Before I disappear off for a fleeting weekend towards and onto the M1 today...

Tonight, Day1a of the inaugural £50,000 Guaranteed £150 Deepstack

This event should be a corker. I would expect well over 120 tonight and over 300 tomorrow.

As the nice people at DTD say

"Our new mid monthly £150 Deepstack offers the same experience as our classic £300 Deepstack but for half the buy in! Guaranteed at a whopping £50,000 players have the option to enter via low buy in online and live satellites or buy-in directly for £150 + £18. For this, players get a true Deepstack experience - 15,000 chips, 40 minute clock, two Day 1's and the option to re-enter.

We hope this will appeal to all our players that loved the monthly 300 Deepstack as well as offering the lower bankroll players the opportunity to step up to a 2 day Deepstack event and gain valuable experience. "

Schedule as follows

Day1a Fri 17th February 7pm
Day1b Sat 18th February 2pm
Day 2 Sunday 19th February 12pm

Re-entry allowed for both days, so four entries total if you feel like it....

Late entry til 1am tonight, and til 8pm Saturday

The latter stages of the event will be live streamed once more on a slight delay on www.dtdpoker.com with guest commentators. You'll need your DTD online username and password to watch.

Who knows, I might start a game of "Rastafish Bingo" for you to play at home.....

38 in so far for tonight

Paul Skipper, he of rush out to the car park, 2nd in Monte Carlo, Turkey farmer fame bets 2,025

Richard Blacklock makes it 5,050

On the button James Buckley calls

Skipper folds

Blacklock  Th Ts

Buckley, as the quick all in call implied,  Qs Jh

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-n3sweju0Xpg/Tz6s-lqu6FI/AAAAAAAAVxw/2B6KxL82NZM/s640/DSCN4167.JPG)

the latest is that we are up to 113 runners after one level. No exits yet

The appeal of the £150 I think is that the guarantee is big enough to attract the usual deepstackers, yet £150 is affordable to those who would normally play a £50 on a Friday here.

I reckon we might hit 500 runners over the 2 starting days. Yes?

Late entry tonight til 1am, tomorrow til 8pm. No excuses now....

What time does it start tomorrow? Thanks

Lol! Abs incred! You couldn't make that shit up! WAL!

Pics of big DM pls!

Dont forget mate you flop a set 1in 2 pp' s you get dealt

2pm, club opens at 1pm.

You can re-enter as soon as you lose your first lot  ;nana;

Jay Bradley opens to 300

"Call" "call" "call" announce the next three players, like Staccato gunfire on a firing range

 4h 5c 8h flop

Bradley leads for 1,500. Two callers, including Gary Dee

turn  Jd

Bradley 5,000

Dee all in for 13,000

Bradley a several minute dwell, and call with  Aspades Ahrt

Dee  Js 8s

river  4c

and Gary Dee leaves his seat, the first to leave the competition

Is it the usual buy-in online at the DTD shop until 12 noon tomorrow Rich?

Nicholas Panayi and Christopher Witney get 15,000 each in in Level Two. Pre flop

Panayi J-J

Witney 7-7

The A-2-7 flop sees Panayi stand up in high dudgeon and f and a blind accompanying a rapid backwards movement of his chair

He turns round on the 5 turn

and then exhales on the J river that sees him double through

Witney meanwhile takes his turn to tell the table how unlucky he is.....

Yes.

Mickey Wernick finalled the £250 Six Max last weekend, and here he is back for more

John Cupcake comes over and tells me he is "bored shitless"

His highlight so far is

"tight bloke raises, one caller, I call with  3s 5s. Have to really"

I wait, expectant as ever...

"It comes two spades, I call a lead"

"turn comes a spade, we both check"

"river I over-bet the pot, he calls with Aces. He shouldn't call really, silly sod"

"sorry I can't remember more, I don't remember this crap. Where's the bar?"

and off he toddles


Not a scooby-doo's chance he'll cash in this, won't sit still for five minutes

British Gas. A danger to the table. A danger to his own wallet. Fearless

When are you going to raise the bar on Mastermind your tightness?

