They have begun as expected, with discreet signs up warning that "There Will be Filming" and lo and behold, while the final 27 kick off, tikay wearing a TV-producer hat has appeared and is chatting to other Televisual types.

Good luck El Blondie et. al....!

That was the list from yesterday - let me make one amendment (which makes quite a bit of difference, actually)

BAMBOS - 183,400 - this was not a Sunday/Me typo - the Official List made the same mistake.  Sorry Bambos - you're back with the chip leaders!

Good lucky Marky147 and Mr Cool, a Marc Mark one and two be nice

Early Double Up For DC News Now -

There was a certain Ac Kc which doubled through 8c Tc to around 80k, and El Blondie is consolidating his lead, claiming to be around six figures at this early stage.  :)

Chip Leader Mr. Cool just sauntered in - I think several people might have failed to notice those pesky clocks skipping that hour last night...

Blinds 2,000 - 4,000 so I doubt his eyesight is keen enough to have noticed any damage to his stack...

Good luck to DC and well done making the money.

Anyone want to do their top 3 finish?

1.Marc Goodwin
2.Kevin O'Connell
3.Jim Kerrigan  

and 1st out sadly i think will be Woody Deck . Think he will push early to double up and unless he hits will be out.

Woody Deck is OUT -

He didn't look surprised, but all the damage was done yesterday.  He said, "I lost another coinflip.  QK against AK...."

Prescient, Geist!

OK My top three: 

Marc Goodwin
Dave Colclough
Jan Heitmann 

in no particular order.

lol @ Micky.....Come on Marky Bring it home!!!! ;goodluck;

Hi Jeff

I'd rather have a Mark Marc one and two m8!

 :hello:

Good luck to DC and The Camel.

hi nellie

Flushing board Jen?

Hi matey, you look a bit green in the avatar....who,s the bloke with the beard.....?

Great Updates as Usual Jen   :)up  I finally finished reading them last night just as the PC clock went from 2.00 to 3.01 - arghhh!!

GOOOOOOOO PIPPA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't really know her, but she's holding her own and she's a girlie (hope I don't BOK her)

Jo xx

 :hello:

I think he has a wonky coin.  :D

Okay here's my final three:

John Kabbaj
The Camel
R.Colin Kennedy

The devilfish in disguise m8

Wd done to El Blondie!!

Keep us update dwith regular chip counts please!!

tikay was halfway through writing this up when I snatched my computer back.  Oh, I'm such a glory stealer...

Camel doubles up with Qh Qd - on an 8 5 4 board he got a caller with 7c Tc but no straight materialised and Keith is up to 60,000...

She's a quietly confident player and I reckon she could make the final... her table isn't an easy ride though - Pascal Perrault, John Kabbaj, chipped up Simon Randall...

Yes the hour's loss has kind of messed up a couple of tardy players, and poor old Sunday.  Expect him in 25 minutes...

Is Marc Goodwin there yet?

I saw him in Hammersmith only a couple of hours ago.

Yes, late but as nonchalant as you like... they don't call him Mr. Cool for nothing!

Come on Elblondie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just woke up, must have been the 300 knocks on the hotel room door by the house keepers that finally woke me :)  will be there soon...    tell them not to do anything exciting til i get there.

Best of luck El B, & other blondes. Have a good day Jen & Sunday.

Whats 'tardy' mean? ???

C Flint is OUT -

I am trying to catch his story but there is quite a crowd now around the Rope... I think he ran into Kings.  Yes, yes he did, R. Mulla had the Kings, and he was moving with  Ac 3c. 

Lateish, like Pascal Perrault, whose stack is suffering somewhat due, most likely, to that pesky Daylight Savings Reversal or whatever happened last night.

can any1 tell me how many chips P evdokio has? and good luck dad

Pippa Flanders is OUT (sorry Jo)

She just got off to a dodgy start today, most recently making a brave all-in preflop re-raise against Stavnhoj, who went for it with  Ahrt Qc, while her Td Jd found no improvement.  Wow it's all happening now!

He has a comfy 110,000 - and I'll pass on your message!  Photos coming as soon as there is a lull in the knocking-out!

Just to let you busy bees  know... B4Matt has just dubled up ..over in Estonia/ (*The Baltic)

Afternoon all. Anticipating a late end to this one, so gonna wait until there are 18 left before heading over. How many left now?

well done matt bring it home son

If you're heading over later, I suggest you order your chips now...

Think there is is 24 left. Woody, C Flint and Pipa Flanders out

18

Any chance of the prize structure please?

RTFT

Hi all

Anyone got a phone number for JP Kelly , I need to get hold of him

Rumit Is Felted (I think that's the first time I've manage to use that word) by Jan Heitmann -

Jan raised in early position to 12k, Rumit moved in for a further 64,000 from the cut-off.  A longer dwell ensued than you might have expected before he called with his Qd Qs.
Rumit had Ts Th, and said, "I'm in big trouble now..."  And so he was, as the board of  Aspades 2c 8s Kc  Ahrt helped no one.  Down to 4k.... but you never know (remember Trevor Reardon).

my tips for the top,

1.Jan Heitmann
2.Marc Goodwin
3.Dave Colcough

expect a few more casualities now, the blinds have just been hiked up to 3000/6000 with a running 300 ante..

How is Jim Kerrigan doing?

BOK BOK BOK Opps!!

Jo xx

My pick for the top three:

Marc Goodwin
Brambos
Jan Heitmann

My preferred order is obvious...  :D

Coooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeee onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Marky

Think rainbows m8

Oi! Isn't that my job?  ;tk;

LOL who's left, lets pick one each and see who is better at it?

Jo xx

Is that a new variation on the chicken noise?

I know it is the wrong thread, but more of you on here...
Matt has chipped up to 150K... avg. 90K ..10 remain..

I'm soooooo excited...

Nah.. that's what Reece ( my grandson ) says when he wants his bottle.. :D

Which comp is that M?

It's the original Chicken Noise, all the others are cheap imitations !!

