Willie plays a big hand first hand against small blind Anthony Martin

He raises pre, is called on flop and turn and Martin makes what seems to be a very tough laydown on the third bet, of 5,000 on the river

Serial recent winner here Martyn Frey played Manchester yesterday, and made it through to Saturday

So he comes here to play tonight....

I suspect the problem might come if he makes Sunday in Manchester and Nottingham!

It must be the camera or the light, but - and I know this sounds ridiculous - the fella on the right looks like he has a tasteful top on.

This is a tricky one, but this player had a huge result last weekend, online

Name the player (clue Sunday Million).

There are no fewer than six callers as one by one everyone limps into the pot

I check what the buy in of the competition is.

Albert Sapiano in the big blind raises an eyebrow, arches a shoulder and throws in 9,500 haphazardly

One by one the limpers fold, Albert tells each of them as they discard their cards

"limpers tax boys"

53 online last night

So 300-82-53=165 needed tomorrow at 5pm to hit the £150,000 GTE

I have it saved in my Panini Sticker folder on my C Drive

(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/PANINI-FOOTBALL-LEAGUE-95-111-LUTON-TOWN-DAVID-GREENE-/00/s/NTczWDQ1NA==/z/1lUAAOxy6MBSM5eB/$T2eC16JHJHUFFfmPMoZUBSM5e!M(Hw~~60_35.JPG)

I have been on Albert watch, and Bandit/Greek Jack watch on the level above

Albert has been having fun

Buchanon limped again for 800 UTG. The small blind completed and Albert 3,000 more in the big blind

Buchanon this time shoves, for 23,000

Albert asks for a count, and flashes an Ace on folding. Buchanon shows him A-K off

Julian check raises to 10,000

"I don't believe you Julian" says Albert as he passes a Nine

On the top table, line up cumulative age 480 years (divide by 7) Greek Jack has ben trying to see every flop, and looking like he is missing all of them. Peter the Bandit is playing snug, not involved much. actionjack is complaining he is card dead. Martyn Frey is inactive by his standards

---

On this table I saw J-10 Stephen Kidsley knock out Emran Hussain 9-8 by calling a big all in on K-10-7-K-9. The unlucky Hussain flopped a straight and flush draw in the big blind, check called flop and turn and shoved the river having hit two pair but missed both draws. Seemed pretty unlucky to me to get called by a bigger two pair, but all power to Mr Kidsley

I wanted to post my thoughts about the following issue earlier but I just found the time now, pls note that my intentions are pure and with no malicious reasons, I believe and if am wrong correct me that more than one person that got through on the day one online were playing in the club last night, therefor were able if wanted to exchange info, not saying they did but taking into account to what happened with the sky open satellite few days ago, what is the opinion of the club about players that using their router to play online, is it not the same as two people play online in the same house!! Again my question was not made to picture any specific player or with any bad intent!! Thanks

Ha, pizzled bought that from eBay the other day.

Dave has some great stories if you get a chance to chat with him. Don't mention ade akinbiyi though, unless you want to see him cry.

This is one for Simon or one of the TDs when you see them please. Don't know if it happened and I don't know the policy if it does happen

I always thought you were allowed to play online at the club.

Albert Sapiano is in every pot. By far the most entertainment on the remaining six tables gone midnight on a day one

He limps UTG for 1000

Emrah Yildiz raises to 2300

Folded back to Albert, whose attention is drawn to the fact that there has been a raise

Albert looks across at Yildiz and chides him

"Is there any need for that?" 

He calls

Jc 2c Th

Albert has checked dark, Yildiz checks behind

3h

Albert 3,000

Yildiz raises to 6,000

Albert quickly calls

2s

Albert checks

Yildiz 6,000

Albert quickly calls

Yildiz shows  Aspades  Jh

Albert mucks, his cards thrown onto the community cards from over shoulder height with a mixture of dexterity and frustration

Ok thanks for the quick response!!!

I think you are.

I don't know how many of the 53 online last night were playing at the club, or if any co-tabled in a tournament or cash. One for Simon, please

Rastafish opens to 2800 at 500-1000

Andrew Psaras calls

Mark Hitchens calls on the button

James Clarke all in 40,000 in the big blind

1c is at 5pm Saturday

late reg until 8pm

165 runners needed for the £150,000 GTE...

Pop along!

The problem is not of people playing in the same house, it is of playing with somebody and exchanging information that the rest of the table dont have, and working together in an un-supervised environment.

Myself, Fred and PJ played the online leg on laptops at DTD during a cash game. I would go as far as saying that is the safest way anybody has ever played an online leg of the deepstack. Were sat with an actual dealer of the club and being watched by about 5 cameras.

Im presuming we would have known about it pretty quickly if this was frowned upon by the club, especially as the card room supervisor put a picture of it on the DTD Twitter account.

GL everybody who made day 2.

Thanks for the answer Mitch, is very convincing, as I said my question was pure and never had any intention to question ur integrity, ur an excellent player and character and am sure u don't need the help of others for ur results, just wanted to know what if????!!!  ;tk;

Today at DTD literally something for everyone

 5pm - £500 Deepstack - £150K GTD

5pm - Super 50 - £5K GTD

 8pm - XXL £25 - £5K GTD

Quick question(s) Tighty. Has it always been 1 re-entry for 2 levels after late reg finishes and did the online players have the same option?

its one level i think, actually

Don't think there is re-entry online (ipoker don't do it yet?)

