Plenty of people to cheer on then, shout outs for your favourites please!


Payouts and seat draw closer to the start.



The main roads are all fine, the side roads are treacherous, but everyone should get here fine.

A reminder that the final will be live streamed, now with only a 15 minute delay, on www.dtdpoker.com

These updates will coincide in so far as it is poissible with the action you are watching on your screens

If I am called in to commentate (this was being threatened yesterday, unlucky everyone!) then I'll need you all to post up big hands and exits please!

Thread should be renamed 'Funk for Tikay'


 'approximately' 82? Based on the fact that some may not get here for Day2 I guess?

based on the fact the site won't be updated with a seat draw for a few hours, and usually a couple of late exits aren't recorded overnight

gl toddest of swains, mitch johnson, nick hicks, paul donaghey for the luls and lukest of fields.


Goggogooggo tikay too.

GL to the winner.

GL toTikay & Dan Ward :)

John Pez and my bitch Mitch please :)

I might get out of bed and turn up next month if Tikay can make day 2 it must be soft.

good luck to my mucca cam law today, take it down !!!!!! :)

glgl Tikay and Ryan ;cheerleader;

Gl to Dan Ward
Plus all other blondes

Good luck to all the blondes but especially Tikay and Tim Blake!!!

First exit of the day.
Tim Flanders gets it in with Ac Jc to find himself in trouble against the Qh Qd of Andy Helm.
Queens hold, Flanders out.

Todd Swain. In good news for him, presumably the snow will mean his school bus will be cancelled tomorrow and he'll have to stay home

too many to say GL to you but special shout outs to Dan Ward and Anthony Kendall.

Good luck to all Blondes, Tim Blake ftw though!

Tim Blake opens to 8000 at 1500-3000

Ali Mallu flats on the button

Luke Fields makes it 20,000 in the small blind with 33,000 behind, with  Aspades Qh

Blake passes

Mallu sets Fields in with  Kc Qc

Fields calls

Ahrt Kh Ts 3h Ks

Mallu knocks out Fields, who heads back to Leeds in time for the Sundays....

DTD regular Stephen Lovatt now out.
He shoved with Ks Kh for 40k, Adrian Reynolds called with 9c 9d who managed to spike the 9, leaving Stephen with pennies, getting eliminated the following hand.

Pete Haslam doubles up in successive hands, first 66 v Jamie Hurt's KJ then QQ v A4, to move above an average stack

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pSIS52bz3Fg/Ty6Cof3_GuI/AAAAAAAAVs8/6HLxwEUwsp4/s640/DSCN4110.JPG)

the first table breaks, and Adebayo now finds himself next to Tony Poole. Two big stacks. One big voice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David-Alexandre_Beauregard


On Friday David is going quite well, but he asks not to be reported as the Panthers have a game on Sunday, which he would have to miss if he made day 2, or miss the day 2. A decision to be made....


Well come this morning, the Panthers trip to Edinburgh is cancelled due to road conditions (touch ironic for Ice hockey) so here he is

Fated to win?

Deborah Rawson jams for 40k with Jd Jh , Sunil Mistri wakes up in the big blind with As Qs and calls.
Ace on the river, Rawson out.

Phlegmatic veteran Peter the bandit mistakes me for a valet. Eyesight must be going

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-73lNYeFYQeA/Ty6CpKfdIbI/AAAAAAAAVtE/-OVJfZzyWKc/s640/DSCN4112.JPG)

Cam Law, for bigtadger.

Overnight chip leader Matthew May

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FLgXQCdGAuo/Ty6CrD8IP7I/AAAAAAAAVtk/I-JVYBqEG3g/s640/DSCN4116.JPG)

Ran jj into kk vs same guy who shoved on me the hand before. Down to 40k

Raefe Tucker called a button raise from paul Romain with  6c 5c and check called on the  5d 7c 8c flop

He liked the 9c turn a touch, but couldn't get Romain to commit any more chips....

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Hz7CwFX5lsE/Ty6CqlS9siI/AAAAAAAAVtc/ZA_bM0ZJoc4/s640/DSCN4115.JPG)

From the cut off David Lloyd shoves for 45k with Ks 9c . However Ryan Spittles wakes up with Qc Qd and scoops it all.
Just 71 players remain.

