Pitch looks a bit different today!

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pSinsKPTl_Q/UaxW4a0zjFI/AAAAAAAAhNc/gbQeKf98udc/w892-h597-no/DSC03447.JPG)

No redraw today so seating as on the chip counts.

Good to see DTD regular ANONYMOUS high in the chip counts.

This is Linton. I keep forgetting to put his name in, as he's not going to be anon in this, realistically...

In the next week on the pitch

Captial radio summertime ball, Springsteen, The Killers

Will be interesting to see the stage built from scratch...


I might just try and look inconspicuous in a corner for a week...no one will notice one more?

Hello guys, some early hands to report with what looks like two exits.
Some action on table 25 with Matthew Davenport, who started on 240K getting it all in on the turn of a 5 9 J 6 board with A 5. Daniel Morgan in seat 7 holds 66's for the set.
Morgan doubles up and then the following hand Peter Linton makes it 21K. Davenport gets the rest of his money in with another call in the big blind.  6h  5h  2h. Linton's C bet gets through and he shows   Ahrt  4c. Davenport shows  7 8 and hits the 9 on the river for a straight to double up.

Then an exit on table 13 with Michal Polchlopek 3 bet shoving  Ks Qh and is (hesitantly) called by the initial raiser in seat 1 who holds  Ac Kh. The board runs  3c Td 6c 4d 6d to send Polchlopek to the cash desk.

As I turn back to Linton's table Matthew Davenport walks away from his table having been eliminated.

Trickett said to me

"If I can't win it I would like a recreational player to win it"

Tom Kugelstadt take on a short-stacked Anon

Tom 67dd v Shortstack A5cc

Shortstack, well known to Nottingham roulette tables, screams at the top of his voice "WHO'S THE DADDY", jumps up and play on surrounding tables stops as players crowd round

the river is a 6

An onlooker mutters "The Daddy just died" and Kugelstadt knocks him out.

Lots of experience of big pay jumps late in huge events...got to be a big advantage I reckon

Is this guy related to Rodders ?

u carnt beat a celebration thats early lol JUSTICE GL Tom

Sam Trickett busts. He bets 83000 on  5c 4h 5h J and is raised to 159,000 by seat 3. Sam calls to show  Ac Kh his opponent  Ad Jd and holds, leaving Sam with no more than 75K. Sam then shoves  Jh 6h and is called  Aspades Jd and doesn't make it. He tells a friend 'Straight off to Vegas then.'

Ole Schemion 1.3 mill

Pete Linton 980k

Toby Lewis 880k

Alban Juen 900k

Florian Schultz 910k

Ivan Tikhov 720k

Blinds are still 6000/12000 ante 2000

Nah don't believe him! He wasn't wishing Gollum good luck but taking a swipe at Pete Linton???
Is Pete out?? Was he that daddy that got underpaid by the casino staff?? Can't understand all this secret stuff!

UPDATE: Sam has just been called to the Cashier desk by Simon. Not sure if he darted off THAT quickly....

with respect Rich if ur gonna do the "precious" lookalike for Sky's finest you have to do Verne Troyer for Freddie Deeb

Benoit Albeges spiked a Jack on turn to crack Sam's Ace-King there...

Daniel Plattern (deejaypee) has doubled through Nick Nenardout QQ v 10-10 all in pre

Joey Lovelady requested earlier has 500,000 with 75 left at 6-12k, average 541,000



Meanwhile, a valet is walking round with a tray of fruit. Nice, I'll have a Golden Deliciois, ask if I can have one

"Yes" she replies

"Thanks" I am all politeness and am looking forward to one of my five per day*

Pause

I make to walk off

"That will be £1.30 please"

I am off for a second mortgage after this six days....

Tom checks

Dapiao leads

Dale folds

Tom shoves, happy that Albert will call with a Jack

Albert folds. First time for everything

Same orbit Dale wins a nice pot off Devilfish.

He turns round to tell a railer, and Devilfish grabs a pole on which a table number is, and bonks Dale on the head with it, playfully

Dale turns round unaware what has happened

Devilfish looks as innocent as pie....

