Swwetman,Lint, Amos and Malik have CPP Golden chips and need to finish top 8 to scoop a Caribbean Package

Amos finalled Grand Prix VI, too so is going for back to back final finishes


Blinds are 40-80k I believe and David is straightinto the big blind, so the first level is very crucial for him.


Good luck all blondes.

gl Dave Amos, Bedi, and Mark Lint,

Too many heros for just one day. David and Ben for top 8, PJ to get out of makeup and get Alex a morale boost...... But more than anything George, Terry and Rastafish 3 handed on the live stream would just be nuts

When it reaches an 8 handed final You can watch the final table streamed live here - http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/live.php

Want half the field to win!

Peejay the most though :P

Gonna be on the rail from 3 :)

See how many blonde members are in the final few?

Just goes to show, Wayne Bentley was right. CREAM ALWAYS RISES

Especially when the field was so packed with "social players"

GL Guys!!

Hope PJ do this HU with Terry ( got done % in him). PH good lad
and do r rest of the field. Gl everyone

yes gud luck every1 with that golden chip!! ;)

go on rastaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Go on The Swee!

+1 :)

Come on Rasta .... One time...

But good luck to all playing...

fyp

lol... Okay.. One time every 20 minutes.....!!!!

Win all dem chips, Ben, you ridiculous man.

VBOL to (in no particular order) Terry, PJ, George and the man himself, Monsieur Rastafish.

Good luck to all that's left especially George and David..

Excellent work.

Best of luck to G2L today would be great to see him take this down.

Would love to see PJ win this.George,Terry and Rasta Fish of course but PJ for the win.

It's George & Shelley's sixth wedding anniversary today.. would  be nice to take this one down as an extra special anniversary present!Shelley is here railing, David Amos has his daughter here supporting him and PeeJay has the eclectic mix of Sean Belton and Pete Linton.  I may well stand with them two to present the tallest railers ever.

Blinds 40K/80K, 10K ante and we're off..

GL to all Blondes!

(http://i1.cpcache.com/product/46469160/dave_the_legend_black_tshirt.jpg?height=380&width=380)

GL to Peejay. Expecting another Rastafish win tho.

Action!!

Riaz Malik raises to 250K with AK, the Rasta pops him up to half a million, Riaz happily ships all in.

Rasta even more happily makes the call with the bullets.

Aces hold and Riaz is out in 11th place, first hand of the day.

Totes ridicc

Boom!

David gets a double..

Ships his 510K in on the SB with the mighty Q 8, gets the call from the BB with 4 6. Queen high is good enough and he lives to fight another battle of the blinds.

Just two Golden Chips now left in play, David Amos and Mark Lint.

Yes I believe so. I fail to see the relevance of horse racing here though.

Ben Sweetman has a golden chip too, right?

Alex Goulder now turned up for the ridicuolously tall people rail.

I'm in my element.

He is single now. Right off for carvery while it kicks off :)

Just confirmed this is correct, my apologies!

Played Dem Aces well... Come on Rasta.... (And team Steve  :) )

how nany chips rasta on ??

Mark Lint is a local Gala player.

Poker obviously, not Gala Bingo.  He prefers Mecca.

Totally nice guy, would probably be the first to admit he plays for fun, but I think he's finding the length of the comp a little tiring.

He's on the big blind on his five handed table.

Dealer asks for his BB as he starts to deal, and has dealt the cards, followed by an insta all in shove from short stack Mistry, before Mark has managed to figure out which chips he needs to put in for his blinds.

He's still counting it out when the dealer points out there is a player all in. Mistry is sat directly to Mark's left, with his stack clearly over the line and he says "Oh, someone's all in?"


He then open folded an Ace, which makes me think Mark has already packed his mankini for the Caribbean in his head.

Just under 3 million.

very best of luck George.

May join the incredibly tall people rail if the final takes a while. One timeee

greats updates

Rasta fish and Gaz Howard in the blinds.

They see a flop of

6d Jc 6c

Gaz bets 240K, Rasta calls.

Turn As

Gaz bets 430K. Rasta thinks a little longer, then calls.

River is 7c

Gaz makes a bet of 1.3 million... Rasta calls with little hesitation.

Gaz declares "just a Jack"

Rasta flips over Kc Qc for the flush and takes down a big big pot.

Mark just come back fro China, a bit minged out

Someone has been been to designyourownTshirt.com

Double whammy!

We lose two players, one each table at the same time!

Mistry gets it in with pocket 5s and gets a call from PeeJay with As Js

Board runs out

7c 2c 9s     10s      8h

Peejay binks the river to send Dipesh Mistry home!

