blonde poker forum

All being well, we expect to be able to bring you Live Updates from Walsall this afternoon., as the 500 NLH, which promises to be a real cracker, draws to a climax.

Watch this space......

Good luck Willie

PS Bengt Sonnert is brilliant. Tipped him for great things at start of year on gutshot. Has since won Betfair Monte Carlo qualifier, Poker Million heat plus rinsing it online.

Keep it coming TK

Due to traffic Problems on the M6, there will be a short delay to the start of todays event. It is estimated to begin at approx 3.20pm.
Updates will appear as soon as play begins.

Early drama, Willie Tann finds AA and, in El Blondies opinion, plays it brilliantly to take down a 25,000 pot.
He is now chip leader.

Willie Tann and John Shipley share the blinds, Willie makes a move on John but The Ship is not taking it and moves all in. Willie lets it go....proper poker!!

Plenty of early action, Shipley's AK beats Chicken Joe's 99. Chicken Joe is OUT

No let up, Chris Christou is OUT.
The Water is hot!!!

Willie and Shipley at it again in blinds!
John makes it 5k, Willie all in for 100k+, John passes. This could get messy!

dont worry jbs you have plenty of followers. Great work.

How many are left in?

Don't worry theres plenty reading your commentary, just some of us like me hadn't until now signed up but still very much appreciate the work being done. As it makes a massive difference to have upto date info on these comps that is as upto date as being there in the casino.

keep up the good work

Paul

   Come on the Worm!!!

          Jon

Danny the card room manager is such a pro at every festival he always does whatever he can to keep people happy!
I was thinking...tell Blondie to explain to Danny that he want's a second chance to play his final hand again. Danny is such a gent, I think he will see what he could do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol Carlo !!
Thanks guys / gals, its nice to know you are there, can be a bit disconcerting when there are not comments, makes me wonder if I am on my own!! (even though i can see traffic is good!)
OK....news to follow about a deal being negotiated.....

There are 13 left.
A deal has been done so that 11th, 12th and 13th all receieve 500 each.
C gerard was out in 14th

Any idea on chip stack for Willie Tan ?

Paul Curtis is now looking good with 90k but Sonnert is dancing, around 200k chips!
Blinds have gone up to 2k / 4k

Don Jones OUT.
Trivett busted him in big pot with TT v AK on a JJXXX board

Willie has 75k chips Carlo.  :)

I was just about to post on THMF about Bengt being much better than the guys mentioned in the Pokertics thread. This guy sometimes plays on my accounts online. He is different gravy is pkrbt.

Classy line up.

Sat next to Yong in St Maarten, aggressive player. Still fancy Willie for a strong run. Thewy good comeback son.

WHAT A SITE !!! Wish they had had this in prison!!!!! lol
Willie can win it from 75k ! I have had the pleasure of travelling (and learning from him) many times and there are few better players around believe me. COME ON WILLIE SHOW THEM THE WAY HOME SON !!!!

wow, best live updates on the web, great job guys, I rang the cardroom and got less info

I was just reading your comment about Thewy and i was thinking he is one player i would NOT want at my table, he really is a genuine talent. Then the news came through....
THEW is OUT in 11th.
Another great showing from him though, well done Julian.
Yes, Rob Yong doing well. Funnily enough i saw him at Bellagion when he was on his way nack from St Maarten, he had a good showing there also until he made a huge bluff at a pot just outside the money, shame, nice guy.

THATS BECAUSE DANNY IS TRYING TO GET BLONDIE BACK IN THE COMP!! LOL

Thanks for the comments, it really is appreciated. Its great you are telling "us", perhaps you could do one more thing for me.....tell your friends as well!! ;)

do I have to press refresh button or will it update as I watch?

Can't tell my mates.......they are still inside. lol

Hi RED-DOG, I am afraid you will have to press refresh but, speak to Tikay, Rhowena or El Blondie and maybe they could get an adjustment to the site, it is possible but not sure how far down the pipeline it is.
They have visiting hours don't they Carlo?? LOL

Yeh..........BOLLOCKS!!!! HA HA

FINAL
E Katzi busted by Paul Curtis.
Katzi QJ
Paul Q8
Flop AQ2 but the 8 rivered!!

Simon - are you at the tourney or you getting these via text from Tikay

Unfortuantely...no, not unfortunately, I am in Greece at the minute but, playing poker online anyway so, Tikay is texting me and I am playing Mr Pigeon. We have an agreement, i help, then he takes my sistre of my hands in return, LOL

Dinner Break

Action very quickly after Dinner, Paul Curtis is OUT.
K9 v Sonnerts AK in a massive 200,000 pot.
It goes without saying how big Sonnerts stack now is.....

The bandit and Sonnert are both 300,000 plus.....

How is John Trivett (Triv) doing???
Tell him Jason and the Windrush valley Card Club are staying tuned!

Cheers


Jason

Hi
John is the other "strong" player out there, the other 5 are now starting to get quite low.

