Skeldon goes into the tank. I think it might be the longest think I have encountered in hundreds of these events

He carries on thinking

McLellan's Adam's apple is bobbing. I wonder if Skeldon notices. He doesn't as his hoodie is on and he is rocking back and forth in his seat

I think McLellan is anxious, anyway

Skeldon eventually folds and McLellan flips the bluff-tastic  7s 4s

Skeldon "I ******* knew it!" and throws his head back

McLellan affords himself an almost imperceptible smile

there were, in the end 110 entries and re-entries today so we are now at 155 with Saturday to come, 145 required to hit £150,000

tonight with three levels to play blinds  go 500-1000, average 81,000

13 went through last night, expecting 20-30 tonight.

Chip leader I think is Dean Czyz with 155,000

With 50 left, 4 of the 7 chip leaders are sat in a row on table 21


With a combined age of over 250

Mark Wates, Anthony Nicholls, Greek Jack and Anthony Arlott each with 150,000+ and pretty much triple average at 500-1000


the other chip leaders are Duncan McLellan (the man is aggressive, constant shoves, big raises, putting opponents to the test), and Dean Czyz and Doig Rudling on his table too

Two of the six remaining tables are very top heavy in chips compared to the rest

Raggy Clarke raises on the button

Rana Gurnam shoves 21,000 small blind

Anthony Gardner re-shoves for 28,000 big blind

Clarke calls both

Clarke K-Q

Gurnam 10-10

Gardner A-K

An Ace arrives on the turn to triple Gardner up and knock out Gurnam

Brijesh Das raises to 2500

Kev Smith three bets 6300

Das shoves for 65,000

Smith is holding AK platying 60,000

He calls

Das has 5-5

The pair holds to win a 125,000 flip for Das and knock Smith out

Raggy Clarke raises from a 50,000 stack with 9-10ss

Prasanna S re-raises

Clarke 4 bet jams the suited connecter

Call

Aces

flop 9-9-----A

Prasanna knocks Raggy out. That's another entry for tomorrow then

Chinese Frankie is an early chip leader winning a big pot against Maurice Samuels

Frankie in the big blind with Q-Q flopped K-Q-J all diamonds

led flop and called

led 5 turn and called

led 5 river, housing him up and Samuels folded

--

Meanwhile two tables along there is a limped pot between three players

on a A-2-4 flop there are five raises, and the A-2 of George Peppercorn moves all in on the last

Paul Hardwidge finds a call all in with.....3-3

4 turn

8 river


and we have our first exit of the 80 runners so far today

Impossible!

God gave me one more brain cell than the average amoeba!

Good luck to all Blondes left in, but pretty sure our mate Derbylad has this one....!!!

The only view I've had since he arrived

Any ideas?

Late etnry for another couple of levels, so with 145 required total the guarantee is going to be tight

I wonder where everyone is today.

Quite surprised at numbers. Must be a lot of Rugby fans about, that or the weather + saving monies for UKPC.

G2L

Is it just me that thinks that £500 is considerably less appealing than £300?

Tasos Grigoriou is the chipleader

3 hands in quck succession

He raised in the cut off and Chris Sly called in the big blind

Sly check called 7-K-K

and check raised on the A turn

call

Grigoriou K-Q

Sly K-5

Queen on the river

--

He then called a raise with Q-5 in the big blind

flopped second pair, turned two pair and Umar Khan shoved with top pair

--

Umar rebought, sat down again and then had flush under flush against the same player to do two bullets in ten minutes

Nick Hicks raied and Niren Hindocha 3 bet him from the small blind

Hicks shoved a below average stack with Q-Q

Hindocha called with K-K

flop 4-8-Q to double Hicks up

Any news on Chris Vernon and is his hat really that bad??

Gary Holden, looking glum and determined

Tasos can't quite beleive he's got 150,000 at 250-500

That's what calling raises with Q-5 will get you. You, not me.

Right 7 levels into today as we hit the third break

123 entries, so far showing 11 re-entries and that closes in 25 minutes

10 short of the GTE, going to be a player or two either way I suppose


With 94 of 134 currently left the blinds go 300-600 after the break, playing to around 11pm

exits

95    James Metcalf
96    Asif Raja
97    Anthony Nicholls
98    Stephen Ayres
99    Paul Jackson
100    Andy Priestley
101    David Nisbet
102    David Lhonore
103    Umar Khan


 

Will check and yes. I put a photograph up earlier

 

The £150 Deepstack has a £30,000 GTE, open to 9.45pm

Currently 65 runners and a £20,000 overlay

If you have Saturday night free...you could do worse....

wish I lived in nogttingham, cause that is a sick overlay which I would have loved to get involved in!!

how are the welsh lads doing in the deep stack??  ceri rees and julian davies updates please!!