On the other table, Rasta raises it up with pocket tens, Gaz Howard ships 1.6M with A6 but fails to hit after Rasta calls. Tens hold and we are down to the final table!

well done Mr Amos, incredible 2ft

Yeah, good work Dave. TID mate.

what time will the final  table feed start then please

sod Edingbrugh next week mate

Wohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So chuffed for Dave.

WP G2L as well.

Legends x

EIGHT BALL

Peeeeeeeeej tho!

A short break and we will be back with photos of the eight remaining players, plus chip counts.

Blondes still in are David Amos, still tightly holding his Golden Chip with a big grin on his face - this is his SECOND Golden Chip win, meaning he now has a massive TWO packages to the Caribbean, courtesy of DTD. Peejay, rastafish, George2Loose are also flying the flag for Blonde.

Mark Lint and Ben Sweetman have also qualified for a 6K Caribbean Poker Package simply by getting to the final table while holding a Golden Chip.

Go on the Swee!

Well done to all 8 finalists. Great final table assured.

Quick chat with Keith Jones, who asn't really featured in many hands, but he says himself, he got chipped up early on and apart from a couple of decent hands late on yesterday, he hasn't had a card to play with, and when he does someone generally has made the move before him.

Keith was a pretty regular DTD player last year, but has been having a break. Nice to make your comeback on the Grand Prix Final table!

rasta v george hu .can see it happening again.

Chip counts in order.

The question obviously, not Rastafish.

What a sick final table full of regs. and favourites.
Good luck to all!! Sickos!

Wow, they all look so happy!

Anyway, I saw this & thought of you, Dear Lady Updater.

Because it is your name, obv......and because only you may be old enough to remember it.


(http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o541/tikay2/Caroline.jpg)

Good Luck, George, Rastafish and all of the finalists. WP all

Nice that they're all texting each other.

"If I don't win, I hope you do"

"You hang up"

"No you hang up"

greats updates as always caz

Bedi and Peejay to chop it HU.

gl all blondes

Gota feeling Mr Jenkinson is gona bink it, deserves one tbh. Good luck buddy!
By the way, pretty sick the stream starts early in the day. Who needs the Olympics??

What are the blinds? 40k/80k?

50k, 100k now. :)

is there any way u can get the picture full screen

no commentators?

I have no idea about getting the picture full screen, hopefully someone on Blonde will know?

Thanks Tikay.. think I was actually named after that boat. Must be a joke there somewhere.


Loads of faces on the rail, Jakally is here looking buff in his tight t-shirts, trying to keep up with the kids. Maria Chili is on the vodka, and has overtaken the kids there already.

The kids include Sean Belton and Alex Goulder, the latter disturbingly playing "Shag, Marry or Kill" with the remaining 8 MALE players.

So Jason, when you said Alex was single, you didn't actually mention which side he batted for?

Wadey & Chippyman are here - it really isn't going to be a quiet day.

there some gud play on the f/t today

Peferct final for you to update Caroline. Plenty of characters. and Peejay.

Thanks for the updates Caroline  

They're all still in the comp!

Jakally was asked but apparently he's busy, donating in the Super 50 in half an hour.

Alex G won't do it without someone to hold his hand, so we're going to see if there's anyone hanging round the Gents for him.

Could auction off the co-commentators seat.

PM me the reserve price?

Lol. I'm too drunk to commentate but if Maria has one more vodka coke she'll come in with me.

Mitch and keith coming in later to do it

The Johnson Bros. talents know no bounds.

Wadey spends day at DTD shocker :)

Absolute COOLER alert!

big hand know

Nice spot for ACES!!!

First real peice of action.

Ben Sweetman raises UTG.

Keith Jones wakes up with his first hand of the day and makes it 700K.

Action on to Paul Jenkinson, who announces "ALL IN"!!


Back to Ben who makes the call, which puts him all in as well, for 1.7M total.

Keith puts his head in his hands, obviously put in a very tough spot.

He eventually folds, and PeeJay flips over Aces, unsurprisingly, with Ben Sweetman holding pocket Queens.

Despite Pete Linton's cries of Ace! Ace! the dealer straight away puts a queen out which holds for Ben to keep him in the game.

Keith Jones had pocket tens, so losing just 700K there is about the best result he could have hoped for.

Nice spot for a spoiler

So sick.

So fkin sigh

Keep going Peejay.

GL George, TID

Keith Jones is crippled by PeeJay after he opens with Ace Jack, and calls PeeJay's shove with Ah Kh.

Flop runs out

4h 3h 4c

Pete once again starts to shout for the heart. After calling for an ace last time and pulling the Queen out, Peejay seems dubious about the railing powers of Linton, and sure enough, no heart on the turn or the river.

However, no Jack either as it finishes rag rag and Peejay is back on close to 3million.


PeeJay has discreetly asked Pete to shout for his opponent next time, to see if he can bok them instead.

right hand click select toggle full screen

Peejay is now officially out of make up.