Mistri eliminates another, this time Stuart Fox.
Solid opening level for Sunil.

blinds up, to 2000-4000

Average 130,000

We have lost 16 players in the first level as follows

Scott Eustasce limps the button unopened pot

Tom High sees his chance to scoop an easy pot and shoves an under average stack from the small blind

Eustace though, calls. What are the chances, huh?

Eustace 7-7

High Q-3dd

2-K-7-2-2 and Tom High is out

hat wars at DTD

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dkMFgyOE5Yg/Ty6HjQASbeI/AAAAAAAAVuU/WlkiCa2Fwgo/s640/DSCN4122.JPG)

Ali Mallu is chip leader with approaching 400,000

He's never ever cashed at DTD. Useless poker fact for you.

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1kpqYjMY2LQ/Ty6HiAVaGFI/AAAAAAAAVuA/t2DOdvcam_U/s640/DSCN4119.JPG)

Music promoter Tony Millan with c300,000

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e1H0vN6M8Sc/Ty6HiqCmqmI/AAAAAAAAVuI/GPxUcSFwl_I/s640/DSCN4120.JPG)

John Perrin 90,000

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TCrHWziBD5s/Ty6HhlzaLtI/AAAAAAAAVt0/ZnGuVsKnanw/s640/DSCN4118.JPG)

Nicest Nick in poker. Mr Hicks bides his time, while no doubt contemplating helping little old ladies across the road in the snow when he leaves later

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Iw5z-iL-FZ8/Ty6Hf52EE7I/AAAAAAAAVts/x2rhtJz5A0k/s640/DSCN4117.JPG)

Doig Rudling. Welsh. Its a blondepoker top though, so we'll forgive him that for today

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JLzJ9bU4axs/Ty6Hi2L-s6I/AAAAAAAAVuQ/jrvjVBlzMeo/s640/DSCN4121.JPG)

This is no joke, but tikay appears to be the most active player at his table. When I saw his initial seat draw, I must say I thought it was fantastic. Local tight players, mainly

Sadly tikay lacks the ability to do anything about it, has lost 4 of the 5 pots he has played to day and is down to 60,000 at 2000-4000.

Alli continuing the serge after yesterday telling us that he's due.
Mallu limped, and Rizwan Khan shipped for 50k - everytime I've walked past the table hes been all in.
Folds round to Mallu who calls with Jh Js having set the trap, just to be flipping against the Ks Qs of Khan.
No help for Khan, shipping Mallu a 100k pot.

Siggghhh busto. Flatted aces pre, let BB in who flopped bottom 2 on 23T, got it in on flop, turn T, (wiiiii) river 3 (boooo)

GL heroes left in.

er, tikay is OUT

The button playing 35,000 jammed unopened. tikay knows what his range is here, he is an analyst after all. It's any two, right?

tikay has 8-8. he shoves

The button has K-K

tikay asks for a ruling, asking the floor how he can have Kings there?


Leaves tikay with 27,000

Next hand in the small blind. Raiser makes it 19,000

tikay shoves with 10-10

Raiser has A-Q and rivers the overcard


Hard luck.

a 300k pot - this again Mallu involved.
Tim Blake raised, Mallu made a huge 3bet, Blake shipped and Mallu called.
Mallu - Js Jh .
Blake - As Qs .
Queen first card out leaving mallu dazed, Blake on about 300k.

Greg Garrett eliminates Mario, AK vs AJ, Mario with few chips and eliminated.

Tim texted 160 k two mins later 350k weeeee

Caicau Huang ships for her last 12k.
Prassanna Suryanarayan makes it 40k, playing 70k.
Lee Dixon jams, covering Prassanna who calls.
Huang - 8d 8h .
Prassanna - Qc Qd .
Dixon - Jd Jc .
Queens hold, more than doubling Prassanna, Dixon on about 40k.

A few more double ups

Todd Swain shoves 40,000 with Q-J, called by A-Q, J on turn, J on river

John Perrin doubles through Tony Poole, A-3 v K-K. Ace in the door

Alistair Carins doubles throuh Umar Khan. A big shove UTG from Carins for 70,000. Khan next to act iso's with 10-10, is against K-Q. King turn, King river


Tim Blake now tells me he is "dangerous. Mainly to myself" now he has 350,000

The £15,000 GTD £150 has just begun with 36 runners. Almost certian overlay if you are close enough and want to paly

Adebayo now out after losing his entire stack to Ant Poole.
Adebayo makes it 9k, Poole to 22k, Adebayo to 62k, Poole tank calls.
Flop - Jc 8d 6s . Adebayo checks, Poole jams for 100k, covering Adebayo who calls.
Poole with Qd Qc , Adebayo with Ahrt 6s .
Queen on the turn ends it for Adebayo, Poole on about 500k, if not more.

