My tip for the day - Martin Sieder
2nd in chips so may be an obvious choice, but was pretty drunk yesterday, and seemed to play very well
heard it here first!

Good luck to Craig Lear and Dave Newman...........do it for the Bristol crew!

Don't know if Martin Seider has made it here yet. Think he was part of the party that decamped off to Nottingham's finest dancing establisments last night.


Shout outs please for anyone and we'll get chip counts and pictures.

Stu Innes gets about 60k in with  Ahrt Kh
Looks set to double up against the  Ad Qd of Gordon Woodings
However  Qc on the turn elliminates Innes

good luck today Caroline

Sheriff Fatman 12-2 on table Mitch/Greek Jack please

Charlie K 13-3 please. One of Swindon's best. Not saying much.

Good luck to all

glgl to all blondes especially sheriff. Also would like to see the chip leader do well, played with him a couple of hours yesterday and is an all round nice bloke.

glgl caz and jon think your in for a late one or early one whichever way you look at it ;)

We lose another
Wayne Catchpole all in for 78k with  Ac Kc
Martin Mills finds  Ad Ahrt
Aces hold, Catchpole out

Tim Wright to 11,500
Ian Edwards to 27k, a cold call from Mathew Miners in the big blind
Wright gets out the way

flop -  Jc Qs 6c

Miners open jams putting Edwards all in for 88,500
Snap call from Edwards

Edwards -  Ad Ac
Miners...  Ahrt Ts

Turn -  Th
River...  Kd

Chop it up as they both have broadway

Jon will be playing Simon Trumper HU at some point today which I'm guessing will be after he busts the Chip Leader. Then again, if Simon goes deep, could be fun to watch him plat two tables at once.

Loads of local players left in today, as well as a few semi pros which always makes for a good mix when one player assumes play based on their own style and range...  Will try and catch a few of those finer moments.

18 million chips in play and 67 players still in... it's gonna be a long, long day.

^^ and see previous post..

Willis Marrow opens to 12k UTG
"You always raise on my big blind don't you" says Rob Ward
David Newman calls
Ward looks down at  Qc 9s, calls

Flop -  7c Qs 2h
check/check, Marrow bets 17k.
Newman calls, Ward with his Q9 makes it 125k
Marrow folds quickly, Newman tanks.
All in for about 170k with  Aspades Qd, Ward snaps

Turn -  9c

Newman out, Ward as good as doubles

Blonde's newest member - " IBuyCars ".

We think he bears more than a resemblance to Devilfish's older, skinnier brother.

Players now on break
65 remaining, average at 280k
Blinds 3k/6k/1k when we return
Simon Trumper has been on the up already, having won a 110k pot without showdown

The Coccon table is still going strong.

No one passed over in their sleep, so you can look forward to another day of folding, with the occasional loud snore. And that's just the dealer.

Simon Hyde went out last hand before the break.

He raised UTG to 1800 with AK, folded round to Mr Lee who made it 70K to go, Simon happily gets his remaining 160K in and Mr Lee makes the call, to turn over AQ.

Standard queen on flop and Mr Lee tans Simon's hide.

Look at this cheeky chappie's smiling face, exuberant with the joy of knowing he's playing his A game, surrounded by friends and fans, on target for yet another cash to add to an impressive Hendon Mob listing.

Oh yes, and there's Mitch as well.

Booder just dodged a bullet.

One raiser and he jams with AQ.

Raiser dwells and then folds AK face up, saying "I think you had a good hand then"

Booder mucked and thought "So did I until you showed me your were ahead"

Hero folds FTW today.

Booder now on £120K and possibly borrowed time.

i needed some of these players yesterday

Simon just lost a chunk with  Ac Kc vs  Kd Kh
Trumper down to 280k, Patrick Simcoe up to about 400k

Marrow to 18k, Mick Hardy to 50k.
Marrow with a snap raise to 150k, Hardy with a snap call.

Flop -  Ts 8c 8d
Snap shove for 195k from Marrow, snap call from Hardy

Marrow -  Kc Kd
Hardy -  Qc Qd

King's hold, Hardy says "I nearly folded to that reraise you made"

Hardy down to about 40k, if that

Craig Lear raises to 19K early position only for another guy to get it all in.

Craig, so far quite a vociferous presence at the table, asks quietly for a count (160K) and then goes very quiet while he counts his

Eventually he folds, taps the table and says nice bet.

Mr Lee says "Of course it's a nice bet because he knows you raise every hand and can't call"

Craig seems a little put out and says he had a good hand. The guy who raised, Stuart Bell, says "I had AQ" and Craig replies "Well I made a good fold then as my ace was behind"

Darren Scanlon pipes up, how many aces are in this pack because I folded one, cue Lynne Beaumont and Paul David both putting their hands up and naming the suit of the ace they passed.

Craig gives it up.

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_zqAMzKrCdM/T93tiDrQCMI/AAAAAAAAaJk/5tJngzOaglo/s720/010.JPG)

Miners at it again
12k, Chris Moore to 27k, Miners calls

Flop -  2d 2h Th

Miners bets 45k, Moore to 90k, Miners calls

Turn -  Aspades

Miners checks, all in from Moore for 118k, Miners eventually finds a call

Moore -  Qd Qh
Miners -  Jh Ts

Queen's hold, Miners takes a hit

New chipleader!
Sadly I missed it (sigh) but Tan Luan Le eliminated Craig Lear and Stuart Bell
This puts him on, from what I can make out 900k

Tan says he was suprised Lear called with just top pair
Lear less than impressed, and is unlikely to make friends with Mr Le anytime soon

(http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQYxa2DqaSwkCoQbVRr2799tWdEzjaUFZjlds2WU0iWhZdGdzu1Wg)

Here's Booder dodging bullets.


(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-DdKMQVLLXP0/T93uX5TvIBI/AAAAAAAAaJs/QZZh1VAWXeo/s720/006.JPG)


He just called a shove with 66, he read it for a steal and he was rewarded for his good read by managing to fade every draw for is opponent's [9s] [7s] and take his stack up to 190K.

Ironically, he's still not back to his starting stack...

Mr Lee has been playing for just over a year and is featuring heavily in all DTD's big comps. He's obviously found a field of players that suit his game, he isn't scared of getting his chips in and is usually the aggressor rather than the caller. His etiquette has improved - as it couldn't have been much worse - since people explained it's pretty bad form to fistpump after sucking out on others! He cashes in most comps he plays and is a decent guy.

His opponent, Craig Lear, has two micro Hendon Mob entries with an inverse proportion ego.

Pretty sure that's a better rubdown than the one he was unhappy with!

Pete Wesson loses his stack to Mark James, with AJ on an ace high flop, when Mark has AK.

Low turn and river and his Jack kicker is no good.

Mark says 2I hate knocking out nice guys"


Man up.

as of about 1pm he was trying to find someone who was sober enough to drive :)

he text about 15mins aago saying he was down to about 600k :(

On table 21 an early positon raiser makes it 16K to be three bet to 38K by Mike Webber.

