Day1c. Going to be busy.....

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/includes/tiny_mce/plugins/imagemanager/files/news-monte-carlo.jpg)

22 of 69 made it through 1a

35 of 113 made it through 1b

Today is an important day for DTD, as Rob Yong explains

"So the numbers are a little behind our targets going into the home straight tomorrow:

Day 1a Online 69 runners (target 75)
Day 1b Live 113 runners (target 125)
Day 1c Live Huh? runners (target 300)

Because we are 18 runners behind target, we now need 318 players tomorrow, to put this into context, the record for a previous Monte Carlo is 313 runners over 2 Day 1's, so we have to exceed that - but all on the same day. Currently we have 183 pre registrations for tomorrow, so need 135 players to stump up £1K tomorrow.

Once you go into the £1K mark, direct buy-ins a whole different ball game, that is why we have always been cautious not to GTE more than £250k (250 runner) for the previous Monte Carlo's. However, we felt we wanted to have a punt at getting the Monte Carlo up to £1M so we are punting this week and are not million miles away - would love to hit the number going into the ISPT launch next week, will give us a boost:)

Cheers Rob"

As requested by jack2off

Mr Tim Wright aka Charliek on here

Tim is the most successful poker player to emante from Swindon

However, this is damning with faint praise somewhat. Tim is the Swindon Town of Poker, Dwayne Quinn is probably the Swindon Supermarine FC of Poker and after that we are into the Didcot Town's of 5toneface and the rest

Well done Tim, anyway...

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-wCvIMFixV7U/UXEy50P7RsI/AAAAAAAAfko/QLqNYLI_NDo/s553/DSC02639.JPG)

TommyD is down to around 20,000.

He lost a chunk to a mondatoo

Tommy had A-Q on this flop......

Q-Q-9.
 
Which is nice.

Ray, meanwhile, had 9-9. Which is nicer.
 
Entirely possible to do the lot there, but Tommy found the fold.

Ray said afterwards "gfyujkkjlhedxsesrtjdrrdykrtdflopen would you like fries with that?".

which is Geordie for "unlucky sir, my hand was very good, nice fold, would you like fries with that?"

Right, catching up

We are mid way through Level 2

246 currently entered and I gather 30 or so online qualifiers still to be put in when they turn up


318 needed today, late reg 9pm so about £42,000 short of the £500,000 as I write now

Reckon its going to be very close......

Sharky?

thanks mate! drink should be working its way to you :D

Reckon they'll do it, but defo close.

do they allow re-entrires on same day?

No

that makes it tougher for them, but they stopped same day re-entries as they were unpopular with many who thought they were at a disadvantage compare to those wanting to re-enter on the same day who could play the first bullet fast etc etc

I will do some hands after the break. 28 tables on the go so not easy, I will probably focus on a table or two

Any suggestions or requests, please let me know

May I request a photo of Aaron please. He dropped the hint that he bought a new hoody for this out of his Deepstack winnings. He's already posted that he's "nearly out" after a set over set hand. (he's such a drama Queen)

Legend

I join a key hand mid-action for Lil Dave Nicholson

The board reads  8s Qs Ts 2h

Dave says to me "Its not going well".

He has 5,500 in front of him

He is UTG and he has bet the turn for 4,000 or so

On the button, every cheery Ross "Yeahman" Patman is chewing a rubber band. Contemplating action. He calls

On the river  Kh Nicholson shoves the rest in

Patman tanks

and calls

Nicholson is reluctant to show. Convinced he is out

Patman is even more reluctant to show.

Encouraged Nicholson flips  Qh Js

Patman mucks, and Nicholson moves back towards his starting stack...

Any update on Keef Orkins, Trigger , Pab and Dewi appreciated if you get a chance please Rich.

Story checks out on Terry Jordon.  Played him not long ago at DTD, plays a lot of hands and a lot of them aggressively.  Was tough to fold AA.  Hope bobalike got his chips back.

+1

He played the Western 250K GTD the other week.....I swear he spent more time up at the cash desk rebuying, than time at the table  :)

Aaron out, short-stacked shove 33 into TT. No help :(

Good luck to all remaining blondes in the tourney :)

Just tried to set off and the wheel fell off!!!!!!!

Still hope....

earlier he had a set of fours against a set of Aces

and then the 33 into 10-10 when in recovery mode

In poker, as in life, we have today learned that lightning rarely strikes twice after Aarons Deepstack final a fortnight ago

As he re-enters into today, Jake Cody's heart sinks as he realises he has the prospect of a poker lesson incoming...

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-tmMXW99MHAA/UXFNzLjy8WI/AAAAAAAAfnU/WYc7xsNrcF0/s826/DSC02661.JPG)

oh my. EPIC HH incoming probably!  ;popcorn; ;popcorn; ;popcorn;

is this the guy where we expect a suited deuce?

Oh boy.

Good afternoon Mr Prew.

Any updates on Grant Mitchel Dean Watson and Gavin Colclough would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Amazing!

Seat draw be trollin'

Just gave someone a lot of barrels for having the impudence to cold4 my btn 3bet out of the blinds.

Wonder if jake knows who he is sat next to by the look of fear on his face he must follow the diary!

absolutely buzzing about this also! The diary will have 5 pages added by the end of today.

 ;popcorn; ;popcorn; ;popcorn; ;starwars;

This is the reason I asked so early really! Best of luck if your reading Dr Leatherman! :P If you are, put down the gaypad and concentrate!

Did Cody snap take this pose when he saw you and the camera or is that really how scruffy his stack is?!

Mnodatoo updates please Tighty, tyty

The good diary of John Black  Age 12 3/4

Tom Ambler raises to 400

I look down at A-2 suited.

