434 began, 125 remain starting at 12pm today

This has been a fabulous tournament, with a turnout that I think exceeded all expectations

Payouts will be available later but the prize pool of £217,000 should lead to a first prize, sometime in the early hours of Monday morning, of over £70,000

The 125 remaining are

blinds will begin at 1500-3000

Expectation is this will take til Level 31 to reach a winner, about 19 levels play today.

A long slog awaits for players and updaters alike

The 8 handed final will be live streamed on www.dtdpoker.com with commentary from Simon Trumper and guests

As last month, this will be on a half an hour delay and I will break off the update to contemporise the updates with the pictures you are seeing later on, but we can deal with that later



For now..shout outs for your favourites please...pick me a finalist or two.....

Big Taff would love to see him go deep
I might come down for the 150 n rail him

Fully expect George to crush and make a really deep run.

James Keys is one to watch today also. 

Neil Giblin is also an excellent player and due a deep run in one of these.

Dark horse: Gerard Murphy. If he gets chips he'll be very dangerous and deserves a big score more than anyone I know imho.

Those are my tips for today.

Good Luck to Kenny, Ed, Lucky & Vinnie. All are genuinely good players (even Vinnie) one of you pleeease take it down!

Good Luck all!

Rich did you get that £20 of yalden?

Yes mate, thanks. Goes towards February

Gl George and Wadey + all other blondes

Good Luck to Alex Ferguson.

Gl Hicks, Ged, Mitch, Keith, Stato, Thigh, Wade, Bedi, Vindog, Keys and the rest.

45 paid a minimum of £750

1st prize is £61,587
2nd £36,005

Good luck to me and my early double up.

gogo Fitzpatrick ;cheerleader;

George, Linton and team streaker ( James and Keith would win if it was just on ability ) are vey strong And a couple of these will make the final. But every final always have a couple of fish who everyone thinks how the hell did this guy make it past level 3, but basically they just got lucky every hand so a couple of them should be thrown in. Running like ussain bolt today are my two fishy mates Wadey and Wigglesworth. Gl guys

#TeamBedi and #TeamGiblin going strong! We'll add #TeamJohnson and #TeamKeys

Gogogo

Gl to Tom high, andy hulme, mitch  all good lads and would be good to see 1 of them take this down. Also played some poker with tim chung and be good for him to get a deep run.

GOOD LUCK TO JOEY TOWNSEND AND BEN WINSOR !

#TEAMSPICERFARM

 will have the seat draw as soon as it goes online


for now, table 6..Rupert Bedi, Peter Lintanon, David Montague....all sat together

Hey Rich, that's not Ed, look for a baseball cap with a blue star

Donny Toffel moved in for 25,000 UTG, folded to the BB of Adam Ball who called with AQ, it held against the A3 of Toffel.

I'm doing well today. Maria did double up, Pena check shoved Q-9 not Q-6

Marvellous

Off to get some hands

Lost 110k pot to jack allen, AK v aj, then doubled up to 70 again v anon with KQ v QQ.

How is Beaulox pronounced ?
Com headline possibilitys .

Is it?

Two exits on table Bedi

David Montague knocks out Richard Haile, AQ v 33 on 5-7-10-5-10

Pete Linton and David Trigg get it all in, Linton 3 bet shoving the big blind over Trigg's open with J-J. Linton A-Q, flops a Queen to knock Trigg out

David Montague opens to 8,800

Tina Bandyle calls in the big blind

9-2-3 check check

turn J. Bandyle check calls 11,100

river Q

Bandyle checks, Montague jams, Bandyle calls all in to create a 200,000 pot with K-10 for the nuts

Montague 10-8 for the lower straight

It's pronounced as you would expect - "bollox", being the product of pre-adolescent humour.

Rather than take this splendid Update off-topic, I have replied further to this question on "Cultured & the Aftermath" here....

 http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=25486.new#new

new chip leader and the clash came on the table where you would expect it


David Montague opened the cut off

Rupinder Bedi 3 bet on the button

Peter Linton 4 bets the big blind

Montague 5 bet jams

Bedi folds

Linton calls

450,000 pot

Linton K-K

Montague......