Alex has ordered another vodka and coke to celebrate.

Quick reminder

Remember the 8.30pm €10 Rebuy satellites start online tonight for next weekend's DTD £200 Deepstack, £100,000 GTD

It's ok, Rastafish has assured me he won't win next weekend. you all have a chance.

traid that not working for me but tar anyway

Terry Fletcher plays his first hand of the day, making the call after Mark Lint pushes his blinded away short stack over the line.

Mark has A 10.

Terry has QQ

Dealer of death bangs out a ten, followed by another ten, then three bricks to double Mark up.

not c that yet

Your really ahead of the stream Caroline! lol. It's like time travel.

She's guessing the lag on the stream

Help her out by telling her how far she is ahead please, and then she can align as much as possible

just seen tha a10 qq hand

Hope G2L takes this down come on George.

Linton is such a legend. Abs love him!

what did i miss there down to 7

Sorry, conflicting theories here on how long the delay is.


Terry Fletcher, a local cash player, seems to have acquired a rail of his own, mainly made up of other bum hunters cash players. He has about 3.5M chips right now.


 

sorry miss count lol

Someone taking a wee is only thing you missed. Still 8 players.

You can tell George Bedi watched the stream from the last final table he was on. Proper picking on Rastafish.

It's Miss Cougar actually, but apology accepted.

but the fish is getting the better off him

To help me align times, let me know when TD announces last hand then a break please.

I can then hopefully post at the same time as the live stream plays out.

There speaks a young lady who knows the importance of timing.

Gay boy... How the f**k u love a dude ? Yukkkkkkkkk
#WhatALife

Keep trying.

I already told you, you're not in my age range. Grass on the pitch stops play IMO. ;)

We've just been discussing this during the break, looks like the other players are trying to sit back and wait for the inevitable car crash between George & Rasta.

Because its Plinton! Who doesnt love him!

gone on break.

Thank you, so looking like about a 12 minute delay?

I'll try to go for about 12 minutes anyway on the next hand (which has just happened) so let me know, thanks Tommy.

Rasta still chip leader with 6.5M, but George is snapping at his heels with 5.4M.

Next is Mark lint after taking some more chips from David Amos: Mark now on 4.5. Terry Fletcher travelling along on 3.8M, Ben Sweetman with 2.8, PeeJay on 2.1, David on 1.7 and Keith Jones on 1.5.

Restarting now

Keith Jones all in on any unopened pot. Due a caller very soon I would think, particularly after showing J 3 off.

Slightly too quick ;) about 1 minute early :)

your about 2 mins in front

rasta fish just called the all in

Keith Jones gets it in again for 1.7M on rasta's Big blind.

Rasta thinks briefly then makes the call with pocket fours.

Keith flips over 10 7.

Cue shouts of "Hooold the fours""


Board 8 2 3   

Jack

3


Pocket 4s hold for the Fish and Keith Jones from Milton Keynes is OUT of the Grand Prix in 8th place for £2347!

Great updates btw. Well done guys.

that then makes it a ten minute delay? Sigh. I'm going to go back to a ten minute delay for next one.

George eyes up Rasta's chips.

"They will be mine"

"You kno what man, i think i love you", "sigh"

Next player out receives £3,912.

Big jumps between the payouts today, which may continue to slow us down.

dont know about u lot but having some problems getting on dtd to get to the live feed

same here

glad it not just me

Mitch Johnson is here.

He was going to do commentary, but has been waylaid by a big cash game just starting now.

That Lint guy is shuffling his chips weird. He keeps checking by tapping his hand and chips on the table.
Surprised the TD hasn't been called.

I can't get the stream anymore now either.

George raises to 325K UTG, targetting Rasta's Big blind again.

Folds round to the Fish who turns and looks at George and laughs. He then looks at his cards and after a few minutes thought, makes the call.

The flop is 9s 4h 6c

Rasta check calls George's bet of 225K.

Turn 3d and George decides discretion is the better part of valour here, checking down after Rasta does.

No action on the river, the 10c and rasta shows pocket eights to take the pot.

David Amos shoves all in for 2.4m in the hi-jack.

George Bedi announces all in from the SB!

George in great shape with AQ  against David's 10 8 suited.

Dealer duly obliges with a flop of 7 A K, top pair for George.

Turn 10.


River.. 10

David doubles up with 8 10 to over 5M leaving George on just under 2M.

Skill game.

Only just realised Wadey talks like a male version of Catherine Tate when she does that routine of "Did I say that? Did I? Am I bothered? bothered? Am i?"

UL mate suck a sick run out.

ul George

But c'mon David

Full drama queen moment on way

(http://media3.picsearch.com/is?GTTFkZTGjQAb1E0PPOoLGPpDEZcmQXBA_L7_n1_MCP0)

George all in on PeeJay's big blind for 1.8.