Pete Linton has 1.45m, c3x average

"I would love a couple of the Nottingham lads to final" he tells me, genuinely

No larking around for Pete today. In the zone

Hey everyone, as you probably realised the site crashed for 30 minutes or so

Don't know why yet, but I can only apologise

We will try to catch up now.

I believe it was Pete Wigglesworth's fault.

Leigh Wiltshire doubled with 88 v AK just before a break (fortunately m15 minutes of our crach was the tournament break)

average is 800,000

Hello again,
While we were away Leigh Wiltshere doubled up with pocket 8's just before the break. The pot was raised to 35K utg. Leigh flats.

Seat 5 then bumps it up to 138K utg passes and Lee shoves all in for 494K.

He see's he is in a race as his opponent shows  Ad Kh. Lee was 'hoping for the hold.'

He is in luck as the board runs out  Qc 2c Jd 3c 6s.

Lee is over a million and still smiling.

In the same apologetic manner, I would have gone with:

Would love to see Nick win it.

Juan Alban raises to 50,000 and Miguel Lacerda from portugal shoves for a million from the blinds

As you do with A-J with 40 left in a comp like this

Alban calls with Q-Q

J flop

A river to double Lacerda up to second chip leader


With a shrug of the shoulder, a la Cristiano Ronaldo when booked, and an unrepentant look, a la Luis Figo after a penalty box dive, Lacerda goes onward

Alban might have swallowed a wasps nest.

Just watched Rob Yong's interview with Michelle Orpe....a friend of mine, yes herbie I do have a few, texted me saying the ISPT was a failure....I replied an emphatic no!! An expensive project and loss for DTD in  money terms, but it was interesting to hear Rob's views on the overall numbers and delivery of the villae and experience, which I think most people who have attended will all agree has been an undoubted success. And yes Rob had the balls to take this one on.....So without wishing to blow smoke up his arse.....Congrats Rob and DTD as a whole. It looks the final table will contain to big names in poker lets hope a few of the qualifiers snaek in there too....wud be nice if Mickey Wernick got a big pay day after all his troubles!

Got him on the table on day 2B . On a board of 249JJ , i had 99 against his JJ on level 2 but I didn't go broke .
I call him a Porn Star and we have a laugh at the table . Awesome player ! Rich can u say hello to him got me n remind him about the Porn Star joke we had on the table . Good updates as usual from the team again . :-)

Dem Aces for Elia Bassam again. He doubles up again.

Andre Moreira is becoming more and more a character.

He shoves on  Aspades 5d 4c 8s.  This leaves Damien Bas with a big descision as he asks  'Can I say what I have?' The floor say yes as he is heads up. At this point Moreira turns his phone music to full blast puts his sunglasses on staring at the felt, giving Bas no time to declare his hand.

Bas thinks some more and folds an A face up.

errrm suppose I better reply for clarification purposes. I heard Sam put in other players to the value of 27k which is amazing however irrelevant of that I dont think I ever suggested he NEEDED ISPT to buy him in, Also I certainly don't claim to know best; just saying something someone told me who is there...

anyway move along nothing to see here :)

Michael Pospiech and Xavier El fassy get it all in

A-Kdd for Michael in the cut off, Xavier QQ in the small blind

A J-3-4-J-7 board doubles Xavier now who immediately chirps his way through the next five minutes....

I sat beside her yesterday and was impressed. She didn't have a huge amount then. She played fairly tight early but then traded on it, reraising pre several times and getting folds there or on the flop. She showed AA once and, as I say, I think she traded on her image to build. I thought then that she could go far in this. Maybe further still...........

Players are now constantly checking the printed sheets with the payouts on, asking friends on the rail how much they have locked up and are discussing pay jumps. We are now down to 35, who are guaranteed at least €6,000 each. Next pay jump is at 27th to €7950. Then onwards to five figures. Average stack is 1,145,848.

Hicks, Linton and Trodd ftw!!

