Title: UKIPT Six Max at DTD: £500,000 GTD, final Post by: TightEnd on December 02, 2013, 01:27:23 PM Chip Counts for the final at 2pm
In seat Order Tim Wong 447,000 Sergio Aido 1,342,000 Ben Vinson 1,648,000 David Clifton-Burraway 2,200,000 Tony Salmon 1,996,000 Ben Mayhew 1,451,000 blinds are 15-30k 1st £100,000 2nd £60,450 3rd £43,200 4th £34,000 5th £26,750 6th £20,700 Title: Re: UKIPT Six Max at DTD: £500,000 GTD, final Post by: TightEnd on December 02, 2013, 01:29:02 PM PS Player Profiles
Seat 1: Tim Hong Wong, 45, Malaysia - 447,000 Wong, better known as 'Ken', is a 45-year old live poker player who lives in Vauxhall, London. Originally from Malaysia, Wong was a chef in a takeaway restaurant until 2006 when he started to play poker full-time. The 45-year old has promised to make the press team Kung Po Chicken if he takes home the title tomorrow! Seat 2: Sergio Aido, 25, Spain - 1,342,000 Spaniard Sergio is no stranger to the UKIPT, having won UKIPT3 London last year - impressive since he's only been playing live poker for a year and a half. He is more familiar with the online game, and came 5th in the 2013 PokerStars SCOOP for $313,200. Sergio moved to Hammersmith eight months ago and although he professes to having spent most of the last few months concentrating on his poker, he still follows his local football club, Gijon. Seat 3: Ben Vinson, 26, United Kingdom, 1,648,000 Ben Vinson is a vastly experienced 26-year-old professional poker player who is originally from London but now calls Derby home. That makes Dusk Till Dawn his local card room, but he's travelled far and wide in search of a game. He's made the trip to Macau on at least half a dozen occasions for high stakes cash games and has had big tournament scores in London, Deauville, Monte Carlo, Galway and Cannes, including a 13th place finish at the EPT Grand Final in 2012. His Dad Alan is also a regular tournament player with over $750,000 in lifetime earnings; in fact Vinson Jr. must win tomorrow if he wants to better his dad's best live score of £83,000. If he does so then his Dad will be on hand to buy him a pint, as he's travelling up from London to rail. Seat 4: David Clifton-Burraway, 30, United Kingdom, PokerStars Qualifier, 2,200,000 This 30-year-old Londoner is more used to playing cash games than tournaments but that hasn't stopped him from taking the chip lead to the final table. He made the transition from online poker to live poker about three years ago and now plays in £5/£10 games and higher at various London card rooms and says the biggest pot he's won is in the region of £25,000. However, the Arsenal fan could've played against his all-time football hero Dennis Bergkamp had life panned out differently. A Youth Team prospect at Scunthorpe, the striker instead went to University and then did an MBA in America on a football scholarship. However, he says that if he wasn't playing poker he couldn't work a 9-5 job. Seat 5: Tony Salmon, 50, United Kingdom, 1,996,000 Just like Robert Baguley did last year, Tony Salmon, 50, will be hoping to score one for the older gents and keep the UKIPT title in Nottingham. He's local to the club and qualified on Dusk Till Dawn Poker for just £100. He's retired, having sold his company in 2008, and has been playing poker for six years. His biggest result came in 2008 when he finished 22nd in the Irish Open, winning €18,000. Although he's had several big scores at Dusk Till Dawn, he's already eclipsed his best cash here which is £8,500. When not playing poker he likes to play golf and although he doesn't have an official handicap he reckons that he plays off 14. A father of three and grandfather of three, he has obviously passed on the poker gene, as his youngest son, who's 21, plays online with some success. Seat 6: Ben Mayhew, 27, Bury St. Edmonds, PokerStars Player - 1,451,000 Professional poker player Ben is fairly new to the UKIPT, having played his first-ever stop of the tour at UKIPT4 Isle of Man last month. With at least £20,700 now guaranteed, Mayhew has now achieved his biggest-ever live win, with his previous record of £7,200 now obliterated. He says, however, that it's all about the title for him and he will be coming back tomorrow with that at the forefront of his mind. Mayhew plays football for his local team, Stanton FC, but he says that he's sure his teammates will forgive him as he'll be buying the first round next week!

