i will keep an eye on the high roller too

meanwhile, the cameras are about to interview Carl Froch for SSNHQ

Guess who from Sky Poker has been asked to stand in as Froch's body double in set up/rehearsals...?

Floats like a rangemerger, stings like a counterfeited two pair?

seperated at birth in 1947

we have a very early chip leader in the main

Wael Kendi is the first player to exit. He lost half his stack on the first hand to chinese frankie and then found himself on the button to a raise in teh cut off from Mark Galerakis

He three bet this raise and Galerakis 4 bet him

Possibly steaming a bit, possibly disbelieving, he 5 bet shoved Jack-Nine

As you don in the firs tlevel of a £550 competition

and ran slap bang into Aces

which held to take Galerakis up to 80,000 and the chip lead

looks happy about it

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DJ3WgKJWPkE/VdXNSb7pfiI/AAAAAAAAXXA/TOHfO2ALA9w/s512-Ic42/DSCF9531.JPG)

anyone recognise this?

looks a bit smarter than normal...

in the high roller Aex Goulder doubles up Martyn Frey who has 99 v AKand holds

Stacey Coore doubles up through Kully Sidhu. Sidhu raises AK UTG and is called in the bvig blind

3-4-K, check/cbet/call

Coore shoves the 9 turn, call

Coore K-9 for turned two pair to double

--

on the Coore/Sidhu table is Carl Froch, sporting the biggest watch i have ever seen

he keeps looking at this watch, and contemplating calling any all in on the table, as if he has somewhere to go.

Neil channing is over 100,000 having begun the day on 15,000, first double up was through skalie A-10 v K-J

Poker is competing for his attentions with mobile oddschecker, and might be losing

payouts for the high roller

6th £4,500

5th £7,000

4th £9,500

3rd £12,000

2nd £18,000

WINNER £30,000

The board reads 3h  Aspades Ks 9h

Alex Gulder in the big blind check raises all in for over 50,000

Simon Higgins in the cut off has made it 12,000

Higgins ponders

"now then have you got Jack-ten of spades, pocket threes or pocket nines?"

the words drift across the table as Alex smiles

Higgins thinks some more, leans over to check how much Goulder has in the middle and calls

with Ad 8s

Goulder stands and flips 9s 7s

"nice hand" he says as the 3c falls on the river and Alex departs, Barcelona bound...  

With 20 left in the high roller I have been hovering near fidgety Froch

Carl isn't too experienced at tournament poker, which is fair enough and 40 minute levels even at six max are takign a toll

"boring isn't it?" he says to tikay

(who no doubt wants to tell him that he'd like the clock much slower so he can wait for aces longer)

tikay tells him the WSOP main has two hour levels

Froch's jaw drops, unlike in any bout at any stage of his erstwhile career

"really?" he exclaims, wide eyed

Someone find that man a turbo.

but Mr Froch is somewhat unconventional

in a lot of pots

limps into a lot of them

UTG+1 he limps for 3,000 from 60,000

folded round to Stacey Coore in the big blind who makes it 10,000

Froch looks at his cards again, looks at his stack, Froch's stack, looks at his cards, looks at his watch, back at his cards...

and makes it 23,000

Mr Coore has Ac Tc and ponders silently the situation, or the fruitlessness of a poker player's existence when at 3pm on a thursday afternoon he is trying to work out what a world champion boxer has froma cross the felt...

eventually he folds, somewhat perplexed

at the first break of the day in the main after three levels

40 of 43 are in

exits are

41    Tom Langley
42    Samuels Grassi
43    Lewis Wilson

in the high roller

26    Ming Jiang
27    Lloyd Coore
28    Jonathan Kalmar

Neil Channing is out of the high roller just after the break

in the small blind with Jacks, he is racing A-Q

Which flops and ace and a flush draw and holds

in the main at 250-500

Tim Chung limps the small blind

John Eames makes it 1700 in the big blind

Chung 5100

Eames 12600

Chung shoves covering

Eames 50,000 calls all in

i doubt enough people are watching to get any feedback, but name the range of hands for each....

Tim Chung 55+ KQo +

John Eames 10s/ AQ sooted

Probably well off who knows depends if they have been battling much

Tim Chung in a re-entry blind on blind. I am gonna go for J8o

miles away

10-8off

Eames A-9o

Eames doubled, both missed the lot

carl froch is out of the high roller and there are 13 left

he raised to 10,000 at 2500-5000 with 10-9cc

was set all in by the big blind asif raja with KQhh

froch called off his last 25,000 and King high won

respect to mr tighty yet again.

hopefully

there are 200 skypoker players in the 1pm flight, so this is a gentle re-introduction today

sky are running a £10k freeroll here for their priority customers tonight, there is a main event satellite too

there are a few 300,000+ stacks

matt cartwright, who iirc is from walsall way, is challenging Toghyan for the chip lead

Nck Hcks is right up there too

must be v exciting for a lot of these sky qualifiers.

i have never played a big live comp as is undoubtedly the case with lots of the sky boys.

would be great to see one or two of them go deep.

Is tomorrow 1pm sold out then given the fact no one has played tonight?

this is correct for some

obviously as times moves on the sky player base becomes more experienced and contains names that you'd know

but we met one guy and his wife who had come up today from Southampton.