Go on Johnny!!!

Send him our best luck wishes if you can thanks, were watching!


Jas

 Hi Carlo, if you're reading, I passed on your kind words to The Great Willie Tan at the dinner break and he was very pleased to hear from you and sends good wishes.
 Good luck.

Big crowd now watching, mainly scandanavian watching their man!

Wishes have been passed onto to Tikay who will try and get the message through to John, keep watching Jason, we will keep you updated

Rob Yong is OUT in 8th.
He had KQ suited v Willies TT.
110k pot, Rob had to make a move as he had been hand dead for some time and was being ante'd away.
Still, a nice result for Rob and a useful 2,900 payday.
Well done Rob

Jason, we managed to get the message through just as he took a big pot, apparently he was more made up with the message than the pot!

Cheers, im passing on chip counts by phone!

Jason

Smyth and Saunders both down to the felt, have to move soon

Come on Triv we're behind you all the way buddy
Olly

Willie is really on the move, or at it !!
He is with the leaders again now

Jas,,, is anyone up there with Jon at the moment ?? ... seems like an ideal time for a trip to the midlands methinks ;)

No, hes on his own...
But Andy & myself are going up to watch him in the 1500 fo tomorrow :)

After hes won this one ;)

interesting "hand", Saunders stands up on his BB and the dealer takes his card! His stack is very low.......

Smyth is OUT in 7th.
He had JT, on a 567T8, against Peter "The Bandits" AA.
Ooops!
Smyth takes home 3,500

Saunders has woken up!
He stole 3 hands on the trot, now about 60k

Plenty of verbals, good natured when Sonnert trys to get cut in Bandits BB, Bandits having none of it!

Saunders is OUT in 6th.
K9 v Sonnerts 78
Saunders has a 3,900 payday

Any chance of a rough chip count?


Cheers

Thanks for passing on my support for Willie ! Now we will see him really move! only thing now is that his hands will need to stand up when his chips go in. there will be no doubt that when they are on offer he WILL have the best of it. COME ON SON NEARLY THERE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

A HUGE thanks to Danny the card room manager at Wlasall, he is SOOO helpful. Serioulsy, if you have not played there before, go and visit this guy!
OK, chip counts....:
Bandit 240k
Willie 210k
Sonnert 490k (four hundred and ninety thousand)(reminds me of the old vidiprinter result for big scores!!!)
Reardon 90k
Trivitt 190k

Trivitt mistakenly passes hand in BB so all 4 others limp in, Willie tried to nick but Sonnert stings him for 70k

sooo impressed with this blow by blow stuff, if you get a chance tell bandit I'll buy him a drink when I see him, I guarantee you some abuse

Thanks Red-Dog, we will try and get the message through. Getting tight now.....

Any idea on the numbers for the Omaha comp?

Hi Carlo
there is actually a seperate page for that one but to save you looking, i think there was 81 runners. It wont be updated often though, just the odd comment

ATTENTION JASON!!!

I just spoke to Trivitt on the Phone, he said sorry he missed you earlier, he will catch up with you soon and he is hanging in there

HUGE CONFRONTATION !!!
Sonnert v Willie, Willie moved all in and took it down.
Sonnert says to Willie "YOU TOO CRAZY! "

Nice going guys I am well impressed with this.
I take it you will be doing the same for the 1500 one as well, keep it going as this is where it gets more interesting as the blinds creep up.

CHIP COUNT AT BREAK in seat order.
Bandit 270k
Willie 180k
Reardon 65k
Trevitt 170k
Sonnert 600k

playing again, blinds 6k / 12k, Sonnert stealing ay will

Hi Harby, I believe that the plan is to have similar reports yes, a lot depends on how Tikay performs as to the frequency of the updates though. I am pretty sure there will be something good though!

Great comeback by Reardon, he now has 210k
Willie Tann 170k
Bandit 280k
Trevitt 200k
Sonnert 400k

Trevitt now the lowest, 140k
Sonnert, bandit and Taqnn all dancing!
So much trash talk but all good natured. I LURVE this game!

Come on "Triv"!

has tikay got a microwave bed ? 8 hours sleep in 20 mins

Willie, SB, checks to Reardonin BB on Q45 flop, reardon amkes to raise, willie says "dont do it" but, he bets 20, reardon calls, Willie Turns over 2 pair, 4's and 5's to gasps from the rail Reardon shows.... same hand!

Trivitt or Trevitt(!) is OUT in 5th. A great effort and he gets 4,800 for his efforts.
He moved in with AT, The Bandit calls with AK. A superb effor by the man!

Very unlucky Triv...
Thanks for the updates.

Jason

That must make Bandit chip leader?

Tempers are getting quite frayed. Bandit and Sonnert want the most, Willie not happy (Willie is low man)

Proposal is Sonnert 24k, bandit 21k, Willie and Reardon 15k.

A reminder of actual payout charts.....
1st- 38K
2nd - 20K
3rd - 10.3K
4th - 7.4K