David Clifton-Burraway still leads ahead of DTD Online Qualifier Tony Salmon Ben Vinson and Sergio Aido are side by side and eyeing each other warily in the odd pot they play together like a pair of lions about to battle for the affections of a lioness.

Salmon raised on the button to 120,000, Ben Mayhew three-bet to 265,000 and Salmon smooth called. On the 5♦7♣5♥ flop Mayhew c-bet 240,000 and Salmon flat called. The 2♦ turn was checked to Salmon, he bet 375,000 and Mayhew made the call. The K♥ completed the board, Mayhew checked again and called again when Salmon bet 420,000. "King high," said Salmon although that was erroneous as he showed K♠9♠ for two-pair. "You don;t have to slowroll me," said Mayhew. "It wasn't a slowroll," countered Salmon. "Just say you've got two-pair," shot back Mayhew. There's a little bit of tension between these two now and after that hand Salmon is up to 3,700,000 whilst Mayhew is down to 1,525,000. -- NW Title: Re: UKIPT Six Max at DTD: £500,000 GTD, final Post by: PokerGirlie on December 02, 2013, 07:33:42 PM At the end of the first 50 minutes play there is a break Chip Counts are Tim Wong 720,000 Sergio Aido 1,095,000 Ben Vinson 1,240,000 David C-B 3,010,000 Tony Salmon 1,885,000 Ben Mayhew 1,130,000 blinds go 20-40k now Go on babe!

Title: Re: UKIPT Six Max at DTD: £500,000 GTD, final Post by: SuuPRlim on December 02, 2013, 08:25:30 PM The K♥ completed the board, Mayhew checked again and called again when Salmon bet 420,000. "King high," said Salmon although that was erroneous as he showed K♠9♠ for two-pair. "You don;t have to slowroll me," said Mayhew. "It wasn't a slowroll," countered Salmon. "Just say you've got two-pair," shot back Mayhew. bit douchey this imo.

Mayhew on the button playing 3.15m and A-6o Salmon in the blind playing 6m and K-Qo J-3-J-4-9 doubles Mayhew up and reverses the chip positions Title: Re: UKIPT Six Max at DTD: £500,000 GTD, final Post by: TightEnd on December 02, 2013, 08:43:01 PM The next confrontation did not take long
Tony on the button with 66 and Ben in the blind with AK got it all in pre The board ran out K-8-J-5-8 Which meant that Ben Mayhew became the UKIPT Six Max Champion for over £72,800 As the river card was placed on the board Ben put his hands over his eyes and fell backwards onto the floor, on which he stayed for some time almost unable to comprehend that he had won One sensed that this was a very important victory for him When he got to his feet, red faced and misty eyed, Tony Salmon was waiting for him to shake hands and congratulate him Ben's rail of 5-6, presumably from Bury St Edmunds way, roared their approval as applause rang out across the room Title: Re: UKIPT Six Max at DTD: £500,000 GTD, final Post by: mondatoo on December 02, 2013, 08:45:16 PM Congrats winners.

Great updates as usual Tighty, thanks. ^^^ This ^^^ Title: Re: UKIPT Six Max at DTD: £500,000 GTD, final Post by: TightEnd on December 02, 2013, 08:48:32 PM Ben was reluctant to speak to the bloggers just after he won. He was in tears
Given a bit of space first, he spoke to the Stars reps and told them that he had lost his Dad in March, and he was getting overcome with emotion heads up and immediately afterwards. Every time he had an all in on the final he was imagining that he would win the hand for his Dad. His brother is here watching him, I gather, too As was reported yesterday and today Ben had 4 or 5 situations when he needed to win from way behind when the money went in and did so on each occasion, and eventually scooped the lot. Well done.

Not sure what happened before, although, i would say an honest mistake after 4 days of mental poker was pounced upon by some. Respect Tony Salmon! Massive thanks to Mr T End!!!!

"Thank you all so much for your support over the weekend. It is truly overwhelming. I had a lot of luck, against some very very good players and I feel blessed to have taken the trophy. So many people gave me so many kind words throughout the 4 days and I remember every single one of you, it helped me no end. I look forward to defending my title at the £1m GTD at DTD next April and maybe see some of you in Edinburgh in January. Thank you again - A truly humbled Ben Mayhew" |