Jo xx

Here's John Kabbaj doubling up with  Ac Jd about 15 minutes ago, watched (enviously?) by J. Stavnshoj.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Will Hill... Baltic.. Estonia, think it is spelt ok .. ish.. 8)

bitty mummy

Jim Kerrigan is on around 70k.  Condition: stable.

Tallin open

ok only a little bitty

Good news for the Marky147 Mark Herron fans.....GREAT news in fact

Firstly he doubled up with  6c Ac vs Pascal Perrault with  3s 3d...that pot was 100k.

Then the very next hand he does a double take out on the 'on tilt' Pascal Perrault and the sugar lump man Angelo Baisnainov.

somehow the chips got in pre flop

Mark -  3d 3h
Pascal -  Ks Jh
Angelo -  Ac Jc

the flop came a semi-scary  Ts 3s 4s leaving the only threat being pascal with his K high flush draw.

The turn and river both drew blanks and Mark is now in fantastic shape, constantly exclaiming, "i need to win this, cos my old man will send me to the Bellagio for a month!"

ty

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wish him the best of luck from me if you can Maureen

Ben,

How many chips does Nik Depala have matey?

Your wish is my command Sunday..

Get in Marky lad, who many has he got now??

Thanks Jen.

My tips for the top 3 are

1) Marc Goodwin
2) Camel
3) Kerrigan (He may be short stacked, but recently he's been getting a lot of practice at grinding it out with short stacks in the latter stages of big comps. I think he will final and may well do enough to make it to the business end of the day).

Is there any more player condensation news?  :D

102,000

My top 3:

Marky
147
Herron

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Sonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

TY ;)

Who's gonna take 4th?  :D

Mark Herron can do no wrong at the moment!

he just knocked shortstack Simon Randall out, it was folded round to Simon in the sb who moved in for 17,000 with Kd 3c. Mark weighed up the odds and made the correct call with Qh 9h.

flop 8c 2c 2d

turn 7h

river Qd - BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

3 players elimated at the hands of Marky147 in the space of 5 hands. AMAZING!

How many chips does El Blondie have?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ON MARKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK THE MUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ;tk; ;tk; ;tk; PK 33, man hes now a loose cannon with that call against 2 all ins. No need 2 button bash online now. He got some explaining with that call. GL M8

How many runners left in now?

4th will be my son hehe

i think he got his chips in with the 33 first mate

what about  my wish the nun

How many left in?

Chip stacks please.

Thanks for the updates.

Ben can you let us know who is going to win the 450 at Worcester please, and by what distance .

n1 Marky on a roll m8.......keep it up.......

I'd be very grateful if you could send my best wishes to Jeff Rogers....Jeff is Mahen on Blonde and a regular player at Luton...

Good luck Jeff!

hello you nutter.


stay out of my cash games....!

Hello there Mad Turk!  Welcome to the world of posting on blonde!

Hi Turk!  :)up

Here's a rather intense looking Mr. Mulla and Marc Goodwin in profile.

Marc just took an interesting pot off Dave - they were small blind/big blind and Marc raised 10k. called by Dave.  The flop:  A 9 6.  Check-check.
Turn: 4.  Marc checks, Dave bets 10k, Marc calls.
River: 7.  Marc bets out a big 35k.  After a very long think, Dave calls with J9, which he found to have been rivered by Marc's 6 7!  Down to 30k...

[attachment deleted by admin]

hi every1  well i won enough cash last night so i ll give others a chance

Lets hope he was :) Then me thinking he was a tite player  :blonde: :blonde:

who does it look like paul

the lantern would definetly be rubbed

Merhaba Mad Turk

Dave (pictured here in pensive/inquisitive mode) just insta-doubled with Th Td against a reluctant caller Ian Woodley, who said, "I need to hit a set" as he flipped 4h 4c... No hit, and Dave gets back what he lost.

[attachment deleted by admin]

  who is t hat?

pardini hacked up but you said 4 lengths and it was 5 sort it out for proper info next time please

pmsl @ aj

You said hi, I said hi.

Welcome to the forum ;)

not sure what his name is but marc goodwin said he saw him lurking outside a brothel.

can you explain what a lantern is please

cheers

Was nearer 6. So basically i was miles off.

i dont know anything about brothels or lanterns

Kelly pleased with the car Paul?

Good luck Mark, hope you have a great day.

very pleased cheers micky

Dave just took a hit...

folded to him on the small blind he raises to 18,000. Jim Kerrigan in the bb says i don't think so and instantly comes over the top which would put Dave all in, he passed, with a very agonising look on his face..

Here's the Camel after his early double up.  He was about to pose proudly with his orange juice (yes, orange juice) but I preferred this one of him off guard.

[attachment deleted by admin]

any 1 knows if the picture really belongs to justjo?

it does yes.


about 20 years out of date though  ;hide;


j o k e

u purvy turk   careful u dont damage yr keyboard

********************** 10 minute break*********************

I leave you with this trio of (left to right) Bambos, Nik Depala, and Ian Woodley, mid hand.  Think of it as a kind of 10 minute screen saver.

[attachment deleted by admin]

a lantern is something you light and the flame grows

what tool do you use to light it ?

Ok all messages sent to Matt.. he said to say all very much appreciated ...He needs railbirds now as Splash just bubbled and he is now sat with 115k, chip leader holds 220K and 930k total chips in play...

Matt is now up against 7 swede's and 1 norwegien, (spelling is crap sry).

Structure

8th   3k

6th   9K
5th   10K
4th   12K
3rd   16K

thats her turk and she will sort out your personal allowances after 2 glasses of wine .

Hi Nun,

Please add my best wishes with the next batch!

  ;cheerleader; GO MATT!!  ;cheerleader;

fhe photo paul was taken before i had a droped chest

Will o Donk... They are on a break now, Matt called to say ..all the the rest have gone to lunch TOGETHER.....arrgggg

Still in the danger zone I'm afraid with around 50k.  Ben getting more fresh counts before the players return and do awkward things like hide their chips with their hands.

i d love that m8

Close-up for you.





[attachment deleted by admin]

ty

How many players left?

