On Shola's right hey?

#tightyneedsabreak

:P

Is it just me or does Tom often look like he's confused about the world around him?

[X] confirmed super genius
[ ] able to walk down the street in a straight line

So we have our first exit

and its Vinodh

"Oh tighty, its a limped pot and I limp on the button with  7c 8c"

already, I feel a sense of impending doom

the flop comes J-5-9 with a club

The small blind bets 800, the big blind and UTG+1 call

I call.

the turn comes the  Ac

So I have a straight and flush draw"

I wonder where this can be headed

I didn't expect to hear what I then heard

"The small blind bets 2500, everyone else passes and I shove"

My mouth may have opened slightly at this point, but I managed to close my jaw of its own accord rather than assist it with my right hand. An achievement, much like Vinodh getting 300x bb in with a flush draw and gutshot straight draw in level one is!

"He called me with 5-9 two pair. I miss the river and I am off to play the £150"


Francis Jones therefore, the small blind, is the chip leader with over 60,000

My attention is caught by the sounds of a Rastafish behind me as he cackles

"He chose to dance with the fish. That is not advisable" as he rakes in a sizeable pot

With this, Rastafish is in full flow, describing the players at the table to all and sundry


"Seat nine, Maniac"

"Seat One, Colin Young, trying to see if he has still got it. Hasn't won anything for ages"

"Seat two, don't know yet"

"Shola, sister is good"

"Alan Stearn..." there is a pregnant pause as Rastafish purses his lips and then guffaws enormously


As he completes his round of the table, Shola raises UTG and Paul Day calls in the big blind

Day check calls on flop and turn of  Td 3h Qd 6h and they both check the draw completing 9d river

Neither player wants to show. Eventually the TD asks Day to show, and he does  Kh Ts


Rastafish "That's never good man, never"

and Shola flips  Ahrt Ad


Rastafish "I killed it" and goes back to Sky Sports News on his Ipad

2nd best looking person in the Cardroom :)

Good luck Ken, top bloke!

Up to 89 runners today nearing the end of Level 2, and still just the one exit

Late entry til 7pm and currently 39 runners short of the guarantee on the £500

Why is this ever necessary?

drives me bonkers.

And even more when there has been an all in and a call pre flop sometimes yesterday it would take 30 seconds to show in one case the guy had aces as well. in this spot someone decalre they have a pair and then if they both declare one pair shola knows she has won. Otherwise if theres a bet and a call on the river the guy who has bet should show? this is my understanding on the rule. Unless he wants to muck and then he should hurry up and muck

Vaidas Sirunias raises on the button

Ray Mackintosh 3 bets the small blind

This is at 100-200

Vaidas 4 bets

Ray, playing a full stack, decides to 5 bet shove A-Q

and runs into A-A

and is out second of the 95 runners today

Frankie, in the big blind is rather ecstatic at this turn of events for he had A-Q in the big blind, he tells the table, and has escapred the melee for nothing more than the cost of that big blind

I'm here today cheering on my mate who's playing the tourney, I'm not so fortunate though so I'm gonna be sat around for a few hours until a cash game gets running probably, so if you need a hand with anything updates wise give me a shout, I'm the short guy in the big black coat wandering around with no purpose haha

Wadey

Hasn't been without a smile since I saw him last night. No wonder!

Shove 4-4

Reshove from A-Q

and the pair holds

Jose Garcia opens to 2400 on the button at 600-1200

Xia Ke 5500 in the small blind

in the big blind Mad Turk flats this

After some deliberation Garcia calls to create a 18,000 pot pre

 8d Jc 4h is checked round

 Kc on the turn

Xia Ke leads for 5500

Turk calls straight away

Garcia passes

3s on the river

Xe checks

Turk shrugs, and shows Ac 4c

which is good as Ke slides his cards across the flet face down

"I want to see his cards"

Ke tries to slide them further towards the dealer

"His cards"

Ke takes his cards back towards him. Really doesn't want to show but as Turk looks in the direction of a TD Ke sheepishly reveals  6c 5c

"Where was the club?" moans Turk "Where was the club?"

A big pot plays out with one of the chip leaders Leon Campbell

Francis Jones raises and he is called in two spots

Campbell with 130,000 behind

 6c Jd Ts

Campbell leads for 40,000

Jones shoves

Faced with calling 40,000 to win 210,000 Campbell is almost apoplectic with frustration

"I am going to have to fold. I don't believe it. How can you have it again?"

He folds, loses most of his chips and is shown  Tc Th

He did indeed have it

Lol, shes not even dealing the tournament!

Thanks Rich

previous chip leader Fahd Smires has taken a hit

Paul Damien opens and Smires calls on the button

A-9-J flop

Damien leads, Smires calls

6 turn

Damien again leads, Smires sets him in and Dmaien calls

Damien A-K

Smires A-9

River is a King to send Damien into a table banging frenzy, his hoody over his face bouncing up and down such is his excitement at scooping on the river

Doc Makawana is up to 225,000. Raises with J-J, gets a caller, flops J-9-9 and gets check raised all in. Happy days

Tom High is up to 96,000. "No great dramas just standard stuff, but not playing badly like I was earliier"

Raise to 5200 at 1200/2400   Jh with  Qc 8c .... Pat Simcoe calls  in bb.
 
Flop comes  Qs  9h  7h.

His space cadet check calls 8k.

Turn   8d he check calls 11k.

Donks 20k on  Js.

Tell me how these idiots are still playing after 13 levels.

Just for balance I won a race with  Ad Kh v 66 so I used my luck

Are you playing Jase?

Lisa Hawkes knocks out Stephen Nash in an 80,000 pot

She raises, is 3 bet from the blinds and calls with J-J

2-6-J rainbow flop and she cracks Aces

only the £150 mate but so on tilt right now. Back upto 60k having jammed the last 5 hands. Nearly got a call from LB44 when I had AK.

Fahd Smires knocks out Leon Campbell

Campbell K-K versus Smires A-Q all in pre flop

Q on flop, Q on turn

Kenny Prazer really didn't get anything going all day, resorted to shoving his final 9,000 with 6-5

Tom Myland in the big blind getting 2-1 decided to call no look, and Prazer was unluckily dominated by Myland's 7-6

8-7-J flop but the draw didn't come for Prazer



We are down to 42 with these the latest bustees

2pm Sunday to a conclusion

Tell him it's December now and good luck in the £150

best of luck to Ganesh/Vinodh. Bet he does not have to get out of bed at 4am to let in idiot son and bird because they are too drunk to find the key that is in his own pocket. :(

Go Fraser in the big un and Herbie in the Lil un

thx Barry n Bobalike for the support. But gutted for Liam Batey this morning and embarrassed that I acted out of order last night with Mr Simcoe. I ain't exploded like that for a few years :(

Cheers Sharky and Herbie!!!!! Got a nice triple up 12 mins before the end. KK v A2 v AQ aipf. Dodged a flush draw and somehow my Kings held!

Tom High to win would be brilliant.

Gotta go with my traveling mate Karl Caldiera. A Wadey / Fraser 1,2 should sort out the conspiracy theorists out. They must have used all their luck up by now.