Had a quick chat with Leigh Wiltshire

He has been far tighter than his table, not especially by choice but short of hands and short of spots

Saving up that run of hands for when it matters two tables out, lets hope

He has 750,000 or so at 12-24,000

Average 1.1m

34 left

Leigh is directly out of position to Julian Gardner and Freddy Deeb

I bet thats a real thrill, and the result so far is well deserved for someone who has given a lot of time and effort for recreational poker in the UK via APAT for a number of years and has many of that community willing him on

Final Table Is Wedensday Richard?

Hicks and Linton both over average, Hicks 1.4m Linton 2m+

Linton is incredibly focussed. We've all seen him, well I have, frankly dick around in smaller comps and only give it half effort but he's full on here. As we know, when that happens is a major talent and tough to play against

Karl has arrived to rail or bok Amy, depending on what happens. She must have close to 2m

Is Michael Maruna still in, Tighty?

Can you put a picture up?

Yes

With 34 left we are about to come to the dinner break

I am unsure what the plan is today as to how long they play

Presumably with the streaming booked in for Wednesday there is a short day today or tomorrow on the horizon, so the tournament makes it to Wednesday!

Mine's a pint, ta.

He went out 36th George sorry,

Great effort though, ground out a micro stack for most of the day

A barrel load, sterling effort once again

Matt Dale 3 bet shoved 3-3 in late position over a Devilfish min open with A-9

Devilfish called, 300,000 pot

In Dale's words

"blank, blank, blank,blank, nine, where's the bar?"  

Errrr  just managed how to work a laptop(im 58) hope its streamed live on website...iphone app..sounds painfull.

That didn't actually happen afaik was just a rumour.

Great effort over four days Matt. 

Try and hold onto some of the money.

Dan Morgan has just been eliminated before the break. He was all in pre with JJ against Xavier El Fassys 99. Xaviers' 9 on the river sends him into raptures as everyone else looks on. This man was down to 200K and is quoted as saying 'Like a phoenix back from the dead.'

We are on an hours dinner break, Back around 7.35pm

33 left, all GTD 6,000 Euros but all, and already talking about, with their eyes on the mill ball, mill ball deal, final table.....

Blinds are 12000/24000

Alban Juen raises to 50k

Jerome Brion  calls the 50k

Devilfish makes it 150k

Juen re raises to 300k they both call

They all check

Juen goes all in for 476k

Juen wins the pot and doubles up

He actually tipped 1st in a HORSE comp (around $400k) to the dealers iirc. Spoke to a guy at the WSOPE about it who was floor at the time

Pretty sure he didnt

Any chance of chip counts for those left please??

Would love to, but not allowed in the tournament area in the break

Is there another site we can get them?

rub down

So what else are we supposed to do? Wait until it is finished???  Lol

lol!

Give me five minutes to don camoflague and crawl around the tables like a stealth blogger

It was this event: http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=35059

I was in another WSOP event at the time and my dealer said it was a myth.

If Blonde arent allowed in, you can bet nobody else is allowed in lol.

Just wait till after the break, Im sure Tighty and his team will do their best. He is a magician after all

You the man!!!!

Thanks Tighty - and picture of you in the camouflage gear too please....

Rich,seen as your at wembley can you pick me out a good spot for the Springsteen concert...thanks

Would so love to see Nick win his - great guy.

Of course. Would be a great winner. Much under-rated player.

Jakob Michalak knocks out Michael Maruna, who I thought was out 36th in my 36th mistake of the day, in 31st

AK beats JJ in a flip


Down to 30. How on earth does this last another two days, I wonder to myself........

Damien Bas UTG all in 403,000

Leigh Wiltshire reshoves all in

Oooh.........

Bas has 8-8

Leigh has A-Ko

Leigh is playing around a million

the flop comes...6-6-9

the turn comes a deuce....

Yup Leigh or Nick would be a popular winner...altho i wudnt mind Praz, Amy, Linton or Leon Louis winning it!

and the river?.....