Tonight one bloke got FOUR points on his specialist subject and another thought the St.Valentine's massacre took place in Liverpool.

Didn't realise you were covering this event Rich.
Meanwhile, I'm playing online vs kinboshi.
See you Sunday!

Cheers

Two a month now (All £500 deepstacks, Grand Prix, Monte Carlos, some others) with our new partnership. One covered by me under the terms of the deal, one covered by another updater. Volunteers to do them welcomed (paid, of course)

Sean Randall raises pre, Fran Creed calls on the button with Q-10

The small blind calls and they are three way to a J-10-2 flop

Randall bets half the pot, Creed calls

Heads Up they see a lovely, for Fran, 10 turn

Randall checks, Creed bets near the pot. Randall calls

River is an ugly J

Randall leads, Fran calls and is shown J-9

So as we hit the break after the first three levels, where are we?

130 entries, with late registration until 1am

123 remain

Exits are

124    Michael Wernick
125    Lee Mcshane

128    Christopher Witney
129    Mark Smith
130    Gary Dee

blinds go 100-200, Average is 16,500


It is nicely packed in here with a rammed £15 comp alongside the £150. Fresh air, here I come for a few minutes

Cant even say how sick it is. Guy shiped on turn with flush i have top set and he binks it. Then make a bluff on a  3s 4c 6c 7c 3h board by shoving the guy calls with k high. yep good bye me.  lol

Outrageously good is Mr Johnson!

12k and grinding as per

Paul Ho raises to 475 at 100-200

Riasat Ali in the big blind calls

6-8-A rainbow goes check check

turn 9, two spades on the board....Ali check, Ho 450

river Q of spades

Ali 2,600 an overbet

Ho snaps him off with A-Q




Same orbit on the river the board reads 2-K-4-J-J

The aptly named Henry Whale in the big blind 2,000 into a 5,000 pot

Ali all in for 5,000

Llyr Jones check raises to 10,000 from the small blind (presumably with what we will see is the case Jack)

Whale folds

Ali wins the pot with J-4 off, having limped on the button

Sick good quoting skills itt

Sigh 2k AK into QQ

Sick reading skills itt.

Quotes 1 iPads 0

Paul Ho up over 35,000...straight flush versus the King high flush of Stuart Kinghorn, both hitting their card on the river.

Table bobby1, Milligan, LB44 etc is quite active


First Jack Allen in the blinds and Liam Batey collide

The board reads 5-5-8-10

Allen check raises on the turn 1700 to 3400 to be met by a shove for 9,000 total by Batey

Allen folds with a grimace and Batey shows me his cards

No word of a lie, six pairs of eyes on the table look at me for a reaction

I remain impassive

A few minutes later as I pass by the table again seats 1,2 and 3 are all reading the updates to see if I will name Liam's hand

Of course I cannot say that Liam had 9-9 until the table breaks or Liam is out. Oh, wait.....


Same table blind on blind Milligan and Liam Batey

Milligan check calls 500 on 9-2-7

check calls 1500 on the 5 turn

leads 2,100 on the 7 river to be met by an emphatic shove for 14,000 from the talented Batey.

Milligan passes, Batey assures him mand me he had 7-2....

Miligan tells me he folded A-7 on the hand above


then bobby1 A-K UTG, Milligan has A-Q

Bobby opens to 500, called by UTG+2, Milligan flats

Bobby leads flop 1600 A-7-5

Milligan smooth rim flats

Bobby 4000 on the 9 turn

Milligan jams

called

Phil "Bobby1" Quayle over 30,000

Interesting goings on on table tonytats

Stephen Wilson raises

Mike Harrison 3 bets

James Buckley flats on the button

Jarrod Walsh flats in the big blind

Wilson calls


4 way to the flop then in a three bet pot

Q-4-9 rainbow

Walsh and Wilsdon check

Buckley the original three better 3,300

Buckley flats that.

Walsh now puts in 5,300 without saying anything. Intending it to be a call, it in fact goes as a min-raise

 Now its going to get messy

Wilson passes

Harrison shoves

Buckley shoves

Walsh shoves, calls all in to be more precise

Who has what?

