easy matt it was hard on bolton , not pullin decent dealers in from 20 minutes away.............. they had to take our dealer off the rebuy tonight , thought he was goin to belt channing .........

[snoopy1239]

A disgruntled audience member sneaks out of the TV area, muttering, "They'll be there all bloody night..."

Karl raises to 100k and gets some blinds.  Er... that story doesn't disprove the guy's theory.  Wait just a few moments, I am sure some more chips will change hands.

Karl has the button and calls.  Praz raizes 81k; call.
Flop:     check-check
Turn:    Praz bets out 100k; Karl calls.
River:    Praz says, "that much," pointing at a row of 5k yellow stacks.  It's a big bet - 285k when counted.
Karl inspects the remaining stack of his opponent...and lets it go.  Praz shows .

[snoopy1239]

Still Jen here - I feel a strange compulsion to refer to my arms as 'guns' when Snoopy goes off somewhere. 

While some passing goes on, a word about the TV arena - it is very large-scale, with a table bigger than that used for the EPT and audience seating on three sides.  It may be an interesting logistical problem to sort out fitting this mobile stage into some of the less roomy casinos on the Tour - Bolton is the largest, we think.  I can imagine cash games might need to be set up on top of the lighting rig, like bunk beds.

Would that be for high stakes games? 

[snoopy1239]

flop.  Praz checks, Karl bets 40k, Praz raises to 100k total, which wins him another pot.  The acoustics in here are weird - I can see them chatting away on the screen less than 20 feet away, but even though I could hit Karl on the head by throwing my pen (and I'm a poor shot) I can't hear a word.  Shame; they're probably tabletalking each other nicely.

----------------------------------------------

Blinds are currently 15k/30k, at which point I was told they would freeze, which seems reasonable.

----------------------------------------------

Praz raises 60k, call.  Snoopy, who can lip read, apparently, says Praz said, "Don't you want to think about it?" when Karl instacalled.
Flop - Praz bets 100k, call.
Turn   Praz checks, Karl bets 200k.  Praz announces all-in.....

[The Camel]

We were deep in Day Two of this Event. I got Mick Fletcher in Seat 6, me in 7, Gosney in 8, & Praz in seat 1.

I'm just an onlooker, I can't go the pace with those boys, I got way above average & am biding my time, I need a hand against these boys, I can't ouytplay them. But as anyone who knows Mick Fletcher will tell you, when he gets chip's he's a right bugger to handle, R, R, R R R.

I don't think Praz had played Fletcher previously, though I may be wrong.

Praz joins the table, & sits out for a whle, watching tricks. Fletcher is Table Captan, BIG time, & once he invests chips in a Pot, he rarely passes.

I'm fascinated by this. Praz is eyeing up Fletcher, & I can sense an incident soon. They both have 60k ish.

Fletcher, again, Raises, UTG this time, makes it 4k to play. All pass to Praz. Praz think for maybe 2 minutes, staring at Fletcher the whole time. Then calls.

Flop comes 

Fletcher insta bets, 10k this time.

Praz repeats the long dwell & stare. Never taskes his eyes off Fletcher. 5 minutes go by. Praz eventually calls. The entire table is spellbound.

Turn is 

Again, insta-bet by Fletcher, 20k this time.. Again, Praz thinks, Praz stares at Fletcher. Fletcher is like the Iceman, but he's looking a bit edgy now. Praz, after 6 or 7 minutes, calls.

River, 

Now Fletch makes his first mistake - he can't pull the trigger. He has about 20k left, & thinks, then taps the table. In a flash, Praz, still without taking his eyes off Fletcher, says "all-in", it's his last 20k

Now it's Fletchers time to dwell up, & dwell up he does, for an age. Eventually, he flicks his cards in the muck.

"Wanna see my hand?" says Praz. "Nope" says Fletcher.

But some nosey guy says "yes please, I do". I could not help myself, this hand was like the Ivey-Jackson hand in the  Monte Carlo Millions, which I also witnessed first hand.

And Praz turns over  .

Breathtaking.

And poor briefly Mick left the table, to vent a little frustration. No need, he'd been outplayed by a great Champion.

Awesome stuff, & I'll never forget it. The boy has game.

"The entire table is spellbound."

Are you sure the entire table hadn't fallen asleep? A 20 minute hand is pretty sleep inducing in my book.

[snoopy1239]

Karl passes.  Chips filtering down Praz's end of the table.

[The Camel]

Oh God.

Please don't say we have teams like "The Crew" and "The Shippit Hollas" starting up over here.

I always thought poker was an solo pastime.

Please let there be no hollering and high fiving when someone gets outdrawn here, it might just be enough for me to give up the game. I absolutely cannot abide it myself.