Bas has 8-8

Leigh has A-Ko

Leigh is playing around a million

the flop comes...6-6-9

the turn comes a deuce....

he river....A King

Leigh Wiltshire knocks out Damien Bas 29th and goes to over 1.5m.....an over average stack.....

wiiiiiiiiiii get in Leigh!!!!!!!!!!!

Booooooooooooom,

best of luck to a true gent

Gent

hurrahhhhhhhhhhhh come on Leigh

Just got some funny looks at home for cheering and hollering at an internet forum post!!

Come on Leigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick Hicks and Amy Trodd get it all in pre

Hicks Aces

Trodd Kings

2.2m pot with Amy at risk.....

8-5-5-7-9 and we lose Amy in 28th

Hicks a 3m chip leader as we break to three tables................

Backing Amy because she qualified in the same day 1 that I was in. I would like to think that 5k of her chips were originally mine.

So glad I lent him my slightly used 'one-time'

We are down to 27. The average is 1,485,359. Remaining players have locked up 7,950 Euros with the next jump where 18th pays 10,500. We have lost 6 players in half an hour after dinner. 43 minutes left at 15,000/30,000/4000.

Oh sh*t , just read that she's gone. GG Amy.

To use an Americanism " Way to go Leigh!! "

Wiiiiiii.....come on Nick. He has been so unlucky in a lot of biggies and never moanes about his bad beats.

Top man and hope he gets the million.

Hi guys, great job with the updates as always.

Do you have any idea how many runners the turbo got tonight?

Planning to come down for the one on tomorrow as long as they are likely to get 40+ runners.

Great job with the all the steps! :)

Nick Hicks a 3.6m chip leader

He doesn't look comfortable with the situation

Anti-climactic, it is a chop, and my competitor bloggers left strewn in my ample wake get the last laugh

Would make my year if Leigh was to win a life changing sum of money.. One time for the nice guy!

thanks for this :)

We've been on Praz stack death watch for two hours. He always finds a way though. He has 600,000 at 15-30k and is re-shoving liberally, without the crucial double up opportunity yet.

Come on Leigh. Such a top guy.

Woke up the bin lids when that king hit.

Great reporting tighty and team

Any chance of some chipcounts ;)

28 runners today Dom

I know Matt Perrins got to the final 3 of yesterday's £1k with £22k up top. Not sure if he won it though.

Good luck nick

did not enjoy reading that top line at all

On the grounds 1 was likely to lose - GLGL to Nick from here - would be a hugely popular winner!

20 pages in and the smut arrives ::)

Cheers mate.  

I finaled the 250 turbo yesterday and got 6th, was 6.6k up top or something with a field full of french players that erm.. provided a little value shall we say.

28 seems quite low compared to the 80 odd yesterday, worried it could be an stt by tomorrow.

Meh i'll probs flick it in anyways.

Thanks again and like I say yr doing an absolutely great job.

Huge hand on table 70. Janot Gwendoline opens for 60K

Andre Moreira re raises to 168K

Nick Hicks goes one more to 260K

Leigh Wiltshere looks reluctant in his pass.

Seat 5 Andre Andrade then shoves all in for roughly 600K

Gwendoline folds as does Moreira after a huge siighhhh. Hicks calls with pocket 10's.

Andrade shows AK.

The board runs out  Qd Qs Jc 3d 8c.

Andrade out, Hicks sitting good on 4.3 million.

gogogo Nick Pete and Leigh

A great tournament to get the juices going ... sadly a day 2 exit for me ... Nick Hicks carrying those chips well ... good luck to Nick and Leigh.

