Would really like to see George convert after another good day 1.

Best of luck buddy.

Morning.

I will pass on all of the good luck messages shortly, play starts at 2pm.

Personally would love to see all the Blondes do well, particularly George, but would also like all the BRS guys to win, and Mark Physick cause he's from my home town. Hmm. looks like I'm rooting for a 12 way chop then.

Have to say I'm well impressed by Dave J and Sky poker's Cristos, how they both turned very short stacks around to be coming back today as contenders.

I'm off to find some Paracetomol.

Terry Owens    205,000

Trev Reardon   161,900

Barry Grime      156,400

Dan Corbett     131,000

George Bedi     121,800

Andy peters     108,500


Blondes include Trigg with 85k, Pete W (Semtex) 32K, Tim Blake 7,200, Amy T 77K Mike Da Bookie Hill 64K, David Johnson 5K Matt perrins 44K and jakally Neil Gribbin 33K.

Sky Poker guys Steve Moss, Tony Stroud, Cristo and Dan Brown all still in.

71 players left, will play to the end of nine levels or to a final table of last nine players.

George is the one and only for today.

Gl luck to;

Derek (John) Miller - Accrington's finest                          .......................                Accrington's only.

Biggle Wiggle Gigglesworth.

Oh, and that dapper chappy Dave Johnson (cardigansrus@valdooniganretroattire.com)            ....................              allegedly spotted chasing the 'crumpet' at 4.am in FunnyGirls last night!

gl all blondes spesh mr johnson! still on form then mouth.....

Funking for Trigg n George, GL!

Lot's of luck to George, Giblin and Trigg.

Any of these to win would be quite splendid tyvm.

And we're off.

Sigh one day he'll learn to win flips like his apprentice...

Clock stopped, mad scenario I've never seen before.

John Miller flats with QQ.

Jack Ellwood raises with JJ.

John goes allin.

jack thinks and calls.

They turn over their hands and the dealer mucks them both.


Yes, mucks their cards - PREFLOP.

good luck to Ritchie Sinclair

So... two hands mucked preflop after both players declared allin.

What was the ruling?






Both hands declared dead and both players given all of their chips back.


John Miller not happy at all. Even Jack seems suprised that John doesn't even get Jack's first raise in his chip stack. Opinions?

Hi Ian

mark's holding his own.

Much like his sex life.

sack the dealer .
any chip counts on trigg plz caroline.

The players are playing for £70k ffs. What are these dealers on? crack?

Should point out - John Miller "won" the blinds and antes, but not Jack's raise? No sense there surely?

Trigg on 200K.

interesting ruling!

Players responsible for protecting their cards at all times
Good updates thanks
I just got home can feel a visit to the pub

George has sent Terry Owen home

Terry had A10, picked up a flush draw on flop but George's 77 held and even tripped up on river to more feel good factor.

George on 170K

Odd ruling. If both players and dealer agree on the two hands fish thecards out. Reshuffle the rest. Deal it out

Hi Ian

mark's holding his own.

Much like his sex life.

Lol u r naughty

. The cards are on their backs!!!

Caroline, who made the ruling? Ian Bryan ??????????????

That seems to be the general consensus here as well.

It wasn't Ian Bryan who made the ruling by the way, just for the Ian Bryan haters!

Ok think I will just go to pub

are u sure this time about terry lol

I'm not an Ian Bryan hater, it's just that he has more Fawlty Towers moments than anybody else. Crazy ruling, the cards were on their backs, deal it out!!

If the cards have been exposed and on their backs how are they meant to be protected? They have been seen by the table and surely just removed from deck. Crazy ruling in such a big pot and high level tournament!

It was Karl who made the ruling.

I'm lost as to how Derek Miller gets the blinds and antes to be honest.


Anyway, I'll be impressed if he doesn't tilt after this, he was pretty sick. Jack Ellwood, although he was behind with JJ seemed unhappy that Derek didn't get Jack's original raise either, pretty much a real gent.

Paul Jackson has added his opinion: That on the end of every rule list the final rule is the TD's decision if final.

Rather than take the easy option, the most equitable decision would be to take the QQ and JJ out of the deck, reshuffle and play the hand out.

Seems to be everyone thinks this. Rather than the TD.

Good to see that the Grosvenor are living up to their reputation of making absolutely horrid cardroom rulings time and time again.  To say that this is a bad ruling is completely correct but I would go further and say that is absolutely shocking and downright embarrasing for this to have happened in a £1k event.