SEE no dropped chest

Ben has collected totally up to the minute counts for you all!  And here they are...

Jan Heitmann is chip leader with a massive 320,000
Camel             142,500
Jeffrey Rogers   142,500
P. Evdokiou        38,500
Keir Fitzgibbon    86,000
Tim Flanders     243,000
Ian Woodley      150,000
Marc Goodwin    221,000
El Blondie          49,500
Jim Kerrigan       88,000

stop there for a minute - Reyaaz Mulla is OUT in 19th place after running into Ian Woodley's Kings.  TABLE BREAK, and we no longer know whose stack is whose... the counts above are correct, however.

Tut Tighty, and you said I looked just like that this weekend, although I think we were on drink number 57!!


Jo xx

Please pass on my best wishes to Matt, Maureen.

He should be able to sort out seven swedes and a turnip  :D 

come on woodley my southern softy

jen how many has ian woodley got

just spoke to mat theres 3 on the table with about 2/3 of the chips

says hes well in 129k out of 900k

**********Jim Kerrigan is OUT**********

Kevin o' Connell raises on the button to 3 x bb, quite steal like....and Jim Kerrigan moves in with As 7s in the sb.

Kev counts his chips out and calls reasonably quickly and flips over the monster that is Ah Jh

The board came with an ace,  but no 7 and Jim Kerrigan is out in 18th place winning £2,500.

Double Up For Dave:

The Camel raised to 18,000 in mid position, and when Dave put his whole 35k in, there was an autocall moment - but Dave's Ac Qc was in better shape than he might have thought against Keith's Qh 7h!  No sevens or flush, and DC's back on 70+k.  He certainly is living on the edge...

109,500

 any chance of a full chip count plz

How many has R.Colin Kennedy got please ?

its all gone quite ,everyone gone to sleep

Could I have photos of all remaining players, quotes from the top 5 chip leaders, full details of Dave's last ten hands, and a signed photo of tikay sent to my mom for mother's day.

... pronto!

He's the short stack now, just under 50k.  But then again, he's never exactly been chip monster and he's still here...

thats so funny snoopy   very

yeh ill have one of them photos to put near the fire

it will stop them kids going near it  rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

ok guys, with John Kabbaj and Jan Heitmann the only two guys on both the tables raising theres not much we can report on. Only El Blondie has had the courage to come over the top of Jan in the last half hour...

caption competition time...

and remember if you can include Pascal in the background that would be even funnier! :)

Sorry, I'm being unrealistic here. It was my Nan who requested the signed photo.  ;tk;

i think there dancing to the SHADOWS ,,hehe get it?

Hi mad Turk welcome to blond

Chris wants to know what happened he doulbled you up twice?

Keir Fitzgibbon is OUT in 17th place (wins £2,500)

It was the Camel who sealed his fate with  Ahrt Ks vs.  Ad Qh on an all-rag board.  He only narrowly covered his opponent, but covered he was and made his exit.  Sorry to his friends who just signed up as 'Keir Fitzgibbon'!  Better luck to him next time...

Snoops request 4)  Signed photo of tikay for his nan.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Dave is coping with Jan very well...

Jan made a suspect limp in middle position for 12,000, folded to Dave in the bb who put just over half is stack in and raised to 50,000. Im not sure what either of them had but Dave let out a brief "phew" when Jan passed!

Good shout Billy!!

Here's serious Tim Flanders and a grinning Jan Heitmann.  Well he should be grinning after the hand that Ben's just typing in...

[attachment deleted by admin]

a bit hairy it was lol

short stack on 2nd day made a move like u lol    aj and bb had ak

Madturk making a move? Never would have guessed that one mate :)

Hi Mr. Mad, and welcome to Blonde.

You will not feel lonely here, there are many pervs  ;welcome;

never seen it happen lol

im one

I bring you, possibly the most fascinating hand of the tourament so far. I would like to hear people's opinions on this for sure...

its folded round to Jan in the sb who makes it up and Nik Depala in the bb checks. blinds are 6000/12000, Jan is playing well over 300,000. While Nick is playing 140,000.

flop  5s 6s 2d. Jan fires out 22,000 and Nik calls.

turn a scary Ks Jan now fires out 40,000 and after a brief dwell up Nik calls again.

river a kinda scary 9c. Jan now bets out 100,000 which would put Nik all in.

Nik dwells for ages and ages and ages before passing Kh 6h face up. Jan? ah just the usual Tc 4c. Nik looks like hes been punched in the stomach and rightly so. incredible sstuff from Jan Heitmann.

your opinions would be very much welcome guys! I'm still a bit baffled to say the least

:hello:

Sounds like a bad pass in a blind v blind scenario against a hyper aggressive opponent. Surely you just call the turn and call all in if any non scare card comes on the river.

How can he fold?

after playing him this week i would have called him straight away

i said earlier the mans a looney

on par with the MAD TURK

Unbelievable  :o

Dave Colclough is rubbing salt into the wounds of poor Nik Depala. He just pullled off a classic stop and go move calling Nik Depalas cut off raise and moving in blind on the flop, well im convinced he didn't look at the flop of T93. Nik passed quickly and i don't think its gona be long before its get too much for the short stacked young fella

There are a fewof us who think he had to push!!  After flat calling with top pair.  Ok there is a flush out there but really does he think Jan has it??

For me its a push and a few other sitting in theCin Cin say thesame.  

That said its why we're sittting here and not playing!!  :D

i went into casino other day and saw this chap he had £100 straight up on number 26 black. It came straight in. he is the best roulette player i ever saw .

Terrible pass...

I'll be having words ;tracet;

The two shortest stacks take the plunge - P. Evdokiou taking his Ks Qh against Nik Depala's Td Jd.  Or it may have been the other way around, sorry.  In any case, he was left with a bowl of rice, which went in (and out) immediately.  So 15th place for young Nik Depala, and £2,500.

Sounds to me like he played it perfect, just a shame he forgot to call ???

I think its a standard trap call him down once the turn is the King. No need to raise at any point against a lunatic. Just sit back and let him donk them all off.