I'd say Poole closer to the 600k mark

Simon announces as Rob is asleep, we will not drop the £15k Guarantee for the Incredible £150 - saying "lets see how much of an overlay we will get".
46 entries so far, 100 needed for the guarantee.

Tim Blake now tells me he is "dangerous. Mainly to myself" now he has 350,000

He will probably get excited and pass some wee at some point so watch him

Pete Haslam raises and Umar Khan flats on the small blind

 3s 4h Qh

Khan check raises an 8,000 c-bet to 24,000

Haslam calls

 2d turn

Khan 55,000

Haslam all in

Instant call

Khan  Aspades Qs

Haslam  Qd Qc


Haslam moves over 400,000...the biggest upward move of the day with now three double ups

Khan out.

exits in level 14

57 now left at 3000-6000

Average 163,000

27 paid

Peter Haslam must be loving life at the moment, having come in to Day 2 as one of the shortest stacks.
He eliminates Umar Khan having flopped top set for a pot of about 150k.
Next hand he takes 60k off Ryan Spittles. Now on over 300k.

Hi tighty, how is my mate charnjit (joey) johal doing? is he still in and good luck to all the blondes :)up

is cam law heading in the right direction please , he only started the day with 55k or so i think, hows it going for him please ?

Todd Swain goes over 120,000

Short-stacked shove in the cut off with A-Q

Todd in the big blind calls with A-10

7-10-8-10-2 delivers the outdraw

Up to 90,000...so has 15x bb at 3-6k

Michael Richardson short-stacked shove with A-6

Adam Daniel, all scowls and furrowed brows, dwell flats on the button

Peter Evans sees an opportunity and shoves A-9 in the blinds

Daniel calls

Knocks both out on 5-J-J-5-5

"What are they doing man? Are they mad?" he exclaims whilst pumping a fist, clicking his fingers and generally getting overexcited.

He has over 400,000 and a lock to go deep in this.

Just over 100,000 is the latest count

what did daniel have?

Btw, flatted as in called a raise.... Tikay just wandered over n said 'why the hell did you limp in!?' lol

enjoying the updates Rich ty

Gooooooo Ryan Spittles pls

Got about 230k. Running decent to say the least

Any news on table Blake / mallu ?

As easy as that, Ceri Rees wins a load putting him on well above average.
He jams with [8D][8C], called by the [7C][7D] of Paul Donaghey, 8's hold leaving Donaghey with about 35k.
Next hand Donaghey shoves with [KD][QH], just to come off the worse to Ceri's [AD][QD], Donaghey out, 52 remaining.

A-K, board 5-7-J-5-4 not 5-J-J-5-5. Reading my own writing issues

Adam Daniel about 400,000

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GF_4l53R_aM/Ty6WIcuoDOI/AAAAAAAAVuk/Bj4qqR_oLcc/s640/DSCN4123.JPG)

Scott Eustace about 230,000

come on cam, trying really bad to make the money, thats step 1 , hes in for just £20 online friday night, step 2 push on and win !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Kane Thomason shoves for 53k. De Sousa now reshoves for 90k. Jeremy Brown jams, covering both players.
Thomason - As 4c .
De Sousa - Ad Ts .
Brown - Qc Qd .
Hold me baby, shouts Brown and does indeed hold, knocking both players out.

Best table in the room is


Barry Neville seat 1 170,000

Tim Blake seat 2 360,000

Ryan Spittles seat 3 200,000

Ali Mallu seat 4 300,000

Darren Jarvis seat 5 120,000

Mark Wagstaff seat 6 240,000

Paul Romain seat 7 180,000

Lee Dixon seat 8 200,000

Poor Jarvis must feel like he is being slapped around the face with a wet Dover sole. Open spots for him to shove/seek that double up are few and far between

Largely because Mallu gets into pots before him....

47 left

Top 5 chip leaders are


Tony Poole 620,000

Adam Daniel 400,000

Peter Haslam 400,000

Tim  Blake 360,000

Matthew May 350,000


blinds go 4000-8000 after a break in 5 minutes

average is 186,000

Thats not joey unless im stevie wonder lol

Dan Ward update?