@"Players responsible for protecting their cards at all times "

The cards were protected.  They were shown face up over the betting line having both been declared all in.  Once a hand has been exposed there is no need for a player to have any concern with it.  Often dealers will scoop a hand in to place it dramatically on either side of the board.  This comment /\ is nonsense.

In this situation the cards should speak.  Everyone knows what the hands are/were and regardless of whether or not an incompetent, stressed or crazy dealer mucks them, burns them or eats them the two hands are still at showdown and a board should be ran out and the hand played on.

If we haven't been given the complete information and the dealer has mucked the hands and then the stub also then this becomes a lot more difficult but the hands should 100% not be declared dead.  Grosvenor should have a procedure for this and a way to reconstruct a board.

I really hope that the TD is disciplined for this, what a joke...

Mark Physick on 170K, Anna on 50K

Nice stack, nice rack.

John Miller tells me his QQ was destined to lose anyway. He's an eternal optimist.

paul Jackson and TD Carl are having a heated debate in my ear.

Paul is winning.  Good to see he can still take something down.

it seems my post dont come out  it s terrible rulling and since hands on their back u can not protect anymore as they r in dealers control if muppets mucks them by mistake fish them out and deal it

 I've seen this happen twice in the Vic and both times the four cards, (which had been clearly tabled and were agreed by all), where left out, the rest of the deck shuffled and the hand dealt out.

 I cannot for the life of me see why they would make any other ruling. I also cannot understand how we are about to start year 6 of the tour and they can't have consistent rulings among casinos that are owned by the same company (in the same chain). The other ruling from day 1a where the guy says he's calling if you go all-in and then he folds when the guy goes all-in is not a call according to the Vic, but several people on here said that it was declared a call earlier in the year on the tour.

 I'm a massive Jeff Leigh fan, but wasn't the point of having him travel round, I thought part of the remit was to ensure consistency.

 I personally have attended very few GUKPTs this year because I felt they just weren't listening to me when I offered constructive criticism, or they were listening but nothing ever got done.

 Black Belt have put £200,000 in entries into the tour in past years but this year the number was under £30,000. We have given our business to the UKIPT.

My 2 cents:

Use camera to help where available. Don't agree that if you don't have a camera on every table you can't use them where you do

If still not possible to determine who had which suits I would take the 4 queens out of the deck, shuffle them and give 2 random ones to the relevant player and repeat with the jacks to give to the other player. Shuffle the deck and deal the hand out.

Any common sense attempt to resolve the situation has to be better than an over eagerness to kill players' hands when they have done nothing wrong

Karl

Amy Trodd OUT.

She called all in with A8 against George's A10, no help.

Unlucky Amy.

Last lady standing is local girl Anna.

FYP :)

 The turning point for me in making my decision not to support the tour as I have very loyally in the past was the terrible dealing at this exact leg.

 I have been a regular visitor to Blackpool in past years but I wasn't going to be treated the way they treated me there last year. I remember one dealer was just awful but the worse thing was the surly and arrogant attitude.

 In the PLO tournament I think there were 5-prizes but of course we had to play hand-4-hand at 10 players because we were about to make the final. It was 1am and no points were available for coming 9th, 8th etc. I constantly asked why this was and they seemed to relish telling me it was Grosvenor policy and there was nothing they could do. There was something I could do though and that is why I am not there.

 I didn't play the Vic leg in March as I wasn't allowed to call up and buy-in as a late alternate on the phone and then turn up a couple of hours later (after the Cheltenham races had finished). I would have to go from my house to the Vic to buy in and then come back and miss a race. They couldn't be flexible - Grosvenor policy. My policy was I won't play then.

 

Also the ruling yesterday where player A raises, B 3 bets. Player A asks for a count and whilst B is counting his stack the dealer deals the flop. As player A is unable to stop the dealer before the 1st 2 cards of the flop are dealt, his hand is ruled dead

Mark Physick taking a head clearing walk.

Got it all in against Ash Hussiens 88, Mark had JJ, Ash spiked an 8.

Ash up to about 80K, Mark still on 135K ish.

Mark has got it in good solidly for two days, Dena breaking his table up now so hopefully a new table will help him stay solid.

I'm still off down the pub

shocking ruling, not sure of who Karl is so cant comment on him. But why they allow people like that to rule i'll never know. The rules are set out throughout Grosvenor but it's down to everyones interpretations of the rules as to why we get problems.