Not a bad win-rate...

The fold is not the problem I would have thought as he is clueless as to where he was in the hand. The problem was that he never asked the question to find out. A decent position raise on the flop would have in order and he could have taken it down there.

Chip counts please Jen?

 :goodpost:

Cant see any reason to raise against a lunatic. Particularly given the turn card.

He probably had a tip for number 26 I reckon.

Billy u coming in the night?

Not everybody can be as great as you Paul..

yes it looks very impressive when it works but not so good when it doesnt and you never know if its going to work until it is too late . But at least you look good when it does work

Still unwell mate.

Yeah but when he flopped top pair why allow the next cheap card? He didn't know whether the guy was drawing had two over that could have paired anything really. He just could have avoided an unnecessary clash, particularly as he was not the one with the play chips. If he was the big stack I agree about letting him 'donk' them off, but playing 140k he could have had a nice danger free increase and put Jan in hisd place for the next bb.

that sounds a bit nasty ben . not unexpected though.

not up to your usuual insightful and knowledgable analysis but at least confirms what i thought.

ty

P Evdokiou doubles up to 180,000.

Jan raised in early position to 30,000 and P Evdokiou raised him in for another 50,000 to call from the sb.

Jan dwelled for the gathering spectators, before calling with Jh 9d !

Evdokiou had As 8s and the board came down

Qh 4s 2c  turn Td (!!!) and the river, a delightful Ac :)

Colin Kennedy doubles up to a new chip high of over 160k... His opponent's  Ac Kd hit the  Aspades flop, but not as well as Kennedy's  Ad Ahrt!

Could the quiet one be making his move now that his stack is of threatening proportions?

This hour change thingy has messed up my schedule, for some reason Laddies are still on winter time.

This means that I'll be playing the 7pm tourney at 8pm, three glasses of wine ahead of normal (sic) or was that hic ?

The chips certainly are moving on Table Cool -

Prior to that doubleup, it was Mark Herron who took a huge pot from Raymond Nicholas with  Ahrt Kh vs Ad Jd.  Puts the young lad over 300,000 according to the eagle-eyed reporters from A World Of Poker - was wondering what had happened to shift the balance so dramatically.  You just can't watch it all.

Wooooohoooooo go on my cocker !!!

gl Marky

n1 marky17 keep it going

I agree



How can he 'find out' when any raise commits him to the pot, as Dubai says here:




No point to raise against someone who will fire 3 bullets with T hi.....

Whatever people might think of Jan's play, it has to be said that the other players on his table are wary (unsurprising given his unpredictability regarding calling) and trying to out-think the chipped up German.  There was an interesting moment when tikay pointed out that Dave was surely going to raise Jan's big blind. 

"Dave knows he's liable to go for it."  Indeed - and, unexpectedly, Jan passed quickly.  It looks like there's some of that "He knows that I know that he's likely to act in this way, so I'll take advantage of it in that way" kind of stuff going on.  You know what I mean.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

MARKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

This aint really needed. Ben is a young lad doing a decent job here.

He's been getting quite a bit of luck against Marc Goodwin (his was the AK in that hand) - earlier he was just moving in on Marc's big blind from the small blind every time, and Marc eventually caught his Jc Qd out with Ac 8h... but he escaped by spiking the Queen. 

Colchester Kev has just entered the building but has unfortunatley run out of chips. Its ok though, he had a rebuy and currently has 3 pies and 1 JD and coke :)

i thought his job was to pass on info not make snide comments no doubt had he said similar to you when you expressed an opinion you would react better than i did .
sorry

My mistake obviously he told everyone he had ten high and would keep betting!!!!

He was the shorter stack, it was a nice pot and he ended up with a tough decision for his tournament life that he passed and gave away 70k.

Well in that case why bother calling with the 6 on the flop or the king on the turn, if he was not going to shove his money in against a maniac with 2 pair whats he going to shove it in with.  If he was worried about the flush, a raise may give you info from some facial tell, or a hand stalling ove the chips, its not all betting patterns.

Had it been me against this nutter, I would have chucked them in.

It's clouding over a bit here what's the weather like down South ?

***********************************Hour dinner break*******************************

Announcement just made that when they come back, it's back to 1hr levels for one hour, then 45 minutes after one level of that.

So - to recap on the changes:  Started 45 mins for 2 levels, then 1hr.  Day 2 - 90 mins.  Day 3 - 90 mins, then 1hr, then 45 mins.  ?????????

The question I would like to raise again is:  "Why not save the scramble tonight by playing down to the final yesterday?"

Mull on that - back at 8:30pm.

When the King falls on the turn, Nik should have realised that card was his Rubicon. If he calls Jan's turn bet, then there is no getting away from the hand.

Thats what we can't work out newmanseye!

Of course i call on the end. My question is how can he raise on the turn without going all in, what use is a tell if you are all in?!!??!?!?!

my opinion the guy just didnt want that very very slim chance of going out ,he probably thoght he was a mile infront but for 1 slight moment he decided to pass and i think deep down before he seen jans cards he was infront,so being polite i dont think he had the balls to stick them in ,without being too rude...

One hour levels all the way through might have been a cunning innovation  :D

its gonna be a rubbish crap shot at the business end then?!!!! - shite!

No one is disputing this unless he was scared of the unlikely flush draw bet. The criticism was why not raise the flop to avoid any potential heartache? (at that stage he didn't know the K was coming!)

Go on Marky...only thing we hear from him is taking down big pots, that'll do nicely.

Paul you want me to hold your jacket?

I'll hold it?

How much is it worth?

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Markyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Maybe he wanted to take a turn before commiting, see if it slows down the maniac and also see if no spade comes, if he raises the flop and gets set in, does he call?

That would make a change from me having to hold yours lol

Maybe he called, hoping for a non-spade on the turn? Thought that he only had a pair of sixes?

I think the whole of the hand is indicative of the fact that Nik wasn't thinking clearly - he had no plan for the player or the hand. Therefore dissecting his play is a bit pointless as you're not going to be able to tell him anything he didn't work out for himself the moment he saw Jan's hand.