Blinds 100K/200K.


Peejay looks at his cards and thinks.

Rubs his arm. Scratches his leg. Rubs his nose. Looks at me - not sure what he thinks I can do to help. Scratches his head. Looks at the clock.

Eventually he says "i know it's only eight big blinds but that's pretty big in this comp"

George is visibly sweating by this time, but eventually Peejay flicks his hand into the muck.


George insta mucks and whips his chips back in case Peejay changes his mind.

No spoilers please on the next big hand... coming up in about 7 minutes.. I think.

would be high five snappign dealer off with peejays hand but it was the "right" fold. gl

great updates, great comp and well played. live feed working fine too here

y can any one still c the live f/t

We have lost a player!


George Bedi gets it in with K10, snapped off by Terry Fletcher holding AQ.

Board runs out 4 3 3 4 2 and George;s final table ends here.

Rupinder George Bedi takes home £3,912, still a decent anniversary present for him and Shelley.

Well played George, got very unlucky when getting it in good previously which, if he'd held, definitely could have seen him go on to take this down.

Wp George. Ul.

Well played George, Hard luck against that 10-8.

great effort

Wp George

Hands?

no ft live streaming for me or anyone else i dont think.vul mr bedi . will it be rastas win yet again?

i only saw  king, as dont have acess to the live stream in here, but hopefully someone can tell you the other one.

know it saying the dtd website is down

Bedi had AK Diamonds.
Peejay folded KQ spades

PeeJay gets it all in with K10 UTg and is snapped off by ben Sweetman holding A 10.

Rail starts screaming a King in, dealer bows to the pressure and pops one on the river to take Peejay back to 2.5M and Tom down to about 6 big bl

still working here

Rasta makes it 500K, 2.5 x Big blind and it folds round to Terry who makes a forward motion as if to grab his chips, then throws his cards in exposing a duece.

Rasta slams his Aces face up and says "I thought you was gonna do it! I was waiting for you"

He has to have had aces, and more importantly, aces that have held, at least ten times over the past two days, MBN.

Haha he even celebrates when everyone folds!

Rasta's a lovely fella

I swear the Monte Carlo's he won when I updated he had 20-25 pairs of Aces, holding every time he got action!

Last hand going into the break and we lose another player!

Tom Sweetman and Paul Jenkinson heads up again after Tom shoves and PeeJay calls.

Tom turns over pocket fours.

Peejay goes to turn his hand over but it lands face down over the line, with everyone shouting "No, don't fold 'em"

Dealer picks them up to turn them over and also drops them face down - the signs are not looking good for this hand!

Eventually we get to see Peejay has Ad Qd. It's a race... until the board runs out

7d 3d 6d ks 10d

Nut flush for PeeJay and Tom takes home £5,477


Chippyman shouting "Laddddeeerrrrr"  all across the card room. Five players now left and we're on a break.

lol ladder

Well played Ben/Tom Sweetman :-)

I've played with him and watched him play many times now and he is definitely much more of a nit than people realise! Because he's so loud - and lucky - people assume he's loose, either way he is a very decent guy. The Grand Prix is the only title he hasn't taken down here at DTD, this could change today!

we3ll my time to go cant c the live feed so i will wait till it goes on line thank u for all the updates u all do a great job

Justice for the AA<QQ earlier :D

@pleno, kq defo fold there.

bahahah sorry!I don't know why but in my head he is definitely called Tom!! I think I've even been calling him Tom to his face, which clears up the reason why he kept blanking me.

have to say Rasta and David are the form horses here again. they are cool as cucumbers. terry and pj are deserving of a decent score tho....who is the other guy?

Unlucky, Ben. Thought you might just bink this after the queens.

Fantastic performance, mate.

been super impressed with David here.

The £200 sat at 8,30pm is going to be phenomenal value guys

An hour to go, 24 registered...20 seats GTD

The sat needs 200+ runners with a rebuy plus each to hit the guaranteed seat figure

plays at local Gala in Leicester Ja, average player, nice guy and a retired Fireman

Lint raises PeeJay's big blind, who promptly responds with an allin.

Lint thinks for some time and shows pocket sevens, much to the apparent surprise on Peejay's face.

Mark Lint on 2.7M. PeeJay on 5.8M.

Peejay had JJ

RastaFish makes it 620K UTG.

David Amos peels from his big blind and they see a flop of

4h Js Jc

Rasta bets 700K and angrily slams his KK down when David folds.

Agreed. Played v solid

These damn nits are gonna have me here til Tuesday.

Rastafish UTG raises 2.5x with KK. Folds to Amos in big who defends with KQo.
JJX flop.
Amos check, rasta bets 700k and Amos folds.

Peejay has designs on Rasta's blind, but Rasta has other ideas.

