to knock Thomas out

and the break to six tables puts these four big stacks in a row

Gascoine and Hulme, Roamin and Deadman

Reckon Jack Mcdermott has a pretty good shot in shipping this.

Obv good luck to all the blondes.

Reuben Mariott opens to 9,000

Bash Mahmood all in 32,000

Ian ascoine in the small blind calls

Mariott folds

Mahmood with  Ad Ts takes on Gascoine with  Aspades Qs and they see a

 3d 4d Kd flop

Sadly for Bash bish does not become bosh as he misses the flush outs on  Kh 5s to depart in 45th

Jack is chip leader with 310,000. Very kindly he counted it for me

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_mI1gFLMSRE/TpGUDtBDmTI/AAAAAAAATs4/qOuvVpFRwx8/s512/IMG_9188.JPG)

What is Jack's poker background/ Where's he from etc?

thanks to those who know him.....

jack is a sick sick player,plays online as _jmcd_89.
he's long due a big score live,this is the day to get it!
gl boi TID!!

edit:he's from london,member of the world renowned nappy crew!

Pretty sure he is predominantly an online player, but plays a fair share of live tournaments. I've normally seen him at The International, so guessing he's from London. Not played with him a huge deal, but from what I've seen, a real good player.

any news chip counts on any of these 3 plz tighty  Ben Jackson,  Jamie Oconner and  Raj Dhiri ?

Ben Jackson out early

Jamie over 150,000

Raj about 90,000

I arrive to see a 3 way all in on a  Kh 7s 6s board

Orlando Anderson is all in with 4-5

I gather now Orlando called the Deadman raise/Ian flat of the raise in the small blind and open jammed the flop

and was called in two spots

river 8

no spades



Orlando trebles up

Deadman wins the side pot with Queens, but is nevertheless down to <10x bb

Chris Forde doubles through Daniel Elder

Forde shoves 196k UTG A-Q

So much pride for Simon in this lol. Come on the golden boy!

Grammar From A Poshboy

Why 'lah30f'... that is what i want to know? Seems like a random combination of letters and numbers.....

Amazing.

Kurt Goodwin out 15th

William Anderson raised 6-6 in the small blind

Goodwin shoved A-2 in the bi, was called

Sixes held


John Stanley doubled through Jamie O'Connor blind on blind

Hi, hows chris retalick doing? was that a big blow to his stack??

Chris Forde raises UTG, having been active the previous orbit

Deadman shoves his 160,000 in from the small blind

Called straight away

Forde K-K

A master of understatement, Deadman tells the table "that's not good news"

He shows K-9cc

flop a rather miraculous 6c 2c 9s

Incredibly Deadman misses on the Q-3 turn and river and is out 14th

About 250k so 16x bb


One of the shorter stacks

Jamie O'Connor knocks out Ben Dobson 13th

Dobson shove A-9

O'Connor reshove A-K

Chip counts then

despite being a rentboy for Mr Jackson Jamie is a cracking lad. i might be wrong but i think he is ranked 4th on the years mtt leaderboard on i poker too

lol just as he goes chippy

Yes he is ranked 4 on Ipoker and yes he is a great lad and a great player good luck to him

correct! Jamie is one of Bankroll Supply's top mtt players, expect to see great things from him in the future! obv binking this will be one of them!!! gogogogo bozzaaaaaa

Short break

Back shortly

I can't believe that Herbert actually reported a piece of factual information and it was correct. Today is a great day for mankind.

Not too sure about the rentboy bit but Mr Jackson never answered that bit, so who knows?

Viewing this thread Mondeoman, skolsuper.

WAL..

Glgl Stato and Shola. Might drop in for the rail!

A deal was proposed

£7k each for the 12

Jamie O'Connor wanted £10k and he'd do it, which I think was turned down

They are playing on


(tantalising glimpse of being home at 8pm there for the updater.  I don't run that good)

Andrew Hulme out, Shoved 10x bb with 4-4, ran into Chris Retallick with K-K

only coz i read it on sadbook lol.  rotflmfao at mr jackson loving puppies too. bit afraid that if Jamie wins this he may go on a bender and not be seen for days.
just told Jamie not to deal as well. if he beats shola and ian he wins this

ffs ul mate

There been many 12 man splits in a big tournament in the past?

;technophobe; ;grr; ;technophobe; ;grr;

Ul mate

That bok took 1min.

he should still do Greece tho for sure

Good luck Bozza get it shipped son..

Well now

All bar one player agreed £10,300 for the chip leader and £7k for everyone else. 3rd in the payout is £10k, 4th £7k

chip leader is William Anderson

O'Connor and Akindele have gone back to the pack, blinding away, raise/folds

The refusal is from a medium stack, none of those mentioned in this post

Peter Evans out 11th

9-9 into the K-K of Haroon Hussain


there will be no more deal discussions until the final, says the TD

was it chris retalick refusing?! how is doing plz?

That's why black card red card should be used when doing deals . Was used I'n Ireland with 20 odd players left

We have a final

First John Stanley doubled up Jamie O'Connor

A-10 raise on the button, Jamie Shoved A-Q and held


the same two clashed aain

Stanley shoved K-Q

O'Connor called A-7

the board ran out A-7-2-5-7 to knock Stanley out 10th

Chip counts and seat draw coming

DEAL DISCUSSIONS IN EARNEST

Working out a chip count deal

Will report further....