Flushy, I'm of the opinion here that hes committed regardless of what he does, I would probably bet out 50K of my remaining 100K  trying to induce the push from the opponent, all the while watching for any tells that I may have picked up through the tourney.

Its a shame the bloke made a mistake and it looks like he tilted afterwards.  I hope he learns from it and does not beat himself up about it.

I just spoke to Nik and he thought the guy had the flush. He's said he's made one mistake and it has cost him, thats Poker.

Jaffa.............

don't you mean his jumper?

was just gona say if his jackets anything like his jumper, i wouldny be holdin it!

i think you hit the nail on the head ,nik made a mistake,we all make mistakes apart from paul jackson lol only joking m8 .he will learn but this will def hurt

Hi Craw   welcome to blonde m8  

Good luck to MARKY H

listen the boys done good to get this far

it might be a bit of inexperiance hell learn from his mistakes

it can be very intimidating at that level

with some one as aggressive as the german

He must have had a  :blonde:

Ben was misinformed.


its folded round to Jan in the sb who makes it up and Nik Depala in the bb checks. blinds are 6000/12000, Jan is playing well over 300,000. While Nick is playing 140,000.

flop  5s 6s 2d. Jan fires out 22,000 and Nik calls.


Jan checked and Nik bet 24k


turn a scary Ks

Jan now fires out 40,000 and after a brief dwell up Nik calls again.

My money still goes in!

On the turn it does.

Ty Nem. That clears a lot of posts up.

that was very funny looooolll    i just learned to use pc m8

Get in there DC, Nice comeback.  :)up

i meant barry  kicking back door

Well nice to see that Kev hasn't been abusing my good (?) name on the Forum - he's getting another nice cup of tea for his diligent efforts.

Since I can see Dave being interviewed, I reckon that play has yet to begin again.  After waiting for 15 minutes for the chef to appear downstairs, we ran down the road and ate steaks. Mmmmm, steaks.

OK, they're resat - back to work.  Hope you're sitting comfortably, as shorter blinds or no shorter blinds, this will probably be a long night.

Blinds will be 8k - 16k, ante 500. 

Any chance of some more piccies? Preferably with some sarcastic captions... ;)

Jeffrey Rogers is OUT in 14th place, winning £3,000

Time was running out, with the blinds suddenly rather large, and when Jan raised (again) he pushed in on the button and eventually got called. 
Jeffrey showed:  7s 7h
Jan showed:  Th Tc

The board brought no set for Jeff, but nearly a flush for Jan who didn't need it anyway and he busts yet another player, consolidating his chip lead.

Jan will go all the way.


Great Forum thanks for all the informations.

********Ian Woodley is OUT in 13th Place Picking up £3,000*********

with blinds now at 8000/16000 players are getting busy and Ian Woodley is our latest casualty,

It was folded to Dave Colclough on the button who made a standard raise to 45,000

Ian pushed for 20,000 more for dave to call, Dave called quickly and showed Ah Jc

Ian - Ks Qs

flop came in this order 8s 6s (oh no) 8h  turn Ac  river 4c and Dave is now beaming with delight, and a stack of just over 300,000

Keith 'The Camel' Hawkins is OUT in 12th place, winning £3,000

He made a move on Jan's big blind while he still had enough chips to make it work - with 4h 5h.  But Marc Goodwin on his left spotted it and moved in over the top with Qd Kh.

The board brought the 4s on the river, but with the board reading Ac 3s Kc x only a 2 would have saved the Camel.  Well played after a long few days...

Hi Sinbad, welcome to the forum

Great updates btw guys, I've been quiet, but Ive been glued to them all day

I have to say that Sunday8pm has been a staunch supporter of Jan all the way through, and his controversial yet totally well-mannered style of play is only creating the right sort of debate.  Good luck to him.

cmon wales you are well overdue mr c

here here jen

mr cool & mr c HU would be good to watch...
& well done to b4matt...4th in tallinn

Marc Goodwin is OUT in 11th place, winning £3,000

Marc raised two off the button with  Ahrt Jc (as you do), and when Tim Flanders pushed his whole stack iin on the big blind, he called.  Big pot.

Tim's hand:  8h 8d

Flop:  7d  Aspades 8s  (so briefly a good reaction then a sigh as the third card of the flop hit from Marc)
Turn and river:   Kh Kc

Full house for Tim and Marc is a bit disappointed, as you can imagine.  "At best we're going on a fifty-fifty for 200k..." he muses.  "It cost me - just finishing ninth puts me at European rankings number One."

Next time, Mr. Cool. 

my bad bokk...

50 seconds

Is that a record bokking?

Unlucky Marc.

well played marc, a true gent and an excellent poker player

nice bok JT :-)

Vinni bokked someone in about 2 seconds earlier  :D

sorry i missed it julian, cool vs dc would be the bomb, great job by matt, u are hot as ever kid so the wsop should be a great trip 4 u 8) 

We're Hand For Hand...

Biggest action at the moment - Dave raises to 50k from the cutoff, and big blind Jan re-raises a hefty amount (c.100k).  Dave wasn't prepared to tangle with him right then, and we reckon that discretion is sometimes the better part of valour.  Basically, Jan sometimes gets real hands too!

oh well, should have read the next post, go dc

Finaltablebubble Time!

[attachment deleted by admin]

Marky is totally beaming at the moment.

I believe this is the furthest he's gone in a big event and he's relishing it, smiling and joking with anybody and everybody.

he's also made the final table with a reasonable 194,000

this is the funniest i have ever , ever, ever  and the bubbletime also

Actually he finished second in Tallinn last year

What's with all this mc hammer stuff? I never asked for this.  ::) ::) ::)

just kidding

the hammer rocks!!!

Pavlo Iacovou (we've been calling him Evdokiou as that's what he's down as here at the Vic) is the Bubble, 10th place, winning £4,000

Dave was initially in the threeway preflop action, but it was Tim Flanders who took on the all-in on the J 8 5 flop with his flopped set of Fives.  Pavlo had  Ks 8d, but that was no good and the final nine are now taking a deep breath and heading for the FINAL TABLE!