Gl to Ryan spittles aka scotty 77

Out in the last level

Jo Jackson shoved for 50k with Ad 7c called by the Jc Js of Basharat Mahmood.
Jacks hold, Jackson out.

Go Hicks! How is he doing?

I photographed the name in the seat according to the website as follows

21 9 Chanjit Johal

Can I pls get an update on prassanna

1. He's got a long name

2. About 250,000

3 A ready smile and a cheeky grin, he models himself on you British Gas

Nice update

and here he is

11    6    Darren Jarvis
11    7    Mark Wagstaff
11    8    Paul Romain
11    9    Lee Dixon

A very active table with Mallu in most spots but not having it his own way. Ryan SPittles has a tough spot OOP to Mallu and is losing ground to under 160,000 currently


12    1    Anonymous
12    3    Todd Swain
12    4    Martin Lawton
12    5    Peter Wilkerson
12    6    Nick Hicks
12    7    Jordan Williams
12    8    Peter Haslam
12    9    Faramarz Mirfakhrai

Todd Swain is swinging and fighting for the young guns on this steady and conservative table. Haslam and Hiocks have chips, and unlikely to make too many mistakes, both experienced and talented players

13    1    Basharat Mahmood
13    2    Michele Parrillo
13    3    Adam Daniel
13    4    Alistair Carins
13    5    Ganesh Jayaraman
13    6    Cam Law
13    9    Raefe Tucker

Daniel is table captain, the rest are under average stacks and not really standing in the way



14    1    Adrian Reynolds
14    2    Gregory Garrett
14    5    Jeremy Brown
14    6    Stuart Fox
14    7    Sunil Mistri
14    8    Ceri Rees
14    9    Matthew May

May has been quieter today whereas Sunny Mistri has more than doubled up in the first three levels.

21    1    Gurdev (tony) Millan
21    2    Jeffrey Hemmerman
21    4    Andy Helm
21    5    Iain Campbell
21    6    Tonino Montesanti
21    7    Nicholas Crisp
21    8    Shirley Lacey
21    9    Chanjit Johal

Tony Millan and Jeff Hemmerman is the active corer of the table. both 300,000+


22    2    Graham Parkin
22    3    Doig Rudling
22    4    Derek Collinson
22    5    Anthony Poole
22    6    Glen Storey
22    7    Prassanna Suryanarayanan
22    8    John Perrin
22    9    Scott Eustace

Poole is primarily battling with Storey and Scott Eustace. The three biggest stacks at the table

If Poole clings onto 600,000 long enough it will be the greatest achievement of his poker career. Normally he's donked them off long before this to get into the biggest cash game he can find

11    1    Barry Neville
11    2    Tim Blake
11    3    Ryan Spittles
11    4    Alli Mallu
11    6    Darren Jarvis

One time Sbotty

Tim Blake raises to 23,000

Lee Dixon all in big blind 120,000

Blake calls with 9-9 but is met by J-J and Dixon doubles up

Neville opens to 21,000

Mallu 3 bet to 100,000 in the cut off

Eustace looks to have a real decision on the button, folds with a grimace

Neville folds

Mallu shows J-J

Eustace hands to head, says he folded Q-Q

It's interesting, average stack is 25x bb, we are 17 places off the bubble and play has noticeably slowed already. Tighter, more painstaking

can you plz get me a chip count on Ganesh Jayaraman
ty

Just call me nostradamus

Barry Neville open shoves the small blind, into Tim Blake

Blake calls all in with 9-9, Neville has to show 10-4

Blake doubles back up to 300,000...leaves Neville very short



Lee Dixon opens, Ali Mallu 3 bet shoves, setting Dixon in to call

Dixon does call, with Aces

Mallu has to flip K-9 off

Dixon turns Quads goes over 300,000

Mallu down to 100,000

130,000. Fallen back a touch over a quiet last hour

Average now 200,000 going into 5-10k


Expecting lots of exits this level

Todd Swain opens playing 225,000

nick hicks 3 bets the small blind

Swain 4 bet shoves and Hicks calls with 8-8

Swain 7-7

Eights hold, Hicks wins the pot to go over 600,000 total and Swain out 43rd

The Alli Mallu rollercoaster has now grinded to a halt.
He shoved for about 20 big blinds with  Js Ts.
Romain woke up with  Ac Kc, called, and King was the first card out.

