Title: ISPT Wembley. The Final
Post by: TightEnd on June 04, 2013, 08:19:28 PM
Over 5,000 people took part in the Day Ones and 761 played at Wembley Stadium in the most different Live tournament that any of them will have ever experienced.

Dusk Till Dawn added nearly €600,000 in overlay in what was at outset the most controversial tournamnet the global poker community has seen in years

With 12 weeks notice DTD stepped in, and the whirlwind since has been a logistical, if not financial, triumph

Now we are down to 6.

There has been no deal yet

After play today the French players proposed a deal, I think, to Peter. The French players were certainly discussing one

I think this was declined

I do not know the details but as I write they play on tomorrow with no business done

Play begins at midday Wednesday

Updates from 12.30pm and a live stream with a 30 minute delay on www.ispt.com

Good luck to all six, but especially from our point of view of course to Pete and Nick, the DTD regulars hoping to take the bulk of the prize money back up the M1.


Please join us for the conclusion of ISPT Wembley tomorrow.


Six days that will live long in the memory of all who were here

Xavier has a big heart to travel without a seat, fair play to him.

Played with Pete on a live Day 1 for this, he was an absolute beast on the table and I was glad when he got moved to Simon Deadman's table in level 2 :)

He said he was unlikely to go to Vegas for WSOP after some run bad at Monte Carlo.

Would be crazy if he won this.

Nick deserves his nicest guy in poker tag. Hope it gets heads up between them and no deals!

Got to keep these big money prizes with DTD regs :)

Standard rules? Pointing only with elbows? No first names - titles and surnames only? All master rules apply (thumb, shoe, pigeon, fire in the hole and any other imitation)?

Do they serve IPA at Wembley?


Will be thinking of you all railing people getting rich and having fun while I'm at work.

Hi every1, must firstly say a Big WELL DONE to Rob, Simon & the Special DTD Team for once again pushing the boundarys in poker even further yet again. So Sad that for all your bravery & hardwork you all put into this event you have suffered such an overlay ;0(. Rob i know u wanted to do a tourny like this as an annual event & hopefully the publicity & comments you get from this you get your rewards in the long run WP ALL.
                                            Also would like to THANK Tighty & his team for once again bringing us all the BRILLIANT & AMUSING updates ;0) ( where would we be without you Sir)

        Last but not least theres a small matter of the FT, WP every1 for making it this far but Special GL to Nick & Pete! Bring it home ladz. Beware of the lady Gwendolin as i feel she could well be my dark horse.

                                                                               WP & TY every1.

GL to both the Nottingham DTD guys ofc.......

    Whilst from a fan/ rail perspective everyone  pushing the ' No deal ' mantra is understandable, I do hope it doesn't add pressure on Nick  and Pete. They must just do what they feel is right for them at the time the discussions are taking place. They are not there to keep the spectators happy,they are there to do what's right for them. Good luck to both on them.They are massive winners in everyway already. Go Go Go.

incredible to have two well liked & respected DTD regs on the FT,

would be great to see nick & pete slug it out HU & walk away with 600 a piece,

not a bad exchange rate at the moment either...

You and I like Pete, Julian! but let's be honest he aint the most popular chap on the circuit!

pretty sure that anyone who has spent any time with pete will know he's a really sweet guy...maybe not up there with nick & myself, but hey, it's a pretty elite club you know...

Having spent a number of hours with Nick to my right, and then keeping my chips in the 'Blonde family', I would really love him to go on and win this.

Spoke briefly to Pete before the start yesterday, and it should never be forgotten that he is an APAT WCOAP Bracelet winner and must now take up the mantle for the recreational and amateur poker players.   ;D

Get it won guys.


Just wanted to also say a huge thanks to everyone that has taken time to post up messages in the past few days showing support for me.  I've had an absolute blast, loved every minute of it, and although I might have looked miserable in some photos (Thanks Rich), I felt like I had a grin on my face throughout.  According to Phil at the cashdesk, I was one of the few smiling after exiting yesterday.

