come on JP!!

The live stream should be starting about now on DTD site and the Genting blog with JP Kelly on the feature tables

Its a half hour delay, and because of that its unlikely I will be able to cover the final much because of spoilers - they want people to watch the stream, obviously, not get the info from a live update

Good luck Jason Beazley  :)up

He raised five hands in a row, to 80,000 each time

three folds picking up the blinds and antes

Flop 5-A-A

Mats Rosen out in 13th , Coore up to 20x bb

Another exit on the feature and we are down to 11


Feedback please: are you watching the live stream?

You'd prefer no spoilers on here during the final?

watching stream...is it likely you'll be stopping updates once the final starts?

Well I haven't been asked to commentate you'll be pleased to know

I think Genting would rather me not spoil, and make sure people still watch the stream.

Usual problem of updates trying to co-exist with a stream on a 30 min delay

Asif Raja button raises and Stacey Coore calls in the small blind

9-4-8 rainbow

Coore check raises all in, called

Raja A-9

Coore K-9

Top top holds to knock Stacey Coore out 11th


Final table bubble time

Not watching the stream, no, I want to be able to jump in & out of the Update.

Not sure it is correct that those who don't watch the stream get denied a proper written update, because of spoilers, but that is the Sponsors wish, so we must accept it. In reality, what it means is that I don't bother with reading the Update. Doubt I'm alone, either.

Must be galling for you, having reported for 3 days, & worked hard, to suddenly have to sit on your hands & effectively abandon your Update.

id rather have the updates live on here

sigh :( ul

Nothing would make me watch the stream, watching poker does not interest me enough. Updates & Live Streams, imo, struggle to co-exist. One or other works for me, but not both.

Obv, I'm grateful that Genting & DTD at least try, but I'm not convinced the two platforms, written & streamed, co-exist well. The delay on the Stream is the reason, of course. I understand the reason for the delay, of course, but it is a proper spanner in the works.

Won't be watching the stream, will follow updates.

Such sigh for James, just lolz poker.

I can see it from the point of view of the organiser. The stream costs a pretty penny (equipment, manpower, bandwidth) and is the focal point for people to watch from the point of view of the Tour

Anyway, I am yet to find a proper solution to updating finals in print in a live stream world


We've hit the final real time and it is due to start at 7pm real time, which is 7.30pm for you



JP Kelly
Simon Deadman
Chris Vernon

are amongst the final nine, and I reckon it should be a good watch

I have a DTD poker league to run from 8pm-midnight and rely on updates..seems fair as ive watched from 1st min of play....great work tighty,thank you.

sighhhhh. Vernon pleaaaaaaaase win the lot.

Obv rooting for a couple of others, but would love to see a guy fairly new to the game ship the lot.

I might just update it as normal, until I get told not too. Rebel, me

If you don't want to risk spoilers, please don't check the updates after 7pm

thank you...

Well yes, absolutely. But it just means many of us, who prefer not to have to watch a Live Stream for 10 hours, lose our traditional update. I have things to do, allotment to weed - I may even be playing poker on Genting or DTD! - so I can't stay glued to a stream all day. With a written update, I can pop in & out, & not miss anything.

I still think Genting & DTD are offering us something for nothing, I accept that, so am not complaining, just answering your questions.

Are deals allowed?

Deadman, Vernon,  JP 1-2-3

Yes deals are permitted

Same here, not interested in watching the stream.

I like your updates and it's a shame that you are being constrained.

That structure has worked well.  Everyone has 40 bigs or more, nobody too big.  Should be a good final.

Tough seat draw for Verndog! Take it down anyway son! GLGLGL

Seconded! I like checking the updates threads.

Also, GL to Verndog and Simon Deadman!

Watching paint dry is more exciting that watching live poker.  Much prefer the written updates.   Its all personal opinion though.

JP Kelly - 2x WSOP bracelet winner and EPT finalist. $2.6m in live winnings

Asif Raja. DTD regular with 15 cashes in major DTD events and two GPS cashes

Tim Slater. GUKPT and UKIPT finalist, his 5th GPS cash

Michael Richardson. His first major event cash

Neils Ladefoyed. English Poker Open and Vic European Championships finalist

Stuart Giulian. Qualifier from Edinburgh, only his third live cash

Grant Mercado, from Brighton. Already his biggest live cash

Chris Vernon. Student from Loughborough University, originally from Kent. Fixated with bad hats

Simon Deadman, GUKPT, WPT Dublin and DTD Deepstack winner. $700k of live winnings


....your finalists

Really hope Simon can take it down, but gonna be a very interesting final either way. 

Unequivocally this.

Just caught up with this blog, and agree its better than livestream. Once again tighty you have done a marvelous job. Gl to all finalists , and may the cards be with you...

Maybe only update events where there are no unexpected constraints ?

Seems like a plan

Hmmm... you can't expect there to be unexpected constraints. Unless of course you are referring to expecting there to be expected unexpected constraints ;)

Oh man, Dick Cheney in da house

My deep and nuanced knowledge of world affairs does not extend to peripheral figures in US politics. So I don't understand the Cheney reference. I was only messing around fwiw.

of course :-) He made a quite excellent address about known knowns, known  unknowns, and unknown unknowns and I thought your post was a pretty good take on this

Ah right. Well that fact about Cheney was hitherto an unknown unknown for me. Now, however, it has become a known unknown. And perhaps when I google it, it will become a known known. Or maybe I might shortly remember that I already knew about it. In which case I guess it would be an unknown known right now. I have no way of knowing whether it is currently an unknown known or a known unknown.

well you've lost me.