Mark Wagstaff and Jeff Hemmerman get it all in - its approaching that stae of the tournament 20x bb flip city - Wagstaff the raiser, Hemmerman the shover...275,000 pot


Wagstaff A-J

Hemmerman 6-6

J-5-3-9-9

Hemmerman out 40th

Jeremy Brown is now out.
The hand that hurt him is when he got it in with JJ against the AQ of Doig Rudling, Q on the river than was out shortly after.

has cam law managed to double through at all, he seems to have been nursing 90k for like the last 10 levels , dont know how hes managing to survive ?????

i've got my eyes on him

About 120-130k still. No double up but scrapping away...

Apologies - Brown not out, just an immediate table change

Peter Wilkerson out having shoved a shortstack and getting 3 callers, Faramarz Mirfakhrai winning the pot with [AS][KH] hitting two pair.

Ceri Rees having a wonderful few levels.
After a limp Rees calls from the big blind with Js 3s.
Flop is Ad Jd 3d , all check.
Turn is Jc .
Rees checks, May makes it 20k, Rudling to 75k. Rees jams his boat, May folds, Rudling calls. Rudlling has a flush, and is drawing dead as he is eliminated.

Tim Blake 30,000 UTG

Ryan Spittles 65,000 UTG+1

Folded round to Michele Parrillo who calls all in in the big blind for 55,000

Blake folds

board is 5h 3d Qd 8c , Eustace bets 70k, Poole calls.
River - 5d . Eustace bets 100k.
Garrett says it just stinks of a bluff, Poole hasn't played this optimally but just always have to call off here based on his line with the marginal hand he probably has.
Poole calls, Eustace says You've got it showing 8s 9s , Poole shows the winner of Td Th.

The last lady of the field, Shirley Lacey, out in 26th.

My apologies tighty, my mate is charnjit and not changit so IM stevie wonder lol

Nick hicks to do a win!!

Well that was an interesting hour

As the bubble burst a valet poured a pint of juice over by my laptop. Probably not in her excitement to see who bubbled.

A few reboots, a panic or two later, and it appears I might be back.

this

Raefe Tucker, claiming to be the most handsome man in the building shoved 120k on a steal with Jc 6s .

Gowan the Samurai

Yes. Biggest stacks over here are 800-900,000 Storey, Poole and Eustace

Sigh,I have been jocked off the final table commentary again.

The Whispering Ted Lowe of poker commentaries will have to wait for another night.

Ha no, it's on TV so I'm in the comfort of my warm house.

I thought you'd known me for long enough now to realise that cinema isn't my style. Toilets for best part of 30 seconds is the best a DTD valet can hope for. I'm sure they're all dreaming of it as we type.

Hicks no longer the big stack.
Tonino open jams at 15k/30k for 485k.
Folds to Nick Hicks who calls with [7C][7D].

Adam Daniel will have a horrible horrible bad beat and bust out in 9th at the hands of Nick Hicks who will go on to win.

Oh did you say predict?

Hicks to win- well overdue a big score

+1. What a guy. That 'feeling' he had with 85s last hand of day1a.... inspirational

Not missing much, 20 minutes of raise-fold, raise-call c-bet-fold

Paul Romain doubles through Adam Daniel

Romain button shove 250,000 A-4

Daniel big blind calls A-8

Q-3-5-6-2 for the double up

Not sure I know the gentleman. Should I?

blinds up 30-60k, average 960k

We are definitely a couple of levels behind where the tournament is normally is at this stage, comp normally ends at 40-80k!

Nick Hicks to win please

you wouldnt approve of the way he conducts himself ask tighty

The nicest bloke in poker (2011/12 season).

Adam Daniel down to 480,000 open shoves

Nick Hicks playing 1m plus calls in the big blind with A-J

Daniel 10-5cc

10 on the flop, 10 on the river doubles Daniel up

I gather, in consulation with Mr Trumper, that all the players have agreed to roll the blinds back two levels at 8 handed

Excuse me for a minute

[ updater throws up]

Back again

That's wonderful news for the stream viewers, I expect

Rees makes it 200,000

Dixon shoves for 420,000 with A-K

Rees calls with A-J

4-9-9-3-6 doubles Dixon up

Storey raises to 150,000

Adam Daniel shoves for a lot

Storey calls off 725,000 with A-Q

Daniel covers him

Daniel A-K, flops a King

Glen storey finishes 9th


Adam Daniel will be chip leader when the live stream starts

So blinds on the final table will be 15-30k

Chip counts shortly

has adam been disco dancing during hands again?