He calls PJ's min raise and they both check down a board of

Qs 3s 6s 2d 3d

Peejay declares King high, Rasta shouts "King high? King high? Yeah kill em Fish" and flips over Ace high..


Exciting times.

Try and keep up Tommy.

See three posts before.


Have you been drinking?

Caroline the stream is about 13/14minutes behind live action. The King high hand has just seen the flop. :)

Haha I haven't been drinking. I was typing it out and posted it when the hand finished ;)
I was doing hands that didn't get shown down for you.

I will just stop to avoid confusion :)
Sorry.

Have I missed the results of the "Shag, Marry, Kill" debate or have these been teasingly omitted from the reports?

Think kq suited against me with 9 bigs is a snap there

Hmm don't know if I can divulge Alex or Maria's picks, but they did run something in line with my own.

I invented a new category especially for Peejay, titled "Punish", but can say Rasta scored highly in the "Kill" category.

Just kidding with ya Tommy :D

It's ten minutes behind officially.

We just lost another player.. I didn't get the clock time so am going to leave it another five minutes til I post, feel free to post it as soon as it happens if you get there first.

this is Lint...excellent saw caroline say he was a casual rec player. perfect final of anyone to win it.  lots of respect for the fire service

 ::)

I don't know. Call yourself a reporter? I've lost count of the number of times Barry Davies has turned to the expert summariser and said "You would, tho, wouldn't ya?"

Joking aside, keep up the good work!

Definitely +cEV but it's a clear fold there

Edit: GG and blahhh on the big one :(

Golden boy PeeJay opens for 480K, David Amos shoves all in and is SNAP called by Rasta Fish!

PeeJay folds even faster than Rasta called.

David has pocket jacks, Rasta has Ac Kc

Ace in the window and David Amos is out in 4th place for £7,824.

Well played David, great result again!

great performance Dave well done again

Peejay opens.

Terry Fletcher shoves all in on the button and Peejay calls.

Queens for PeeJay

Nines for Terry.

3 10 6 3 4 board, Peejay has reduced Terry to two big blinds and now has over nine million of the 28 million chips in play.

Well played david3103, fantastic achievement to final two of these back to back

Awesome performance David back to back finals and two CPP packages. Well played mate. your diary is gonna explode with hits now. Read my pm before you consider anyone elses begging letters :)

Terry left on the big blind with nothing more than a bowl of rice.

Mark Lint raises it up with K9, terry happy enough with pocket fives there.

Board runs out dry til a nine on the turn to take Terry out of the game.

Terry Fletcher takes home £10,171 in fourth place. Well played.

And then there were three...


PeeJay and Rasta fish with all of the chips and all of the game. Mark Lint plodding happily along in his biggest result so far and more than happy to have made top three, particularly with his Golden Chip Caribbean package securely won.

Interestingly it's also Peejay's biggest cash to date. He has definitely got the game but so far hasn't had the score: all changed now!

Is cambridgealex hyper-ventilating yet?

Let's get ready to rumbleeeee, let's get ready to rumbleeee, get ready, get steady, and rumble...

EVERYBODY RUMBLE!!!!

(PJ and Duncan ref there)

Before my time sorry.

Alex and Jenkinson trying to contain their excitement

(http://www.aca-demy.co.uk/write/simpleimage/49998504419f6-PJ%20and%20Duncan.jpg)

He's actually hiccuping! But I think that may be the vodka.

Peeeeeeej though! Its the Goulden Empires time to shineeee

Chip Counts

RastaFish 13.5M

PeeJay 9.5M

Mark Lint 5M

Blinds 300K/150K, ante 40K

wow AQ didnt feel like a fold.

What did Lint have? AQ the line imo. Having watched the final it feels close.

he had 88.

def close tho

Heads Up!

Mark Lint makes it 700K, from his stack of under 5M.

Rasta calls.

Flop 5d Ad 6d

Rasta checks and Mark bets 1M, leaving himself about 3M behind.

Rasta announces allin.

Long long tank from Mark who eventually says

"Well if you have the ace you win"

Rasta incredulously says "You don't have an ace? what have you got then?"

Mark flips over two black Kings to be greeted with a yell of "YES THE MAN, YES THE FISH, HE DONT HAVE AN ACE!!"

Rasta has Ac 9c, no one is drawing to a flush, and rasta's ace takes Mark Lint out.

Mark finishes in third place, for £12,518 AND a £5K Caribbean package, plus a cheeky rubdown from Fish telling him he should never have made that call there, as he leaves the table.


We are now Heads Up - Rasta Fish vs Paul "PeeJay" Jenkinson, both popular locals with their own railers on hand to keep it noisy.

Short break and we're back.

Fish always has it there!

Nope, the fish defo had Kings.

GL to PJ

Rastafishhhhhhh!