Jeremy Moore has a long think and asks Mike if he has anything good.

Mike smiles and nods. Which he probably would even if he had 2 3 off.

Eventually Moore gets his short stack in and the original raiser folds. Mike makes the call for 197K more and flips over Jacks, which stay ahead versus Moore's AK on a nine high board.

Alan Armitage is on 320K. He 3 bet with KJ and was check called all the way down on a KQ xxx board by a guy holding AQ.

Al usually plays online, and freely admits he would have 380K but has been caught out a couple of times. Definitely one to watch today.

Mike Webber still smiling on Alan's table, this could change when Alan finds a hand or a spot.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-XYnPCRkYrAA/T933IMQGcuI/AAAAAAAAaJ4/adWxkWExwEk/s720/014.JPG)

Everyone's crazy bout a sharp dressed man..

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OBzWynI4csg/T933xpvOeJI/AAAAAAAAaKA/dDyiJ_ElfQU/s720/013.JPG)

Tan Lee, in holiday mode.

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-oigYLW67c8I/T934PX0yOtI/AAAAAAAAaKI/dXVu6tNdI3A/s720/011.JPG)

Booder!!

He's on 346K now after finding aces which held against his oppos KQ on a Queen hig board, followed swiftly by AK on the button which he shoved with after a three bet, for his oppo to show AQ and fold.

Would be nice if poker always ran like this, but wouldn't provide great updates.

Could we have a pic of Matin Sider please

See if he looks as rough as he deserves today, he certaiinly ought to as it was daylinght when last nigh'ts festivities concluded

Goooooooooooooo on the booooooooooooooooooooo  ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader;

Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RHB1AYfSxCo/T937JkiG6wI/AAAAAAAAaKU/j4zgEYJk_IU/s720/015.JPG)


or maybe it's Martin Seider.

Remind me not to big up any players as it's like an instant bok.

Alan Armitage is now out. Steve Holden sucked him dry and is now on nearly 800K.

Go on Booder, get it won.
Good luck to Robert (IBUYCARS) also, thoroughly nice chap.

Two brothers Seth and Michael Webber now sat on the same table.

Mike Webber won the Grand prix here, but his brother is yet to make a big mark.

Similar scenario for Mitch Johnson. One day Mitch, one day.

Pity for Seider sat next to Frankie if he does have a hangover.

Frankie on a roll now, just taken out another player when his AQ hit a flush vs pocket tens.

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-wsMS_lpC0mo/T938zeT6mbI/AAAAAAAAaKc/hDZhWY3QAKI/s720/016.JPG)

hows mitch doing? Still got 160k like he's had for 2 days?

Can i get an update on jack Hoyle?

thanks, say bonjour to the bloke at the side if him (not Frankie ;)  ), he will get the joke ;)

Another 30 minutes at this level, blinds 5K/10K, ante 1K.

46 players left from the 73 who came back today.



Frankie as i type has just hit something else - I'm hazarding a guess.

He's walking round the card room with his hands in the air like an aged Chinese gymnast about to perform, shouting "Get in! Get in! That's a hero!! My turn now! My turn!!"


He had pocket sixes and got it all in on the turn against AQ on a Q 4 Q 6 board. Nine on the river and his full house puts him on over the magic One Mirrion chips.

Any rough idea how many golden chips in play?

That about sums it up.

Ah.

Now isn't the best time to ask.. it was Jack who had the AQ against Frankie's full boat.

Jack on about 250K.

Simon Trumper has just busted at the hands of Mr Lee.

Mr Lee flatted with Aces and happily called Simon's button shove, when he found pocket queens.

Jack Hoyle got it in good with top pair on a queen high board, and was happy to get called by pocket nines.. until a nine appeared on the turn.

I'll have a scan of the room but Nicola has the info in her computer, so til she arrives I can't give you an exact count.

Funny way to put it.... lol

Okay Jon's had a quick head count for Golden Chips and he thinks at least 29 from the 43 players left.

Twenty minutes left at level 19, short break after this and then coming back to 6/12K blinds for the next level.

Come on Chippyman.

Is he a golden chippyman?

I don't want to put Commentator's Curse on him so will say nothing...

PS Happy Father's Day to you Jase x

Nobody I would love to win it more than this man. Gogo Frankie

We're not sure, but we know it's raining chips on his table so maybe we shall call him Golden Shower man.

frankie proberly like a golden shower

I thought they had to be displayed, the golden chips that is.

Confirmed by text just now that Chippyman does indeed have a golden chip. It's his time to shine :)

what do the golden chips get this time

Lynne beaumont the last lady standing, she also has a golden Chip.

Folds round to Harnak Singh on the button who makes it 27K, Lynne insta shoves all in from the SB and eventually he folds.

The two younger kids next to her are guessing out loud whether she had nines or tens there.

Lynne just smiles.

Knowing Lynne and her game - a game that often suprises many of the younger players who pigeon hole her - I think they may have had to rethink thier opinion of her range.

Paul Brown also on her table is still going strong with 815K, Mr Lee also there with 1.4M. Chip Leader, but Frankie is chomping at his heels.

last man/woman standing gets a caribian package £6k

They do.

I've just spent ten minutes trying to convince Frankie that I'm telling him the truth but he thinks I'm levelling him and has now put his Golden Chip down his pants. I'm not kidding.

Players now on short break.

Frankie telling anyone who will listen that he was called by ace high. His disgust is obvious.


Mitch is here now, says he is on 260K.

Marc Wright will lol at this one..


Mr Sharp Dressed Man has just wandered over and said to me

"You dress quite well for a he/she don't you?"

any chip counts on the top few?

any idea on who out of the remaining players started on the lowest chips yesterday cause thats who i am going to route for

also any idea on who started with the giant stack yesterday are they still in?

Blonde's Sherrif Fatman bites the dust.

Greek Jack makes it 30K from the hi-jack and Sherriff shoves his 198K in on the button with pocket fives.

Greek Jack calls with Jacks, Sherriff gets up out of his seat.

FIVE on the flop, wit two clubs.

Sheriff sits down again.

Club on turn, club on the river. Greek Jack has the Jack of clubs.

Sheriff stands up, it ain't over til the fat lady sings but in this case it's all over for the Fatman.

I tried to cross reference a few yesterday but it proved very hard going, might prove easier today once we lose a few more. Mr Giant stack yesterday was Paul Brown who is still here, has about 800K.

The ones covered so far are our chip leaders at the moment - Mr Tan Lee on 1.4M, Frankie on 1M, Paul Brown on 800K, Steve Holden about the same.

Common Franky - lets gooooo!!

Ryan Pearson has just taken out Phillip Ring.

Philip shoved with AK for about 11 big blinds and Ryan calls with pocket queens.

Ace on the flop but a queen on the river and Phil is gone. Ryan now on about 850K.

