Day 2 is from midday tomorrow, playing 8 levels

Sunday day 3 will be the long day, playing to a final

Final Monday 2pm


Please join me over the weekend, and please give shout outs to your favourites that you would like me to follow

Djinn through with 30k. Nicely nicely.


Looking forward to tomorrow's updates:

"Never get me playing a hand like that"

"When I was in this comp, folk didn't play hands that badly"

"Oh apparently there ARE ways to win in that spot(!) No one told my dealer yesterday..."


Such a shame you're way too classy for that, Tighty. The comp's loss is the audience's gain, though.

Prasanna shove 20,000

Call

Prasanna  Ac 9c

Deadman  Kh Qs

 Qc Tc 5h 5c 3d

to double Prasanna up, a temporary reverse for Deadman



Remember, I know its early and people are busy on a Saturday with stuff, but if you want an update on anyone just ask. I will go and find them and report back

You can help me through this long grind. Whoever dreamt up a six day £1k event needs speaking to! 

Looks like an extra in Brokeback Mountain

Simon Deadman loses another 40,000 unavoidably

KK on the button, shortstack Paul Grace shoves for 40,000

Call

Grace has Aces and the board runs out 8 high

---


Rupinder Bedi 2500 UTG

Chris Brammer calls in the big blind

 7s 4d 4h

Brammer check calls 2600

 5s

Brammer leads for 8,500

Bedi looks at Brammer, smiles, folds and lets out a trademark chuckle and says something to Brammer. Brammer, headphoned, remains impassive....

One of the chip leaders, if not the chip leader is Iason Riziotis with 125 left

He is on the Ben Sweetman/Perrins, Sean Randall, Ludovic Geilich table

As I took the photo I saw Randall win a nice pot against Perrins with  8s 6s rivering a flush

Chip updates on David Price, Ryan Spittles and James 'runnistran' (?) Please.

Young Anon opens to 3200 UTG

Ben Vinson 3 bets to 6400 UTG+1

Folded to Stuart Barnett in the small blind who shoves about 40,000

Anon folds

Vinson calls quickly

Stuart "I hope you were just messing about with him" and flips Ks Jc

Vinson though has a hand  Ahrt Kh and hold on a Q high board to knock Stuart out

Vinson must be close to the chiplead with around 100 left

ridiculously impressive tache though

Jamie Sykes meanwhile is up over 190,000

I spent some time watching his new table where he is oop to Marc Foggin and Sinem Melin

In one hand Ross Loggie raised in the small blind and Jamie called in the big blind

check check on  5d Ahrt 5c

Loggie lead 2,000 on  6c

Sykes 6,500 call

river  3h

Loggie check, Sykes 12,000 Loggie fold

--

Almost an orbit later Loggie button raised to 5200 at 800-1600 and Sykes picked up a big stack of blue 5,000 chips and put them over the line. Enough to set Loggie and big blind Foggin in

Fold Fold and Sykes continues to chip up

Meanwhile Jack Ellwood has knocked out Scott Shelley with Jacks against Nines pre

This isnow a ridiculous table. Either side of the dealer sit Ellwood and Eames, with Spraggons round the other side

Simon Deadman raises on the button

Paul Grace calls in the small blind

Jon Spinks calls in the big blind

Spinks leads 5900 on  Ts 6d Qc

Deadman calls

check check on  Aspades

Spinks 16,500 on the  2d river

Deadman a long think and fold


The battle between these two has a way to run I feel. So many good tables, only one pair of eyes unfortunately!