......

2-4. Offsuit


2-J-A flop

A turn gives Montague outs


Q river sends the chip lead to Linton, and Montague has done the lot

Andy Hulme is out, Q-Q all in pre flop against big stacked Anon's 10-10

10 on the board knocks Andy out

Sure is Len

Not tilted at all...

This nonsense happens to him every deepstack! Unlucky.

Linton could win this easily, relentless player, dry humour (or sarcasm)which ever you prefer, but definitely a favourite esp when people are dumping 225k off with 2 4 os to him!!

going to try a few pics. It appears I have an auto focus failure. Google was not my friend, really


Anyway...on the adage that something is better than nothing...

Belated Christmas gift! Like Mr Linton needs any assistance! (that's a compliment btw before anyone thinks I'm being sarcastic!)

ed gascoigne has comfortably over 300,000 and is 2nd in chips to Linton


being railed by Dad, Ian, with one eye on ed's education being repaid

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-64E47gWc4jk/TwmZ23mt3pI/AAAAAAAAVbY/Ban9k7Bl_NM/s512/IMG_0130.JPG)

The Linton table has broken, much to the relief of everyone else on it

Linton with 500,000 at 2-4k. Ouch the rest of the field

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1CI3tIZSJnc/TwmZ46WnwnI/AAAAAAAAVbg/yvDVj84DeNk/s512/IMG_0132.JPG)

Shola Akindele won a big flip with A-K v 9-9 to double up over 100,000 this level

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vo9sohfgvIg/TwmZ8pa3w6I/AAAAAAAAVbs/ytLhZ6wlCDw/s512/IMG_0135.JPG)

Is this some super sick depth of field/depth in field rubdown?

ffs man. Hold one time.

+1

chip count for Ganesh Jayaraman  plz Rich  cheers
and good luck all

Iain Turner a big stack opens

Nick Hicks shoves 80,000 in the cut off

Ian Campbell shoves a but less, calling all in in the big blind

After some though Turner calls both creating a 240,000 pot

Turner Q-Q

Campbell K-K

Hicks A-A

Hicks looks at me, I look at him. We both fear the worst!

However the flop comes A-J-5 and Hicks trebles through

Further exits as we move under 80 left with 45 paid

120k in the middle already, and Tahir Ahmed all in.
Mitch Johnson shoves for 90k on 2-10-8-7-3, Woodruff tank folds.
Johnson shows K8, good against Ahmed's AQ.
Mitch up to 210,000

Wadey now in contention for the chip lead.
He tells us he had  Kc 7c, flop comes  Qc 2c 5c, Skipper bet out 50k, Wadey jammed thinking he was going to get a call but didn't.
I'd put him on half a mil, hard to tell based on how high he stacks his chips

With blinds of 3000-6000 and average 170,000 some of the the top stacks are

11    2    Waheed Ashraf 360,000
11    5    Rupinder Bedi 280,000

34    2    Mitchell Johnson 220,000
37    5       Peter Linton 520,000

On a K-9-9 board it was all action, Prassana got it in with K9 against the A9 of Alan Armitage, who found no help.
Armitage on about 60k, Prassana just short of 300k.

about 80k

How is Mr Giblin getting on please Tighty?

How is Mr. Steven Fitzpatrick doing please ? Picture would be nice ;)

Vinny Calenti 120,000.

He just owned James Keys with a display of pure flair.

Keys tried to nick Calenti's blind, Calenti 3 bet the big with Kings and Keys folded

About 180,000 so an average stack

i second this

Go on Wadey!!!

Millar shoved A-9, Maria found Q-Q

9-3-2-5-A was the run out

Bet the trophy engraver isn't rooting for  Prassanna Suryanarayanan lol

Apologies, system reads 6,000/12,000 when in fact it is 4,000/8,000 when we return.