Well all Harrison's christmases have come at once for the 3 bettor has Q-Q for top set

Buckley who flatted pre and on the flop has Aces.

Walsh, who min raised by mistake has J-9. Suited

Jack on the turn means Aces go third

3 on the river

Harrison trebles to over 40,000. Walsh wins the side pot and Buckley ponders how to play Aces to lose the maximum.

Up to 35k
Called a small raise with  4d 5d
Flop  Ks 2h 3d led the flop Paul skipper min raises the fantastic  Ac is the turn and I call 5k from skipper 4  4sIs the river and I bet 7k skipper jams with his set of 2s

He's got the bullets...

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fbaa9XhKrms/Tz7SstGMRDI/AAAAAAAAVyk/REN2sqLWP3M/s640/DSCN4180.JPG)

40? I would have said 40

Well it turns out he has a 28 year old son, that son being Gavin Tomlin who is a Pro footballer currently on loan at Gillingham, who scored a corker on TV versus Southend recently

Here's the lad, who has played for a host of lower league clubs.

So Rastafish has to be 50ish?

Here's Ray Brown from Stamford in Lincs

I used to play Ray a lot in Luton, he reads blonde a lot and likes the updates. Good man

Ray is a seven card stud specialist, won the big 7CS event in Baden about 8years ago

unless he got some bird up the duff at 11 ish :)

Andrew Woodsey is out

James Thompson in late position with Aces

Woodsey in the big blind with QQ, quite short-stacked

played it quiet pre to get the double. It all went in on a 10-8-2 rainbow flop

Here's Trevor Pearson aka Typhoon13. Another blonde who mostly reads, though you'll find him posting on RED-DOGs diary about nature. Not so much about shirts, though.

Well, Barry Neville went out in 111th then he's just gone out again in 97th, so that 18 might go up to 19 if he can find another sponsor ;)

Scouted round the remaining 11 tables, and found the two chip leaders. Both approaching 100,000

Meanwhile Stacey Coore, a DTD Regular, has come as an explosion at a Dulux factory. Fancy Dress is another night, mate.

final tally of runners today was 150.

300 tomorrow a good bet.

450 total would see a prize pool in the region of £65-70k and the guarantee smashed.

Ta very muchly...

3 way after the river, board reading A-4-J-7-J

Greek Jack bets 10,000 into 15,000

the middle player folds

Prassanna Suryanarayanan (saves name to notepad) makes it 32,000

Greek Jack furrows his brow, and asks if Prassanna Suryanarayanan (see, I knew it would come in useful) will show if he passes

Prassanna Suryanarayanan (phew) says "yes"

Greek Jack tells the table this makes him want to call more

He thinks better of it though, passes and Prassanna Suryanarayanan shows him K-J

Prassanna Suryanarayanan on about 80,000

Just lost monster pott down to 60k

Sunny mistri and Dave l'honore please???

Seeyou later..

Mistri has had a good few levels. Over average on about 80,000

Monsieur L'Honore est en moyenne, sur environ 35 000

how many has leethefish got?

I arrive a fraction too late to see the pre flop action

However Riasat Ali is all in

Lewis Mitchell on the button has called or raised.

Scott Eustace in the small blind likewise.

Both have chunks of purple chips over the line

Mazhar Latif in the big blind looks to have called all in

So Ali and Latif all in, betting on the side


The main pot I estimate to be 80,000, 4 ways

flop A-9-2 rainbow

Eustace 20,000 from 60,000

Mitchell raises to set Eustace in, Eustace calls

Penelope the Poor dealer has groups of chips here there and everywhere, which she methodically sorts while the helpful presence of Barry Neville no doubt brings her sustenance in her time of maximum concentration

So we're on our backs


Eustace and Mitchell both have A-K

Ali has 8-7 off

Latif has 6-7 Suited.