Hicks 1,221,000

Dixon 974,000

Romain 446,000

Daniel 1,840,000

ok I have access to it now, much easier, cheers

Rees wins the first 3 bet pot of the final, semi bluffing the second nut flush draw on the flop against Daniel

Romain bluffs the turn blind on blind v Daniel. Daniel has flopped trip sixes in the big blind, and raises. Romain with no pair no draw has to pass

blinds shortly go 20-40k (again). Average is 1.1m....so plenty of play again

Romain gets his first shove through, K-J unopened on the button, neither blind can call

Dixon A-K 3 bets against a Rees Q-J open, Rees folds

Rees opens A-2, Nick Hicks 3 bets A-9cc to 255,000 and takes it down

think we've seen one real hand in 25 minutes of the final!

Dixon 3 bets a Hicks open, A-7 over K-2 and takes it down

Who's commentating?

Sean Someone, Perry I think

I don't know him

Still, he jocked me off. lol

thoughts so far?

likely winner?


thoughts on rolling back the blinds?

Nick Crisp plays two hands in a row shocker. That's more hands than he used to play in a week at Luton

Be nice to see nick hicks win

Hicks 85,000 with A-2

Dixon J-J 233,000 3 bet

148,000 to call and "a decison to make" apparently

Fold.

you are too diplomatic.  mute for me

I just won a ukipt pkg well pleased

well done.

Rolling back the blinds- against it. You're changing the dynamic of that 9 handed table

Stoke reg.

Could be a big hand here kk v aj v a8 spades flop j high 2 spades

Brilliant

Rees 85,000 with K-K red red

Daniel with A-8ss calls

Crisp finds A-J...perfect spot for a squeeze you might think... not really his style....Calls


3 way to the flop   7s Js 4h

Crisp top pair top kicker

Daniel nut flush draw

Rees the overpair

Rees 180,000 c bet

Daniel makes the call

Crisp last played a three way pot in 2005, way out of his comfort zone....

top pair top kicker 180 to call 667 in the pot

playing 800k

all in!

Rees a bit slower than I would have like, OK, a lot slower than you would like.....hurry up man.....what's the agony? please re-shove...soon...if he has a set, he has a set, unlucky...stick it in.....

Adam Daniel can get away here...yes?

Come on Ceri, stick it in

Man oh man he passes the overpair.

Ouch.

I can't pass there

OMG. I mean WTF is going on

Now then Daniel with the NFD versus TPTK

665 to call, 1.53m in the middle

Crisp's image might get this through....very tight player

Daniel hates passing though....


call or fold?

Daniel calls

Rees throws up

no spades turn and river and Nick Crisp has a huge more than double up.

thoughts please

I need interaction!

Unbelievable fold by kk turn would have done hin tho

Crisp chipleader 2.2m

Daniel 663k


Daniel is unlucky, Kings reshove, he passes..he's still a top three stack

Ceri should snap shove.

Daniel's is an auto call once Rees folds simply cos Crisp can shove worse draws

results orientated. I think he has to reshove Kings.

KK is a snap... possibly hollywood call ainec. A8ss should also call quicker, given the dead money etc, getting a ridic price. Poker loses in this hand.

never folding kings there

Definately does not pass. Calls quicker, gets an even better price with almost identical equity. Should be a lock to win the comp if there's a 3-way all in and he gets there (40% or so)

FYP hero

Never folding KK in that spot

Crisp flops top two with K-Q, Dixon flops second pair...3 bets

K-Q-7 K-Q Crisp, Dixon Q-J

Crisp 4 bet shoves

Dixon folds, after a good old Hollywood

Kelly clarkson opening super bowl
Bhorat would ha been more interesting

Dixon button Q-10 calls

Romain shoves 316,000 with 3-3 small blind

Daniel A-6 big blind 272,000 to call just under half his stack

Calls. Brave interesting call

Dixon folds

4-3-7-5-5

Huge switchback board doubles Romain up

adam daniel fan club on chat

limp button with Q10- really?

not sure I pass KK if im 3rd to act in that pot

As played, terrible fold

Commentator just used "valued in" as a term.

Fail

Here we go

Romain A-K 700k ish all in

Daniel 7-7 calls, finally 300k all in

Q-6-5-K-2

Adam Daniel finishes 8th winning £3,581

Right, i'm happy... off to bed for me. Nick Hicks FTW!