Okay Rasta Fish has over 19M of the 28M chips on the table. PJ has the rest, so it;s just over a 2:1 chip lead for RastaFish.

NO deals, in line with DTD's policy.

Winner takes £27,484 and a trophy that Paul Ho would sell his ass for.

Second place takes £16,430, and a picture of Paul Ho for their mantlepiece.

Really wanted the trophy!!!

I hope u pick a good photo

The site doesnt seem to be working
taking an age to load up

Rasta Fish "Gets lucky" again eh?

finished? can't get onto site...

Pure nit. Nothing lucky bout the Fish, he always has it and if he hasn't, he can fold it.

DTD having some problems wit their own site today, it isn't working for a lot of people. Shouldn't be any problems with Blonde though?

is exactly right.page one of final day updates has limk to live stream.has worked for me and 6 friends who cant get on via dtd site.

Rasta and Peejay are seeing a few flops, rather than too much heavy betting pre.

Nothing too exciting going on as yet, apart from Rasta trying to needle PeeJay, telling him he's done well but now's the time to give it up to the Fish.

Peejay looks unconvinced.

He often has it, more than often, but his speechplay/image is brilliant. Peokle think he's at it, so he gets paid

Yes he runs well, but the cultivation of the image/speechplay is superb, imo

How many of the events that rastafish won did he receive a trophy?

GOGOGO PJ.

RastaFish makes it 1.8M after PJ raises from the SB.

PJ 4 bets, Rasta announces all in, and Pj calls after a moment's hesitation.

PJ turns over As Ks and Rasta shouts that he's in front, turning over pocket nines.

Flop is Jh 8d Qs  PJ's railers start to shout in the ten..

Turn Qh

River... 10h as requested by the rail, to give PJ the straight.


Can he win flips...

PeeJay now chip daddy with 20M, leaving Rasta with just 8m, wounded and very dangerous.

This just proves how good Goulder runs

Peee Essss: Peeeeeeeeeeeeeee Jayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

stream showed pj holding 4s 7s, think i will read the updated cc

Yeah I think this happened last time I was here, the stream sometimes got the hole cards wrong - he definitely didn't have 47!

Wadey is actually walking round with his own food in a tupperware box.

It's possible he has a tent pitched round the back of the club.

Rastafish trying to keep his unbeaten record in monthly HU SnGs here

Both players see a flop of 10c Js Jc

PJ bets 400K, called by Rasta.

Turn 9c

PJ makes it 1M, Rasta calls

River Qh

PJ makes it 1.8M

Rasta thinks for a while and makes it 4M.

PJ looks at him, rasta says "bye bye" and PJ can't fold fast enough.

Rasta shows J 10

Cue the unleashed full on Rasta at his best, or worst, depending on how you view speech play.

Take it down PeeJay, promotion awaits.
GL

PJ definately one of the people that this wont work on. Hes one of the most mentally strong players I know

pj played well, but made some pretty bad lay downs imo.

really hope he takes it down, hes v nice guy and plays real good. obv gr8 for alex too

some of this talk from rastafish is absolutely immense, love it!

Here's a quick sum up of the last eight or nine minutes where Rasta Fish has talked, and talked and talked.


"When the Fish starts to talk you are in trouble. When the Fish starts to talk, someone dies" repeated four or five times, in a deep voice stolen straight from the Lilt ads.

Cue accent change to sarf London "You are in deep trouble whipper snapper. You know whipper snappers? You are in trouble now boy, you are in trouble snapper whipper. When I start to talk, someone dies, and as there is only you here, you are in trouble."

"Give him headphones!" (Welsh accent now) "You have the wrong face for the game!"

Jamaican again "Your face has tails all over it boy! Full of tails! Tails in your eyes, tails in your nose, tails in your mouth"

Railer :" Tails?  Oh, tells.. right."

PJ's rail - "Let your chips do the talking PJ"

Rasta "Yeh let his chips do the talking, then let him do the walking! "

This is non stop, until finally they both get it all in again, but both with AK, chop chop and Rasta Fish forgets his train of thought and quietens down.

I lied about the Welsh accent if I'm honest. Poetic Licence.

does he do requests? I'll take Australian please

At the moment he's doing a good impression of a Tibetan monk after taking a vow of silence.

It's all deathly quiet, PeeJay has taken to turning away from the table with his back to rasta inbetween deals, which I think has thrown Rasta a little. PeeJay is managing to totally ignore his chat, without looking flustered, or without seeming bothered. His whole attitude says "not interested" and Rasta is possibly unused to this total loack of reaction, particularly from someone still wet behind the ears.

Rasta raises, PJ all in. Rasta folds

Rasta raises, PJ all in, Rasta folds.

PJ raises, Rasta all in, PJ folds.