Andre Moraria opens to 66,000

and so begins the most controversial hand of the tournament that takes many many minutes to play out

Leigh Wiltshire calls

In the big blind Freddy Deeb shoves a stack of chips over the line

He says nothing

The dealer colunts and announces 191,000

This is a mistake, It is actually 291,000

Moraria without saying anything puts in 380,000

Wiltshire folds


and then it kicks off

The table discovers that the dealer has made a mistake

Deeb is an argumentative so and so, very belligerent in debate and no quarter given

He maintains that Moraria has not put in enough to raise

Moraria says he was following the dealer in clicking back

Across multiple languages and multiple railers there is a hubbub


The floor is called

Several minutes later Simon Trumper is called

He listens to the players, listens to mthe dealer

He asks the dealer how he cut the Deeb raise, to see if the 100,000 blue chip that the dealer has not ben accounted for has been exposed

He rules that everyone has had a chance to see the blue chip,its clearly more than 191,000 and that Moraria is held to call 191,000 as he has under-raised

The key here is that neither Deeb or Moraria said anything, and that the player has to accept the dealer error and realise he had the opportunity to see it was 291,000 not 191,000

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9s0bY5uXotE/Uaz15V7n6_I/AAAAAAAAhXk/K6XcWIpRr1M/w400-h597-no/DSC03519.JPG)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Um-IUgMjLzc/Uaz17egYU5I/AAAAAAAAhX0/vT6pu7Npqa8/w892-h597-no/DSC03521.JPG)

Deeb shoves

"You are lucky, I was going to do that pre-flop"

Moraria thinks and thinks and calls all in with A-K

Deeb, to ooohhs and aaaahs from an expectant crowd flips K-6off

He holds on the J-9 turn and river

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DzxX8BBYFGA/Uaz18DXsHhI/AAAAAAAAhX8/dqMkNlTQAt0/w400-h597-no/DSC03522.JPG)

Deeb goes second chip leader

Moraria is out of the room, storming, before I look up from my notepad

Is the area open to people coming down and railing the final table tighty?

Yes

Lewis is out

Final table being streamed



Playing one more level tonight, we have 24 left

Yes has 700,000 at 20-40k, next to Bansi who is patiently playing 600k

Nick Hicks 4.3m

40m chips in play, so 10% of the total with 24 left

AWSOME ! Thank you

Good to meet you yesterday Dom and I took your advice and didn't deal. Was an interesting FT for sure.

Nick and Leigh heads-up would be ideal, poker gods.

cone on leigh . you railed all the welsh apat teams for years now you can win something awesome . keep going . best of luck from us all

One time!! gogogogogo

Think Freddie or anyone else got every right to be argumentative when u playing for a milly n there's mistakes happening. Still, these things happen and can't see what the delay was, defo an under raise, poker's a visual game and dealer mistakes happen. Just saying raise then putting them in in instalments it far more fun when clicking back anyway

On table 69 Niel Benardout shoves A6 into Florian Hoeller on  6s 2c 7s Th with  Ac 6c It is no good as Hoeller has  Kc Kh and holds with the  Qc.

edit : oops

oi oiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

A bloggers dilemna

Railer "Excuse me do you know the lady on the rail?"

Tighty "Yes"

Railer "Who is she supporting, a boyfriend?"

Tighty "No she is Michelle Orpe, presenter for the ISPT"

Railer, eyes light up "Oh can you tell her for me that she has a fucking great bum?"

My mouth opens...

What should I say?

Send him over to tell her himself LDO, watch him make a complete tit out of himself.

Just nod.

He has every right to fight his corner and I was just trying to show he was doing so, not trying to be critical

I gather one of things he was agitated about was that the Portugese player was talking to a Portugese blogger in his native tongue, before Simon arrived..so that all had to be sorted out too

Daniel Platten out in 23rd. He shoves his short 107K stack after some action between seat 3 Guiseppe Stagno and Pras Bansi. These two check down T K 9  and the A turn. the river comes  7h and Bansi makes a small bet which Stagno calls. Stagno shows A 3, but Bansi's J 8 for the straight is good.

Platten mucks and makes his way to the cash desk.

Can't see Devilfish wanting to go out to someone called Schultz,after the torturous 5 years we spent at the Sir Leo SCHULTZ High School in Hull...when he turned up that is......................