In the Ladbrokes tournamnet

oh, my apologies, he never mentioned it to me!

ok, i'm not wishing anyone luck anymore,
except maybe AJ in future events...that man just moves in a little too much for my tastes  /:-|

well played marky and gl 4 rest of way

gl to the welsh blonde and a little very good luck to marky147 seems a nice guy

I'll have my £300 on Jan, and £200 on dave both out right!

Also I just noticed there are well over a 100 people viewing this thread!!!!

Do we have any idea as to how long the blind levels are or are we just continuing on an "ad hoc" basis ?

ok lets get some pics up.

this is the German lunatic Jan Heitmann who i believe is the favourite..



[attachment deleted by admin]

BTW not wanting to boast or any such thing but two of my original tricast from the start of play are still in.

So no accusing the Karabiner of bokking please  :D

Come on Colin K and the Kabbage !!

let's have a big 3 cheers for the OAP trio of Messrs Kennedy, O'Connell and Bambos. Just shows you there's hope maybe for all the young attack-dogs.

Here's perma-big stacked John Kabbaj, he's had a mountain of chips throughout the whole tournament and has played his stack very well.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Absolutly, the older players have totally dominated this tournament, in fact, most of the young nuts went out on the first day.

1: Kabbaj

2: Flanders

3: Jan H

gl marky147

El Blondie doubles up off Tim Flanders!  (well, nearly - the river bet was 100k according to Jon Raab)

The crowds alerted Kev to "Action!" and DC was waiting to see if Tim would call, with the board  Aspades Ks Qh  Ac 6h.  He did, and Dave showed a winning  Ad Tc.  Healthy stack now, to say the least.   ;cheerleader;

[move]DC, JUST WIN BABY JUST WIN[/move][/i][/i][/color]

Go Dave!

Nice 1 Dave!  ;cheerleader;

Here he is, finalist Mark Herron, who's had a rocky road on the way to the final table but kept his cool all the way.

[attachment deleted by admin]

heres Raymond Nicholas, we haven't said much about him during the tournament because he's very quiet and nobody has asked about him on Blonde so i'd like to take this oppurtunity to say

WELL DONE RAYMOND!!! :)

btw - the pink chips are 10,000, purple - 5,000, Blue - 1,000, Yellow - 500 and blacks are 100

[attachment deleted by admin]

DC is the MAN ;goodvevil;

ANYONE PLAYING THE pokerstars 1K today?  Playing under flopit20

please behave people

Jen and ben and the updating team have better things to do than to have to delete rubbish and instant bans have and will be issued

And I know you've already seen this snap of Our Fearless Leader (with 530,000 presently) but I like the way you can read his hat, if not his expression.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Bambos and Kabbaj have clashed, with Bambos coming out the right side of it - it looks as though John is down to his last 100k.  Missed the detail, but there might be more action that end of the table any minute...

Well said Ironside.

ty Djinn

Thankyou, it is rather cute. :D

The final piccy from me, Karabiner's old mucka Colin Kennedy.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Just missed out on a seat in the satelite last night, good luck
looks like there is a few less runners this week due to the entry fee.
great prize pool all the same

Daves hats cool!!!

I have one just like that for my home game!!

And Colin Kennedy is the 9th place finisher, winning £5,000

It was Bambos again, on a roll, this time with  Ac Qs who took out Mr. Kennedy's  Ac Jc.  All in preflop, and not quite the clash we saw coming, but dramatic nonetheless.

Ben bokked him with his picture.

And Bambos has rocketed up in chips (near 500k) at this late stage.  Well, the final table is the right time to do it..

1500 runners, time for the rookie to have a result

Here's an intense Tim Flanders, who looks like he may be playing an invisible tambourine.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Go Rookie!!

Are there any BlondePoker hats for sale? I could do with a new poker cap.

wow, $295k for 1st.
that will do nicely

Get stuck in Brian, you are due for another fluke!!   ;hide;

JUst kidding mate, Give em hell!

Can I pass on my title to someone else then? Julian and Ben are deffo candidates to become the new 'King of Bokkers'.  ;tk;

ok, just 4u brian;
gl to the rookie!

You mean that A he caught against my Kings at the BB wasn't a fluke?

Good luck DC, the return of the "middle age"!!! poker giants is here

You may be surprised that the action is seemingly nonstop - but in fact it's only the half-millionnaires who can breathe relatively easily - the blinds are now 10k - 20k with a 500 ante.

Some seats have appeared for spectators, but whenever there is action everyone just stands up and rushes the rope, so I've found the best vantage point to be standing on one of their vacant chairs.  Going to take a pic from that angle so you can see what I mean.

Just noticed: if DC wins this event, he will break through the $2,000,000 barrier in the Hendon Mob's total tournament prize money listings.

he will only lose if he gets outdrawn  i know

Well played Colin, not that he'll ever see this as he is not in favour of PC's.

But lovely to see my old buddy who has been an excellent player for many years now, have a nice result.

Here's Dark Horse with A Bright Hat Kevin O'Connell.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Good luck o blonde one  :)up :)up :)up would be great to see him win  :)

Gl DC and Gl Rookie  ;goodluck;


Interesting to see that Sunday night tourney at Stars 3 years ago had a $60k prize pool and now all the Sunday tourneys irrespective of buyin are guaranteed $1million. Lets hope I can win one in 3 years time!

he will win it, just have to keep faith in the bleach 8) :blonde:

Come on Blondie!!

What a result it would be for Dave to win in the same week BlondePoker has been launched!! 

You would think he saved his "A" game just for that  :D

ConspiracyTheory@GlasgowBandit.co.uk!!

John Kabbaj doubles up,

John moves in for 87,000 in the cut-off with 9s 7s and is called VERY quickly by Kev o' Connell in the bb with  Aspades Kh

board came Tc 2c 2d turn 9c  river Ts.

a crippler for Kev who is now struggling on just short of 100,000

you guys have no idea how happy DC will be, its been a wild ride the last year or so for him ;applause; :respect: ;karabiner; :cheers:

Huge hand just builds up Jan again, while putting Bambos right down to the felt...