New table for mr Le...
he gets moved to be sat opposite Frankie
"you are too big for me Frankie, please don't hurt me"
About 2.4 mil of the chips in play between them with 40 remaining

is that ryan pearson or rich pearson ???

Lynne Beaumont managed to get Ross Patman to get it all in with her pre flop, his pocket nines looking in poor shape against her pocket Kings.

Unfortunately it wasn't to be as he turned a nine to take her 280K.

Er.. Ryan. as in the name he registered in and is listed in the chip counts in. maybe Rich is his pet name, known only to a select few?

Lol nope last time I checked I was a Ryan,
They is a Richard Pearson who plays out of Leeds tho.

Christophe Auberger eliminates Michael Webber
Auberger now just shy of 1 million
Down to 38 players

Ive just counted Golden Chips and there seems to be 34 out of the 38 players left in.

Afraid to say Mitch is now out
120k in the middle on  Qc 5d 4h
Mitch checks, Greek Jack puts him all in for about 230k
Mitch calls with  Kc Qs
Greek Jack has  Aspades Qd
AQ holds

Mike Lowe opens for 40K on the button.

Bruce Ewan in the BB says he's being picked on as Lowe always raises his blinds.

"How much you got left?" says Bruce.

"102K" is the reply.

Bruce ums and ahs and says " I have suited connectors here you know"

Mike Lowe laughs and replies "What duece three?"

Bruce laughs and folds but assures him he will call blind next time. Big talk from a slightly smaller stack!

Now into Level 21
blinds up to 8k/16k/2k
Average at 500k
36 remain, meaning half these players will get paid

how many get paid

18 with min cash 1,000e

36 / half = 18

has kenny stokes managed to gather any chips yet plz?

What time do you expect the comp to finish Caroline

Some people have asked why 18 players when the website originally said 36.

Apparently it's because DTD in their payout structure pay either 18 places, or 27 being the next jump. We were 4 players shy of qualifying to pay out 27, so 18 it is.

Winner takes home £32,500.

Big up to Paul Brown!!!! He is a good mate.

Also hang in there Booder my son!

This has been the hot topic on conversation all day!

Simon Trumper eckoned 4am yesterday, Jon Gill thinks 6am.

I'm staying positive and rooting for half past midnight.

Greek jack joins the chipleaders
he is now up to 1.2mil

He's on 320K

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-FAJr6tGmhuk/T94WsIPfYVI/AAAAAAAAaKo/y2Ga6xIebJs/s720/017.JPG)

I would have at least expected Simon to get the day right.

Liaquat Javed gets it in on an A62 flop with AJ
However he is drawing dead to the AA of Michael Lowe, eliminating Javed

These comps have a habit of getting won by popular regular locals. Hope this continues. How many portions of fish n chips is £32,500?

Lol Ralph is just toooo sharp

33 players left in, another 16 minutes on this level.

Frankie;s table is full of players all fighting to win.

Booder's table is full of players fighting to stay awake past their bedtime.

let's go and see what's happening on the other two.

The blinds of Ty Wilson and Bruce Ewan go to a flop of  Js Th 2d
Wilson bets, Ewan calls
Turn - 4c
Wilson jams with  2c 4d
However Ewan also finds two pair with  Jc 4s
Wilson eliminated

If Ty Wilson is a middle-aged brummie with glasses he played in the first series of LNP.

The one time we see a walk, it's on Frankie's big blind
"THIS GAME IS RIGGED! ITS RIGGED!"
slams down  Ac Aspades in disgust

Chip stack update for Oliver Allan pls Caroline?

Anon jams with  7h 8h
Mills finds  Ad Ks and calls
Thankfully for him he flops top two, Anon eliminated, down to 30 players

The final will be live streamed?

"Caroline for commentary" I hear you all cry.

That's a hint, people....

Oooh yes please, look forward to it.

But we love your commentaries Tighty

Lol I've already been asked, may well do a stint, perhaps we can have a phone in on the other hot topic here today- Feldman & Trickett - both as bad as each other?

I thought it was a firm of dodgy solicitors

Hiya, Oli on about 420K. Squeezed inbetween Steve Holden and Frankie, he's decided to put his headphones on and pray.

Paul Mason gets it in for 150k with  Qh Jd
Ryan Pearson calls with  8d 8h
8's hold eliminating Mason

We need a little sound of weeping in the back though

Actually he hit his flush on the turn, so I at least got to sweat a paired board on the river.

Really enjoyed playing this comp.  Not sure if the next one will end up quite so deep when it kicks off but it was a fun dynamic to see how people dealt with the varying stack sizes.

Good luck to Martin Mills (if he's still in, as not caught up since getting home), who was sat to my right for most of the time.  He's been reading the updates so hopefully he'll sign up and say hello.

Ross Patman, feeling the cold

Have you fished out Frankie's golden chip yet Caroline?

It's a dirrrty job but someone had to do it, or - if you want a job doing well, ask a woman.

No woman available, so the task fell to me.

Chip now been dusted off and fumigated and is on display.

Players on a 15 minute break
29 players remaining, Average at 626k
Blinds at 12k/24k/3k when we return

Haven't heard much of the online chip daddy Paul Brown? Still a big stack?

As him why he is called Frankie and not Chin?

Well yesterday he literally didnt play a hand for about 5 levels, then when he did he would limp in and check call. That's not a criticism of his play by the way, merely an observation. I think he didngt want  to dent his stack too much and just cruise through to today.

He took a couple of hits but is still patiently waitiing for premium hands.

To get so many chips online I'm having to assume he must have been running like God in the weeks previous online qualifiers, or there is the possibility admin messed up and sent the qualifiying email to Paul in error?!

He just isn't getting involved now. I spoke to him earlier when Tan Lee was chip leader and Paul said it was irrelevant at this stage who had all the chips, as long as he had them all in the last hand...

Top Nine payouts:

1.     £32,500
2.     £19,000
3.     £11,400
4.     £ 8,000
5.     £ 6,000
6.     £ 4,500
7.     £ 3,500
8.     £ 2,500
9.     £ 2,000

We're back from the break.

We have another contender slowly creeping up the rails from the inside - it's Blonde's OldGit, who is now on over 1 million.

I actually think this is where his investment is working against him. He has to make final table to recoup the money he spent he needs prob 5th at least to pay off the effort.

So maybe he is playing a bit scared (wierd thought process I know).

Seider been fairly quiet today
that is until now, finds a double up through Lee Cockroft
walks his  Ad Ac into  Kd Kc
Cockroft down to about 200k

what's his name please? pic?

good luck to him, from a site of oldgits to another

What's easier for u?

he runs so good, check his legs I swear I saw an Ace printer yesterday

Frankie, I think I love you....

David Baker update please.

Steve Holden has busted after running his pair and flush draw into Patman's bigger pair. Steve had 600K, Ross Patman now has 2.1Million.

