also

Anthony Arlott

Gordon Goodall

Terence Etim

John Sadler

Ryan Hames

David Graves

all over double average

still a way off the cash, and with the average 30x bb+ a while still yet

It’s getting to that stage for a lot of players, playing 10-30x bb

Matt Eardley raised playing 350,000 in the cut off, over a limper, to 30,000

Jim Moult in the big blind is playing 170,000 and looks down at

He shoves, the limper folds and Eardley has a ticklish one with

he calls and the flop is a fun one for the watcher

Moult is still live, needing a diamond or ten

turn

river

and he misses and is out

Puts Eardley in a very healthy position

Alan Vinnicombe opens to 25,000 and finds one caller.

The 6, 9, 10 flop incites Alan to ask his opponent

‘How much have you got?’

With haste his opponent flicks out a 100,000 chip from the bottom of his tower of 5K’s.

‘Ah, that’s a 100K. 100,000 please.’ As Alan makes his C bet.

His opponent sigh folds to which Alan flashed two picture cards as he folds telling the player to his right ‘It was two Kings.’

these names may be familiar to you, amongst the field left in

Skalie is battling away with a sub average stack. He had A-Q v 2-2 on A-Q-2, an unavoidable spot which doubled up his opponent and when i asked him for a chip count a few minutes later he said “B-O-W-L spells bowl” Which was helpful of him

Rob Sherwood and Dominic Kay have been on the same table all day

Andrew Hulme is on the top tier

James Ablott is on his table

Rehman Kassam is wearing a Cinese Frankie t-shirt and looks to have a nice stack

Dewi James still in, Tom High i saw

Nick Todd and Raine Hilson i saw in the distance on tables i can’t get to

Martyn Frey still in, Tina Bandyle too

Cat Winch-Johnson still in.

they are coming to a break after level 24 so i will go round the empty tables then and get some accurate chip counts

Raine Hilson has roughly 900,000 chips & is heading for the million mark.

She calls 25,000 from an early position raise and the big blind completes behind her.

The on the flop brings no action. Checks all round.

She leads for 37,000 after the on the turn, just the initial raiser finding the call.

The rolls off on the river and after a quick check of her opponents stack she sets him in.

He folds and Raine adds to her towers.

Mick Fletcher from Blackpol has become a regular at the bigger DTD Tournaments and up on table 78, right at the top of the room he had 600,000 and in a great battle with a player i haven’t seen before playing 800,000

His name is Catalia Geangos, and he has position on Mick. Unfortunately i think its a table that is due to break soon

there are 240 left, 130 paid by the way.

Nadeeka Victor opens to 25,000 at 6-12k and William Bishop is all in on the button for 170,000

Victor calls for most of his stack with 10-10 and exclaims when he finds Bishop has Jacks

3-K-3 flop

A Ten on the turn sees shop stand up and then depart when the Ace on the river does not save him

We have had a change in the feature with Cat Winch-Johnson and Wadey Ashraf now on our feature table here at DTD –

Dave Quince is on a table with Jonty Willis, it makes for some good entertainment.

Dave opens UTG+2, everyone folds and he shows A Q.

‘Dave is running over the table,’ quips Jonty.

I stick around for the next hand to see an open UTG and a call from Jonty.

The flop of generates plenty of action.

A 30K c-bet was met by a 3-bet from Jonty to 75K. After some time in the tank we see a 4-bet up to 155K. Jonty shoves and his opponent goes into the tank. The clock is called and eventually we see a fold.

I’ve never seen anyone so excited to turn over Aces and follow it up with:

‘I need people to know I can flat with Aces.’

You heard it here first people.

Simon He opens to 37,000

Alan Armitage makes it 100,000. With Aces

Simon shoves for 500,000

playing 400,000 Aan understandably calls all in

Simon has Sixes

Spikes a Six on the flop to knock Alan out and go to nearly 1m chips with 200 left

Dave Quince doesn’t look too happy with the flop

Rehman Kassam next to Jeremy Brown

in the middle at the far end of the table, Rob finalled the Irish open and plays online for a living

look carefully and you will see the grey 250,000 chips in the stack of Troye Collins

actionjack is still in. Skalie has recovered from under 100,000 to a near average stack. Dewi James still in

—

chip leader might be Raine Hillson

She just knocked out a player, all the chips in on A-5-8-4

She had A-J, covering her opponent comfortably

Opponent A-4

River 5 to counterfeit the two pair

As is the way of things these days, he stood up, asked the dealer not to clear the cards away for a second, took a picture of the community cards, posted it as a facebook status update!

seating positions for those who have cashed here

payouts here

exits today here

we are in the money with 135 left at 20-40k, average 700,000

trying to spot the exit across 16 tables, i found myself at one end of the card-room while the exit took place two tiers away

i followed the action from “oohs” and “aaahs” until the TD announced

“well done everyone you are now in the money”

for £500.

and a big cheer went across the card-room. From all but one person.

Unsurprisingly the pace has quickened after the bubble. We’ve lost 30 players in the elvel after and there is a long queue at the payout desk

Rob Sherwood has been nursing a shortstack and just took his KJ v 77

10-9-7-2-Q to river the double up

meanwhile i saw an interesting hand

Simon He opened to 50,000

Neil Leicester called on the button

John Hird shoved 200,000 in the big blind

He called

Leicester now calls off around 40% of his stack with A-6 to take both on

He A-Jcc

Hird 10-10

Jack high flop to treble He up

74 left on 9 tables

average 1.3m

blinds go 40-80k

chip leader appears to be Raine Hillson

i was watching before the break

Warrey Aspey from Liverpool raised to 140,000 at 30-60k

shortstack Paul Mallett all in 170,000

in the big blind Aman Pau all in 1.27m

This prompts an agonised 10 minute contortion from Aspey, for most of his stack

prodding Pau for information, saying he had a massive hand, banging his heel into the floor in frustration

eventually he folded

Mallett 10-10 trebled through Pau A-K

Aspey says he folded the same hand as Pau

Guy Taylor has been going along nicely as we go under 70 players left

He opened to 160,000 at 40-80k and a shorter stack in the big blind shoved for 440,000

Quick think and a call and Taylor finds himself with A-Jss v K-Qo to knock a player out

An Ace on the flop seals the deal, Taylor now on over 1.5m