It all went downhill after Big Mike left in year one of the GUKPT

Comments appreciated Karl and Neil.

As opinionated as I usually am, I'm not qualified in any way to comment on the rulings so it's good to get opinions from players who have seen it all before.

Pokerrisk's Ming Lee was down to the felt before with 8k, but has scraped his way back to 40k.

Tim Blake still on 42K. Lazarus didn't even come close to this.

love the mad turk

 Let me also remind anyone who is suprised that this can happen in a tournament with such a big prize that there was an incident in this same event last year.

 With around twelve players remaining the dealer mucked the hand of a plyer who was all-in.

 My memory of the exact circumstances is hazy but I believe in this situation there were players to act and although this would be a terrible way to be knocked out of a big comp the player had simply not protected theirhand. Obviously the dealer was at fault but the player had the ultimate responsibilty.

 In a very dangerous precedent I remember that the player just lost the amount of the original raise and was still in the event.

 Maybe someone can tell the story EXACTLY as it happened but I knew then these people could not be relied on to handle this money.

 If these kind of mistakes were made with Grosvenor's money in the pit they would be sacked instantly.

That actually sounded like a rubdown - it wasn't! Difficult for me to do anything other than sarcasm as you both know.

Forty minutes left in level 13 Blinds 1200, 2400 running ante 300, 37 players left and average stack is 106,000.

[/b]

This is just  unlucky Karl, the dealer has made a mistake but the TD has followed Grosvenor rules correctly.

there was an incident like this last year maybe tighty will remember the details

 It did make us sound pretty old. I was upset until I remembered I am old.

 Great updates by the way young lady.

Pete Semtex Wrigglesworth on 72K.

Paul Bracken 2007 winner on 35K, in his own words he donked a few off to jamie OConnor.

Minky lee on 62K.

whilst you are here Mr Badbeat have you made more seats available for Blackbelt live next weekend at Dtd. Got mine locked obv but keep getting folks asking if they can get in for day 1b. ty

i remember ian frazer was in hand v 1 of guys from london he said i m not passing or i m calling if u raise frazer i think went all in and other player forced to call all in even he had no intention

HOW IS DAVE BIG BOY ARE YA? JOHNSON GETTING ON?

;)

THAT HANDS PAST LETS GET BACK TO THE ACTION!

From what I saw on the stream, everyone knew the players had QQ and JJ, but couldn't be sure on the suits.  If the QQ and JJ are mucked and back in the middle of the deck, how do you know what suits they are?  Surely you can't just root through the deck and pull out the 1st 2 jacks and queens you find!

Big pot.

darren Hickman raises on button, called in BB by Barry Grimes.

Flop

Js 3c 10s

Barry check raises darren's flop bet to which darren comes back with an allin of a further 65K.

Barry tanks for a bit and makes the eventual call with J5. Top pair.

Darren turns over KK

turn and river Q Q

Darren wins a monster pot.

Ben Jackson on 340K.

Jon Prested on 78K

Ash Hussein on 70K

37 left

106K the average

Hazel Blake has become a member of the Blonde team, mainly so she can sit behind the rope with me as she can't see over the heads of the guys on the rail.

Tim still grinding his 40K stack.



Side event starting now. Capped at 100, alternates already on standby.

This is a worse ruling than the JJ QQ hand IMO.

There has been a desperate need for a consistent set of rules and there implementation for years, and yet many of us keep on accepting these crap rulings. I think Neil's non playing stand is good, but what we possibly need is a players union, who can help bring some consistency to the industry. It really shouldn't be this hard?

 Karl makes a great point - they have cameras.

 Of course we all know that while cameras are constantly trained on you throughout if you venture over to play BlackJack or roulette in poker they'll often come back and tell you it was slightly blurred which really means we don't have cameras on this table because they are terribly expensive and it's only poker and not our money.

 We are close to selling out Nottingham Live Jason (glad you asked). Don't want to overly spam the thread (just a small spammage), but yes, we are about to release 25 more seats for each day, we may get another 25 if we can sell them quickly. We are selling 20 a day at the moment so they could go on Monday quite easily.

update on anna and mark physick plse

Is Richard Sinclair still in ?
How many get paid pls?

DJ still in?

George opens, Marc Foggin raises just over minimum. Andy peters in the SB min raises again. Called by George and Marc.

Flop

5 2 10 rainbow.