Bambos raised 100k, Jan pushed it all in and Bambos called with  Aspades Jc, perhaps because of who it was he was up against.
But Jan had Th Tc

The board:  6h 3d 7s 3s 9c.

So with less than 30k, Bambos is going to have to just chuck them in and hope to double up in the next couple of hands.

blonde poker using the same software as any 1 else?

Wow

Nice double up Mr Wilson

 Td Th

We's all be well chuffed as well Rookie!!

Dave has been due some luck!!  Hopefully tonight is his night!!

As expected, Bambos made his last moves in an effort to regain chips.  His first attempt succeeded with  Ahrt 2d, which blind Tim Flanders called with what turned out to be Jd 4d. 

Then again, but this time Kevin O'Connell moved in over the top with  Ahrt Ts, and Bambos' Ks 3s was no good, especially with an Ace appearing on the flop.

So Bambos is the 8th place finisher, winning £7,100

Kev o' Connell has doubled up through El Blondie,

Kev made his move on the button with 9c 9h

Dave called in the BB with Ac Jh

and the flop was a sigh of relief for Kev when it came 3d 9d 8h the turn 8s sealed it.

The pot was huge, around 400,000 and now Dave finds himself in a bit of a sticky situation...

Jen any chance of a rough chip update please?

What's the blinds/approx chips at Jen/Ben?

The boys at Cincins are watching - Go Dave!!!

Matt mate, lend me a grand so I can chat too!!

Cheers

Breaking News (well, it all is actually) -

Tim Flanders is OUT in 7th place winning £10,100.

Ben brings you the details...

Come on Dave! :)

Goooooooooooooooo the young one


disco

lmfao


 ;ifm;

Yep, good luck Marky. Nice lad. Wouldn't mind seeing him and Dave battling away in the final 2.  ;cheerleader;

Jo, no flirting on the forum please   ;yellowcard;

Tim Flanders is OUT

he had 33k left and had 10k of it invested in the sb so he decided to chance it with 53.

Kev o Connells A7 hit an ace on the turn and left Tim drawing dead.

Much praise to The Flanders husband and wife partnership who produced a great display during the tournament.

Come on DC!!!

Glasgow is rooting for you!!

Its even beter that your Welsh!!  Come on the CELTS!!!  :D

unlucky Tim..............

No ones mentioned him but Ray Nicholas is doing amazingly well...he's mainly a vic cash omaha player so this is a great performance in NL Hold em

Chip Counts,

the chips are flying everywhere so expect to see this fluctuate quite rapidly,

Marky147 - 157k
Dave Colclough - 420k
Jan Heitmann - 800k
John Kabbaj - 470k
Raymond Nicholas - 315k
Kev o' Connell - 520k

Hello Everybody! Any chance  for a rough chip count?

Twin Giant stacks are Jan Heitmann and Kevin O'Connell, (Jan has over 800k, with the average chips 400k), while Mark Herron has cause for concern with what looks like under 100k.

Which table are you on Rookie?

could we have the prize fund again please
too lazy to try and find it on the other pages :D

1st - £135,000
2nd - £72,500
3rd - £44,300
4th - £26,200
5th - £20,200
6th - £16,100
7th - £10,100
8th - £7,100
9th - £5,000
10th - £4,000
11-14th - £3,000
15-18th - £2,500
19-23rd - £2,000
24-27th - £1,750

hes on table 140 about 5k

Having said that, the fearless Jan was just pushed off his button raise by small blind Colclough moving all-in.  tikay mentioned (correctly, it seems) that Jan seems a little warier of El Blondie than his other opponents - I haven't seen him lay down hands to many.  But it could just be that he's raising with the kind of filth you just can't call a re-raise with every time he's against him!

TY El Yortle :)

make that about 7.2k

No problem dude. Easy enough to C+P as I had it open in another window.

Cheers.

Page 4!!

When you think DC started the day in 24th with only about 30k odd of chips and now on the final table still able to win shows how great he has played.

Well done, bring it home  ;karabiner;

SNOOPS / JEN / TIKAY

gOOD EVENING TO ALL

Will you please wish Marky147 best from me.

Also Dave and John although those old hands dont need it

Cheers

Nick

Too slow, joe  ;tk;

El Blondie catching up with Jan - 720,000

He just won quite a few off Kevin - after raising 100k preflop, Kevin called and then they did this:
Flop: K Q 4   check-check
Turn: Q    check-check
River:  5  check.  Dave bet 120k, and after a long think, Kevin called.  Dave turned over  Kc Qh!  That was around a half mil right there in that pot...

Go Dave!!!

Go Jan!!!

Munich stands right behind you.

GO JAN!

Interesting that the prizes increase by £6k followed by an increase of £4k ???

140

what u mean jo? in english

Thanks - I'm watching. Good luck.

Ayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

*******************Break********************

The remaining six are stretching their legs and having a chat and generally taking five.  Back when they are... (Tea and biscuits have arrived!)

best of luck fish :)

just please please please don't donk your chips off with some trash like 75, wait for the monster baby! :)

maybe DC just knows a fish when he sees one, he did that to me 2 times in vegas at a final table, i bad beat him both times because we all know i cant lay down a hand :D

How does Snoopy still get a mention!

I am setting up the "anti-thankyou snoopy organisation!!!!"

Come on dave take it down!!

Sorry James

Got knocked out soo early (last week sometime i think) didnt get to see you guys (well exceopt a fleeting glimpse of Jen)

point tAKEN :D

So is his friend who is staying with Jan here in London - apparently a regular at your home game too.  George says: "schoene gruesse auch von mir, paris war meine stadt, london is jans :). in schweden muessen wir dann halt beide ran"

point tAKEN :D

 rotflmfao

GO JAN GO!!!

Will dave talk business?

Janny B Goode?

STOP THE MADNESS, please control yourself!