Glad everyone has been supporting the updates to such an extent that the servers crashed.  Although that up's Tighty's stress levels, it just goes to show where the home of UK poker updates is and always should be.

Now, Nick & Pete, onto the business of the day.  Good luck guys.

Will run a competition today also where the winner will recieve a round of applause personally from me with their Final Table lookalikes.

Rules are: One maximum lookalike per player. Your first one per player will count as your selection...

Best of luck to all the guys left in the comp.

Nick Hicks – 254 000 euros
Gwendoline Janot – 243 000 euros

The deal should change the dynamics of the table, with shorter stacks in particular having a sense of effectively freerolling given everyone's locked up a tidy amount. Should make for better viewing!


Title: Re: ISPT Wembley. The Final
Post by: GlennDuskTillDawn on June 05, 2013, 12:43:18 PM
The deal is done:

Peter Linton will take €375,000
Alban Juen €290,000
Nick Hicks €254,000
Gwendoline Janot €243,000
Jakub Michilak €236,000
Xavier El Fassy €204,000

That means its €200,000 to play for for the eventual winner.

I think u cannot be upset about deal taking place . The different between 6th and 1st is around  €900k . That's a lot of beans for lots of poker players ! I would defo deal in this situation . It's easy for u view to say what u want but it's hard for the players that r sat on the FT . There's still €200k to b play for .

Massive thanks for all the updates guys.  

I think from reading all the support its clear this idea would work if run by DTD and given enough time.  I really hope putting in the 600k does not hurt the place massively.

Can totally understand why a deal had been done as the money involved is too much to turn down, however it would have been nice to see someone play for the million.  Saying that good luck to the final 6 and I will enjoy watching the stream.

i spoke to pete this morning when two separate deals were on the table,

to say it was wrecking his head would be an understatement.

the pressure was immense & imo it's hard to fault him locking up 375k with another 200k for play for...i don't think anyone can say they would have done this or that until you are actually in that position.

& of course, great to see nick finally bag a big score!

one of them to lift the trophy pls!!

That's exactly why you should deal Colin.

How often do you get a chance to locked up €200k+

To most it will be once in a life time. I appreciate they had a chance at €1M but even for Pete it was odds against.

If Pete was 2/1 (Alex' odds) then locking up €375k with the chance of a further €200k can't ever be bad.


Title: Re: ISPT Wembley. The Final
Post by: StuartHopkin on June 05, 2013, 01:10:28 PM
Is this kind of deal standard?

If I was there (lol, need to play a comp to start with) I would want to keep some element of the prizes laddering?

Feel like it really takes something away from it when they lock up set amounts, but now there is no difference between busting 6th or 2nd.

If you take the emotion out of it then doing a deal here makes perfect sense.
375k he has bagged a house for a weeks work where most pay a 25 year mortgage.
1st place now can easily be first out with the pots we are going to see.

Well done to all of them

Looks like a good deal to me for everyone.

Too much money in play not to come to some agreement.  Pleased for all six of them, but there is €200k, a trophy and a title to play for, right ?

go Go Go Nick & Pete

deal had to be expected with no one having millions in the bank(one would assume). its alot of money for these players, think Fassy story is fantastic travelling over without a seat by ferry, that shows great spirit and belief in himself.
but yes linton or nicks would be great,

Gl everyone playing :)
       Ross baby (yeahman), i understand why deal was done, but if i had been there only way i would have done a deal was if me & Nick were HU. After all these FT dont come that often & when i get a chance to score big i want to make the most of it ;0)

That's exactly why you should deal Colin.

How often do you get a chance to locked up €200k+

To most it will be once in a life time. I appreciate they had a chance at €1M but even for Pete it was odds against.

If Pete was 2/1 (Alex' odds) then locking up €375k with the chance of a further €200k can't ever be bad.

maybe Mattyboy but i believe what will be will be & its probably the gambler in me chirping up lol

Is this kind of deal standard?

If I was there (lol, need to play a comp to start with) I would want to keep some element of the prizes laddering?

Feel like it really takes something away from it when they lock up set amounts, but now there is no difference between busting 6th or 2nd.

Just me?