George bets out, Marc passes, Andy tanks and declares all in.

George folds without too much thought.

Lot of play going on on this table, George seems to be making most of them.

Absolutely horrible ruling. If that is the rule then obviously everyone should get their chips back as the hand is declared dead. If the hand is deemed to have too much action and live then the last remaining player should be awarded the pot, in this case split. But if the TD had any common sense then they would realise how fucking easy it would be to cheat (goes without saying that Jack wasn't) if you were mates with the dealer and got it in with horrible equity not to mention pissing off the whole table when the best player there doesn't lose chunks of their stack. The best ruling by far is to do a QQ v JJ run out, how they do it is just semantics.

The camera thing is interesting, nearly every stars venue doesn't have any but there was an incident somewhere this year (can't remember where poss Tallinn) where they referred to them over something.

GL to G2L!

great. really looking forward to it. the £1k hi roller on the staurday night looks like being an awesome game and if i can win the $100+$10 satellite on Blackbeltpoker this wednesday it will represent great value. i notice there are only 2 runners atm and one of em is you. now that really represents good value ;)

well said mr channing, obv the dealer had a bet on jake to win lol

Richard Sinclair not listed as out but cant spot his jacket anywhere, will have a look.

Anna and Mark similar to last report just before Flisby.

Neil - spam elsewhere ;)

(http://www.ssplprints.com/lowres/43/main/36/115050.jpg)

GL trevor Reardon, ur due 1 fella

I agree that if the suits are unknown surprising as that would be, resolving is more difficult. got to find a way to do a run out though or at the very least give miller Jack's raise as his is the last action, assuming dealer took Jack as folding.

Over a 100K pot has got barry Grimes back in the pot.

Jack Ellwood in EP, didnt see how hand played out but Barry in BB again, with jack shite again, catches a flush on river. Gets his last 50K in, Jack tanks for some time and makes the call, mucks his cards.

how many mark livsey on??

and Sam Trickett massive chip leader in Partouche Poker Open...has 6.4 mil against 2nd place who has 2.3 mil...8 left

36 players left as we go into the dinner break.

Back shortly.

How many paid?

with dealers looking this interested in the game no wonder there are things going wrong.

wow sams been busy :-)

eh ?

the dealer not holding onto the deck until after hand is finished tilts me, shes staring off into space not interested in the hand, no wonder they get mess ups

 This is a cut n paste from another forum (can we say AWOP). Blonde were not covering the event last year.

" Bit of controversy here.

Neil Giblin moves all in....Martin Devlin announces all in!!

The dealer then accidentally mucks Martins cards!!!

Zack and Dena discuss a ruling and it's decided that Martin can take his bet back as there is no action behind him. Though Martin does have to put in 8,000 (1 big blind).

What do you think of this ruling??"

 This was in the Blackpool main event last year with 17 left. Martin finished 17th anyway as it happens as he ran 1010 into KK straight after.

bad ruling player should be protecting his cards in this instance totally different to miller-ellwood

The dealer reached around me in seat 1 (Martin Devlin) and scooped seat 2's cards. I'd moved all-in with all of my chips and turned around for a brief second, as the dealer scooped seat 2 cards, he took mine and immediately said woaa mate, I've took your cards, it was that fast I didn't even notice. I had to pay 8,000 chips (1 x bb).

Looks like perfect dealing to me.

Deck should never be let go until hand is over

Had the same happen to me at the UKIPT in Cork called a shorties shove with 10's he turns over 57s, dealer puts cards in middle of table then mucks them, had same ruling there as well.

Hi Paul x

This is not true, once the river card is dealt, it is standard practice for the dealer to spread the deck on the felt and let it go.

Is there a live stream ?  Also update on Pete Wigglesworth please..

Wasnt Marcel Luske and some others coming up with a comprehensive set of rules at one time ? So bizarre that there is no uniform set of rules to cover such mistakes (and everything else like to arise) when so much money is at stake. Having said that, getting dealers to pay attention to what is going on is more of a training issue than a rule issue..... another matter which also needs addressing. If i might be so bold...

Chip counts now coming.

Play started again after dinner break, 1500 3000 blinds, running ante 300

hey Vinny, hows it hanging m8

Can Trigg go one better this time?

The dinner break hasn't slowed Ben Jackson down: still raising one in three pots.