Remember meeting PJ, very passionate about poker and really friendly guy hope the best for him!

Since RastaFish stopped chirping, he's been steadily chipping away at PJ's stack, either pre or on the flop to take back the chip lead. Pretty fascinating to watch them both: When rasta realised he couldn't tilt PeeJay with his chat, he simply stopped using it and changed his mode of attack.

Peejay is a really calm and collected player, certainly on the outside he seems totally unruffled and unfazed by the Fish's aggression.

Just went to C&P an image of a big hand... to give you a little clue.. then got a message supposedly from Microsoft telling me viruses were found on my computer and I need to clean it or it will crash.

Is this for real or like one of those messages that pop up saying I've won a free Ipad blah blah?

Slightly concerned!

Apologies if this is out of time with the live feed but the clock was stopped to give the players a short break.

PJ raises.

Rasta announces all in

PJ grimaces but makes the call, turning over pocket tens.

Rasta has As 9c.

First card out is the 10s   followed by the As then the 4s

PJ has a set but a spade makes a flush for the Fish.

Turn 6c

River Qc

No help!

PJ doubles to 18.4M, Rasta back down to 10M.

Chorus from PeeJay's rail

"You're not singing, you're not singing, you're not singing any more!"

that looks much better if he is a mate

The hand just finished on the live feed and they're sorting the chips from it.

Amazing on the live feed

HES GOT THE HEART

nicceeeeeeee. rasta play actually really good there too, if he sorted his sizings out he'd be really good, especially with his live experience etc

how does he play in early stages etc?

Rasta lets PJ get to a river then makes a chunky bet to take it down.

Rasta raises pre and PJ folds.

PJ makes up the small blind, Rasta announces all in, PJ folds.

Slowly chipping away again.

Colburns herbiemob is so impressive. you gotta respect he gets dem results

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=161375

Pretty sure he's looser with his range early on and pretty aggro.

PJ and Rasta see a flop of Qc Qhh 2c

PJ bets 500K and Rasta calls

Turn is the 5h

PJ checks, Rasta thinks and bets 1M, PJ thinks and then calls.

River is the Js

Pj checks again.

Rasta picks up his chips and slowly counts out 3M, placing it carefully over the line

PJ thinks for ages. He eventually counts out 3M, and two or three times goes to put it over the line but stops himself each time. Eventually he asks Rasta if he has good hand, but gets no reply. "Not talking any more?" PJ asks.

"You're all going to laugh at me if I make this call" he says.

Eventually, after playing with his cips for ages he folds.

Rasta stands up and says "You're a good player son, you just saved yourself 3 million. All your rail thought I had nothing, I have the nuts"

He turns over Q2. Not strictly the nuts, but good enough.

some tank that Pj

some pretty blatant angle shooting from Jenkinson there with his chips, good fold in the end though

someone needs to explain to rastafish what 'the nuts' means ;)

Hope PJ takes this down. It may help him get results with all the talking, but personally I think he pushes into 'classless' territory a bit too much (like celebrating loudly yesterday busting a player) and he can be disruptive to other tables around where he is playing.

I'm sure it helps his results because it would tilt many, but so would constant farting and I don't see too many taking that approach...

Excellent update again Caroline just incase i forget later. only you could get an update coming back with just 11 players and going on this long. Ty

Love the way on the stream, rather than his surname he is listed just as Rastafish

To be honest I seem to often sit at table with people who constantly fart or have breath that smells like farts, so I beg to differ. It certainly tilts me.

Rasta on 13M

PeeJay slightly ahead with 15M

does not compute

how is he angling?

fantastic heads up match, rasta is funny watching from here , prob not so much if u on the receiving end of it, both playing well tho

Yes. Only me.


FML.

Lol, PJs rail is pretty much all people that have been felled deep in comps by rastafish

forward motion intent a couple of times with the 3m stack he had counted out, looking for a reaction IMO

Oh he knows that!

Every newcomer is greeted by name and a knowing smile by the Fish.

Players having a 15 minute break.

Blinds staying at 500K/250K with a 50K ante, as the computer stops at this level!

First hand back after the break.

Rasta makes 1.2M to go.

PeeJay announces all in.

CALL!

On their backs and Rasta has Ac Th

Peejay has pocket fives.

4s Ts   Big cheer from Rasta and his railers

5c ! Bigger cheer from Peejay's corner!

9d and 7s and it's all over!

We have a winner!

Blonde member Paul Jenkinson is the winner of DTD's Grand Prix VII.

Paul, Peejay on Blonde, takes home the winner's trophy and £27,484.

Well, he takes home some of it anyway, Alex Goulder will divert the remainder.


Colburn Tomlin, Rastafish takes away £16,430 and a picture of Paul Ho.

Well done Peejay!