Rob Sherwood from Manchester is top ten in chips

I am a big fan of Rob as a player, and he is also an important person in the history of blondepoker, though not ma lot of people know that

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ge3VR4AJ8nU/Upn-qyfycKI/AAAAAAAAjXk/DUzKdNNczTw/w400-h597-no/DSC04547.JPG)

Here's a blast from the blonde past, especially for his Mum who I gather is watching the updates

ben Mayhew, erstwhile Sunday8pm on here. Going very well with nicely over 100,000

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-q6JaqMj_UZ4/Upn-tsP71oI/AAAAAAAAjXs/gM-om-ME1hM/w400-h597-no/DSC04548.JPG)

MickeyPeterson the Team pokerStars Pro and EPT Copenhagen winner

I don't think I have seen Mickey with an above average stack for 11 levels now, but there he is grinding away.

Not all about flair and bullying for these guys I suppose.

Yes still in, sitting next to Richard Lumberjack

I will do a proper count when I next walk past but she's doing well

Blinds up to 1000-2000

There are 97 left 71 paid

Average is 94,000

--

Simon Deadman back up to 130,000 Aces against Kings to knock out a short-stack for him

Has 180,000

"GorgeousDave" (someone gave him this nickname, there is no accounting for taste) tells me gouty will be here in a couple of hours

I have warned the staff.

I suspect he's quite pleased

Knitting it up



 ;marks;

gl everyone, so many good egg's still in!

Matt Perrins opens and Ludo Gelich defends in the big blind

10-8-7-2

Gelich check calls flop and river

Gelich "bombs" the river for 23,500 into 32,000

The river is a King, no flushes possible on the board

Perrins sets him in, covering

Gelich thinks and thinks and calls all in

Perrins shows him 6-9 for the flopped goodies

Gelich tells a table counterpart that he had 10-7


Perrins is a 300,000 chip leader with 90 left at 1-2k

Sylvia Hewitt about 110,000

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-mgUdNY-avaw/UpoI1XF0JeI/AAAAAAAAjZA/zbG6jPm1-lo/w400-h597-no/DSC04557.JPG)

Both the London Lamings looked like going very deep in this, but I believe Danny went out 10 minutes or so ago though

Here's Joe Laming, on one of the quieter tables (for action) and making hay

Full chip count coming at the end of the break I gather, so all good.

Back in 15.

great work as always tighty, ul in tourney and gl to dave harris

need a rexas report please tighty!

I walkedpast before the break

I couldn't miss him, he looked like an extra from prison Break Series 1

"Hey tighty" he whispered conspiratorially

I readied my pad and pen for some glorious hand details

"I am crap at this game but I am sure lucky"

and that was that

I walked off, having not been told anything new.

Had a quick chat with LeKnave just before the break

He is up to 250,000 and I asked what had been happening

"Keep getting Aces and Kings, keep getting paid"

was the welcome response

blinds are now going 1200-2400 and average is 120,000 or so so he's well placed

So we are hand for hand across 12 tables

Unsurprisingly its taking a while, with few short-stacks


Darrell O'Kearney shoved his last 35,000 in the cut off

Dave Jones called in the small blind


The players had to wait for all tables to finish to flip their cards

A player said to me "He has Aces"

O'Kearney flips two black Aces

Jones AQhh

flop A-4-2 rainbow

and we are still 72 left 71 paid on a £1800 bubble

6-7-9-Q-2 doubles Gotch up and on we go

Good luck to Ganesh Jayaraman - Vinodh

blinds up now 1500-3000 ra 400 as the pressure ratchets up on the shorties

We are 45 minutes into hand for hand, have had two all in and calls only.

someone's making a killing I guess

David Jones is doing his best to take us through the bubble

Darrah O'Kearney shoves again, and this time has around 50,000

Jones calls in the blinds with 7-7

O'Kearney has two red Kings

4-8-2-3-5

O'Kearney doubles through again

The bubble has burst......

Please keep me posted on Maurice Samuels' progress throughout the tournament. He is a genuine great guy. And an absolute sicko to boot. Don't be fooled by his grey hair. He got da mooooves!