Chris Moore shoves 200K with  5s 6s but runs into A J in the big blind, held by Seth Webber.

Down to 26 players now on three tables.

Chin is easier for me. Get this won and that Caribbean poker package too

Booder on 350K.

OldGit is Bruce Ewan.

Bruce says he has been taken out of the last two tournaments here by Greek Jack.

Two minutes later Bruce is moved to Greek Jack's table.

Hmm.

On about 1.2M now.

Is that tournament entries or net investment?

How many left?
Ave chips?
What's the top chip stack ?
Thanks ...doing a grand job ....5am finish my bet if we still on 20 odd players

to be fair i had him on my table and he seemed extremely pleasant, he made it quite clear he enjoyed playing online and trying to build his stack up and was trying a few lives again these days.He was happy to chat away and although he never said as much i got the impression money was not necessarily an issue for him he was just doing something he enjoyed.

good luck to him

Found a few guys who started pretty short yesterday.

Willis Marrow (still working up the bottle to have some fun with this name) started on 33K, now on 300K.

Mike Lowe came in with 43K and is on average with 600K.

Ryan Pearson started with 35K and is on about 500K.

Definitely rooting for these three, they've not been involved in many monster pots or been gifted chips, simply grinding their way forward.

You're not kidding. He was the only one not refused entry into the aforementioned 'titty bar'. We then went to Alea where he gave a first class demonstration of money to money playing casino brag. I cut short his fun by being ejected from the casino. Hahaha

3 to a flop, 80k in the middle it comes  4d Jd Kh

Mills bets 75k, Burghardt folds
Tan Luan Le to 200k, Mills to 500k, Le shoves for a 664k total, Mills has to call off

Mills -  7d 3d
Le -  Kd Kc

"Pair up!" Shouts Le

 6h, Qc does the trick for Mr Le
Mills still in but short, Le on 1.4mil

To be fair... no one said he wasn't pleasant!

He's a lovely guy to talk to, really friendly and having fun, I totally agree.

I just wonder though, why you would spend so much - whether money is an issue or not -  to not then use that monster stack to it's best advantage from day one in a tournament unlike any other, where you have started with a massive advantage to every other player in that game?

He's now blinding down and is on 450K which is getting towards HALF the average stack (698K). 26 players left in and 18 cash. Thoughts?

How do you know what Paul has spent?????

It was posted somewhere on yesterday's thread as far as I recall. Plujs I wouldnt think it too hard to work out if you know how many games he played and how much the entry was.

Stokes update please?

It's the "chipleader" tourney you wallyxx

You had to win the chips online playing SNG's @ €3 a pop for the last three months.

Martin Seidler chip count sat next to him yesterday really nice guy, and rotty too!!!

Rob Ward now out
tried to get frisky with his 300k stack on a  Ac Js 5h board with  6d 5d
Unfortunately his opponent, Mills had  Aspades Jc
 Jd on the river leaves Ward drawing dead,, down to 25

Did you win any money or was it just chips. Been out of circulation Ralph me old mate.

He's on 750K.

Chip leader is Ross Patman with 2.2M, Greek Jack 2nd with 1.7M. Tan Lee back up to 1.3M.

No you had to build your entire stack playing those itty-bitty SNG's and then bring them all to the live event.

I think there's a thread about it on the front page.

Olli Allen

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D7PX6DV3V6U/T94z2GQk_aI/AAAAAAAAaMA/Qrihu4d5xLc/s720/025.JPG)

I spent about £1400 according to reports

There was also MTT's but most players tended to play the STT's or the two table ( 20 players) STT

Bruce old git Ewan is another true gent and I think was coming into this as one of the top 3 chip leaders. Really suprised me as I expected all the chip leaders to look more like Dave Nicholson and Dan Morgan. Instead they look more like Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.  This seems to have been a great comp played in a great atmosphere.

couldn't be any more spot on
Plenty of friendly banter around all the tables, not just one or two
Plenty of players who busted today and yesterday gave great feedback, saying they would love to play this again some time soon

If Kenneth Stokes wins he's going on a open top bus tour around Nottingham. Will confirm locations and times later. Expect the streets to be busier than when the Olympic torch visits.

On a flop of

As 8d 4c

Ross Patman bets 60K.

Patrick Simcoe goes all in for 507K.

Ryan Pearson thinks for a while and then says all in, got the previous all in covered 2:1 in chips.

Patman doesn't even stop to think and folds.

Ryan has A4 for two pairs, Simcoe is behind with A9 for top pair only.

The turn is a queen.. and so is the river, killing Ryan's flopped two pair and giving Simcoe the upper hand in every way.

Ryan is Rhino on Blonde, unlucky mate.

Pearson then gets it in with  6c 6d against a button raise
Oli Allan on the button finds  Ad Ks
 Kc is the 2nd card out, eliminating Pearson
This takes us down to 24, getting ever closer to the bubble

Massive + 1 - I will be playing this next time. I think maybe some people didn't get the concept or were scared of something new, but I reckon the next one will be massive.

..not close enough.

Anyway. I think it comes down to why you play the game. For me the game will always be like a good night out at a restaurant. Some nights I might spend a few quid at Domino's. Some nights I spend a few hundred quid somewhere nice.

As for Paul Brown. His money, his life, his chips, his choice. I hope he wins it because it will irritate all those who think the only reason to play is to maximise a return. Maybe he just wanted to arrive as chipleader and has a suitable bankroll.

The return on the meals the following day was exactly the same.

Hows Frankie doing? Cheers

Tan Luan Le or Franky please take this down.
Haven't seen who else is in. Ship it.

Awesome. I love seeing you playing poker. Your game must of improved as you are talking about using your big stack and discussing Lynn Beaumont's range earlier. By the way chuck this is not her range

(http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab297/osbaldwick/DSC00038.jpg)

i'll drive

I was on his table yesterday from the beginning and he was very nice guy. At first I was abit wery if him as he worked the room and I thought oh the guy thinks he's awesome but ten quickly realised he had been playing so many sngs he must have chatted alot to alot of the people ad he was just interested who was who and he said he was really enjoying playing live again. He made alot of good laydowns against me when in theory he should be doubling me up as I only started with 20k however he played his 680k like he had 20k tough to get chips off.

I guess now the blinds are catching up with him and he needs to adjust but very best of luck to him, very nice guy and hope he gets 2nd behind the CHIPPYMAN!!!! Goooo Franky!

Oh and for the record, he thinks he spent about £1460 on the comp but he played a few MTTs with his initial depost and won abit so he says in reality he's only in for just over £200.

Harnak Singh all in for 240k with  Kc Qc
David Baker calls with  Ahrt Jh
 Qd on the turn, full double for Singh
Baker left with about 200k

im rooting for ross

Now out unfortunately
in with 66, called by A10
A10 wins

About 650k

So we're all in agreement, Paul Brown is a top fella.

Paul is currently blinding away on 350K.