Won a freeroll on the site to get into this. Hasn't played live before. never been to "casinos and clubs" and he called them

"way outside my level, this is like the world series for me" he told us

another chap turned up 48 hours early, then came back today with a t-shirt saying

"we're with tikay, go go go"

As in life as in poker, i could only conclude that it takes all sorts

no

we know it has 200 sky players so thats 35 tables

but room for plenty more

dealers are rota'ed so there shouldn't be any immediate risk of alternates

i would expect the 6pm flight to be busy too, the usual friday crowd, some people trying again after the 1pm flight too

simon hemsworth won his first poker trophy tonight...in a freeroll

Hi - enjoying the updates! I am a sky qualifier, does anyone know if my chips are in play at 1pm or i get a full stack when I get there???

Keith Johnson 3rd in HR them one of only four who made it through the evening flight? that's some going for one day

in at the start unless you tell me otherwise

Hi Tighty, thanks for reply. Can read it two ways, either you have the power to take me out of the draw, or that you think I am in from the start but could be corrected.

I think I am gonna be about 15 minutes late, so would love to not be in at the start if that means I am not gonna be an alternate if you have the power to take me out.

Will introduce myself too of course when I see you and get a progress report on your Japanese import...

ok i will get you out until you arrive

TY very much!

there are 216 players in at the start today

^^^ nice table? 1st 'a round with'?   (sb in seat one limps....bb min raises......seat one tank folds)

(http://www.pxleyes.com/images/contests/fruit/fullsize/fruit_4ad7cc95672a3.jpg)

Fig 1. A plum draw

So i popped up to table 58 in the expectation of a display of power poker from the combined abilities of two sky poker analysts. Their best analyst. and tikay

At 100-200 seat 6 Mr Hinton limped UTG

UTG+1 Mr Kendall leapt into action, making it 900

folded back to Mr Hnton he called

tikay turned to me, making a face like a braying donkey.

5-J-7 two spades

Mr Hnton check calls 1900

Mr Kendall double checks his cards

King of spades on the turn

check check

Queen of clubs on the river

Hnton checks

"I have got Aces" says tikay

and passes

--

next hand Spittles opens to 600

everyone folds

"first hand he has won since April" says someone who may be writing this post. Did not mean to, but it sort of slipped out

i have left "Big D" Dylan on a sofa directly behind the two analysts with instructions to report back if either make significant progress, or exit

sorry had wifi problems

we are up to 250 runners in this flight

coming up to the first break

will do a run round the floor and try and find some chip leaders

Hi Tighty

Do you think there will be any cash games running by 6pm, or is it going to be just tournament tables until space becomes available later in the evening?

i don't think there will be cash until 8pm

6pm tournament flight will take up the space

Great to see the updates back, good luck today!

265 in todays flight

75 entries yesterday

so 350 with the 6pm flight and the turbo to go

going to make it you reckon? (500 runners, £250,000 GTD)

been wandering round the tables

defending UKPC Champion Fraser Bellamy is a late entry and is on a table with Boz O'Connor and Richard Pearson

Richard Blacklock re-entered after last night and has 65,000 in the middle of level 5

tikay is reading blonde on his i-pad. Hello! Seems to be below starting stack

Despite the place being full, I have to say it's eerily quiet. If you took away the music, I'd say I've been at noise chess tournaments. Aside from the eternal cricket song you get at every poker comp, there's barely a murmur. Everyone concentrating.

I wish to retract the above statement. Rastafish is sitting next to Neil Channing.

Can we swap places?

spare a thought for the rest of the table


we have 48 in the evening flight so far. takes numbers to over 400

it is open to 10.40pm

Tal appears to have almost exactly his starting stack


in that flight we have bergeroo, tom kugelstadt, gemini kings, john hedge black and its noticeably more active than the earlier flight

Want to play tomorrow's UKPC Six Max Main Turbo on the cheap? 25 mins until the last chance satellite. 5 seats GTD.

tikay is out

"what happened?"

"i can't remember"

thanks for that

 Neil Channing ‏@SenseiChanning now6 seconds ago

This Day 1d is much easier. Turned nut flush vs king flush then flopped a set rivered quads vs an overpair. Easy game @SkyPoker UKPC.

Best dressed in the comp, Tighty?

apart from your sartorial elegance mr 33,725 and keep missing?

Disappointing lack of evening jackets on display. I am not even sure John Black has shaved.

Has Rastafish suffered a dislocated bottom lip as you were snapping him?


Goooooooo Tal  ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader;



Great to have a live update again.

play is about to end in 1c with 100 or less of 285 through

i've been having laptop problems, so i will probably bring the spare tomorrow and put the chip counts up then

there are 83+10 re entries in the later flight

meaning we are around 450 total, needing 50 in the turbo tomorrow

34,600 at the second break. Proper hard work, this.

Let's do this!

http://www.laterooms.com/en/hotel-reservations/271631_de-vere-venues-orchard-hotel-nottingham.aspx

Incredible price for tomorrow night at the best hotel in Nottingham!  £1300 a room for one night!  It's good but it's not that good.  £20 extra for breakfast.  You would think they would comp that at £1300 a night for a room at the weekend!

Momentarily got above starting stack and, shortly afterwards, the following hand transpired:

Lady opens to 2500 at 600/1200/200. I have 7s 7c on the button and flat out of 47k. Chap calls out of the big blind.

Flop  7h 9h 2h.

Check, she bets 4k, I make it 11k and now bb shoves 50k total.

He knows he has a flush, I know he has a flush, the barman knows he has a flush. There's 75k in the middle and I am getting 2:1 to pair up. I think in the tournament situation I have to call. I do call and his Jh 5h holds. I'm not good enough to fold there and a 100k pot was too tempting.