Ed Gascoigne makes it 16k, Mario shoves for 100,000. James Howard shoves for 70,000, Ed folds.
Mario -  Qh Th
Howard -  Ahrt Qs
Board runs out  4h 2d 5c 8h 6h, giving Mario the flush eliminating Howard.

Maria's double up - 65.5k?

Any idea of how Ian Turner got to be a big Stack?

Is that Ian from Gala Leicester?! Wow pretty sick hes running deep in this if it is.

David Nesbit and Rupinder Bedi get 600,000 in pre. Bedi covers Nesbit

Nesbit Kings

Bedi....Aces


Aces hold, Bedi knocks Nesbit out, re-takes the chip lead with over 750,000

sorry, I'll keep an eye on him from here on in

James Keys had been mortally stack wounded when doubling celtic up

Shoves 80,000 in mid position with 2-2

Thomas Gill finds Q-Q on the button

Queens hold and Keys is on the rail

Ben Winsor made it 22k, Prassana called. Iain Campbell shoved for 68k, Winsor reshoved, Prassana folded.

Yes its him Mark, crazy he keeps going deep in these tourneys. No longer plays at Gala though. Won the last Grand prix aswel!

Linton's table breaks

Where does he move?

Table 11, seat 1

Table 11, seat 5..Mr Bedi

10% of the 13m chips in play in those two seats

Boo for Keys, yay for Bedi.

;applause; :cheers:

Can I have pics of the Johnson brothers. Keefus and Mitchell the absolutely massive little monson.

Hey Tighty, having fun?? 

when youve got the camera up un running may i have a pic of Georgey porgey please? tyvm :)

Bedi re-assumes the chip lead

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-P_HO2OZ2gQ8/TwmzkXi9jzI/AAAAAAAAVcY/xhdBLcDznTk/s512/IMG_3256.JPG)

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-jMeL0rzlmQo/Twm0EsJO99I/AAAAAAAAVcc/1R4Z73OoTd4/s512/IMG_3257.JPG)

Georges chip arrangment is one of the few things he could improve imo

Its a doubly rare shot, he's got chips.

Rob Ward shoved for his tourney life with just 8,000, Lee Blackburn isolates with 88, the rest fold
Blackburn with 88, Ward -  Th 7c
Andrew Wan is cheering on Blackburn - think he's keen for a mincash
88 holds.
Just 49 remain, 45 places paid

go vinny!

I bet Dave was mortally gutted. Shared a table with him yesterday and was suicidal when his aces were cracked by my Q6.

Go vinny, good luck. Can I pla know the chip count of prassanna

Ya, he cries about hands like that without ever being ungentlemanly.

Hand for Hand

46 left, 45 paid

47    Adam Daniel
48    Philip Campbell
49    Gary Orme
50    Robert Ward
51    Michael Annis
52    Stacy Coore
53    Christopher Murtagh


just missed out on at least £750

Adam Daniel just went out in 47th.
We are now hand for hand.

About 350,000. A broad smile and a cheeky grin too.

Such a shame! How's the young Raj Dhiri getting on please, Tighty?

About 180,000 so below average but plenty for this consistent player

Pic of the massive little monson pls Tighty.

Gtfo with pics of Maria's stack please, the fans want pics of Maria!

So I got lent a camera, for which I am incredibly grateful

Ian Gascogine lent me it, and it has 1,354 family snaps on that I have to upload to the software each time, being careful not to delete, each time I want to put a batch of snaps on the forum

Update tilt!

200k in the middle on a 10-3-8-10-6 board
Mitch johnson bets 115k. Shola Akindele tank calls.
Mitch has 10-9, Shola mucks.

lol

GL G2L and team eureka!

with Bedi two to the right


Bedi just raised A-Q, got called by Skipper in the big blind

Skipper open shoved about 3 times the pot on a flop of J-9-8

Bedi passed, Skipper flipped J-7 to the table with a flourish, redolent of a triumphant Caesar being carried back into Rome having captured Sparta and Gaul in the same campaign, and Bedi went into fits of hysterics.