Think he's only really been played back at once, when George opened, Jon Prested 3 bet, Ben 4 bet, George got out of the way and JP II 5 bet all in then waved Q 4 off in Ben's face as he folded.

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-GmMTyDl_oHk/Tr7Hm8-otMI/AAAAAAAAU_A/SmOOvCZrte0/s640/022.JPG)

Good luck Bedi!!!!!

OUCHH
Top 3 look good, GL to Ben Jackson and Peter Wigglesworth, updates on wiggy pls.

Peter Semtex wiggle has just gone

Jamie O opened, flat called by Pete and Steve Brown.

Flop was three hearts, jamie checked, Pete shoved all in with Kh 9d.

Steve calls with a made flush and Peter didn't improve.

From the bald one too mate ....

caps off for you now david

it looks hard work mate smile you might get some cards!!! ;)

Gl Ash, and Mark Physick. Great up dates CC, X

Anna Astley hanging on with two ten bigs.

On her table, Ming lee opens, Jamie Oconnor 3 bets him from the BB.

Minky calls.

Flop

4h 8d As

Minky bets, jamie calls.

Both check turn

River
As

Jamie declares allin.

Ming Lee sits for ever and eventually asks if he is allowed to show his hand.

(Paul Bracken leaves the table at this point)

Floor declares his hand isnt dead if he shows his cards as other player is allin and no others in the pot.

So... Ming lee turns over his 10 10.


Obviously hoping for some sort of read from Jamie - who incidentally has his head covered by a hoody and Dierdre Barlow styley sunglasses obscuring most of his face.

Minky says to Jamie - I know it's an easy fold to anyone but you.


However, something in Jamie's 5% of face that is visible must tell him otherwise and he folds his TT.

jamie doesn't show his cards or his face.

Paul Bracken returns to the table and Minky apologises to him if the decision took a long time. Paul says he didn't care how long he took, but he actually left the table as he thought it was bad etiquette to show his cards.

Blinds now 2000/4000 running ante 400.

Level 15 31 players left. Six to go for the money.

Great updates ty ty.

TY Won't pretend it's not hard work on a solo, but trying to catch as much as possible.

Any requests for info - shout out. Any look alikes, harsh observations or pure gossip on players also welcomed.

John Prested shoves 50k with QK after being 3 bet by Ben Jackson sat to his left.

good evening!

Yes TY for the updates.

Updates on Foxy and Trigg would be great please.

Well played Anna :(

Dave Johnson has just taken out Mike Hill, hitting a Q with his AQ. Mike had JJ, which was ahead until the river.


I tapped dave on the arm to get his attention, and he said "Ow" and looked like I'd really hurt him. He then said he couldnt tell me how many chips he had as he was counting them when I tapped his arm andnow he's lost count.

Ark Sinkiewicz  raised up ben jackson put him all preflop.

Ark had KK so chose to make the call.

Ben turns over 6h 9h

One heart on flop.

Ben asks for runner runner heart.

The dealer duly obliges him.

Ark was heard to mutter quite a few Polish phrases which don't come up straight away on Google translate, so I can't be sure, but I think it was Good Game.

Sigh, Dave is still in then.

LOL play nice now.


yeah they only played one hand H4H and it was all over.

Lost another player Ming Lee straight away, Mark Physick took his chips and now has 101K.

I get there on the turn, the river is an innocuous 7s and Dave Johnson checks to Trigg who bets 60K into what looks like a pot of about 120K +


Dave tanks so long he has to take off his cardigan to make a decision.

Eventually says to Trigg you could have any shit and makes the call with AK

Trigg mucks and throws David's cardigan on the floor and stomps on it.

I won't ask Dave how many chips he has yet as he's too busy dusting off his cardi.

scunny??

Barry Grime( local builder) dangerous, gl mate

Only thing happening  now is Tower air guitaring to Radio ga ga.


All play has slowed right down.

46 minutes left before we end for the day, Phil The Tower thinks it will be 13 players left.

I'm a woman and therefore never wrong so I'm not prepared to hazard a guess.

spelling mistake...scummy

I spoke too soon...


Richard Trigg OUT.

18th place taking home£2,620.

Dan Corbett 3 bet Trigg for the nth time so Trigg jammed with KQ, Dan had JJ which held.

jamie OConnor lost 132K with AJ vs Jeff Hemmerman's AK

Gerry Gough also busted, last online qualifier so at least he takes home £2620 plus a £1000 seat for another event of his choice.

