blonde poker forum

This Double Chance Freezeout event is now underway, there are 124 runners giving a prize pool of 186,000.
Updates will be here throughout the evening.

Hi, can you find out if Burnley John and Simon Norwab are playing for me please and if so tell them the goat wishes them good luck.

Cheers  Paul

To to clarify, as someobody rang e to ask, It is a "double chance Freezeout". Basically everybody has 10k chips but start with 5k chips. You can take your second 5k either at the end of level 2 or, any anytime your chips are 2.5k or less.
Hope that clears things up.
Hi Billygoat, I will try and get the message through, may be a little difficult as Tikay is actually playing at the minute so not easy. We will do our best though.

The Camel had to take his 2nd 5k on the very first hand! He is sat next to our own El Blondie

....and WOW !! Koresh is OUT !
He somehow lost both 5k stacks in the first four hands. He is NOT a happy bunny!   :o

Anyone that have information about Bengt Sonnerts progress?
Please give update.  :)

Ali Mallu is the early chip leader with 15k already! His AA against AK of Alan McLean and Dave Eastwood. All chips in pre flop

After one hour, blinds are now 50 / 100 (were 25/50).
We are on a one hour clock. 4 players went in the first hour

The buy in has certainly not stopped people playing, on a flop of 932, 77 goes all and is called by 9J !!! I wouldnt do that on a $55 SNG !! I guess that is why they are there and I am not. (although i am not on my way home either  ;) )

Hi Sonnert is doing OK, no major loss or gain!
Apparently Tikay has made history, he is the YOUNGEST player on his table.
Personally I think that must be a fabrication!!

Just had a good hand, AA v AA. (2 red and 2 blck) flop 3 diamonds! I am no authority on our beautiful game but, i have only ever seen that once before. Less than the number of times i have had a royal flush! (3)

Official word on Sonnert for you now lassoo, he now has 2,500 chips, he has not taken his extra 5k though

Jim Reid is OUT.
A great bloke who is not having the best of luck at the minute.

Thanks jbsc7769 for your excellent update, it is highly apppreciated :D
/"The old man" in Sweden

Strange set of events just happened.....half way through the level the tornament director stops the event and an announcemnt is made that evreybody has to take their extra 5k. Now, we are not 100% sure but we think this has something to do with gaming regulations. Anyone have any ideas?? A few chip updates about to come.....

Thats just Danny trying to keep the low stacks happy !!! lol

Gryko 12,125 (!)
Howard Plant 6500
Alan McLean 1900
Devilfish 15k
Rumit 11k
Greg Hill (junior on our site) 22k (he knocked Koresh out)
The Camel 11k - First hand he got KK up against AJ suited and lost, hence the early rebuy)
El Blondie 13k.
Greek Jack is OUT

Good point Carlo, i heard he was always obliging!

yesterday Eric Barker got quad 6's on the second hand of the night. Today, he got quad 6's on the first hand of the night. How does Erick "quad 6's" Barker sound? OK, how about Eric "Q6" Barker sound.
Not quite Simon "Aces" Trumper but, worth a go. The campaign starts here!!

Other runners include Joe grech (spelling ?), action jack, daniel Larsson, Dave Penley, Howard Plant, Howard Plant, Gareth Jones, Lucy Rokach, John Shipley, Simon Trumper, Willie Tann, Micky Wernick, Bambos and the William Hill trio Bad Girl, Smikon Steve and our main Main, Julian Thew.
Speaking Mr Thew, he was busy early and now has 17k. I don't want to curse the guy but, my moneys on him!

10 players out and tikays table is the first to break.
Now another break for end of level....weird

Sonnert 10k, Daniel Larsson 10k Lawrence Gosney 22k and shaf 9k

Any news of badgirl and smokin??

When is the tournament closing tonight? And starting tomorrow?

LOL, having just said how rare i thought AA v AA was, Greg (Junior) Hill just got it  v "A very nice lady" !!!
Will find out times and come back to you.....bad timing for your question Chris V....literally as you asked, Bad Girl went OUT

To put a little more meat on the bone for Phams exit, She has AQ on and AAx flop, opponent hit the straight

Devilfish OUT, Lucy R OUT

Smokin Steve has 9k, Thewy 20k.
Julians table is HOT !!
John Shipley, Lawrence Gosney, Camel and the Undertaker!

Play is until 3am and restarts tomorrow at 3 pm. Sorry for the short delay Lassoo.
20 get paid.

no problem m8, how many are still in?

Simon, any news on my mate Jon Trivett wondered how his luck was going after his 5th place last night

spot on coverage wish tikay and julian good luck, wife was not permitting another venture out so see them in vienna from dave p.s do you no if wille is in good shape thanks

Answers to the 2 questions following soon. This is quite incredible. I said in one of the first posts that i have only been involved in AAvAA once since i started playing poker (against getting 3 Royal Flushes), now Tikay has just been involved in yet ANOTHER AA v AA (Shah). The good thing (for followers of Tikay), the baord brought FOUR HEARTS!!! (and puts him up to 13k)

Bad News, Thewy is OUT.
Tikay just got  KK got his chips in and was shown AA. first card, the miracle K.
Tikay up to 27,000

Tikay just had a quick look for Trivitt but could not see him. At this point we THINK he may be out but, not confirmed.
We are down to eight tables.
Sonnert OUT, Andy Gomm OUT and Camel OUT.
Gosney has 35k.