Good luck vinny donks..

Got the train back last night sharing with returning Leicester fans, who apparently hate Notts Forrest which they screamed for the first half an hour of the journey whilst kicking the train in rhythm . Thought my day couldn't get any worse. Now I know what Tighty does on away trips :)

Samir Khan is our bubble boy, unfortunately I completely missed the hand whilst covering action from Ed Gascoigne.
All players are now Guaranteed £750.
We are on a 15 minute break as we race off the 100 chips.
Blinds at 6,000/12,000/1,000 when we return, average 288k.

Towsend was knocked out by Andrew Peters, Towsend raised A-9 off in the cut off with the Ace of hearts

Peters called in the small blind with Q-J

Flop 10-9-K all hearts, it all went in flopped straight versus nut flush draw/pair

Adam Picken is a blonde, rgrabrc or something stupid on here.

An interesting "Wan" (a har har)
Fitzpatrick makes it 25k, Wan calls.
Prassana Suryanarayanan Shoves for 160k.
Fitz folds, Wan tank calls for about 70% of his stack
Prassana -  Ac Qh
Wan -  Kc  Ts
Wan explains he had to call, flop comes 10 high sending Prassana to the rail.
Wan a regular £20 MTT player, never really seen him play anything above this. Seems to be plenty of love for him around the room.

Can you stroke Ed Overall for me please Tighty. He will understand if you tell him its from me.

Can you also ask Giblin what percetage of him I have?

Sean Byrne shoves 219,000 at 6-12k in second position. As you do

Skipper -  Kd Kh
Peters -  6s 6d

225k in the middle on a J-2-3 flop.
Mark James only had 70k behind, Maurice Nicholson put him all in with AJ, James called with 77 and found no help.

Was on this lads table all day yesterday, has a good game..GL to him.

Turner Stack?

Rupinder Bedi the first stack over 1,000,000. 13 million chips in play

Showing relentless aggression. Watched an orbit or two and he's raising a lot, even getting rueful Linton sighs from across the table


----------------

Ed Gascoigne over 800,000 second in chips

--------------------


Iain Turner about 300,000. He's on the next table to break with Jakally and Shola. The only big stack on there is Lee Blackburn

Darren Fuller opens to 25,500

Tina Bandyle flats on the button

Glenn Storey 72,000 in the small blind

Fuller folds

Bandyle shoves for 87,000 more

Storey a long, agonised and pretty relauctant fold


------------------


Greek Jack opens to 35,000

Vince Calenti calls in the small blind

Mitch Johnson makes it 92,000 in the big blind

Jack 4 bet shove for 200,000 more

Shortstacked Raj Dhiri shoves 3-3 in the hijack

Anon calls A-10dd on the button

Kenny Prazer with 91,000 finds Aces in the small blind, shoves, called by Anon

Aces treble up Prazer to over 270,000 and spells the end of Dhiri

ABBS (anybody but skipper?)

he does get Kings A LOT!

Peter Wigglesworth shoved for 88,000, Bedi makes the call.
Wigglesworth -  Aspades 8h
Bedi -  Qh Jh
 Kh 3d 7h Js Ts does it for Bedi, putting him on about 1.2million.

Skipper with about 400,000 back folds

Wadey flips  4d 4h

Wan makes it 32,000.
Ed Gascoigne to 76,000.
Wan shoves for 420k.
Gascoigne changes the conversation to how Wan came about to play in this tournament, Wan explains he made 4 Final Table in £20 MTT's to win a seat through our Final Table Challenge.
Gascoigne then folds.
Bit of speech play I think.

As we move to Level 21 10-20k

Darren Fuller open shoves 190,000

Neil Giblin re-shoves

Fuller A-10o

Giblin A-Kdd

3-6-5-Q-8

Giblin knocks Fuller out and goes over 600,000

When he moved tables two levels ago he was on under 5xbb. Nice time to get a heater....