Nah, I thought the same.  Why not take some off the top and distribute it to the different finishing positions so that they've still got something to play for (for each position they ladder), rather than just playing for first.

Only a fool or a fool with more money than sense wouldn't want to do a deal in this situation.

Post by: theprawnidentity on June 05, 2013, 01:22:54 PM
You also have to take into consideration that as the chip leader you have less of an edge after the deal has been done (no ICM / ladder pressure).

If I had 100% of myself in this spot, I probably snap deal cause regardless of anything else, the money would make a big difference to my life.  If I had 50% of myself, I might be more inclined to continue OR want to leave less money in the middle for the winner.

Either way, congrats to all and GL to the blondes.

Post by: SuuPRlim on June 05, 2013, 01:27:36 PM
It's very easy to say "id never deal here" - Pete asked my opinion on the deal this morning and whereas I could offer reasonable advice, i'm not sat there where every pot you play could be a £250,000 pot. Pressure of high stakes gambling is immense - until you gambled for this kind of money it's hard to know what you'd do. I advised Pete NOT to take the deal straight away but feel pretty certain I would have taken the deal in his spot.

I am adament i never run it twice in cash games but wait till there's $50k in the pot and I change my principle very quickly lol.

Also @ TopTen - it's not "greed" it's sacrificing profit to remove RISK, or taking on more RISK to maximise profit - it's unlikely the deal for a profitable one for more than 2 of the players, the utility value of the money makes a big impact - if, say 300k makes a huge difference to your finances, increasing your ability to make money and bettering your quality of life then it would be, as you say "foolish" not to sacrifice some profit to lock that up - as the variance of missing out damages your living. Like in deal or no deal, the box clearly worth a decent bit more the £21,000 but the women has £900 in her current account, owes her mum £1500 and has £1800 worth of creedit card debts - there is NO WAY she cannot take that money, even if the box is worth £35,000. If she's got a steady job, no money worries and a few quid in savings then she'd prolly turn £28,000 down and be right to do so.

Well done Linton and Nick. Always awesome for DTD regs to do well in any comp and lock up life changing money.

I was not fortunate to actually play this event, but the updates, photos, humor and atmosphere of this forum has really made this tournament special. Big tip for Blonde????

Also, to use the deal or no deal example, the lady is never going to be in that chair again, so making a longrun +EV play for a sample size of one is much less effective.

Unless Pete goes on the mother of all heaters for the next few years, the occasions where he gets in this position again will be very few and very far between.

He's weighed up the options, taken advice, done some maths, factored in the emotional/practical stuff, done some more maths and reached the conclusion that shaking hands works for him.

I don't think anyone is really criticising the decision - at least, no one should be - as it's his decision, made in a context (as lilD says) few if any truly understand.

Rugby league players move clubs for money. Players move to the NRL for more money. Players even move to union for more money - so to say players are just in it for the glory and to win is inaccurate.

Earlier deal wouldn't have left anything to play for, which Linton is decent favourite to get. So deal does look about right

You could flatten the prizes too.....

650k
425k
275k
200k
150k
100k

But then if you look at those figures compared to what Pete has locked up, makes me think locking up just under 2nd place with 200k to play for isn't a bad option!

Of course we are in it for financial gain ,my point was that the financial gains rely on wins and losses...in the case of these 6 players they have managed to achieve both by dealing and still having a chance to win the event plus an extra 200k,,,Just for the record you dont have to move clubs,ive been at Hull KR for over 40 yrs as player and now physio.

Lest we forget Pete might not of had an option. If it is laid out as "take it or leave it" (and I understand there were 2 deals), then there is no negotiation.

Although most negotiations would say never have closed offers, in this scenario, where the money means a lot to everyone, it is an excellent strategy

Linton claws some back.

Nick raises 255k with  Ahrt 2h

Alban calls  Aspades Js

Xavier El Fassy has  Ad Td and calls.

Peter looks down at QQ and makes it 820K

Alban and Xavier call, Nick gets out of the way.

 5s 7c 6c on the flop.

Peter bets rougly 900K and gets it through.