Same return as Snatiramas's meals.

I happened to be watching my daughter play netball today and couldn't think of another game where when you got the ball you had to stop running!!!

He's still leading the way, playing a strong, aggressive game from what I've seen.

I looked him up on Hendon mOb and he has zero live results, he confirms that is correct. Do you know if he's an online player?

Break time:

21 players left in, av stack 825,863.

Next Level 25 Blinds 20/40K ante 5k.

80k from Sobecki
An All In from Seth Webber for 337k
Mark James tanks, eventually announcing all in, Sobecki folds

Webber -  Qh Qs
James -  9c 9d

 9s is the 2nd card out, Webber walking out before the river is even dealt which brings no help

Ross Patman tells me he only really plays a little online at DTD and has only played here, plus a couple of UKIPTs. He says he's a recreational player who has previously ran bad.

That may well be true but I have a feeling he's been studying the game because he seems pretty confident and is comfortable making a few moves.

How is Martin Sieder doing ?

trying not to disturb him too much with texts :)

Well I wont be irritated if he wins, I want him to, I believe that persistence and hard work should pay off, so good luck to him.

He's struggling a little on 350K, desperately needs a double up.

Thanks :)

Can i have a chip update on our Ken Stokes please.

Pic/Name of the bloke that started with 650k or was that yday?

 

Because of the format everyone arrived at the live event with a different size chipstack.

This guy arrived with an absolute monster-stack more than double the size of his nearest contender I believe.

It's only natural that some people would wonder how much he invested both in time and money to amass such a stack compared to their own. It doesn't reflect badly on anyone the way I see it.

As far as I can see, we only have five players left in without a Golden Chip.

They are Marrow, Krys Sobecki, Mark James, Patrick Simcoe and Paul Barradel, none of whom have a Chip on display at the moment.

The other 16 players are all still in with a chance of being the last man standing holding a Golden Chip, which will bag them a £6K Caribbean Poker Package, on top of any cash they win today.

Hi Cos, it was Paul Brown, loads of pictures of him throughout the two days posts. Think he started on about 658K yesterday.

Go Frankie Go.

Has anyone explained the golden chips to snatty yet?

Oh and for the record, he thinks he spent about £1460 on the comp but he played a few MTTs with his initial depost and won abit so he says in reality he's only in for just over £200.



I ran a betting shop for 25 years and none of my customers lost either!!
The biggest mug punter in the world would still say he's only a small loser, all gamblers are delusional.If he has won a couple of MTTs fair enuf but his Chipleader seat has still cost £1460

You can have that pleasure.

Krzysztof Sobecki all in for 500k with  Ad Ks
Mark James calls with  Ahrt Ac
Aces hold, Sobecki eliminated
just two players away from the money as 20 remain

Lee Cockroft announces all in, Frankie tanks for ages but eventually folds. Big Blind Mike Lowe jokes that he's thinking about it and flips over 4 5.

Cockroft says he was massive, and then shows pocket nines. Frankie looks happy.

Conclusive proof that men CAN multi task.

Lee Cockroft playing poker live and playing on Stars simoultaneously. Oh and smoking as well.

Frankie and Lee Cockroft in a hand blind on blind.

Frankie bets 80K on the turn and Lee picks up his cards again fro another look.

Frankie says: Relax, don't do it.

Actually that's not true.

Frankie says: "I can see your cards you know when you pick them up to look."

Lee: "Can you?"

"Yes" he says "Every hand I can see your cards, that's why every time you go all in I fold, because I've seen your cards. You know when you went all in with nines? I had eights. That's why I didn't call, I saw your hand"

Lee is less than impressed and folds, saying "well why havent you told me before? You should tell me when you can see my cards!"

Lee is actually quite irate but Frankie doesn't let up, then moves on to talking about how many big folds he has made today, asking if he saw him fold AK etc.

The rest of the table are quietly smiling, knowing Frankie is joking, but Lee is looking very unsettled.

Eventually Frankie grants him the royal dispensation and says he will tell him if he can see his cards again.

Play moving really slowly now
20 remain with 18 getting paid, I think the bubble factor is already getting involved

3 hour bubble?

Tell Frankie to start raising more then.  ;D

Come on Chippyman.

We're hand for hand!

Cockroft eliminated in 20th taking us hand for hand
At the same time Harnak Singh opens to 120k
Marrow all in for 355k
Singh calls

Singh -  Ad Td
Marrow -  Kc Kd

First card out -  Ahrt
Marrow looks away in disgust, meanwhile 2nd card out is  Kh
Turn is  Ac producing a sweat but it's not to be

Singh still fairly comfortable, Marrow up to about 740k

time to go Mr Wankie

Tan Lee raises to 100K with one blue chip.

Bruce Ewan "Oldgit" goes all in.

Tan Lee folds and Bruce loudly celebrates getting his first 100,000 blue chip.

I mean Im 6miles away and I can still hear Wankies gob, trumper please remove the man from the building

Please don't be like that, all optimism welcomed

Ok 2hours45mins

Stokes checks, Jack puts him all in for 320k
Stokes tanks and tanks before calling with  9d 9c
Jack has  5d 5s drawing dead

Great big stack poker from Jack here though in my opinion
trying to abuse the bubble, raising almost all hands and Stokes very nearly folded his set

much better! tyty

Kenny Is Great

I know Ross Patman has leaked a few chips away calling raises nto fold on the flop, straight after I said he had a strong aggressive game. Still has 1.7M though

Now on 2M and the chip leader is Oli Allen.

would you be this tight on the bubble?

Thanks Chris, glad to see you took my advice when I Pmd you to try and keep your posts postive and non personal, as you were a new member and I didn't want anyone to think you were being offensive, or heaven forbid, a troll.

Oli Allen opens for 100K on the button.

Paul Barradell ships for 375K total.

Oli eventually makes the call with Kc Js

Paul has As Jc

Flop runs out

6s 8s 10h

Ks

then the 5s giving Paul the nut flush.

However, Paul and Oli had both noted the King rather than the suits and Paul got up to shake Oli's hand, who in turn commiserated with him, until the dealer pointed out Oli had actually lost the pot.

Paul turned to me and said "don't need to mention this hand!"

Paul now on about 840K, still under average but a lot healthier.

Chipcount update for Martin Mills please.

Greek Jack just added 500k to his stack
his 3bet pre got called,, jammed the flop and found no action

about 800k

Thanks

Go on guys!

Kenneth Stokes down to just 90k - 1.5bbs
He gets it in for a 1mil pot with  6d 7d on a  4d 8s Js Qd
However he is drawing dead to the  Td 9d of Marrow

Oli Allen opens for 100K and gets a call from Ross Patman on the button.

Flop 8s 7h 4h

Oli checks and Ross bets 175K. Oli thinks and eventually calls.

Turn 8d

Oli checks and Ross bets 250K, Oli thinks for a lot longer and calls again.