Update on Gary Holden please Tighty...

Thanks in advance...

While he is shortstacked and looking miserable he is getting a massage.

I think he might smile if he doubles up

Both still in. So is Julian's ludicrous hat

Both above average stacks

Carol Nichols limps

Like a Hammerhead shark about to punce on its prey Simon Deadman limps on the button

Both blinds complete/check including Neil Strike in the big blind

9-3-6

Strike leads for 1,000 at 300-600 and Deadman is the only caller

8 turn

Strike checks

Deadman 5200

Strike checks his cards, raises an eyebrow, looks at Simon and calls

river A

No flushes possible

Strike checks

Deadman 8,000

Strike check raises to 16,000

A bit of speech play which I miss because I am looking at a new valet

I look back to the table

Deamn folds and Strike it Lucky shows him 10-7 suited for the turned nuts

thanks rich,  will have to have words about that hat when i see him!! :)

The final number of runners is I think 138

Making 293 total and 7 short

We are now into Level 9 400-800

138 today, 86 left

Tasos Grigoriou is still chip leader


Any counts you want just holler. Keep me going, getting too old for this.

Chris Vernon is out

Most of the damage was done when he lost with a set of Jacks against A-K which turned a broadway straight

He then shoved second pair on the flop and had run into a set, his opponent turned Quads


He's taken his hat off, so that is some consolation

Alex Spencer opens in the cut off

Gary Holden shoves 14,000 on the button

Lalith Sheena in the big blind reshoves 60,000

Spencer CALLS all in with Q-Q

Sheena has A-K

Unlucky Gary, who flips A-J


Flop 2-J-2

turn J

Thats the treble up then

Queens win the side pot


Holden has progressed since and now has 55,000 at 4-800, average 50,000

We have a new chip leader with 180,000

I asked him for the details

"Nothing big, just chipping up". Which isn't really the wham-bam quote I was looking for, but it is what it is

He is Tommy Bingham

With about 70,000, Maria Demtriou has her first stack to play with in about 15 of these I have reported on

She is co-tabling with stato and Chris Sly

After 9 levels 73 of 138 left, next break

blinds go 500-1000

average is 56,000


With 42 through before today we are set to bring back around 40 from today and c80-85 for tomorrow to fight over the £150,000 prize pool


There is still a £14,000 overlay in the 150, late reg open to 9.45pm. If you are close enough, come and grab a share of the value

Did derbylad's dog die today or something?

With the average 60,000 at 500-1000 and 69 left

It is checked to Ish Sadiq, the second of the four callers who bets 3,000

Van Phan calls

Sunil Mistri calls in the big blind

Only Lalith Sheena folds


4 ways to a King turn, with now two flush draws on board

All check

8 river, not completing a flush

All check again

Ish flips two red nines

Holden flips...Aces, and wins the pot as the others muck

 

Andrew Tuxworth knocked Maria Demtriou out. She was moved tot able Goulder, lost some chips then raised with 9-9

Andrew Tuxworth moved in from the bigt blind with A-K, she called and he won the flip

Big blind to Deadman's button, David Miiligan just tried a 3 bet bluff. Didn't end too well for the domestic consultant from Lincoln

Simon Deadman calls on the button

Gary Holden all in 79,000 in the small blind

Deadman calls

Holden A-3ss

Deadman A-Jo

Deadman knocks out Holden on 2-10-8-A-J

There are six tables left and walking around them just now I think Willie Tann and Greek Jack are chip leaders with nearly 300,000 each at 2000-4000

--

One table in particular has an interesting dynamic. Tommy Bingham and Simon Deadman sandwich a number of smaller stacks such as David Milligan, Richard Rudders and Andrew Wayman

Simon keeps showing me his cards when the hand concludes. On one particular hand Bingham did too. He raised, Deadman three bet and Bingham 4 bet

Deadman folded. Showed me. Bingham beckoned me over. Showed me. I wondered if they were playing blackjack and wanted doubling sown advice, not poker

--

Elsewhere on the next table Jamie Sykes has 210,000 and is now next to Mark Wates with just a bit less. Tom Ambler 170,0000 and Martyn Frey a similar stack are also on this table

--

At the far end of the room British Gas and Kevin Houghton are sat side by side, both with over 200,000

--

In the middle Lee Taylor and Ish the fish are chip leaders on one table, with Junior Hill clinging on grinding a short-stack

--

On the middle tier a table with Anthony Arlott and Ceri Rees is quite fun. Arlott just bet the river of 5-4-4-4-5 into Rees, who called with A-K and chopped with Q-9. This is Willie Tann's table. Willie finalled the £40,000 GTD last week

Ronaldo update pls!!!