Cheers anyway simon will phone my brother later as he is there keep up the good work much appreciated..., great site will spread the word

Any chance of an update on the Blackpool boys, gareth , maloo etc would be much appreciated.  cheers

Tnx for ur reports, even if the latest news were not so good (but anyway I can go to sleep now, lol).
Take care

aarrggh I'm out, too ashamed to say how, made shch a bad bad play, can't forgive myself so I'll tell you how devil fish went out instead, he limps in for 200 flop comes Ad 8d 3* devil says "raise" and throws two 100 chips and one 5000 chip into the pot, "oops, he says, I didnt mean to bet the 5000" seeing this Erick baker moves all in for about 15000, devil calls and shows A8, Erick has flush draw and hits

Hi Si, Didnt go up tonight as we were waiting for day 2, can we confirm Triv is out?(John Trivett)??
Cheers


Jason

Now that is what I call poetic justice !

 :)

was it Tikay Vs Julian with the KK vs AA?

I agree, devilfish was one of the poker players i most admired and wanted to meet in the late night poker days, then having met him was completely let down to see that he is the most self absorbed arrogant piece of work i have ever met. Thoroughly unpleasant experience. So i am glad his obvious moody was punished.

Thanks for that mate. He has had a pretty good week nonetheless.

He has had a GREAT week Heeby!

He held A4, Bill Shrivington held KK.

Ian McDonald dodged a bullet as he folded TT

Still here and reading with interest. These updates are much appreciated.

Wow, lots of people, don't you have beds???  ;)
I have put in for 30 minutes overtime!

25 minutes left, updates coming all the way until the end of play.

Denis O'Mahoney is OUT.
KQ v Ali Mallu's AT, Ali hitting the two pair.
He is a one man demolition machine at the minute.
Q:" How many chips you got Ali?"
A: "No idea tony".....says it all really!

I'm always up at this time as it's the best time to bump into all those bad american players and get rich.

LOL Diceman, I have to say, I am playing PokerStars as well, just got a win in $25 SNG...anyway, onto the proper stuff.....
Larsson all in, gets called, Flop 863, he has 45, opponent 2 pair.
Larsson OUT

how does Ali do it time after time

because he is different class and one seriously lucky guy. Lethal combination

I'm playing on Pacific and just won my last 3 $30 SNG and heads up on my current table. Who needs to work for a living :)

How's El Blondie doing???

John Shipley 36k
Stuart Fox 65k
F Caan.... WE HAVE FOUND HIM !!! He is alive and well with 20k

Work? Whats that then Diceman???

Howard Plant is OUT
31 left, 3 table very soon.....

Simn Trumper could be the next man out, he is down to the felt and will probably have to make a move this round.....

I don't have Pacific Diceman otherwise i would have proposed a game! Only Pokerstars and Paryt here.
Although, maybe Pacific soon as they have 100% bonus in Cardplayer at the minute (i get the US version, not european)

no ladbrokes players?

As predicted, he made his move and took the blinds of Micky Wernick and Tim Flanders. He picked his spot beautifully.
5 hours ago he only had 900 chips, great comeback but can he make Day 2 ?!?

I had ladbrokes a while ago and took a week of bad beats so, sulked and went back to PokerStars!

I like stars but cant cash out to my visa debit card there,

how's mickey wernick doing mate?
hey diceman, what's your user name? i wanna keep dodging ya cuz i've won a few $30 sng's tonight!!

Sadly I don't have either pokerstars or party but do plan to try them out soom.

So jbsc are you yet either person who has retired to the sun and play poker to finance your playboy lifestyle as is my cunning plan for next year.

I finaly decided to go full time this year

Trumper All in again and picks up 8000 chips. Great work

Use Neteller, i was the same but opened it up about a week or two ago and its easy to swop your money between the sites. The money appears in your account instantly as well. Useful for being a bonus whore! If you do, make sure you set up a dollar account though, i did sterling account and didnt realise at first, had to repoen to save currency charges!

Well, not quite diceman, the housing market was good to me and a bit of savings so i thought, why not! Had a year off so far but will probably have to start work again this year, just during the summer months when tourists are here. Poker keeps things ticking over though!

tell me more about netteller, what is it, how does it work, how do I open one?

3 minutes left, 3 tables now.

Good luck with it RED-DOG !

It is basically an online bank, similar to Ebays owned paypal. Thing is paypal does not allow poker sites, neteller does. Note it is one "t" in netellers though sa there is another site who try and take advantage of it!
Very easy and safe. The site return the money into the account immedaitely, up to the amount you credited, anything above that takes about 2-3 days i think.
Makes play on many sites very easy

PLAY HAS COME TO AN END....CHIP COUNTS TO FOLLOW but....
El Blondie has a massive 119,300 chips...... I hope that wasn't a typo!

how do I put money into neteller, how do I get hard cash out, remember Im a old fart and not very computer literate

ifm - I use the name mercutio if I can't register the name thediceman. No need to avoid me for the last table were all trying to teach me how to play as I call a massive raise of 20 from being already in the blind with 37os. Flop came 754. Thing is the person giving the most advise raised on the turn with just two over cards and hit one of his 6 outs. Hardly the move of a poker pro betting into a losing hand. What name do you use???.

jsbc - Property has also been kind to me and once I have cleared the last small bit of the mortgage, sun here I come. Does anybody know the taxc implications in Thailand??? ;)

Has the first day finished yet???

chip counts take forever at walsall

You baiscally pay it into neteller in the same way that you would a pokre account, via visa, mastercard or whatever. Withdraw in the same manner. The thing is though, you are not paying currency exchange all the time if you are happy to leave some in there, just transfer winnings around!

First day has finished, 100 chip race at the minute, as soon as the count is in, i will put them here, should be VERY soon.

Tax implications in Thailand.....he he

poker illigal in Thailand, lol

Looks like I may have to head off to one of the Eastern European countries as it's a myth they all look like shot putters.
