Luton Main Event, Day One - Interactive

[RED-DOG]

Give Dingdell a kiss for me and tell her to forget she's a woman

(Tell her I'll remind her later)

[snoopy1239]

Board =

Just under 2k in the pot.

Greenleaf bets 500.

Not surprsingly, Carlo dwells and then calls the 500.

Mateyboy next door also calls.

Greenleaf reveals the fourth Ace to take the pot.

[snoopy1239]

You can kiss the screen if that's easier.

[snoopy1239]

Just recharging Greek Jack's ipod for him in my lappie.

Top of his playlist are Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy, Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson, and Slipknot's latest hit.

[snoopy1239]

Womble is up to 18k.

"The table has freed up now JP's left," he claimed. "I couldn't make any moves with JP and Chubbs behind me"

Womble then went on to eliminate Mateyboy with A-K v A-Q on an Ace high flop.

A few well timed steals later and he's up to the healthy figure of 18k.

Not bad considering the average is still only 13,500

They're breaking the second table of the night, which must mean more knockouts (and it's not even dinner yet.  Mmmm, dinner)

I know at least a couple of those:  Jules 'Hartwith' Adamson just left with a shrug and a resigned "Shocker."  I think that was more to do with a big pot he lost right before being moved the final time, though.

Also eliminated:  Stuart Hill, Jeff Kimber, Jason Simpson - who left saying, "I wasted £3 on this tourney...." apparently having qualified via a $5 satellite on bluesquare.

[snoopy1239]

This has to be the biggest hand of the night.

Richard Ashby and John Falconer have just been eliminated by Paul King who is now on 34 thousand.

Flop = 7-rag-rag (2 hearts)

All the chips fly in.

Ashby has the nut flush draw, Burnely John has Pocket Queens and King is sitting on a set of Sevens.

The Sevens hold up and Paul King scoops a massive pot.

[Royal Flush]

uh-oh, Eric Barker is OUT after being officially Mallued, big time!

Eric raises to 600, tikay calls with his Pocket Sixes, and Mallu makes it 3,600.

Eric moves all-in for another 4k, tikay folds, and Mallu calls.

Eric flips A-K and Mallu shows...

drum roll please...

8-3 off

And of course, 4 clubs on the board and Maullu takes it down with the mighty 3 of clubs.

OUCH!

[snoopy1239]

Trevor Reardon is OUT after flopping a set of Queens.

What do you reckon he lost to? Flush? Straight?

Nope, a higher set.

Flop was K-Q-rag, and MB held Pocket Kings.

Ouch

[snoopy1239]

Barry Neville flops a set of Kings on a King high flop. Iwan Jones holds A-K.

Fireworks set to fly, surely!

Just one problem, Barry's not at the table.

Bah, what a time to go to the loo.

[Djinn]

It's time for a mini gallery of chip leaders, dontcha reckon...

Firstly, the Harrises - Mark (above) and moodily lit Sid (below) who are both in the top ten currently.  Just saw Sid take 2k out of Julian Thew's remaining 5k after calling his preflop raise with 78o and flopping two sevens... can't miss, according to Tikay.  Who also can't miss.

[snoopy1239]

Dingdell -- 16,750
Paul Jackson -- 12,025
Des Jonas -- 11,850
Carlo Citrone -- 11,525
Dave Smith -- 4,225
Jim Reid -- 34,700
Vic Kamwar -- 4,800

[snoopy1239]

Just seen an eye-opening hand from table Reid.

Flop =

1.5k in the pot, just Jim Reid and Vik Kanwar remaining, the latter with just 4.1k in front of him.

Jim Reid (button) bets 4.1k, effectively putting Vik (Big Blind) all-in.

After the lenghiest of Citrone-esque dwells, Vik makes the call with .

Jim Reid shows and it's all doom and gloom for Vik, or so he thought...

Turn =

River =

chop chop

lucky rascal!

[Djinn]

Also decently stacked at the start of the 150/300 level:  Lloyd Greensite (I believe) and Stasia Xanthos

[Djinn]

Of course Jim Reid probably still at the top of the chip leaders, after his quick trebling of stack which puts him in a powerful position in these early stages.