Mr Houghton with plenty of DTD chippies in front of him!!! Photo please

Doig Rudling raises to 8,000

Masud Prodhan makes it 16,000

Prodhan calls all in for 120,000

So we have a 250,000 pot

Prodhan Aces

Rudling Sevens

Rudling now a 375,000 chip leader after cracking the Aces

Kenneth Grafton 470,000

Willie Tann 460,000

Laith Sheena 380,000

Chris Seider 350,000

Simon Deadman 300,000

A big pot creates a new leader

In the small blind Suited Anon with Queens has 300,000

In the big blind Laith Sheena has A-K and covers

Totting up its a 660,000 pot

All in pre after I think 5 raises.

Sheena hits an Ace on the flop to go to a big chip lead and knock Suited out

Simon Deadman raises to 12,000

Shane Cattell calls in the big blind

Tc 5h  Aspades

check check

Stuart Brownson gets his final 75,000 in with 10-10 against Chris Seider with A-Kcc in the big blind

the flop comes 7-8-9

the turn though is a King, river 9 and we lose Brownson in 41st

Martyn Frey is giving as good as he gets on table 13

Tom Ambler opened to 12,000

Jamie Sykes called and on the button Frey deliberately measured out then bet 75,000

eliciting two quick folds

--


On the fare table Guy Barron got his last 40,000 in with K-J in the small blind against James bott on the button with 6-6

Sixes held to knock Barron out 40th

--

On a near table Willie Tann has a really good seat, in the blinds to Bingham and Deadman in the cut-off, Button, covering both.

Some initial signs since Tann moving there that is slowing Deadman down a bit, not so easy to win ophan pots out of position to a bigger stack in the hands of the experienced player 

Junior is out 39th, short and button shoves 6-8cc

Carol Nicholls in the small blind has Aces and holds to knock Junior out


37 left, 36 paid. Hand for hand.....

On the bubble Martin Hogarty raises on table Deadman-Tann

In the big blind David Milligan who has been conducting a never ending vigil over his short-stack for several hours, shoving once every couple of rounds uncalled to keep his head above water.....

Shoves for 49,000 at 3-6k

Hogarty calls with Tens

Milligan has Aces

Aces double Milligan up on 9-2-K-3-2


We are still hand for hand

Massive GL to Neil marshall please Tighty!

Neil runs the local Legion poker league and patiently listens to every bad beat story that never was plus explanations of why a player made such a move etc, without ever betraying his real emotions. Polite to one and all, regardless of their development on the Cro Magnon scale.

Deserves to win for this alone.

The bubble has burst in another monster pot

I only arrived on the river, I am afraid, to see Greek Jack all in with Q-10 on

7-6-10-10-K

Chip leader Laith Sheena though has 7-7 to knock him out

At a rough guess this is a 400,000 pot from the pile of chips being shipped Laith's way

He now has well over 1m


--


As we break to 4 tables Simon Deadman turns to me and says "Got another flag Tighty, thats the main thing"

Nailed on to finish second in this, too

Thank you and yes, you could be brothers from another mother.

Martyn Frey knocks out Jamie Sykes 36th

Spencer calls with A-K

10 first card out

Could we get a chip count for Alex Spencer please?

We've reached the end of level 22 and they have stopped the clock about an hour into play with 16 left on this "bubble"

play is continuing at the old level until we lose a player



Want to know what distortions the Sky seats are causing?

Sheena "thats what I put you on"

(so call, please, and try and win the tournament lol)

About 1m, which is near enough double average


When the blinds go up to 10-20k average will be 550k

So I expect we'll hit a final quite quickly then

Alex Spencer raises UTG+1

Phillip Coughaln all in big blind 191,000

This has to be Aces or Kings

Coughlan A-A

Anyway

Chip leaders Sheena, Hindocha, Bott and Frey

Rest of the field in blinds strife when we come back

Just realised 15 sky UKPC seats were up fro grabs.  ;frustrated;  Good luck to all those left in.