Bit of nice marketing I think  ;)

;karabiner;

Bedi made it 32k preflop, Skipper flatted.
Flop is 9-Q-6, check/check.
Turn - J, Skipper - 41,000, Bedi to 88k, Skipper calls.
River - 4, Skipper shoves for 140k, Bedi snapcalls with K10 for the nuts, Skipper mucks and is now on the rail.

Vince Caltenti opens A-5 in the cut off

A by now short-stacked Mitch Johnson shoves K-9 on the button and Calenti calls

5-6-Q-4-4 knocks Mitch out in 29th

Bandyle  Ac Qs

Henry  Aspades Ts

 8d 7s 2h 6d 9s

Tina Bandyle out a very unlucky 28th

Wan informs us he had J10, Gascoigne folded AQ.
Wan says he was the one making the speech play to make it look like he had a tight range

For those who missed it - Wan won a seat into this for FREE through our Final Table Challenge last month, which is in fact running again this month

Just sayin...

Buckle in and enjoy the ride



Ed Gascoigne playing 525,000 opens to 50,000. Wadey, Kenny Prazer and Shola call on button and in the blinds

 7h 3d Jh

Checked to Ed who open shoves 475,000 into 260,000 or so

Wadey thinks for ages playing about 700,000

and CALLS

the blinds fold

Ed is at it, and then some, with  Ahrt 5s

Wadey has made an excellent call with  Kc Jc

Disaster for Wadey on the  Ad turn

Salvation for Wadey as he cavorts away from table, fist clenched when the  Ks hits the river to knock out Gascoigne and take Wadey over 1.3m chips

While I was writing I gather that Liverpool dealer (cards) Steve Fitzpatrick has doubled to 500,000 through George Bedi

LOL

About 250,000. Going to have to get funky soon at these blinds

Down to 900,000 as the hand starts Rupinder Bedi makes it 50,000 with 5-5 UTG+1

Folded to Nathan Henry in the small blind

He shoves for 365,000 total

Rupinder think-calls and is facing  Ac Ts

 Js 3c Kh Th

Rupinder bangs the table in frustration

 Td on the river

Bedi down to about 550,000

69 guests watching. Sign up to blonde for free to cheer on your fav player or poke fun at the guy who took you out  ;bumwiggle; ;bumwiggle;

He opens A-A

Adam Picken 3 bets A-Q

Bedi shoves

Picken CALLS

Aces hold and Bedi is back to 1.2m

Sigh. Pretty sure Wadey was about to chin me when the ace hit the turn!

they can't mate. I stopped sign ups for the day due to the high incidence of tossers yesterday

Would rather not waste time and get as much written as possible

Lol get more aces bro

Maria Demetriou shoves 130,000 and Adam Picken calls in the small blind

Demetriou A-K

Picken 2-2

King on the flop and Maria is up to 260,000

Fantastic battling performance from Grantham's finest.

Room for seven more inductees into the 12 Lutoners of Xmas (extended into Juuuuuune) yet Mr No.2 Troll sir. The Three Fresh Lens already smashing it up in the new year as predicted, yep.

having said that if he does a recovery job mrs peejaytwo will be breaking the speedlimit so i can rail the final table.

Fitzpatrick makes it 60k.
Storey shoves for 340k with A3.
Call from Fitzpatrick with Q10.
Ace high is good, that is until the 10 on the river eliminating Storey.

Adam Picken up over 300,000. One double up and a succession of winning the blinds with shoves

Maria Demetriou nearly 300,000. 3 bet shoved over a Fitzpatrick button raise, got it through

Apologies, I thought we had lost Winsor but we hadn't - but now we have.
200k in the middle, board is  Jd 5d 6d 6h
Winsor checks, Wadey makes it 125k. Winsor shoves for 365k. Wadey tank calls, and sees the good news.
Wadey -  7d 7h

Very good updates, looking forward to some Tall action!