Yippee, I can play the Ace-deuce game

I peel, consider the min click float jam strategy but decide to play small-ball as tighty is watching. and So, more importantly is Jake. Jake is next to me. I wonder if he knows I crush NL10 over 127,000 hands? Only on Friday nights though. I will have to strike up a conversation with him

Another player comes along. Stupid of him. How can he hope to outplay me in the Ace-Deuce game?

the flop comes Q-8-2

Perfect. I have a pair

Ambler bets into me

Perfect again, for volume 35 of the John Black Ace-Deuce strategy guide

I raise. Completely standard in this spot aainst a non-thinking opponent like Ambler. At least I think he is non-thinking. Everyone is compared to me. and pleno. and Jake. Oh Jake, you are so close to me it hurts.....

Tom calls

We both check on the Ace turn. This is wonderful not only am I playing the Ace-deuce game but I have an Ace and a deuce on the board to match those in my hand. Pleno taught me this means I have two pairs. Oh Jake, I am going to make you so proud...

the river is a blank

Tom checks

I overbet rim dunk slam jam, as I do against the Ukrainians on a Friday.

Tom thinks about it and I think he is going to call.

He folds though

Jake looks at me. Yes, he looks at me!

The bad diary of John Black, age 12 3/4

George Baldock raises

Baldock is a town in Hertfordshire

I learnt that in basic spy training....

Someone I do not know and therefore they are unimportant peels. Fool.

Jake Cody folds in the small blind

Oh Jake, I so want you to out-play me in a hand so I can see what it feels like

I flat

Q-Q-5 flop

Perfect, if I have any hand really. He can't possibly have any part of it and I can use being out of position to outplay him as Jake would want me to do

I check. For deception. I only ever check for deception

Baldock bets 700

I call, with ultimate dexterity, hopefully Jake notices the artistry with which my right index finger flicks those chips in

9d We both check

3h

He has none of it

I bet 1200

He makes it 3100

Oh. Can't give up now, Jake is watching

10,000. Take that Hertfordshire town man

He shoves for 35,000

Oh. Oh. Jake, I'm sorry. I only wanted to impress you. Jake, Jake, Ja....I fold



   

Pls pls pls... bring a tale of JB picking off a Cody bluff with 8 high  :P

Both under starting stack with 24-25,000

Apologise for lack of detail/hands

Jamie Rutherford updates tighty?

L'Honore 25,000

Radfar starting stack 30,000 sitting next to The Camel


Mondatoo 42,500

He is on the same table as a big hand I saw


Sam Grafton opened and got five callers. Only five, including Sky Poker player Steven Carr

10-J-7 flop, two diamonds

Checked round to Carr, last to speak who bets 1,000

One caller

Grafton 6,000

Carr flats

Heads up to the turn 3 of diamonds

Grafton shoves, just over a pot sized bet

Carr calls him with A-J top pair top kicker and holds against K-Q the up and down on the 7 river to go to over 80,000 and knock Grafton out

Had one tough spot earlier where Chris Smith did a bluff and had to fold a pair, then did the river 3bt with some live reads that turned out to be not so concrete.

We have another new chip leader

This is Andrew Garland, from Bristol. Regular player on Sky Poker cash games, at all the bigger levels they run

Up to over 150,000

To quote the player next to him

"Keeps getting Aces and Kings. Has no idea he has won the pots, but keeps winning them" which is said with a smile, not harshly

Andrew, an amiable fella, is from the Alan Stearn school of accepting criticism. Doesn't give a toss.

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Vfve9kLm7fc/UXFv4ztHK-I/AAAAAAAAfpY/FBe5t5c4-GE/s553/DSC02678.JPG)

Also rough chip count, this should be somewhere close to starting stack less cumulative blinds so far  ;)

Thanks

Jake is getting absolutely hammered by seat 4.

Not even joking, the guy has 3bt the last 5opens from Cody in a row and when Jake squeezed his open he insta snapped the 4bt in.

Just did it again and after a grimmace and fold he was shown AA.

Update on Keef and Mondanewcastletoon

Trigg 40,000

Pab 45,000

Both just under average

Mondatoo 65,000

Keef Orkins 32,000

Adam Cook 76,000

DTD apparently introduced special age verification procedures for him, as even after being presented passport, driving licence and birth certificate, it was impossible to believe he was over 16 years old

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-W_bbng-9m7A/UXGUdQjhoyI/AAAAAAAAfr0/dHgSHiXR4Kk/s553/DSC02700.JPG)


Sean Randall, who looks every bit his 53 years of age...36,000

Rastafish one of the first players up to 200,000

on a Q-9-8 flop, he got it all in against pre-flop raiser Chris Dezeeuw

Chris had 8-8

Rastafish? Q-10


River...

J for the gutterball to win the 80,000pot and knock Chris out 

Littlest Dave is out

I heard this from the dealer, rather than saw it

"He triple barrelled A-A-K-J-9, and was called all the way down by A-5 which won"

A-5 of Gavin Colclough who is now up to 125,000. Not sure he knows what to do with 125,000 Rotty, but he's got them.

Thanks for updates on Trigg, Pab.....and how does ^^^^ do it, variance doesn't exist in his world

Jeeeeeeeeeez run good often Rastafish????

Two levels left to play and probably bringing c105 back for tomorrow, so a crucial couple of levels ahead.

Awesome effort from DTD to make the guarantee, but not even a record for this week! Berlin Cup got over 900 runners for an €1,100 (£942) event.

Yessss Jack!!

I think the key is that it has to be denominated in £. Obviously all the WSOP $1.5k get bazillions of runners.

Paul Foltyn has had the hour to end all hours and has gone from 40,000 to 160,000

In three stages