Sheena extends his chip lead and now has over 2m of the 8.8m in play

Yes I know

I am just reporting what happens :-)

Thomas Chalmers shoves UTG for under 15x bb

Phillip Coughlan in the big blind finds Aces

Manages to find a call

Chalmers 8-8

Aces hold to knock Chalmers out 12th

cheers ty

Just curious

I think the rule is no deals if first prize is £50k+. Below that then deal away.

Nope, the last 500 wasnt allowed a deal and that was below 50k obi

12    2    Alexander Spencer 1m
12    3    Martyn Frey 500k
12    6    Doig Rudling 500k

Spencer won the 25-25 at Sheffield last week for £13k, student at York Uni, from Doncaster

Milner won a GPS last year

Frey won the £40k GTD here last week

Tann was 3rd in the £40k GTD here last week

Anon has six big finals here in the last six months


Form and confidence, counts for a lot

Rubs. Skim some more for 17th?

Mr Tann ftw

The chip leader with 2m has now asked to be anonymous for the rest of the competition

Today is getting quite surreal!

Good night from Nottingham

Grand Prix next weekend then the Sky Poker UKPC, so busy for updates in February

Hopefully with a less recalcitrant winner!

Great updates in not the easiest of circumstances, Tighty.

Thanks a lot, and I hope you at least got the lot in Super Bowl props!

Congrats to all the winners, and anons :)

I guess at some point, an anon had to win an updated comp at DTD.

Well done, John or Jane Doe.

Not hard to work out who it was if you read the blog.

well done tighty, great work as always.

another deep run from me, another miss, another big one slips by.

massive thanks to all involved at DTD who make it run. Everything is awesome at your club, thank you just thank you so much.

Kev Houghton (14th from Preston North End, Lancashire, sponsored by irn-bru, made in Scotland from Girders)

Must have missed his curfew if he wanted to become Anon.

Well played Doig . well played Anon lol .Tighty you make the updates far more than just cards and numbers. Other updaters such as pokerstars could learn a lot from you . All they ever do is offer staggered updates that focus purely on big pokertstars names with no analysis or humour. They are always slow , focus far too much on their own players and offer very little insight into players' thinking behind certain hands. Anyway enough of singing your praises thanks again and see you for the next one . What price on Anon winning next week?

Pretty sure I've read the 'Anons' name on a poker site earlier today (not DTD or Blonde).

Yes his name is on this update until he insisted on being anon from Sunday 7pm onwards

An awkward one

Isn't there a way that people have to agree to not be anon? I'm sure I've had to sign waivers before in some comps.

Also, is the person that was taken ill ok?

Not sure about the ill player. Left in an ambulance, but walked to it which was good news

Anyone can opt to be anonymous before a comp, and the DTD system will be pdated to that effect and I stick to that

Opting to be so when they were about to cash large was an interesting one

DTD don't operate a system of waiver forms/signatures before their comps

If I was @ DTD I would not allow Anon's.

If it was in the T&C's of the Casino they have a choice weather to play or not. I don't think a "Anon" does any good
to promote grass roots poker or make a winners story re-portable for outside media and marketing.   

They seem to feature quite alot in later stages of Tournaments. So they must be good players of the game
as a grouping of " Anons"

If they have taken a shot with the online Satellites which many overlay and are not willing to be part of the updates
or tell there story of a £5 Sat turning into a £35000 Bink. It's not bringing anything to the party for DTD.
or to encourage the grass root player into having a punt.

Try being Anon at the EPT or a wsop event. Don't think it would happen.

Tighty cracking updates as always. You have Patience of a saint.

Ban Anons i say you have nothing at all to lose.

Regards

M 

     

Pretty brutal how anons name is on pokernews now.

Page 1 of google on my phone and hendon mob.

Hope he didn't pull a sickie.

A players decision to be anonymous should be respected. When they are employed in the real world by a very big company they have valid reason to not want this information accessible by current and future employers.

He was a bit laith asking to be anon though Yian. How would employment issues change between being simply an entrant in a poker comp and being a FTist in a poker comp? Just random. But whatever, horses for courses, grats to the guy

Edit: Wait think I'm beginning to understand....

This

His name wont be "out there" if he just min cashes, but if he fts or wins it definitely will.

More like he owe's someone money