I wish I had seen the pre-flop order of things


Anyway Eustace and Mitchell chop it up and we lose another two players

 

64,000. Now on table Mitchell/Eustace/Iacano

Average 68,500

blinds 800-1600

Shaun Pierrepoint raises to 4000

Paul Ho 10200 in the small blind

Pierrepoint calls

 Ad Qc 6c

Ho leads for 15,000

Pierrepoint makes it 40,000

Ho with 68,000 total shoves and Pierrepoint calls

Ho  Ahrt Qh

Pierrepoint  Kc Ac

Unavoidable, really

turn  7c

river  Kh


the over 150,000 pot goes to Pierrepoint and Ho is sadly out

Into the last level of the night with 33 of 150 left

Llyr Jones c-raises all in on 10-Q-5-A against Jamie Holland to go to 70,000

Lewis Mitchell now over 200,000 at the expense it seems of Scott Eustace, who is v short stacked alongside him

David L'Honore over 80,000 making good progress

Sunny mistri has gone backwards, under 40,000

Lee the fish grinding 50,000 at 1-2k

1b begins at 2pm. It is going to be hectic

Goodnight

Sighs will get there one day seems like this tourney is alot better suited for me then the 500 and alot better for my wallet


Woulda took another stab tomorrow but speed awareness course tomorrow sighs gl alll


Playing alot better also

Clear eyes full hearts dont lose


Well sometimes just need to hold!!!!

Absolutely over the moon to make day 2, I managed to satellite in for €15 so makes it even sweeter.

Had an amazing run from level 10 were I sat with only 10BB it included Pocket aces 3 times Jacks twice AK three times amongst smaller pairs and strong aces each time the big pairs stood up so I guess I'm due a spanking on day 2...... Lol

Well done to every one else who has made it to day 2

Cheers

Jay

An update for the updater I raise 2.5 k ace king Greek jack flats big blind all in jacks
I m a donkey who can't fold ace king pre flop so in it goes jack folds I miss good night me

VBOL LOJ,  met him at a blonde bash, lovely fella, win it all mate.

That's just horrible.

You could not meet a nicer, or more genuine man than Phil.

+1 to this.

And gl to Lee also

Geo

Nice Updating Rich, thank you.

Thanks also to DTD, for financing the Update, & sponsoring blonde.

Please support the sponsors, without whom there may be no updates, or even blonde.

Will be showing my support for our sponsors by investing in copious amounts of the sweet Thai chicken salad. Whatever happened to the eggs benedict we were so fond of Tony?

No idea, very sad, no Cardroom or Casino food ever beat that.

Good luck today, Herbie.

Don't think it was on the menu herbie

It used to be, but then vanished.

The sweet chilli chicken salad is good though, and the best thing on the current menu.

Good to see LOJ making it through. Do a win fella :)up

They did an incredible French toast with bacon and maple syrup! Nothing better than that. I was crushed when it came off. Intact I haven't cashed a tourney at Dtd since

Can never get used to the idea of bacon and maple syrup on the same plate. Esp with a muffin and yoghurt next door.

British Gas has this one sewn up I fancy.

Bring back the individual shepherds pies with jug of gravy n bit of veg on side please mr.young
Also maybe individual steak / steak n kidney pies

Yeah it's pretty strange that some of the most popular things on the menu get taken off after a while. Have said it before but a few prawns instead of the chicken would be excellent.

Thanks for the good luck Tony.

Yes it was a strange one that Tony, given the Numbers it was a good spot to move in and Hopefully get him to pass. When he said I think I have to call I expected him to show a8 a9 ish or some draw.

It Deffo wasn't a rub down tho, the guy was good fun and we had some good banter, a nice hand shake at the end and I hope he goes well again tomorrow.

Great updates Rich, we decided to walk back using google map, only took us 75 minutes:-(

Nice to meet you yesterday Bobby, absolute gent at the table. We had a bit of a sick first table tbh, there was only really 2 easy spots. I should fold against you all day, especially when i tell you your hand, but i can't always be a hero. Had already made so many big folds in that. GL if you play today.

Was nice to meet you too Milli, I was hoping to have a chat with Eso too but in the first break he was on the phone and we ate something in the second break so we never got to chat.

Was an interesting first able for sure, I think that 9-10k ish pot early on set the tone a little.

It was pity we found a big hand together tho and so soon after that 'internet hand' with the sevens, that was some lay down.

cheers

Cheers Dan...  will give it a goodblast tomorrow.  nice to ake day 2 :-)