As I cast my eye over table 70 Freddy Deeb is involved in a hand with Xavier El Fassy. El fassy checks in the dark on  Qc 2s  Qh  5s Freddy leads for 200K, El Fassy's 500K 3 bet is called.

The  9d river see's El Fassy bet 600K which Freddy calls.

To his delight El Fassy is good with his flopped house (he has deuces)

Deeb has K Q

Still in the hunt though with 1.5 mil.

What a legend!

Nice Tekkers Pete.

Get in there big Linton!

His nose wrinkles slightly and he announces raise, putting 450,000 across the line

Xavier folds showing him pocket fives

"Now you show" he asks the mild mannered Bournemouth accountant

"No, I don't do that" says Leigh as he rakes in the pot and passes the cards to the dealer, resolutely face down

Leigh appears to have getting on for 2m with 21 left and 20 minutes left to play.

I'm no longer a guest thanks to that Leigh Wiltshire  ;nana;

Have just spoken to Elia Bassam, at one point today he had 50K. He has had quads and doubled up with AA. He has just told me 'First Time. I don't play tournament poker. We play cash.'

This is his first tournament.

He did get very ecited when his 7 2 shove got through after hitting bottom pair, asking 'do you play 7 2 here?'

He is very excited to be going into tomorrow and has a decent support from the rail.

I presume tomorrow will play down to the final table, then stop?  If that's the case, and going by today's pace, tomorrow could be a very short day.


Come on Leigh - hero!!

The man's a hero, I thought he would be focused on the poker given the prize money but to take time out to set you up a Blonde account is very generous of him.

fantastic updates, thanks to Tighty and everyone else involved. Looking forward to tomorrow.

You just made one D <*{{{{{{{{><  very happy.

Just noticed I'm on Probation, best behaviour from me then!

Playing down to 9 tomorrow starting at midday

Who knows how it will work out?

50x bb average, and whilst it might be quick the prospect of getting in that final 8 or 9 and being part of a chop with €600k added might see some of it nit up?

We'll see......

LOL!!!  No worries...I'll vouch for ya.   ;)

Best of luck to all still in
especially LEIGH

U DA MAN !!!!

haha thanks Dawn, can always bribe with cake if necessary :)

Neither am I having been 'guesting' since Friday.  Thanks for your hospitality Blonde :-)

Well done Leigh, another day in the bag, just one more day to navigate and then..... :D

Just noticed i havent been logged in either, my bad!  ;whistle;

Top updates.

On a serious note, the way that AA got played a few pages back was terrible and deserved what came his way against T7 sooted and the KQ call by Linton is horrid IMO when it was 40% or so of his stack.

Excellent day Leigh, keep the faith!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii - CAKE!!!

Welcome to yourself and all the other new members of blonde.  Hope ye enjoy it here.  

Just stay off the Amaretto for a while and you'll get by, Debbie.

shhhhhhhh John, don't blab my alcoholic secret x

Fabulous effort from Leigh. Truly unbelievable position to be in, but couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Great updates again guys. It's events like these that showcase how important to the community blonde is.  The original and best.  

Tighty, legend.

lol

Pete and Nik heads up please!

Keep it in DTD boys!

So pleased and excited for Nick and Pete.
Really hoping that they get the breaks over the next two days.

Wish I could be on the rail, but will be following here avidly.
Updates today were top notch. Cheers Tighty (and your assistants).

Had to log in to post, first time in aaaages - best of luck to Leigh! Got everything crossed for you!

Would be a million kinds of epic if Leigh scooped here

Great updates Tighty and crew.

Really buzzing for Nick, him and Praz heads up would be a great clash to watch.

Fantastic updates, wp Leigh wiiiiii :)

+1 all said

Good work tighty, exciting mix of players left in, and some that might not be that quick to deal so anyone trying to ladder up to a final or top 6 might get a shock! Praz and his 20bb grind ftw

Obviously sweating my boys Pete and Nick, but if they cant win then I'd love Leigh to win. Have worked with him in a fashion, dealing at DTD when he was running APATs etc, and hes a lovely bloke.