Romain up to 2nd in chips behind Crisp

Rofl, cliffs on all the hate on a certain person ?

Here we go again

Dixon 10-10 145k from 789k

Crisp A-Q calls

9-3-K

check check

Q on turn

check check

K river

Crisp 175,000

Dixon calls

Dixon pays the price for no c bet on the flop


 

i was wondering that until i read:


in the chat

Won the Deepstack last year, made himself unpopular in some quarters due to behaviour/demeanour during that.

Romain 145,000 with Q-Q, takes it down

Lovely recovery from Romain, had a great level

Romain K-9 and raising chips makes it 145,000

Millan 300,000 A-J

Hurry up man, stick it in.Man...he folds......Wowzers.....

what is going on? AJ fold with 5 bigs?

Millan satty in?

Rastafish going into commentary. 

yes! this should be funny was gonna switch off but not now

Millan all in 6-6

Dixon K-Q should be calling, yes?

Quick call

K-3-9-6-7

Millan doubles up

Milan plays 5/10 as far as I know?

KQ easy call

nods.

Thank fuck !! Can put the volume back on now

yup, independantly wealthy

Dixon 95,000 shove small blind J-3

Romain getting 5-2 odds with 6-2 off, calls

9-8-3-9-6

Lee Dixon out 7th winning £5,014

Crisp 150,000 with A-6 suited

Hicks K-J folds

+1. cant be an easy job but just shows how good Simon  and Alex are.

As long as Rastafish gives his views on life and not poker we could be in for an epic stream :)

Rees 135,000 with A-7cc

Romain calls A-5hh

Q-Q-3

Rees checks, Romain 180,000, Rees folds

Nice mellifluous voice, Colburn...

stream down for me

stream down for me 2

Break time...that's why

do you mind if I go and do a bit of commentating?

you guys can live update off the stream?

Tighty in the booth, gogogo.

should a moderator do your bit?

Link for live stream please + Glad adam daniels didnt win hes a nasty peice of work >:)

http://www.dusktilldawnpokerclub.com/news.php?id=2216

Tighty  ;tightend;

thank you

Fuckin love that line " would have never guessed you thought like that Tomlin"

Former Dtd dealer Ruslav Vlasov 3 to 1 chip lead at Star City heads up

I think I'm in love with Rastafish.

whos the commentator advising limping :p

sigh, wanted the 8ball to roll off on the river to hear Rasta lol

Romain 190k with AK

Milan decides to jam K8

Axx83 board

Milan out

Loving Rasta and Tighty on commentary.

Rasta such a nice guy but listening to him- how did he win the deepstack and the MC?!?!

Standard Livepokeraments.

He's explained it himself, 'it's the reverse psychology'. Must be something in it.

I think Rasta does enough things right to give himself a chance.

limp call 63o everytime he got it for 8 hours straight, make 2pr + on every flop.

tru story.

true story indeed, I was there. Lol

Romain, allin  Kh Qs, Montesanto calls his last 8BB's with  Ac 9h.

Rag board, Montesanto doubles.

Does anyone know if a deals been discussed?

Hello I am back

No deal discussed

Next 5 minutes very interesting!

thoughts on the QQ/66/AQ hand please

Fukn ridic nitroll, sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh UL Nick.

i get a bit tillted at the people who have a go at the players so much. ffs the money means a lot to everyone on that table and has a massive affect on how they play. fuck the haters

I think the Crisp guy has been raising that tight that 66 is a fold, but I've not watched the whole final, so Nick's read on the situation would be better than mine.

Hope you enjoyed the commentary

I didn't agree with a single word Rasta said,lol!

Dry humour ftw, hopefully

Frankie and Mitch could be comedy next.

Crisp 5m
Romain 1.4m
Montesanti 1.2m
Rees 800k

60-120k now

No deal talk

Think Romain is the best player remaining,but can he get chips off nitroll?

and well done to Nick Hicks £9,000 for 5th, and card dead all final

terrific performance

Yes, very good.
Rasta was entertaining, which is much more important than him being technically correct.

Ceri is very very keen on a deal,and they are discussing figures now

They dealt

Crisp 39k
Montesanti 23k
Romain 20k
Rees 19k

Crisp took 3k off a chip count deal

Your winner


Nick Crisp

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-xZiRDjPBJHI/Ty8yhZXYddI/AAAAAAAAVwg/nVEeFkCV13o/s640/DSCN4141.JPG)

Cheers for the support and well done to everyone left.