Massive +1

Very best of luck to Vinny and George.

ok so I will tell you when the final starts, then set your watches for t+30 for when the stream will start

Someone can be helpful please and post the link for everyone, please

Then, no spoilers, and I will try to time the content on here for just after you have seen it on the screen

I have bought a stopwatch from JJB Sports especially.

Nothing if not professional.

Abso amazing how often Dtd regs are the majority of these final tables. Soft spot for Greek jack, Shola and Frank but sticking with my original mixture of talent and luckboxes , Plinton Wadey and Nick.

Edit: gl Andrew n Maurice too

 ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

for your updates and your what's the word- endurance? longevity? persistence? effort? just being able to do it for so long?

Stream will begin at 10.19pm. See you then

http://www.dusktilldawnpokerclub.com/news.php?id=2184

great work as usual Tighty. Manage to post about 20 times the updates that the WPT team do plus banning a bunch of morons and posting on other random threads also wpwp.

I think it just goes to show the class of these regs and how much experience plays in a quality tournament like this.

thank you. I am the Captain Scott of the poker world. I know I won't reach the Pole first, but I won't give up tying lolol

Anyone else you wanna brownnose? I think we should also say good luck to the dealers jas? Show some commitment...


Take it down Wadey, just to prove it is a game of total luck!!

thanks

No point doing it if you are going to post one update an hour is there? Oh, wait

Well you've gone out, and I fear you may be some time on this final table.

seat 4 Frank Flanagan

I remember this reg,  was on the final of the super 50, and the younger players were mocking him as an old timer.. rock etc and his raise sizes. then he pulled out a lovely 4 bet bluff, great table image.   decent player.

but yer GL Wadey, heroooooooo

Lol you know my fav mate. Just a super final table

Good luck all.

Really enjoyed the comp - huge congratulations to dtd, Simon and Rob on an incredibly successful (and hard earned) 'leap of faith'.

Long may the 200k prize pools continue!

Oh, and a huge nod of appreciation to Sir Tightness also.

no stream?


marv

Yeah seams like he's adapted his bet sizing now, hard to read.  I remember thinking whilst we shared a table - just cos he is old, has white hair and a beard does not a nit make!

Had the grind of my life today, even down to half a blind at one point and hardly ever got above 10 bigs most of the day.  A bit proud of myself actually cos its so easy to NOT grind and shove it in.  Gutted in the end that it ended in 19th and into Aces but I had fun and enjoyed sharing a table with Steve the scouser - nice lad.

Gl to half the players still left.

Go for it Tighty, live steams a pile a poo, we know 2's gone because DTD are still exiting players.

mine just started a 15 min count down

LOL whoops. Stream still not up

I will give the first two exits in two minutes. If you don't want to see it, avoid this page of the thread. Seems a reasonable compromise

On the stream, the countdown reached zero, thenlift off did not happen. Assorted IT peeps trying to fix that now

Live Updates, good old reliable live updates, huh!

In 8th Nick Hicks took 5-5 against Andrew Wan's K-J

Andrew flopped a Jack

Nick left winning £3,790 

Pete Linton raised A-Q

Greek Jack shoved 8-8

Linton called

K-J-7-7-Q

Big pot, can't get close enough to see stack sizes but you can tell me when you see it

Greek Jack out 7th winning £4,737

As of this moment there are six left

One crucial pot swung the tournament a certain way

No idea if I should post it or not.


Will give the stream a few more minutes to get running, I would rather not spoil your enjoyment of that

We will know in 120 secs from now!!!!

we got streammmmmmmmmmmmmm

stream up and working for me now :)

Oh goodie, I can report the end of the tournament an hour after it finishes

u can report the hand tighty they've started 6 handed and wadey has the world!

lol ok thanks

Linton, who was chip leader after taking out Greek Jack...raised to 160,000

Wadey 3 bet to 375,000

Linton 4 bet shoved setting Wadey in

CALL

Wadey K-K

Linton A-10o

9-9-5-Q-2

Wadey over 4 million chips

I can't see the feed, audio only.