Another suggestion is Anderson £10k, the rest £9k

the two short stacks, notably Shola, turned down an equity deal that gave them £6-7k

re-proposed the £9k each

Anderson gave up the equity


they agreed £9,000 each with £10,000 to

William Anderson, who is the official winner of the DTD October Deepstack

tannoy

"Players request for Ian Gascoigne to sit down in the uncapped £1-2, Ian Gascoigne ot the cash tables"  ;D

Sigh. Good news for you tighty. Bad news for us railing

Wp all and great updates tighty.

Need to point out that these excellent updates are funded by blonde members donations and anyone reading that would like to chip in please contact tightend. Cheers

Job and knock, cheers Tighty.

Winner William Anderson

Thank you 'Tighty'  for the commentary. LOL

no wonder he won if he kept getting dealt 3 cards..

thanks for the updates Tighty, +1 to what smahedagain says!

well done Jamie Oconner and all the other guys that made the final and done the deal wpwp

Right

I suppose it is always a shame for an update to see an early deal like that, but, it happens. Well done to all the players on securing a nice bink of nearly 3rd place each

 ;grr;


Right. I get to go home early

Get in

 ;yippee;




Goodnight from Nottingham, back for GUKPT Coventry updates from Friday. Please join me then

great updates, as per usual

didnt like the digs at the fish, poker ecology and all

I might know a greek lad who had 10% of one of the finalists. weee

gd updates tighty!

Sigh just saw that stato was knocked out. Unlucky to the other boys too.

Well done to Shola and Ian Gascoigne!

Let's keep the updates going as they're brilliant. £50 in the kitty for the next one from me.

Congrats to the finalists.

Ian, you deserve a break, have a nice week off somewhere sunny. Hope to see you at DTD in a weeks time :)

dont like any of this unless its a big level and hes in on it. :(

I'm fairly confident in my read that he (a) doesn't give a fcuk and (b) enjoys the competitive spirit of the whole affair.

Besides, my Skype sessions on table selection continue this week. Put those 9bags in a treasure chest, chain it shut, chuck it to the bottom of the ocean. The only way Mitch can get it then is if he's muthafckin Jacques Cousteau.

great work and wp to all who cashed.
how do we get a donation to you tighty?

Ian is a friend of mine aware of the in joke and was laughing reading the updates

Name the fish please

Knowing Mitch's luck, it'd probably float from said ocean to the bed of the Trent right outside his house. He'd be walking past it, trip up and fall in the river, and see the chest at the bottom, bink the combination to the lock at the first attempt and rub the cash over his very large titties.

Hmm not had chance to read everything fully yet but is this about Ian? If so Ian is one of the nicest most humble guys you could meet. Continually improving and loves his poker. I was genuinely rooting for him and I'm sure he knows this. Sorry if I've misunderstood...

this,

we're all friends at dtd, and all the bumhunting jokes are just that, jokes. we make them to his face all the time and it's just part of the dynamic of our group.

how people can comment saying they disapprove is a bit beyond me, given they've no idea of our friendships with Ian.

I know for more than a fact that everyone in this thread that has had the slightest rib at Ian were all sweating that he'd do well. Not for any bumhunting reasons, because they genuinely like him.

Ian will admit that he is the biggest needler of himself. Hes a very very smart guy and is improving his poker ability immensely. He admits himself he is value to people like Mitch and Alex and makes fun of himself about the subject, which is why everyone else does similar. Hes not as bad as he, or anyone else makes out.

Definately agree with Alex

Tighty, has DTD changed the blind structure recently, I know a deal was done with 9 players still remaining but 6pm finish still seems early? I know the clock was changed from 45 minutes to 40 minutes a while ago but have there been any blind structure changes in the last few months?

All im going to say on the subject, is that ian played very well when i was on his table earlier and im sure simon (who was also there) would agree. Was obviously catching some cards but played his hands very well and made some good calls, congrats mr gascoigne on a well deserved score, it was fun playing with you.

Oh and if this is about ian... He DEFINITELY was not the fish on the final table, one of the best players imo

It ended  7.30pm and would have gone to 11pm no deals. Structure is as always

Always some oldboy bashing to finish these threads off. :) 
Great local results for Ian and Shola  and top performance from mr O'conner even if his bottle went in the end ;)

gg games and great reporting as usual!

Well i can say Ian played well, Was on his table friday and he got moved again to my table on sunday very nice guy
very nice bunch of guys and gals.
made my trip back to wales a nice trip for a change :)
Great job on the updates again

thanks, I have sent a private message

'Bout bloody time Ian ;)

Just to clarify what I wrote in the traffic jam last night

Ian is a big supporter of blonde, one of the businesses of which he is chairman www.mycardshark.com has sponsored updates and again last night post event he offered to do so again

Because I know Ian quite well I know he can laugh at himself, and I know he will take the mickey taking the right way if I post things that, if I did not know the player, I wouldn't dream of posting.

Ian is a big Sheffield Wednesday fan. It helps that for the first time in ages they are having a good season, so he's anturally in quite good spirits!
 

sorry for saying it, i dont know the ins and outs and never met the guy, just thought some of the emssages sounded a little harsh and as if people were tapping the bowl, but glad to see everything is in good spirits.

wp all.

Well done Paul, nice result :-)

Great updates Tighty.

Ian is a twat.

Tighty, thanks for the blogging and just for once managing not to get a picture of me wearing two pairs of glasses!

Pm me on here, or preferably FB in case I forget to look on here, and let me know how to donate some of my winnings towards your updates. All of Team Romain follow it when I manage to get past the first few levels so I better help keep it going i guess!! :-)

Paul