I'd have had 16 bigs in 2 minutes with blinds about to go up. That with being completely card dead on the final made me get it in. Definitely a mistake though considering I was chipping away  :(

Well done on the updates as usual Tighty and Jonathan!

Well done to Luton reg Nick Crisp      .....      the man that 'never plays a hand'.

Oh my oh my - well done Nick!

well done Nick!!

Haha, the ugly fker crisp will now look very handsome next time I see him ;)

Many Congrats Nick.

Congratulations to nick. Always friendly whenever I see him.

Will the ft be posted? I searched youtube and found the July Monte Carlo but no others

they do get put up, but u cant search for them, u need the link. Simon usually puts it up on facebook a few days after so you can get there that way.

So i can get this and your victory? Charmed life sir.

"DTD Poker come and play with me"

Ermmmmmmmmm Okkkkkk

Well done crisp.... I believe this is the first win for any Luton regulars at dtd.well done

Glenn Henderson came second, once

Alan McBride finalled a few I think

but yes, Nick is the first Deepstack winner from our patch

Did celtic not win one?

theres a few more vids for the non monetary bank too m8

Omg and wow. Is that Jilly (ex dealer at Dtd) pre getting smacked in the nose obv :)

As for the kk hand i really thought i was behind to the bb

I was wrong!!!  but still in the game

Hey mate. I have never met you but have been trying to find out who you are. Once kingoni told me who you were I thought you would crush that final table (thought hicks and romain would have too). The blog made out that you were the one wanting the deal most and from playing you so often on line I would have thought you would shoot for the win

Great effort tho v wp

Well done Nick...real nice unassuming fella.....good to see him come through at last

As for making the deal mate,
Me and Paul Romain was up for it and the other fella
I never got going on ft, did not play my game which im very dissapointed with !!!!
But this is my biggest score and means alot to me.
I can only learn from my past actions and improve next time

Lol. I said on the feed that you won't deal because you will fancy it and Paul won't because of his backers. Goes to show what I know (once again) rotflmfao

Don't know if Nick comes here but all the same, what a great result, well done old boy !

Just got round to reading though the blog after sleeping through most of yesterday...drove back to Croydon after the end of comp, arrived 5am, after 3 hours sleep Friday night and another 3 on Saturday night lol!

Well done to Nick for the win...Ceri is right that the other 3 of us were keen to deal...it had reached the point where none of us really had any leeway to do anything other than shove/fold and 4 handed you're pretty much at the mercy of the deck. I didn't really fancy effectively sticking £9k in the middle hoping to win £7k on a flip - rather than taking £20k there and then - so with apologies to people sitting up watching the stream hoping to see an  epic HU battle...I was more than happy to be on my way home lol!!

Couple of other things that have arisen in the blog...Ceri's fold of KK firstly. When I found out what he folded I have to admit I was thinking "wtf" too....much the same as I did when Toni raised button and folded to a shove that he was getting nearly 3/1 to call i think. BUT...as someone said above...what seems easy to you when you are watching, or even taking part but not the one with the decision to make, is nowhere near as easy when you are the one looking at a call that might be about to cost you tens of thousands of £££ !! Yes, they were mistakes...of that there is no doubt. But before criticising please bear in mind that the pressure you are under is intense, unless you are lucky enough for £46k to be small change! Each and everyone of the people that make a final table in a tournament like this have played extremely well to get there...and almost certainly been lucky along the way too at some stage. They all deserve congratulations not criticism.

Finally I've noticed there seems to be quite a lot of negativity to one of the final tablists. I'm not aware of the history but just wanted to say I spent quite a bit of time on the same tables as him over the course of both days and found him to be a decent bloke, good humoured and played game in the right spirit. Perhaps he had an off day before? I have a few of those too so know its easy to create a false impression. In fact its worth saying that considering the amount of money at stake, the final, as with the rest of the competition, was played in a tremendous spirit. Its great that in poker it is so rarely otherwise in my experience. Never ceases to amaze me that in such a financially competitive environement, poker players invariably enjoy seeing their regular opponents do well and are so supportive of each other. Its almost unique and one of the things that makes poker such a fantastic "job" to do, and it's wide community good to be part of.

Lastly great updates from Tighty and Jonathan as usual. Well done guys!