Title: Re: ISPT Wembley. The Final
Post by: GlennDuskTillDawn on June 05, 2013, 03:09:45 PM
The next hand Gwendoline raises 240K

Xavier bumps it up to 655K with A Q

Peter wakes up with J J and makes it 1.26mil

Xavier just flats.

 5h 6d Ks

A Peter C bet gets it through again.

More chips for Pete.

Dem Aces again for Jakub.

He raises to 325K (the blinds are now 80K/160K

Gwen 3 bets to 900K (ish)

Jakub flats

the flop comes  7 3 Q

Gwen leads for 700K with J 9 off.

The  Ad turn is checked by Gwenn.

675K is the bet from Jakub, Gwenn folds.

Xavier did a really cool thing on Day 3... he was next to the disabled gentleman who was in a wheelchair, after the break the disabled guy turned up to find all his chips had disappeared... 30k ish apparently... Xavier counted his chips and noticed he had 30k more than he thought. Turned out when the dealers were racing off the 500 chips, they had mistakenly given all the chips to Xavier as there was no chair for the other player. Bet alot of players wouldn't even  bother counting their chips, never mind admitting they think they had more than they thought... Karma.

That is good considering what the possible ruling miight have been, would like to think common sense would have taken place if Xavier had not of been like that as some players aren't.

Fun sweat watching Pete and Nick at the final.

Shame Zimbler is doing the commentary... I like having a contrast between Tighty's accessible commentary and a more high level pro's opinion. Need a bit more in-depth analysis to contrast. Tighty doing a great job though.

Nick Hicks is Jakub's next victim.

Nick has  Ahrt 4h

The min raise pre is called pre.

Jakub has K 2

The flop is

 Ac 2s 2d

Nick check calls the flop after Jakub bets 350K

Same again on the   8h turn with Nick calling off 1.1 million. The flush draw makes it more appealing.

Then the blank  6s see's Nick check call for his remaining chips.

Jakub makes the call.

Nick Hicks out in third and wins the last longer Blonde trophy.

Well done to the updaters, outstanding effort over so many days.

Massive congrats also to DTD for a fantastically successful tournament.  It was a real pleasure to have been at Wembley to share in the experience.

Finally, to Tighty, truly one of the unsung heroes of this success.  The continual flow of info across so many channels and communities over twelve weeks was very impressive and it sounds as if he made the most of his high profile commentating opportunity today.  I hope something even bigger comes from it, for him.  He's deserving.

Unlucky for Pete, but sick result and at least the way it played out vindicates his decision to deal.

turned on the stream, really want to hear tighty, but for that I have to hear zimbler. seriously why the fk does he keep getting asked to do this? why are you putting aids directly into my ears. awful, utterly awful.  just adds nothing.

A suggestion I just made on skype...

[4:58:40 PM] Andrew W: i'd rather hear the sound of the toilets
[4:58:47 PM] Andrew W: just put a mic in the mens cubicles
[4:58:51 PM] Andrew W: and let us listen to grunts and splatters.


def learn more.

I have no particular love for Mr Zimbler, but,

He's a decent bloke doing the job that the organisers chose him for and paid him to do.

It's a free service. You don't have to listen.

What gives you the right to go around insulting people like that?

Shame on you Andrew.

Thought you played OK on the final table along with Pete (who I thought played by far the best throughout), but Pete got quite a few hands though, it seems you was card dead throughout.

Well played both.

Over 5,000 people took part in the Day Ones and 761 played at Wembley Stadium in the most different Live tournament that any of them will have ever experienced.

Dusk Till Dawn added nearly €600,000 in overlay in what was at outset the most controversial tournamnet the global poker community has seen in years

With 12 weeks notice DTD stepped in, and the whirlwind since has been a logistical, if not financial, triumph

Now we are down to 6.
I hope the massive overlay doesn't dampen rob or dtds enthusiasm for poker cos boy does this country need them,no one else would have tried to make it work like they did.great reporting by the way.congrats mick

Xavier travelled from Calais to London without a seat and 500 euros to his name on Friday. Won the last chance live sat and turned it into over 200,000 euros.