Run better Goulder :D

Thanks to all of the Rail railers! Makes a big difference when doing the updates alone. WP to all of the finalists particularly all the Blondes who made the money, but biggest congrats and definitely well played to PeeJay.

What an absolute BOSS!

PJ has deserved this for a long time. Such a great player and just hasnt had that breakthrough. Has been a looong time coming.

Also cant take anything away from Rastafish. The guy is an absolute legend and keeps on proving his critics wrong. Well played Colburn.

Well played PJ and team goulder. Really was a brilliant finish to another superb comp.

Congrats PJ, nice one, enjoy.

VWP PeeJay, Somehow done the impossible and won the flips vs RastaFish!

Great result vwp to PeeJay and congrats team Posh!!!

ROFL @ Rastafish such a boss and certainly knows how to put up the results wp again!!

My old man was sat at his desk behind me in the office while I am watching the stream, Rasta starts howling when the cards come over and he bolts up to say 'wtf is going on there and who is making all that racket?' :D

gratz to rasta fish who is the real winner by getting a pic of me

Great peej. V happy for you and rasta now confirmed best dtd mtt reg lol

The new Fraser Bellamy....

weeeee

Congrats pj, great performance, vwp. Well done Alex too.


Rasta is an abs boss too, what a hero

Well done PJ. Really pleased for you.

Another sterling performance by Rastafish. Confirmed hero.

thissssssss... +1

Watched it and have to say, Peejay composed himself so well against the torrents of Patios from Rasta-fish and played very well, deserved a win in the end...

Rasta is an absolute legend....

Well done to both...

Thanks to everybody that supported me on here. Also well played Rastafish, it was a long and hard battle but I really enjoyed it and he played really well, so congrats to him.

Well done Mr peejay!

+1

Well done.

and thanks Caroline

11 players returned, 3pm start......quick finish? not for Caroline

Well done, fine updates

more pics? Nick took loads last night

VWD to Peeej (and Alex!). Seemed to play very, very good for the whole of the final, and, for a young guy, his temperament is rock solid.
No surprise to see George knocking on the door again - just needs a bit of luck at the right time, and always like to see The Fish have a good result.

Real feel-good atmosphere @ DTD last night. Everyone pretty made up for the boys.

Enjoyed the Cougar updates, as always, although she did seem to be hanging around DTD for a while after she had finished -I'm sure it couldn't be related to a group of young boys getting on the beer...

Congratulations Peejay, a well deserved winner.

Was truly a pleasure playing the event over the 3 days, had a lot of fun and also my biggest live cash too.

Thanks to Caroline too, excellent updates, despite forgetting my first name :)

See you all at the £200 next weekend.



Ben (Tom) Sweetman.

Sorry if the rail was a bit ott Ben! We were all cheering on the locals / mates and some of us had big financial incentives so apologies if we celebrated too hard when you lost the AT<KT hand and your bust out hand too.

WP Ben - see you in St Kitts.

Alex, the rail did get noisy and it was all in good spirits, but to have a bunch of people standing around calling in your opponent's cards from the start of Day 3 got pretty tiresome.

Ben didb't do any sort of dance or celebration when he binked the Q vs Peejay's AA and didn't deserve to have a bunch of drunks sitting behind him celebrating when it went the other way.
 
HU between two locals, especially when one of them was the noisiest man in the club was always going to be noisy. It also had a lot more of the feel of being good-natured banter.
Earlier didn't feel that way.

If it were me and I was playing in a foreign country vs a local, I'd totally expect to have my opponents cards cheered in and celebrate my opponents doubling up through me. I wouldn't mind at all, because it'd be the other way around in DTD for me.

We're not celebrating someone has bust, we celebrating our friend has doubled up or won a key pot.

good points

celebrating the win is fine

the screaming for cards from the rail otoh..

It's a good job you have never had Celtic on your rail then as he calls in your opponents cards!!

Lol. He must feel a right pollock when they come in and have to see the pain on his mates face if he busts. Sooo funny for Vinny to do this tho :)

very well played PeeJay, cracking result, also vwp to Rasta on a deserved runner up, great atmosphere at the club and a great final.

Don't be bitter....

just read all i missed last nite great updates and well done to the winner a very nice payday

Hi Alex.

I had absolutely no problem with the cheering on Sunday mate, totally understand you getting behind your mate and "horse", so there's no hard feelings harboured here.

To be honest I'd rather the final table of a poker tournament had banter from the rail than conclude in silence with no real buzz.

Also, I'm pretty sure that all of the players and DTD regs I saw on Peejay's rail would have remained as classy as Peejay was in the KT>AT hand and as I was in the QQ<AA hand if they were "at the table".  Thats the important thing to me, I really abhor over-celebrating and berating other's play by players at the table.

Ben is it true you're investing your winnings in a new charity designed to get the new drug Cake off the streets?