The final table annoncements are being made now

A reminder, to avoid spoilers for the live stream don't check the updates.

Real time, we should be underway shortly

Okay Dave, to clarify...

It is a known unknown that I don't know whether Cheney's speech about known unknowns and unknown knowns is currently a known unknown or an unknown known to me.

I must say, this is far more entertaining than reading that clueless idiots play A-J. That much is known.

Good luck to all the Finalists.

Call

Deadman AA

Kelly AKo

Deadman four flushes in clubs for good measure to knock JP Kelly out in 9th place

Just to help out this is abit wrong.

On the river Guiland held AJO and Mercado bet 600K, Guiland made the hero call with ace high.

Vernon holding JQo. Richardson 10 10

Can't remember exact details but Richardson was bluffing. Ladefoyed had 99.

Richardson is impressing on the stream to my eyes, made a couple of good bluffs and wasnt afraid to unload the clip.

He had AJ. He's picking his spots really nicely, this and the TT hand vs Vernon were spots where he could have slowed down but picked really nice spots

Grant Mercado!!! Go on lad!

Slater calls with A-J and is against A-9

He doubles to over 5m on 3-6-6-J6

Sorry this is completely wrong as well.

Deadman had the KK.

Mercado had AKo

Bet sizing is correct.

Flop ran out with 3 hearts not 4 and the KK held.

Long weekend Tighty?

^I am going blind clearly. Tired.

Can imagine i'm not being awkward just trying to help.

Guiland jams 9x bb in the cut off and Richardson calls in the big blind with 4-4

Guiland has 7-2 off

7 in the door, 5-8-5-3 to double him up


they've gone on a break

Seems normal in a comp with 5 left and 80k up top. How much did the other players have to give him for winning with that one?

The rivered Ace doubles Richardson up

You'd have been told if there were

I would be mightily surprised if Simon deals with the chip lead and two short-stacks out of 4. Why would he?

No need to say what a good player deadman is but if am not wrong he hit like 5 sets when people had an over pair to him!!! ;gobsmacked;

richardson got nine lives!  I cant see any deals being done till heads up between tim and simon

they are now on a break going back to 80-160k blinds


Deadman 14m
Slater 8m
Richardson 2m

by my eye counts

Richardson doubles through Deadman, KJ v 88 all in pre

10-A-K-4-5

He's up to over 4m

Play was paused for 15 minutes while they had deal discussions

payouts were 80-44-27

70-40-40 was on the cards but one of the two shorter-stacks turned it down


so now we play on

oh now they are talking again

They dealt

Simon £70k

Tim and Michael £40k

Playing for £1500 and the trophy


Wasn't within earshot of any change of heart, but that was the upshot

Slater A-10 and Deadman A-Q get it in

9-6-4-5-10

Slater doubles

absolutely ridiculous deal for simon unless the chip counts are skewed way more than i think

Simon of the Deadman.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Sick deal. Well done mate!

13-7-4m?

live stream will give you the exact figures

Gonna ask for Simon to come along when I go looking for a new car.

WP Simon! Brilliant :)

WOW that deal!

I think deal was done when they were 15m/4.5m/4.5m

lol wp

Slater doubles through Deadman again A4 v K10 b-o-b

blinds up to 100-200k

Slater with 54hh doubles through Deadman with two pair, all in on the turn with Slater the flush

Deadman short now

They are playing for £1500 and the trophy as seriously as at any point since the final began 6 hours ago

Average is still 35x bb, and in any all in confrontation of which there are very few the shorter stack doubles

I run good :-)

50p

Knew that would work

Simon busts Tim Slater in 3rd

Who cares about the hands (no offence Tim) I can almost see my pillow.

Michael Richardson from Newcastle qualified in a Genting Newcastle live satellite for peanuts.

Great effort to get Heads Up

Richardson gets his first double up QJ v A7

3-9-10-J-3 board

love to say thanks for the rail guys/ support! 7k is huge for me/ anyone and played solidly all weekend. love to know what people thought of hands on the live stream. thanks again, rumour has it verndog was thinking of starting a blog!!

Tightly gone home with a migraine (pffftttt half a job) and asked if I could add some key hands.

Simon just got ATo in vs A4dd for the win.

4 on flop to leave him short stack with about 6m to 17m at 120/240k blinds.

All in and call

All suits live

Anyone watching the stream, take a close look at Paul the dealers eyebrows.

Very sculptured for a man with a beard, I think you'll agree.

All in and a call! Nail biting stuff, even the guy asleep on the rail is up for this one!!

Good game!

paul england and matt harris lookalikes?

Step aside Tighty, we have a new star updater. Detail, detail, detail.

Well done Mr Deadman, who just keeps getting lucky, time after time. Pretty sure he is Thewy's love-child.

Many thanks to DTD & Genting for the Update, & especially to Tighty, who has been unwell the last few days, but stuck to his task somehow. 

Great updates tighty. Really enjoyed them. Marathon stuff. And well done again to Deadman. Great guy- inspirational stuff

Top work by Tighty and Deadman.

that deal!

For Mitch to be that focused is a testament to DTD closing their kitchens at 2am.

Great effort this week Tighty

And Simon - run better mate ;)

any ideas where you can watch the recorded FT stream?

Sick deal. These days online it's pretty difficult to get anything other than ICM. Life tho.

If it was a Dtd run comp they'd have to play it out

Well Done all, big shout out for Verndog, worth the three day rail.

Master class performance by Simon, watched his attitude and his table presence, Perfect.

Another great run and performance by Simon. Always great to chat to and play against and now revealed he is a sick deal maker to add to his armoury. Wp all, great event!
