Grovsenor Grand Prix 2006 - At a Glance Final Day

[NoflopsHomer]

Rumit has gone in 19th. He pushed to Roberto Romanello's raised from the button with  , Roberto called with  and the board came 


Shortly after another short stack went out with  to a  raise from another player.

Flop:

 

Turn:

  (No better turn surely?)

River:

John Exley is OUT.

All the chips went in Pre-Flop. John showing the sexy looking  , whilst Matey Boy had him dominated with  .

The  flop was just what Matey Boy ordered, & running Nines on the Turn & River changed nothing.

17 left.

Roberto Romanello and Matt Cartwright are joint chip leaders with about 230k each

[NoflopsHomer]

A raise from Michael Quayle was met a Romanello re-raise but Quayle pushed all-in and Romanello had to call. Quayle had the bullets    while Roberto had the less stellar  . And althought Romanello flopped the nut flush draw, Quayle's trip aces held up in what was close to a 200k pot.

[NoflopsHomer]

Zippy has about 80k, he just got all-in against Alex Harrison (blondite MrAlex2u), both showed AQ. Choppity Chop.

16 players left and 8 more minutes at this level.

[NoflopsHomer]

JJ vs A8 takes out a player on the left hand table whilst 66 holds up vs AK on the right.

I must say that the comp is being played in a very good spirit despite the oodles of cash on the line with lots of handshakes and good luck wishes passed on by those who have busted out.

[NoflopsHomer]

Peter Smyth just doubled up against Jamie Gubb's Pocket Ladies with Pocket Tens, board 9-T-2-2-K.

On the other table Anthony Hughes doubled through Tony Adderley with A-Q against Tony's Pocket Kings, A queen on the flop and another on the river.

Tony then pushed with and doubled up himself against Mick Fletcher who held on a board.

[tikay]

20 minutes leftat 6k-12k, then it goes 7k-14k.

13 players left, average is 184,600.

The Final is at last in sight. Been a great comp, but I'm wrecked.

[tikay]

With 13 players left, we have DEAL TALK.

It's been suggested that 13th to 4th ALL lock up £10,000 now.

I don't think that kite will fly, but I think some sort of redistribution of Prize Money looks likely. Or maybe not.

[tikay]

...and now play has been suspended - for the last 10 minutes - while the players discuss a redistribution of the Prize Money.

The proposal was tabled, 13th to 7th ALL get £10,000.

Then, 5th gets £14,000

4th £18,700

3rd £32,000

2nd £45,000

WINNER £75,00

This looks like it may just get accepted - they are still talking, & the clock is still "PAUSED".

[tikay]

I believe that the Deal has been tabled & accepted. Play has resumed.

[NoflopsHomer]

Alex Harrison has gone with Q-J vs T-T in 13th

Mike Quayle was crippled with T-T vs Q-Q and departed shortly after in 12th.

Both will get £10,000.

[NoflopsHomer]

Roberto has gone from a shorty 60k to 250k without showing a hand. Rather impressive.