For those of you wanting a lower buy in option...the Super 50 currently has 55 entries, it's a freezeout with 1 re-entry so we need 100 entries. Looking at a sizeable overlay. Late Reg 7.20pm

Up to 100 entries in the Deepstack

Two of the three re-entries so far are Ali Mallu and Paul Grummitt

Need 165 today to hit £165,000.

If you are close enough, numbers are quite a bit lower than I expected, so come along...

Pizza man Ronaldo in tonight?

I'll play for 30% if you or any other high-rollers wish to take advantage of the combination of a very soft field and a sizeable overlay by putting me in. ;)

First break

Hoping for a late rush of entries, otherwise it has to be said this is a very disappointing turn-out

blinds go 150-300 after the break, current average is 33,000 and  will get some hands after the break

Dtd could fill that place - need to be more generous with online satalites and generate high volume qualifiers = more people eating, drinking, playing house games!!  just an opinion.

yes i bubbled in three of them. lol.
my point being not guaranteeing 5 seats/10 seats.  have a once weekly 20 seat / 50 seat mega satalite.....like the good old days :)

more sat winners = less overlay at the club + more people spending money there!
bring back the 50 seat mega sats!!!!!  :blonde:

Ryan has just tweeted the following

DTD Cardroom Updates

£500 Deepstack overlay alert! Currently £30,000 of value. 240 entries so far in £500 Deepstack, reg for 6 levels until 9.20pm. Cheers Ryan

Disappointing turn out yes ...but there is so much on the poker calendar these days almost weekly !

Every tourney can't fill up it just can't !

I can't play this month as I am busy Sunday not everyone can play every week !

I still think also that £300 deepstack  appeals to a wider  range of players

Good luck blondes

Agree with this. I'm currently sat at home deciding whether to play or not and I must say the £550 buy in really puts me off. It's a big lump of cash to have to lay out for your average recreational player.

I know that Rob has made the decision to stick with the monthly thing rather than try to avoid other tours and I think that's a great idea. Maybe have a bit of a compromise though and have a £300 on a month such as this one where there's a GUKPT happening at the same time and the £500 when it's all clear.

10% pls Matt ;)

chip leaders in level 4 are

Peter Franklin 110,000

James Wlliams 90,000

Steve Brown 90,000

Gary Strang 80,000

Tom High 80,000


High had a nice hand against Richard Hills

A set of Sevens on  7h 9s Ts against Hills with  Ks 8s, in the blinds

High got lls's stack on the 3 turn and the  3s river

Distinct lack of offers to put me in judging by my lack of PM's.

You can lead a (stake)horse to water...

Leon Campbell raises to 800

Rana Gurnam and Pete Franklin call

on the button Tom Dingleberry 3 bets

All call

3s 6c 2s

checked to Tom who bets 4,000

Rana is the only caller

check check on the Qc turn

Rana a 3,000 tickle on the Qd river

Tom ponders

"I don't know if you have a lot or sod all"

and puts in the call with   Ac Kh

Rana mucks "ten high, I was flushing" he tells him

Sean Belton is out

There is a raise, and two calls the last of which is Mad Turk

Sean is a frustrated short-stack with an eye on the cash tables

He shoves

AQ passes from the original raiser

the first caller passes

Good luck getting Mr Turk to pass

He calls with K-10 and holds againast J-6 to send Sean to the top tier

Turk calls

Banks 4750

Seer check calls

2s river

Seer leads for 11,000

Banks a very quick fold

The stage is set for a Turk virtuoso-act

He chunters

He postulates

He considers

Seer tells him "you can fold"

I almost expect the rest of the table to shout "Oh no he can't" but to their credit they resist

Turk tells the dealer he will call the clock on himself

"OK" says the dealer, who has seen and heard it all before "I can't do it but you can"

Turk cogitates some more

"I don't think you are capable of bluffing. You don't have it in you" he tells Seers

Pause

"but you gave me a little speech"

"you can fold" repeats Seer

"When is your birthday?" asks Turk

"April" I reply, before realising he is asking Seer

"September" says Seer

"I am going to give you a birthday present" says Turk and passes 11,000 to Seer who flips

 Jc 4c

Turk mucks

"I knew he wasn't bluffing" he says.

"What did you have?" he asks Banks

"Eight high" repleis Banks

"I knew that" says Turk

"What did you have?"  i ask Turk. If you don't ask, you can't complete the tale....

"Ace-King" says Turk, whilst the other side of the table Banks sniggers, sotto voce

Luke Flack opens to 1200

Jonathan McCann all in 14,000

Lydia Cugudda all in on the button

In the big blind Masud Prodhan calls all in

Flack passes

McCann A-Jo

Cugudda A-Qcc

Prodhan 10-10

4-6-3-4-K to treble Prodhan up

Cugudda takes the bigger side pot knocking out McCann

Meanwhile, as  I spy three players knocked out at Manchester today enter to buy in, including Carlo Ctrone (Deadman-ed in his rush of cards earlier on today) we are up to 115 entries in the last level for entries/re-entries, still 50 short

sorry about that, appears we lost the forum for a few minutes. I assume everyone did?

Reassuring to know it wasn't just me.

I am so sorry everyone. Database tables crashed at around 10.30pm, and took the server host a couple of hours to repair. We are just back now

I will do an end of day round up in a moment

If we should go down again, or tomorrow, I will keep you in touch via @blondepoker on twitter and the blondepoker group facebook page