Go El Blondie!

(Thanks Snoops)

Hmm, it's just a habit hard to beat, thanking sonopy for his updates.

Thanks Flushy ;)

OK they are back.  tikay is confused - and we're in the same boat.  The blinds were just 15,000- 30,000 with a 500 ante, and they are going to be that AGAIN for an hour.  Who knows.  It seems like they're plenty big enough right now, though, for the chips in play.  Would be a shame for these guys to have to play a crapshoot after so much great poker.

just thinking? i know he's had rotten luck recently, ........................ if he gets to 3 handed?

My 3 Are still in

Djinn.....
Pls tell George we can`t wait until the coming home party...:-)

def nottttt

C'mon Marky do the biz..........

never never never

I know the reply is from Kev using Jen's ID but reading it quickly and thinking it was Jen spending 1500 quid on pies makes me laugh rotflmfao

he recckons he is going to say bye to his mates and start a new life in Vegas if he wins this! :D . Only kidding

Tonji......       :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

So, we are back on a one hour clock now are we, what next, round of each, arm wrestling, spitting contest?

DEAL

you forgot the rochamboux, if thats how you spell it..

Danka.  :cheers:

come on Marky boy - big payout - plenty guinness in Dublin

Whatever it is, thats not how you spell it!

No deal!!

Its like watching thats how on C4

I think I've seen this Jan dude before... :respect:

I'd never want  to play against him. ;tk;

Raymond Nicholas moved in for around 140k on the button.  Big blind Jan thought for a while before calling with 7s 7c.  Ray had Ad Js.  The Ace hit the flop, a reprieve for Ray, and Jan loses a stack.  Just one, mind.

JAN RULES!!!

Doesn't matter. Jan will take it all in the end!

Small blind vs. Big blind news now - Jan bet 30k on the flop, called by Dave, then there was no betting from Jan or Dave Colclough all the way til the river, when the board had come Q A A 9 Q.  Dave bet 60,000, and after a while, Jan called the bluff (it was  5h 7h!  Seen that before...) with  Ks Jh.  So, he must have reasoned he was either in front, or behind (so says guru tikay).  In any case, he just got back a bit of what he lost to Raymond.

Nice try Flo

Greetings from Sven

Ps. it is fun to play Jan

Dave surrenders a small pot to Jan Heitmann...

[attachment deleted by admin]

chip counts please Jen/Ben/Kev anybody?

Come on DC!!

Hi Guys just got in and read from page 31 too lazy to go any further back, what's going on with the blinds, whose left in and chip counts pleeeeeeeeze :D

Can someone post Rookie's new table number please? Thanks.

table 20

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to Jan's fans

Schön, daß wir uns endlich persönlich kennenlernen

Mark Herron is the 5th place finisher, winning £20,200

Wow it's all happening so Fast!  It was Kabbaj again - he's working his way back into contention with back to back eliminations.  Mark made his last stand with A4, but John's 99 was good.

No Problem El, check out this thread for more up to the minute changes!!

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=8439.0

Jo xx

Raymond Nicholas is OUT in 6th raking in £16,100

John Kabbaj raised to 130,000 utg and Raymond instantly moved in over the top for 160,000 more.

John only had around 210,000 back, and was BB next hand, so after a very long dwell up, called.

John - 7c 7d
Raymond - Ah Qc

flop came a very good looking Ts 8s 9s for John

turn - 4h

river 5h

John now well chipped up with well over 600,000

I'll join the Jan fanclub, just because of his crazy play. I mean, it's not his fault he's from Bavaria ;)

Jan and DC heads-up?!!

Nice one. Cheers.

TABLE 20 M8 ok

well done marky - superb performance m8

apologies that this post came after Jen's for the 5th place finisher, im not as quick on the ol' keys ya know. :D

well played marky, great result m8

Counts (although out of date within 30 seconds!)

Dave Colclough    530,000
John Kabbaj        800,000
Kevin O'Connell    260,000
Jan Heitmann      940,000

Merci or should I say Danka

top, cream, rise

Auf Weiderschen Pet - thats the only German I know!

Any deals?

r u a cook now?

saving myself for wed 23.59 deadline

That'll do!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr  Mr Burns!!!!!!!!

Very well done Mark


Fantastic achievement in a top class field


Very very proud of you son

ps Mum says what's her cut?

Weird old pot now - threeway limping (DC, John and Jan) - they get 3c 8c 6d.  Jan bets out 50k, Dave raises to 170k, then John moves in!  They BOTH pass quickly... wonder what was going on there....

ich mochte eine beer bitte


all i learnt during my 18 months in germany

I'll be waiting...  :D

just the one?

Whats the blinds please Jen?

that is all the German u need round here.....

 4c 7s and 4h 7c , surely..

Ironside whats with the 5-0? is it some celebration of an England win? ;ifm;

15,000 - 30,000 ante 500.  Again.

No it would be 9-3 in that case  ;goodvevil;

Nice cash out Marky147.  Well played m8

Ouch, thanks .........again?

thanks for asking mate

5-0 was the score in the heads up matches between myself and tikay during the bash

he even chose games i hadnt even heard of to play to give him an edge

you want a redcard?

Has there been a deal?????????

Come on Dave, I want to unclench my buttocks!

George has volunteered info on Jan's hands (wow I can just sit on my leather sofa and he reports!) - Jan just raised to 100k preflop, and got a huge re-raise from John Kabbaj, to which he had to pass.  Looks like when John has chips, the bully-mode switch gets thrown...

I wish I hadn't said that

Zwei bier bitte...

Dos cerveza por favor.

Deux bierre s'il vous plait.

Dua golliama bierra mollia.

Rod's language guide...

Always ask for 2 - if you only need one - you can manage another...

Two O Beer O

Works in all languages if you shout loud enough

Not to be outdone - Dave makes a hefty old raise all-in which gets respect.  Should it have?  Not really - he showed his 4d 7c and said to one railer in particular "Kev, this one's for you!"

The full Wilson...

Wie komme ich am besten zur Bierstube bitte?