Trevor Reardon busted, trying to find hand details. I'm brave but not brave enough to ask Trevor what happened straight aftet he busted.

15 players left... 34 minutes left today unless we lose another five players beforehand

First Blackpool GUKPT winner Paul Bracken and David Johnson, last year's winner are both sat side by side swapping "When I won the GUKPT " storys.

Mark Physick allin


Flop 3c Ks 2C Ah

Action on turn is Mark allin and Adrian Eley making the decision. He asks if Mark will show him if he folds, Mark says for sure.

Adrian looks at flop again and says he thinks his King is winning as Mark can't have the ace.

Asks him again will you show, mark says definitekly and says I'm ahead of your King.

Adrian thinks a bit longer and CALLS!

Adrian has KQ while Mark has Ac 9c - top pair and the flush draw!

River a brick and Mark cripples Adrian, putting himself back up to 280K.

Adrain gets AA very next hand, gets insta double up from Jeff Hemmerman who has KK.

Thoughts on shouting "COME ON FAT BOY" when your aces hold?  I'm assuming he was motivating himself rather than having a go at Jeff.

Dave Johnson just lost a Huuuge pot to Andy Peters.

Andy had aces.

I asked what Dave had and Andy said, he didn't show, then George pipes up - he had 5s.

Dave says yes but I was representing something else obviously.

So I asked him what was on the board:

"a straight, a flush, just everything okay!!"

So I think dave's point was Andy couldn't fold Aces despite him clearly representing the nutflutraighquad.

Two minutes to go before we stop play today.

Please go give Ben a wake up or a red bull or something, he has no flair. He looks ready for his bed!

Right last hand played now.

Fifteen players go through to Day three tomorrow

Chip counts to follow shortly

2pm start tomorrow

He was 18 years old five months ago.

I'm not sure he's used to staying up this late.



I'll make sure he goes straight back to his hotel now, promise.

Doh, duff info from my colleagues lol.


ONE MORE LEVEL.

send him to the Flagship pub, grab a granny night

lol

This is pretty harsh on Ellwood, never in doubt who wins here.

jamie Oconnor gets it in 5 5 against Barry Grime's Aces, Riverboy Mark passes tens.


Jamie catches the lucky river this time with a 5 to keep him in with about 350K now.

barry felted.

Mark would have caught a straight with his tens and took them both out, but of course, he made the right fold.

He's now chanting that mantra to himself.

"It was the right fold, it was it was"

Ty Trigg, and you Tim, but what do you mean "gaudy"? They're my best tights ever them.

I now know why so many players wear shades!! Lol

Bed time, ty for great updates CC, Having lunch with Robbie Savage tomorrow, so might be a long day tomorrow.

Is this a joke?

Adrian Eley allin on a 8 high flop.

Jeff Hemmerman thinking about making a call for some time.


Adrian turns to me and asks me to call him a clock.


Unfortunately I misheard and said something completely different.


So, anyway Jeff folds, Adrian shows QQ and your updater is on a ten minute penalty for swearing at the players.

Nope. Actually happened.

The next post about the clock was a joke however!

Twelve players left in, playing down to the end of this level in twenty minutes unless two players go out.

i just shoved utg at 2k/4k he just called. No 3bets involved :)

wots mark p on now c ty

Barry Grime GONE in 12th place with £3280.


Shoved with A6 into Mark Physick's 88, no ace and off he goes.

Sorry JP. Ben told me that, guess he was just trying to impress me with his 3betting skills.

haha no problem, great updates just wanted to contribute :)

Eleven players left, Blinds 5k 10K ante of 1K and 13 minutes ledft on this last level of the night.


I'm ready to live it up as soon as we finish, ordered an egg butty and a cup of tea. Doesn't get better  than that.

Mark Physick on 475. The lad is buzzing, his first GUKPT Main Event.

ben jackson up to nearly 600K.

Three players see the flop of 8 9 J

Ben leads out, one fold and one call from Mark Livesey, who checked in the dark pre flop.

Turn 9 check check.

River 6

Mark L leads out for 50K.

Ben tanks and tanks and makes the call with 10 10, it's good, Mark has AQ

Very last hand at Level 18 and we lose JEFF HEMMERMAN in 11th place who takes off with £3930.

Shoved with 33 called by Mark Physick with AK

Flops an ace, no turn or river shocks and Jeff leaves us with a final table for tomorrow.

Exactly as I predicted. (In my head)

WP david.