River is the 3c

Oli checks again and Ross then bets 380K.

Ross dwells for ages and ages, is it Hollywood time? Nope, it's folding time and he very reluctantly folds.

Ross immediately asks him if he wants to see, to which Oli nods and says please.

Ross shows 4c 5s and takes down a pot of over 1.5Million.

the Stokes train hasn't come to a halt yet boys and girls
he doubles up the next hand
then on the button jams for 250k
Called by Ewan's  2d 2h
Incredibly Stokes has  Kd Kc
King's hold, up to about 550k - almost 10 bigs

hows your prediction of an 8am finsih looking jonathon?

If one man can turn it around Ken can.

Frankie takes a big hit
Paul Barradell all in with  Qh Qs
Frankie has  5d 5s
Queens hold
Barradell up to 1.2mil
Frankie down to 200k

Unfortunately Ken Stoke couldn't make the comeback.

Finishes in 17th place for £1K.

No open top bus round Nottingham for him.

Folds to Frankie in the SB who shoves.

Martin Seidell shows 3 5 off and folds.

Frankie says "I'm not shovin with nothing innit! I'd like to give you a walk though"

Final 2 tables filled with Internet Whizzkids.

Gutted.

Got an open top bus for hire if anyone needs one tomorrow.

Ewan all in for 150k with  Qd 3d
Jack gets the odds to call with  Ks 5c
King on the flop
Ewan 16th for €1,000

hoping for a big result for me bro mr Le ;)

Thanks Rich - mind you the others are terrible. Just a quick congrats to DTD on a groundbreaking and creative new event. Very much hope they do this again and I think it would stand a bigger guarantee in future. Loads of play, even for the short stacks from the off, well run as always, great structure and good luck to all those left.

Teesside contingent being represented by Mark James and a presumably loud/drunk rail!

Big hand alert, and I'm not referring to my own.

Martin Seidell gets it all in.

Mark James then asks for a count from the small blind. Dealer counts and announces 330K, Mark looks over at big blind Mike Lowe and asks how much he has, Mike pushes his chips forward to show he has about 700K.

Mark James thinks for a bit longer and says "Call", and starts to count out 330K.

Before he's managed to put his chips in, Mike Lowe says "All In" and James snap calls!

Mark James flips over Aces!

Mike Lowe groans and turns over two red tens.

Martin Seidell is way down the line with Ks 3s.

Flop

Marrow, Simcoe and james the only ones without golden chips

Keep it up guys and we may be home before the dawn.

On Tuesday.

No deals remember, we're playing til the death. Any death would be acceptable.

Frankie up to his old tricks, entertaining the masses
to UTG Allan "you gonna raise my big blind? come on 160, I know you are raising"
Allan makes it 160
"you raise me all day, come on"
Peaks down, "all in" for 700k
"come on, I folded to you with AK earlier. return the favour"
Eventually Allan folds
"OK I'll show you a card to keep you happy, wish I could show the 3" and flips over  8d
"Oops didn't mean to show you that one!"

Think thats my fault- entered the building just has he busted #cursed

Frankie all in for about 800k with  Kh Jh
Mark James calls with  Ahrt Th
Makes two pair on the river

Frankie 13th for €1,400

WP Frankie, deep yet again.  ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend;

Blind vs Blind
Mills all in for 400k with  Jh Th
Allan calls with  6c 6d
Mills turns the flush draw but fails to get there

Mills 12th for €1,400

Mark James penalised a round for exposing cards early? Anyone see this and have more info. Round sitout seems like a long time for an honest mistake, but i can't see any other punishment, maybe 3 hands?

Mr Lee makes it 200K on the button.

Patrick Simcoe flats leaving himself about 500 behind.

Flop of 2s As Qs and Mr Lee bets 200K again, Simcoe throws his cards into the muck in disgust.


Next hand Greek jack makes it 190K from the SB, Marrow flats in the BB.

Flop 9c 2s Jh

Jack has a blue 100K chip in his hand before the dealer deals the flop and throws it in after a quick look at the cards out.

Marrow says raises and puts in 350K in total.

Jack stares at him for some time, then picks up chips as if to count the amount out. Marrow leans in across the table and looks at Greek Jack, who decides sometimes it's good to admit defeat, and folds.

Harnak Singh on their table is nursing the smallest stack at the moment.

Pretty standard, in the hand with Frankie, after Mark decided to make the call he exposed his hand with a player still to act after him. Obviously that can affect the remaining player's decision and affect the dynamics of the game so he was penalised.

Has Jonathan played Simon yet?

Wp Frankie. Another good run

Nope, happening another time
Lets get grinding HU sngs all week!

Sounds like standard decision, presuming length is standard too?

BOOM!

We have a new chip leader!

Oli Allen make sit 160K on the button, called by Mark James in the BB.

Flop is 3c 3h - Mark insta checks - Qc

Oli bets 200K.

Mark picks up a large handful of blue 100K chips and splashes them in the pot.

Dealer counts out 1.3M.

Oli then announces "I'm all in" to which Mark snap calls.

Oli has pocket rockets and Mark has pocket change in the form of Ad 3d - he's flopped trip threes.

No money card for Oli and Mark James is now the massive chip leader on 5.1M!

A few choice songs coming from his rail - there's only three of them but they're all built like retired Sumos so it's pretty loud.

It is, TD confims that it was a full orbit, which being 5 handed wasn't as painful as it could have been I guess!

Patrick Simcoe gets a much needed double up after shoving about 3 bigs in with Queen 4 off. Greek Jack calls with Ace 9, but a four on the flop gives Patrick another chance.

Chip leader Mark James, final tabled at two GUKPTs a couple of years ago but not much info otherwise.

FINAL TABLE!!!


Ross Patman open shoves with K6 and gets a call from Mark James with AJ for about 900K.

No help for Ross and Ace high wins the pot and sends him home in 10th place for £1100.

Final table now being set up, bear with us.

Very top heavy payout?

Great updates btw

He was in MU.


Ok ok Ive amended it :D

Nine players now play on until 8 left and then the action all moves to the live stream table once we are eight handed.

Looking unlikely we will be doing any commentary, mainly because most people will be in bed by 6am.

We will be showing a shot of the table whilst they are 9 handed at http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/live.php
Once we get down to 8, after a short break we will start streaming all the action with a small delay

Funking for tan le.

Please find the comparison photo tighty posted in the deepstack he went deep in xx

#teammrLE ! :)up

Look away now if you don't like sad stories.

Greek Jack makes it 400K to go from the hi jack.

Folds round to Matt Miners who shoves for 700K.

Greek Jack reluctantly calls.

Matt Miners is even more reluctant to show his hand, I think he thought Jack could fold there for less than a min raise.

Eventually He turns over Qc 10c and Jack groans and flips over Qs 8c

Flop

3c Kc 2h   

It's looking good for Matt, he's ahead and has a flush draw to boot.