He was a great character too, and a fantastic story for the event.

Nick Hicks finished 3rd.Nick was self critical of his final table performance but I genuinely felt he was short of cards and a bad seat meant he was short of spots

Great result Nick

Final table report from PokerNews

After several days of poker at the magnificent Wembley Stadium in London, Jakub Michalak emerged as the winner of the inaugural €3,000 buy-in International Stadiums Poker Tour (ISPT) Main Event.

Michalak is the top-ranked online player in Poland, according to PocketFives.com, and ranks in the top 50 in the world. He would be the first to admit he got lucky in two crucial pots against the aggressive Nottingham-based player Pete Linton, but he backed it up with intelligent and aggressive short-handed play to seal the victory.

Of course, with nearly €600,000 in overlay, there had been talk of a deal both Tuesday night and Wednesday morning before the final table began. The players spent the time before the final table hammering out the final details, which were as follows:
Player   Prize
Pete Linton   €375,000
Alban Juen   €290,000
Nick Hicks   €254,000
Gwendoline Janot   €243,000
Jakub Michalak   €236,000
Xavier El Fassy   €204,000

That left €200,000 for first place, making it a winner-take-all proposition and reducing the stress on all involved. Meanwhile, the chip counts and seating plan looked like this:
Position   Name   Chips
Seat 1   Pete Linton   11,070,000
Seat 2   Nick Hicks   6,230,000
Seat 3   Jakub Michalak   4,825,000
Seat 4   Alban Juen   7,615,000
Seat 5   Gwendoline Janot   5,880,000
Seat 6   Xavier El Fassy   4,555,000

The tournament final table was moved from the Bobby Moore Suite into a snug Executive Box Suite overlooking the Wembley pitch from a great height. The giant inflatable igloo-like domes that had housed 761 players a few days earlier had been removed, and the field was being worked on for the upcoming Bruce Springsteen concert.

Of course, there was no doubt who "The Boss" was going into the final table as Pete Linton was the only player with eight figures in chips, holding just over a quarter of the chips in play. But he suffered a big loss to Michalak early on when they went to war with kings and ace-queen, respectively. Linton remained unperturbed as he and Michalak continued to spar with one another in several pots as they tried to bluff and rebluff each other.

Gwendoline Janot was the first player eliminated. She was crippled after losing with pocket sevens to Xavier El Fassy's kings, and was knocked out on the very next hand by Michalak. Frenchman Alban Juen the next out. He'd started the day second in chips but after getting in a raising war against Linton, he was eliminated after losing the flip.
The ISPT Main Event final tableThe ISPT Main Event final table

After the earlier battles, it was inevitable that Michalak and Linton would get into another big pot, and more than half the chips in play went in the middle as Linton's ace-queen battled Michalak's king-jack.

The players took a dinner break, but after only 30 minutes, Nick Hicks, who'd been mostly card dead for the final table and playing snug, was caught when Michalak flopped trips against Hicks' top pair.

Michalak went into the heads-up with nearly an 8-to-1 chip lead over recreational player Xavier El Fassy, and it didn't take long for the chips to end up in the middle. El Fassy picked up kings against Michalak's ace-seven but an ace on the flop was followed by another on the river.

Echoing the most famous commentary at Wembley Stadium, “They think it's all over, it is now.” Michalak received €236,000 for his historic win at the legendary stadium.

There is no doubt that the ISPT has been considered controversial with many observers asking many questions about it. Could such an event ever truly be considered feasible? Why would Dusk Til Dawn, very respected in its own right, would partner up with such a tour? Although the numbers perhaps were not as high as the ISPT and DTD would've hoped, logistically the tournament was a success and there were very few complaints about anything. It will be interesting to see where both parties go after this event and what the future, if any, is for the ISPT

It's clearly been a great marketing success... difficult to quantify the future value of DTD's ISPT work, but the brand has been significantly enhanced in terms of exposure, reputation and ambition. Having run so smoothly at such short notice it has created a fantastic selling point for holding future ISPTs, UKIPTS, etc.
