Manchester GUKPT: Day 1A - At A Glance

[danafish]

Om Aggarwal (now there's a great name) raises to 2100 - Gavin Priestley in the BB and Neil Downing both call.

Flop -  - check round.

Turn -  . Gavin checks and Neil bets 1000. Om raises to 4k - Gavin folds and Neil reluctantly calls.

River -  and Neil checks - Om goes to bet and Neil immediately folds. A disappointed Om shows his pocket jacks.

Thomas Dunwoodie raises preflop only for Wayne Blodwell (I heard someone say he was a donkey during one of the breaks, but that is only hearsay and we shall thus ignore it entirely) to move in. Dunwoodie dwells for what seems like absolutely forever, Blodwell staring down at the felt in a resolutely blank manner. I mean, he dwells FOREVER. And EVER.

No, not forever - eventually he folds his  face up. Which is very exciting. "I don't want to call for a 50/50," he says. Blodwell does not show AK, or any other hand for that matter.

Oooh, there is some ANIMOSITY brewing. The flop says  , and Thomas Dunwoodie bets 4k. Wayne Blodwell calls.

Turn -  and Dunwoodie bets another 4k. Blodwell is now cowed though - he folds, and Dunwoodie throws down his  with genuine hatred in his eyes. Blodwell doesn't seem to care.

Wellchief -- 38k "Lost a race with A-Q to 7-7 for a 30k pot."

Matt Tyler -- 33k "There's so much limping and then calling of big raises, it's like a £50 rebuy..."

Oh we are SO CLOSE to over now. In fact, they've stopped. Floppy's gone to find out how many are left in, and chip counts will magically appear overnight, so for now you can

I think there's roughly 47 players remaining, including Flushy, Matt Tyler, WellChief, Greek Jack, Mick McCool, Mick Fletcher. We got kicked out as they began the laborious process of bagging up. Chip counts will appear later tonight or early tomorrow morning and we'll be back again for 4pm for the start of Day 1B.