If not the above, then maybe Deeb/Devilfish? Oldpros innit

Leigh, Nick and Deeb... final three - ONE TIME!!!! 

The older pros have a pretty massive presence in this final 20, when there was so much young talent in at the start of play today, all seem to have fallen by the wayside.

ABD - Anyone But Deeb.

For reasons go to the UB thread on 2+2

Nick Hicks, Praz & Devilfish ftw, #legend !

Nick & Leigh FTW.  One for the nice guys :)

Great thread. Thank you.

And no bitching either. Excellent work Blonde and Tighty. Can't wait for the app on Wednesday as this could be the funniest live stream ever. Plenty of egos left in that will not deal.

Alex

Could there be a deal on f/t in this game

Deals will be supervised by Simon Trumper, so it's Yes and No.

would be totally over the moon for Leigh if he won this - one of the genuine good guys

Why would you go through all this play and deal on final table.....i'm sorry i'm new to poker but been in pro rugby league over 40yrs and winning is everything,money is just a bi product of your level of success......................No Deal..

there will still be a winner deal or  no deal
final table  will be played out
any deal with be about the cash not who does or doesn't win

Cheers for the support! Not gonna get too excited as anything can happen obviously. Fingers crossed for tomorrow...

Best of luck to Nik, Leigh, and Lintanon tomorrow.

I'm a little confused by the Deeb ruling, I thought that an under-raise of more than 50% went as a min-raise. It does in DTD afaik.

The under raise is less than 50 pc.414k is that, e made it 380k

Just tuned in. Wow. Go Nick and Pete. Would be immense if they chopped it or played out HU.

It is a nice theory that you should play it out, but a lot of people aren't going to have a ton of cash in their back pocket, or may be going through a bad patch.  There is always going to be a few at the final table who find it hard to turn down £100k.   And I can assure you, missing 100K on busting before the deal is going to sting a little for some time for most of those.

As others have said in the thread, the composition of the final 20 may mean that the chances of a deal isn't as likely as it would be if we got a final table of 9 small stakes recreationals.

Thank you H...still know for a fact i would not deal...im guessing if 1 player dosent agree you play on...

Ah okay I see, still a little harsh though imo as his intent was clear.

So excited for Nick, Pete and Praz. How awesome a top 3 here. Gl chaps.

Thanks for all the support guys.

Tighty and the team are doing a fantastic job once again with the updates.

Rich just keeps heading over and giving me that look of 'Well ?', I just keep smiling.

Absolutely loving the whole experience.

Wow, some HERO's left in!

Julian Gardner though, gogogogo Jullllllllllllian!

Enjoyed the updates.

Would love to see nick win this, has ran horribly deep in a few comps I think. Genuine nice guy.

Gl Pete and Leigh too tho.

+1 to all this.

Cliffs ?

Gonna jump on the Nick Hicks bandwagon, get there with this!

Allegedly involved in laundering/ playing with UB funds stolen by super users

He was being staked by Hamilton.  Some say they reckon Deeb knew where Hamilton was getting his funds and others say, "Where's the proof?"   

No way I would be dealing for ~ 100k on the final table except in very unusual circumstances, i.e. I would have to get there and someone would have to offer it.

:)

You'd be fun with Noel Edmonds.

"Tell that banker he can stuff his offers. I'm having what's in this box"

Great TV, mind.

Would be disappointing to see a deal, but big jump from 2nd to 1st obv.
In order of preference would like to see one of these win.
Leigh
Nick
Leon
Praz
Linton
Devilish

Final table bubble gonna be sick

fyp

Also Gwendy
And Gardener

Tal...the banker can have the day off...i aint dealing..........you can go into work tomorrow and say "i won a million and am ISPT winner" or "i played through the sats and got through 5 days..then bottled it for 100k"..................not happening on my shift.....Good luck the small guys left in.

Please....please...PLEASE apply for DOND.

"In your MFKN eye, Banker! I ain't deal in' so you can do one, sunshine"

Mavis holding number 17 looks perplexed.