Now some background to this

I have no idea what relations are between Wadey and Pete normally

but Linton was told before the final that wadey had told the cash players on the top tier that he would take Linton's stack, some sort of payback for a recent tournament episode, it would be war etc etc, he wouldn't take any bullying etc etc

One of the players told Linton that Wadey was gunning for him

Linton told me


Now watch.....

Gowan the Lintanon

Please post big hands or chip counts

No idea what you are watching or when!


What a life, what a life I lead.

Wadey also backed Pete for a while.

Just had a hand where the old guy has c/r all in vs the black guy on an 8 high board. We're one hand after that when it was Wan v Linton blind on blind, which as I type has just finished.

You'll have to forgive me for lolling Rich.

Now an all in blind v blind. Shola's just knocked out Nicholson.

Shola just ko'd Maurice N but we/I didn't see the flop on the feed.

Poor bloggage reporting. Fancy the next wpt gig?

thank you

So Nicholson shoves Q-8

Shola calls with A-3

Ace on the flop

Maurice Nicholson out 6th winning £6,632

If you're willing to pay me to report a hand an hour, I'll most definitely oblige.

When am I going to see you at one of these final tables Mr Herbert? Think I'd most enjoy that.

wow flanagen on the ft!

Shola... heroooo

In the words of marvin
(http://troll.me/images/marvin/whats-going-on-no-seriously-whats-goin-on.jpg)

Five handed, no idea of the chip counts, or what happens next. I think they go on a break


Happy to help


(http://www.va.gov/health/images/guidedog.jpg)

you would be in the minority I'm sure. Will try harder next month tho

still 5 handed?

what are you watching please?

Feeling pretty bad for Tighty. Surely they should let you in the booth too and see it real time so you can make notes fpr half an hours time?  Or is it commentated on after the 30 min delay?

Still 5-handed Wan just squeezed allin with KJ and got it through, Flanagan insta-mucked 66

It is commentated live (Rob and cambridgealex I believe?)

the problem is that seeing it is blocked in the building, so I am dark


I have requested access to the stream for the future, otherwise I might as well go home when the final starts

Are they going to keep this £500 buy in on a regular basis now? Im sure I heard someone mutter that in the club at some point.

23:27 Shola calls Wan's shove if that helps your timings.

Shola knocked out when Wan shoves AJss button. She calls AQ. J on flop.

UL shola

OK so any minute Wan and Akindele get it all in pre

Wan A-J

Akindele A-Q

K-J-7-K-6

Shola Akindele out 5th winning £8,587

No real reason but from what I read really hoping for a certain rags to richez hero to TID.

#WANTIME

OK thanks I have my timings now

Lets do this

Who is going to win this?

Wait i've logged on to hear conductor Tighty's literary rendition of final table composition in C major. But seems random musicians are just blowing and rattling different instruments at will.

Wan would be a pretty sik story. Seemed like a really nice guy too. Wadey or Plinton too obv

Is there a good story here George?

Break

Plays 20 quid comps at dtd. Only in the 500 as he made 4 finals as part of final table challenge

Same tourney next month.

I recognise Wan now I watch the stream - he's quite good. As described, a £20 comp reg, who sometimes plays a Super 50.

For those that don't know Wan won his way into this by hitting four final tables at DTD in the Final Table challenge in sub £20 comps

Its his first comp of this buy in

He thinks he is destined to win, if only because I promised him at celtic's urging I would use the headline "Wan King at DTD" if he wins, on news sites, twitter etc


I hope he finishes 2nd

I wonder if he did really have j10 when he 4b jammed on me as he told Jonathan.

I feel so pwned/violated if true...

Oh, and +1 to this whenever I've played with him, too.

What about Wanderful result at DTD
Wan Winner at DTD

or
(in memory of a costa rican legend if a deal is done)

Wan-chop score at DTD. I could go on!