He's just lost a big one to Jamie Sykes

I didn't see it, but saw the aftermath with Sykes up to 290,000 and a second tower of blues to add to his stack

Samuels down under 100,000

Jamie can provide the details he was understandably reluctant to talk me through it when sat side by side with Maurice

ben Rivera raises in second position and Dahe Liu shoves, for 34,000 more

Rivera shrug priced in calls with  Tc 8c

Liu  Ahrt Qh

 7s 9s Kh 9d 6c

knocks Liu out around 60th as we approach the break after six levels today

Sigh for Maurice, but at least the chips went to Jamie.

Looking at the chip counts it seems Maurice Samuels has made a huge comeback since getting crippled by Jamie. Any details on how he did this? Chipping up slowly, or did he win a big'un?

I will ask Jamie who is to his left

Lost a big pot to Jamie, then next time I went past had added two stacks of blues again so I would say a big un.

Well ask Maurice himself. He's a really nice guy. Tell him I'm asking after him.  Total legend. He made a sick £1,000 bluff vs me at padooki last week.

Go on Vinod!!!

"Maurice, Stuart is asking after you. How are you getting on?"

blank look

"Stuart, the padooki bluff?"

A broad grin stretches across his face, his mood at once lightened

"Well I am getting nuffin', but I am still in, got a chance"

"You had a big hand just after the break?"

"getting nuffin'"

and with that he turned away, small talk over for now

Boba Fett and Jamie Sykes play a pot that sees Boba check raise from the small blind on a Q-8-4 flop and Sykes folds

One of the best fields you could ever wish to see, if following UK Poker. Lets hope it makes for exciting final stages over the next 48 hours..


Eames, Ellwood, Sykes, Brammer, Deadman, Bedi, Mementmori, Mayhew, Kellett, Spraggons, Laming, Perrins, Sherwood, Dave Jones, Sinem, McTaggart alongside locals like Vinodh, a smattering of Irish raiders like Emmitt Mullins and long term circuit regs like Tim Hong Wong

from Nick with permission, while I was writing

7.50pm: Eames makes quads
John Eames just took a big pot from Ben Spraggons to climb to around 350,000. I only saw the river action but with a full board of Q♥8♥Q♠6♦Q♥ on the felt Eames (small blind) bet 34,000 into a pot of around 85,000. Spraggons (button) tanked for a while before calling, Eames showed K♠Q♦ for quads and Spraggons mucked.

Meanwhile Tim Wong is the probable chip leader as he's up to 510,000. -- NW

This is secondhand from Ben Mayhew....trying to be in several places at once, the Stars updaters and I, so grateful to any player info to piece occasional hands together


Tim Wong is a 725,000 chip leader

He knocked out Richard Kellett to get there

Wong called flop turn and river shove with 7-7 on 8-6-2-3-Q and was good against A-3

Nick Gavriel raises otb

Ben Vnson 3 bets in the small blind

Gavriel 4 bets

Vinson 5 bet shoves for 170,000

Tony Salmon flats in the big

Eames calls too

Wheeler leads for 22,000

Salmon 46,000

Eames folds

Wheeler chuckle folds


Salmon is from Derbyshire, DTD Satellite qualifier, more than holding his own as we head to the last half an hour of play today

8.25pm: More big pots with Petersen
Mickey Petersen is seemingly involved in a big pot every single hand. First he knocked out Jack Ellwood, the latter all-in pre for 70,000 with Q J  and up against Petersen's pocket threes. A jack on the flop gave Ellwood the lead but a three on the river boosted Petersen to 375,000.

Then he opened to 10,000 under-the-gun, Sergio Aido three-bet to 27,000 from the big blind, Petersen four-bet, I know not how much because before I could count it Aido had moved all-in and Petersen had called. Aido was all-in for 228,000.

Aido: A♣K♥
Petersen: A♥Q♦

The 9♦3♠6♠8♣7♣ board doubled Aido to 460,000 and dropped Petersen to 140,000. -- NW

COME ON TANGO!!!

Paul McTaggart raises and Chris Brammer 3 bets him

Laming up over 400,000
