Bolton Extravaganza: Final Day Live Update- Interactive

[snoopy1239]

And whilst we wait for the reshuffle to make room for the £100 D-C F/O, I managed to grab the chip-counts for Table Iqbal.

Iqbal -- 108k
Herbert -- 83k
Ashworth -- 55.5k
Douglas -- 22k
Huckley -- 69k
Mulla -- 61k

Go on the old fella!!


are we near the bubble now? must be close

Tikay tells me they've not only decided to move the finalists up on a kind of raised back area with spectator seats (great for us - it's right by our office) but for some reason they've just opted to change to a 10-handed final.  This is just wrong, wrong wrong:

1) It's not fair at this hand for hand stage, as one table is 6-handed and one 5-handed which disadvantages the short stacks on the 'faster' moving table

2) The chip leader will get to play short handed, when his lead is more powerful, for less time

This is one of my pet annoyances about tournament direction, and I'd be stomping my little feet whether large or short stack if they changed from 9 to 10 at the eleventh hour...

[Newportlad]

I agree

You just cant change the rules half way through a tournament.

you are right. At the worst you've got to tell everyone with a fuull two tables left, it affects strategy

[The_nun]

Home now ..safe n sound and the ole fella's still in i see... phewwww... so it was not just my rail birding skills keeping him there..x

[Djinn]

While a rather tedious break occurs from the final, I thought I'd mention (at the vehement suggestion of Ariston) that the £100 comp which is about to start up here is going to be played in an interesting fashion by Womble... He's decided to just move his chips all-in blind every hand.  Until he gets knocked out.  Bets are being taken on how many rounds he lasts - there's one bet of two rounds already taken...

[The Baron]

One hour till the freeroll!

Sign up sign up!

[julian]

come on the womble!

[snoopy1239]

Ariston reckons he would fold A-Q and A-K in the Womble challenge. Not sure I could miss out on such an opportunity, especially with it being a double chance freezout.

For those who don't know, Womble is moving in blind every single hand in tonight's £100 NLH D-C F/O

does £100 mean that little to him?

[Djinn]

And Tikay knocks out Paul Hatton in 11th place (good for him they've just done a saver for £1,000 for 11th and 10th place...)

It folds to Tikay on the small blind, who raises to 5,000.  Paul re-raises another 12,000 from the big blind - Tikay calls (suspicious or WHAT?)
Flop:     Check from Tikay and an all-in; called by Tikay with the
Paul Hatton's was in bad shape, and stayed that way.... and the Grandfather is up to 86,000.

Personally i think that is rediculous.