Thanks for all the support. Always means alot.  :)

Good luck to Pete and Wadey. Great to see so many DTD regs go deep.

Alex doing a fantastic job with the Mic - this is the way forward

I won't divulge names but one DTD player has driven over 50 miles to be here tonight for if Wadey wins

He's not the only one, it really it quite a sight.....


(http://www.innovationsinnewspapers.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/3001384900_3a6b922657_b.jpg)

BS. Someone had J2 and he didn't berate them for folding

thats a nice queue good to see some token chinese guys there!

Flanagan bets flop, checks turn and all in on the river on K-10-K-4-2 versus Linton


Comments? the hands?

Flanagan KQhh, Linton T6

Linton all in 1.6m

Wadey calls after a long dwell

Linton 5-5

Wadey K-J

6-2-6-K-A


Peter Linton out 4th winning £15,160

lol...frankie in the room

brilliant, what a legend

It's a shame the flops have to be called by the commentators.

wadey had to call right?

12 bb?

i know its a huge chunk of money involved

Flanagan standard old guy. Bets when he has it, checks/folds when he doesn't.

Its pretty close

I thought so. He's been shoving pretty wide and with 12bbs he's shoving so much worse.

Don't know why Rob was insisting it was a frustration call.

Big pot between Wadey and FlanagaN

Wadey raises to 250,000

Flanagan calls

k-q-3

flanagan open shoves 3.3m

Wadey asks for a count

CALL

Flanagan K-J

Wadey K-9

Huge double up for Flanagan

That's a really, really horrible call.

100% our 3 finalists have no idea what ICM is.....and good for them :)

worse shove imo.

No doubt, but it's the standard old guy shove. See it a million times. It's super frustrating to flop top pair there and see a guy shove 4x the pot, but it's still an easy fold.

Wadey in trouble 2m plays Wan 3m plays Flanagan 7m at 60-120k

Wadey all in 2m

Wan winner here!

Probably chopping it i bet?

lets not go there again. its fine imo

Awesome work once more Tightypants, am calling it a night here, but I can not say how overjoyed for Mr Wan I am. Met him in dtd a few times and he's always smiling, top story of 4 FT's in the 15's as well. Nice score for the lad. Wp sir!

Nice score for wan from a freeroll and great publicity for dtd

Warning

We might need these.

I'm not listening to the commentary, as I am just catching up with it all from today, but it was poor when i was watching and listening to the FT of the MC last month.

It's fair to say that Simon isn't the most clued up about talking poker! hehe.

WP everyone.

Hi Tighty, Gr8 updates yet agen. WP Frank & Andy couldnt happen to 2 nicer guys ;0)

Its not Simon commentating. Its Alex and Rob lol

I know this they're both inexperienced but this is the weirdest heads up I've ever seen

First big Heads Up confrontation sees a big swing to wan 89 v 55 10-8-9-8-9 all in pre

Wow. Wan time! £8k 30 bigs each flips with those hands?!?!

Alex is wrong on commentry. Think Flanaghan just open jammed and wan alled with 89cc?

Flanagan Q2 jams and Wan calls Q-J

2 on the turn doubles Flanagan up



FMEL.

Cmon tighty. We're on for that 5am finish

I thought so, Flanagan shoved, Wan took a shot

amazing first post. you're dissing a commentator who isn't doing the commentary which you're not listening to  :dontask:

No spoilers, Nicola DTD spoilt it for me :(

It is pretty weird that DTD announce the result on social media and update their results service before the stream ends

Lol. Yes wp Nicholarse.   :)

which of course means we are done within the next 15 minutes...



Hang in there...

She will get her legs smacked. I'm volunteering

go on guess the winning hand

anyone gets it they get to update the final next month, blindfold

Its rediculous they make you wait then they do that? How rediculous

Flanagan shoves 4.9m with J-9

Wan calls with Q-2.

6-5-4-3


Frank Flanagan finishes 2nd winning £45,000

A freeroll to £54,000