Turn is the As - no change for Matt, still ahead with his ten kicker playing

River.....

8s

Collective groan from the railers

Matt Miners goes out in 9th place today taking home £2000

We're moving the remaining eight players over to the live stream table now.

Go on Girgy, see if you can dig it out for me.

Just got back to Norwich, and I see Will Marrow is upto 2.3m, wish him luck from me and tell to keep it up

Final table chip counts

Chris Goodson   730,000
Patrick Simcoe   920,000
Paul barradell    1,590,000
Nick Harnak      1,095,000
Tan Le              2,145,000
Mark James       5,555,000
Willis Marrow     3,060,000
Greek Jack        3,080,000


Still five players holding a Golden Chip, they are Chris Goodson, Paul barradel, Nick Harnak, Tan Le and Greek Jack.

Can some1 tweet the link to live stream plz.......Johnathan maybe, as i followx him on ze twatter :)
Need something to keep me awake during the grind!

Tan Le doesnt seem to have got the hang of where to put his cards yet.

Luckily he's got Frankie on the rail to keep reminding him.

It's already there, on DTD twitter feed.

Willis makes it 450 UTG.

Blinds are 60/120k.

Nick Singh all in. Willis calls

Willis 99

Singh Ad 10d

7d 4d 4c

Any diamond, any ace, any ten...

But it's not a fairy tale and the board runs out brick brick.

Nick Singh out in 8 th place for £2500

How long will the delay be on the live stream?

Willis marrow now on 4m.

Not surprisingly he gets a walk next hand on his big blind.

Oops.

I forgot about that. 15 minute delay.

In my defence it's been a long day....

Am on me phone :(

has the live stream started to play behind the delay yet? cus all i see is player list & chip stacks.

Should be up now, we're 15 minutes into the level?

ok thanks =)

Caroline

I havent had chance to keep up with updates - but amazing grind from you - -vwp

Can you tell me how the fella who came in as "chipleader" has got on please?

ty ty

He min cashed in 18th place for £1k.

I'm already having the piss taken out of me about the "Devilfish" comment, and you missed out sober

Nice profit for a £5 sng though...

still a 5 min countdown on the stream... lol that would make a 30+ min delay?

Paul B makes it 375K UTG

Mark J calls

Pat Simcoe looks at his cards in the BB and thanks the dealer for keeping him out of trouble, then folds.

Flop 8c 6h 6s

Check check

Turn 9h

Paul bets the same 375K, Mark calls

River 7s and paul checks, looking over at Mark

Mark looks back at him and says all in.

Paul very reluctantly folds leaving himself with just 500K.


Next hand he's on the BB and calls Chris Goodson's shove with A5. Goodson has AK which holds.

Paul Barradel goes home in 7th place with £3,500.

Can't seem to get a good answer as to this one! How about when the next exit hand comes on the stream you post it on here and we can get some idea of what time delay we are working on? Would be appreciated!

Ul.. He was in for £1460..

Nvm, dont like money anyways.

Players on a short break.

Mr Le is a bit stunned to hear his brother is watching, as he's over in Vietnam right now looking after their mum who fell and broke her leg.

He's pretty chuffed anyway, now telling all of the other players his bro is watchin from Vietnam.

Right I've been (hopefully) reliably informed it's a ten minute delay for the live stream. Next update in ten minutes or so.

hahaha.

When are dusk going to do the next Chipleader?

Goodson all in on the button.

Simcoe folds, Tan Le turns over the Ad.

Simcoe says "You're folding?"

"I didn't say i fold" says Tan who then shuffles his two cards and flips over the Ad again saying "Anothher one! I fold aces!!"

Friendly warning from the floor that if he does it again he's in trouble.



Greek Jack make sit 400K on the button, everyone folds and he shows an Ace.


Tan Lee all in on his button, both blinds fold and he shows pocket nines.

No date set as yet but keep your eyes peeled on Blonde for news, it will be coming back, bigger and better!

Willis Marrow's son is here railing him.

However since the barman told him shots were only £1.05 he is in danger of providing a horizontal rail.

Mark James' rail has gone quiet. Two of the larger guys had a very noisy flatulence contest, then a noisy argument about who's round it was, followed by a chorus of "T*ts oot sausage roll, come on and give us a go"

Like overgrown children, I think they've over tired themselves.

Orly didn't realise that when I said that...

Stream down for me

Edit: back up just in time for a monster pot. Mark make the call? huge jam

same here

Wow.

This is maybe a bit of a controversial one.. but I will stay impartial.  In this scenario more than ever, trust me.

This is how it started..

Mark James raised to 450K.

Greek Jack made it 1M to see a flop.

Mark called.

The flop was 6h 2c 2d

Jack announces all in.

Mark's lone railer waves his other railers over from the bar.

Mark just told Jack what he had and why he thought it, still tanking though?

Okay here's the controversy.


Greek Jack lifts his cards to check them again.

Three of Mark James' railers are standing around Jack who is seated at the furthest end of the table next to the barrier.

One of his railers lifts his hand and makes a motion near his own head, behind the TD's back, who catches it out of the corner of his eye and turns round to the railer, and warns him not to signal to the other players. A brief discussion goes on.

Mark James then says 2 I had you on AK all day long Jack mate, how much is it again?"

The dealer confirms it is 4 million, which, if James makes the call, will leave him with less than 1M in chips and possibkly cost him £20K if he's wrong.

Mark calls

No help for Jack who indeed has AK, and Mark James' pocket Jacks hold.

Greek Jack is out in 7th place for £3500

He tanked for ages, over 4 minutes I think. We're trying to keep with the live stream delay so no spoilers please sir ;)

Greek Jack is absolutely fuming, as he feels the signaller saw his cards and signalled to his mate what Jack had.

Live stream and cameras being checked at the moment.

Nitroll from Mark, :) Only messing mate, great call. Presuming the controversy is a misunderstanding, and nothing serious or a lot more would be occurring right now. Will remember spoilers :)


Could be brutal if something is found, especially as Mark looked well on the way to calling before anything occured. I know the rail personally here, at least most of them, and doubt they would do anything like this

well from what u wrote caroline before the call or after says alot

##Mark James then says 2 I had you on AK all day long Jack mate, how much is it again?"

The dealer confirms it is 4 million, which, if James makes the call, will leave him with less than 1M in chips and possibkly cost him £20K if he's wrong.##
had or have...

At the end of the day it's up to him to make sure no-one can see them, however doesn't excuse cheating if indeed it turns out there was some kind of signal.

whos reamaining with a golden chip please caroline

Is the guy in seat 1 going to play a hand or just get blinded away lol? He's a bigger nit than me!

As I said, it's certainly controversial.

I'm not going to name the person who was accused of signaling as it wouldn't be appropriate. Looks like it's being dealt with at the momengt and the rail have been removed.

I'm sure DTD will on this if neccessary, but all I can do is tell you what happened rather than what I think happened.

To confirm, I was standing next to the railer and to the TD, behind Greek Jack and Mark James made the comment after the apparent signal, while the TD was warning his railer.

All of them apart from Mark James and Willis Marrow I think, will check.

Double up for Simcoe who shoves two hands in a row, showing 5 high the first time.

Next time he gets a call from Mark James who has Ah Ks.

Simcoe stands up, his Js 8s not looking in great shape.

Flop is boom boom boom three spades!

Simcoe starts to shout "No more!" as one more spade kills his flush and James will win.

But the hand holds and Simcoe doubles to 2M +

We've lost the lovely Mr Lee who shoved his short stack in and missed every out.

He's now out in 5th place for £6,000.

This means we have a winner of the last man standing Golden Chip promotion!

Chris Goodson, who hasnt played a hand since last Tuesday wins the 6K Golden Chip promotion!

Tan made a fold with a tiny amount of chips right? with the antes close to a single big

Mark fold 33 4 handed??

Really enjoyed Chipleader, just got back to Colchester in Essex. Well played to all the guys... was some really good poker being played. Thanks again.

Sorry but we didn't get that one so can't say.

Good! see you at the next one.

b4 i left , i tapped at greekjack to bcareful because there r a few people behind him r friend of the guy on seat6,
everytime he lift his cards i can c them!!! i did warned him b4 i went home.
i am not accussing the people gave signal but u dont know.
nite nite

The isuue with the signaling hasn't finished.

Rob and Simon now involved. One of the railers tried to return to the same spot and was moved away again, and now one of the doormen has moved in from outside. It's causing a bit of a sour atmosphere but as the railers are pretty tanked up they don't seem to want to accept they can no longer rail.

caroline,
sorry for the jokes that i make on u.
u know i LOVE U lotsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..


c u soon xxxxxxx

Sick dynamic with the golden chip bubble. I love the idea, but it worries me a promotion effectively changes the play so much. ICM wise the correct ranges must change a shit ton here

Clearly pished.







I love you too lol xx

I look forward to initiating you to the delights of the he/she world...

Willis Marrow raises to 1.1M, Marks James already in for 240K in the BB calls.

Both players check down the board of 8h 10c Jc 8d 7d

dealer asks for showdown and both players look at each other. Willis eventually turns AK and James folds.

Half way though level 33 Blinds 120K/240K ante 30K.

Ironically the current ante is equal to Willis Marrow's staring stack yesterday.

Just started the 3bet hand, mark opens to 650, Willis 3bets to "1m" made to be 1.06m i think, checked down as reported. Just hit showdown on stream

Patrick Simcoe jams all in with QJ off, called by Chris Goodson in the BB with pocket 4s.

Flop 5 A 4.. turn is a 10.. Simcoe calls a King... but the poker Gods have gone to bed now and the river is a 6.

Patrick Simcoe out in 4th place for £11,400.

Thank you. I'm guessing we don't have too many watching at this time but hopefully no massive spoilers for them!

come all Will, you can do it win this comp

Yeah, come on Will. Nice guy

7.6k flip, got to love tournies! Willis has played very well, even opened into jack, which certainly takes balls when he had Q4o and 23o!

And we are Heads Up!

Chris Goodson gets it in with pocket tens against Willis Marrow's KQ

Queen on the flop and Chris is on his way home.

Chris Goodson goes out in 3rd place for £11,400, plus a £6K Golden Chip Caribbean package!



Players now going on break while we sort their stacks and get them some matchsticks to keep their eyes open.

Heads up Chip counts - Willis has 10.2M and Mark James has 7.1M.

One of the drunken railers have been sick outside the front door.

The doorman went to have a word with him, they sorted it and the railer went to shake his hand.

The doorman recoiled in horror and said "mate you've just been sick outside, no offence but I'm not sure where you're hands have been!"

pmsl

One hand into the HU and it's a monster.

Willis limps in and James checks to see a flop of J 6 7

Willis bets 1M, whic James raises to 2M. Wills calls.

Turn is the 4h

Wills bets 2M and Mark says allin.

Wills thinks for some time, Mark talks as if he's trying to induce a bet, saying WEillis has enough fold equity to get away from it etc, it works and Willis makes the call.

Mark james has two pairs J 7 while Willis is drawing dead with 7 9.

HU is bizzare

"Oh you have two pair? Oh.. NH"

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LQeyJsDG7jg/T96fmSHc45I/AAAAAAAAaOw/Bkq6G1f53uo/s720/016.JPG)

slightly in front still, not that it matters to me! Teesside rail has some erm, interesting chants, fantastic poker community in the N/E

wd dtd and bloggers, i think the tournament is fantastic but the railers r a bit disgusting,

Of the 18,169,000 chips in play Mark james now has 16,185,000 of them.

Mark declares all in and Willis folds 32 off.

Mark says "Is that a call?"

Willis laughs

Mark laughs and says "I was shXXting myself then mate, we were chopping that pot!"

Now now Frankie. They may have over active thyroids.

No truth to the rumour they are known collectively as Lard Boys On Tour.

Willis all in from the BB after Mark limps in. Mark calls

Willis has  pretty much one live card with K 4 off, while Mark James has pocket sixes.


Flop is

3 J 3....

Turn is an 8....

River is a Queen.

No help for Willis and Mark James wins the Chipleader comp!


Willis Marrow takes home £19,000 for second place

Mark James wins the Chip Leader for £32,000!

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5vdU23lXgPA/T96jpjV8exI/AAAAAAAAaO8/K6L593W6Csg/s720/019.JPG)

Well played both, maybe some tiredness seeping into the HU, but no surprises there. Congratz mark!

Great result for him. Thanks for the thread rail! This one ran a little bit late for most, but good to know someone was still there.

Incred work Caroline.

Did u let Frankie tickle your balls in the end....?

Great updates well done and thanks

Yep. Tickled his tonsils.

Give my love to your famous brother x

I've just got home after a 2 hour drive sponsored mainly by Red Bull, Benson & Hedges & Orange Aeros, to find a hole in my bathroom wall, plus all of the towels soaked wet through. My daughter is safe though.


Until she wakes up.

WELL DONE MARK! YEAHMAN!!!!!! :))

thks for updates caroline, gud job . really enjoyed it :)

Thanks for a mammoth effort Caroline and Jonathan.

Review, and plans for a September event

http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/news/chipleader-winner-turns-average-stack-into-32500/2244

I would just like to thank all at DTD for a great tournament and Mark for beating me in the Heads Up he is a great guy and a very good poker player.
Unfortunatley I ran out of time hence the fast HU I had to be at my desk by 8am in London so I got home showered and straight out to work I got to bed around 6pm absolutel;y knackered.
But again Congratulations Mark you deserved it.
Thanks to DTD great tournament.
Thank you for some of the kind comments and supprt I received it was very refreshing.
Including Blonde but those hands could have sorted my back out !!!!!
A very happy Bill
